wading in attack and rishi sunak wading in again in other news, keir starmer has been slapped down by the european union. has this cost him is eu migrant deal the next general election has the math slipped? is this a catastrophic political blunder? i'll also be discussing this as well. shocking news coming out of wandsworth, which is of course, where daniel khalife, the terror suspect, managed to escape from underneath food escape from underneath a food lorry. apparently only about 30% of their prison guards are the day off that day. do you not think that's a little bit weird? and this one as well. now, after the old covid vaccine control ac, i think that people are potentially more reluctant to get jabbed. right. but is this now having a knock on effect to kids, isolate warnings are now in force for schoolchildren because so few of them are getting the measles jab. do parents have a responsibility to jab their kids? should you make the measles jab mandatory ? the measles jab mandatory? patrick christys. gb news.

after a half £1 billion investment in tata steel has put 3000 jobs at risk . the 3000 jobs at risk. the government says it will support more than 12,000 jobs in the sector. overall though, tata has beenin sector. overall though, tata has been in talks with the government to switch from coal to electric furnaces in an effort to reduce carbon emissions by around 1.5. business and trade secretary kemi badenoch says the government is saving the industry . industry. >> this is good for the taxpayer , this is good for the workforce because actually when we do have new electric arc furnaces, we're going to be able to have many more industries. we can have offshore wind, there'll be a whole redevelopment of the sites . this is actually a great deal not just for pothole, but but for the uk. and what i would say to people who are concerned about job losses is that we do understand and we have a transition plan in place that's funded up to about million funded up to about £100 million to make sure that people have skills to retrain . skills to retrain. >> but the shadow business secretary, jonathan reynolds, says the government is trying to

twist the narrative. >> i think only this conservative government could spend half £1 billion, making thousands of people redundant. >> i was at port talbot yesterday. >> i was talking to the workforce, so of course they support green steel. of course they want to see this transition take place. but they they were promised they'd be a part of it. they were promised they'd be consulted on the plans for the future. and fundamentally , this future. and fundamentally, this should story about should be a story about more jobs. there huge jobs. there are huge opportunities for green in opportunities for green steel in the uk and the way that this has been presented to them obviously has worried . has them worried. >> train drivers have announced they'll strike at the end of this month in their long running dispute over pay. the aslef union says its members at 16 train operators will walk out on the 30th of september and the 4th of october. the action will coincide with the conservative party annual conference. the union said the strikes would force train operators to cancel all services is causing travel disruption for passengers . 80

disruption for passengers. 80 prison officers at hmp wandsworth did not attend their shifts on the same day that daniel khalife escaped from prison. the 21 year old escaped from wandsworth prison last week and was later arrested after a four day manhunt. khalife disappeared while awaiting trial after being charged with terror offences in january . an offences in january. an investigation would look at whether the prison followed relevant protocols . labour has relevant protocols. labour has pledged to create temporary so—called nightingale courts to speed up asylum decisions. the party is also pledging to hire over 1000 home office caseworkers to clear the claims backlog and fast track decisions for applicants from certain countries. they plan to stop using hotels, barges and former military sites to house asylum seekers , which they claim cost seekers, which they claim cost taxpayers over £2 billion a year . and finally, the iconic black sheep jumper worn by diana,

princess of wales , has sold for princess of wales, has sold for £920,000 at auction in new york. the jumper, which shows a black sheep among a row of white ones, was discovered in an attic in march by designer joanna osborne . it was famously worn by diana at a polo match in june 1981. shortly after her engagement , shortly after her engagement, this is gb news across the uk on tv , in your car, on digital tv, in your car, on digital radio, and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now it's back to . patrick back to. patrick >> keir starmer has had an absolute shocker. the mask has supped absolute shocker. the mask has slipped and blair 2.0 has come out to play. if the labour leader had just kept his mouth shut on immigration, he was home and hosed at the next election. but he decided to put his big boy pants on and take event with him to roleplay as a prime minister around europe. i'm here at the hague now. many people, of course, think he should

