continue dealing with them. they're going to be a big part of there's no of the 21st century. there's no doubt about that. if we want to tackle climate change, we want to to see economy to continue to see our economy grow. have to deal with grow. we will have to deal with them. mean that them. but that doesn't mean that we to accept that, that we have to accept that, that some of the things that they do are consistent with our are are consistent with our values . values. >> well, former health minister lord james bethell joins us now in the studio . good morning, in the studio. good morning, james. thank you for coming in. the controversy around this alleged chinese spy continues because the gentleman who was accused was on the front page of one of the newspapers yesterday, came out and defiantly said there is no truth to this . do there is no truth to this. do you think he should be named at this stage? should should the politicians, should the mps be talking about who he is? >> bev it's a real dilemma. we're all naturally very concerned about what the accusations are, but we have to be respectful of the legal process. the intelligence services have been emphatic . services have been emphatic. they do not want to have a

discussion about his identity or about accusations because about the accusations because that would disrupt their investigation . so i think we investigation. so i think we have respect their intentions have to respect their intentions on i that , james, but on this. i hear that, james, but this we're talking about china, which are laughing at us because they don't allow any discussion about anything if they don't like because it's a police like it because it's a police state. >> this is the mother all >> this is the mother of all parliaments. has been parliaments. this story has been this been named on the this man has been named on the front the times with a front page of the times with a photograph. they've done it again so we're all again today. so we're all talking about it. you know, it is. knows who it is. i know is. bev knows who it is. i know it is people who've read the times know people who've times know it is people who've read the internet know it is. but mps allowed to name but mps aren't allowed to name him debate it. him or debate it. >> think right >> well, i think you're right that laughing and what that china is laughing and what they to sow suspicion they want is to sow suspicion and disrupt action in our parliament. so although the temptation to dive in temptation is to try to dive in and discuss in and discuss this person in particular, actually the most helpful can do is to helpful thing we can do is to back off temptation, action helpful thing we can do is to back of rise temptation, action helpful thing we can do is to back of rise above ptation, action helpful thing we can do is to back of rise above itation, action helpful thing we can do is to back of rise above it whereiction and to rise above it where i think we should be looking at is at the foreign agents registration scheme, which is deliberately created in order to

bnng deliberately created in order to bring transparency to the people who work within parliament. and china should be a tier two, tier one country within that scheme . one country within that scheme. >> how does that work? what does that mean? >> what that means is that if you are taking money from either chinese state organisations or chinese state organisations or chinese have chinese companies, you have to register contract and that register that contract and that connection. and so people can see what your connections are with a country like china. >> right? can we ask you about the jaw dropping story on the front page of times? you're front page of the times? you're a health minister. this a former health minister. this is on a report from the is based on a report from the royal college of surgeons, a third of nhs surgeons third of female nhs surgeons have been sexually assaulted by a over the past five a colleague over the past five years, of them in the years, some of them in the operating theatre, some of them dunng operating theatre, some of them during operations and 11 of them report being raped. this is absolutely shattered . absolutely shattered. >> it is awful and it is striking that it's in the last five years. so this isn't historic. nick complaints. this is a snapshot of what the nhs is like today . i is a snapshot of what the nhs is like today. i have is a snapshot of what the nhs is like today . i have the greatest like today. i have the greatest respect for our clinical professions, but there is a

problem with the hierarchical and misogynistic nature of the culture in the nhs. i think that that was a lot of what the nurses strike was about is that a lot of them are fed up with being treated as second class citizens and have this predatory behaviour for by, by by men. and i that it's often i think that it's, it's often very localised. there are some institutions that treat these situations very well, but some do and the profession has do not. and the profession has to have really long, hard look to have a really long, hard look at itself and address this problem. >> i think just just to be clear, so this was an analysis done by the university of exeter, the university of surrey, and the working party on sexual in surgery . sexual misconduct in surgery. it's astonishing that it's taken so long for this to come out in a way, this, i imagine, as you say, it might be quite recent reports, but this must have been going on for decades within it's well, i'm afraid to say that well, no, i'm afraid to say that the the workplace in the the tone of the workplace in the nhs very good, nhs is often very good, frequently very, very bad indeed. >> and it is one of the reasons why people get burnt out and why

they, they, they often say that they, they, they often say that they love the work, but they hate the workplace. and it's this climate of hierarchy of male dominance. it's about power. >> james as well because there's a joke, isn't there, that the surgeons are playing god, that they often feel that they have this power within, this this power within, particularly within surgery. and clearly young trainee surgeons , clearly young trainee surgeons, particularly females, are becoming the victim of this. how do you stamp it out ? right. do you stamp it out? right. >> well, i think that the problem is the nhs is a very federated organisation . there federated organisation. there are 22,000 different organisations and the professions themselves, the royal colleges need to address this. they need better training. listen, we've had this problem in parliament. i mean, i have some humility here. i have seen my own colleagues in parliament treat women appallingly and we are taking steps. it's quite tough. you have to go to boring, tedious , patronising training tedious, patronising training sessions to tell you how to behave towards your colleagues. i didn't particularly enjoy it,

but it was good for me. that's the kind of stuff that surgeons need to do and there have been problems. >> but james, this says two thirds of women working in surgery report having been sexually a male sexually harassed by a male colleague. sexually harassed by a male colitw01e. i know it's astonishing. >> and then but then also when they do go to complain being told might be harmful told that it might be harmful for their the surgeons for their career the surgeons are all powerful and probably best to just sweep it under the carpet within the nhs. that issue of taking complain to a certain level and being then respected for making that complaint . that's a problem. complaint. that's a problem. even in an area that isn't related to sexual assault. isn't it ? it? >> yes, because we have vested within the clinical professionals a huge amount of hierarchical power. and so the people with the greatest expertise are not always the best managers. they're not always the people who who are going to drive that kind of modernisation behavioural modernisation and behavioural reform within the organisation. yes, we have to address this. >> yeah, sure . >> yeah, sure. >> yeah, sure. >> 1 in 3 uk medical students as well intend on emigrating to

practise medicine elsewhere. that's isn't it, that that's heartening isn't it, that they do all their training here and then they're going to live in australia? yeah. yeah. >> listen, medical >> well, listen, the medical profession been quite profession has always been quite international. do travel international. people do travel around and a lot of people come to britain for training and to improve their qualifications. a lot go overseas and the lot of brits go overseas and the idea of moving to australia to work in a hospital and spend some time on the beach is very alluring. the actual numbers that move overseas, though, is not quite what what it sounds. don't forget the medical professions are quite well paid in this country and they do have gold plated pensions that are very, very they wouldn't agree to. >> that's why they've been on bloomin strike for months. >> well, been record >> well, i've been on record junior doctors, nurses, they've all been on strike. >> they they they feel that they are being underpaid. >> they they they feel that they are and g underpaid. >> they they they feel that they are and i underpaid. >> they they they feel that they are and i thinkrpaid. >> they they they feel that they are and i think that. >> they they they feel that they are and i think that the >> and i think that the statistics show that actually the get in the uk is the deal they get in the uk is quite a generous one. it's difficult replicate. difficult to replicate. >> say you the >> now, you say you say the numbers high. people numbers are not high. people going climes like the going to warmer climes like the canbbean going to warmer climes like the caribbean or australia, but shouldn't a system in

shouldn't there be a system in place they have to stay place where they have to stay for least two years after for at least two years after they've training so they've done their training so they've done their training so the gets some of that the taxpayer gets some of that reinvestment? listen, it's very tempting terms. >> there are two problems with it. one is that that is called indented servitude. we kind of got rid with slavery quite got rid of it with slavery quite a ago. the other a long time ago. and the other one doesn't help in the one is it doesn't help in the recruitment of the best people. if bring restrictions if you bring in restrictions like so we have looked at like that. so we have looked at it very, very carefully. but the practical moral point practical and from a moral point of one does feel of view, one does feel frustrated taxpayer frustrated that the taxpayer invests someone's invests in someone's professional and professional qualifications and then they leave the country. but then they leave the country. but the practicalities are that it doesn't work. >> well, lewis also talked to you disposable vapes, you about disposable vapes, which we have discussed on this show before our audience feel really strongly about this. some people will say that vapes have been a fantastic gateway to quitting obviously quitting smoking, but obviously that's started. that's how they started. but they have become something that's how they started. but they have bdifferent,mething that's how they started. but they have bdifferent, whichig completely different, which is addicting. generation of addicting. a whole generation of teenagers to nicotine and the government now proposing to government are now proposing to ban the disposable version . a ban the disposable version. a good news story that doesn't happen very often, does it? lord

