the meeting and that was the first i heard of it. but clearly, it was a very ominous sign. >> thank you, mr speaker. and can i thank the first to the outside world, knew something was wrong, came via the house of commons when the de—man zahawi handed the prime minister a note. >> the first of many hastily handed around the chamber. liz truss already aware the queen was gravely ill, did not know how quickly her majesty was fading. the palace will be putting out a statement that i rushed to the prime minister's office in parliament to effectively begin to agree with the palace , a form of words for the palace, a form of words for the palace, a form of words for the prime minister. >> if the statement was to go out whilst the prime minister was still in the chamber and that's what i took into the chamber , i took in a handwritten chamber, i took in a handwritten note the palace delayed the statement that the queen's doctors were concerned for her health until liz truss was back in downing street . in downing street. >> meanwhile, members of the

emotional, read reading it out, not only because of the burden of responsibility on my shoulders, but on the shoulders of the entire team at gb news and those who were kind enough to be watching us and listening to be watching us and listening to us. >> queen elizabeth, the second was the rock on which modern britain was built . was the rock on which modern britain was built. but our country has grown and flourished under her reign. britain is the great country. it is today because of her a life of devoted service that will never be forgotten. >> camera ian walker. gb news. >> camera ian walker. gb news. >> we really were so lucky, weren't we? >> yeah. all those photos. yeah. >> yeah. all those photos. yeah. >> even watching that, you know , i've got something in my eye. oh, yeah. i still really miss elizabeth. in fact , i still sing elizabeth. in fact, i still sing god save the queen. it's so , so god save the queen. it's so, so deepin god save the queen. it's so, so deep in my muscle memory. it's almost like you grow up through an entire lifetime. and it

doesn't . still doesn't feel doesn't. still doesn't feel real. yeah, i think many people will with you. will agree with you. >> doesn't feel real all, >> it doesn't feel real at all, does well, speak now does it? well, let's speak now to rafe heydel—mankoo, the royal expert historian who's with expert and historian who's with us and rafe , what are your us now. and rafe, what are your reflections one year on? >> well, yes , actually, just >> well, yes, actually, just picking martin said , picking up on what martin said, you know, has passed, so you know, a year has passed, so emotions calmer. we can look emotions are calmer. we can look back with some perspective. and i see anything back with some perspective. and i this see anything back with some perspective. and i this again. see anything back with some perspective. and i this again. yousee anything back with some perspective. and i this again. you know, ything back with some perspective. and i this again. you know, the1g like this again. you know, the queen great matriarch of queen was the great matriarch of the nation. and the reason why we somewhat is we all feel somewhat empty is because wasn't just because the queen wasn't just with us for 70 years. she was with us for 70 years. she was with us for 96 years. and we tend at history terms tend to look at history in terms of centuries. century of centuries. and a century really is the span of our collective and queen collective memory. and the queen was us throughout all of was with us throughout all of that, she was the premier that, and she was the premier symbol in the world of constancy when everything else was changing. the queen was always there and she was ubiquitous because person in history because of no person in history before or since has ever had their effigy replicated so many times stamps, banknotes, coins . times stamps, banknotes, coins. wherever you go in the world. the sex pistols, her image

became iconic. the most recognisable figure in the world. that's why her death wasn't just a loss for britain or the commonwealth. it was felt all around the world. and i don't think we're ever going to see an historic event like that funeral in our history. see an historic event like that funeral in our history . you funeral in our history. you know, talk about iconic know, when we talk about iconic events in british history, it's churchill's it's the churchill's funeral. it's the coronation of 52. it's ve day , coronation of 52. it's ve day, the battle of waterloo victory, the battle of waterloo victory, the death of nelson. this event stands alongside those iconic events in our nation's story. and it's hard for me to imagine anything in the future ever coming close to that. i think it's fundamentally important that we understand that. and it was it was the queen's was as if it was the queen's last gift was to galvanise and unite the nation in proving to the naysayers that actually the idea that traditional britain is passe and dead is wrong. it was alive and well and we saw it in that ten mile queue snaking from westminster hall, the longest queuein westminster hall, the longest queue in history the longest queue in history for the longest reign in history. >> and i remember being in that queue.i >> and i remember being in that queue. i did it for four gb news. i was in the queue for 5.5

hours and people from all over the world. i was there with canadians , i was there with canadians, i was there with people from the states. people from the united states. she figure that unites she was that figure that unites cited people. if you she was that figure that unites cited if people. if you she was that figure that unites cited if you people. if you she was that figure that unites cited if you weren'tle. if you she was that figure that unites cited if you weren't a. if you she was that figure that unites cited if you weren't a royalist, even if you weren't a royalist, even if you weren't a royalist, even if you weren't a royalist, even if you were a republican, even if you were a republican, even so people could even so many people could appreciate and acknowledge the duty and the service that she's given throughout her whole life. >> that's what was so wonderful about that was that people who weren't monarchists were joining, that people even joining, that people were even just home. the just watching at home. the footage westminster footage of westminster hall without going without commentary, people going around the catafalque because they wanted participate in they wanted to participate in history . and the great thing history. and the great thing about having the monarchy we about having the monarchy is we don't annual day like don't have an annual day like july 4th in america or july the 4th in america or bastille day france, an bastille day in france, an annual to basically remind annual day to basically remind yourself how great yourself of how great your nafion yourself of how great your nation is. so these events nation is. and so these events we have to interrupt. >> we have live pictures >> we have some live pictures now rishi sunak arrive now of rishi sunak arrive arriving in india. he's there , arriving in india. he's there, of course, for the historic g 20 meeting in delhi , about to kick meeting in delhi, about to kick off there . he is a much off there. he is a much anticipated visit. ellie. yeah

sunak he's planning to use this trip to make headway on a trade deal with india as well as persuading other countries to work to help, to circumvent russia's blockade of ukraine's grain. >> at the moment, grain. >> at the moment , those are just >> at the moment, those are just a few of the things that will be on the agenda. and he has brought his wife with him. obviously the two of them. it is a country that means so much to them . and rishi sunak, speaking them. and rishi sunak, speaking before this trip, said he'd been referred india's son in referred to as india's son in law and he is said he is so excited to be back and he was so excited to be back and he was so excited to be back and he was so excited to bring his wife with him. >> yeah, lots of politics ahead of this journey. rishi. expect meeting president modi to get tough on putin. india, of course, has been the biggest importer of russian oil since the ukraine war, a cause of some consternation. there has been a demand from india to extend the number of work visas and student visas that are granted to indian citizens into the uk, which of

course we already have a huge issue with the numbers coming in india is the biggest recipient of work visas, 150,000 already and 87,000 indian students come in per annum. but apparently they want more. rishi so far talking tough on that one though. >> ellie yeah, it looks as though this this trade deal is close. rishi sunak doesn't want to put a timeline on it, but it does look as though visas, as you will be a sticking you say, will be a sticking point. but we expecting g 20 point. but we are expecting g 20 leaders to arrive in delhi over the few or so in the next few hours or so in preparation for this summit. we are expecting joe biden as well as several other european heads of state, although of course russian president vladimir putin nor the chinese president xi jinping will be there in person. it'll be the second year that vladimir putin is not at the g 20. see, there's always a conversation, isn't there, martin, about how much can actually be achieved at meetings such as this, or is it all for just display for, you know, is

it for the world stage? is it for instagram? is it for government? twitter yeah. >> the 20 has long been accused of being a bit of a talking shop. they lecture us on climate change, arrive in change, yet they arrive in massive jets, of course, but rishi's popularity is high in delhi. as a famous son of india of indian descent, he's a poster boy out there . paoli pictures boy out there. paoli pictures are on the streets in shops of him arriving so personally, his popularity, ali, is probably higher in delhi than it is in westminster. >> yeah, uk officials, i'm sure , are really hoping that that star status of rishi sunak and his wife will really cut through with the public there and hopefully make him look good at home, which i'm sure many world leaders, they know that that's something that does come from attending meetings this. attending meetings such as this. david lammy talking about that this saying critics rising this week, saying critics rising it really the g20 for being a personal networking event. yeah it's great to see the union flag there on the on the ceremonial car alongside the indian flag .

car alongside the indian flag. >> a show of solidarity that we didn't see. ali when joe biden went to ireland, of course. yes. >> we do know that rishi >> but we do know that rishi sunak modi will sunak and narendra modi will hold bilateral meeting this hold a bilateral meeting this week . and so it could be a week. and so it could be a significant weekend, especially if we get any progress on that trade deal, says rishi sunak and his wife . they're getting into his wife. they're getting into the car at new delhi airport. so i believe we can be joined now by catherine forster, who can tell us a little bit more about what we can expect from the g20. good morning to you, catherine. what's on the agenda for rishi sunak ? sunak? >> i can't hear anything. steve >> i can't hear anything. steve >> okay, so well, we'll get those technical issues sorted out there are lots of things on the table , lots of demands from the table, lots of demands from india on work visas as we said, on student visas and from the uk . rishi is concerned that india is flooding britain with non—branded pharmaceuticals , non—branded pharmaceuticals, which undercuts our own market. and of course wine duty, export

duty of alcohol to india is too high. this is the kind of thing we'd like to get to the bottom of. catherine, can you hear us now? has the eagle landed ? now? has the eagle landed? >> yes, i can. and i'm really hoping you can hear me, martin. >> yes , we can, catherine. so >> yes, we can, catherine. so we've already spoken a little bit about work visas are on the table. the indians want more of that. they want more student visas return for trade. rishi visas in return for trade. rishi is talking tough . how is talking tough. how significant do you think this 620 significant do you think this g20 meeting is going to be or is it yet more just international posturing ? posturing? >> well, of course, these meetings always have a lot of symbolism or a lot of photo opportunities, a lot of smiles, not necessarily that much substance. but i think this one is significant. it's a big moment for rishi sunak. is significant. it's a big moment for rishi sunak . as you moment for rishi sunak. as you say, he's had a pretty awful week at home. i suspect he'll be very relieved to be landing in india now accompanied by his wife. he's a bit of a star there because, of course, he's the first british prime minister of

indian heritage and his wife's family are a really , really big family are a really, really big deal there, too . and he's deal there, too. and he's a practising hindu . he'll be practising hindu. he'll be visiting sites of cultural and historical significance and of course, there is the matter of this uk, india trade deal. we've been hearing about it for a long time. borisjohnson been hearing about it for a long time. boris johnson wanted it done dusted by october last yean done dusted by october last year, didn't he? but it does sound like it is nearly ready there. they are saying they won't be nailed down on a timeline , but noise is coming timeline, but noise is coming from india, suggesting they think it could be done and dusted by the end of the year. now, of course, this very thorny issue of visas for students and for workers, we've already got high student numbers coming from india , also workers also a fair india, also workers also a fair few crossing the channel illegally. huge concern from people like suella braverman , people like suella braverman, the home secretary, that a trade deal might give away large

numbers of more visas . number numbers of more visas. number ten saying very firmly, no, that's not going to be on the table. so lots of hopeful noises. rishi sunak will be having a meeting with the indian pm. it's going to come up, of course , but this is a very course, but this is a very disparate group of countries, isn't it? 19 of the richest economies in the world and the eu. there's a lot that unites them, but they're also pretty divided, especially on things like ukraine, the west, united, but countries like china and india that are hosting the summit, india only too happy to buy plenty of cheap oil from russia . so lots of divisions , i russia. so lots of divisions, i suspect, behind the smiles . suspect, behind the smiles. >> okay, catherine forster, thank you for that update from westminster. thank you . westminster. thank you. >> now the national manhunt for the former soldier suspected of terrorism continues today . terrorism continues today. richmond park was closed by officers this morning in the hope to find the inmate , but no hope to find the inmate, but no traces of him were found .

