they'd basically be illegal immigrants wouldn't immigrants so they wouldn't qualify money out of our qualify for money out of our foreign budget. now foreign aid budget. now supposedly is massive supposedly this is a massive problem because now what on earth are we going to do? how are we going to find billions of pounds to pay for accommodation? now the aid now we can't use the foreign aid budget . just don't just budget solution. just don't just don't do it. cut the foreign aid budget by whatever amount of money we would need to now spend on channel migrants. simple under international rules, governments can spend foreign aid in their own countries on humanitarian support for refugees and asylum seekers . the refugees and asylum seekers. the home office, if it fully implements its illegal migration act, may therefore have to find money for accommodation from other budgets. well, the foreign office may have billions more to spendin office may have billions more to spend in developing countries . spend in developing countries. but no, we won't just don't do it. i mean, for goodness sake , it. i mean, for goodness sake, this is our country. this is our money. it's your money. it's up to us how we manage our borders and our money. and how we spend our money. surely the chairwoman of the commons international development and labour development committee and labour mp champion , said using

mp sarah champion, said using foreign aid money for channel migrants in britain was against the spirit of the overseas development assistance . forgive development assistance. forgive me, but i think paying gangsters to illegally enter the uk and demanding that taxpayers pay for your life if against the spirit of things as well, isn't it? we have paid hundreds of billions of pounds over the years to some of pounds over the years to some of the countries where some of these people are coming from paying these people are coming from paying more foreign aid there won't stop them spending more taxpayers money on hotels instead of using the foreign aid budget will be an absolute disgrace. the fact that channel migrants no longer be migrants will no longer be classed as asylum seekers and will longer qualify will therefore no longer qualify for foreign aid in the uk for foreign aid whilst in the uk means nothing. okay, nothing . we means nothing. okay, nothing. we don't have to find the money from somewhere else. our country , our money, our rules. gbv us. our gbnews.com. get those emails coming in thick and fast. just

who actually knows how the system can work in vest in processing these people more quickly. i'm not i'm actually not against i mean, there are some weird foreign aid stuff. i always campaigned against kenyan rainmakers billion sent to india and billions sent to china to teach them how to do small business. it teaches the chinese how to do small business. millions spent to india to pay for teachers and civil servants. why they got the money to try and man the moon. and put a man on the moon. >> i know, but you're >> well, i know, but you're going load flak from going to get a load of flak from the now, as the indian community. now, as i've peril, i've found to my peril, actually, daring suggest actually, by daring to suggest that can something that if you can fire something at side of the moon, at the other side of the moon, then shouldn't be then maybe you shouldn't be getting foreign aid. their argument that argument against that is that they the they don't actually want the foreign want go foreign aid. i don't want to go down just down that rabbit hole again just yet. on this, you yet. but but but on this, you you see rabbit, but you seem to be on point be agreeing on a point here which is that instead which is that actually instead of spending money on these ridiculous things, instead of looking the illegal migration looking at the illegal migration bill as a pitfall now that, oh , bill as a pitfall now that, oh, gosh, we're not classing these people as asylum seekers anymore, have

anymore, so we're going to have to more in order to to find more money in order to pay to find more money in order to pay for no, that pay for them for this. no, that money british people. >> now, i think we should find a new secretary. you're not new home secretary. you're not answering the question or going to secretary. to your home secretary. >> right. >> all right. >> all right. >> if you want. >> all right. if you want. >> all right. if you want. >> i saying we should cut off >> am i saying we should cut off foreign mean, have foreign aid? i mean, we have been giving money to the poor through missionary societies, victorian ones , for 200 years. victorian ones, for 200 years. our problems today is that everybody within about 1000 miles of britain's got an iphone and they now , thanks to and they now, thanks to destroying afghanistan, destroying afghanistan, destroying iraq, destroying syria, destroying libya , syria, destroying libya, destroying sub—sahara africa , destroying sub—sahara africa, all of them want to do one thing come to europe. many more come to france and italy and spain , to france and italy and spain, as we know in germany, not us. but they come here and but they do come here and they're causing huge tensions and problems . and problems. >> but the latest thing as well is this. and in fact, this is something i'm going to touch on in the next hour. so i'm going to too much. but are to deviate too much. but we are now that i've now seeing something that i've been on for ages, now seeing something that i've been is on for ages, now seeing something that i've been is that on for ages, now seeing something that i've been is that people for ages, now seeing something that i've been is that people who've ges, which is that people who've been granted asylum and refugee

status being made status are now being made homeless haven't got homeless because we haven't got anywhere live. and anywhere for them to live. and i think that than time think it is that more than time that these do gooder charities, these human rights lawyers , these human rights lawyers, whoever were honest with people in calais, and we said, you know what, you can pay human traffickers thousands what, you can pay human traffickersthousands pounds traffickers thousands of pounds to across the channel. to get you across the channel. we can probably put up a legal case that you in case that grants you asylum in britain, end up britain, but you will end up homeless because don't have homeless because we don't have enough . well, fine. homeless because we don't have enothere . well, fine. homeless because we don't have enothere are . well, fine. homeless because we don't have enothere are enough., fine. homeless because we don't have enothere are enough homeless on >> there are enough homeless on the streets anyway. i don't go out london ever without at out in london ever without at tripping across beggars in one of the richest cities, capital cities of the world. i was up in sheffield for my daughter's wedding other day. beggars wedding the other day. beggars everywhere. got so many everywhere. we have got so many homeless people . and again, the homeless people. and again, the problem is one solution. i know you'll scream, but it works in other countries. let them earn a living. let them do the manual menial labour. if i could use that offensive term that brits won't do, we might have less need for immigrant workers . need for immigrant workers. >> but you still have a time for it. i mean, now some of them are

being given seven days from getting asylum or being granted refugee this country. getting asylum or being granted refu1they're this country. getting asylum or being granted refu1they're told, this country. getting asylum or being granted refu1they're told, right,ountry. getting asylum or being granted refu1they're told, right, you've getting asylum or being granted refut01ey're told, right, you've getting asylum or being granted refut01ey're tcof. right, you've getting asylum or being granted refut01ey're tcof this1t, you've getting asylum or being granted refut01ey're tcof this1t, yotine got to be out of this hotel in seven which enough seven days, which is not enough time job. really and time to find a job. really and it's time to it's not enough time to therefore not therefore get yourself not allowed to work, though they're not been granted not once they've been granted refugee status, then they will be. is other be. but this is the other problem so we're problem you see now. so we're coming up against fronts coming up against two fronts today. we've this idea that today. we've got this idea that it's supposedly hiccup. now it's supposedly a hiccup. now it's supposedly a hiccup. now it's a flaw in our it's a hiccup, a flaw in our illegal migration bill, that we're these we're going to class these people immigrants, people as illegal immigrants, which it which is supposed to make it easier to deport them, easier for us to deport them, which it easier for which won't make it easier for us them because the us to deport them because the lawyers allow us to lawyers won't allow us to do it and dragged and end up getting dragged through won't through the courts and it won't get quite get off the ground, quite literally. in case of rwanda literally. in the case of rwanda and have find and so we have now to find billions of pounds, billions more taxpayers money to house more of taxpayers money to house them in hotels because we can't use the foreign aid budget. that surely is ridiculous. we just don't use it. >> it's ridiculous. to you and don't use it. >> in; ridiculous. to you and don't use it. >> in; ridichbls. to you and don't use it. >> in; ridichb newsyou and don't use it. >> in; ridichb news viewer, it me in every gb news viewer, it makes perfect sense to suella braverman who has only got one object in mind the moment. object in mind at the moment. it's when rishi sunak it's so clear when rishi sunak has after he loses the has to resign after he loses the next she wants to be

next election, she wants to be first out the and she first out of the frame and she thinks there's huge tory thinks there's a huge tory activist vote, elderly activist vote. that's fanatically anti—refugee , anti—immigrant and anti—refugee, anti—immigrant and the rest of it. i'm not sure that's true, but. >> right. look i'll tell you what. we could put this to a vote now to the public and go, do do you want £2.5 billion do you do you want £2.5 billion worth of taxpayers money in the middle living middle of a cost of living crisis pay ? of course, crisis going and pay? of course, for hotels, people would no i >> -- >> they would say no. and it can be but i keep be solved. but not. i keep repeating ukip suella braverman really cares what anybody out there thinks. she cares about there thinks. she cares about the couple of hundred thousand people who decide the next leader of the conservative party. this is all her game plan . it's why you won't find a single tory mp out there now any much now are supporting her. they like to keep their seats . they like to keep their seats. she doesn't. >> but she was former labour >> but she was a former labour minister. from i've gleaned minister. from what i've gleaned from so far and from what you've said so far and correct me if i'm wrong, you think foreign aid think that our foreign aid budget ridiculous at budget is a bit ridiculous at times. think that times. you don't think that the british be british taxpayer should be paying british taxpayer should be paying money paying the amount of money that we channel we are paying for channel migrants don't think we

of saying that. of any body saying that. >> starmer oh for heaven's >> keir starmer oh for heaven's sake, isn't saying what sake, isn't saying that. what they as long as they are saying is as long as you have suella braverman in post, nothing will change. she's like the english rugby union manager . manager. >> it's not this that needs to change though, is it? it's not this. it's our attitude that we have to spend more billions. that's what needs to change. you could this exact policy and could keep this exact policy and enact could get people enact it. you could get people going rwanda, could going to rwanda, you could deport back their own deport them back to their own country you not the country. you could not make the british taxpayer pay for more hotel costs, etcetera. just with this rwanda to one side. >> rwanda's a joke. the only people who've ever tried it with the sent some the israelis, they sent some african down there and african migrants down there and they walked out of their hostel within weeks and within about three weeks and made back to israel. made their way back to israel. so just let's just that's a long walk. well, when you are desperate , fearful, frightened desperate, fearful, frightened and want to live in a richer country, even with very poor , country, even with very poor, maybe welfare conditions in israel actually is quite a generous country. it's a nice country. i think i'm not getting into the israeli palestine

exactly see the kind of opportunism that we've come to expect from captain hindsight over here before , before today, over here before, before today, before today. he's never won , before today. he's never won, raised this issue with me across this dispatch box. >> i do actually think for what it's worth, that was a really poor answer. pooi' answer. >> poor answer. >> the idea that the leader of the opposition has never at any point raised this massive catastrophe that we've been sitting quiet sitting on and keeping quiet about the best part of 13 about for the best part of 13 years. mean , it's not years. yeah, i mean, it's not a great answer, is it? i i'm great answer, is it? i mean, i'm surprised raise jeremy surprised he didn't raise jeremy corbyn cross to corbyn again. let's cross now to westminster to gb news westminster and speak to gb news political christopher political editor christopher hope. public political editor christopher hopea public political editor christopher hopea winner public political editor christopher hopea winner from public political editor christopher hopea winner from thatiublic political editor christopher hopea winner from that prime with a winner from that prime minister's questions christopher however, starmer going in however, keir starmer going in strong cowboy concrete . strong over cowboy concrete. >> yeah, i like that. the idea of cowboy builders. he's talked about cowboy ministers as running the country. i mean , the running the country. i mean, the bits are falling off government buildings and guess who's been charged for past 13 years? charged for the past 13 years? the but you're the tory party. but you're right, patrick. it's right, of course, patrick. it's a cross government issue. going

back to the mid late 90s for warnings and through the early 2000 to labour party. but then they , they try to grip it, but they, they try to grip it, but they, they try to grip it, but they this building schools they had this building schools for future programme. for the future programme. labour did that reduced by michael did that was reduced by michael gove when he was education secretary because as the pm reminded mr sharma today in in the house of commons, as many of those those it excluded sorry, 80% of the schools and it was dnven 80% of the schools and it was driven by ideology as the pm said. so i think what i thought was quite fascinating was how sunak came out fighting with some actual stats to knock back the days of criticism which the government has correctly taken from labour. i wonder why that support wasn't there for gillian keegan fighting keegan when she was fighting fighting earlier this fighting the fire earlier this week . week. >> indeed. and we've had the full list now of all of these schools. what do you make what do you make of rishi sunak remark , you know, this remark then that, you know, this is this is political opportune ism from the labour party and that he hasn't once raised it with me over this dispatch box? yeah