actually bumped into tony actually have bumped into tony blair there, but that is very much separate and we're much a separate issue. and we're going we're going to knock some heads together and show that we can be trusted world can be trusted on the world stage and sort out the migrant crisis . well, in reality, what's crisis. well, in reality, what's happenedis crisis. well, in reality, what's happened is that keir starmer has tried to float a deal that was utterly doomed to failure. would certainly result in would almost certainly result in us illegal us taking more illegal immigrants now immigrants than we do right now and do nothing to cut the migrant hotel bill will migrant hotel bill and will bnng migrant hotel bill and will bring closer to europe. all bring us closer to europe. all the work he puts in trying to convince people that he's no longer a signed up remainer has gone completely out the window and he's alienated anybody who voted for brexit. loads of people in the red wall people who live in the red wall areas and anybody who wants to take fewer illegal immigrants, which most people . which i think is most people. and he's also been and crucially, he's also been completely mugged off by brussels . eu diplomats slapped brussels. eu diplomats slapped down his suggestion, saying that they can't even get their own house in order. so there goes the big attempt to look powerful on world stage . he has also on the world stage. he has also unwittingly exposed what a slow

moving, divided , dysfunctional moving, divided, dysfunctional juggernaut of misery . the juggernaut of misery. the european union actually is. the dubun european union actually is. the dublin migrant agreement didn't work . anybody who says it did is work. anybody who says it did is lying. okay? because if it worked that well, then why has the eu spent the last seven years or so trying to come up with an alternative and now now they want each country take they want each country to take a minimum 30,000 people or pay minimum of 30,000 people or pay ,20,000 for each one that they don't take quarter don't take just under a quarter of a million people crossed. the eu's borders in the eu's external borders in the first eight months of this year . that is up 18% on last year, the highest since 2016. and let's be honest, it's only going to increase. so it doesn't take a genius to work out that signing us up to a deal now will be bad for news years to come. countries with a large population and economy will take more. apart from the fact that germany and france have just stopped taking margaret from italy because they say the hauans italy because they say the italians aren't doing their bit , despite lampedusa welcoming more than 8000 people in the last of days. and the

last couple of days. oh, and the whole has stalled anyway whole plan has stalled anyway because and poland, who because hungary and poland, who appear among the only appear to be among the only countries left in europe who actually their culture, actually value their culture, are dead against it anyway. keir starmer has tried to grandstand , failed, tried to come up with a policy, has failed, tried to foster closer ties to europe, which is political suicide . but which is political suicide. but he's also failed at that and he hasn't even got the result that he wanted. so currently under the tories we are obviously doing an absolutely appalling job of controlling our borders. there is no messing around with that. that's a fact. but the fact is, as well that keir starmer was happy to let the european dictate our european union dictate our border policy to us and that in my is even worse . well, my view, is even worse. well, listen, i think i want to hear from you. gb views gbnews.com. would you have thought that it might be a good thing to outsource our asylum seeker quota to brussels? do you have faith that we would be able to

obstruct a good deal there that meant that we would actually take fewer people? do you think that would have been a good thing? views a gbnews.com. thing? gb views a gbnews.com. get but slightly get in touch. but slightly pivoting. it was the manhunt pivoting. now it was the manhunt that nation, that captivated the nation, escaped terror suspect daniel khalife, spent three days on khalife, who spent three days on the run london before being the run in london before being apprehended last saturday. and now has emerged that on the now it has emerged that on the day khalife escaped from day that khalife escaped from hmp 80 yes, 80 prison hmp wandsworth 80 yes, 80 prison officers skipped shifts. so the revelations have raised questions over the reliability of britain's prison security and whether the government's inquiry will discover any further shortcomings . it's hard to see shortcomings. it's hard to see how much shorter those comings could be, but let's turn now to our home and security editor mark white. mark, it's a heck of a lot of people off work. >> yeah, 39% of the rooted staff that should have been on that day. so normally with 1600 odd inmates in wandsworth prison, you would expect more than 200 prison staff. but as you said,