traces of him were found. >> daniel abbott, kalief was awaiting trial in relation to terrorism while incarcerated at wandsworth prison in south—west london. sources have told gb news. the 21 year old is accused of spying for iran. well mark white gb news home and security edhonis white gb news home and security editor, is in the studio with us this morning. >> good morning to you, mark. so we have seen extensive searches in richmond park, haven't we? >> yes , we can tell you now, >> yes, we can tell you now, though, that those searches have been stood down. they began yesterday evening involving many police officers ears on the ground and support from the air by the national police service. helicopters who were these helicopters were up in a very intensive grid pattern, searching overnight using heat seeking cameras as to try. you can see actually from the image our television viewers can see the pattern . it's just a the pattern. it's just a scramble of circles there as it's just going all the way

around richmond park, a massive area, 2500 acres, lots of wooded areas and undergrowth where someone could hide out. and the police were saying yesterday that given his army training , as that given his army training, as a matter of course , anyone in a matter of course, anyone in the military is given regular training on how to survive and evade capture. so that would be within his training. evade capture. so that would be within his training . but that within his training. but that search has been stood down. they have not found this young man at and it seems. but for the time being, the search has gone cold. >> here's a guy who evaded capture for three weeks after he placed out a suspect suspect device at raf stafford . so he's device at raf stafford. so he's well known to be able to avoid authorities. he huge questions about why he was put into wandsworth prison on its knees is that some want demolished with a reputation for escapees

and then given a soft job in a kitchen which is just a route in and out or even allowed to help unload delivery vans . this is a unload delivery vans. this is a huge bungle for the for the british forces, isn't it? well i think aside from the condition of the prison, not unlike the condition of quite a few prisons around the country, actually , around the country, actually, but aside from that issue, i think it's a real question that alex chalk , the justice alex chalk, the justice secretary, has asked it to be answered as well, which is why some one facing terrorism charges was not pleased in in a higher level category , a maximum higher level category, a maximum security prison. >> most terror suspects and indeed terror prisoners find themselves in the likes of belmarsh prison. there is a review, an urgent review to answer that question , and also answer that question, and also to try to establish where other terror prisoners are located, right around the prison estate ,

right around the prison estate, because it may be that if they are being held currently in category b prisons, lower level security prisons, that that will change, that they will then be moved to more secure prisons in the wake of this. so, yes , some the wake of this. so, yes, some very real questions to be asked really about whether it was appropriate to have this prisoner in that category b prisoner in that category b prison . i should say as well, prison. i should say as well, that the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley , commissioner, sir mark rowley, has been speaking this morning on lbc's lbc, giving an interview about the situation . interview about the situation. he says they're examining all issues around what help, if any, this young man might have had in trying to organise his escape and indeed, after his escape . and indeed, after his escape. and the kind of things are looking at is, is, you know, whether other prisoners were involved in helping him, whether prison staff might have been involved in helping him, that will all factor in to their investigation version. it's very

possible that he was able to organise this himself by the use of even a mobile phone. there are many mobile phones that circulate around prisons . it circulate around prisons. it gets smuggled in the tiny little things that can be hidden away on someone's person as they go into a prison and the prisoners will often swap these phones around, give them to someone alone for an hour or so. so he could have arranged it with people contacts on the outside. all of that, as i say, forms part of the ongoing investigation . investigation. >> many questions still remain. mark white really good to see you this morning. we'll have more on that in the next hour. this britain's newsroom this is britain's newsroom on gb news. but now, let's get the news. but for now, let's get the weather update for you from aidan . aidan mcgivern. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. hello very good on. gb news. hello very good morning to you. >> it's aidan mcgivern here from

assure me that we'd be meeting again soon. on the assumption absolutely was that this would be the first of many meetings the prime minister's landed in india for the g20 summit. >> rishi sunak is the first british leader of indian descent to visit the country , and the to visit the country, and the country refers to him as its son in law. well, during the meeting of world leaders, he's expected to urge the richest nations to be unified in trying to bring an end to the war in ukraine. he'll also hold bilateral talks with the indian prime minister, narendra modi , in an effort to narendra modi, in an effort to secure a trade deal with the country. the foreign secretary james cleverly, though, has played concerns any played down concerns that any agreement involve the uk agreement could involve the uk handing out more student visas. >> growing economy. >> india is a growing economy. it is increasingly going to be important economic and politically, diplomatically in years to come. and the fact that we've already got a good relationship, an excellent relationship, an excellent relationship, in fact is fantastic. we're looking to build on that. and india is

seeking to do a trade deal with us and us seeking to a trade deal with them for trade purposes is rather than anything else. and the advantages of trade are self—evident eight 5 million disposable vapes are thrown away every week in the uk i >> research from material focus , that's a non—profit recycling organisation , found the numbers organisation, found the numbers quadrupled in the past year. it's the equivalent of eight vapes per second being discarded. the industry says it's working to improve recycling rates to avoid fires in bin lorries and rubbish dumps . rural areas in england will be the first to receive funding for electric buses. the first £25 million of a zero emission scheme worth up to £129 million will be prioritised for country communities. all local authorities in england outside london will be able to apply for the funding and the uk is on track to have six days of 30 c heat for the first time since

>> yeah, we watch that package earlier. i got i something earlier. i got i got something in blaming that fan in my eye. i'm blaming that fan over but are also over there. but people are also sharing that that sentiment audi steve here like you martin i am shedding many tears today remembering our dear late queen. what a lady. what a reign her majesty would i'm sure, be very proud of her son's first year. god save the king. >> oh, that's lovely, trish says a year on and i'm crying . it a year on and i'm crying. it tells you everything about how much we loved queen. never much we loved our queen. never will there be anyone else like her. bless her majesty. her. god bless her majesty. >> yeah. and sharon adding this salute to the greatest britain of all, queen elizabeth ii. salute to the greatest britain of all, queen elizabeth 11. and she makes me proud to be british. >> i think that's a really, really good point because i don't know about anybody else, but i remember that so but i remember that day. so vividly and i was vividly last year, and i was actually myself at how actually surprised myself at how much it hit me. i don't know if that sentiment felt by lots that is a sentiment felt by lots of but it felt of other people, but it felt like losing family i like losing a family member. i was i felt like i was grieving. >> yeah. i mean, you know, i'm old remember the old enough to remember the golden the silver jubilee. old enough to remember the golden the silverjubilee. sorry golden the silver jubilee. sorry in and that's basically one in 77. and that's basically one of my earliest memories. so you

know, the was with me my know, the queen was with me my entire life. so in that sense, a constant presence . constant presence. >> yeah. constant presence. >> and|. constant presence. >> and it did feel losing >> and it did feel like losing someone that you felt very, very close to. >> and that is closeto. >>and >> and i think that is in part because, know, christmas because, you know, the christmas day every single day message, 3 pm. every single christmas day. she's of christmas day. she's part of those you christmas day. she's part of those of you christmas day. she's part of those of christmas, you'd you christmas day. she's part of those of christmas, you'd think think of christmas, you'd think of late queen it is just of the late queen and it is just such an emotional thing to and especially to look back at pictures meeting pictures there. i mean meeting liz later, we liz truss, 48 hours later, we had lost her. she was duty till the very, very end. she was still working two days before her death. >> it's remarkable. >> it's remarkable. >> sally said it was lovely >> and sally said it was lovely seeing your tributes to our beloved with rafe. i think beloved queen with rafe. i think he was. he was excellent . sort he was. he was excellent. sort of all together . of pulling that all together. the importance of the commonwealth culturally , the sex commonwealth culturally, the sex pistols, was pistols, of course, that was that summer of 77. and that famous summer of 77. and even even many years later, you know, johnny rotten , joe lydon know, johnny rotten, joe lydon admitted actually he loved the queen. it was just all a bit of and they took it in great spirits , cultural constant in spirits, a cultural constant in our lives . our lives. >> yeah, and that's what rafe was saying, wasn't he? even if

you're a republican, you could respect for her respect that the queen for her duty, service for and duty, for her service for and her love for this country. you could you could appreciate that. so do keep those views, those reflections coming in this morning. we're really, really enjoying reading them. enjoying reading through them. vaiews@gbnews.com. also a few on this jailbreak of daniel kalief . so many questions. neil kalief. so many questions. neil and trish though. you are both saying pretty much the same thing, which is i wonder if the police have tried the iranian embassy . police have tried the iranian embassy. that's police have tried the iranian embassy . that's because a source embassy. that's because a source has told gb news that daniel kalief could have been a spy for iran . iran. >> that's right. and trish is raising an excellent point echoed by mark rowley, the met chief. sounds like a professional break for terror suspect. you can either bet he's out of the country already or sat pretty in the iranian embassy waiting for everything to go quiet . and then he'll be to go quiet. and then he'll be taken out of the country. it's like a movie, ali. it is so much to talk about, like something out film. out of a film. >> as saying, the manhunt >> as we're saying, the manhunt for suspect daniel

