1:24 pm
respects alone. in other royal news, caribbean countries are set to formally demand reparations from the royal family a representative for the island says . king charles should island says. king charles should make some money available to amend for his family's role in the slave trade. well, joining me now is royal commentator richard fitzwilliams. good afternoon to you, richard . on afternoon to you, richard. on this wonderful sunday afternoon . let's start with the clown prince, shall we? so here he is once again flying solo. and this week at the wellchild awards had the temerity to say the queen is looking down on us and she is happy. we are together . happy. we are together. >> well, i would say, obviously that i think harry was very fond of his visit , visiting her grave of his visit, visiting her grave in the chapel at windsor georges chapel. >> this was, i think, most significant . and she's buried significant. and she's buried
1:25 pm
there with . her husband. and there with. her husband. and also parents. but they is also no question that king charles in commemorated the day the anniversary of his accession but also so the late queen's death privately . and i think that was privately. and i think that was sensible because on an occasion like that you really need to be surrounded by those you trust and i fear there's absolutely no question that the rift in the royal family is very substantial . it's very public since harry's memoir spare led to his and meghan's eviction from frogmore cottage , which is their base in cottage, which is their base in britain. we don't know where he stayed, or at least i don't when he here. there's there is no he was here. there's there is no possibility , as i see it, of possibility, as i see it, of reconciliation in the coming penod. period. >> anyway, i agree with that. and he certainly is acting like
1:26 pm
a spare something at a wedding at the moment. moving on to the second on the menu today, second topic on the menu today, this of slavery this notion of slavery reparations a sense, it's an reparations in a sense, it's an impending disaster that the king hasianed impending disaster that the king has invited upon himself. he opened this conversation ocean and now i'll girl a lawyer. representative of the chair islands reparations commission in the caribbean is saying he should make some money available. we're not saying you should his should starve himself and his family, not asking for family, but we're not asking for trinkets , either. what trinkets either, either. what kind of sums of money could we be about and be talking about here? and should this should we even go down this route ? route? >> well, firstly, i mean, there is no doubt that we are going to go down this particular tree because in the past, the canbbean because in the past, the caribbean nation at the moment, they are set to recognise wise king charles as. they used to go through or the intergovernmental ways of getting the issue of
1:27 pm
reparations. now now following on, i mean the trevelyan family of bbc journalist and numerous aristocratic families , as aristocratic families, as reported, have been apparently offering reparation options of certain types . this is very certain types. this is very central, probably to whether or not these countries rich main realms or or become republics. it ought to be mentioned. barbados became a republic, but then it could also be mentioned that barbados did not have a referendum. so they didn't put it to the people and whether the people in the various countries, including jamaica , belize, saint including jamaica, belize, saint kitts and others , would actually kitts and others, would actually vote for a republic is of course not known. but the issue , the not known. but the issue, the central issue of slavery , which central issue of slavery, which king charles expressed grave horror over when in rwanda at the recent chungam, and also when in barbados when they
1:28 pm
became a republic. there's no question at all that it is hypersensitive . hypersensitive. >> richard fitzwilliams, thank you for joining >> richard fitzwilliams, thank you forjoining us on gb news sunday. got a quick line of breaking news for you here. daniel khalife has been charged with custody at with escaping custody at wandsworth prison. kalief was arrested on a towpath near railroad road, northolt, on saturday, yesterday, 9th of september, following a policing operation led by officers from the met's counter terrorism command. now let's return to my panel to the previous topic, if we could, gentlemen. the notion of slavery, reparations from the royal family to the caribbean nafion royal family to the caribbean nation , as aaron bastani, i want nation, as aaron bastani, i want to start with you. >> well, it's interesting what kind of sum would be appropriate ? they don't want trinkets, but they you know, they don't they want you know, they don't want bankrupt prince charles want to bankrupt prince charles ehhen want to bankrupt prince charles either. his own either. i think from his own personal which includes personal estates, which includes obviously the duchy of cornwall and some parts the uk and some other parts of the uk too. i think over the course of his lifetime between him and his mother, took about £12 mother, they took about £12 billion. terms of income
1:29 pm
billion. so in terms of income not selling off assets or whatever, that's the kind of that's the kind of ballpark we're in. but jamaica is a big country. you know, we're talking millions millions of people. millions and millions of people. so i don't quite know what they mean . you know, a trinket might mean. you know, a trinket might be presumably paying for students across the west indies to study at uk universities, something like that. >> that might be quite commendable , but that doesn't commendable, but that doesn't sound like it's really the sound like it's really in the ballpark various quote ballpark of what various quote unquote stakeholders in the canbbean unquote stakeholders in the caribbean looking for. yeah. caribbean are looking for. yeah. >> ben, when you look >> and ben, when you look to california introduced california, which introduced its so—called bill, they were so—called sin bill, they were looking as much as looking at figures as much as $1.2 million person. the $1.2 million per person. the latest valuation on that was $14 trillion. i mean, i mean, these figures are like, what, sort of six times the british national debt? >> well, yeah. i mean, that's just absurd . 14 trillion. that's just absurd. 14 trillion. that's 70% of the united states gdp. yeah. you know , but i feel very yeah. you know, but i feel very strongly about this subject . i strongly about this subject. i think there is a propensity , think there is a propensity, certainly in the political

1:34 pm
developing nations to india, which has 21 of the world's 30 most polluted cities and is the world's third biggest polluters. isn't this a bit rich? and anyhow , shouldn't charity begin anyhow, shouldn't charity begin at home? >> well, that's one way of putting it. >> i mean, i would argue that rishi sunak has decided in making this the biggest contribution. it's done thus far to the green climate fund . he's to the green climate fund. he's putting his money where his mouth is or rather, i do have to concede our money where his mouth . but i mean, look, this mouth is. but i mean, look, this is a global problem throughout this entire summer, we've seen an unprecedented level of freak scary and sometimes potentially catastrophic weather events. very clearly, climate change is coming at us and coming out as a jolly sight faster than we thought . so i would jolly sight faster than we thought. so i would i would come back to the old tesco slogan here every little helps. >> yeah, but it's not little, is it? £1.6 billion. it's actually quite a chunk. it's quite a wedge. and i think a lot of people, peter, will be will be asking the question. there are
1:35 pm
many manifest we could many manifest ways we could spending this domestically dunng spending this domestically during a cost of living crisis and i think you made a very valid point there. this is rishi's , but he's rishi's pet project, but he's paying rishi's pet project, but he's paying for this pet project with our dosh. people have shown , for our dosh. people have shown, for example, with the ulez scheme and with the by—election in uxbridge, they don't like this sort of when they're given the choice. do you think this will land? britain ? well, land? well, in britain? well, it's an interesting question that i mean, i would argue that climate change is an inconvenient truth. >> inconvenient truth is >> another inconvenient truth is the fact that it's going to cost andifs the fact that it's going to cost and it's cost us all. and it's going to cost us all. deari and it's going to cost us all. dear i mean, that said, when we consider rishi sunak's other negotiations over a trade deal with the with with india, remember it has now overtaken us as the fifth largest economy in the world. if he's going softly, softly , softly, softly , softly, softly, softly, something monkey at this stage softly, softly, catchee monkey get there. in the end he's
1:36 pm
going. he's going carefully with that at this stage. but if he manages to pull it off with with an economy the size of india , an economy the size of india, then it would do, i think, a noticeable amount to actually redress the economic damage that has been inflicted by brexit and is a hell of a feather in his cap . cap. >> peter spencer, thank you for joining us. always a pleasure. never a chore. let's get back to our panel now, they our panel now, see what they make brexit party make of this former brexit party mep ben habib and co—founder of novara media, aram bastani. ben i'm going to start you i'm going to start with you because you're grinding your teeth a powder during that . teeth to a powder during that. it's a lot of it's a lot of dosh to be chucking around on the world stage when many people think really feeling think we're really feeling the pinch. a huge pinch. in britain, it's a huge amount pump into as amount of money to pump into as amount of money to pump into as a reaction to modi's request. >> remember , £1.6 billion is >> remember, £1.6 billion is a third of 1% of the of the lowest rate of tax in this country. income tax that could go into people's pockets . we spent 3.7