>>i yeah >> i mean, that was a bit thin really. i think there was a complaint to the speaker about that because there have been times when labour has raised it. yeah, you can say that yeah, i mean you can say that and it wasn't really opportunism . this a big national crisis . this a big now national crisis which has no ending. i asked the pm spokesman after prime minister's questions today when will this end ? because during will this end? because during his exchanges with mr sunak did say that they can put remedies in place within weeks . but say that they can put remedies in place within weeks. but i said, well, what is week , end of said, well, what is week, end of october? they wouldn't say there's no timeline the end there's no timeline on the end when finally children, children at get back into at home can get back into school. and that's that is the real here. real victims here. >> no , exactly. and that is it. >> no, exactly. and that is it. and as as we have and as long as we do have children school and we do children of school and we do have a serving government, it will always down. yeah, will always come down. yeah, we'll always come the we'll always come down on the responsibility. government, responsibility. our government, especially been especially if they've been in charge and charge for 13 years. and christopher can i ask you a question? you know, you you've been the a heck of been in the game a heck of a long here, right? you've long time here, right? you've been the a heck of a been at the game a heck of a long you've them all been at the game a heck of a long and you've them all been at the game a heck of a long and go.|'ve them all been at the game a heck of a long and go. you them all been at the game a heck of a long and go. you know, 1em all been at the game a heck of a long and go. you know, yourall been at the game a heck of a long and go. you know, your way come and go. you know, your way around just around westminster. it's just a

little a stench of death little bit of a stench of death around the tory at around the tory party at the moment. think ? moment. do you think? >> there is a death >> yeah, there is a death rattle, if that's what you're asking for. >> i mean, i think in a sense that it does seem that the tory party their meeting, the party spent their meeting, the tory tory party the tory tory top tory party the tory ministers , forgive me, the ministers, forgive me, the cabinet were meeting yesterday to discuss collapsing buildings on their watch, while keir starmer got together his gang and talked about new ideas to run country. so think run the country. so i think there's a feeling of that's a problem that the has got. mr problem that the pm has got. mr sunaki problem that the pm has got. mr sunak i know they are planning a major reshuffle after the party conference in october before the king's speech in early november, and that will be his chance to bnng and that will be his chance to bring up these new people elected in 2019 to almost try to reinvent what the tory party for the 21st century, the tory party is like a snake. patrick it sheds its skin and moves on. it sheds its skin and moves on. it sheds leaders like like snakes sheds leaders like like snakes shed their skin and that's what they'll be doing. not shedding they'll be doing. not shedding the lead in this sense, but shedding the top team around sunak bringing new faces, sunak and bringing new faces, new that's the

new names. and that's the challenge for he's got challenge for starmer. he's got a six week head start on that. but do expect that full battle but i do expect that full battle to be joined between these two teams want to win the next teams who want to win the next election in early, november. >> christopher, thank you very , >> christopher, thank you very, very much. as ever. christopher hope that news political hope that gb news political editor and think eagle eyed editor and i think eagle eyed viewers able viewers might have been able to spot distinctly spot what appears distinctly anyway, like a naked sunbather behind we go. behind him. but there we go. there's to come there's loads more still to come between now and 4:00. i will ask i will ask what on earth has gone on in britain? it's not britain or birmingham, our second city. after the council declared itself bankrupt . i declared itself bankrupt. i think there's a lot to unpack there. i know there's a lot to unpack there, including cost for a it system that was a new it system that was supposed streamline salaries, a new it system that was suppwasi streamline salaries, a new it system that was suppwas supposed1line salaries, a new it system that was suppwas supposed to re salaries, a new it system that was suppwas supposed to comearies, a new it system that was suppwas supposed to come inzs, a new it system that was suppwas supposed to come in at that was supposed to come in at 19 million and came in at 100 million. couldn't make it up million. you couldn't make it up right though, your right now, though, are your headunes . right now, though, are your headlines . rihanna headlines with. rihanna >> patrick, thank you. good afternoon. it's 331. your top stories from the newsroom . are

its effective bankruptcy, so the council basically declared itself bankrupt after being hit with a £760 million bill. and confirmed that all new spending, with the exception of statutory services, which is the things that they have to do, must stop immediately. birmingham city council's leader insists that vital services will be protected. but how did they go bust? what is going on here? they're not the only council in trouble, by the way, but i think there's quite lot go out there's quite a lot to go out here. joining now to discuss here. joining me now to discuss this gb news this further is gb news economics editor economics and business editor liam halligan on the money liam halligan with on the money . right. so we've had i mean, like dodgy computer systems that have come in like five times over the budget . we also have over the budget. we also have a massive increase in adult social care, which i'm quite keen to drill down in. look what's gone on this is a problem that's paying on this is a problem that's paying out across the country. >> we've already seen what's called a section 114 notice when a council , called a section 114 notice when a council, it's called a section 114 notice when a council , it's not saying it's a council, it's not saying it's bankrupt, it's saying we're

going to stop spending on all statutory non statutory. we're only spend on non only going to spend on non statutory statutory services . so statutory statutory services. so what is a statutory service? it's education, it's waste and recycling. it's social care. so those things will be place. those things will be in place. but things like public works, building centres, building parks, leisure centres, that's that gets that's the stuff that gets frozen. really caught the frozen. it's really caught the eye in birmingham because obviously it's our second city. sorry people from manchester, but it's the largest but also it's the largest actually unitary council in europe terms of the amount of europe in terms of the amount of money controls and this has money it controls and this has happened, i think, because there was a supreme court judgement which meant that council workers that were getting bonuses as it didn't matter what sector they were in, they had to get bonuses because sectors like say, dinner, ladies and teaching assistants , it's mainly female . assistants, it's mainly female. they weren't getting bonuses, but sex sub sections like waste disposal, refuse collection construction, those council workers were getting bonuses. so governments had to pay retrospectively compensate on to

council workers who didn't have bonuses. >> so go on. so just again, just reiterate that for me. right? so we had there was because there's an equal pay issue, is that right? >> that's right. it was the equal pay act. does the equal pay that predominantly pay act mean that predominantly women employment areas of council services should get bonusesif council services should get bonuses if the men get bonuses as and the sectors where it's mostly men, just the way the way things work and the supreme court said they should. and so far over a number of years, this was back in birmingham has was back in 2012. birmingham has paid out £1.1 billion from this, but they've still got a lot more to pay . and then, as you rightly to pay. and then, as you rightly say, patrick, there was an it system called oracle that was introduced shall we introduced that went, shall we say, family show daytime television belly up. yeah and also there's been some profligacy . there's a lot of profligacy. there's a lot of reporting today about the amount of money birmingham city spent on taxis. there's a lot of reporting about, you know, streets that the street furniture was changed. they were

named diversity way and harmony avenue and solvency avenue. i mean, in the end , they're tiny mean, in the end, they're tiny amounts of money. i mean, you're too young to remember , but i'm too young to remember, but i'm thinking of that sort of neil kinnock speech when he was trying to push militant trying to push out militant tendency lot of tendency in liverpool. a lot of viewers and listeners will remember it and neil kinnock, then the labour leader , said then the labour leader, he said a labour council, a labour council itself council was paying itself millions of pounds, scuttling around in taxis and so on. there is some profligacy here, but it does really give the tory government and particularly michael gove a problem . michael gove a problem. >> yeah, well yeah, well it does in a sense of the money side of it but i suppose it of course, but i suppose maybe you could it of course, but i suppose maybethis you could it of course, but i suppose maybethis what/ou could it of course, but i suppose maybethis what happensi it of course, but i suppose maybethis what happens when argue this is what happens when you which a you get a labour council which a load saying now load of people are saying now the side of the adult social care side of things. got me going things. this has got me going a little here. birmingham little bit here. no birmingham relatively well. it's relatively well. you know, it's an diverse area, an incredibly diverse area, a huge levels of a lot of industry. >> west midlands is the heartland of our manufacturing . heartland of our manufacturing. it generates a lot of cash. it's not a poor area. >> no, it's not a poor area.

right. why has the adult social care side of things gone up so much? are we seeing what a lot of very unwell middle aged people ? people? >> it's demography. patrick it's what us economists call the replaced the dependent ratio, the dependency ratio is how many young people there are for retired people . so how many tax retired people. so how many tax payers working age people are putting money in the government's coffers come compared to the number of people who are not working either because they've retired or they're on benefits or whatever. and that dependency ratio has got heavier and heavier because we've got lots of people out of work. 5 million odd people on in—work benefits. much, much more than before the pandemic. and of course , we're a naturally and of course, we're a naturally ageing society . we the birth ageing society. we the birth rate is relatively low . the baby rate is relatively low. the baby boomers born after the war into the early or mid 50s, they're now all retiring or retired. you know , you have to pay out their

know, you have to pay out their state pension . so there's not state pension. so there's not much money around for social care and that's why there's such a controversy about how do you have to sell your family home to pay have to sell your family home to pay for your social care, or can you give your family home to your kids? >> i i don't right >> i don't i don't get right birmingham is a microcosm of a high immigration area. right? it's a microcosm of certain other parts of the uk. so i just don't understand , you know, if don't understand, you know, if mass immigration is going to be a really good thing for the economy and keep it all moving and help the growth on the spreadsheets and why spreadsheets and stuff. why birmingham so much birmingham is struggling so much because i just think it's the scale . scale. >> it is the biggest council , as >> it is the biggest council, as i said. i mean, you're right, it is an area of heavy immigration. it's a minority majority city as we say. interestingly, it's a city that voted for brexit that really swung the brexit referendum in 2016. why because a lot of asian people all, you know, in a way that the remain camp didn't predict. maybe they

should get out more. they were really angry because why is it that people from the european union could come here, no questions asked , but their questions asked, but their relatives couldn't come from india or wherever it is when they've been here working and paying they've been here working and paying tax often for a generation and more. look, go . generation and more. look, go. michael gove has to decide how he is going to handle this. is he is going to handle this. is he going to bail out birmingham? that really is what it comes to . it reminds me of when labour lost the election in 2010 and the then chief secretary to the treasury, liam byrne. no relation left a note for his incoming . tory contemporary and incoming. tory contemporary and he said i'm sorry there is no more money left. yeah this is labour's doing. but they will say it's because the central government hasn't given us enough money. but the tories now have to decide, look , the have to decide, look, the government, the market for government, the market for government debt, what we call the gilts market, has responded to this. there's international

concern. what is the british government going to do ? this is government going to do? this is the largest council by money in europe and it's basically saying we're almost bankrupt. >> well, yeah, exactly. that exactly that. liam, thank you very, very much. fantastic to kind of have that summary of britain's second really, britain's second city. really, i think got a lot to think this has got a lot more to a long to go. a heck of a a long way to go. a heck of a long to know you'll be long way to go. i know you'll be here for it. liam halligan there our business our economics and business editor the right editor with on the money right now news got an exclusive now gb news has got an exclusive interview member interview with a member of a group call themselves group that call themselves the ulez blade runners. they're vigilantes the ulez blade runners. they're vigi|bytes the ulez blade runners. they're vigi|by vandalising the ulez blade runners. they're vigi|by vandalising king the ulez blade runners. they're vigi|by vandalising king ulezie law by vandalising king ulez cameras . of course, we can't cameras. of course, we can't condone such behaviour . patrick condone such behaviour. patrick christys gb news business news

me, michael portillo gb news britain's new . channel britain's new. channel >> it has just gone 3:45. you are watching me patrick christys on gb news at 4:00 i will talk about the government's new policy that sees my channel migrants evicted from hotels seven days after they've been granted asylum and made homeless, which obviously doesn't solve the problem at all, confirm what we all, but does confirm what we all, but does confirm what we all already know, which is you can give a load of people asylum, we haven't got asylum, but we haven't got anywhere live, anywhere for them to live, so they streets. they just lie on the streets. it's should have it's almost like we should have seen coming, isn't it? but seen that coming, isn't it? but now, week i presented the now, last week i presented the show bromley to mark the show from bromley to mark the extension scheme extension of the ulez scheme to london's . i london's outer boroughs. i learnt then that a secretive group of around 100, known as the blade runners were vandalising the cameras in protest. terrible gb news has