for terror suspect daniel kalief, underway kalief, it's still underway today now saying today with police now saying there no of the former there is no trace of the former soldier and that he may have left the country . left the country. >> the year old escaped >> yeah, the 21 year old escaped wandsworth prison wednesday wandsworth prison on wednesday morning. was awaiting trial morning. he was awaiting trial at london's longest operating jail after being accused of planting fake bombs at a military base. >> well, joining us now to discuss this is former head of the national counterterrorism office, security officer chris phillips. good morning to you, chris. very good to have you with us. i mean, most people are asking the same question, which is did he have help with this ? is did he have help with this? was it an inside job? what do you think? yeah well, and i think the chief inspector of prisons has made it clear , as prisons has made it clear, as well as others that the people in inside the prison sometimes aren't trained as well as they should be. >> and of course, it is quite feasible for someone to get a job in prison in order to help people escape. i mean, those those points are are there i mean, this may well not be the case, but certainly he seems to

have done quite a lot of planning in order to escape questions . questions. >> now, a huge search, of course, in richmond park that's proved fruitless. you'd expect somebody with his training, he's in it expert trained by the british military to evade detection in fact, in a previous incident , he avoided detection incident, he avoided detection for three weeks. chris, here's a guy who's highly organised. he knows his tech. surely his first priority would be to try and get out of britain. >> yeah, and the longer it takes for the for the police to catch him, of course, the more chance he's got of getting away and the further distance he can create between himself and wandsworth pfison between himself and wandsworth prison effectively. listen you know, i think a lot is being played about his ability to evade capture. the only way he's going to be able to do that is if people are helping him and if people are helping him, then, of course, they put themselves in line a prison sentence line for a long prison sentence as well. if he got

as well. so if he hasn't got people help him , he will be people to help him, he will be caught fairly quickly. i'm sure of of course, we don't of that. but of course, we don't know this iranian side to know about this iranian side to this story, which is a little bit more concerning. >> yeah , it certainly is. >> yeah, it certainly is. i mean, chris, what you make of mean, chris, what do you make of this news that daniel kalief was in belmarsh category , a prison? in belmarsh category, a prison? he is a terror suspect that was moved to a category a category b prison. prison, which prison. wandsworth prison, which we know it's been reported for years, has been overcrowded and understaffed. i mean, that's pretty hard to believe, isn't it, that a terror suspect was moved to a prison that had escapees before and was understaffed? yeah >> yeah. well, all prisons are supposed to be quite secure. and i think the key point here is that he wasn't considered a huge risk . uh, we don't know yet. the risk. uh, we don't know yet. the full story about his arrest and what he was up to. but clearly, those people that made the decisions on risk didn't think that he was a huge risk to society and therefore moved him down from belmarsh. but it is

very unusual. but not unprecedented. i think. >> well, i mean i mean, chris, i'm no prison chief, but i do see common sense when i see it a known terrorist awaiting trial in a prison where nobody has ever escaped . belmarsh ever escaped. belmarsh transferred to a prison where people have escaped one ebsworth. and lo and behold, he's gone . walkers this is a he's gone. walkers this is a cataclysmic failure of the british prison system . um well, british prison system. um well, the whole prison system is in a state of crisis anyway, as is most of the criminal justice system . system. >> you know, you don't expect a prisoner to escape from wandsworth or anywhere else, but, of course, belmarsh is category a, it's a prison that would be the most difficult to escape from. but listen , there's escape from. but listen, there's more to this. i mean, he was actually given a job which allowed him to play with knives, carry knives and actually a degree of freedom . i mean, yes, degree of freedom. i mean, yes, he hasn't been convicted yet, but this is highly unusual for a

terror suspect. i would suggest . oh, yeah. >> what do you make of that, chris? because that is astounding, isn't it? a terror suspect being given a job in a kitchen with access to knives, as also an open as you say, and also an open door receive deliveries? and door to receive deliveries? and some this morning some of the papers this morning are saying that was are saying that that was actually khalaf's job. are saying that that was actually khalaf'sjob. he actually daniel khalaf's job. he was in charge of receiving those deliveries. had access to deliveries. so he had access to those so they're not very those bands. so they're not very difficult to decipher how he he he that that escape . he planned that that escape. >> yeah, i think they probably the authorities, the people that that were doing the risk assessments probably almost certainly didn't think that he was going to make any effort to escape or they wouldn't have put him in that role. that's the sort of that you get sort of role that you get usually you've in usually when you've been in prison you're waiting prison and you're waiting release. have to release. yes. i mean, we have to bear mind that he's not been bear in mind that he's not been convicted anything yet. so convicted of anything yet. so until the full details until we know the full details of the court case and that, of course, may never happen now, then we won't really know whether the decisions taken were reasonable or not. but but that's what the inquiry is for.

but, you know, this is such a big waste of time for policing at a time when they haven't got enough officers to do their job anyway . 150 of them now are anyway. 150 of them now are wasting time on someone wasting their time on someone they'd already convicted or already charged and awaiting court . court. >> chris, there is a historic precedent of a guy called junaid hussain. remember him? he was another it expert he wanted escaped on bail. he became a key player in isis. one of the it merchant's it skills are very, very highly prized by international terror networks, especially when they're a briton who has turned, as it were, defected, a former member of the armed forces will be a prized asset for international terror groups. would he not? a poster boy for the sign of britain's weakness and its ability to turn . you'd expect, if there is an iranian link, they'd be trying to get this guy out of the country and use him as an asset pronto . pronto. >> yeah, absolutely. and of course, we don't know whether when he joined the army, he was already working for the iranians. we don't know that

that's something that perhaps is known industry. but known within the industry. but certainly it's not been made plain yet, because what we do know is likewise with policing and prisons and the army organisations will try to infiltrate and put people inside and that could be the situation with this man. and he may there may be a lot more to this around the iranian than meets the iranian side than than meets the iranian side than than meets the eye and what do you think in your opinion, chris, of where we are now, 50 hours since daniel califf made his escape, do you think that he's gone to ground in london or do you think he's out of the country by now? >> do the police have any hope of finding him after 50 hours have passed? yes i think there's of finding him after 50 hours have aspects? yes i think there's of finding him after 50 hours have aspects to es i think there's of finding him after 50 hours have aspects to this. hink there's 2—2 aspects to this. >> one is if he's working on his own, there's no doubt he'll be found and he'll found. he'll found and he'll be found. he'll probably identified by a probably be identified by a member the public he's if member of the public if he's if he's and he's got he's working alone and he's got to rely on his, you know, trying to rely on his, you know, trying to trying to get to get money, trying to get movement around country, movement around the country, trying trying to do all these

trying to trying to do all these things, he's going to really pop up difficulty will come is up the difficulty will come is if he is working for a group and that of not only enabled that group of not only enabled him to escape , but also then him to escape, but also then immediately hidden him in order to move him around the country or out of the country. then i think the police have got big troubles, big problems ahead. >> okay. phillips , thank >> okay. chris phillips, thank you for joining >> okay. chris phillips, thank you forjoining us on you very much for joining us on this morning. ali it really, i think, asks huge , huge think, asks huge, huge questions. i mean, he's basically walked out of a soft jail having been transferred from where he should have been. and here's another point. we've seen stories about albanian gangs smuggling albanian criminals out of britain. it's easier to get people out of britain than it is to get them in. and look, we've had 85,000 arrive illegally to our shores in the past year anyway. it's like what chance this guy could easily slip to the continent. and if that happens, it'll be a complete and utter disastrous embarrassment for the for the prison service. >> yeah, well, it depends on

whether he's working alone, as chris says, or whether he is working with the iranians or the albanians. just know. albanians. we just don't know. but be an but there is going to be an inquiry as to exactly what happened prison. happened at wandsworth prison. i'd to why there i'd like to know why there wasn't mirror. know, when wasn't a mirror. you know, when usually you them ports usually you see them at ports all the there's mirrors all the time. there's mirrors going underneath vans. why didn't would didn't that happen? you would have mean, have seen kalief, i mean, clinging bottom of the van. >> but that's because, ali, your problem is you're thinking with common sense. and that's not happening wandsworth. common sense. and that's not hapwellig wandsworth. common sense. and that's not hapwell ,] wandsworth. common sense. and that's not hapwell , clearly, wandsworth. common sense. and that's not hapwell , clearly, do wandsworth. common sense. and that's not hapwell , clearly, do let1dsworth. common sense. and that's not hapwell , clearly, do let usworth. common sense. and that's not hapwell , clearly, do let us know >> well, clearly, do let us know what you make of story. it what you make of that story. it is, say, like something what you make of that story. it is, the ay, like something what you make of that story. it is, the film.> gb news.com. >> okay. to gbnews.com. >> okay. to our next story now, an amazing but heartbreaking story from a who tragically story from a lady who tragically lost her nine year old daughter to cancer . lost her nine year old daughter to cancer. we'll hear her to cancer. we'll hear from her about tireless campaigning about her tireless campaigning on with the mp on this issue, along with the mp spearheading message in parliament. >> but first, let's get your weather with mcgivern . weather with aidan mcgivern. >> the temperatures rising in boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello, very good morning to you. it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office with the gb

your daughter, sophie. tell us a bit more about her. >> yeah, she was a very healthy , a happy nine year old who enjoyed going to school for who she was just so bubbly and happy and positive and enjoyed life. and they hadn't spent one night in hospital prior to becoming unwell and when did you know that that she was unwell with childhood cancer ? she started childhood cancer? she started complaining of stomach pains and she felt sick. she she was struggling to eat in the mornings, particularly . and we mornings, particularly. and we obviously had gone to the doctors, but they put it down to other things . but at the moment other things. but at the moment she started bleeding was the moment i knew that something more she was told more serious. but she was told that it would be her. it was her first period, even though i was insistent that this was definitely not her first period and in the end, i took her up to

a&e and that's when they said how long she had this lump for. and i said, what lump? and they found a 12 centimetre tumour in her . and charlotte, the her abdomen. and charlotte, the loss of a child is something that no parent would ever, ever wish for, but so inspiring that you've used this to launch sophie's legacy. >> can you tell us a little bit about that ? about that? >> yeah. sophie made me promise her before she died to achieve her before she died to achieve her wishes. she wrote a bucket list of things she wanted to be achieved. things like parents to be fed in hospital to improve play be fed in hospital to improve play facilities seven days a week, and to improve children's cancers so that they have a chance at surviving and also that there's an improvement to things like training healthcare workers to actually pick up the signs of childhood cancer quicker because we all know that being diagnosed quicker with cancen being diagnosed quicker with cancer, you've got a better chance at survival. children chance at survival. yet children with cancer seem to be diagnosed