1:37 pm
people's pockets. we spent 3.7 billion from international aid budget last year looking after illegal migrants in this country . we spent £5 billion on the war against russia in ukraine. that adds up roughly to about 10 billion. if i've got my numbers right, that's 2% off the basic rate of tax. we keep getting told government finances are stretched and yet the government has all this cash to chuck around . now, peter spencer came around. now, peter spencer came at this debate with a whole load of presumption as if it was fact like climate change is an established reality that we've had freak fires which are as a result of climate change. i think one of the other topics we're going to be discussing later is of those fires later is a lot of those fires that we've been have been promoted us through the press promoted to us through the press and media as relating to climate change. we're actually triggered by poor forest management and by people deliberately starting fires. and we all knew that because anyone who looked at the weather report and roads, when those wretched were taking weather report and roads, when those would ed were taking weather report and roads, when those would have were taking weather report and roads, when those would have noticed taking weather report and roads, when those would have noticed the ng place would have noticed the temperature. there was only
1:38 pm
30 c. it wasn't up at the 45 degrees you would have needed for it. no, this is rishi sunak chucking money. our money at his pet project, trying to keep modi sweet. and while i'm on that, you know, modi needs to be called out. modi is breaching our sanctions , taking advantage our sanctions, taking advantage of our sanctions against russia to do cosy deals for india to ennch to do cosy deals for india to enrich himself. we've already given india £2 billion in aid over the last few years. and as peter said, it's the fifth largest economy in the world. this is rishi sunak sidling up to modi in a way which he shouldn't be doing as british prime minister. and i have to say this to martin, you've got to bring rishi sunak's motives into question . his wife declared into question. his wife declared herself to be a non—dom and part of being a non—dom is having to state where you wish to eventually settle . and she put eventually settle. and she put india down on her non—dom status . this guy has a lot of connections with india, including a wife that eventually
1:39 pm
wants to go back to india . wants to go back to india. >> okay. aaron bastani well, a few points of disagreement, perhaps with with ben. >> so i think climate change is a huge think a huge issue. i think fortunately britain is going to be from many of its worst be immune from many of its worst effects. think at some point effects. i think at some point in century going in this century we're going to see problems see mass of problems with regards to crop yields, with regards to crop yields, with regards to crop yields, with regards to access to drinking water in places like south asia and whatnot. park that for a moment. so i think it's a huge issue.i moment. so i think it's a huge issue. i would also say with regards this, a huge regards to this, it is a huge amount don't really amount of money. i don't really think it . i think we should be paying it. i certainly don't think we should think we should be paying it. i cerpayingion't think we should think we should be paying it. i cerpayingion't tiindia e should think we should be paying it. i cerpayingion't tiindia whenjld think we should be paying it. i cerpayingion't tiindia when it's be paying aid to india when it's got its own space program, very cost efficient. by the way. i think somebody they think they sent somebody they sent a vehicle to the moon for less than i think chelsea paid for havertz, tells you for kai havertz, which tells you that's that's you do that's really that's how you do pubuc that's really that's how you do public to moon. public spending to the moon. that's really good public spending, really efficient pubuc spending, really efficient public when public spending, which when we learn so learn something from them. so i you know, agree with all of you know, i agree with all of that. you know, i agree with all of that . but what would is, that. but what i would say is, particularly regards to the that. but what i would say is, partichlimate regards to the that. but what i would say is, partichlimate fund,ards to the that. but what i would say is, partichlimate fund, isis to the that. but what i would say is, partichlimate fund, is that the that. but what i would say is, partichlimate fund, is that this that. but what i would say is, pea ichlimate fund, is that this that. but what i would say is, pea public ate fund, is that this that. but what i would say is, pea public private d, is that this that. but what i would say is, pea public private initiative.this is a public private initiative. so is that so the point here is that taxpayer the taxpayer funds from around the world pay into this fund , which
1:40 pm
world pay into this fund, which allows the private sector to come in. so you're basically leveraging public funds to attract crowding in from private investors, private capital. so i think there's a bit more to it than that. i think the default, but them but then that allows them to green wash their corporate. but then that allows them to greyabsolutely. ir corporate. but then that allows them to greyabsolutely. exactly rate. but then that allows them to greyabsolutely. exactly tax. but then that allows them to greyabsolutely. exactly tax break anyway. >> exactly. it's very similar to esg . so i the of esg. so i think the sort of default is is leftist default is this is a leftist agenda. the agenda. why are the conservatives it? but like conservatives doing it? but like esg, actually, this is about a fundamental in what fundamental shift in what capitalism looks like in the 21st century. and i mean , i 21st century. and i mean, i think ben's right to bring up rishi's , let's say, commitments rishi's, let's say, commitments to places which aren't the united kingdom . i think that's united kingdom. i think that's a reasonable thing to say. i'd also say his commitments to people that he used to work alongside in the of london alongside in the city of london people whatnot , that they are bank and whatnot, that they are very much invested literally in the success of these kinds of projects because it consists in the taxpayer . joe bloggs the taxpayer. joe bloggs basically making sure they make money and certainly don't lose it. >> ben habib on a slightly different point, if the public were allowed to vote on all of
1:41 pm
this, if they were actually given a choice of net zero by 2050 or not, how do you think that will go? >> i think they overwhelmingly vote against it. we all know that net zero as being at least in the way it's being delivered by this government is hugely inflationary. it's all hitting us in our pockets all the way from fuel taxes to having to insulate our homes in order to comply with regulations that come in in 2027. and by the way, if we sell our homes without the requisite certificates in 2027, we also now know there's a potential to go to jail, which i'm sure you're aware that, you know, in the new energy act and no mervyn king, lord mervyn king said yesterday that the most inflationary policy adopted by the conservative government was this drive to net zero. and i hasten to add, the method by which we are getting to net zero. there are better ways of doing it, like championing nuclear fuel, like making sure the north sea produces fossil
1:42 pm
fuels for our needs until renewable energy can catch up. but actually, what we've done is economically and emasculate ourselves in the pursuit of this ideology before we've got the technology to seamlessly give effect to it. and that's the problem. >> you're speaking so much common sense, it will never catch on. we're going to have to leave it there. loads more yet, though, on today's show, including khan, be including sadiq khan, could be blocked bid for a third blocked in his bid for a third term mayor guess term as london mayor by guess who? corbyn. because new who? jeremy corbyn. because new polling has shown that if the former labour leader the former labour leader entered the race an independent race as an independent candidate, he help push candidate, he could help push the to victory by the tories to victory by splitting the left wing vote . so splitting the left wing vote. so the big question is, is corbyn in the tories secret weapon ? he in the tories secret weapon? he wasn't 2019, that's for sure . wasn't 2019, that's for sure. all of that and more to come. i'm martin daubney and you're watching. listen gb news, watching. and listen to gb news, britain's news
1:46 pm
isabel monday to thursdays from . six till 930 . . six till 930. >> welcome back to gb news sunday with me, martin daubney on your tv online and on your digital radio. next topic of today is a juicy one. sadiq khan could be blocked in his bid for a third term as london mayor by none other than jeremy corbyn. the man is back as new polling has found that if corbyn entered the race as an independent candidate, he could help push the to victory by the tories to victory by splitting the left wing vote. more than 1 in 5 of voters who backed khan in the last mayoral election now say they would vote for corbyn as well. joining me
1:47 pm
now is labour commentator james mathewson . james, now is labour commentator james mathewson .james, good now is labour commentator james mathewson . james, good afternoon mathewson. james, good afternoon to you on this. sunny sunday. well, jeremy corbyn, he's back . well, jeremy corbyn, he's back. >> oh, please, mark. no need to give me ptsd. if you start singing that . singing that. >> yeah, it's a it's a it is an old a tale as old as time. >> it's almost becoming, isn't it? we're talking about jeremy corbyn. we're talking about the left the labour party trying left of the labour party trying to destroy chances and to destroy its own chances and trying to eat itself as is its tradition. unfortunately >> but corbyn was exiled. he's been obviously very unhappy about that. he's a perpetual thorn in the side of the labour party and keir starmer. thorn in the side of the labour party and keir starmer . you can party and keir starmer. you can see that the idea has a very machiavellian merit for him to come back and serve up a dish cold to get labour out, to get particularly see sadiq khan out. yeah i mean i would say one thing about jeremy corbyn is i don't think he's very machiavellian, whatever people may think jeremy and people