80 did not turn up for work on that particular day. however there we have heard from the justice secretary, alex chalk , justice secretary, alex chalk, in earlier statements. he made about the escape of daniel khalife. he said it was not due to staff shortages , that there to staff shortages, that there was a minimum safe level of staffing at the prison, that there were prison officers on duty in the prison kitchen, of course, where we knew you or know that daniel khalife was working, that there were prison officers on duty in the gatehouse where these vehicles leave and entering the prison are supposed to be checked . are supposed to be checked. >> it's quite hard to claim that everything was all right when a bloke escaped it. >> well, certainly in terms of the checks , it's clear that if the checks, it's clear that if checks did take place , they checks did take place, they weren't checks that were credible and efficient enough to be able to see that someone was to the underside of the

strapped to the underside of the lorry. you were supposedly looking under. so there are some real questions to ask about that. but with regard to the staffing, we're told that it is not at all uncommon for there to be very significant , urgent be very significant, urgent absentee or absenteeism from that prison with between 36 and 48% of staff missing on any given day. now we've heard from shabana mahmood, the justice secretary, the shadow justice secretary, the shadow justice secretary, i should say. she has said with regard to the fact that 80 members of staff didn't show up for work on that day, it is astonishing saying that almost 40% of the planned staffed did not turn up to their shift on the day of the escape at hmp wandsworth. this makes it clear that the dire conditions at the prison are having wide ranging implications, including

on staffing levels. so she's clear. she blames it actually on the fact that conditions within the fact that conditions within the prison system and within wandsworth in particular are having a deleterious effect on on the staff and causing them perhaps to be lacking in any motivation or even worse than not being ill or not in any mental state. >> i can't understand that to a point. but i mean, it's not a crash, is it? it is a it is a prison. and we tend to put bad people in prison. but mark, thank you very much. mark white there, our homeland security edhon there, our homeland security editor. as you were hearing a little on, keir little bit earlier on, sir keir starmer has unveiled his plan to tackle channel migrant tackle the channel migrant crisis, pledging to up crisis, pledging to set up special fast track nightingale courts to tackle asylum backlog applications and attempting to negotiate a deal with the eu in return for smashing the smuggling gangs. now it comes as

the new gb news people's poll found that 68% of conservatives and 67% of leavers think that immigration action has made crime worse, as do nearly half of all voters, fuelling concerns about britain's migration troubles. look keir starmer i think , thought he might have think, thought he might have cracked it. i think he went over to the european union to try and grandstand a bit on the world stage. he's off to meet macron. et cetera. and i can understand that wants to seem like that he wants to seem like somebody can friend to somebody who can be a friend to all. look, this is me on the all. and look, this is me on the world stage. fine. that's the kind of thing that leader kind of thing that a leader would do. i get that. but you would do. i get that. but if you do go there, really make sure that you are going to end up with workable plan. not with a workable plan. you're not going being mugged off going to end up being mugged off by and you're going by brussels and you're not going to alienate, i say it, to alienate, dare i say it, pretty everybody in the red pretty much everybody in the red wall that's 68% of wall and maybe that's 68% of people well actually want people as well who actually want you something about you to do something about illegal immigration. he is not distancing himself. i suspect, far for far enough from tony blair for a lot of people. former labour

minister europe, minister for europe, denis macshane dennis, macshane joins me now. dennis, thank as always. thank you very much as always. >> afternoon. good >> good afternoon. yes good stuff. enjoyed marvellous stuff. i enjoyed your marvellous editing lots and editing. i agree with lots and lots it and i'm very glad lots of it and i'm very glad you're one of the only presenters i've heard who's pointing that the eu in the pointing out that the eu in the sense of brussels is powerless in this because germany and france, as you rightly said, have all access have completely shut all access from any of the migrants arriving in italy . so the idea arriving in italy. so the idea that you can go to brussels to solve a problem, you can talk to macron. is not in this macron. macron is not in this game. >> e“- $- e“— eli—- >> so why is it this is the point? why has he done it then? i mean, is, i think, a i mean, this is, i think, a massive political own goal. well, going on he's going well, he's going on he's going to be with liberals to canada to be with liberals like trudeau next week. like justin trudeau next week. >> macron invited him and he didn't ask for the meeting with macron. macron invited him because i'll tell you why. because boris johnson famously said when he became prime minister dodi knew and break to macron then that nice young lady, what she called who was prime minister liz truss mistrust , she said, prime minister liz truss mistrust, she said, was asked is