bethell no, they have moved really quickly on this. >> agree. >> i agree. >> i agree. >> listen, vapes have been fantastic. a real fantastic. we've got a real problem smoking. you don't problem with smoking. you don't see it in the professional classes, 13% of the country classes, but 13% of the country do still vote. it's the second biggest and it remains a biggest killer and it remains a source of great health inequality. so vaping is a huge modern benefit that is getting a lot of people off smoking. but kids vaping, that's a terrible idea . and these disposable vapes idea. and these disposable vapes are clearly targeting kids. and chris whitty said that kids shouldn't smoke vapes and i agree, that's the former chief medical officer. >> and of course lord bethell, we do not know and we've had the bloke from vaping bloke from the vaping association here admitting it on this they do know this programme. they do not know what damage the chemicals involved have on our bodies. >> i know. so there is, there is a, there is an un resolved question. there and it may yet show that vaping isn't good for you , but there's no evidence for you, but there's no evidence for that at the moment. i just don't think it's a good idea for children to be vaping and i see teenagers in my kids own schools

who are semi addicted are constantly puffing away, constantly puffing away, constantly trying to be bad. >> why do they make bubble gum flavoured veggies if they're not aimed at kids? can i wanted to ask you another thing, and i cleared this with you before, lord bethell. it's suicide prevention. can read very prevention. can you read a very moving powerful piece in the moving and powerful piece in the times about times earlier this year about the of your own mother? the suicide of your own mother? >> well, i thought lucy, >> yes. well, i thought lucy, who spoke earlier about absolutely nail on absolutely hit the nail on the head. yeah, that lucy head. yeah, that was lucy beresford, the psychotherapist, was very was on breakfast. she was very good. mother died was good. my mother died when i was ten years old. she was very lonely. my parents had been divorced because of her alcoholism. small alcoholism. she lived in a small bedsit abandoned bedsit and had felt abandoned by the world and that loneliness really, really mounted to the point a hot bath point where she took a hot bath one night and never woke up. and as a child , that hit really, as a child, that hit me really, really hard . and the thing that really hard. and the thing that hit me hard in particular was that no one wanted to talk about it. my message would it. and i think my message would be that it's very, very important , be that it's very, very important, particularly with children who have hit by children who have been hit by the suicide of a parent to be more open and discuss the

more open and to discuss the problems challenges. nobody problems and challenges. nobody at school talked to you about it. >> adults didn't talk to you about it. >> it yes, everyone wanted >> it was yes, everyone wanted to brush it under. it's so uncomfortable. it uncomfortable. i understand it was the and we were, you was the 1970s and we were, you know, different world know, it was a different world then. and i understand why people didn't broach people didn't want to broach it because troubling because it was a troubling subject. that's a mistake subject. but that's a mistake because got to allow because you've got to allow children to grieve and you've got answer questions got to answer the questions they've needed therapy. they've got you needed therapy. i a amount of i have had a huge amount of therapy an adult. therapy as an adult. >> yeah, but not as a child, correct? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and did your ever talk to >> and did your dad ever talk to you about it? >> found it really difficult. >> he found it really difficult. he was personally heartbroken by the thing. loved my the whole thing. he had loved my mother indeed. and he mother very much indeed. and he himself felt very abandoned. so he really talk about he couldn't really talk about it. but i really needed it. and but i really needed others step in and help me out. >> to your point now, people listening, people talk listening, people have to talk about listening, people have to talk aboyes. i'd like people to be >> yes. i'd like people to be much more open in talking, particularly with children. >> just on there was >> just just on that, there was a discussion week that a discussion last week that we had whether need a for had about whether we need a for minister particularly as minister men, particularly as suicide remains the biggest killer under 45 this

killer of men under 45 in this country, which a shocking country, which is a shocking statistic. you think we statistic. do you think we need a for minister man? >> i'm always i'm always a >> well, i'm always i'm always a little bit suspicious about trying to create a minister for tiddlywinks. yet there is tiddlywinks. but yet there is clearly boys. clearly a problem with boys. i mean, been campaigning on mean, i've been campaigning on and has given me a little bit of and has given me a little bit of an insight into the confusion and difficulties that young men and difficulties that young men and boys have at the moment about what their role is, how they relate to women, how they relate to their relate sexually to, to their feelings . i think there is a bit feelings. i think there is a bit of a crisis amongst men and then at older, i'm in a middle age and the menopause you were talking about that earlier . and the menopause you were talking about that earlier. i think this is another overlooked bit that men are really frustrated about finding a role for themselves later in life. so i don't know if minister is exactly the right thing to do, but for sure , the men of britain but for sure, the men of britain are feeling a little bit lost, i think. i think you've just done a rather good application for the job. >> there we go . >> there we go. >> there we go. >> it's our first minister for men. my real rishi. very good.

yeah, absolutely. thanks, james. good to see you. >> now , dispatches, dispatches >> now, dispatches, dispatches shall we try? >> are you teething? >> are you teething? >> dissatisfaction amongst the pubuc >> dissatisfaction amongst the public the government's public about the government's handung public about the government's handling immigration? guess handling of immigration? guess what? level since before what? highest level since before the referendum. >> right . two thirds of >> that's right. two thirds of those questioned across england , that , scotland and wales said that they with the they are dissatisfied with the way politicians charge are way politicians in charge are deaung way politicians in charge are dealing the issue . dealing with the issue. >> tory supporters, more than half fed up because they half have fed up because they feel is being to feel not enough is being done to stop crossings , stop the channel crossings, while supporters , while among labour supporters, almost three quarters are dissatisfied, mainly because they feel that immigration control creates a negative and fearful environment for migrants in britain. well, we're going to talk to the immigration lawyer, ivan sampson. ivan morning, i guessi ivan sampson. ivan morning, i guess i know which side of that argument you're on. you're on the labour side there, aren't you ? you? >> well, look, i'm on the side of sensible policies . of sensible policies. >> i mean, the rapid spike in those coming people coming across small boats has left a sense of crisis amongst the public. and that's absolutely right, because at the moment we

don't have a control of our borders . it's worrying that borders. it's worrying that people are coming across the channel people are coming across the channel, some of whom don't have identity we don't identity documents. we don't know where they come from, what their background is, and they're allowed freely have roam. in allowed to freely have roam. in the uk . i allowed to freely have roam. in the uk. i don't think allowed to freely have roam. in the uk . i don't think that's the uk. i don't think that's a good approach to have. i think we need to make sure that we know exactly everyone who they are, who's coming across . are, who's coming across. >> but the reason they don't, you might be surprised that unless someone has a identity document , they should be document, they should be detained until we can find out who they are. >> they don't have identity documents is often because they've thrown them away because they're from they're not coming from a country where there is persecution and war and conflict . it . did you persecution and war and conflict . it. did you hear persecution and war and conflict . it . did you hear that? i've lost. >> oh, can you hear us, ivan? >> i think we've lost ivan sampson. we'll try and get him back. sampson. we'll try and get him back . isn't that why they back. isn't that why they crossed the channel with no papers? because they've slung them. but isn't it? >> it is true. but isn't it

funny when you look at these survey results that actually nobody is happy with the immigration system, particularly with illegal immigration, with the illegal immigration, ian, because even those who are, you know, pro more people coming to this country in terms of seeking refuge, they're frustrated by the fact that the backlog is such and the processing is so slow. those who don't want as many people coming in such a short of time in such a short period of time are frustrated because the backlog long and the backlog is so long and the processing is so slow. so nobody is happy with it. >> i think, ivan, i think we might have ivan sampson back. >> you back? are. >> ivan, are you back? you are. >> ivan, are you back? you are. >> ivan, are you back? you are. >> i am back. >> i am back. >> ivan, the point i was trying to to you were to make to you is you were talking about people crossing the channel with no id papers. isn't they've isn't that because they've dumped don't dumped them? because they don't want realise they want people to realise they may come country no come from a country with no conflict, no persecution, no war? >> we can't control what people do. control is the do. what we can control is the way deal with them. and way we deal with them. and that's a problem. we need to have that address these have policies that address these these i've advocated these issues. and i've advocated for now that unless you for a while now that unless you have papers, genuine have id papers, genuine id papers, be detained. papers, you should be detained. now, the problem there's

now, the problem is there's insufficient to insufficient accommodate to detain people. so the infantry is not there. the government has known about this problem for many years and they haven't put in place policies and infrastructure to address them. instead the government's whole policies has been to blame, blame the lawyers, blame the asylum seekers, blame the courts, blame the european convention on. and there i is clearly focussed on trying to get back in and saying it's not our fault and that it's not it's not helpful to have a government who is not seeking to address the problem . but the whole focus the problem. but the whole focus and policies are designed to get back into power. the sooner we have a general election, the better. >> ivan, your what you're saying is encouraging these young men who they are in the majority, 30 year old young men to dump their papers. that's what you're you're virtually encouraging it because they know then they'll.