spoken to one of them, lee, who whose identity apparently apart from his first name. we are protecting , says that he won't protecting, says that he won't stop the action until the scheme is scrapped. gb news would like to make it clear that it does not condone or encourage illegal behaviour. here's our south—east of england reporter ray allison with this exclusive report . with this exclusive report. >> this is what one man can do to the ulez in less than half a day . day. >> some call them vigilantes , >> some call them vigilantes, others criminals. they call themselves the ulez blade runners around 100 activists all using any means necessary to disable cameras , is taking the disable cameras, is taking the fight against the london mayor's clean air policy to the streets , as lee is part of a small group of saboteurs who go out most weeks speaking exclusive lee on camera to gb news. he says sadiq khan is targeting the city's most vulnerable to charge the poorest of people to drive around is unacceptable . around is unacceptable. >> sadiq khan talks about the fact that nine out of ten of cars are compliant. if nine

times if nine cars out of ten are compliant, who are the 1 in 10? the 1 in 10 are the poorest people , the ones who can't people, the ones who can't afford a compliant car , so afford a compliant car, so they're the ones you're charging. so therefore it's a tax the poor. it's that tax on the poor. it's that simple . simple. >> e“— >> but the mayor of london disputes that claim. >> but the mayor of london disputezdecision|im. >> but the mayor of london disputezdecision to. >> but the mayor of london disputezdecision to expand the >> the decision to expand the ultra low emission zone to all of london was a difficult one. it wasn't an easy one, but i think it's vital decision and it's the right one. let me tell you why we now know that the evidence in relation to the consequences of air pollution, at least around 4000 premature deaths a year , at least two deaths a year, at least two children have been stunted lungs forever for adults with a whole host of health issues from asthma to cancer , dementia to asthma to cancer, dementia to heart disease . we also now know heart disease. we also now know that one of the most effective ways to reduce air pollution is with how do we know that in with us. how do we know that in central london we've seen a reduction of around 50% of toxicity or nitrogen dioxide? also a third fewer children being admitted to hospital with

air pollution related illnesses. >> the blade runners are supported by an online community that maps the location of london's almost 2700 ulez cameras . the red london's almost 2700 ulez cameras. the red pins show working units . the black ones working units. the black ones have been disabled . have been disabled. >> i will normally go around on the groups to see posts or pictures of people that have put up with cameras, particularly the new ones. if they've just been put up near to where i live. and then yeah, i'll literally make a note of that, jot that down and then i'll arrange a date as to when i'll go out and i'll deal with that camera on that specific evening. >> according to the met crimes relating to ulez cameras rocketed by 77% in august, lee says he's personally disabled. more than 60 cameras in the last year. more than 60 cameras in the last year . he's more than 60 cameras in the last year. he's developed his own technique, which bypasses tfl's security measures in a matter of seconds . gb news security measures in a matter of seconds. gb news has security measures in a matter of seconds . gb news has decided not seconds. gb news has decided not to show footage of the way the cameras might be disabled to avoid the risk of copycats, it's

important to stress , of course, important to stress, of course, that you're doing is that what you're doing is illegal. do you consider yourself to be a criminal? >> i'm not. i'm not a criminal in any any way, shape or form. i'm you know, i'm just literally i'm you know, i'm just literally i'm doing what i believe is right. and i'll stand by that. and i'll sit on that hill until the time comes when i'm not. no longer allowed to. >> although tfl says the ulez expansion will bring health benefits to a further 5 million people living in greater london, lee questions that justification , saying this has nothing to do with air pollution. >> you know, we've seen videos, there's video evidence of people living in houses with black mould, mushrooms growing off the wall. so this notion that 4000 deaths a year from car pollution is utter nonsense. >> other groups would strongly disagree. leo murray is director of innovation at possible the climate action group. >> basically, about half of the air pollution, the stuff that's in the air that is dangerous to human health in out in the

environment, not inside our homes , is about half of that homes, is about half of that comes from motor traffic. >> so , you know, this is not in >> so, you know, this is not in dispute . dispute. >> this is extremely well understood science. >> meanwhile, lee is adamant that the blade runners will not stop their sabotage. >> there's enough of us, myself included , where we're not going included, where we're not going to give up. >> we're not going to give up until them cameras until either all them cameras are gone or and steve khan or the next mayor turns around and scraps us scraps. the idea completely. >> the transport for london spokesperson said the ulez is vital in tackling the triple challenge of air pollution. the climate emergency and congestion . vandalism on our network is unacceptable and all incidents are reported to the police for investigation . arson, criminal investigation. arson, criminal damage to ulez cameras puts the perpetrators at risk of prosecution and life changing injuries while simultaneously risking the safety of the public. risking the safety of the pubuc.the risking the safety of the public. the ulez is not about making money and annual net revenue from ulez will fall below zero by 20 2627 as

compliance increases . ray compliance increases. ray addison . gb news okay. addison. gb news okay. >> gb news would yet again like to make it explicitly clear that it does not condone or encourage illegal behaviour. but i do actually have some very big breaking news for you now . yes breaking news for you now. yes indeed. breaking news for you now. yes indeed . it's in relation to an indeed. it's in relation to an escaped prisoner , daniel abad escaped prisoner, daniel abad kalief, a 21 year old serving member of the british army who is awaiting trial for terror and official secrets act offences as escaped from wandsworth prison this morning. that's according to the metropolitan police . i'll to the metropolitan police. i'll read that to you one more time. let's keep his picture up there. that's daniel abad khalifa. he's 21 years old, serving member of the british army. he's awaiting trial terror and official trial for terror and official secrets offences. and has secrets act offences. and he has escaped from wandsworth prison this . that is according escaped from wandsworth prison thithe . that is according escaped from wandsworth prison thithe metropolitan is according escaped from wandsworth prison thithe metropolitan police rding escaped from wandsworth prison thithe metropolitan police .iing escaped from wandsworth prison thithe metropolitan police .just to the metropolitan police. just a little of background on a little bit of background on this particular he this particular chap. he is accused breaking the official accused of breaking the official secrets and acting against secrets act and acting against

white is outside new scotland yard for us. mark mark, how on earth has this happened? what's the manhunt like at the moment? >> well, it's a very significant manhunt as user, as you would imagine , as far as how the imagine, as far as how the escape happened. >> that information is not yet been formed coming from the metropolitan police. >> we are expecting to hear from a senior officer, perhaps in an hours a senior officer, perhaps in an hour's time or so. they may be in a position to shed a bit more light on what happened . but the light on what happened. but the information we have received through the metropolitan police so far is that at 750 this morning , this young man, a morning, this young man, a serving member of the british army who was on remand at wandsworth prison, managed to escape. now, we don't know if he was being moved anywhere , was being moved anywhere, whether he escaped from his prison cell or whether he was out the cell at that moment. we just don't know . as i say, those

just don't know. as i say, those questions will need to be answered. what the metropolia police are saying is that a team of dedicated officers from the counter—terror tourism command in conjunction , of course, with in conjunction, of course, with local borough officers in wandsworth , are involved in a wandsworth, are involved in a very detailed hunt for this young man . now, we're told by young man. now, we're told by the police that he has connections to the kingston area of london. now, kingston for those that don't know the geography of london is in south—west london, as in as is wandsworth. so it's possible the police say that he may still be in that area. it's also possible all and this would be much more of a problem for them than that he may have left the area . this he may have left the area. this is now quite a few hours ago and may have left that that area of london or indeed london altogether to travel to another for as yet unknown location . so

for as yet unknown location. so all of these factors will have to be considered by those detectives from the counter—terrorism command as the pieced together exactly what happened at just before 8 am. this morning and where this young man could be now . young man could be now. >> so look , he was last seen >> so look, he was last seen this is to according the police, wearing a white t shirt, red and white chequered trousers and brown steel toe cap boots. he's described as being around six foot two inches tall of slim build with short brown hair. i just want to reiterate as well, this is, again, to according the police, you are advised if you happen to see this individual to go nowhere near him and call 999 and quote, reference number c, a, d, i'll just read all of this out. cad . 163106 sep two three. out. cad. 163106 sep two three. so that's apparently the number for this guy . so that's apparently the number for this guy. some concern so that's apparently the number for this guy . some concern then, for this guy. some concern then, mark, that as we await more

information about the nature of this escape. exactly how he managed to do it. some concern that frankly, he could be anywhere now . anywhere now. >> well, that's certainly possible . we should also just possible. we should also just say that for our radio listeners , the police have issued a photograph of this escaped prisoner. that photograph is accessible, of course , on the gb accessible, of course, on the gb news website or on our social media app. so you can see the photograph of kalief. there with regard to where he could be. yeah, you're right. i mean, he could well have headed out of the area , but he may well also the area, but he may well also have gone to the area that he knows, which is kingston and the people and support networks that he knows in that area as well, thatis he knows in that area as well, that is quite often what happens with people who are fleeing justice is they go to areas and to people they know can help and support them. so that's one of

the reasons why, of course , the the reasons why, of course, the police certainly hope that he may still be in the kingston area, but it just depends , i area, but it just depends, i guess, on how organised this prison escape has been and whether if it was to organised a significant degree, arranged efforts have been made to move this man out of the london area and thereby make it, of course, much more difficult out for the authorities to try to trace him. now we should say with regard to the offences that charges that this man, this serve member of the british armed forces , is the british armed forces, is faces, though there are three charges that is due to go on trial in relation to those charges . those include the charges. those include the planting of a hoax bomb at an raf base . also charge is raf base. also charge is relating to the dissemination of information that might be of use to terrorist organisations and

also the release in december nafion also the release in december nation of other material all under the official secrets act. so three six nificant charges , so three six nificant charges, serious charges under the terrorist act and faces at a future day in court. but at the moment, of course, there is no chance of a trial while he is still on the run . and that is still on the run. and that is the first priority of the police , is the secondary to that. of course , is to determine exactly course, is to determine exactly what happened, how he managed to escape, because we should say that hmp wandsworth is a high security prison . it's like security prison. it's like belmarsh prison in south east london is one of the two main prisons where terrorist suspects andindeed prisons where terrorist suspects and indeed convicted terrorists are housed . and so some real are housed. and so some real questions has to be asked for from the authorities and the prison services at wandsworth.

given the very sensitive nature of this site and the individuals that are held at this prison, why this young man was able to escape . escape. >> look, i've got a statement here. commander dominic murphy, the head of the met's counter—terrorism command, has said we have a of said that we have a team of officers who are making extensive and urgent enquiries in order to locate and detain kalief as quickly as possible. however the public can help us as well and should anyone see kalief or have any information as to where he might be, then please call 9999 hmp wandsworth. as mark was saying, there is a category b men's prison at wandsworth in the london borough of wandsworth, south west london, where we understand that this individual does have some connections, he may, of course be anywhere right now , and that be anywhere right now, and that is also worth reiterating its operated by his majesty's prison service is one of the largest prisons in the uk, as mark was saying there. as well. this

chap, daniel abad kalief, is 21 years old. he's accused of breaking the official secrets act and acting against the safety and interests of the state by allegedly and all of this is alleged at the moment because he's on remand awaiting trial, collecting information, notes and documents which would be, quote, useful to the enemy. it is said that the soldier who was based at beacon barracks in beckham outside stafford, took soldier details from the mod personnel files , which would be, personnel files, which would be, quote, useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. there was also this issue of an alleged bomb hoax after allegedly leaving canisters with wires on a desk at the army lodgings on january the 2nd. earlier this year. that, of course, caused fear of an explosion. and he did appear at the old bailey in july of this year to deny by three criminal charges. and he was set to appear for trial on november the 13th at woolwich crown court

of course, now he has gone on the run . and mark, just to round the run. and mark, just to round things off with you here, really and we'll bring this individual's face back up. the pubuc individual's face back up. the public being urged not to approach this man potentially dangerous. and we are awaiting a further comment from the police as to exactly how this happened. but a man hunt is very much on the way on the go . the way on the go. >> yes, scotland yard saying that they have nothing in the way of information to suggest that he is a threat to the pubuc that he is a threat to the public except to say, of course, that he is a man facing some fairly serious terrorist charges and he has escaped from prison. and if he doesn't want to be recaptured, then obviously, potentially he could well be a threat to any member of the pubuc threat to any member of the public that tries to confront him. that's why the advice from scotland yard is if you see this