1:48 pm
may think of jeremy and people have their opinions certainly expressed in 2017, 2019. >> anybody who meets jeremy, anybody who interacts with him knows that he's not machiavellian and do think he is as spiteful as being motivated purely on that basis. but there will be people around you very loyal to whom will be saying exactly , exactly what's to hear, exactly, exactly what's to hear, which is this is your chance to kind of remain relevant voice for the left in britain going forward . forward. >> okay. james mathewson , we're >> okay. james mathewson, we're going to have to leave it there. that's fantastic food for thought. let's get back to my panel here, see they panel here, see what they make of brexit party mep, of that former brexit party mep, of that former brexit party mep, of habib and of course, ben habib and co—founder of novara media, aaron bastani hour and half, co—founder of novara media, aastart astani hour and half, co—founder of novara media, aastart with1i hour and half, co—founder of novara media, aa start with you ur and half, co—founder of novara media, aa start with you .r and half, co—founder of novara media, aa start with you . it's d half, co—founder of novara media, aastart with you . it's a half, co—founder of novara media, aastart with you . it's a storyf, to start with you. it's a story that's almost too good to be true, isn't it? yeah. the fact that corbyn corbyn returned from true, isn't it? yeah. the fact thatwilderness'byn returned from true, isn't it? yeah. the fact thatwilderness to n returned from true, isn't it? yeah. the fact thatwilderness to getturned from true, isn't it? yeah. the fact thatwilderness to get rid|ed from true, isn't it? yeah. the fact thatwilderness to get rid of from the wilderness to get rid of sadiq khan, i mean , the tories sadiq khan, i mean, the tories are this would happen . are wishing this would happen. >> yeah, it's positively shakespeare driven. yeah, i would say there's virtually zero chance of jeremy corbyn standing
1:49 pm
to be london mayor it would be very hard . the comparative very hard. the comparative advantage he has, of course, is canvassing ground campaign, getting people to knock on doors , increasing turnout. you can do that in a single constituency, doing it in a city of 8 million very, very hard. i would also say, however , i think there's a say, however, i think there's a part of keir starmer that probably wouldn't mind sadiq probably wouldn't mind if sadiq khan lost. he clearly doesn't like the alternative of sites of political power in the labour party. when he doesn't have them under his thumb. that applies to sadiq khan, also andy burnham . sadiq khan, also andy burnham. so i think there's probably a little of me, and i think little bit of me, and i think i'm probably right in thinking this his this that suspect starmer, his office have seen this story. they're thinking there's no downside for us, really. we're sort of we're home and dry. i, i think corbyn will certainly run for his constituency seat . do for his constituency seat. do you think he'll win? yes, i think easily. but i think in terms of the london mayor i don't think he would want to do it . and don't the it. and i just don't see the upside for him. i mean, he probably would get 25. probably would get 20, 25. i think he'd do very well as a
1:50 pm
third party candidate . but third party candidate. but unless , then i don't unless you win, then i don't know. and i think some people will be saying to him, look, you can livingstone. can be like ken livingstone. the difference in difference is ken livingstone in the late 1990s, when he first ran for london mayor, he didn't have a seat. he been an have a seat. he hadn't been an incumbent in a constituency for decades. incumbent in a constituency for decades . corbyn has been. so i decades. corbyn has been. so i think it's a little bit different. >> ben habib , what do you make >> ben habib, what do you make of this? i mean, is of this? i mean, it is shakespearean, but also this this corbyn could be this notion that corbyn could be the hit man, if you like , to the hit man, if you like, to take out khan, which would do starmer a favour and this is glorious. would glorious, starmer a favour and this is gfear.js. would glorious, i fear. >> aaron is right that it's unlikely he'll do this and he could damage his reputation doing this, as you say, if he doesn't win , you know it's not doesn't win, you know it's not great jeremy corbyn stand doesn't win, you know it's not grealose jeremy corbyn stand doesn't win, you know it's not grealose even|y corbyn stand doesn't win, you know it's not grealose even if corbyn stand doesn't win, you know it's not grealose even if he byn stand doesn't win, you know it's not grealose even if he has stand doesn't win, you know it's not grealose even if he has sadiq.id and lose even if he has sadiq. but jeremy corbyn is, i am certain, a brexiteer , and sadiq certain, a brexiteer, and sadiq is a rabid remainer. certain, a brexiteer, and sadiq is a rabid remainer . so there is a rabid remainer. so there would be there would be justice beyond just labour party for the labour party. >> what makes you say that? corbyn is a brexiteer because he sat fence and didn't have
1:51 pm
corbyn is a brexiteer because he seposition fence and didn't have corbyn is a brexiteer because he seposition duringand didn't have corbyn is a brexiteer because he seposition during the didn't have corbyn is a brexiteer because he seposition during the referendum a position during the referendum itself. >> f-l >> he kept schtum well, if you're a genuine left leaning politician, you believe in state intervention . and one of the intervention. and one of the things that the eu prohibits is countries intervening in their own industries. what they call making it an unlevel playing field , in other words, actually field, in other words, actually becoming competitive against the european union and jeremy is an old fashioned labour politician. he would want the right to interfere in our economy . and so interfere in our economy. and so i can't see how any true labour ideologue could be pro eu and that's the problem with the modern labour party . they're pro modern labour party. they're pro eu, pro globalisation, pro independence bodies, which all strips the strips democracy from the people, power from the people empowers these bureaucrats who then lord it over us. and that is fundamentally anti labour, fundamentally anti labour, fundamentally anti labour, fundamentally anti the roots of laboun >> i've got to put that back to
1:52 pm
aaron bastani corbyn, the closet brexiteer, he merit in that. brexiteer, and he merit in that. >> i think he, i think had he >> oh i think he, i think had he not leader of labour not been leader of the labour party he would have been a brexiteer. leader brexiteer. i think as leader of the recognised brexiteer. i think as leader of the do recognised brexiteer. i think as leader of the do that recognised brexiteer. i think as leader of the do that andygnised he couldn't do that and i wouldn't buy into the sort of conspiracy theories he secretly voted. you know, leave at the ballot think, i i ballot box. i think, i think i think, well, we'll never know. but with what what ben but i agree with what what ben is saying there. and i think it's important it's a really, really important point, is that there's point, which is that there's a strain of the labour party which believes sovereignty believes in popular sovereignty , democratic power and the nafion , democratic power and the nation state having that power, a sensible old labour and then well, and then there's basically the new labour party, which is effectively a liberal party which thinks that power should reside with unelected bureaucrats, whether that's quangos or whether that's, you know, some committee at the bank of england or whether it's in brussels. and look , for a long brussels. and look, for a long time people have thought this is just a binary right, left thinking in soundbites. it's not these are really big fundamental political disagreements. if you believe the state can be a force
1:53 pm
for good and change things and shape the economy in certain ways, the left claims to ways, which the left claims to believe in, then absolutely you should of eu i >> -- >> yeah. okay. i want to put this quickly. i'm so this back to you quickly. i'm so pleased just said what pleased aaron has just said what he yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> to quickly this >> i want to quickly bring this back mayoralty back to london and the mayoralty and khan and ulez and sadiq khan expanding that on august 29th. it definitely has exposed him to attack, hasn't it? a lot of people are talking about about his chances seemed nailed on until this, but now he's only just ahead. >> i mean there comes a tipping point doesn't there, for every politician when they've had their somehow , their day. and sadiq somehow, contrary to all failed contrary to all his failed governance of london, has been able to get re—elected, is it is it twice now he's been elected twice. yeah. so this would be the third time. and i think he's coming his shelf coming to the end of his shelf life, and he's being life, frankly. and he's being revealed for what he is. revealed truly for what he is. i mean, the notion that he could put up an ad of for of a family of white people and say of four white people and say they do represent london is they do not represent london is so overtly racist , so anti so overtly racist, so anti london, that it that message
1:54 pm

2:07 pm