, often misdiagnosed a number of times before they actually are. >> what an incredible character your daughter is that she was dying from childhood cancer and she used that time to think about her legacy and to think about her legacy and to think about you and to think about other parents and other patients and try and make their cancer journey a little bit better than hers . hers. >> yeah, she she just was incredible . i know that a lot of incredible. i know that a lot of parents say that about their children, but she the mindset to have knowing that she was dying and only just turned ten when she just you know when she died but that she just wanted to make a difference. and she even said to me, you know , obviously was to me, you know, obviously was in tears. and looking in tears. and she kept looking to it will be okay. to me, said, it will be okay. mum and i don't know how mum and i just don't know how she did that. she wanted make she did that. she wanted to make a difference . she wanted things a difference. she wanted things to changed. and she made me to be changed. and she made me promise her that we would achieve this . and that's why we achieve this. and that's why we have continued our campaign, met our ten days after sophie died,

and we haven't stopped since . and we haven't stopped since. >> and caroline, that's an excellent point to bring you in. what a wonderful way of representing one of your constituents. can you tell us about how you're using your parliamentary influence to try and get this issue on the table ? >> 7- >> yeah, i ? >> yeah, i mean, i can quite understand why charlotte said that sophie was a remarkable young lady. she was, but actually charlotte and the rest of her family are quite remarkable well, they've remarkable as well, how they've turned unspeakable tragedy turned this unspeakable tragedy into effective campaign into such an effective campaign to try and save the lives of other children. as you've other children. so as you've just heard, charlotte came to see ten days after see me just ten days after sophie died and had a very clear idea as to what needed to change and to try and meaningfully impact the way that we detect the way we treat the way we care for children and young people with across uk . and with cancer across the uk. and ever we've been on a ever since then, we've been on a mission. the pair of us like a dynamic duo, we've met with every single secretary every single health secretary we've i've raised it in prime

minister's questions with every single prime minister. and as you there's been a of you know, there's been a bit of a revolving door in both of those the year. those roles over the last year. so we've a of positive so we've had a lot of positive response from the department of health. many health. we've met with so many experts. charlotte and i. so we've together a very clear we've put together a very clear action call action plan. we call it a childhood cancer mission it childhood cancer mission that it will meaningfully change the way we do everything from alerting people to the signs and symptoms , improving the way that we research this childhood cancer is such a backwater when it comes to research and investment and also meaningfully improving the way that children are cared for and the way they experience their treatment when they're in hospital . hospital. >> so moving. charlotte >> it's so moving. charlotte charlotte, i just want to ask you, what do you think sophie would say to you about all of this ? this? >> i think i'm hoping that she'll be pleased with what we're doing. i know that she would be right behind us wanting us to just not give up and keep going. and however hard it gets

for sending your loads for sending in your views. loads of about daniel of you talking about daniel cliff, the terror suspect who escaped prison, escaped from wandsworth prison, about 50 hours ago now. una's beenin about 50 hours ago now. una's been in touch. and we love this forensic analysis from you, una, who says there so many who says there were so many flaws here. number one, why was he there , as in in he even there, as in in wandsworth not belmarsh. wandsworth prison? not belmarsh. number two, the kitchen manager should have checked and accounted for all of his prisoners and reported roll call pnor prisoners and reported roll call prior delivery truck prior to that delivery truck being given permission to move . being given permission to move. and three, gate and number three, the gate should checked should have been checked thoroughly, the cab, thoroughly, including the cab, the rear and the underneath of that vehicle before letting it depart. there are too many failures here, she says, not impossible, but highly likely. he assisted in both the he was assisted in both the planning and execution of this. i think many of would agree i think many of you would agree with i think many of you would agree witiand it sounds una is the >> and it sounds like una is the sort of person we need in charge. >> yes, because we were saying earlier, sense. earlier, lack of common sense. that's up stephen that's been picked up on stephen has you mentioned has said martin, you mentioned common ellie asked common sense. when ellie asked about and a truck, you about mirrors and a truck, you know, to check that no one's there, you know, basic thing you

would think. but stephen says common i'm is common sense, i'm afraid, is sorely britain sorely lacking in britain in this something that this day and age, something that needs this day and age, something that neever to be considered great is ever to be considered great again, in my opinion , donna again, in my opinion, donna says, how come the poor old british public have cameras following their every move at a high security prisoner escapes detention easily ? detention so easily? >> i'm sure if he drives through ulez camera , soon ulez camera, he'll soon be spotted apprehended . i did spotted and apprehended. i did see many people making similar comments online actually saying if everyday person in if it was an everyday person in the the number cctv the street, the number of cctv cameras, cameras, speed cameras, ulez cameras, speed cameras, ulez cameras, speed cameras, be stopped, cameras, you would be stopped, wouldn't caught out. wouldn't you? and caught out. but one man escaping from wandsworth prison is proving very, difficult . very, very difficult. >> it true? >> is it true? >> is it true? >> you can barely sort >> you can you can barely sort of sneeze in public without being caught cctv and a known being caught on cctv and a known terrorist just just strapped herself to a van and ends up disappearing for 50 hours. it's an astonishing thing. lack of common sense and total incompetence . it's time to go incompetence. it's time to go through the top stories today. joining us this morning is author and commentator nick hodgson director hodgson and, of course, director of the new culture forum, peter whittle. top of the morning whittle. so top of the morning to both you. is the

to both of you. this is the story that's been driving the agenda. course, all morning. agenda. of course, all morning. let's start this with you, let's start on this with you, nicky. daniel kalief he's gone walkies. he was clearly a risk. what a cataclysmic failure. >> yeah, but the prisons are in such a state. i'm sort of not surprised by this, to be honest. i'm surprised that it doesn't happen more often. if you've visited written on visited prisons and written on them, have, you will you them, which i have, you will you hear routinely from from the staff that they are massively short staffed. the people that are coming in are not often that well trained and you know , well trained and you know, prisons are very complex places as to know your way around and to run. and i don't think the training that is given to officers coming in is good enough. a lot of people that, you know , end up being prison you know, end up being prison officers people that have officers are people that have been down from police officers are people that have beerother down from police officers are people that have beerother establishments police officers are people that have beerother establishments foryolice and other establishments for different reasons and people and other establishments for diffeofit reasons and people and other establishments for diffeof see asons and people and other establishments for diffeof see itons and people and other establishments for diffeof see it as; and people and other establishments for diffeof see it as a and people and other establishments for diffeof see it as a place eople and other establishments for diffeof see it as a place thate sort of see it as a place that people up if they can't get people end up if they can't get a job police, for a job in the police, for example. and i think that's really staff really short on the staff because basically really short on the staff bec fourth basically really short on the staff bec fourth emergencyally really short on the staff bec fourth emergency service. the fourth emergency service. they're really they're doing something really

vital of the vital for the safety of the country. but that said, prisons are completely overcrowded. i think too many people up think we lock too many people up like lot of proof that like we have a lot of proof that for some kinds of crimes, the prison rehabilitate prison doesn't rehabilitate them. guy's a terrorist, them. this guy's a terrorist, known terrorist. i'm not saying about whenever about this guy, but whenever capacity is too capacity is, you know, is too high, there are people that probably are in there that shouldn't be certainly lots of women, actually. but it's a different topic. thing about women, actually. but it's a diffestorytopic. thing about women, actually. but it's a diffe story isyic. thing about women, actually. but it's a diffestory is it. thing about women, actually. but it's a diffestory is it does thing about women, actually. but it's a diffestory is it does soundibout women, actually. but it's a diffestory is it does sound liket this story is it does sound like an inside job me , actually, an inside job to me, actually, because of how many elements would to align for in order would have to align for in order for to escape . and i for him to escape. and i completely agree with the viewer who emailed you know, kind of analysing along the process of him escaping all the things that went there are cameras went wrong. there are cameras absolutely everywhere. there are, quadrupled lock are, you know, quadrupled lock doors. there special keys to doors. there are special keys to get things. it doesn't get through things. it doesn't really sense . really make any sense. >> so, peter, what do you make of all? well mean, i think, of it all? well i mean, i think, first of all, congratulate the people written in with people who've written in with those points. those brilliant points. >> , which more >> actually, which is more or less, know , taken away what less, you know, taken away what i was going to say. but i'm sure

that sort of thing happens a lot . know what really sort of hit me about this actually was this idea of it being an inside job. because when people talk about inside jobs, no one knows this yet. i have to make that point. yes. but usually maybe on yes. but usually maybe it's on a criminal matter, you know, someone breaking someone out of jail whatever . what kind of jail or whatever. what kind of an inside job would this have been with a terror suspect? surely it does this mean that there are people working in the jail who sympathise? i mean, this is very, very frightening . this is very, very frightening. l, this is very, very frightening. i, i think i mean, if it is that, then you're talking about what a network of people who basically don't mind the guy being out as it were, and a danger. being out as it were, and a danger . as for the other point danger. as for the other point as well , apparently they are as well, apparently they are searching around richmond park now . good luck with that. but now. good luck with that. but the fact is, is that all of our security services, you know, one does not have much faith in them. i mean, you know, i know this is not really to do at this point, but how many times have we heard these stories whereby

people committed atrocities people have committed atrocities for and were on for example, and they were on the radar of our security services and things like that? what is going on there? >> and on that point, what do you should just say as you oh, we should just say as well, richmond search well, the richmond park search has completed. nothing has now been completed. nothing was found of kalief. there but do you it odd that a do you find it odd that a terrorist suspect was being held in a category prison being in a category b prison being transferred from belmarsh, which is the most secure in the country? >> why? i mean, who who would have basically made that decision ? and if they did, decision? and if they did, surely it's a resigning issue, isn't it ? i mean, it's quite isn't it? i mean, it's quite extraordinary . yeah. extraordinary. yeah. >> and the thing about belmarsh and i've been into hmp whitemoor , it's really hard to get into the category. and in fact, lawyers often complain it takes so long to get in the kind of missing trial, parole hearings inside . so why on would inside. so why on earth would somebody who's a clear danger to the country moves to category b? that's one question. he's not been found in richmond park. you'd expect someone like him to try jump you'd expect someone like him to try jump the country. and try and jump the country. and

nicky, that brings us the nicky, that brings us to the next can't stop next point. if we can't stop 106,000 people getting into the country illegally since 2018, if we can't stop at least 19 known terrorists, including some that work for the islamic state , work for the islamic state, getting into britain illegally , getting into britain illegally, how on earth can we stop? one guy getting out? i think the problem is it's actually very difficult to decide what difficult to decide at what point someone is a danger the public. >> so, okay. yeah. someone. someone being , you know, someone is being, you know, going to be tried under offence of terrorism? no no, but no, but i don't mean just let me finish, peter. what i mean is people can be searching for certain materials or , i don't know, materials or, i don't know, researching things like how to make a bomb or whatever. it doesn't mean that they're necessarily go on necessarily going to then go on and an act of terrorism. and commit an act of terrorism. they researching for they can be researching them for all kinds reasons. and people all kinds of reasons. and people sometimes i don't sometimes have maybe, i don't know, unnatural interest know, an unnatural interest in certain but because of certain things, but because of that, is why we are that, that is why we are overcautious when it comes to deciding who is actually risk . deciding who is actually risk. >> but this guy, you see what i'm saying? >> actually made a bomb >> this guy actually made a bomb and raf base.