young man, kalief , then do not young man, kalief, then do not approach him. dial 999. right away. and there will be, of course, an immediate police response to that scene and terms of the investigation , what they of the investigation, what they will be doing as part of this counter—terrorism task force and their colleagues within south—west london is they will be looking at this young man, at his history at his family connections , at the other connections, at the other connections, at the other connections he has with friends and associates as well. so we heard that he has connections in kingston , in south—west london. kingston, in south—west london. so those police officers will, of course, be calling at i have no doubt the addresses of those connected to this young man, to those family members and to those family members and to those associates. they will be also looking at the likes of cctv around the prison to determine if they can where he

went , which determine if they can where he went, which direction he went in when in a vehicle where he went onto public transport. all of thatis onto public transport. all of that is a bit more slow time. it can take a bit of time to get all of the cctv and other related material all pooled and sifted through to get a direction of travel and an indication as to where this young man may have gone . there's young man may have gone. there's also, of course , all of the also, of course, all of the electronic cell site information that eventually down the road they might be able to get with regard to those that are connected , did to this connected, did to this individual as well. that's all slower time. the much more urgent investigation is immediately in the area surrounding the prison , in the surrounding the prison, in the area they know is connected to in kingston . and of course, if in kingston. and of course, if they can get an indication on as to, you know, any public transport, trains, tubes , buses, transport, trains, tubes, buses, taxis that he might have gone into, they can then, of course,

progress to those avenues of investigation as well. >> absolutely. look, mark, thank you very much. we're going to go back to mark very shortly. he's our home insecurity editor outside wide news, scotland yard. recap for you. yard. very quick recap for you. there a suspected terrorist there is a suspected terrorist on the loose at the moment. escaped from wandsworth prison. he is on remand at the moment awaiting trial. he denies the charges. okay. but daniel abu khalif, 21, is believed to have made a getaway this morning is last seen wearing a white t shirt. red and white chequered trousers, brown steel , toe cap trousers, brown steel, toe cap boots as well he described as being around six foot two inches tall of slim build with short brown hair. he is currently on the run and there is a massive manhunt underway . very shortly manhunt underway. very shortly i will be talking to a police officer, a former police officer, a former police officer, about what we can expect from this manhunt. right now, more on this information as we get it. but yeah, a serving member of the british army who's on remand facing trial for

terror secrets act, terror and official secrets act, offences is on run. patrick offences is on the run. patrick christys gb news, britain's

early this morning. the escape is believed to have taken place at about 10 to 8 this morning. the police have now issued a statement, i think it's worth recapping. well, that's obviously what he looks like. but what he was wearing as well, a white t shirt, red and white chequered trousers and brown steel toe cap boots he described as being around six foot two inches tall of slim build with short brown hair. now, the reason why this guy was in that prison is he's waiting on remand after pleading not guilty to three offences. that was in july. he was set to appear for trial on november the 13th at woolwich crown court. he's accused of breaking the official secrets act and acting against the safety and interests of the state by allegedly collecting information, notes and documents which will be useful to the enemy. he is also accused of providing information useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism and accused of a bomb hoax after allegedly

leaving three canisters with wires on a desk at his army lodgings in january the 2nd this yeah lodgings in january the 2nd this year. as it currently stands , we year. as it currently stands, we do not have any idea why or how this chap has managed to escape. also, is believed to have also, he is believed to have connections around the wandsworth area, around the kingston area, around south—east london. however, he could be anywhere at the moment, especially given there's quite a few hours time since escape and as well where we are at the moment anyway, the items of clothing that he is wearing again a white t shirt, red and white chequered trousers and brown steel cap boots possibly indicate that he was working in some kind of kitchen role, i think, at that prison. but i'm going to get the reaction now from former met police officer graham . graham, thank graham whetton. graham, thank you very, very much . we have an you very, very much. we have an escaped terror suspect at the moment and a massive manhunt underway . say how on earth do underway. say how on earth do you think this has happened?

the met based in wandsworth, and it like inner prison with the met based in wandsworth, and it like inner fences with the met based in wandsworth, and it like inner fences inith the met based in wandsworth, and it like inner fences in a| the met based in wandsworth, and it like inner fences in a in almost like inner fences in a in almost like inner fences in a in a in a courtyard et, etcetera. >> so it does suggest he was doing some sort of role that maybe gave him access to some of the some of the external parts of the prison without being outside walls itself i >> -- >> i'm reading here, it's a category b men's prison. it's also one the largest prisons also one of the largest prisons in uk . and from what you can in the uk. and from what you can say would expect, say there, as one would expect, it be quite difficult it would be quite difficult to get clearly not for this get out of. clearly not for this individual. kind thing individual. what kind of thing will place for the will be taking place for the manhunt moment? so manhunt at the moment? so presumably , we're looking presumably cctv, we're looking at whether or not he's i mean , at whether or not he's i mean, one his movements one would imagine his movements will quite limited because will be quite limited because i would thought wouldn't will be quite limited because i woul

span. so the time he was last seen, likely last location in and almost tracking from there onwards, i think i heard mark white mentioning our checking previous known addresses , previous known addresses, associates, etcetera . and just associates, etcetera. and just looking around the area, his description in his image will be going out to all serving police officers . it'll be on late term officers. it'll be on late term briefings . we'll be going out to briefings. we'll be going out to all the officers are all the officers that are currently possibly currently on duty, possibly a mobile unit like a territorial support group, the met's tsg. there's a unit that's on like 24/7 standby in london. they may well be deployed in the area to do literally doing searches, mobile searches in area street searches for him . searches for him. >> but again, it depends on time span involved and where he's likely to be, where he could have possibly gone to. >> but significant policing operation underway. yeah i'm hoping that you might be able to hear me properly. >> now, what does it imply to you ? the length of time it's you? the length of time it's taken to find this individual as yet, they still haven't found him. now i think we might have lost graham, have we? yeah. all

right. going to knock that right. we're going to knock that one head. that that's all one on the head. that that's all right. there, right. graham weston there, though. hopefully we can get that here's that sorted very quickly. here's a officer. a former met police officer. look, i'm just going to read the met statement. now. met police statement. now. they've released this statement says commander dominic murphy, who's head of the met's counter—terrorist this who's head of the met's cowhat —terrorist this who's head of the met's cowhat they've;t this who's head of the met's cowhat they've said this who's head of the met's cowhat they've said far this who's head of the met's cowhat they've said far , this who's head of the met's cowhat they've said far , ahis is what they've said so far, a team of officers who are making extensive and urgent enquiries in order locate and detain in to order locate and detain kalief as quickly as possible. however the public can help us as well . and should anyone seek as well. and should anyone seek as well. and should anyone seek a leave or have any information as to where he might be, then please call . 999 an now. as to where he might be, then please call. 999 an now. he's 21 years old and he is believed to have made his getaway just before 8 am. this morning. very concerning, of course , that we concerning, of course, that we are now approaching 4:30. and clearly there is no sign of him. huge manhunt underway. he huge police manhunt underway. he was based previously at beckenham barracks in barkingside in stafford. and this is important because he, of course, is a serving member of the british army . he was the british army. he was understood to have as well

attempted to gather information that could be used for more nefarious acts for acts of terrorism. he was also suspected and suspected to have done a bomb hoax and as well for a variety of other issues , issues variety of other issues, issues such as acting against the safety and interest of the state. mark, whilst our home and security editor has another breaking line for us from outside new scotland yard , mark yeah. >> sources now confirming to us that this young man, kalief man , managed to escape from wandsworth prison dressed in a chef's uniform, effectively a white top and red chequered trousers , brown steel talk up trousers, brown steel talk up boots and he clung to a food delivery vehicle that arrived at the prison as it left, he clung

to that vehicle and managed to escape that way. what we don't know at this stage is whether this is a man who had access to that uniform because he actually worked in the kitchens, which is perfectly possible as , of perfectly possible as, of course, these kitchens are often staffed by prisoners . a smart staffed by prisoners. a smart prison. it's also possible . mark prison. it's also possible. mark hello . scotland yard . hello. scotland yard. >> yeah. okay. all right . we'll >> yeah. okay. all right. we'll work to get mark white's feedback . mark white there, our feedback. mark white there, our home security editor. i think what mark white was saying there, we work get there, whilst we work to get him back does appear that back is that it does appear that this individual managed to escape dressed escape whilst dressed in a chef's uniform and clinging to the back of a food lorry. can we go back to mark now? i think we might be able to mark white outside new scotland yard for

emerging. a fast moving picture at . is understood at the moment. it is understood that this individual escaped whilst dressed as a chef underneath a food delivery lorry. think we should lorry. i think we should be deeply as nation deeply concerned as a nation that cannot contain terror that we cannot contain terror suspects prison . suspects within a prison. >> yeah, it's it is concerning. i mean, like graham who was on before, you know, i worked in wandsworth for many years and been inside that prison on many occasions as well. and it is a very, very secure prison . you very, very secure prison. you know, it does hold a lot of serious people on remand awaiting . awaiting trial. >> a bit of a shock >> and so it's a bit of a shock that this has happened . i think that this has happened. i think really, know, the i've really, you know, the i've worked in terrorism as well under dominic murphy, who's now head terrorism. i head of terrorism. and i can guarantee working guarantee they'll be working extremely probably extremely hard, probably with the services as well, the security services as well, to try and locate him as quickly as possible . as possible. >> but i suppose one of the other they'll be looking other things they'll be looking for is, this is this for is, is this is this pre—planned anybody else as pre—planned with anybody else as well? these are considerations that that they will want to explore very quickly. >> you know, is this an opportunist thing for him or has he, know, been

he, you know, has he been planning based on the planning this based on the repetition of vans and all that sort of thing working as sort of thing whilst working as a that's what he a chef, if indeed that's what he did ? did? >> e other thing, >> and also the other thing, patrick, to just i'd be thinking about is might out about now is we might find out from is that , from the police soon. is that, you behind him are you know, how far behind him are we. he may well have gone at we. so he may well have gone at 10 to 8 this morning, when we. so he may well have gone at 10 to 8 discovered 1g, when we. so he may well have gone at 10 to 8 discovered missing?1en was he discovered missing? because going to be because there's going to be there's going a time gap there's going to be a time gap there's going to be a time gap there well. there as well. >> absolutely. so many >> so, yeah, absolutely. so many unanswered >> so, yeah, absolutely. so many unanswerbut very, >> so, yeah, absolutely. so many unanswer but very, very solid moment, but all very, very solid points. and frankly , simon, if points. and frankly, simon, if this pre—planned and which this was pre—planned and which it may well have been , i mean, it may well have been, i mean, this guy serving member of the british we will british army, you know, we will have some training. have given him some training. you imagine would you would imagine he would have his clearly, he his wits about him. clearly, he did, because managed did, because he managed to get out. this was pre—planned. out. if this was pre—planned. and he has connections in the area, which we understand he does, how far could he have gone in? well of course, he could be anywhere. >> i mean, you know, if he's if we're trying to consider him as a clever person, he's not to going be so clever to go to somewhere where he's known to be associated , you know,

associated with, you know, as you kingston miles you say, kingston is a few miles down wandsworth down the road from wandsworth and other areas as well, that he's frequented in the past. >> but you know, if he's on the run and he wants to get away, then realistically, he's run and he wants to get away, the|to realistically, he's run and he wants to get away, the|to havezalistically, he's run and he wants to get away, the|to have somewhere 1e's to got to have somewhere safe to go.the got to have somewhere safe to go. the the, the counter—terrorism police will be, you know using everything in their armoury to try and find him as quickly as possible, using methods that, you know, sometimes we don't talk about in terms of things that they can do. course then finding do. and of course then finding anybody that is associated with him in the past is also important to understand that he's not with them. so this this will be a huge operation at the moment . moment. >> we'll be wondering how in this day and age we have been unable to apprehend this individual. the world of cctv and technology erg if he hasn't had help up, then he shouldn't have access to any finances. there are, as yet no reports of anyone being robbed for their possessions. that could be used to then transport him somewhere