was spying for china. police have confirmed two men were arrested in march under the official secrets act. one of the men was reportedly a researcher at parliament with links to several tory mps. rishi sunak says he confronted the chinese premier over the allegations at the g20 summit. well, our political correspondent olivia utley joins us now live in the studio . the chinese always seem studio. the chinese always seem to be spying on us these days. olivia, 5g masts. tick tock gadgets, smart phones . and now gadgets, smart phones. and now the latest one is in parliament. is there anything in this? it sounds a bit james bond or is it just a storm a chinese teacup ? >> well, 7- >> well, i ? >> well, i think it does sound like a pretty shocking security breach. this researcher breach. really, this researcher had a parliamentary pass, but not only that, he was working with a group of mps on international policy . now, at international policy. now, at some point, those mps included tom tugendhat, the security minister, and alicia kearns, who's chairman of chairwoman of the of the foreign affairs select committee. so the fact
2:08 pm
that this man had managed to infiltrate parliament and according to some people i spoke to, sir, anti—china sort of lobbyists, if you like, these hong kong watch one of these groups that's keeping a very close eye on china. one of the china hawks. they claim that they believe that this researcher turned some conservative mps from being china hawks into being an apathetic about the whole issue . apparently, this researcher complained and a lot about mps not being nuanced enough about china and was very openly advocating beijing's stance among tory mps. it is pretty shocking . shocking. >> and what's what's beijing's end game on this? what do they want ? i mean, are they are they want? i mean, are they are they trying to get official secrets to undermine or are they are to undermine us? or are they are they lobbying to be more sympathetic towards beijing? so they get away with of their they get away with more of their global capitalism? what's in it for ? for them? >> well, never completely >> well, it's never completely clear what china wants out of this. sounds as though this. it sounds as though in this. it sounds as though in this case it was probably they
2:09 pm
perhaps turned this man to infiltrate the uk government to try and turn some of those more staunch china hawks in the conservative party. some of those influential mps to have a more favourable view of china . more favourable view of china. so it might be that they're trying to sort of get some sort of soft power in westminster rather than to get hold rather than trying to get hold of which of official secrets, which hopefully parliamentary hopefully a parliamentary researcher privy to. researcher wouldn't be privy to. >> it's interesting because this is infiltrate an allegedly is this infiltrate an allegedly has warnings by ken has followed warnings by ken mccallum, the head of m15 . he mccallum, the head of m15. he was saying that the chinese communist party poses the most game changing strategic challenge to the uk of all. well, exactly. >> he's one that we saw the security select committee in the house of commons say something very, very similar at the end of last year. and both have said that the problem is that whitehall doesn't have the whitehall just doesn't have the resources, capacity or the resources, the capacity or the expertise to deal with the issue. so what you end up with issue. so what you end up with is a few china hawks in the conservative party, perhaps in duncan smith, as the most influential of them, banging the drum and over again. but
2:10 pm
drum over and over again. but they really have the they don't really have the machinery of whitehall behind them to keep a properly close eye on this threat . eye on this threat. >> and how concerned do you think we should be? let's be crewed on a scale of 1 to 10, is this something that that threatens mine, our threatens to undo mine, our democracy now we're aware of democracy or now we're aware of it ? can simply it democracy or now we're aware of it? can simply it in democracy or now we're aware of it ? can simply it in the it? can we simply nip it in the bud just find other bud or will they just find other ways to infiltrate? >> well, this specific case, i mean, all of the mean, we don't know all of the details , on whole details yet, but on the whole parliamentary researchers, as i say, wouldn't have access to sort secrets . and it sort of state secrets. and it sounds as though the damage was relatively limited. his access to tom tugendhat, the security minister, was severed last september when tugendhat ran for the tory leadership. so it doesn't sound in this case as though he got too close to any tory ministers. but the though he got too close to any tory fact ministers. but the though he got too close to any tory fact it�*ninisters. but the though he got too close to any tory fact it happened3ut the though he got too close to any tory fact it happened does|e very fact it happened does suggest that it could happen again. it sounds as though this man has has been in his job for quite a long and did go quite a long time and it did go on notice. so perhaps this time we shouldn't be too worried. but next time, who knows? >> olivia utley superb as ever. okay, what my panel
2:11 pm
okay, let's see what my panel make of of course i'm make of this. of course i'm still joined by the co—founder at media, aaron bastani at novara media, aaron bastani and former brexit party mep ben habib . let's start with you, habib. let's start with you, aaron, on this one. should we be concerned about the chinese getting their claws into westminster ? westminster? >> well, concern a is a big >> well, concern is a is a big word. i suppose i'd start by saying is this chap was doing his job. so we've been talking about khalife , the sort about daniel khalife, the sort of freelance espionage he's doing iranians. doing for the iranians. this is far more important and serious if he is managing to influence foreign policy decisions that is massive. and what i would say is the sort of the elephant in the room here is the reason why people iain people don't listen to iain duncan inside duncan smith and whatnot inside the is the conservative party is because britain needs china . we because britain needs china. we don't make anything anymore. china is the workshop of the world. if we had economic decoupling from china, the inflation we saw 12 months ago would be like child's play. we'd be seeing 2,025% inflation. that's why the tories don't want to do anything on china and i think, frankly, political think, frankly, the political class to honest with class needs to be honest with the electorate that
2:12 pm
the electorate about that because expensive because we've had expensive energy. we did something energy. if we did something similar what we've done to similar with what we've done to russia, china, we'd have russia, with china, we'd have expensive everything . and i expensive everything. and i think it's important politicians are upfront about that. >> ben habib isn't that the point? jinping didn't even point? xi jinping didn't even turn up to the g20 because he knows a talking shop . knows it's just a talking shop. he's never there in person and isn't this a case of rishi can talk as tough as he likes in new delhi, but chinese just do delhi, but the chinese just do what they want? delhi, but the chinese just do thwell,( want? delhi, but the chinese just do thwell, iwant? delhi, but the chinese just do thwell, i thought olivia's >> well, i thought olivia's exposition of the issue and yours, aaron, if i may say so, was spot on an excellent and olivia talked about the nuanced response that china wishes to inculcate in westminster. well, i thought rishi sunak's response was incredibly nuanced to the point of utter weakness . you've point of utter weakness. you've got a chinese spy in westminster and you've got the british prime minister saying, well, you know, ispoke minister saying, well, you know, i spoke to the prime minister of china told this really china and i told him this really wasn't very on. it's completely inadequate . quit. really? you inadequate. quit. really? you know, 30 years ago, we would have expelled them, expel their
2:13 pm
their embassy staff from london for spying on on british government. but aaron makes the most central important point we are so in bed with china even our climate change policies can only be delivered with wind turbines made from coal fired manufacturing facilities in china. this is how ridiculous the world has become and i'd you know, i've just got to make one more point before i go. jeremy hunt, is at the heart of hunt, who is at the heart of government speech , spoke government speech, spoke glowingly of the chinese in the way that they locked their country down. he also , as far as country down. he also, as far as i can see, espouses as close to complete control economic theory when it comes to his policies for managing our managing our economy, you know, query why has jeremy hunt been got to yeah well aaron on the point that olivia raised an excellent point of soft power , you have to admit of soft power, you have to admit no matter what you think of the
2:14 pm
chinese communist party, they've been brilliant, haven't they, in taking over the world by stealth without firing a single shot . without firing a single shot. >> they've hoovered up most of the rare earth minerals we need for which, course, for batteries, which, of course, the tells must the government tells us we must have shiny have in our new electric shiny cars and boilers . they've cars and our boilers. they've they've infrastructure into they've put infrastructure into africa and they've basically taken over great parts of the world, strategic . lee we're just world, strategic. lee we're just yet acquisition only we yet another acquisition only we don't really matter . don't really matter. >> it is hugely extraordinary. martin for your viewers and listeners out there, as recently as 1996, britain produced more cars than china . and that's how cars than china. and that's how quickly things have changed. now, china is by far the world's largest producer of automotive cars. it's about to be by far the greatest producer of electric vehicles. evs and like you said, ben, if we want to decarbonise really quickly, the wind turbines , the solar panels, wind turbines, the solar panels, the lithium batteries, all made in china, they will all come from china. >> so which is burning coal like there's ? there's no tomorrow? >> well, they are decarbonising surprisingly quickly for a middle income country, but
2:15 pm