and placed it on an raf base. this not some guy in his this is not some guy in his bedroom sort of googling how to make completely make a bomb completely agree with make a bomb completely agree witibut i'm trying to say is >> but what i'm trying to say is in the way we deal with in general, the way we deal with terrorism that we leave terrorism is that we leave people late until take people too late until we take action. okay, this action. right? so, okay, this guy l action. right? so, okay, this guy i mean, it wasn't a fake guy was i mean, it wasn't a fake bomb. point, though. bomb. that's the point, though. it an actual bomb. the it wasn't an actual bomb. so the problem you've made problem is, if you've made a fake does that say? fake bomb, what does that say? you're making you're kind of making some really weird people or really weird joke at people or that you're practising for the real mean. real thing. i mean. >> yes. i'm sorry. i'm just >> yes. no, i'm sorry. i'm just very you're charge very glad you're not in charge of security. well, i. of our security. well, so am i. >> wouldn't to be nicky. >> i wouldn't want to be nicky. >> i wouldn't want to be nicky. >> i wouldn't want to be nicky. >> i mean, it's just quite extraordinary, that kind of line of reasoning. fact is, of reasoning. the fact is, i think what you just said, martin, is absolutely right. you know , huge numbers of people know, huge numbers of people simply cannot be found who come into the country illegally, just disappear into the country and we're seeing who knows who is coming over by these boats, for example , at the moment, who example, at the moment, who knows? you know, amongst those people. and yet somehow we seem to have given up the will actually to be strong about

this. i mean , and particularly this. i mean, and particularly in this case, again, young guy , in this case, again, young guy, why was he in this prison, a, category b, you know, he should have been in belmarsh down where iused have been in belmarsh down where i used to live in woolwich. >> so many questions. peter you're right. and do let us know what you make of that story. keep those views coming in gbviews@gbnews.com peter, i know you've on this. we you've got a view on this. we just saw pictures of rishi sunak landing in delhi g20 landing in delhi for the g20 demanding they are demanding india. they are demanding india. they are demanding for more student visas. that's right. what do you make of it? >> well, apparently, according to the report, said sunak to the report, he said sunak said, isn't going to be said, no, this isn't going to be on the table . i will wait and on the table. i will wait and see if that changes actually , i see if that changes actually, i think it absolutely shouldn't . think it absolutely shouldn't. but, you know, to actually put into a trade deal, something which fundamentally affects our the immigration issue is completely wrong and unfair and for that matter , the last thing for that matter, the last thing britain needs now basically is thousands and thousands of more

migrant . thousands and thousands of more migrant. it's just thousands and thousands of more migrant . it's just extraordinary migrant. it's just extraordinary . i mean, they say that one of the reasons is that they want to come to britain because we have world class universities. what i'm afraid you know, instead of a space program, maybe india should build some world class universities so they can go there . there. >> it's a fair point, nikki. i mean, this this kind of idea of trade for visas, look at the numbers already 150,000 work visas given to indian citizens in the last year, 87,000 student visas, a total of 230,000 coming in. surely we really needs to stand firm on this or would you counter? we have 112,000 vacancies in the nhs and indian doctors and nurses are quite welcome . where do you stand on that? >> well, yeah, we've got 46,000 nursing vacancies, which is about 11% of all positions and we've got 165,000 care staff vacancies . we are crying out for vacancies. we are crying out for skilled workers in those areas . skilled workers in those areas. we can't hire people here. it's not working. we can't do it at the rate we need to do it. and

also people just aren't interested. and that's absolutely fair enough. people want they're want to do other things. they're allowed to. we don't have to make people have to make people we don't have to funnel people into positions just because they're you just because they're empty. you know, genuine know, if we've got genuine trained different trained staff from different countries want and countries that want to come and work, problem? work, what is the problem? i don't issue. peter don't see the issue. peter >> is, is that, you >> the fact is, is that, you know, say we've all know, you say we've got all these vacancies. that's true. are we therefore to accept , are we therefore to accept, hoped that this government and every other government, for that matter, is essentially giving up on the british people, essentially, they're going essentially, they're not going to the right salaries to pay them the right salaries for things. they're not for these things. they're not going to train them whatever they might say. they're just going go with the endless going to go with the endless ponzi scheme of mass migration . ponzi scheme of mass migration. but it's not about money necessarily. >> peter. some people just don't want to do that work. actually because care work is so undervalued society undervalued in our society and perhaps maybe in some asian countries better value countries it's better value because people have more respect for and sick. for the elderly and the sick. and the issue. and that's the issue. >> think what we're >> no, i think what we're talking here are are talking about here are are students, who want students, people who want to come as we all

come here as students, as we all know now, this is one of the great sort of unofficial ways of basically becoming a permanent migrant until quite recently , migrant until quite recently, you could even as a student, bnngin you could even as a student, bring in family members. you could even as a student, bring in family members . what is bring in family members. what is that about ? i mean, they have that about? i mean, they have restricted it a little bit now, but not completely . so this is but not completely. so this is one way in which essentially you can become a permanent migrant. and also on top of that, remember, there are a lot of these educational establishments that are here offering places who are basically their rackets. they're not really even real universities. >> but what's fundamentally wrong? i mean, this is a question what is fundamentally wrong with having skilled workers from india come here? i mean, i say this because i'm talking about student visas , but talking about student visas, but the students are really little parts peter, you're parts of it. peter, you're missing the story missing the point. the story there there there are different there are several professions several different professions which for which the indians have asked for visas students is one visas for students is one element of it. i understand what you're saying about students, but is actually we have but the fact is actually we have foreign students coming here because universities because our universities need

propping because not propping up because we're not funded actually funded properly. so we actually need foreign need the money from foreign students. a students. why shouldn't a talented person come here and train mean, i say this, train here? i mean, i say this, i'm married an immigrant. my i'm married to an immigrant. my family immigrants. family are all immigrants. my daughter indian . you daughter is half indian. you know i don't understand is, know what i don't understand is, i mean, the reason i'm making that point is, you know, i don't understand what the problem is, keeping people out they're keeping people out if they're talented contribute talented and they contribute to the husband the economy, like my husband did, and a multi did, he he grew and sold a multi million pound business a few years and don't see why. years ago. and i don't see why. i what's problem i don't want what's the problem with lot of problems >> it's a lot of problems because this country is not just a landing strip a country is a landing strip and a country is not balance sheet. right. not just a balance sheet. right. it's culture and it's a nation it's a culture and it's a nation . right. so when talking . right. so when you're talking about immigration, i'm by your logic, nikki , that's fine that logic, nikki, that's fine that we had what was it, 600,000 net last year. why not make it 700,000? what's fundamentally wrong with having people of different colours, ethnicities, cultures and our country? >> but you've just said that. you've just said what you want to say. britain for the british people there's thing as people, there's no such thing as the people. for hundreds the british people. for hundreds of been mongrel

of years we have been a mongrel nafion of years we have been a mongrel nation made up. we've been invaded multiple times. have invaded multiple times. we have got wide ethnic mix. and got a very wide ethnic mix. and you're you're obsessed with keeping anyone brown now , keeping anyone who's brown now, is what you're saying? is that what you're saying? a mongrel peter? mongrel nation, peter? >> nicky of all, we are >> nicky first of all, we are not a mongrel nation. and secondly, might as secondly, it might come as a surprise to but we haven't surprise to you, but we haven't been right ? been invaded right? >> and haven't been invaded >> and we haven't been invaded by the romans. >> no talking race >> no one was talking about race or or those or colour or any of those things. for your information, they're all by your information. my they're all by your information. my is also an immigrant. my partner is also an immigrant. right? so >> so what's the problem with immigration then? >> the fact is, is that >> listen, the fact is, is that when you have that many people every year coming in. right. and this is a mainstream view , i this is a mainstream view, i would add 70% of the country. he feels immigration according to who? according to who they are not all bigots and racists according to who, though, peter, you've just pulled that statistic out of thin the statistic out of thin air. the fact is, is that we should be training our own people and we should be paying them the proper rate. we cannot go on with a

model, which is what this government appears to be suggesting of simply bringing in more and more people to do jobs . these vacancies, which i admit are there . but the fact is we've are there. but the fact is we've got to look to our own people here first. >> okay, peter whittle , nikki >> okay, peter whittle, nikki hodgson a lively round, round one and you'll be back round one and you'll be back for round two the following our ding two in the following our ding dong. >> @ can always rely on >> yeah, we can always rely on you now stay with us you to. now do you stay with us in next moments, in the next few moments, we'll be whether uk be discussing whether the uk rejoining science scheme rejoining the eu science scheme called horizon, is the first step us rejoining the step towards us rejoining the european union. we'll have more on that in the next hour. but first, it's hot, hot, hot outside. let's get the weather with aidan magee ivan, looks like things are heating up. >> boxed boilers , proud sponsors >> boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. of weather on. gb news. >> hi there. it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office with the gb news forecast. it's another very warm or hot day for many of us. sunny skies , yes, many of us. sunny skies, yes, but some high cloud around at times. so the sunshine rather

overnight. there was also a police presence there this morning . excuse me, but matt, morning. excuse me, but matt, sources have told gb news the operation there has now ended . operation there has now ended. and daniel radcliffe has not been found. the former soldier has been missing for two days. he disappeared from wandsworth pfison he disappeared from wandsworth prison after hiding underneath a food delivery van. more than 150 counter—terrorism investigators . others are involved in the manhunt, with the force unable to say if he's fled the country or not. former detective peter bleksley says it's getting increasingly embarrassing for authorities as all the resources of the police have so far been unable to find him . unable to find him. >> and yesterday the justice secretary, alex chalk, stood up in parliament and said very forcefully on two occasions he will be found. well as of yet, he hasn't been . so, as i say, he hasn't been. so, as i say, what started off as a massive embarrassment is now a huge and acute embarrassment and the