>> not at all what i'm saying. the opposite. >> they'll be because they'll be detained here and they'll be kept here. so. so why wouldn't they you're they do it? that you're encouraging them to do that? not at all. >> the exact opposite. andrew look, control what look, we can't control what people do. what we can do is have policy to address the problem of course they shouldn't do that. but you know , people do that. but you know, people are desperate, desperate people do desperate things. what we must do is have sensible policies. and as i said , unless policies. and as i said, unless you have a genuine identity document, you should be detained . we can't detain them because the system is broken, is clogged. we don't have sufficient accommodation to detain them. that is a problem that needs to be addressed. okay ivan, thank you very much. >> immigration lawyer ivan sampson there. this is in response to a survey which has found by a think tank called future britain and they have found more more people found that more and more people are dissatisfied immigration. >> thirds are dissatisfied >> two thirds are dissatisfied and only two thirds i'm amazed it's not 90. let us know your thoughts. >> gbviews@gbnews.com is the

email address now . after taking email address now. after taking questions at a vietnam press conference, the president of the united states, joe biden, had this rather surprising announcement . announcement. >> if you don't know what you want at the meeting , if you want at the meeting, if you don't have a game plan, he may have a game plan. he just hasn't shared it with me. but i tell you what, i don't know about you, but i'm going to go to bed . he's going to bed. >> i have to say, i've covered some press conferences in my time with heads of state and prime ministers, foreign ministers. i've never had one ever announced to the press conference they're going to bed kwasi didn't tell us who with ? kwasi didn't tell us who with? well, presumably not the first lady because she's not with him? no. >> on his own. >> on his own. >> hopefully with his teddy bean >> possibly . greg swenson bean >> possibly. greg swenson is chair of republicans overseas uk . good morning, greg. never fails to disappoint biden, does he? with his gaffes? i mean, it would be funny except it genuinely begs the question who

is making the decisions for america? because it's clearly not ? not him? >> yeah, it's definitely not president biden. and it's just another another chapter in this sad history of the white house right now. you know, i think the democrat party, the legacy media, they're starting to come around and at least having to be honest about his cognitive issues and other challenges with his administration . you know, his administration. you know, whether it's kamala or the biden family business or the economy or the border, the crime in big cities, i mean, it's really tragic what's going on there . tragic what's going on there. and then you have this cognitive these cognitive issues that are so obvious now and cjb actually hooked him, you know, pulled him off of the podium when he was in vietnam. and just abruptly ended the press conference because i think he was just going off on a on a tangent. and so they've gone from him correcting his misstatements or correcting the narrative after the fact.

they've moved from that to, you know, to just pulling them off the stage. i mean, it's really troubling. >> what do you think is really going on, greg, with the democrat party? are they just keeping him there and hoping that they can, even if they have to sort of staple him to a cardboard cut—out and roll him onto the stage? they just want to keep him there to the next election? or do they want kamala harris to come in before that election an and take over that presidential role? you know, de facto , no, i think they're facto, no, i think they're waiting . waiting. >> they're keeping him on. they're like, you know, being there by peter sellers from 40 years ago, years ago. you years ago, 50 years ago. you know, this is a really a hoax of a presidency in many ways. you know, they put him in the chair on purpose in 2020, almost as a holding pattern. but but kamala is even weaker in the polls. so the last thing they want is kamala to be president. i think it's i think at some point they will announce that he's not running for re—election. there's no he can he can do this.

no way he can he can do this. the question is, do they do it now? and allow for a proper primary process or nomination fight or election or do they wait till next summer and then pull him and then just have a nomination at the convention? i think it looks like that's what they're trying to do. but either way, there's just no it's just dishonest to think that he can make it to the nomination. >> fascinating . we haven't got >> fascinating. we haven't got time. we'd like to talk to you for longer . for longer. >> thank you, greg. there's so much going on in american politics at the moment. >> it's so interesting. >> it's so interesting. >> think there >> i still don't think there should a ban on age on should be a ban on age on presidential candidate, but i think they should have to undergo test. think they should have to uncs0|o test. think they should have to uncso what test. think they should have to uncso what do test. think they should have to uncso what do you test. think they should have to uncso what do you think? >> so what do you think? >> so what do you think? >> yeah, what do you think? and still come, more on the still to come, more on the shocking 1 in 3 shocking report that 1 in 3 surgeons been assaulted by surgeons have been assaulted by a colleague. >> that warm feeling from >> that warm feeling inside from boxt sponsors of boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather gb news. weather on gb news. >> good morning. for many , >> good morning. for many, there's a bit of a cooler feel around at the moment with some rain parts england in rain across parts of england in particular and also the risk of a little thunder later. taking a

china's appalling record in hong kong. the idea now that they've got one of their own, a spy in the midst of our very own parliament, we can't identify this person alleged, but we can tell viewers and listeners of gb news, it's not a chinese person, it's a british person who went to a british public school as a son of a gp that we can say it's devastating if he has been spying for china . spying for china. >> it is absolutely devastating . of course, it's not the first time that we've had this issue. you'll recall that just over a year ago, m15 warned parliamentarians that christine lee, who they did name, was involved in influence and infiltration operations . and infiltration operations. and then, of course, we've had multiple warnings from the head of m15 in various speeches about the threat china poses . we had the threat china poses. we had the threat china poses. we had the intelligence and security committee of parliament warning that china is carrying out a whole of state campaign in the united kingdom for influence, including espionage. so it was

not necessarily a surprise that there was another spy in westminster. but as you say, what was a shock for all of us, particularly those of us who have encountered this alleged individual, is that he's, as you've said , he's not chinese. you've said, he's not chinese. he's british. >> he worked, we know, with tom tugendhat, who's now the security minister, was seen potentially as the next defence secretary. one wonders now if that's why he didn't get the job, because this bloke was arrested in march. astonishing. it didn't come out before. he also with kearns, also worked with alicia kearns, the the foreign affairs the head of the foreign affairs select committee. these are powerful, people . powerful, influential people. could they potentially have given him classified information i >>i -- >> i don't know what information he had access to, and i wouldn't want to speculate . but i have want to speculate. but i have a very high regard for both tom tugendhat and alicia kearns who've been really leading voices in pointing out for a long time both the threat that

china poses to our freedoms and indeed speaking out on the human rights crisis in china, including hong kong . so i'm including hong kong. so i'm quite certain that they will as soon as they realise there was a problem, they would have been very robust in in in rooting out the source of that problem. and i wouldn't put any blame on them , but i don't have any idea what access of information he would have had. >> we heard noises yesterday from him. a couple of politicians, such as kemi badenoch and i think suella braverman say that we need to have a relationship with china in order to reach our net zero ambitions and do you feel that we've got our priorities is right there? do we what is our relationship like with china? how would you characterise it? how would you characterise it? how necessary is it ? how necessary is it? >> i think we put far, far too much emphasis on the relationship. i'm not one who

would say we shouldn't talk to china. of course. of course we should. even at the height of the cold war, we talked to the soviet union, but the question is not whether engage , but is not whether to engage, but how. and for too long we've been kowtowing to beijing on this question of net zero. i mean, yes , of course, climate change yes, of course, climate change is a major issue. question really , whether china is really, whether china is a reliable partner in that, both because i'm not sure they honour their promises in that regard, but also because , for example, but also because, for example, some of the technology that we need to address net zero is manufactured in china and made by uyghur slave labour in xinjiang . so do we want to xinjiang. so do we want to tackle climate change at the cost of being accomplice to a genocide? i don't think we do. and do we want to do it at the cost of surrendering our national security and freedom? i don't think we should. so i

think, yes, we need to find ways to talk to china , but we should to talk to china, but we should also diversify our relationship and reduce our dependency on china and find other parts of the world to source the materials we need, whether it's for net zero or anything else . for net zero or anything else. >> do you think, benedict, that people watching this programme are listening to this programme are listening to this programme are entitled to know the name of this who was arrested this person who was arrested back in mind back in march, bearing in mind the secretary was the foreign secretary was in china chinese officials, china meeting chinese officials, ministers week. are ministers only last week. are they to know has they entitled to know the has blocked mps from naming him . blocked mps from naming him. >> i understand there are legal reasons and i wouldn't want to do anything that would prejudice a prosecution because if this individual is guilty, i want a prosecution to succeed and to proceed with due process. having said that, i think that people who are or who may be directly affected by this this case ought to have been informed privately . i can understand why the speaker may may not want people

to talk about it publicly or to name him publicly, but people like including myself who have encountered this individual, some of my colleagues have met with with him fairly often. and we may well have shared information with him that we would not have done had we known the concerns. so i think people like us ought to have been briefed privately in advance. the first i knew about it was when well, shortly before the sunday times broke the story. >> yeah . okay. thank you very >> yeah. okay. thank you very much. co—founder of hong kong. watch benedict rogers there . watch benedict rogers there. >> absolutely fascinating. i do still if an mp is going still wonder if an mp is going to think, hell with the to think, to hell with the speaken to think, to hell with the speaker, particularly for standing down at the next election. and the election. get up and name the person, the will punish person, the speaker will punish them not calling them to them by not calling them to speak in a debate probably for months and months. but if they feel that strongly that chinese parliament allow parliament would never allow this person named. but this person to be named. but where the british parliament? >> but what would be the benefit of though? of that, though? >> a proper debate >> well, having a proper debate and discussion because many people arrested people who get arrested get