else. for example, we've got no reports of a carjacking at the moment. we've got no reports of someone handbag someone having their handbag with stolen or with a credit card stolen or a mobile phone stolen so we could use pay or whatever . that use apple pay or whatever. that hasn't the minute. so hasn't emerged at the minute. so if hasn't had help, there is if he hasn't had help, there is a is just hiding a chance that he is just hiding somewhere presumably he i >> -- >> well, i think m >> well, i think i think to be fair, patrick, you know, if i was running, i wouldn't be telling you that someone's been robbed or had their stolen robbed or had their car stolen because, to robbed or had their car stolen be

you know, and people that visited are searched and all that happened. that sort of thing happened. so they'll that they'll be looking at those that have past, have visited him in the past, you know, and obviously more recently , these are all sort of recently, these are all sort of enquiries. but, know, to enquiries. but, you know, to just heard just say we haven't heard i mean, know, you wouldn't just say we haven't heard i mea that know, you wouldn't just say we haven't heard i mea that someone'sj wouldn't just say we haven't heard i mea that someone's had uldn't just say we haven't heard i mea that someone's had their: told that someone's had their car at car robbed from you at the moment. know, would be moment. you know, this would be something that police will moment. you know, this would be sormonitoringt police will moment. you know, this would be sormonitoringt verye will moment. you know, this would be sormonitoringt very closely be monitoring very, very closely locally and in the locally and, and in the counter—terrorism command at the moment counter—terrorism command at the mo look . absolutely. and there >> look. absolutely. and there will be hopefully a statement within about half an hour or or so from the met police, counter—terrorism, police, etcetera . and we will know etcetera. and we will know a little bit more. look simon, thank you very much. do you appreciate coming on. is appreciate you coming on. is simon now, a simon harding now, who's a former metropolitan police officer . a lot of speculation at officer. a lot of speculation at the minute, one would expect. the minute, as one would expect. i really key i think he raises a really key point, did we point, which is when did we realise this who is realise that this chap who is suspected terror offences suspected of terror offences and official offences , official secrets act offences, when did we realise he went missing? was pre—planned? missing? was this pre—planned? has he help on the outside has he had help on the outside and the is and frankly, where the heck is he? now by he? but i'm joined now by security intelligence expert security and intelligence expert from of from the university of buckingham, glees. buckingham, anthony glees. anthony, .

anthony, thank you very much. great on the show. great to have you on the show. this absolutely shocking. at great to have you on the show. thismoment,jtely shocking. at great to have you on the show. thismoment, we've hocking. at great to have you on the show. thismoment, we've got:ing. at the moment, we've got a suspected the suspected terrorist on the loose. where he is. how loose. no idea where he is. how will him ? will they find him? >> well, it depends . >> well, it depends. >> well, it depends. >> as your previous speaker, simon hardy , so rightly said, we simon hardy, so rightly said, we don't exactly know when he scarpered. now >> now, you know, wandsworth, it's not a maximum security prison, but it should be a very secure area idea. >> that means this does look like a pre—planned planned heist by associates on the outside side and on the inside. perhaps to get him out of prison. it's a cunous to get him out of prison. it's a curious case because this guy is not only wanted on islam most terrorist offences, he's also wanted on official secrets act offensive and he was working at the beacon barracks, which is a prime intelligence signals intelligence site in in stafford intelligence site in in stafford in the midlands. probably the

most important signals intelligence site in stafford. so he knows a lot of things he's done a lot of things he would be an asset to an enemy, any enemy of the uk. and my guess is that if he got out early enough without people knowing, he may already have left the united kingdom, that is a possibility. how could that have happened? >> just just talk to me about that, because that is fascinating information about the nature the work that he fascinating information about the doing the work that he fascinating information about the doing whilst work that he fascinating information about the doing whilst he rk that he fascinating information about the doing whilst he rk trin he fascinating information about the doing whilst he rk trin the was doing whilst he was in the army. you think he would be an asset to an outside agency. how could he have left the country, though, with no passport? >> well , you know, you say no passport. >> these things can easily be forged. unfortunately and if you ask yourself , what would you do, ask yourself, what would you do, patrick, if you were in his position ? an it would be to get position? an it would be to get out of the uk as quickly as possible . well, you know, we've

possible. well, you know, we've seen other people in recent days go off to pakistan , for example, go off to pakistan, for example, just getting out of the country. so if you're in london, then to get from wherever you are in london, be it north london, south london, wherever , to get south london, wherever, to get to a major international airport, that's a couple of hours at most . you've got a fake hours at most. you've got a fake passport. you could be out of the uk by now. let's hope he isn't . let's hope he's brought isn't. let's hope he's brought back. he's obviously a dangerous man and an accused also of bomb hoaxes and so forth. but but for me , it is his specialist me, it is his specialist knowledge as a member of his majesty's army . that would, majesty's army. that would, would would worry me a great deal would would worry me a great deal. and the question will be raised as to why he was in wandsworth , exactly why he was wandsworth, exactly why he was not in a place like belmarsh. >> exactly. no exact that. that is a really, really vital question. why the heck was this guy even in that prison? worth reiterate thing that he was due in crown court on the 13th of

november? he denies all the charges against him. i want to reiterate that he denies all the charges against him. he is accused of breaking the official secrets acting against secrets act and acting against the, quote, and interests the, quote, safety and interests of the state by collecting information, notes and documents which he would able to sorry, which he would be able to sorry, which he would be able to sorry, which would be able to be useful to the enemy . that's the to the enemy. that's the allegation. there's also a bomb hoax allegation well. very hoax allegation as well. very quickly, anthony, final one with you. just reiterate to us this beacon beacon side beacon barracks in beacon side in stafford. what is that? what kind of information would this guy to them ? >> well, 7 >> well, what ? >> well, what he will know about is how we gather in intelligence, signals intelligence. so that's electronic intelligence . and he electronic intelligence. and he he will also know how we communicate electronically with others. and our forces worldwide effective is that he will have access to very sensitive material. that's the problem.

and that will cause ructions and not just in counter—terrorist commands . we've heard not just commands. we've heard not just in mi5 commands. we've heard not just in m15 security service who meant to keep our national secrets safe , but in the secrets safe, but in the barracks where he worked, you know, a personal, attractive face. young man, able to get out and about if he moves fast enough, that's a menace . enough, that's a menace. >> yeah. anthony thank you very much. anthony glees there who is a security and intelligence expert from the university of buckingham. i to reiterate buckingham. i want to reiterate that have said not that the police have said do not approach individual . if you approach that individual. if you do then call 999 at do see him, then call 999 at some point soon, no doubt we will also bring his mugshot up on the screen for you so you can recognise him if you see him recognise him if you do see him out about . now let's speak out and about. now let's speak to governor and to retired prison governor and author frank. vanessa author vanessa frank. vanessa thank you very have you on the show. how well it's going to say how on earth is this guy got out as we understand it, he was dressed as a chef got out dressed as a chef and got out underneath delivery van. underneath a food delivery van. and this will be a massive

concern to ordinary members of the public who would expect people suspected of terror offences or indeed any offence to be kept firmly locked within prison. what do you make of what we know so far? well hi, patrick. >> thanks for having me on. >> thanks for having me on. >> i do wonder whether this was pre—planned because it would be very difficult to do it on sort of as an opportunist . it i think of as an opportunist. it i think i think he would have had to have known the times of the deliveries because the food lorries are delivered on to a jail at a regular time. so i would suspect that he's planned this either by himself or with with help either inside or outside . um, concerning for the outside. um, concerning for the prison will be how easy it was for him to get out. we don't know at this stage as to when he was actually spotted during the day. there are checks done on prisoners at certain times . so

prisoners at certain times. so he will if he's gone at 750, my thoughts are that he actually did indeed work in the kitchen as he was unlocked and he was in the kitchen area because the rest of the jail usually doesn't get unlocked till around 8:00. so so he's done it at a very early when there's the majority of the staff, the majority of prisoners are locked up. the staff are just coming on to duty . so it's a i think it was a pretty much a pre—planned and escape. okay >> all right. and the big concern, again, is how far behind this guy we are. and that will be dictated by how long it took us to realise that he was missing. vanessa, idea about missing. vanessa, any idea about how long that could have been ? how long that could have been? >> um, well , how long that could have been? >> um, well, it depends. >> um, well, it depends. >> it depends whether as part of one's security measures , um, the one's security measures, um, the kitchen, as they were taking them back to the wings for lunch, did a role check or indeed that there was a role check earlier in the day or he was just missed?

>> i mean, you know, a full investigation will be launched within the prison. you can bet your bottom dollar on that one. and things like that will will will come out for sure . will come out for sure. >> yeah, i'm in fact, i'm just getting some information through to me here right now that apparently are lengthy apparently there are lengthy queues and extra security at gatwick airport now as a result of this prison escape. clearly, again , an additional concern again, an additional concern that he may well have tried to flee the country if they think that there's a chance that he's trying flee country , that trying to flee the country, that would that they would imply to me that they believe might have got believe that he might have got hands a passport, which believe that he might have got hands would assport, which believe that he might have got hands would assporthatiich believe that he might have got hands would assporthat maybe believe that he might have got handsis/ould assporthat maybe believe that he might have got handsis/ouldekindrthat maybe believe that he might have got handsis/ould ekindrthoutsideye there is some kind of outside help here kind of help here and some kind of concerted vanessa i'll concerted efforts. vanessa i'll just ask you again. i mean, this is going to be a big concern, obviously, for anybody who is worried about the conditions in prison ability prison and the ability for people escape . i mean, have people to escape. i mean, have you ever seen anything like this in your time? >> um, unfortunately, it >> um, well, unfortunately, it does happen, thankfully not. it is very rare for prisoners to actually escape from prison. i think since 2017, i think we've

had five escapes in total. and since 2010, i think it's been less than 20. so it is a rare occurrence. prisons in general are very secure. um, it just appears at this time that this prisoner has has beaten and beaten the checks that were in place. so obviously any investigation will go into all of that. and if there's anything in general, the whole prison estate can do to further shore up prisons . up prisons. >> yeah, absolutely. vanessa, thank you very much for your insight into what will be going on and what we think might have happened actually at wandsworth prison. vanessa freight there is a retired prison governor and an author and referring there to, it would seem , from what we know it would seem, from what we know so far, that this is daniel abad kalief, 21 years old. he is a former member of the british army. he's escaped from wandsworth prison. he's facing trial. he denies the charges. facing trial for terror and

official secrets act offences. these include a bomb hoax . i these include a bomb hoax. i think the more concerning things are, he is believed to have gathered information at this site where he was based, which is beacon barracks in beaconsfield, in stafford , which beaconsfield, in stafford, which is a key intelligence hub for the british armed forces. he was believed collected believed to have collected information there that be information there that could be very for an enemy of this very useful for an enemy of this state. he has gone it looks as though maybe this was a pre—planned escape from the kitchen underneath a food delivery truck. a huge manhunt is on the way. we are expecting to have a statement from outside new scotland yard, from the metropolitan police, and potentially the counter—terrorism police as well . so possibly within the next few moments , obviously, as we few moments, obviously, as we get that, we will bring that to you but it stands, as you live. but as it stands, as a suspected terrorist has escaped from prison and is on the loose in britain, patrick christys gb news, britain's news channel. >> the temperature's rising in boxt solar proud sponsors of