that's absolutely true. >> their emissions are huge. obviously, large obviously, it's a very large country population. obviously, it's a very large country lastyulation. obviously, it's a very large country last 17ation. obviously, it's a very large country last 17 years, they've >> in the last 17 years, they've emitted more, more, more pollution than entire pollution than the entire industrial pollution than the entire ind here's here's a great stat, >> here's a here's a great stat, here's great stat . every three here's a great stat. every three years, china uses more concrete and cement than the united states did for the whole of the 20th so they are going 20th century. so they are going through their industrial revolution speed , revolution on at double speed, triple speed, frankly, and obviously what comes with that is increased geopolitical and military clout . i is increased geopolitical and military clout. i think our politicians need to be bit politicians need to be a bit more what that more honest about what that means and start acting accordingly. >> there any chance >> yeah, but is there any chance that's going happen? that's going to happen? ben habib so habib because they seem so defanged about dealing with the chinese. it's like rishi, you know, i'll send you a sternly written letter. know. written letter. i know. >> goodness sake , >> i mean, for goodness sake, no, the chinese have been incredible in the promotion of their economic interests on the international stage. they every vacuum that we've created because we won't trade with a particular given particular country given its human or we're human rights history or we're trying to export our ideological commitment to democracy before we'll do a free trade deal with them . china's moved in, hoovered
2:16 pm
them. china's moved in, hoovered it up and taken over. great example is pakistan. pakistan is an area where we need geopolitical influence if we want to control afghanistan, we want to control afghanistan, we want to control afghanistan, we want to know what's happening in the middle east. pakistan would have been a natural place for us to go. actually, we've turned have been a natural place for us to go. ac onlly, we've turned have been a natural place for us to go. ac on pakistani turned have been a natural place for us to go. ac on pakistan .turned have been a natural place for us to go. ac on pakistan . we've our back on pakistan. we've exhed our back on pakistan. we've exited the country and the chinese have moved in. okay, great stuff. >> again, ben habib, aaron bosonic , and of course, olivia bosonic, and of course, olivia utley, you. an utley, thank you. that's an excellent you're excellent debate. you're watching and listening to gb news sunday me. martin news sunday with me. martin daubney coming yet daubney loads more coming up yet on first, on today's show. but first, let's take at all let's take a look at the all important weather . important weather. >> looks like things are heating up. boxed boilers are proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> good afternoon. my name is rachel ayers and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast brought to you by the met office. so there have been plenty of heavy showers and thunderstorms around already today. thunderstorms around already today . and if we look at this today. and if we look at this chart can see these chart here, you can see these occlusions bit focus occlusions mark a bit of a focus for these showers as we

2:18 pm
moves into england and wales, but becoming cooler and fresher behind with more in the way of brightness. that the brightness. and that sets the theme for the rest of week. theme for the rest of the week. feeling changeable and feeling quite changeable and autumnal temperatures autumnal with those temperatures dropping down back towards average . looks like things are average. looks like things are heating up with boxt boilers >> proud sponsors of weather on gb news as . and there's loads gb news as. and there's loads more coming up yet on today's show including rishi sunak and the italian prime minister giorgia meloni have teamed up to crack down on illegal immigration. >> so could this be the beginning of the end of the illegal migration crisis? i'll believe it when i see it. all of that and more to come. i'm martin daubney and you're watching to gb watching and listening to gb news, britain's news

for migration and economic prosperity . good pal of mine, prosperity. good pal of mine, stephen wolf . wolfie, it's stephen wolf. wolfie, it's always a pleasure . he there he always a pleasure. he there he is. rishi is at the g20 talking tough . he's is. rishi is at the g20 talking tough. he's had a drink. is. rishi is at the g20 talking tough . he's had a drink. sounds tough. he's had a drink. sounds like sounds like another bailout agreement at this time with giorgia meloni . you can see the giorgia meloni. you can see the logic here, can't you? if you can stop the boats coming into italy, that may stem some of the tide coming across the continent our way. does this idea have any merit? no because the people traffickers are giving an expresso to the numbers of people that are being able to cross the borders into europe. >> i mean , let's look at the >> i mean, let's look at the numbers, martin, as we always do. let's start with the facts . do. let's start with the facts. and we start with the facts from the union, european the european union, the european union says that there were 325,000 people coming into italy on the what they call the eastern mediterranean migration route this year alone, that we also have the highest number of applicants, 1 million applicants
2:24 pm
for asylum in the eu this year. and out of that, 822,000 were first time applicants. but interestingly enough, in the past it's just mainly been germany, italy, the uk and france taking about 70% of them. but i'm really fascinated at some new numbers . the first one some new numbers. the first one is the massive rise 422% increase in applicants in ireland, 368% increase in croatia . and 141% increase in croatia. and 141% increase in austria . europe has a massive austria. europe has a massive problem, as does britain . problem, as does britain. they're not going to stop it until they can close the borders of people coming into europe. and who believes that the eu is ever going to do that? >> well, of course , we must >> well, of course, we must remember that italy is still a member of the european union, but elected on a but meloni was elected on a ticket, wasn't she, of getting tough and stopping boats tough and stopping the boats coming into her own country. but she successful she hasn't been that successful , has she? >> no, she's not been enormously successful. what she has done is caused the ire of the
2:25 pm
non—governmental organisation and those who want to see an increased level of mass migration by saying that you couldn't bring in refugee boats ehhen couldn't bring in refugee boats either. those non—governmental organisations that go down into the waters of the mediterranean and bring them to italy by saying there could be only one port in northern italy which they could come in to be assessed. but her government is facing a huge backlash after it said it wanted to bring in over 1 million to 2 million new people into their country who were coming and work similarly to what rishi sunak is allowing into into the uk. so maybe they're talking about how they can work that one out as well. so legal visas, they want to increase massively whilst not really stopping the boat. >> okay . stephen wolf, you don't >> okay. stephen wolf, you don't sound made that optimistic about this marriage being made in heaven. >> absolutely not. because i think the world has got a huge problem. you saw over the last few days the mayor of new york,
2:26 pm
a democrat who has a city that says is welcoming to those refugees from across the globe, saying that new york is in danger of being bankrupt and collapsing under the 110,000 migrants that have come into new york. that's minuscule compared to the numbers that have come into the uk . you have 3.5 into the uk. you have 3.5 million people came in the southern border of the united states last last year. globally we have 108 million people. the un says moving around the world, the refugee status are we all going to accept european countries as the uk and america and canada can take all of these? or are we finally going to wake up and have an international conference where we actually define who can or can't come into our countries ? can't come into our countries? >> okay, stephen it's >> okay, stephen wolf, it's always pleasure to to always a pleasure to talking to you. top of the you. you're a man on top of the data. for joining you. you're a man on top of the data. forjoining us data. thank you for joining us today on sunday. and today on gb news sunday. and i'll our i'll throw this back to our panel now. still with me, ben habib bastani. have habib and aaron bastani. i have to ben. could see habib and aaron bastani. i have
2:27 pm
to shaking ben. could see habib and aaron bastani. i have to shaking yourben. could see habib and aaron bastani. i have to shaking your head could see habib and aaron bastani. i have to shaking your head throughout you shaking your head throughout that quite vociferously. maloney talked a great fight , didn't talked a great fight, didn't she, when she was elected as the as the premier of italy . do you as the premier of italy. do you think she's been a damp squib ? think she's been a damp squib? >> yes, she has. and, you know, she spoke very stridently both about the eu as well, about stopping the boats. and she's gone weak on both of them. she's been captured by her political office so often happens, you office as so often happens, you know, get elected. but know, when you get elected. but she , as stephen was she has, as stephen was indicating, she has, by the way, i wasn't shaking my head in anything stephen said. i thought he unadultered and was he spoke unadultered and i was shaking at what's going shaking my head at what's going on with western liberal democracies and their inability to control both illegal as well as legal migration. but the real issue here is western liberal democracies failing to protect nafion democracies failing to protect nation state s and forget saying that the border control is fundamental and foundation through which nation states exist. now we have the right in
2:28 pm