named idea , named. and the old idea, remember when people were involved in sex cases, please want the name out there because they say the names come forward. >> that's justification. i guess it in that situation, i'm just not sure whether anybody would go, i gave him my go, oh, that guy, i gave him my classified chinese. >> who knows information >> maybe who knows information and maybe i shouldn't have because if they want to know who he is, it's on the front page of the paper. >> i just think it becomes ridiculous when it has been he's been named the times two days been named in the times two days running. all the running. he's all over the internet. so on earth can't internet. so why on earth can't mps in mps discuss it in the parliamentary chamber? the doors. bolted. doors. the horse has bolted. yeah doors. the horse has bolted. yealet know your thoughts. >> let us know your thoughts. vaiews@gbnews.com. think vaiews@gbnews.com. now, i think this news. workers this is some good news. workers wages outstrip pace of wages outstrip the pace of inflation the first time in inflation for the first time in over year. july . inflation for the first time in over year. july. liam over a year. in july. liam halligan here. why i so halligan is here. why am i so sort of sceptical about the fact that might good news? liam that it might be good news? liam is we never have is this because we never have any genuinely no any genuinely good news? no i think it's because, as napoleon said, never a one handed said, there's never a one handed economist, is there? >> the other >> it's always on the other hand, on the one hand, on the other. this is pretty good news, i guess, between may and july,

pay i guess, between may and july, pay across economy went up pay across the economy went up by 7.8% compared to july the previous years. and guess what? that's higher than what, july inflation, which was 6.8. so that means what we call real wages. wages above inflation are actually growing now, which is good news. >> does that not encourage more inflation? if we're having more money in our pockets, potentially. >> but at least you're getting the economy moving at least you're getting people spending. let's just have a look, a quick look at the numbers. there is may—july regular pay up 7.8. july inflation was 6.8. now this ties what we the ties into what we call the triple lock, right? the triple lock. means there's going to lock. it means there's going to be an 8.5% rise in the basic state pension. we think. why is that? because 8.5% is the pay growth number, including bonuses. it's above bonuses. that's why it's above 7.8. and the basic state pension goes up either by pay growth, the inflation number in september, which is out for august, which is out later this month, or 2.5, whichever is the

greater if the basic state pension does go up by 8.5. andrew and bev that will be a rise of £692 a year for the bafic rise of £692 a year for the basic state pension. then £8,814. handy money for the elderly, but low by international standards. >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> and of course there's a great row about this going on at parliament because when the prime minister was challenged about g 20, about the triple lock in g 20, he confirm whether it he wouldn't confirm whether it would stay. however the number 10 they said 10 briefing on monday, they said it's policy. it's still government policy. >> i think there's >> yeah, it's i think there's a real debate about this going on in cabinet. the tories know they need desperately to appeal to younger voters. younger voters are trying on the housing are trying to get on the housing ladden are trying to get on the housing ladder. younger voters you ladder. younger voters who, you know, think baby boomers know, think all the baby boomers are all the money and are taking all the money and they're in many cases. and they're right in many cases. and so is it really worth spending billions, potentially tens of billions, potentially tens of billions of pounds on the triple lock when you could use some of that for money younger voters? >> they vote tory. >> they vote tory. >> yeah, because they vote tory. >> yeah, because they vote tory. >> is this wage increase? yes,

partly. is it the start of the post brexit success story? and what i mean by that is i can't get a builder, i can't get a plumber, i can't get an electrician, i've got tonnes of work needs doing in my house. there's nobody available to do it. are we now having people who have born lived here, done have born here, lived here, done those being able those trades, being able to charge because there's charge more because there's a labour is that labour shortage? and is that a good in the long run? good thing in the long run? >> so i'm very much from a building background. all my family round family are, oh great, come round and builders. i'm and london irish builders. i'm the got away. yeah the one that got away. yeah there is a tightness when it comes looking for skilled comes to looking for skilled trades , plastering, plumbing. i trades, plastering, plumbing. i know that it's very difficult in london and it's in many other cities and even in country areas as well. lots of things going on. i think there's a demographic thing. a lot of the sort of skilled tradesmen in particular, they're in their 50s and their 60s for quite a long time. a lot of people went to university rather than learning a trade. that's part of a trade. i think that's part of the problem. i think is the problem. i think brexit is part the problem too, because part of the problem too, because just came in the just as the irish came in the 50s 60s and 70s to build

50s and 60s and 70s to build britain, basically we've had the poles, moldavians , poles, the moldavians, lithuanians and a lot of those guys have a lot of money guys have made a lot of money and have now gone back and it's harder their counterparts, harder for their counterparts, their successors, to come over. >> so it then like you say, >> so is it then like you say, those guys their 50s and those guys in their 50s and 60s who are working in those who are still working in those trades who are now charging more? is partly what more? and is that partly what we're i think we're seeing? because i think a lot of people would on board lot of people would be on board with that. >> are charging more and >> they are charging more and there's be an there's going to be an adjustment these adjustment adjustment and these adjustment takes know, you takes a long time. you know, you can't watch a youtube video can't just watch a youtube video and suddenly be a plumber. yeah, that's right. it's a long apprenticeship. electrician, carpenter, you know, even a general a building general labourer on a building site, that's a pretty skilled job. just come in off job. you can't just come in off the street. >> and number of >> and the number of apprenticeships in last yean >>i yean >> i think it's like a perennial thing here in the uk, isn't it? just really good at just as we're really good at queuing and we're good at queuing and we're really good at not wimbledon very not winning wimbledon very often. bad some often. we're really bad for some reason at vocational training and is and apprenticeships, and it is a generational it didn't generational thing. it didn't used be like that and you used to be like that and you know, the german economy is in the at the but

the doldrums at the moment, but they a lot of teachers they do have a lot of teachers when to vocational education. >> should we be a should >> should we be a little should we crow just a little bit we little crow just a little bit about the fact german about the fact the german economy is now the basket case of europe when they were so vile about to vote about britain daring to vote to leave the union and our leave the european union and our economy now predicted to grow economy is now predicted to grow quicker that's european quicker and that's the european union germany is the union saying that germany is the european economic powerhouse. >> be powerhouse. » m powerhouse. >> m you know, >> there may be some, you know, schadenfreude germans schadenfreude as as the germans will don't really have a will say, we don't really have a word for that in english, do we? but a lot of trade but look, a lot of our trade still is with the european union. if you add up imports and exports, about half exports, it's still about half our yeah. and it doesn't our trade. yeah. and it doesn't really do us any good. the really do us any good. if the economic powerhouse of the european union is not firing on all cylinders and germany isn't. i mean, there was a study out overnight which i tweeted quite caused controversy on caused some controversy on social media for saying that britain has now overtaken france to world's fifth, i think to be the world's fifth, i think biggest manufacture era, which is a real change. and our car industry is doing pretty well . industry is doing pretty well. yeah, there is lots of stuff going on, but still think the going on, but i still think the sense that we haven't had real

wages positive for so long, that's really hammered the consumer sector. that's hammered investment . that's one reason investment. that's one reason why the economy's been so sluggish. >> good, good news. >> good, good news. >> why do we never hear ministers talking about it ? ministers talking about it? >> i don't know. why don't they? i've known with them the comms operation seems to be it seems to be a mess. >> it is good news. i think bevs bevs take on it is the right one. this is going to take time, but you know, tradesmen but at least you know, tradesmen based are getting now based here are getting now a fair rub of the green and a bit more money. it will take time to for them to come forward so we can get our stuff done. but look, there's another aspect to this. these real wage, this real wage growth is quite punchy. this may be something that causes the bank of england when it meets on the 21st of september, interest rates to put in rate rise. i in another interest rate rise. i don't the federal don't actually think the federal reserve , the central bank is reserve, the us central bank is going do another interest going to do another interest rate rise or if does, it will rate rise or if it does, it will do do it and say that's our absolutely our last one. in terms interest rates, terms of interest rates, what

really now the august really matters now is the august inflation number. will it come down from 6.8% in july? >> isn't it going to go up slightly? >> that's the day before on the 20th of september, and it may be, andrew, because of those petrol rises, may petrol price rises, it may be there's a little caused there's a little uptick caused by the fact we've got a oil price oil prices are up price spike. oil prices are up 30% since june, almost nobody's noticed. that meant we had the sharpest increases in petrol and diesel prices in august in any month , in 23 years. and this is month, in 23 years. and this is hard be causing a ripple across the media. and yet motorists now van drivers know it. >> saudis and that could be the thing that in the end pushes interest rates up again. >> well, there we go. we started out thinking was positive. out thinking it was positive. i told you i had little bit of told you i had a little bit of scepticism we end there a scepticism and we end there on a negative note. right. still to come. thanks liam. nearly a third of female nhs say third of female nhs surgeons say that been sexually that they have been sexually assaulted a colleague over assaulted by a colleague over the years. according assaulted by a colleague over th