10 to 8 this morning. it is said that he was dressed as a chef, clinging to the underneath a clinging to the underneath of a delivery van. i am going to go straight away now to our home security editor mark white is outside new scotland yard for the very latest on this. mark >> well, patrick, i've just been speaking to commander dominic murphy, who is head of counter—terrorism command here at scotland yard and the man who is leading what he said was a nationwide manhunt in search of this escaped prisoner. this is what he told me just a few minutes ago . commander murphy, minutes ago. commander murphy, tell us, if you would , what tell us, if you would, what exactly happened this morning at 715? so around 750 this morning, daniel kalief , who is a man who daniel kalief, who is a man who was on remand following a counter—terrorism investigation , escaped from wandsworth prison and is currently at large somewhere in the uk . and in somewhere in the uk. and in terms of how he escaped , we're terms of how he escaped, we're told that he was wearing chef's

paraphernalia, chef's uniform , paraphernalia, chef's uniform, and that he may have clung to the underside of a food delivery truck. do you know that to be the case? well i can say that he was, yes, wearing chequered red and white trousers and a white t shirt and brown boots when he escaped from prison . escaped from prison. >> as to how he escaped, that's entirely a matter for the prison service. clearly, it will form part our investigation. part of our investigation. that's the prison that's a matter for the prison service. you know this that's a matter for the prison serviceman you know this that's a matter for the prison serviceman was know this that's a matter for the prison serviceman was actually:his that's a matter for the prison serviceman was actually someone young man was actually someone who worked within the kitchens ? who worked within the kitchens? >> well, we some >> well, we have some information that we're working with very closely to with the prison very closely to understand all of his movements within prison. understand all of his movements witibut, prison. understand all of his movements witibut, yes, ison. understand all of his movements witibut, yes, the. understand all of his movements witibut, yes, the description of >> but, yes, the description of his clothing would suggest that he was, the time working in he was, at the time working in the kitchens. he was, at the time working in the kithus|s. he was, at the time working in the kithus about nature of >> tell us about the nature of the underway now i >> k have officers and staff >> so we have officers and staff from london from across london and counter—terrorism policing. so across country , as is across the country, as is normally the case in in these matters, we have published the details of daniel kalief to officer colleagues around the country and borders colleagues as well. our intention here is to try and find him as quick as

possible. very possible. i believe very strongly that he presents a low risk to the public, but nonetheless , he's an individual nonetheless, he's an individual who was on remand and should be in we're doing in custody. and we're doing everything to try and everything we can to try and find quick as possible. find him as quick as possible. >> mean, he is a terror >> i mean, he is a terror suspect facing a court case at some on terrorism charges. some point on terrorism charges. he may be clearly, he's determined to get away from that point of view . anyway, there's point of view. anyway, there's clearly a potential risk to the public. >> we think that that risk is very low. and i'm confident having been part of the investigation, that originally investigated daniel kalief, that that risk is very to that risk is very low to the public. as you'll know, it's public. but as you'll know, it's an ongoing investigation . so an ongoing investigation. so it's difficult for to it's very difficult for me to talk about details of the charges daniel kalief was charges that daniel kalief was on because he's yet on remand for because he's yet to stand trial for those for those charges. to stand trial for those for tho and|arges. to stand trial for those for tho and do |es. to stand trial for those for tho and do you believe that he is >> and do you believe that he is still in the local area or could he be further afield now? >> well, we are focusing our search for him in the london area where he connections to london. >> but we are also working with colleagues around the country to

try and locate him in other locations. >> he has been linked to the north—west country in the north—west of the country in the past. working with past. so we're working with others to and find him others to try and find him wherever be. wherever he may be. >> it's early stages , but >> i know it's early stages, but from what you've been able to assess so far , does this look assess so far, does this look like an organised attempt in which there may have been others who helped this individual or an opportunist escape? >> well, as you say, it's very early stages. >> in order for to us think about things like that. and those are really matters the those are really matters for the prison we will, of prison service. we will, of course, be working with them very closely as part of our investigation. those are investigation. but those are questions probably the questions probably for the future, prison service. future, for the prison service. right now, my focus is on asking future, for the prison service. ringublic my focus is on asking future, for the prison service. ringublic and focus is on asking future, for the prison service. ringublic and ultimately asking future, for the prison service. ringublic and ultimately this ng the public and ultimately this is the public that's going to help him to ring 999 and help us find him to ring 999 and come back to us with as much information possible. information as possible. and we'll officers and try we'll deploy officers and try and daniel kalief as and locate daniel kalief as quick possible. quick as possible. >> appreciate you talking >> and we appreciate you talking to us. we know it's the early stages but just stages and all, but just finally, on that point in terms of the operation to find him, thatis of the operation to find him, that is going to involve what? to ensure that he doesn't get

out of the country? >> well, it was as i mentioned to you earlier, we have sent his details around the whole country. we've country. so we've put notifications all forces in notifications to all forces in the uk and of course, we've we've been working with borders colleagues and borders policing, but the immigration service but also the immigration service to out how we can have to work out how we can have additional checks at border additional checks at the border to understand of him to understand the risk of him leaving the country. but clearly we need to balance those checks with the impact on the public. but that's a matter for those colleagues working in but that's a matter for those collborder working in but that's a matter for those collborder today working in but that's a matter for those collborder today . working in but that's a matter for those collborder today . that'sing in the border today. that's a pretty good. >> so, commander dominic murphy confirming to me there that this is effectively a nationwide manhunt. they are concentrating , of course, some or a lot of their resources in the london area because that's where he was last seen outside wandsworth prison. and he has connections to kingston, which is also in south—west london, but also some points of interest coming out in that interview from the

commander confirming that this young man also has connections to the north—west of england. so enquiries being made there and in addition to that, to ensure that there's no way that this individual can leave the country a very significant up stepping of the security protocols around all the main exit points out of the country to your airports and your ferry ports to ensure that this escaped prisoner doesn't exit the uk via that way . also, exit the uk via that way. also, i think what was interesting from the interview with the commander was the confirmation of the news that we brought to you that he was indeed wearing a chef's uniform from when he escaped and confirmation. it seems the information that the commander has , having spoken to commander has, having spoken to the prison services is, is that he was working in the kitchen itself so that explains, of course, how he managed to get

access to a prison uniform. what the senior officer was unable really to confirm . for me at really to confirm. for me at this stage was the information we brought to you that he was clinging to a delivery truck. perhaps the underside of that delivery truck that he's not willing to share with us at this particular stage. the other, i think , point of note from that think, point of note from that interview was the calculus lesson from commander murphy that as far as this escaped prisoner is concerned, they believe that although he, of course, is facing terrorism charges , that he did escape from charges, that he did escape from prison, they don't believe that he poses a significant threat to members of the public having said that, members of the public are being told not to approach him. but not to dial 999. >> yeah, ma , thank you very, >> yeah, ma, thank you very, very much. it's mark white there, our home security editor outside new scotland yard,

talking to police officer there who is bringing us up to date. i mean, clearly , they've got no mean, clearly, they've got no idea where this guy is. i mean, that was what i gleaned from that. very and that. it's all very well and good that low risk good saying that he's a low risk to the public. fine. that is reassuring. is reassuring. however, he is wanted of terror reassuring. however, he is wan'official of terror reassuring. however, he is wan'official secrets of terror and official secrets act offences . he's pled not guilty offences. he's pled not guilty to those offences . he was due to those offences. he was due in crown court november the crown court on november the 13th. he has absconded 13th. he has now absconded dressed as chef in the dressed as a chef in the underside , we believe, of a food underside, we believe, of a food delivery lorry. so clearly it would appear like he's a man with nothing to lose. and again, they're saying that think they're saying that they think that it's a nationwide search. the there is that he's the update there is that he's got connections in the north—west clearly, north—west of england. clearly, they is at they do not know where he is at all. airports are on alert. they do not know where he is at all. airports are on alert . we all. airports are on alert. we can now have more reaction from former police detective former met police detective chief inspector mike neville, who mike, forgive me, who joins us. mike, forgive me, but this sounds like an absolute shambles. >> well, it is an absolute shambles in it when people can escape from a category b prison and somebody who's on remand for terrorist offences . the terrorist offences. the questions to be asked, i suppose

, are one, where is he ? , are one, where is he? >> but secondly, did he receive any inside help and is the people on the outside who are helping him ? helping him? >> is this a is this a daring sort of chance escape where he's just seeing the opportunity , or just seeing the opportunity, or is there some corruption in the prison and he's been assisted in his escape? these are things that will be looking at. but the current thing is they'll be looking at all the intelligence , all the people he's been associating with outside and inside and trying to inside prison and trying to locate premises to raid them as soon as possible to get him back i >> -- >> the m >> the security and intelligence expert earlier on, he told me a bit about this guy, a former member of the royal signals. he was based beacon in was based at beacon barracks in barkingside in stafford. now, this key intelligence hub, this is a key intelligence hub, apparently, one of the apparently, and one of the reasons arrested on reasons why he was arrested on suspicion of official secrets act and gathered act offences and gathered information that could be used for our enemies and for basically our enemies and also a suspected terror offence. he knows a lot of stuff. right. okay. so this is why he's a kind

of high value asset target. that chap raised the point to me that he would be tremendous asset he would be a tremendous asset for , as i also for foreign actors, as i also spoke to a former prison governor who was telling me that, you know, look, it looks as though this is some kind of concerted effort to this concerted effort to get this individual out. potential for corruption. definitely corruption. now, definitely potential for outside help, which is why he could be anywhere. what kind of resources will the police be using right now to get hold this guy ? now to get hold of this guy? >> well , as as now to get hold of this guy? >> well, as as the commander has said that there's an old ports message gone out to stop him trying to leave the country , his trying to leave the country, his passport will be marked. >> you've got facial recognition systems at the airports and at some ports. >> there are also facial recognition systems in various shopping centres and cctv could be used in that sense. there's also like i say, the key thing is intelligence here. >> where will he be? and who's going to find him? >> but i've got to say that he was a i think, a private soldier or a lance corporal in the royal

signals regiment. so whilst he is as you know, he was a serving member of the forces, his access to sensitive data and secrets right now when he's got no access to computers and the like but would be limited. so but as you say who is he linked with? >> which terrorist groups would are trying to help him? >> we don't know at that at the moment. so the real thing for me is to look into his background, who he's who he knows, who he associates with , which groups associates with, which groups he's known to inside and outside prison, and full research on those subjects . those subjects. >> indeed. i mean , the public, i >> indeed. i mean, the public, i think, have been told not to approach this individual. if they do see him, they'll call 999 immediately and try to get this guy lifted again. we heard that that they say he's a low risk to the public. i mean, do you buy that as well? >> well , i you buy that as well? >> well, i think the risk factor, they're looking at is, is he going to commit some other terrorist attack? so the risk

with that, he he placed fake bombs and stole a sensitive information. >> so i think they're talking about the risk of him committing some kind of atrocity. >> but the risk of him attacking somebody is obviously high because he's a determined individual who's broken out of prison . prison. >> he's young and fit. he's six foot so unless you're going foot two. so unless you're going to unless you're a sort of rugby player who can take people down, then he's to going be a difficult man to grab hold of and and keep hold of. and keep and keep hold of. >> so with that determined sort of individual, i think they're right to say that if you do see him, you ring 999. >> i think the risk they're talking about at low is the terrorist business and the risk are high is the fact he could give somebody a good hiding if they try if they try and hold on to him. >> yeah. i mean, the concern is how far ahead of police is he? you know, how long did it take for us to realise that gone for us to realise that he'd gone missing? and we don't know the answer to these questions yet. and unfortunate. mark, and that is unfortunate. mark, a bigger lot of people and that is unfortunate. mark, a biggasking lot of people and that is unfortunate. mark, a biggasking this lot of people and that is unfortunate. mark, a biggasking this in of people and that is unfortunate. mark, a biggasking this in of jinboxe are asking me this in the inbox at the moment.