this country, as does italy, greece , western balkans, every greece, western balkans, every country that's a member of the un to do prevent, take preventative measures on against people who are seeking to enter your territorial waters illegally. yeah. and that includes, if necessary , turning includes, if necessary, turning boats round . and you can do that boats round. and you can do that the way the australians did with operation sovereign borders, sending specialist troops in to go onto those boats and driving them with an escort straight back to where they came from in australia's case, it was indonesia in italy's case, obviously that would be north africa and the same for greece and so on, and that's the kind of response we need. martin we need a physical response at the border. we don't need new laws . border. we don't need new laws. we don't need deportation we don't need new deportation schemes. we've got all the international law we need. we just need politicians who have the courage to enforce those laws. and protect our nation
2:29 pm
states and i wonder, aaron bastani, if we have that kind of politician in rishi sunak. >> he's thrown £500 million, half a billion at the french doesn't seem to have stopped the boats. in fact, numbers are going through the what going through the roof. what could any deal with italy possibly would be any better? >> it's good question , >> yeah, it's a good question, ian. i would say ian. i would actually say something stephen said something that stephen said there, eloquent , but he was there, very eloquent, but he was a contradictory. and a little bit contradictory. and so that in so much as he was saying that in italy, what they're saying is we're going to crack down on undocumented migration, but they're looking hand out they're looking to hand out massive legal visas . massive numbers of legal visas. it's a very similar thing in this country. and said this country. and i've said this repeatedly. rishi's repeatedly. i think that rishi's emphasis on undocumented migration, the channel crossings and whatnot, i'm not diminishing it, but i think the reason why the tories focus on it is because they've completely lost control when comes legal control when it comes to legal migration . we had in 2022 long migration. we had in 2022 long term immigration to this country of 1.2 million people. net migration of 600,000. you know , migration of 600,000. you know, you have the high hundreds of thousands in terms of all people coming across the channel, i
2:30 pm
think in the last six years. so massive of people, massive numbers of people, but nothing compared to the people who coming here legally. and who are coming here legally. and so this emphasis from so i think this emphasis from the conservative party on the on the conservative party on the on the channel crossings , people the channel crossings, people can care about that deeply. obviously, entitled to. obviously, they're entitled to. it's but what it's hugely important. but what it's hugely important. but what i would say them is it offers i would say to them is it offers a very powerful distraction from what's going on with entirely legal migration. yeah gents, we have to stop it there. >> i mean, you could ask if any of this is has any merit. i mean, like i say , the only boat mean, like i say, the only boat they've stopped is the bibby stockholm. and as as. as for this idea of a rwanda style deal this idea of a rwanda style deal, well , i this idea of a rwanda style deal, well, i think, ben, how many people were rwanda many people were sent to rwanda so sent two secretaries >> well, we sent two secretaries of state rwanda. i think >> well, we sent two secretaries of sante rwanda. i think >> well, we sent two secretaries of fa sum nanda. i think >> well, we sent two secretaries of fa sum total|. i think >> well, we sent two secretaries of fa sum total|. i it. nk >> well, we sent two secretaries of fa sum total|. i it. and that's a sum total of it. and zero illegal. >> so we go. think >> so there we go. i think we have empty hopes that this have so empty hopes that this end anyway, end of the table. anyway, you're watching . listen news watching. listen to gb news sunday me, martin daubney sunday with me, martin daubney loads to come today's loads more to come on today's show, including a climate scientist , has admitted the scientist, has admitted the carbon sin of exaggerating the impact of global warming. to get a paper published , what do you a paper published, what do you
2:31 pm
think? the climate change is a real concern or not? first, it's the news with the wonderful tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> martin, thank you very much and good afternoon. it's exactly 230. the latest from the newsroom. daniel khalife has been charged with escaping custody after four days on the run from authorities . the run from authorities. the escaped terror suspect strapped himself to the bottom of a food delivery van and escaped wandsworth prison . on wednesday. wandsworth prison. on wednesday. he was tackled from a bicycle on a canal towpath in northolt, west london, an officer just west london, by an officer just yesterday. he's appearing at westminster magistrates court tomorrow . the tuc is reporting tomorrow. the tuc is reporting the government to the united nafions the government to the united nations watchdog over the new law requiring staff to work dunng law requiring staff to work during strike action. the union's general secretary says the legislation falls far short of international legal standards. the government says it's there to protect the lives of the general public and has recently announced a consultation on how the new law
2:32 pm
will be enacted. but general secretary paul novak describes that new law as dreadful . more that new law as dreadful. more than 2000 people have died in what's described as the deadliest earthquake in morocco since 1960. survivors slept in the open for the second night after the 6.8 magnitude quake struck remote areas of the atlas mountains yesterday. many fear their homes are no longer safe to return to with another 3.9 magnitude earthquake hitting the country just today, more than 2000 people have been injured, half are in a critical condition. the country has declared three days of national mourning . and finally, sir, mo mourning. and finally, sir, mo farah has completed the final race of his career , sealing race of his career, sealing fourth place in the great north run, the four time olympic champion finished in one hour, three minutes and 28 seconds. he was cheered on and greeted by vast crowds, giving him high fives as he crossed the finish line. the sports star announced
2:33 pm
earlier this year that the time has finally come for him to move away from running . you can get away from running. you can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website gbnews.com . and thank you very much, tatiana. >> on to our next story. a climate scientist has admitted he exaggerated the impact of global warming to get his paper published in a prestigious journal called nature. dr. patrick brown wrote last week that climate change had caused an increase in wildfires in california, but it's now admitted he deliberately left out information , including the out information, including the fact that some fires were started by arsonists as well. senior meteorologist at british weather services, jim dale joins me on the show now. jim, it's always a pleasure to have you on the show, especially on a sunny day like this, captain. so patrick really the patrick brown has really put the cat here. he cat among the pigeons here. he admitted that the mainstream narrative on climate change is
2:34 pm
taboo. he narrative on climate change is taboo . he left out the details, taboo. he left out the details, key details about poor forestry management and arson and while not exaggerating the climate change influence left out other contributory factors . do you contributory factors. do you think this is an own goal for the climate change movement ? the climate change movement? >> yeah, it's a little bit of a naughty boy , to be honest with naughty boy, to be honest with you. wrong things. you. he did the wrong things. >> he didn't get it reviewed in you. he did the wrong things. >> wayiidn't get it reviewed in you. he did the wrong things. >> wayiidn't gyshould'iewed in you. he did the wrong things. >> wayiidn't gyshould be ed in the way that it should be reviewed . and eventually he reviewed. and eventually he admitted it, which is a good thing . um, also the scientists thing. um, also the scientists picked up his peers , picked up picked up his peers, picked up around him and asked him questions , why he didn't put the questions, why he didn't put the evidence forward. he works for the breakthrough institute in the breakthrough institute in the us , which which by the by the us, which which by the by its name on its own seems to suggest he wants to push things a little bit too quickly. and in this case i think he did. but to be honest with you, given what's happening with the climate this yean happening with the climate this year, summer happening with the climate this yearlast summer summer happening with the climate this yearlast summer as summer happening with the climate this yearlast summer as well1mer happening with the climate this yearlast summer as well ,ner happening with the climate this yearlast summer as well, azr and last summer as well, a little bit of a storm in a teacup . teacup. >> yeah, i mean, a lot of people, of course, have pointed
2:35 pm
out always out the climate has always changed. a couple changed. it was hotter a couple of millennia ago, 2000 years ago than now. back to the than it is now. but back to the topic of how she put it topic of kind of how she put it forming the narrative by leaving out key information is this do you think, indicative of a broader movement within the whole climate change movement, if you like , the fact of if you like, the fact of mentioning things like arson, which is provably true, and poor forest management, you know, facts mentioned them , is somehow facts mentioned them, is somehow verboten. you have to toe the line. it's climate change. we're all burning . all burning. >> well, i would suggest to you that the exaggeration and the misinformation comes actually from the other side. the climate deniers, where none of that stuff that's out there on social media, sometime goes on, on, on mainstream television and radio is peer reviewed in any shape or form. so if we're looking for exaggeration , misinformation, exaggeration, misinformation, that's where it is . scientific that's where it is. scientific data is very carefully studied to make sure it is ratified and is accurate. not every single