of compare it to other professions. so we don't know, for example, how nurses are faring in the workplace, although they have made, you know, there is some movement from nurses to say that they too are are suffering in a sort of hierarchical structure , isn't it? >> i say we talk to lord bethell, the former health minister, and he blamed the male hierarchical structure for these problems. and also in that report, of course, it does identify that 11 report being raped . that's shocking to . raped. that's shocking to. >> yeah. and it's well, it is. i mean , clearly. well, i would be mean, clearly. well, i would be very surprised if they were actually raped in theatre. yeah. so it's hard to know, you know, whether or how that compares to other workplaces, other offices and the other question mark is , and the other question mark is, you know, there's no validation of whether the allegations are true or not. we don't know, for example , the survey only, only

example, the survey only, only certain numbers of people answered the survey. so we don't know of all the people that didn't answer whether they had not experienced. so it's there's a lot of unanswered questions. it was online. it was anonymous . and it's hard to verify why andifs . and it's hard to verify why and it's hard to know how it compares ours to other professions . but that said, it professions. but that said, it is alarming. it is really shocking . and i'm sure there shocking. and i'm sure there will be some kind of movement to try and expose those or highlight these poor practises i'm sure this will potentially lead to more awareness of the problem. yeah >> we've also reading this morning , lucy, about the number morning, lucy, about the number of medics leaving the uk training here and then wanting to go and work overseas. a study of ten, 10,500 people from uk's medical schools found that a third of them, 32, want our

intending to leave to go and practise in australia, new zealand, america and canada. i guess given how difficult it is to work in the nhs, who can blame them ? blame them? >> well , absolutely. but blame them? >> well, absolutely. but just to note , doctors have always left note, doctors have always left the nhl. for 30 years doctors have left the nhs and looking back at the figures since about 2015, those numbers have remained pretty stable. and there's a difference between saying you're going to leave and actually doing it. and even the latest figures that we have, 2022 show that the numbers are pretty much staying average. there was a drop, a fall in numbers during the pandemic. so any increase has just been in relation to that fall. it's pretty much stayed steady . there pretty much stayed steady. there are people who do leave often come back for family reasons , come back for family reasons, and there are good reasons for leaving temporarily. the nhs to

see how things work elsewhere and bring back possibly improvements, or look at how things aren't being done so well. but that said, if it's true and if a third of doctors are are possibly going to leave and we don't know that it is, it's all very well to say you're thinking of leaving. there are calls for some people have some mps have called for there to be a tie in. so because the government heavily subsidises doctors training. so that's the taxpayer that some people have said that it's only right that doctors should pay back some of that money or else the government should agree to pay back some of the student debt because they do come out with quite a lot of debt. i think it's about £100,000 over those five, six years that they should pay five, six years that they should pay back a portion of that every year to sort of tie them in and keep them here. so there are many things that could be looked

at if this really is a problem. we also recruit from overseas. so we can get more people, say, from the indian subcontinent . so from the indian subcontinent. so the figure that the bma has come out with with this survey is again alarming, but it out with with this survey is again alarming , but it doesn't again alarming, but it doesn't necessarily show the whole picture . picture. >> okay. thank you, lucy. lucy johnston there, health and social affairs editor at the sunday express. i'm going to get to your views in just a moment. i'm sorry we haven't read you out any of them yet. first out any of them yet. but first of all, is the news with of all, here is the news with ray addison . ray addison. >> good morning. 10:32. our top stories . the chancellor is stories. the chancellor is defending the british job market despite rising unemployment figures released today across the uk, unemployment rose by 0.1, reaching . 4.3% in july, 0.1, reaching. 4.3% in july, while job vacancies fell to below a million. jeremy hunt says that remains below many of our international peers .

so but but but it is so on. but but but it is something else that actually destroys the high street. i mean that if you can't go to stores like that, you are going to end up going to out of town supermarkets because you can get pretty much all you need. >> and are you going to buy everything online and you're going in your going to be lonely in your bedroom on your own, aren't you? tonya lockdown has made people >> that lockdown has made people that wouldn't normally buy online, and they saw online, buy online, and they saw that more efficient and that it's more efficient and it's that it's more efficient and ifs and that it's more efficient and it's and they carried it's easier and so they carried on buying online. >> something happened in the summer, tell you. so summer, i've got to tell you. so we we were in one of we were in a we were in one of the greek islands, and it shows you a high street effect you like a high street effect that we tried on this and that we tried on this dress and this and we saw it this place. and then we saw it online. it was cheaper. and my daughter was saying, oh, don't worry, buy online. worry, we'll buy it online. i said, in here. said, no, we've gone in here. we've tried it on. we're going to pay extra ,30 that it was to pay the extra ,30 that it was in the shop because we've gone in the shop because we've gone in we've tried on, in there, we've tried it on, we've, we've fabric, we've, we've felt the fabric, we've, we've felt the fabric, we've done and that's what we've done that. and that's what people don't realise that you get great benefit from get such a great benefit from going a shop, feeling going into a shop, feeling something getting something touching it, getting

of fed up with the government on immigration. who are the immigration. who who are the third happy with the third that are happy with the government's immigration policy? that's know. that's what i want to know. i mean, it's mind blowing. >> there a of people. >> there a third of people. >> there a third of people. >> think. do you know who >> but i think. do you know who i think it is? it's the greenies and the lefties people like nigel. >> people like nigel who don't have sense or have any common sense or understanding all. understanding at all. >> you and i, there are too many people legally and far people coming in legally and far too people coming in too many people coming in illegally. of course, he illegally. but of course, he worries gives worries about, oh, it gives a bird for britain, a bird impression for britain, a hostile influence. >> you look at these >> but if you look at these figures, i mean, they are really all over the place, 43% say that immigration has positive immigration has a positive effect which overall immigration has a positive effect it which overall immigration has a positive effect it does which overall immigration has a positive effect it does . which overall immigration has a positive effect it does . 30% ch overall immigration has a positive effect it does . 30% if| overall immigration has a positive effect it does . 30% if it'serall i think it does. 30% if it's managed 37, it isn't managed, it's negative. >> if it isn't managed well, yeah, except that that 48% are talking about wanting it reduced. >> so these figures don't quite come together. if you think that immigration is positive and overall it is. i mean, you're talking obviously about about legal immigration and i know the figures are really high, but a

lot of that's been from hong kongers, ukrainians , thousands kongers, ukrainians, thousands crossing the channel illegally. well, that's then we're in a different area of immigration. first, they are not illegal. they are not a legal to cross the they are crossing the channel illegally without any id papers which they've chucked oven ove r. >> oven >> so if they land here without id papers, that's the illegal bit. >> yeah. that then bit. >> yeah. that is then trumped by being asylum seeker. being an asylum seeker. >> asylum seekers, >> they're not asylum seekers, they're migrants. >> they're not asylum seekers, the well migrants. >> they're not asylum seekers, the well on. nigrants. >> they're not asylum seekers, the well on. ifgrants. >> they're not asylum seekers, the well on. if they 5. >> they're not asylum seekers, the well on. if they come >> well hang on. if they come here actually claim here and they actually claim asylum, whether you like it asylum, then whether you like it or they are asylum seekers. or not, they are asylum seekers. >> i don't like it. >> i don't like it. >> i don't like it at all. >> i don't like it at all. >> and the main thing is, is, you know, we understand look, i'm child. both i'm an immigrant's child. both my were immigrants. my parents were immigrants. they came life for came over, they made a life for themselves. paid taxes themselves. they paid taxes throughout whole and throughout their whole life. and i'm so immigration i'm living here so immigration is a good but not all is a good thing, but not all immigration is equal. so, yes, we we want more we all of course, we want more doctors qualified people doctors and qualified people to come in this country come and work in this country and country progress. and help this country progress. but be the but it's not going to be the same for a low paid worker, and it's definitely not going to be the people are

the same that people that are coming illegally, whether coming over illegally, whether it's not the same thing we it's just not the same thing we do need we do need low do need we do need actually low paid workers. do need we do need actually low pain workers. do need we do need actually low pain mean, 5. do need we do need actually low pain mean, one of the problems >> i mean, one of the problems about food inflation is because we've rid movement, we've got rid of free movement, we've got rid of free movement, we not getting the people we are not getting the people who would normally come from eu countries to pick fruit and vegetables. the result of vegetables. and the result of that we could them 20% that is we could pay them 20% less. result of that is that less. the result of that is that we've got to employ people here to go and do it a much higher wage. his and that contributes to the extra costs that i understand that. >> i understand that. but there's other migration that we need control of. need to get control of. if you're a student here, you're if you're a student here, you're if you're a student here, you study here and then you come to study here and then you're to work for how you're allowed to work for how many years is it? 2 to 4 years on top, and often then they end up staying bringing their up staying here, bringing their families, their i mean, families, bringing their i mean, bringing families bringing their families to study. that's a mind study. i mean, that's a mind blowing you've come over blowing to me. you've come over to students who they're to some students who they're not they're 17, 18, some they're not sort of 17, 18, some of them are an awful lot older with families. >> again, bad . >> and again, too bad. >> and again, too bad. >> do we make choices? >> do we do we make choices? >> do we do we make choices? >> top people from abroad to come study here, boosting