longer it goes on, the worse it's going to get . it's going to get. >> the chief inspector of prisons, charlie taylor, told gb news facilities need more staff i >> -- >> we inspected wandsworth in in 2022. we inspected wandsworth in 2021. both times we found that there were insufficient numbers of staff in the jail on one of those inspections, 30% were unavailable for full work . they unavailable for full work. they were either off sick or they were either off sick or they were on light duties and consequently the whole jail as we found in a number of prisons across the country, was simply creaking because there weren't enough staff. and what that meant is prisoners were locked in their cells for very long penods in their cells for very long periods of time, some breaking news to bring you. >> a ten year old boy has died after being electrocuted in blackpool . police have confirmed blackpool. police have confirmed the incident happened at tiffany's hotel on sunday night. he was taken to hospital in a critical condition but died yesterday . police have now yesterday. police have now passed the matter on to the local authority , the king and

local authority, the king and queen have arrived at a church near the balmoral estate in scotland to commemorate the life and service of the late queen elizabeth. she died almost a year ago. the king has released a favourite photo of his mother as well and his recorded a poignant message to mark the first anniversary of her death . first anniversary of her death. >> in marking the first anniversary of her late majesty's death. and my accession, we recall with great affection her long life devoted service and all she meant to so many of us. i'm deeply grateful to for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year. as we do our utmost to be of service to you all in an exclusive interview with gb news, former prime minister liz truss revealed details of her meeting with the queen two days before

she died. >> the meeting at balmoral , you >> the meeting at balmoral, you know, she was absolutely on top of what was happening. she was very , very keen to reassure me very, very keen to reassure me that we'd be meeting again soon. the assumption absolutely was that that this would be the first of many meetings the prime minister has played down the uk's chances of securing a free trade deal on his arrival in delhi for the g20 summit. >> rishi sunak says an agreement with india isn't a given nor is it top of his agenda, although he will hold further talks with prime minister narendra modi, he is expected, though, to press leaders from the world's richest nafions leaders from the world's richest nations to present a united front against russias war in ukraine. the government's original target for a free trade agreement has been missed by almost a year. but foreign secretary james cleverly says it remains a priority . remains a priority. >> india is a growing economy . >> india is a growing economy. it is increasingly going to be important economically, politically, diplomatic , politically, diplomatic, actually in years to come . and

actually in years to come. and the fact that we've already got a good relationship, an excellent relationship, in fact, is fantastic. we're looking to build on that. and india is seeking to do a trade deal with us and us seeking to do a trade deal with them for trade purposes is rather than anything else. and the advantages of trade are self—evident . eight 5 trade are self—evident. eight 5 million disposable vapes are being thrown away each week in the uk. >> research from material focus , that's a non—profit recycling organisation , even found the organisation, even found the number has quadrupled in the past year. that is the equivalent to ape vapes being discarded every second. the industry says it is working to improve recycling rates to avoid fires in bin lorries and rubbish dumps . and the uk is on track to dumps. and the uk is on track to have six days of 30 c heat or more for the first time since 2016. yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far, 32.6 recorded in surrey the previous

high was in june 30th 2.2 degrees. the met office is expecting the good weather to last until the end of this week. there's an amber warning in place until 9:00 on sunday evening in most areas of england . this is gb news across the uk on tv , on digital radio and on on tv, on digital radio and on smart. speaker two just say play gb news that's it from me. more in about half an hour's time. >> yeah. welcome back. the prime minister has arrived in india for the g20 leaders summit, hoping to finalise the details of his post—brexit trade deal with narenda modi. >> well, according to downing street, there are no plans to hand out more student visas in exchange for a free trade agreement. well, let's cross live to new delhi now, where we're joined by gb news political editor chris topher. hope very good morning to you, chris. good to see you. rishi sunak has landed in delhi. we had those pictures about an hour

ago. this is a historic trip to india for him , isn't it? india for him, isn't it? >> that's right . and it's >> that's right. and it's a personal trip for akshata . murty personal trip for akshata. murty was born in india. rishi chinook's parents are from india, were born in india. he told us on the flight over , he told us on the flight over, he told us on the flight over, he told us on the flight over, he told us on the flight over today that he many see him as india's son in law and he had been hoping to meet with prime minister narendra modi today ahead g20 starting ahead of the g20 starting tomorrow. that's been delayed till tomorrow. so number 10 will be keenly that that be hoping quite keenly that that meeting is scheduled in number 10. two us are playing down any chance of a of any movement on trade this weekend . this trade deals this weekend. this is about g20 group of is about the g20 group of leading nations talking about ukraine russia , the global ukraine and russia, the global issues not really bilateral trade deals. and they've made quite clear also that there won't be trade deal at any won't be a trade deal at any price. won't be a trade deal at any pnce. they won't be a trade deal at any price. they trying to price. and they are trying to separate out those talks. separate out in those talks. student visas from business visas. that's what the visas. and that's what the current issue is about . current issue is about. >> also chopper , there's

>> and also chopper, there's talk of rishi saying get off the fence on russia because, of course, since the war with ukraine. yeah, india has been the biggest importer of russian oil making a packet in refining it in defiance . oil making a packet in refining it in defiance. in oil making a packet in refining it in defiance . in fact, as a it in defiance. in fact, as a great beneficiary of western sanctions against russia, do you think he will talk tough or will this all be like smiling for the cameras? well we'll probably see the smiling for the cameras with any tough talk will happen behind the scenes . behind the scenes. >> and he's waiting for >> and again, he's waiting for that time to be confirmed that new time to be confirmed for the meeting narenda for the meeting with narenda modi. no question he modi. but no question he is trying to . russia is president putin. >> it looks as though we're having technical issues there with christopher hope in new delhi. we will try and reconnect with him for you, but as he was saying, this is a significant and historic trip for rishi sunak and will mean a lot to him professionally and personally . professionally and personally. obviously, being of indian heritage , he and his wife will

heritage, he and his wife will will feel an emotional family connection to that country . they connection to that country. they do have star status there in india and it has been , so to india and it has been, so to say, a difficult week at home for rishi sunak. so i think he will appreciate that warm reception there in new delhi . reception there in new delhi. but christopher hope will be there for us throughout the g20 and will bring us the latest as he has it . he has it. >> okay. moving on to our next story, the manhunt terror story, the manhunt for terror suspect daniel kalief is still underway police now saying underway with police now saying there is no trace of the former soldier and that he may have even already. even left the country already. well, comes an well, this comes as an independent investigation has been into the prison escape. >> the 21 year old escaped from wandsworth prison on wednesday morning. he was awaiting trial at london's longest operating jail after being accused of planting fake bombs at a military at a military base. >> and during . to speak further >> and during. to speak further on this now is former prisoner governor rhona hotchkiss . hello governor rhona hotchkiss. hello to you, rhona. this is now shaping up to be a cataclysmic

embarrass moment for the british prison service. so many questions to ask. why was a known terrorist transferred from a category a to a category b prisoner? there's now talk it was an inside job, seems meticulously planned . a search meticulously planned. a search in richmond park has failed to bear fruit and there's fears he may even have left the country. what's your take on this calamity ? calamity? >> well, i believe that think it might be the home office has denied that he was ever in belmarsh. now so that will no doubt come out in the next few days. doubt come out in the next few days . but it's actually easy for days. but it's actually easy for me to see how this happened . me to see how this happened. it's probably a combination of factors. the fact that he was working in the kitchen, which is unusual for a person on remand, but there may have been reasons for that . the fact that someone for that. the fact that someone in prison suspect of terrorism was was given a job like that is unusual. but the thing about this that is the most striking is that the absolute fail safe, no matter what else has happened

internally, is the security procedures that should happen in the gate and will have successfully happened for thousands of vehicles coming in and out of wandsworth prison. but that's the thing that has to be most closely looked at. >> and what's your perspective active with your experience as a former prison governor of what we're hearing? was it a catalogue of errors ? you know, catalogue of errors? you know, we had a viewer who who messaged in earlier una, who quite literally listed out the failures as they happened. and starting with that chef in the kitchen who obviously didn't do a head count of the prisoners that were working him that were working with him as that were working with him as that delivery van was sat outside, there was obviously not the underneath the van the checks underneath the van that have happened, that should have happened, should taken place, simply should have taken place, simply waved out of wandsworth prison. and your experience since, do you that is simply just a you think that is simply just a catalogue errors or could catalogue of errors or could this be indicative of an inside . job >> well, not not necessarily . i >> well, not not necessarily. i mean, you have to understand that vans and lorries come and

go all the time. this kitchen will probably had quite will probably have had quite a few deliveries at that time in the morning. and it's one of the busiest a prison busiest times for a prison kitchen. they're getting the breakfasts out. they're gearing up to start preparing the lunch for the day. it's incredibly busy time. that's one of the other reasons why it's usually quite trusted prisoners that are allowed to work in kitchens, not only these reasons, but only for these reasons, but they're working with knives. and so there's generally so on. and there's generally only about three staff, perhaps four, maybe 15 prisoners. so you have to be able to trust these people to a degree. so i don't think it's necessarily right that would have been that there would have been a head count happening for every single and went. single lorry that came and went. but for being mean, people but as for being mean, people have talked about some kind of collusion, but it would have taken collusion by quite a few people to make this happen . in people to make this happen. in relation to the planning of it. it could just have been he might have seen an opportunity and decided over the course of a couple of days that he would give it a go. there's talk that it was the plastic cover of the

mattress that he used to tie himself under the vehicle and that that would be relatively easy to do . plastic doesn't show easy to do. plastic doesn't show up in in metal detection services which prisoners go through. and it probably wouldn't even show up in a in a pat down search so that that part of it would be relatively easy to achieve. all it takes is a member of staff to turn their back for a couple of minutes and that person could have been under the van and tying themselves on rona . themselves on rona. >> professor ian acheson , a >> professor ian acheson, a former prisoner, governor and head of security at wandsworth today, was saying we need to start this investigation by saying why was this guy even allowed near the kitchen in the first place? he said, kitchen jobs are prized in prisons . they jobs are prized in prisons. they pay jobs are prized in prisons. they pay relatively well and are normally subject to strict, strict risk assessment, especially when you put felons in charge of some very big knives. now, when you add on top of that, the fact this is the known terror suspect, how on earth was this young man allowed

a job with knives and access to the outside world? >> yeah. so apparently he was classified as low risk to the public. i also haven't seen anything that said this man has anything that said this man has a history of violence . strangely a history of violence. strangely enough. i know there's the thing about the fake bombs and the information, but he has no history of violence or using weapons. so that would have been a . but the strangest a factor. but the strangest thing that a remand thing for me is that a remand prisoner in the kitchen at prisoner was in the kitchen at all. i perhaps it would be all. i think perhaps it would be interesting, perhaps this man, he a squaddie. perhaps he he was a squaddie. perhaps he has catering experience in the army. again these things will all out. can understand . all come out. i can understand. and that they were struggling and that if they were struggling to prisoners who have useful to get prisoners who have useful skills, perhaps they overlooked his remand status. if he did have if he didn't have. i find it a very strange decision indeed. >> i mean, it's quite striking, actually. this morning, reading through the papers , the number through the papers, the number of former prison officers and talking about how they're they're not surprised by this.