2:36 pm
event that you see in terms of climate change, the wildfires is showing now is necessary , eerily showing now is necessary, eerily unked showing now is necessary, eerily linked to climate change. you know, i see climate change as, as a call it, the candle on the cake. sometimes the thing that makes it that little bit worse and i think that's true of most events and i think that's what most scientists, most climatologists and meteorologists believe that it isn't the isolated events in itself, it's what climate itself, but it's what climate change adds to it that makes these things more, more dangerous and more harmful. okay jim dale, thank you for that excellent input on this sunny sunday. >> please and enjoy >> please go and enjoy the weather have weather. now you have my permission. back to permission. let's come back to the still got the the studio now. still got the chaps here. bastani, chaps here. aaron bastani, i'm going come you on going to come to you first on this. really caused a this. this is really caused a lot of people to get very excited on social media. dr. patrick brown, speaker , out that patrick brown, speaker, out that this seems to be like a rigged game . and is this actually, do game. and is this actually, do you think , indicative of the you think, indicative of the fact that any challenging voice now is treated as a heretic? this guy has basically been excommunicated for speaking the
2:37 pm
truth. >> so i think climate change is a is a massive issue. and again, it's important to say that britain, to a large extent, will be immune from the worst excesses of it over the coming decades. yields will fall, decades. crop yields will fall, access drinking water access to clean drinking water in big parts of the world will be for you know, you have be hard for you know, you have about a billion and half, about a billion and a half, 2 billion asia relying billion people in asia relying on fresh drinking on glaciers for fresh drinking water. if temperatures rise by a couple of degrees, those glaciers melt, those people don't have fresh drinking water. that's on that's a huge problem. now on the other hand , it is deeply the other hand, it is deeply unhelpful when every single forest fire or every single torrential downpour or every single extreme weather event is characterised as a consequence of climate change. as you say , of climate change. as you say, the climate has always changed. the claim here is that human caused climate change, anthropogenic climate change means it's happening more quickly than previously , and quickly than previously, and that we need to address that through infrastructure and allocating . what allocating resources. what i would say is that that mono causality, the idea that climate
2:38 pm
change did this or did that isn't good science . so i'm isn't good science. so i'm surprised that got published in the first place. but i don't think that means we should neglect the importance of it. and look, i'll be i'll be perfectly honest. change perfectly honest. climate change isn't going to mean existential problems. us or our problems. probably us or our children, but in the long view, over 50 to 100 years, it is going to be a hugely challenging context for a lot of poorer countries. okay. >> the reason it got published , >> the reason it got published, aaron, was because he deliberately left out the bits which would prevent its which he knew would prevent its publication. and it wasn't just about forest management and arson. it also included key things such as the human ability to to be be technologically advanced and help us to deal with climate change. he pointed out, for example, that the crop yields are at an all time high. life expectancy has never been better because humans can adapt it to climate change. but he wouldn't put that in the paper either because he knew that it would end up on cutting room would end up on the cutting room floor. so so, ben, this does start to the cynic, if
2:39 pm
start to feel to the cynic, if you like , as something of a kind you like, as something of a kind of collusion to only have one story forming the narrative . story forming the narrative. >> yeah. and it's not about, as jim was indicating, those who believe in climate change and what he described as climate deniers . that's far too black deniers. that's far too black and white and a binary position for jim to take. it's about no one objects to an agenda which reduces carbon emissions, which improves air quality. no one objects to that. it's the mechanist ism and the speed at which you tilt at it. and that's my real problem with all of this . it's not binary. we don't have to economically imagine educate ourselves as aaron so clearly laid out , the united kingdom is laid out, the united kingdom is actually going to be the least affected. we're also we also produce less than 1% global produce less than 1% of global carbon . and yet here carbon emissions. and yet here we leading the charge, we are leading the charge, rushing towards it, turning our back on energy security, turning our back on the fight for inflation, because let's admit it, it's our rush towards net
2:40 pm
zero that's causing a great deal of the inflation that we're experiencing at the moment. turning our back on the working class and middle classes of the united kingdom to deliver net zero, which is not some god given moral obligation. it's the creation of a bunch of politicians who are as guided by the science as anyone else is on any side of the debate. so jim dale in people would like to present this case as the drive towards net zero is synonymous with believing in climate change. and if you don't get on that ride, if you don't buy into net zero by 2050, you're a climate denier. and that's the problem. and that's the problem with the with people like brown coming with papers, blaming coming out with papers, blaming climate change when actually he knows perfectly well there's a significant human element to it. >> it's a huge talking point. ben habib arabaci, thanks for that one. stick with us. of course, for the rest of the show. coming show. loads more coming up yet on the show. uk
2:41 pm
on the rest of the show. the uk has struck special deal to has struck a special deal to rejoin horizon science rejoin the eu's horizon science research programme, wanting to get ben habib going. is this a betray of brexit or is it cleaning up the mess created by our withdrawal from the eu bloc? all of that and more to come. i'm martin daubney and you're watching or listening to gb news, news
2:44 pm
2:45 pm
sunday with me, martin daubney on your tv online, and of course, on your digital radio. well, earlier this year, legendary news presenter alastair stewart stepped back from gb news after over 40 years working as a journalist on local and national television . he sat and national television. he sat down with camilla tominey to reveal he's being diagnosed with early onset vascular dementia . early onset vascular dementia. >> the headline story and it is relatively dramatic, i suppose . relatively dramatic, i suppose. is that about six, nine months ago , i began to feel one of my ago, i began to feel one of my favourite words a bit disc combobulated. yeah, i wasn't becoming forgetful , but combobulated. yeah, i wasn't becoming forgetful, but things like doing up your shoelaces properly. that's how i wear these lovely moccasins now, making sure your tie was straight, remembering that the call time for your program is 4:00 and not 5:00. not turning up early or late and stuff like that. up early or late and stuff like that . and i then decide did at that. and i then decide did at my ripe old age of late 50s, early 60s that i might have
2:46 pm
something wrong up here. so i went to see my gp, who's brilliant, and i said, look, i'm really worried that i might have dementia, early onset dementia . dementia, early onset dementia. yeah. and the gp, to his credit, said, i don't know, i have no idea. sometimes people of your age, particularly if they've had age, particularly if they've had a really fascinating active life , try to find excuses because they can't quite cope with old age . but the only way you can age. but the only way you can find out is have scan . and i find out is have a scan. and i had then it was like had a scan and then it was like a casualty or a scene from casualty or emergency ward ten because the results came back and i had indeed had a series of minor strokes that are called infarct strokes, not the big one where your face falls down and your arm goes doolally. but it's like pepper shots and that the cumulative effect of that was that i had a diagnosis of early onset vascular dementia . and so onset vascular dementia. and so gb news didn't then say, oh god , well, that's hopeless. we
2:47 pm
can't, you know, you can't have your own screening like that quite the opposite. gb news across the spectrum . and my team across the spectrum. and my team and i just bumped into a couple of them outside, which was lovely were amongst those who were saying, are you you're were saying, are you sure you're okay? bit about okay? we're a bit worried about you just drew together as one and back to me . so i remain on and back to me. so i remain on the books . yes, i have a what's the books. yes, i have a what's called a contributor contract so i can come and do stuff like this. had a lovely interview with cameron walker about the death late and the death of the late queen and the accession of king charles. and i'm hoping other things will crop over time. but they were crop up over time. but they were just totally loyal to me when just so totally loyal to me when the gp kind of broke that bombshell news. >> alastair, what was your reaction ? were you surprised? reaction? were you surprised? were horrified ? were you horrified? >> did it all of the above, but also relieved because i knew that there was something amiss , that there was something amiss, but i didn't know what it was . but i didn't know what it was. and to be crystal clear , it's and to be crystal clear, it's not like sitting opposite a man or a woman in a blue or a white coat with a stethoscope around the sorry , i've the neck saying, i'm sorry, i've got for you.