come and study here, boosting our universities, boosting because i think they think it's exclusion of our home grown. you can't leave your family at home. if were to go and work if you were asked to go and work in australia , you want to in australia, would you want to leave love? leave everyone you love? >> choice. it is a choice >> it's a choice. it is a choice that you make. >> actually, these who >> actually, these people who about in the about picking food in the fields. we've got more than how many time many people on full time unemployment benefits . nigel unemployment benefits. nigel they're they've got 2.5 they're not all they've got 2.5 million on incapacity benefit. i don't buy it. >> no, i don't. >>— >> no, i don't. >> a lot of them have got anxiety issues, nervous issues. the mental health issues. i don't buy it . don't buy it. >> but they're swinging from a farmer's point of view. >> they're swinging the lead knife. >> they're swinging the lead kni'farmer can can pay an east >> farmer can can pay an east european 20% less than they would a british worker that would pay a british worker that then what do you think that's right or wrong that keeps food pnces right or wrong that keeps food prices if you employ prices down? so if you employ a british worker, you must you must them on minimum wage must employ them on minimum wage and prices go up, and your food prices go up, which exactly has which is exactly what has happened. which is exactly what has happen> you have to employ european people from eastern europe, have to be paid the minimum wage, too. >> but it's still 20% less than they would get if they were a

british worker. >> but that's not the point of immigration, is it? that's not the point of what's going on. it's of control because it's out of control because what's happening, especially with coming with the people coming over in the boats, taking the the boats, they are taking the dentist appointments, the doctor's appointments, the accommodation,for british people doctor's appointments, the acco havedation,for british people doctor's appointments, the acco have worked)r british people doctor's appointments, the acco have worked very tish people doctor's appointments, the acco have worked very tish pso yle that have worked very hard. so something fixed. so something has to be fixed. so this third of people who are not distracted . dafydd what are they distracted. dafydd what are they satisfied with? >> immigrants? >> immigrants? >> well , there you go. >> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> there we go . >> there we go. >> there we go. >> maybe the third of people who are happy with it are here. >> this is a representative sample country. >> this is a representative sample of country. >> this is a representative sample of course, ntry. >> this is a representative sample of course, nigel, of >> and of course, nigel, of course, nigel is part of the third. >> well, i haven't actually replied to this poll, but i mean, i done so, yes, mean, had i done so, yes, i probably would be. oh but what are happy about, nigel? are you happy about, nigel? well, the whole is it's well, the whole thing is it's what unhappy about. what i'm not unhappy about. first of all, divided the first of all, it's divided the two too not worried two things. i'm too not worried about people who come here legitimately on visa was that's. that's fine. >> think the 700,000 in a >> do you think the 700,000 in a yearis >> do you think the 700,000 in a year is about right or too high? >> well, a question of >> well, it's not a question of i don't think you set i don't think you can set targets on this. i think you targets on this. i do think you

sexually assaulted. that's according to a survey published sexually assaulted. that's acitheing to a survey published sexually assaulted. that's acithe britishi survey published sexually assaulted. that's acithe british journal published sexually assaulted. that's acithe british journal ofiblished in the british journal of surgery . surgery. >> report authors warn that >> the report authors warn that a misogynistic culture in hospitals poses a significant risk also to patients safety. well, stephen dorrell, former health secretary, joins us this morning . good morning, stephen. morning. good morning, stephen. there is there has been for obviously since the beginning of time, sometimes in hospitals, a kind of a power hierarchy . ipp kind of a power hierarchy. ipp there is this idea that surgeons play there is this idea that surgeons play god and maybe this this is telling us these findings that they've been abusing that power in certain settings . in certain settings. >> well, you say maybe i think it's demonstrating as a as a stone cold certainty that they've been abusing that power over their colleagues . over their colleagues. >> and of course, it is partly about the relationship between doctors and colleagues and it's also about the relationship between doctors and patients. and doctors and patients families. can i link this story to the story last week about martha, the little girl who died

sadly at king's college hospital because the culture in the hospital was demonstrably wrong . now, if you have bad culture in the operating theatre and bad culture in treating patients who should have been in an intensive care unit, that's a huge issue for the health service to address. as a matter of urgency. >> you were a secretary of state for health. did you ever, ever imagine you would have a report on your desk, stephen, saying that women surgeons in an operating theatre actually sometimes during surgery , sometimes during surgery, complain of being sexually assaulted by their male colleagues . colleagues. >> well, i suppose the truth is, andrew, that if i'd asked myself that question and i was at fault, probably in not asking it, sadly , i wish i could say it it, sadly, i wish i could say it came as a total surprise. unfortunately i can't say that because we know repeatedly through the health service that

there are too many instances i've quoted martha from last week. i could quote mid—staffordshire. i could quote the bristol baby scandal. there are too many examples within the health service in the living memory of all three of us where what was wrong was that the culture created exactly the kind of power dynamic that bev just described, which is completely inconsistent with good medicine. >> but how do we have these trusts and these hospitals who are always very worried about their reputation? we saw this a little bit in the lucy letby case, even that when concerns were raised, there was management who didn't want the scandal all around the hospital and things were swept under the carpet and it looks looking at some of these case studies, is that something similar has gone on. so, for instance, there was one tray knee surgeon , a female one tray knee surgeon, a female clinician in the operating theatre , or the male surgeon was

theatre, or the male surgeon was operating and was sweating and leant in and basically wiped his brow on her breasts and did it 2 or 3 times. she was so uncomfortable in the room, she couldn't say anything. she handed him a towel and he said, no, i'll carry on wiping my face on chest. it's much more on your chest. it's much more fun . now, in that situation, fun now. now, in that situation, what you do if you've got what do you do if you've got a management going to say, management who's going to say, you what, it's only bit you know what, it's only a bit of a very busy and of fun. he's a very busy and a very man, you very clever man, and you shouldn't undermining him shouldn't be undermining him like that. just ignore it. what shouldn't be undermining him lik well, the first question, the first answer to your question is that management should . that management should. >> steven. oh, no , we might we >> steven. oh, no, we might we might get him back. let's see if we can get steven back. we're having a few gremlins this morning. >> steven. saying he he >> steven. dora was saying he he is not totally surprised by this. astonished to read this. i was astonished to read it. but of course, i've never worked in health service. but he was for was the secretary of state for health. he says he wasn't

health. yeah, he says he wasn't surprised that i am i surprised by it as a woman? >> as a woman, i don't >> i guess as a woman, i don't find surprising. find it as surprising. >> sorry you were answering. >> bev yeah. >> bev yeah. >> so , so sorry. the point i was >> so, so sorry. the point i was seeking to make is that across the health service, this is a culture question. bev asked me the question, should managers be open for this kind of story and should they react to it? to which there is only one answer. and of course the answer is yes. i can. i also put the question you quoted the instance of this woman surgeon who was in effect, sexually assaulted during surgery. what was going on around that operating table , who around that operating table, who wasn't even the most senior surgeon, according to the press reports , who was doing that? reports, who was doing that? what on earth was going on in the professional the professional community in that operating theatre ? who must have operating theatre? who must have seen what was going on, reference reverend steven rev

lawrence there is a sense of white coat syndrome patients get it, which is when you go into a hospital and you see a white coat and a name badge and you are instantly intimidated by that person and it's very difficult to stand up. >> clearly, even for the junior staff, i completely understand that. >> but i also say again , it is >> but i also say again, it is totally inconsistent . comte with totally inconsistent. comte with good medicine or with any professional code of conduct. and so you're right to say there's an issue for here management. of course there is. i also think there's an issue here for professional regulators because every person in that operating theatre from the most senior surgeon to the to the nurses and the other professional staff who were in that operating theatre every one of them had an obligation to report that incident to their to raise concerns in the jargon. yeah presumably none of them did. yeah that's what was wrong

in that operating theatre. >> yeah. stephen thank you. stephen dorrell, the former health sector three. we're going to go now to an nhs doctor, doctor frankie jackson. spence good morning, frankie . good morning, frankie. presumably i hopefully you could hear some of some of that conversation . what is the conversation. what is the culture like, particularly for women in in the nhs? does this report surprise you ? report surprise you? >> i think the report is incredibly upsetting, but you know, i agree. >> it's not totally surprising. there is a real hierarchy in medicine and there is opportunity for this power to be exploited and i don't work as a surgical trainee, but surgical training does involve learning skills from your senior colleagues. and, you know, particularly in the operating theatre, you really do need to learn from your seniors. theatre, you really do need to learn from your seniors . and so learn from your seniors. and so some seniors do have the opportunity to, you know, take advantage of that power and it's not surprising to me that junior colleagues would be afraid to