they have spoken for years about the conditions within the uk's prisons. they talk about the understaffed wing and the overcrowding and especially when it comes to wandsworth prison. this has been something that's been spoken about and blown the whistle on it for several years now. what was your reaction when you first heard the news? >> well, i think there's a lot to be credited in that if you have an overpopulated prison thatis have an overpopulated prison that is also understaffed, something's got to give. it's like that. this mistake has been made before as well. but it's just that there was nobody hidden under a van to exploit it . and so i think it's about making sure that the people working in the security end of the prison are properly trained, that the problem is that these people will be doing dozens people will be doing this dozens of day . and the more of times a day. and the more often you do a routine task, the easier it becomes to overlook a crucial aspect of it, because that's the way human beings operate. it's like when you drive home from work, sometimes you get home you think,

you get home and you think, well, remember driving well, i don't remember driving your of your brain goes into sort of automatic pilot and sometimes it misses things. so this may just have been a genuine mistake at the end of a process that somebody was smart enough to try and exploit it. >> rhona hotchkiss, former prison governor, thank you very much. excellent analysis. thanks for joining us today. >> thank you. thank you . how >> thank you. thank you. how valuable is it to have that sort of analysis from inside prison walls with that amount of experience ? it can just answer experience? it can just answer the questions as why was the questions such as why was kalief in in the kitchen with knives? i mean, the questions we're this morning and we're asking this morning and it's just staggering say what it's just staggering to say what he may had, former catering experience. >> we also experience making >> we also had experience making bombs. earth bombs. i mean, why on earth would i know? would what do i know? >> access to >> why would you get access to an receiving delivery trucks? >> i know, i know. as you >> i know, i know. but as you said morning, it is common said this morning, it is common sense, it? it looked as sense, isn't it? it looked as though common sense was perhaps lacking wandsworth prison on lacking at wandsworth prison on wednesday. let us know what wednesday. do let us know what you make of that story or indeed any the stories talking any of the stories we're talking about vaiews@gbnews.com. any of the stories we're talking aboyeah. vaiews@gbnews.com. any of the stories we're talking aboyeah. stillibviews@gbnews.com. any of the stories we're talking aboyeah. still to iews@gbnews.com. any of the stories we're talking aboyeah. still to come,]bnews.com. any of the stories we're talking aboyeah. still to come, are ews.com. any of the stories we're talking aboyeah. still to come, are we com. >> yeah. still to come, are we seeing brexit betrayal before

our eyes as the uk is set to rejoin the eu's horizon scheme? but first, it's your weather with aidan mcgivern the temperatures rising, boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hi there. >> hi there. >> it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office with the gb news forecast. it's another very warm or hot day for many of us. sunny skies, but some high cloud skies, yes, but some high cloud around at times. so the sunshine rather weak from time to time, particularly out towards western areas. we've got low pressure still swirling around the still swirling around to the west uk, drawing up all west of the uk, drawing up all this and humidity from the this heat and humidity from the south. still got some low south. we've still got some low cloud lingering around the east coast, tending to be coast, but tending to be restricted to the immediate coast and some mistiness around some south western coasts as well. otherwise skies, high cloud around , yes, but also cloud around, yes, but also temperatures rising once again into the mid to high 20s widely 30, 31 celsius. i suspect the

high across central and southeastern areas. that's a degree or so down compared with thursday. however the weekend is looking hotter and as we go into friday night, there's always the chance of some thunderstorms breaking out across parts of western england , into wales, western england, into wales, northern well , and northern ireland as well, and western . and any western scotland. and any thunderstorms will be very hit and miss. for many, it's a dry night with clear spells and another warm night with once again temperatures staying in the high teens widely across the uk. now we start off saturday with fair amounts of cloud across some western and northern areas. certainly an increasing cloud across northwest scotland with a breeze picking up here, making it feel cool with some outbreaks of rain elsewhere, the heat rises once again, 32 or 33 celsius. but some serious thunderstorms developing as well i >> -- >> the temperatures rising , boxt >> the temperatures rising, boxt solar proud sponsors of weather

on

britain's news. channel >> it's 1123. welcome back to britain's newsroom on gb news with myself, martin dalby and of course, costello . course, ellie costello. >> so many views coming in this morning. much for morning. thank you so much for your . we had a really, your company. we had a really, really emotional interview earlier about childhood earlier talking about childhood cancen earlier talking about childhood cancer. and we spoke to a mother who had lost her daughter, sophie, who just sounds like the most remarkable and beautiful little it was charlotte

little girl. it was charlotte farrell about her farrell talking about her daughter , sophie morning. daughter, sophie this morning. susan has said charlotte speaking about her little girl and her courage and her bravery , the most moving , was one of the most moving interviews that i have seen interviews that i have ever seen on tv . where on earth do these on tv. where on earth do these amazing people come from? they are sent from somewhere special. >> . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and for those who didn't see it, confess i. i got a it, i must confess i. i got a lump in my throat, and i sort of lost it a bit . richard noticed lost it a bit. richard noticed that sending hugs to you, martin to man to man . that sending hugs to you, martin to man to man. having that sending hugs to you, martin to man to man . having a that sending hugs to you, martin to man to man. having a hug. beautiful. it's so lovely to see someone so human and real on the show. not afraid to show your emotions. well, you know , as emotions. well, you know, as i said, my neighbours son has has terminal cancer and it's just every every parent's worst nightmare . and i think that's nightmare. and i think that's what gets you. it's like you want to keep your own children safe and the vulnerability of childhood young is childhood taken away so young is just seems desperately, just seems so desperately, desperately sophie's desperately unfair. but sophie's legacy, something really legacy, doing something really positive about it. but the local mp, yes. mp, ms dinnage yes. >> john has been such saying watching sophie mum is really

emotional. we lost our son in march. it wasn't to cancer, but it is a different level of grief. and as i write this, i've got a lump in my throat. i really do hope that charlotte gets sophie's wish . really beautiful. >> and as a change of pace, as nikki hodgson and peter whittle had a big old ding dong about increasing student visas to india , which point nikki hodgson india, which point nikki hodgson called britain a mongrel nation in which got a few of you going, including david out there saying thank the lord. nikki isn't in a position of authority. people like her that were destroy british culture for the sake of diversity . diversity. >> and steve says a mongrel nafion >> and steve says a mongrel nation . her arguments take no nation. her arguments take no account our country as it is account of our country as it is today. whether we were occupied, occupied by romans or vikings has relevance to has absolutely no relevance to our current city situation. and we do have peter and nikki back with us at 1145. so do not miss that. there will be fireworks again , i am sure. and also had again, i am sure. and also had a few of you getting in touch on the horizon program, didn't we?

>> martin that's right. >> martin that's right. >> that's our next topic. ben habib sat to he's habib is sat next to me. he's ready off on horizon. ready to kick off on horizon. that's uk rejoining the eu's that's the uk rejoining the eu's flagship scientific research campaign. £2 billion a year for the privileged dallas has this, as far as i'm concerned . this as far as i'm concerned. this move by the tories confirms that neither main political party can be trusted not to realign with the eu by small, be trusted not to realign with the eu by small , stealthy steps. the eu by small, stealthy steps. brexit has not been delivered until we terminate all and any eu control all. >> well, that's delia's opinion there. but supporters argue that it allows the uk access to an £81 billion fund. but critics like delia point out that it will cost £2.2 billion a year to join and they fear that it could be the first step towards the uk rejoining the european union . rejoining the european union. well, as we said, we're joined now by businessman and former mep ben habib. very, very good to see you this morning, ben. and that is , i'm sure, how you and that is, i'm sure, how you would feel this is that first step to britain.

>> what is a nation's future if it isn't? >> it's intellectual knowhow and but before i answer the political aspects of horizon europe, can i just recap what honzon europe, can i just recap what horizon europe is? >> because i don't think many people, including those who negotiated the deal, seem to know precisely what it is. so horizon europe, like most eu projects, is a wealth redistribution programme , taking redistribution programme, taking money from member states , money from member states, pooung money from member states, pooling it together and then effectively handing it back at its discretion to the member states from which it took the money. but in this case it is for research programmes and the ostensible case made as you as you set out , is that by the you set out, is that by the pooung you set out, is that by the pooling of research, by the pooung pooling of research, by the pooling of research, by the pooling of knowledge, we're all better for off it. and that's about the best thing you can say about the best thing you can say about horizon europe . the next about horizon europe. the next thing that is critical to understand is that horizon europe's unasur named open aim

is the promotion of eu interests and eu policies. it's right up there on the front of horizon europe's website. so anyone who doesn't believe me should click on horizon europe now and have a look. so we are effectively giving our money to the eu to in order to bid to get our money back. so that we can do research that benefit . it's the eu. we that benefit. it's the eu. we didn't brexit in order to do research for their benefit . we research for their benefit. we brexited for british national interests and how many universities do you think by the way, in europe , in the european way, in europe, in the european union, are in the top ten in the world? go on. none. none and we've got three. oxford cambridge and imperial college . cambridge and imperial college. we're a leader in research . we we're a leader in research. we don't need eu knowhow now and we can distribute our own capital just as well as they can for us. >> but surely, ben , devil's >> but surely, ben, devil's advocate would say it's strategic logically and economically and geographic .