vaiews@gbnews.com. guy vaiews@gbnews.com. is this guy was at time a serving member was at the time a serving member of armed forces. was wanted of our armed forces. was wanted at least for one suspected terror offence. i'll just reiterate again, he denies all the charges. he has, of course gone on the run now, but he's denied on denied all the charges. why on earth was he in wandsworth pfison? earth was he in wandsworth prison? what do you know about that prison and thinking that prison and people thinking he on kind he should have been on some kind of belmarsh of military base or in belmarsh or somewhere? >> well he was charged >> right. well he was charged with military with when you're in the military, you're charged with very serious crimes. >> it's dealt with in a civilian manner, with the if you tried by sort of a court martial, there's only if your sentence to something you'll given a long something you'll be given a long if you're given a longer than a sort months or a year, sort of six months or a year, you'll the you'll be dismissed from the army go to a civilian army and you'll go to a civilian prison. >> he was charged by civilian police and that's why he's in a civilian prison and not in in an army barracks. and the army barracks, really, the guard rooms are only for short term detention . an and there's one detention. an and there's one army prison at colchester, which is really used for soldiers who are being really irritated and

brought into the army. so brought back into the army. so that's why he's in a civilian prison. i don't understand why he's only in a category b prison, which is wandsworth and not a cat, given he he's been charged with terrorist offences is but that would have been a factor that discussed risk factor that discussed risk factor . but they've obviously factor. but they've obviously made a mistake here because he obviously needed higher security and who's who's helping. that's the big thing for me is the bent prison officers. is there somebody on the inside and who on the outside is assisting him right now ? right now? >> look, mike, thank you very, very much . loads of unanswered very much. loads of unanswered questions. we are hoping to get more updates from counter—terrorism police and the met police in the coming minutes . is . mike neville there, who is a former met police detective, chief inspector . again, you chief inspector. again, you know, just having a zooming out and a bigger picture look and taking a bigger picture look at this is we have had an individual kill, a serving member of our armed forces wanted or charged with a terror offence and official secrets act

offence. who was allowed into a category b prison , it appears category b prison, it appears anyway , they allowed access to anyway, they allowed access to the kitchen was dressed as a chef when he escaped . chef when he escaped. potentially has been given some kind of outside help here, maybe some internal help as well and has been on the run since 10 to 8 this morning. has been on the run since 10 to 8 this morning . police don't 8 this morning. police don't appear to have any idea where he is. our airports and our borders and our ports are on high alert for him. connections in the north—west, connections around the london area and nothing else doing at the moment. so there we 90, doing at the moment. so there we go, gb views a gbnews.com. we will bring you more updates as i suspected, terrorist remains at large around the uk. loads more on this story on our website. gbnews.com. it's the fastest growing national news website on the country. it's got all the best analysis , big opinion best analysis, big opinion on the breaking if you the latest breaking news. if you are us on tv or on are watching us on tv or on youtube or on media, youtube or on social media, i want to remind that you can want to remind you that you can get us, course, on radio as get us, of course, on radio as well, so can with us well, so you can take us with us everywhere . so i'm everywhere you go. so i'm patrick christys on gb news.

more updates on this ongoing breaking news story. a suspected terrorist on the loose in britain come back .

news. the people's channel. britain's news . news. the people's channel. britain's news. channel >> a reminder of today's huge breaking news. daniel radcliffe is a 21 year old serving member of the british army who is

awaiting trial for terror and official secrets offences official secrets act. offences and he has escaped and is currently run from currently on the run from wandsworth this morning wandsworth prison. this morning it is said that he was dressed and not joking now chef and i'm not joking now as a chef clinging to underneath of a clinging to the underneath of a delivery will have lots delivery van, we will have lots more on that story. what is obvious at the moment, having just spoken to mark white, our homeland security outside homeland security editor outside new scotland yard, his new scotland yard, and his interview looking at interview with a man looking at this case is that they do not know where he is. connections to london, connections to the north—west, all of ports and north—west, all of our ports and our airports on high alert. but we will have more on that story in just a few minutes time as and when we get it. but i want to bring another key story to your attention now, and that is that country, of as that the country, of course, as we spending more than we know, is spending more than £6 on for £6 million a day on hotels for migrants. that migrants. now, one way that the government that government is trying to cut that mammoth by evicting mammoth bill is by evicting people seven days after they've been asylum . and this, been granted asylum. and this, mark words, will be an mark my words, will be an absolutely huge story because more than 140 refugee groups have written to senior ministers

suella braverman and michael gove to say that this policy is causing severe hardship for refugees. look at the moment we have human rights groups and charities and lawyers queuing up to in my view, act as an extension to the human trafficking industry. allow these people into britain and say we will do everything we can to keep you here. what they are not these people is that not telling these people is that once you get refugee or asylum status , you will nowhere to status, you will have nowhere to live. and that is what we are now being confronted by. i'm joined by mark howarth, who is a reform uk candidate. mark, thank you very much for joining me reform uk candidate. mark, thank you very much forjoining me on you very much for joining me on this . you very much for joining me on this. there's only there's only one solution. if we don't want homeless refugees and asylum seekers , and that is to build seekers, and that is to build houses specifically for them. and i would argue that isn't a solution. so what on earth is going to happen? >> well, that isn't a solution at all. >> the problem is that we need to stop them at source from coming in. know, we coming in. you know, what we need is we need to declare

need to do is we need to declare a national emergency because it is an emergency. thousands of people coming every week at people are coming every week at the moment. we don't know who they are. we don't know where they're from. they get rid of their id they're coming by their id and they're coming by their id and they're coming by their thousands. this is their thousands. and this is just not acceptable. and so this sort of work that's going on with the home office strikes me as a little bit, look, we're going to try and act a little bit tough here, but actually, they're not actually acting tough at all. >> this this natural >> this is this is the natural culmination. so what we are culmination. okay so what we are seeing and we should now be going to calais, in my view , and going to calais, in my view, and as a matter of urgency and explaining to people on the other side of the channel that you may well be able to pay somebody thousands of pounds to get to britain. you may well be able get advice from a very able to get advice from a very lovely fluffy refugee charity and may well be able to get and you may well be able to get free legal help as well. and you may able to get asylum may well be able to get asylum status or refugee status , but status or refugee status, but you will not have anywhere to

live because we don't have the houses. and this is the thing that care for calais and other groups like that conveniently ignore when they are helping people come across the channel >> exactly . and so they >> yeah, exactly. and so they they conveniently ignore it. and then in that case, then what then in that case, then what then happens is they come across and it costing us, as you and then it costing us, as you said earlier on, £6 million every day to sort of keep these people and, you know, some of them are genuine asylum seekers, but the vast majority of them aren't. there are economic migrants. they decided that this is where they want to come 87% of them are male sort of under the age of sort of 40. so they're kind of military age and it's just not acceptable . and so it's just not acceptable. and so why isn't anybody i mean, rishi sunakis why isn't anybody i mean, rishi sunak is just a joke really , sunak is just a joke really, isn't he? i mean, he talks about stopping the boat. he hasn't stopped the boats . it was one of stopped the boats. it was one of his main prime cities and he's failed abjectly. i mean, he's saying fails at everything he tries to do . tries to do. >> he's he's saying at the

moment that the crossings are down. clearly, they've not actually stopped. and that is a key thing i put to you, key thing. i do put it to you, though, that what do we though, mark, that what do we actually do with people who are now being turfed out of hotels? what do we do? so that's the reality. we can sit here and say we should be warning people coming across the channel that we can't house them. we can sit here and say that it's a disgrace that this happening. disgrace that this is happening. we can slate of the we can slate some of the charities human rights charities and human rights organisations. we can do whatever we but fact whatever we want. but the fact is are currently being is we are currently being confronted by and will be confronted by and will be confronted by and will be confronted by tens of thousands of homeless refugees and asylum seekers who have been granted refuge and asylum status. so what do we do ? what do we do? >> well, to be to be honest, patrick, i honestly don't know what you do because the thing is they're all coming over. they've actually you know, these people have been granted refugee status and if they've been granted refugee status , when in actual refugee status, when in actual fact they probably should be found to live. but found somewhere to live. but what annoys me and i know

what really annoys me and i know this annoys the vast this really annoys the vast majority british public, majority of the british public, is the fact that these people are priority over british are given priority over british homeless people . how many homeless people. how many british homeless people get put up in four star, five star hotels? you know, just for pitching up at dover and they've made such a mess of this . it is made such a mess of this. it is staggering. it is absolutely staggering. it is absolutely staggering . the mess that sunak staggering. the mess that sunak and the rest. and don't get me wrong , labour won't be any wrong, labour won't be any better. you know? i mean, they'll probably be worse , but they'll probably be worse, but they've made such a mess of this whole thing. so the, the ultimate answer that i'm going to give you is i don't know what you do with and this is, but this is this is the reality because in the first place. >> yeah, exactly. look, mark, thank mark, there thank you very much. mark, there is candidate. this is a reform uk candidate. this story be absolutely story is going to be absolutely huge months huge in the coming weeks, months and well, and possibly years as well, which of the which is that on account of the fact do not have enough fact that we do not have enough houses all of those people who are coming across here who will be granted refugee and asylum seeker ultimately be

seeker status will ultimately be told you're going to have to leave your hotels and they are being that they're being told that and they're given and given about seven days. and then the aren't the homeless. so why aren't the charities telling them i charities telling them that? i mean, is argument to mean, there is an argument to say this would act as a deterrent if they were say this would act as a dete that, if they were say this would act as a dete that, yes, if they were say this would act as a dete that, yes, can hey were say this would act as a dete that, yes, can become told that, yes, you can become an here, you an asylum seeker here, but you will up on the streets. will an end up on the streets. fine. there's that side of fine. okay. there's that side of things. but what do? things. but what do we do? because we're to end up because we're going to end up having to build houses for these people, aren't we? and then do we prioritise brits? we prioritise them over brits? that long way to that story has got a long way to 90, that story has got a long way to go, tell you. just go, let me tell you. but in just a moments time, loads more a few moments time, loads more on breaking news that on that huge breaking news that daniel abad khalifa, year daniel abad khalifa, 21 year old, army, who awaiting british army, who is awaiting trial and official trial for terror and official secrets has secrets act offences, has escaped wandsworth prison escaped from wandsworth prison this is currently on this morning. he is currently on the run. right now it's your headunes the run. right now it's your headlines aaron armstrong . headlines with aaron armstrong. >> it is 533. i'm aaron armstrong in the gb newsroom. as you've been hearing, passengers at uk airports are facing delays after terrorist suspect daniel abad khalifa escaped from prison this morning. the 21 year old, a

broke this afternoon. a terror suspect has escaped from wandsworth prison. reports acidly dressed as a chef and clinging to a delivery van, daniel abad, calif, a 21 year old excuse me, a 21 year old soldier is awaiting trial for terror and official secrets act. offences i'm joined now by the host of the protect and serve podcast and former police officer oliver lawrence. oliver, thank you very, very much. the latest is that we have absolutely no idea where this guy is . he managed to escape, guy is. he managed to escape, dressed as a chef underneath a food delivery van. he is a terror suspect and this is a massive concern. we're not even sure if he's still in the country. >> yeah, it's almost sounds a bit like a scene out of a movie, doesn't it, patrick? it's quite disturbing to think that somebody is facing as significant charges as mr khalifa has access to kitchen khalifa is has access to kitchen facilities and weapons and who knows what else and has been able to slip through the security measures at wandsworth. and you say, is actively on

and as you say, is actively on the run . and police are clearly the run. and police are clearly utilising resources from the counter—terrorism terror command to try and locate him as soon as they possibly can. >> yeah, indeed. i mean, he's regarded to be a relatively low threat to the country at the moment. i think people are treating that with a pretty healthy dose of scepticism. i must as individual must say, as this individual has pleaded guilty to three pleaded not guilty to three offences, on offences, was due on trial on november the 13th at crown court, decided to lack it court, has decided to lack it and clearly now has nothing to lose. do you think he's a threat to the . public to the. public >> well, i think anybody who's on remand for terrorist related offences , as well as leaking offences, as well as leaking secrets and has been charged under the official secrets act, there is certainly a heightened level of concern that i think the community need to be aware of. dominic murphy of. commander dominic murphy from terrorism from the counter terrorism command has indicated that there is indication that this is no indication that this individual poses broader individual poses a broader threat to the but they threat to the public, but they have urged the public not to approach mr khalifa to dial 999 and obviously to call police

immediately , which would which and obviously to call police immecindicate nhich would which and obviously to call police immecindicate to ch would which and obviously to call police immecindicate to mervould which and obviously to call police immecindicate to me that! which and obviously to call police immecindicate to me that there h would indicate to me that there is a level of risk that they are significantly concerned about with are with the resources which are being to make being applied to this to make sure he's brought back into sure that he's brought back into custody . custody. >> oliver, looks to me as >> oliver, this looks to me as though he's had a bit of help here. do think there's here. do you think there's potentially in potentially some corruption in the prison service ? the prison service? >> well , i the prison service? >> well, i think there'll be a couple of things that will be going and one of the most going on and one of the most highest things highest priority things that will the prison will be going on is the prison service at wandsworth will certainly service at wandsworth will ce lockdown. they'll certainly service at wandsworth will ce going wn. they'll certainly service at wandsworth will ce going throughy'll certainly service at wandsworth will ce going throughy'lrigorous.y be going through a rigorous review as to how on earth this has occurred. certainly review as to how on earth this has obe rred. certainly review as to how on earth this has obe looking certainly review as to how on earth this has obe looking at ertainly review as to how on earth this has obe looking at alliinly review as to how on earth this has obe looking at all avenues. we'll be looking at all avenues. i don't think we should rule anything out. i don't think we should any particular should pre—empt any particular investigations other than to hope that this individual is back custody and back back in police custody and back in the prisons as as possible. >> what do think this says >> what do you think this says about cannot keep a about us, that we cannot keep a member of our armed forces who is understood to have been collecting secrets and sensitive information an in the interests of national security , collecting of national security, collecting that potentially with the view