speak out because of the potential repercussions that would have on their training opportunities. you know, if you're placed in a small district hospital and there's a few consultants you want to have enough time to , you know, get enough time to, you know, get into those surgeries and learn the skills. yeah. and there's a lot of shame around, you know, reporting sexual harassment and things that. so it doesn't things like that. so it doesn't it doesn't surprise me at all. >> and frankie , do you do some >> and frankie, do you do some consultants obviously wouldn't expect you to name anybody, but do they get a reputation for it? trainees, perhaps are warned. be careful of that one in. >> i feel very lucky. you know, i've read quite a lot of these case reports that i haven't experience it myself. of course. consultant i get reputations for their personality and it's very easy to be like , oh, it's just easy to be like, oh, it's just what they're like. and i haven't seen it myself. when it comes to sexual harassment or assault. but but you know, in general, mannerisms that might be unfavourable to work alongside, you definitely do you kind of

get away with it the more senior you are in a hospital and it's because of the power you hold? >> yeah, because it's male dominated to frankie yeah, absolutely . absolutely. >> although stats do show that more women are going into medicine, so hopefully we, we will close down on that power and gender imbalance. >> i hope so. there's another story today which i'd love to ask you about, which is the number of nhs trainees or young doctors who want to one day go and live in america to australia, etcetera , to a are australia, etcetera, to a are you one of them? but if so, but also why do people feel that that would be more attractive than working in the uk? yeah i mean, the previous story leads quite nicely into this. >> it just demonstrates that the nhs is not a particularly desirable place to work at the moment. if you think about medical students, these are top students that have worked tirelessly through school to get grades, to get into medical school. they're working really

hard through med school for five, six years, taking on almost £100,000 worth of debt to then work in an environment that is underpaid. then work in an environment that is underpaid . you know, we could is underpaid. you know, we could talk about the strikes. we've seen a massive pay cut over the last 15 years, but also the culture in the workplace isn't great, morale isn't great, and it's hugely understaffed. you know, it becomes a vicious cycle . you hear about all these stories , you're not getting paid stories, you're not getting paid very well. you move abroad. that creates further rotor gaps, which makes it harder for the people that have stayed. and so unless there is an intervention in this, is honestly going to spiral and get worse. but it doesn't it doesn't surprise me because these are very skilled and highly educated people and a medical degree is filled with transferable skills as you would be snapped up if you wanted to transition into another industry . i myself graduated five years ago and quite a number of my

colleagues have left the nhs and been snapped up by consulting companies or moved abroad to be paid almost double for a better work life balance . work life balance. >> okay. >> okay. >> don't go, frankie. don't do it. stay here. we need you. >> dr. frankie jackson at the moment. >> very good. >> very good. >> very good . now we're talking >> very good. now we're talking about the china spy saga, which is on a spotlight on britain's china's relations and challenged britain's stance the britain's stance towards the country. political editor country. our political editor christopher hope joins us from westminster morning. westminster this morning. >> wright christopher, i'm >> chris wright christopher, i'm a bit sort of cynical about this story. just tell me why it matters, because all i can see is a 20 odd year old adviser , is a 20 odd year old adviser, researcher within parliament who he says he's done nothing wrong. we aren't naming him. and yet one of the newspapers, the times is going after him. is it really something to worry about ? is going after him. is it really something to worry about? i think it is because in that building you can see a photograph behind me, 19,000 people have access to that building . building. >> ministers, mps, researchers ,

>> ministers, mps, researchers, as they move around away from pubuc as they move around away from public gaze. and the concern is if you get people who are augned if you get people who are aligned to the chinese state, who is stopping them going to talk to ministers using the letterhead of mps to go write to ministers, ministers reply i mean , appreciate it's not the mean, appreciate it's not the kind of deep state bev behind there, but it's, it's access to things which some would say given china's position as being a challenge economically to this country, it's a worry about i mean, this guy, this individual, we're not naming, he denies completely any involvement with the chinese state. but there is a there's alarm. i mean, m15 , i a there's alarm. i mean, m15, i think, warned 18 months ago about infiltration into the house of commons. and that's the worry. do there are no worry. i do know there are no plans review who are the plans to review who are the 19,000 who have these 19,000 people who have these passes , including there's passes, including me. there's no attempt that . i think attempt to look at that. i think they feel that they've they may feel that now. they've blown at least blown the whistle, or at least now they've they've pointed out there has been an arrest made that might calm it all down. but i think this idea of spying is never going to go away. it was

ever thus. bev kemi badenoch, one of the cabinet ministers, the business secretary, when she was challenged about the fact that britain continues to have links with china. >> we the foreign secretary >> we know the foreign secretary was china a weeks ago, was in china a few weeks ago, she we can't afford cut she said. we can't afford to cut ties with with but the ties with with china. but the reason staggering reason was staggering because she it's important that she said it's important that britain needs china to reach its net zero targets. there's no hopein net zero targets. there's no hope in hell of china being persuaded by britain or any other country to reach its net zero targets. most of which most of people watching this program and listening to don't agree with anyway . well the irony, of with anyway. well the irony, of course, is china is doing not much to reach its net zero target, not even has won the uk , of course, is an outlier in g7 countries in cutting emissions and trying to show leadership on this space. >> a better case that ms badenoch may have made would be the fact that china is making the fact that china is making the batteries for this new electric mini she was unveiling the plans for that on monday in cowley near oxford. andrew, that

might case. another, might be a better case. another, better case could about better case could be about artificial intelligence because better case could be about artific is intelligence because better case could be about artific is forging ence because better case could be about artific is forging ahead ecause better case could be about artific is forging ahead with;e better case could be about artific is forging ahead with al, china is forging ahead with al, not really thinking about how this might affect the rest of the world. and i think the attempt by pm rishi sunak to convene a massive summit in november on al to which china will probably be invited, is an attempt to bring them back into the fold. what you're seeing now andrew movement of andrew and bev is a movement of the dial, the almost the swingometer. but back when david cameron was the pm, george osborne, i went on a trip to shanghai 747 with bosses trying to win deals for british companies that went the other way completely under boris johnson and liz truss a sign of phobes not keen to do any deals with them and it's come back more into the middle where we have to talk to china to try and do a deal with them, but also be very wary of what they're up to on the security grounds. very wary of what they're up to on and;ecurity grounds. very wary of what they're up to on and;ecurity stillnds. very wary of what they're up to on and;ecurity still going to >> and are we still going to invite to invite china, do you think, to this conference because this conference on al? because they'll for their they'll only use it for their own advantage as they're not

interested britain ? interested in helping britain? >> they will. i think >> i think they will. i think that although there's very that although there's a very noisy china hawk group in the tory backbenches led by iain duncan smith , senior players in duncan smith, senior players in number ten think that's very number ten think that's a very small of people and more small group of people and more broadly , there is a recognition broadly, there is a recognition you must talk to china and talk to them. and part of that is bringing them bringing them to this ai conference. it's this major ai conference. it's probably all our interest probably in all our interest that that that china is in that conversation . conversation. >> all right. thank you, chris. you know, honestly, i just what's a day when i wish i was gin in here and not coffee? because it just despair? i just despair. 2019 we had chris skidmore signing this letter , skidmore signing this letter, inflation, bragging about the fact that we were going to be the first, first, first western country, the first major economy to pass net zero emissions law. we're so happy we're the first nafion we're so happy we're the first nation to destroy our country on the route to the religion that is net zero. before any of us

had really had a conversation about whether we wanted to go net zero or not, and the impact it's having on everybody's gas bill, bill, you're bill, electric bill, you're going rid of your boilers going to get rid of your boilers in your kitchen. >> you're going to have to you're going to have seen nothing yet. there's no infrastructure for electric cars, costs, what, £30,000 cars, which costs, what, £30,000 as part of net zero is the mayor of london with his wretched, vile expansion of the ultra low emission zone and it's not a london thing. it's coming to towns and cities all over britain. and now we discover the reason we need to keep to talking china. and i support that we need to talk to that we might need to talk to china is not because we want to get business and jobs out of them, because we want to make them, because we want to make them net zero them reach their net zero targets, and hope targets, mind blown. and i hope we reach our own when targets, mind blown. and i hope we building reach our own when targets, mind blown. and i hope we building one ach our own when targets, mind blown. and i hope we building one coal ur own when targets, mind blown. and i hope we building one coal fired/n when the building one coal fired power china power station a week in china anyway , if it makes any sense to anyway, if it makes any sense to you, do let me know. >> vaiews@gbnews.uk . com is the >> vaiews@gbnews.uk. com is the email. we're going to be joined in just a little while by human rights talk rights lawyer david hay to talk about that more and about the fact that more and more of you are dissatisfied with the is handling with how the country is handling immigration. this is britain's newsroom gb news