economically and geographic. most sensible to align scientific research with our nearest partners to tackle as they would put it, global challenges . challenges. >> but why would you give up your own cash to another entity? have you to bid to get that cash back or to do to do the bidding of the entity to which you gave it in the first place? we are, as that was it darren who said that this is a step back towards the eu? of course it's a big step back to the eu, but the other thing has been other thing that has been apparently completely lost in the media is that just before we signed the trade and cooperation agreement, is the agreement, which is the agreement, which is the agreement boris johnson agreement that boris johnson signed trade with the eu and signed for trade with the eu and which contemplates us joining horizon europe, it was in the trade and cooperation agreement that we made the commitment to join before we signed that join just before we signed that agreement . they shoehorned the agreement. they shoehorned the eu shoehorn the european defence fund into the eu army. the research facility support ing eu military progression written

granddad, leonard hubbard, the royal clock winder, who was once bitten by the queen's corgi in the 1950s. but he cherished that bite. oh stephen, that is that is a great anecdote. >> thank you so much for sharing that. and please do continue sharing your memories and your reflections this anniversary reflections on this anniversary . well, we're joined now by david starkey, who is a friend of the program, historian and royal broadcaster as well . royal broadcaster as well. >> good morning to you. good morning, ali. >> what are your reflections one year on from that day ? year on from that day? >> the strange sense of surprise we all knew she was very ill. >> there were, in fact , we >> there were, in fact, we shouldn't really be talking about this. there were very strong rumours in london that she was fatally ill . but somehow she was fatally ill. but somehow the moment of death, nevertheless was a surprise, which i think is the ultimate tribute to her. but she was always there , for she was this always there, for she was this increasingly diminutive little figure in the bright clothes, but always there. and the remark

that i think we should all be reflecting on, it's by somebody that i wouldn't normally quote who was not a friend of the program on the other side politically, danny finkelstein talking about his mother, who was a refugee from the terrors of eastern europe . and she said of eastern europe. and she said when she'd been settled in britain for a little time, so long as the queen is safe in buckingham palace , yes, i am buckingham palace, yes, i am safe in west hendon in other words, the queen symbol ised everything that we should value about our country. everything that we should value about our country . okay, everything that we should value about our country. okay, i'm prejudiced. i'm a historian, anne, but we have this unique ability to both change and not change that wonderful phrase. the centre really holds here. and she was that centre and i think that what i would like to see with all the talk about the modernisation of the monarchy and the changes that the king wishes to make, that he remembers that, that the

monarchy is the final guarantor of continuity, stable ability, everything. for example , that everything. for example, that america lacked with that terrible transfer from trump to biden, when the see the extraordinary thought because of course at exactly the time the queen died, we had this extraordinary confused politics of liz trump and liz trump . liz of liz trump and liz trump. liz truss, let's get in the right way round of liz truss of johnson . this complete johnson. this complete circulation of prime ministers. did it matter here? well, yes. politically but not in terms of our stability . our stability. >> she she was a constant in all of our lives. and as john has said this morning, the queen was everything british and she really, really was. i know many people will be watching those footage and the pictures today with a very heavy heart. really good to see you this morning. david you much david starkey, thank you so much for reflections on for sharing your reflections on what such a poignant what is such a poignant anniversary . anniversary. >> yeah, as mentioned there, >> yeah, and as mentioned there, the minister,

be the first of many meetings , be the first of many meetings, but her frailty in the photograph concerned ministers . photograph concerned ministers. >> the mark on her late majesty's hand was noticed by the then chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, nadhim zahawi, who was due to be virtually sworn in to the privy council by the queen on the 7th of september. >> we were, as a new cabinet, instructed that we will all be sworn in via video link at and just before that time we were told she won't be on video. it'll be only on the spider phone. >> everybody was there sort of waiting around and we waited for a few minutes and then when the news arrived that that the queen would no longer be able to do the meeting and that was the first i heard of it. but clearly, it was a very ominous sign. >> thank you, mr speaker. and can i thank the first to the outside world, knew something was wrong, came via the house of commons when nadhim zahawi handed the minister

handed the prime minister a note, the first of many hastily handed around the chamber. >> liz truss already aware the queen was gravely ill, did not know how quickly her majesty was fading. the palace will be putting out a statement that i rushed to the prime minister's office in parliament to effectively begin to agree with the palace , a form of words for the palace, a form of words for the palace, a form of words for the prime minister. >> if the statement was to go out whilst the prime minister was still in the chamber and that's what i took into the chamber , i took in a handwritten chamber, i took in a handwritten note the palace delayed the statement that the queen's doctors were concerned for her health until liz truss was back in downing street. >> meanwhile, members of the royal family were on their way to the queen's bedside . at 3:10, to the queen's bedside. at 3:10, britain's longest reigning monarch passed away. news was secretly sent to the capital,

london bridge had fallen , had to london bridge had fallen, had to close the door where myself and my chief of staff had a sort of our own tearful moment, our queen, who who's been on the throne for 70 years, the absolute backdrop to our lives is now gone . in operation london is now gone. in operation london bridge swung into action and heads of government and commonwealth realms were informed . informed. >> 25 minutes to seven. and buckingham palace has indeed confirmed in the last few moments that her majesty queen elizabeth. the second has died . elizabeth. the second has died. >> broadcaster alastair stewart is marking the moment in history. >> i did genuinely find it very emotional reading it out, not only because of the burden of responsible duty on my shoulders, but on the shoulders of the entire team at gb news and those who were kind enough to be watching us and listening

to be watching us and listening to us. >> queen elizabeth, the second was the rock on which modern britain was built. our country has grown and flourished under her reign . britain has grown and flourished under her reign. britain is the has grown and flourished under her reign . britain is the great her reign. britain is the great country it is today because of her a life of devoted service is that will never be forgotten . that will never be forgotten. >> cameron walker, gb news really is such a significant anniversary, isn't it? >> for me, it's so touching heanng >> for me, it's so touching hearing politicians actually talking about their own tearful moments , hearing that news. moments, hearing that news. that's really struck me this morning. do let us know what you make of that gbviews@gbnews.com, we're joined by our star panel, author and commentator nick hodgson and director of the new culture forum, peter whittle . culture forum, peter whittle. and prince harry is in london. actually for this significant anniversary . he's here in anniversary. he's here in london. he was at the wellchild awards last night making comments about late queen, comments about the late queen, including that she was looking

down on us all and is happy that we are together. what did you make those comments, peter? make of those comments, peter? >> i hoped that she is >> well, i hoped that she is i wish that harry was not such as it were. you know, semi—detached voice . now, i much prefer the voice. now, i much prefer the message of the king, which i thought was elegant and just about every element in about five lines. i think it's extraordinary. i'm very, very pleased that it's actually being marked in such a serious way today. i remember when we heard that she died and i think this is going to be one of those instances where people say, where were you when you heard, well, when queen died, well, when the queen had died, i was actually . was filming in rome, actually. and the new culture forum . and for the new culture forum. and for the new culture forum. and had we were in the bar and we had we were in the bar afterwards and they said the queen's gone . and so we gave her queen's gone. and so we gave her a toast . and then i thought, i'd a toast. and then i thought, i'd rather like to do a message or something on the video. so the hotel manager gave me his black tie to put on and, and the point

is, is that they say she had just as much resonance for the for the italians. she was the queen actually , she was our queen actually, she was our queen. but she was also the queen. i mean, everyone knew who you talked about when you mentioned the queen, wherever you were in the world, and that would be it's very, very hard act to follow. yeah. >> and nikki , is that is that >> and nikki, is that is that sense of continuity, like my kids had only ever known the queen and made me realise i'd only ever known the queen, you know, from when was seven. in know, from when i was seven. in 77, always been there. it's so important to mark these moments , but i wonder if prince harry saying we're happy that we're all together. it's really helping. he's not made the family come together, has he? in fact, he's part of the problem. didn't he add to the her majesty's misery in her final years? >> oh, i don't know if you can say i mean, this is just. say that. i mean, this is just. isn't just grandson isn't this just a grandson saying, you i remember my saying, you know, i remember my granny. year. i'm granny. it's been a year. i'm sad she's gone. whatever

sad that she's gone. whatever you think about the rift between prince the rest of the prince harry and the rest of the royal, he's still royal, you know, he's still human. i think he's just expressing. yeah just expressing that, wanted that, that he wanted people to know that he is part of know that he still is part of that family, even if they've fallen know , he may be fallen out. you know, he may be a strange, but still part a strange, but he's still part of family. and families do of that family. and families do fall for many fall out sometimes for many years. you people years. you know, people can be a strange for 20, 30 years and sometimes they they repair sometimes they they can repair those think those bonds. so i just think it's going some time. it's going to take some time. >> those comments did a >> those comments did ruffle a lot though, didn't lot of feathers, though, didn't they, so they, peter? because there is so much love the late queen much love for the late queen elizabeth. second, elizabeth. the second, obviously, much obviously, there's so much protection, from the protection, i think, from the british people towards her. yes, many upset many people were upset that prince the need to prince harry felt the need to talk about her in way when talk about her in that way when they perceived that caused they perceived that he caused her much her so much pain. >> quite right. mean, the fact >> quite right. i mean, the fact is, wasn't a falling out is, it wasn't a falling out tends to suggest a kind of, you know, evenhanded both sides of the they just, the argument. they just, i think, behaved treacherously . think, behaved treacherously. and can you imagine what it must have been like for her in the last years? and i think i think meghan harry said meghan markle is sorry she can't be there in

which case she's the only one that's sorry because i wouldn't really want to see her here now. i think they've behaved appallingly. i think they've behaved appallingly . maybe you might appallingly. maybe you might think this isn't the time to sort of start making these remarks , but i think , frankly, remarks, but i think, frankly, we should ignore them from now on. just ignore these people. >> yeah, that's a great way to leave it. peter whittle , nicky leave it. peter whittle, nicky hilton, thank you very much. superb show today. thank you very much. yes thank you very, very much. yes thank you very, very much. >> and thank you for your company for your views this company and for your views this morning. we've really, really loved and sharing it loved this show and sharing it with you morning. britain's with you this morning. britain's newsroom back monday at newsroom is back on monday at 930. up next is the 930. but coming up next is the live desk with mark longhurst and tomson. pip is here and pip tomson. and pip is here to tell us all about it. good morning pip. morning to you, pip. >> hello there . in the next few >> hello there. in the next few moments, we will be taking you live park for a 41 gun live to hyde park for a 41 gun salute to mark the first anniversary of the king's accession to the throne. that is the live picture now as they