of giving that to our enemies , of giving that to our enemies, whilst also allegedly rigging fake bombs and planting them around the place. we can't keep him locked up in. >> there is no doubt that is incredibly concerning that we're not able to secure somebody who has who has posed a significant risk in the past. clearly he has, because he's been charged with some of the most serious offences this country has in tackling and managing counter terrorism incidents. so terrorism related incidents. so i for us to lose this i think for us to lose this individual after we've got our police services to carry out their work, investigate, hold people to account, our prison services failed us on this occasion and hopefully they'll be conducting a very thorough review or more review to hold somebody or more broadly , the department to broadly, the department to account. ask you to put account. can i ask you to put your police hat back for on me, please, tell me kind of please, and tell me what kind of methods being used right methods will be being used right now this now to go to this guy? >> earth are we to >> how on earth are we going to do it? i mean, saying do it? i mean, they're saying that connections in the that he's got connections in the north—west. we know north—west. we don't know whether getting whether he had any help getting out , if he's whether he had any help getting out, if he's still in london,

still country, what's still in the country, what's going to happening now at going to be happening now at scotland ? going to be happening now at scoyeah, ? going to be happening now at scoyeah, listen, ? going to be happening now at scoyeah, listen, there'll a >> yeah, listen, there'll be a myriad strategies myriad of different strategies that police will be invoking to try identify is. try and identify where he is. i think it would let's not give this chap any more of a head start and giving him the tips and tricks what may and tricks of what the met may or may not be other than or may not be doing other than to they have more to say that they have more than the capabilities the skills and capabilities and technological advancements to identify potentially his location very quickly. obviously, they'll be looking at friends family and to close friends and family and to close the net very, very quickly in the net in very, very quickly in making sure that he's brought into experience, into custody. in my experience, these individuals are on the run for a very short period time for a very short period of time before brought into before they're brought back into custody that's fingers custody. so that's fingers crossed. this crossed. that's the same in this scenario. okay >> all right. yes, fingers crossed. indeed i mean, a deeply concerning situation. i just want remind viewers and want to remind our viewers and our listeners of what our listeners as well of what this individual was accused of doing. this. this individual was accused of doin121 this. this individual was accused of doin121 years this. this individual was accused of doin121 years old. this. this individual was accused of doin121 years old. he this. this individual was accused of doin121 years old. he was is. he's 21 years old. he was accused breaking official accused of breaking the official secrets and acting against secrets act and acting against the interests of the the safety and interests of the state allegedly collecting state by allegedly collecting information, notes and documents which will be useful to the

enemy . he has which will be useful to the enemy. he has denied a terror plot as well , enemy. he has denied a terror plot as well, and the mod personnel files, which he is believed to have alleged to have been taking details from, would have been, quote, useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. he's also accused of a bomb hoax by allegedly leaving three canisters and wires on a desk at army lodgings on january the second this year, causing others to fear an explosion. he was due to fear an explosion. he was due to appear at woolwich crown court on the 13th of november. he has, of course, now escaped. and we await any more information . he is described as information. he is described as being long wearing a white t shirt, white and red chequered trousers and brown steel capped boots and the reason he's wearing that is because he was dressed as a chef. whether or not he was actually working in the at wandsworth the kitchen at wandsworth prison, we know yet , but prison, we don't know yet, but it looks that way and it is understood he escaped understood that he escaped underneath a van this is very

unusual, oliver, it must be said and mean prisoners don't normally get out. i mean, to you, does this does this imply that there was some help, do you think, or what? >> yeah. let's not tar the entire prison service. you know, we don't have escapees from prisons very often across the united kingdom. you know , the united kingdom. you know, the prison system prison service and the system is very secure. know, the staff very secure. you know, the staff they have employed within these facilities are second to none. and they incredibly hard to and they work incredibly hard to ensure safety and security. ensure the safety and security. so listen, are number of so listen, there are a number of questions be questions that will need to be answered this unique answered as to why this unique individual escape as individual was able to escape as he has done under a lorry. the rather bizarre circumstances counter—terror , counter—terror. counter—terror, counter—terror. police will be working alongside obviously our security services to work this all this to obviously work this all this stuff out whether stuff out and whether information got information has got in or got out facility to help him out of the facility to help him foil his plan. >> oliver, thank you very much. you do appreciate you coming on giving a bit of insight there giving us a bit of insight there and discussing ongoing and discussing this ongoing breaking news. of the breaking news. he's host of the protect podcast. make protect and serve podcast. make sure out on the sure you check that out on the former officer and former police officer and a former police officer and a former prison officer as well.

oliver wright news oliver lawrence wright gb news has exclusive interview has got an exclusive interview coming way with a of coming your way with a member of a themselves a group that called themselves the ulez blade runners. they are vigilantes who are breaking the law by vandalising ulez cameras . we, of course, can't condone it . how do you feel about it, do it. how do you feel about it, do you think it's justified? patrick christys gb news, britain's news . patrick christys gb news, britain's news. channel earlier on gb news radio show. i'm joined now by security and

channel >>a channel >> a week after the ulez scheme was extended, a camera vandal says that he won't stop damaging the devices until all of them are removed. i think this opens up a fascinating debate which is criminal damage and vandalism even criminal damage and vandalism ever. okay part a group ever. okay he's part of a group known runners , which is known as blade runners, which is fighting the fighting back against the scheme's . gb news scheme's expansion. and gb news would like to make it very clear it does not condone or encourage illegal behaviour. but we spoke to lee, whose identity we agreed to lee, whose identity we agreed to protect. he told us that the sabotage would continue until the ulez scheme is scrapped . the ulez scheme is scrapped. >> but i'm not i'm not criminal in any any way, shape or form . in any any way, shape or form. i'm, you know , i'm just i'm, you know, i'm just literally i'm doing what i believe is right and i'll stand by that and i'll sit on that hill until the time comes when i'm not no longer allowed to charge the poorest of people, to

drive around is unacceptable . drive around is unacceptable. sadiq khan talks about the fact that nine out of ten of cars are compliant. if nine if nine cars out of ten are compliant, who are the 1 in 10? the 1 in 10 are the poorest people , the ones who the poorest people, the ones who can't afford a compliant car , so can't afford a compliant car, so they're the ones you're charging. so therefore it's a tax the poor. it's that tax on the poor. it's that simple . oh i would have thought simple. oh i would have thought with the voice like that, the police would get him soon, wouldn't you? >> but the vigilante group has damaged detection damaged more than 600 detection cameras, damaged more than 600 detection camerkhan condemned . the sadiq khan has condemned. the mayor of london says the vandalism won't see ulez being scrapped . scrapped. >> decision to expand the ultra low emission zone to all of london was a difficult one. >> it wasn't an easy one, but i think it's a vital decision and it's the right one. let me tell you why we now know the evidence in relation to the consequences of air pollution, at least to around 4000 premature deaths a year. around 4000 premature deaths a year . at least two children have year. at least two children have been stunted lungs forever. adults with a whole host of health asthma to

health issues from asthma to cancer to dementia to heart disease . we also now know that disease. we also now know that one of the most effective ways to reduce air pollution is with us. how do we that in us. how do we know that in central london we've seen a reduction of around 50% of toxicity nitrogen dioxide . toxicity nitrogen dioxide. >> what a nice man. is it ever to okay condone vandalism or criminal damage ? joining me now criminal damage? joining me now is former detective chief inspector at the met police is perry banton. perry thank you very this okay? very much. is this okay? >> um, absolutely not. >> um, absolutely not. >> i understand their frustration . frustration. >> i understand the sentiments of what they're trying to achieve. but in effect , it of what they're trying to achieve. but in effect, it is criminal damage. >> it is vandalism . >> it is vandalism. >> it is vandalism. >> um, and this is not okay. ultimately, this is going to cost the taxpayer a lot more money because the government are going to have to then spend money to replace these cameras and people to obviously the and pay people to obviously the services to replace them. >> and that's just going to cost the more. so in the taxpayers more. so in effect, they're actually causing more the current more damage to the current london community than they're

actually benefit, in actually doing any benefit, in my opinion. >> so is the strength of public feeling. >> i mean, would as far as >> i mean, i would go as far as to that they have the to suggest that they do have the support the public like . support of the public like. i think it's a difficult one. >> i think, like you say, obviously the gentleman in that video said that he was trying to look after poor and he look after the poor and he thinks poor are thinks it's the poor that are being . but, you know, as being tackled. but, you know, as the mayor and i'm the mayor said, and i'm certainly not a the mayor certainly not a fan of the mayor they looking at the bigger they are looking at the bigger picture . they're looking picture. they're looking at obviously which is obviously deaths, which is obviously deaths, which is obviously serious, obviously far more serious, causing damage. >> trying to >> and they're trying to obviously number of obviously reduce the number of deaths throughout london. >> understand, as say, >> so i do understand, as i say, the sentiments, is the sentiments, but the fact is they're away , going around masks. >> they're going around with gloves. they're going around to try hide their identity and try and hide their identity and they're causing criminal damage. >> they're also doing >> and what they're also doing is taking away the is they're taking away the metropolitan police from supporting the community in other areas that they should be doing. >> they are. they are. i mean, look, an incredibly tricky look, it is an incredibly tricky one have massive one because i have massive amounts of sympathy for anybody who hates ulez. right. and i

think that, you know, i could maybe make a point here that if they behave in this way, it might deter other councils and other from pressing ahead other areas from pressing ahead with that think is with the policy that i think is pretty squiffy to say the least. certainly comes the certainly when it comes to the science, etcetera. as you science, etcetera. but as you rightly say, and of it's rightly say, and of course it's obvious, mean, you can't obvious, i mean, you can't actually i wouldn't actually condone and i wouldn't want genuine criminal want to condone genuine criminal damage. et cetera. because then it's lawless, isn't it's just lawless, isn't it? and then okay with for then i'm i'm okay with it for then i'm i'm okay with it for the with. the things that i agree with. and i'm okay with and then i'm not okay with the things don't. can't things i don't. you can't go down road. look perry. down that road. look perry. well, got and i'm well, i've got you, and i'm sorry. about sorry. we've only got about a minute i'm minute left here, but i'm sure you're of fact that you're aware of the fact that we've got a terrorist, a suspected terrorist run suspected terrorist on the run at the moment. i mean, the police will be working flat out to what do to try and get this guy. what do you from what we know you make of it from what we know so ? so far? >> i mean, i think it is absolutely horrendous that this individual been allowed individual has been allowed to escape prison system. escape from the prison system. as colleague just as my former colleague just mentioned, will a mentioned, there will be a review by the prison system into how happened. how that has happened. the police working round the police will be working round the clock agents to try and clock with all agents to try and identify where this gentleman is. my colleague mentioned that

they'll be looking at friends and family. there are a myriad of my colleague of tactics as my colleague mentioned, will mentioned, that the police will be doing. i hope it's not too late. hope this individual is late. i hope this individual is still the so he can be still in the uk so he can be apprehended as quickly as possible. again , i'm the possible. but again, i'm the police are obviously asking for the support. if the public's support. if anyone's information or anyone's got any information or anyone's got any information or any sightings, then they are to call the police. they shouldn't approach individual approach the individual themselves, the police themselves, but the police obviously looking for anyone obviously are looking for anyone with any information. however big or small, to obviously support them. absolutely look, horrendous has happened in this day it's boggling, actually >> it's mind boggling, actually . really. perry, thank you very, very benton there, very much. perry benton there, former inspector former detective chief inspector at met. initially at the met. police initially reacting scandal and reacting to the ulez scandal and then about the other scandal then now about the other scandal , arguably important, , arguably more important, which is suspected is that we have a suspected terrorist the terrorist currently on the loose. manhunt continues. loose. that manhunt continues. make that you keep it gb make sure that you keep it gb news, because we will bring you any updates as and when this individual patrick individual is found. patrick christys here on gb news. up next is dewbs& co looks like things are heating up . things are heating up. >> boxed boilers, proud sponsors