gb news radio . gb news radio. >> it's 1027 1127 1120 i keep getting mixed up . getting mixed up. >> you just keep adding. you always keep wanting there to be extra time. i think you just enjoy so looking enjoy because we're so looking forward to mark and afters forward to mark and pip afters because such a great show. because it's such a great show. >> it's now 11 2726 it's britain's news in one gb views with andrew pierce and bev turner. so we are right around

two thirds of british public are unhappy way the unhappy with the way the government handles immigration. >> given that it's at >> ian given that it's at its highest since before highest level since before the brexit talk brexit vote, we're going to talk to the human rights lawyer, david who's a great david haigh, who's who's a great friend program. friend of this program. >> probably of >> david, you're probably one of those the third who's those who is the third who's happy because says while there's hundreds of thousands of people pounng hundreds of thousands of people pouring in here, that's very good for your bank balance . good for your bank balance. >> good morning to both of you. i think i think, you know, the survey is probably a good reflection of how country is reflection of how the country is thinking. i don't think, you know, if you if you want to say there's two sides of the story that, you know, people that welcome asylum seekers and people that don't or whoever it may no one's really happy. may be, no one's really happy. >> policy of the government, >> the policy of the government, even though rishi sunak says it's working terms of stop it's working in terms of stop the boats clearly isn't . the boats clearly isn't. >> and at the same time, you know , from human know, from a human rights perspective, seeing perspective, i'm seeing genuine asylum suffering and asylum seekers suffering and being vilified . and so neither being vilified. and so neither neither side as it were, if it is a side issue, is winning.

neither side as it were, if it is a side issue, is winning . so is a side issue, is winning. so i can i fully agree with the report. it seems a very sensible one. one. >> one. >> how many how many non genuine asylum seekers, david, do you see? tell us honestly, we i mean , you know, there are a considerable number and i've mentioned before , back when i mentioned before, back when i was a trainee solicitor , you was a trainee solicitor, you know, even then there were immigration scams and you would see them time and time again. >> so, you know, and that's quite a while ago. you see quite a while ago. so you see you them a lot. there you do see them a lot. there is a, know, a considerable a, you know, a considerable commercial benefit people commercial benefit for people coming country. so coming to this country. so people take that risk. so people will take that risk. so there many there's a there are many and there's a growing industry growing nefarious industry around those people to around enabled those people to come in illegally . and this is come in illegally. and this is just you know, the numbers are literally just an example of that. i think one thing that does concern me, though, is if the rishi sunak genuinely believes , as is the comments put believes, as is the comments put out with this information, that he is succeeding in his stop the boats policy, then we need to start looking at his grasp on reality. how did the genuine asylum seekers that you meet,

david, feel about those who are gaming the system to come over here and make money sometimes through nefarious means ? i think through nefarious means? i think genuine asylum seekers are suffering because wherever you go suffering because wherever you 9° up suffering because wherever you go up and down the country, because of the non genuine asylum seekers that aren't coming in here and abusing the system, anyone that is an asylum seeker now is wrongly tagged and you know that they are genuine and that they are the people that you know that we can blame various ills in the country on. and they are suffering. they are suffering as well as suffering abuse as well as changes in the law that will or should do in terms of deter the non genuine asylum seekers. it's also harming them as well. so they are suffering of the policies as well, greatly . and policies as well, greatly. and it's, you know, it's a badge of dishonour now to have the asylum seeker and one that can get you physically harmed . so it's a physically harmed. so it's a serious issue , but do you ever serious issue, but do you ever hear those genuine asylum seekers express their anger at

those who are gaming the system ? >> 7- >> yes ?- >> yes , 7 >> yes , absolutely, because they >> yes, absolutely, because they are bringing a bad name to the genuine people. >> so, you know, if you have in your local town up and down the country, you have a hotel or a house that's housing asylum seekers, you don't distinguish between the genuine ones and the non genuine ones. everyone is getting tagged with the bad label and that's harming the genuine people . and so, yes, genuine people. and so, yes, absolutely they have you know, many, many people have said to me that that, you know, they are vilified because the vilified because of the non genuine seekers . genuine asylum seekers. >> and what's the percentage, david, you've been very honest here admit a lot of here and admit you see a lot of people aren't genuine. people who aren't genuine. what is the percentage, who's genuine in those who are, in your view, in those who are, as it, the as bev would call it, gaming the system of the ones that i've seen, and that's the one that i've seen. >> so it's not, you know, you can't it's not a reflection of the nationality and the ones that, you know, i only help people that i think are genuine. but the ones that do come

through i would again, through, i would say and again, in about 20% in my experience, about 20% genuine, only 20% >> so 80. but that's in my experience. >> so that's probably typical. >> so that's probably typical. >> so that's probably typical. >> so 80% are lying . >> so 80% are lying. >> so 80% are lying. >> yeah, correct. i would say commercial, commercial interest, they're coming in. they're not coming trying to come here because they're suffering . because they're suffering. >> david that's a shocking figure. horror that's a shocking. it is. >> i agree. it's an absolute shocking figure with those people. >> so the 80% who are coming here because they want to improve their quality of life, they're not they're not escaping murderous intent by a particular political regime . those people political regime. those people who are coming here to make a better life, why aren't they taking any of the legal routes to get here? david why aren't they just applying to be because they just applying to be because they just applying to be because they just wouldn't qualify on our points based system. i presume to say ? presume you're going to say? >> absolutely. i mean , in the >> absolutely. i mean, in the general say , for general there, say, for instance, unskilled, unskilled workers with no real connections

here. there is no there no here. so there is no there is no genuine kind of legal route that they could come here on the route they can come here on route that they can come here on is coming across the channel which cost them few which would cost them a few thousand pounds. so it's a you know, course it's risk to know, of course it's risk to their but you at their life. but if you look at it from perspective in it from their perspective in terms their life , terms of improving their life, it's a risk that as we can see, thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands are perfectly happy to take. but like i said earlier on, you know, i mean, i help, you know, i help genuine people, mostly from the middle east that are really suffering in those parts of the world, particularly in that are in the gulf states that are genuinely their lives at genuinely have their lives at risk . and the significant number risk. and the significant number of people that are coming that are not genuine are harming them. >> david and thank you for being so frank. >> david. david hey, the human rights lawyer down there in cornwall, well, that is a staggering figure. but i'm not surprised it. think surprised by it. but i think it's great that he admitted it. yeah, 80% him. yeah, because it's 80% for him. it's everywhere, if it's going to 80% everywhere, if not higher .

not higher. >> possibly. who knows ? >> 7. >>i 7- >> i would ? >> i would look, you see 7 >> i would look, you see the you see the boats coming across the channel. do you see? 99% channel. what do you see? 99% young men in their 30s or younger. >> you see, i think that. >> you see, i think that. >> but that's because the journey is dangerous. yes. so but yes, but also, if you have to cross several countries , you to cross several countries, you try, you know, trying to get your kids to walk across the park isn't easy. you can't often get kids and women and families going across . so that's why it's going across. so that's why it's the men, because they get here and then they want to make money and then they want to make money and they will bring over and then they want to make money and families. will bring over and then they want to make money and families. sometimes ver and then they want to make money and families. sometimes and their families. sometimes and sometimes they are legally they have right that. but have a right to do that. but that shock, that figure of 80% of gaming the system of people just gaming the system and are already full up . and we are already full up. right. still to come, the ongoing row over the american bully dog. should the breed be banned following an attack on an 11 year old girl? we're going to be going through that story and more with our panel. but first, here's the news headlines with ray allison . on

can't send these people just back to france. >> why not? >> why not? >> that's where they came from. >> that's where they came from. >> well, no, they didn't come from there. they quite clearly didn't come from there. >> crossed channel >> they crossed the channel from france , a safe country. >> they crossed the channel from fraitheya safe country. >> they crossed the channel from fraithey passed ountry. >> they crossed the channel from fraithey passed through france to >> they passed through france to get calais . do get get to calais. why do they get to to to britain to calais? to come to britain when the would turn when the french would turn around? would turn around and say, hang sec. say, well, hang on a sec. they're problem. the they're not our problem. in the same that people trying to same way that people trying to get back to france from morocco and tunisia and places like that come through britain now, would you suggest the french send them back here? because they've landed country to get to landed in our country to get to france. >> france, send them back . >> france, i'd send them back. >> france, i'd send them back. >> okay. would you would you >> okay. but would you would you send ? send them? >> interested in france. >> i'm not interested in france. i'm britain. i'm running i'm running britain. i'm running our you'd be perfectly >> so. so you'd be perfectly happy moroccans you happy for those moroccans or you from french speaking previous colonies who can't get into france at the moment, get a visa to come to britain, a holiday visa or whatever. then they cross the channel in the opposite direction and end up not happening very often , not happening very often, though, is it? >> i mean the numbers, but it's