2:48 pm
got some bad news for you. you've and you've you've got cancer and you've probably to probably only got six months to live. opposite with live. quite the opposite with dementia , alzheimer's is a dementia, alzheimer's is a totally different argument. but with with vascular dementia, you can't cure it, but you can ameliorate it. >> people's impression of dementia is you get a diagnosis like that and it's game over. but you haven't had that. no, quite opposite . quite the opposite. >> you to say >> and so kind of you to say that do that's how that and i do hope that's how people because my two people feel because my two consultants, i a i have consultants, i have a i have a cardio consultant to try and figure out why the blood pressure is so high because that's what causes these little strokes in most cases. and then i a stroke consult who's i have a stroke consult who's working with me on how to ameliorate the condition. both of them said to wife, who of them said to my wife, who comes to all of my appointments, you really weird you know, it's really weird because we know exactly who you are and kind of grown up are and we've kind of grown up with it would be with you, and it would be impossible to diagnose you with dementia from sitting down and having a conversation with you. quite the opposite. you'd think this nothing wrong with this bloke. you he's bloke. he's just, you know, he's spinning .
2:49 pm
spinning a yarn. >> right. very moving interview there. and i saw alice on the way into the building today and listened to him there. gents, it's hard to believe that he has anything approaching a degenerative brain condition. he seems sharp as a button , but. seems sharp as a button, but. but speaking so openly about it. incredible interview. i found that very moving and very upbeat. >> matter of fact , you know, he >> matter of fact, you know, he wasn't feeling sorry for himself. i'm a great fan of alison stewart's and i and i hope show have him on. hope the show will have him on. he's in credibly lucid . he's clearly in credibly lucid. and it is something i know something about because my father, who is 89, has vascular dementia as well. as a result of multi—infarct events, which is what he was referring to. and my father, like alastair, alastair still has a great degree of lucidity. my father was a phenomenal force with which to be reckoned all his life and now he's a shadow obviously of his former self. so i have great sympathy for alastair. i hope he manages to control it. the key is to make sure he stops his high blood pressure or whatever
2:50 pm
caused the multi infarction in the first place. >> aaron. what's reaction >> aaron. what's your reaction to they're to alice's revelation? they're very . very moving. >> it was very moving and it's something not many people necessarily , but necessarily realise, but dementia the cause of dementia is the leading cause of death country death in this country now. and that's partly because, of course, people are living longer, so strangely sign longer, so it's strangely a sign of we be of success. we should be investing far more money and resources addressing it resources into addressing it because it's massive killer because it's a massive killer now and that of us now and that kind of brings us neatly next topic , neatly onto our next topic, scientific the scientific research, because the uk is rejoin eu's horizon uk is to rejoin the eu's horizon science research programme at a discounted membership fee. >> still quite a lot, though, in what many view as a brexit u—turn . the prime minister u—turn. the prime minister revealed that british scientists can apply for grants from the £85 billion programme which was met with jubilation from the british scientific community. but i don't suspect that it's going to be met with jubilation by least one of my panel. ben by at least one of my panel. ben habib, brexit party mep , habib, former brexit party mep, and i'm still here with aaron bastani , the co—founder at bastani, the co—founder at novara media. ben, to you. so it's a great deal for british scientists. >> okay, so it's sold as collaboration action across the
2:51 pm
european union, including other states that have signed up to this. and together with this pooled cash and pooled intellectual knowhow, we will be able to propel technological advancement and research forward . the truth, of course, isn't quite that the truth is that horizon europe is a politically motivated research programme to promote eu policies, and particularly what the eu commission believe in. and anyone can establish . what i'm anyone can establish. what i'm saying is the truth by doing a search for horizon europe on the web and it's there in black and white upfront. so this is a politically motivated programme . um, it's something the united kingdom does not need to be part of . it helps kingdom does not need to be part of. it helps europeans a great deal because they don't have any particular particularly brilliant centres of research. but we have three of the top ten universities in the world. none of the other seven are from the european union . would you
2:52 pm
european union. would you believe it? and we are going to believe it? and we are going to be paying in ,2.6 billion each year to this programme , um, in year to this programme, um, in the hope that our scientists get ,2.6 billion back. what we should have not go into should have done was not go into horizon and give the horizon europe and give the money directly to programmes that do research for the benefit of british national interests, not european union ones and there's one other thing i want to say before we finish on it, and that is that the european defence shoehorned into defence fund was shoehorned into horizon europe just before we signed our commitment to it in the trade and cooperation agreement . the european defence agreement. the european defence fund unashamedly the fund is unashamedly the promotion mission of european military development . it's military development. it's a research fund for military development with the european union's interests. again, at its heart , which is military heart, which is military interoperability across europe. it's designed to pull the british military into a european army. we do not want any of
2:53 pm
that. >> and bastoni a compelling case against. what's your take on horizon? >> well, i would i would ask ben, and that's not my job to ask ben any questions. but so why is rishi doing it then? because i mean, i'm quite ambivalent about it if i'm honest. but equally, i can see the power of the arguments that the power of the arguments that the research institutions the major research institutions in the sort of in europe as a continent or in the uk and we might get 2.6 billion after putting that back in the first place. i don't get place. so i don't quite get it. so rishi's reasoning ? so what's rishi's reasoning? >> is an equal . so what's rishi's reasoning? >> is an equal. rishi >> so rishi is an equal. rishi is not a brexiteer rishi is, as he claims, rishi is as fearful of the eu as he loves it and that's why he's done it. rishi wants to. >> we have. >> we have. >> he wants to get close to the eu. >> i know you can go on all day about aaron bastani, ben habib. thank today's thank you. superb. on today's show, but please don't go anywhere nana is up anywhere because nana is up next. what's on your menu? next. nana, what's on your menu? >> going be >> well, we're going to be talking about reparations. >> , honestly, it seems >> i mean, honestly, it seems a bit but laura bit ridiculous, but laura trevelyan has started off a bit of on reparations. >> plus , we'll be looking at net >> plus, we'll be looking at net