macron friend or foe? and she said , oh, the jury's out now. no said, oh, the jury's out now. no british prime minister would ever have talked to general de gaulle or even president chirac , even nicolas sarkozy, like that. , even nicolas sarkozy, like that . and i don't think we that. and i don't think we understand how much damage their behaviour for sunak. mr sunak i think trying gently to repair this is simply macron accepting an invitation . an invitation. >> fine, fine. now i understand that. but nobody asked keir starmer to try to come up with a migrant policy that is possibly the worst of both worlds that would see us taking a quota that would see us taking a quota that would leave the european union in charge of how many asylum seekers. essentially take and seekers. we essentially take and not do much to stop not really do much to stop what's the channel. what's going on in the channel. go that not true? go on. why is that not true? >> very simply, won't >> well, very simply, we won't even be there for let's let's let's well, i obviously want labour sometime. 2025. labour to win sometime. 2025. macron in charge and we don't macron is in charge and we don't know where we'll be. the european union is going to elect a whole new leadership team and everywhere . everywhere. >> the yeah, i understand. i understand that we don't know where we're going to be in a few years. the plan to allow the

years. the plan is to allow the european union dictate european union to dictate the reason france and germany reason that france and germany are shutting the gates to the migrant workers is because italy's immigrant or home secretary minister of the interior there man called matteo salvini, actually only at times makes suella braverman look like a liberal woke leader. writer well, if with respect, if 8000 people arrived on your doorstep over the course of two days, i think you get a heck of a lot more. >> right. we would have the fits every way possible . double what every way possible. double what nobody is saying is right. why are libya and syria failed states? because the conservatives intervened too. i understand that. >> but much closer to home, what keir starmer has done now is open up a door that allows people to say, you actually would quite like us back in the european union. that's not much of shock. well i mean, he of a shock. well i mean, he actively campaigned for a actively campaigned for it for a heck of long time. so it is heck of a long time. so it is true really, isn't it? but then you've also got voters you've also got red wall voters who especially the tories who especially lent the tories their the last time. if

their vote at the last time. if he kept his mouth shut, they probably would have voted for it this but now they this time round. but now they think, you you're mystery think, well, you you're mystery you a letter of you and you want a letter of asylum you and you want a letter of asy should we just wait gently >> should we just wait gently until election approached on until the election approached on where voters are? where red wall voters are? i think thoroughly think they are thoroughly disillusioned. did give the disillusioned. they did give the tories their vote. you're absolutely they've tories their vote. you're absimorey they've tories their vote. you're absimore immigrants they've tories their vote. you're absimore immigrants they'ever. got more immigrants than ever. they've got fewer good jobs. their not being their children are not being trained. blah, blah, trained. no houses, blah, blah, blah. what what think the blah. now what what i think the most for me, in most interesting for me, in fact, interesting thing fact, the only interesting thing i particularly excited by fact, the only interesting thing i story articularly excited by fact, the only interesting thing i story thatjlarly excited by fact, the only interesting thing i story that we're excited by fact, the only interesting thing i story that we're goingi by fact, the only interesting thing i story that we're going toy that story that we're going to be discussions with eu and taking quotas. mean taking migrant quotas. i mean that knowing the eu, that struck me being just a flyer in one me as being just a flyer in one papen me as being just a flyer in one paper. know the source it paper. i know the source of it and other people keir starmer was about no , he's he's was talking about no, he's he's the source said he's constantly said we a just a civilised said we need a just a civilised relationship . what is he saying? relationship. what is he saying? one thing. >> the what? what is keir starmer's. right. what is he gained in the country is please ized that he particularly with his sort of criminal prosecution background, is saying we need new courts, we need a lot of new staff that what suella

staff that is what suella braverman replied . braverman hasn't replied. >> on this wonderful show >> now on this wonderful show last fire her and last week i said fire her and get a competent minister. you can't do it when all she's doing is preparing to run out. well, it's interesting. >> it's interesting because because you've got to deal with the applications. i get it. i get it. but i think a lot of people would rather have somebody in charge as home secretary who willing to call secretary who is willing to call what's going on in the channel an invasion than somebody who wants a with the wants to broker a deal with the european so they could, european union. so they could, in theory , tell us how many in theory, tell us how many asylum seekers we to take. in theory, tell us how many asy sticks�*ekers we to take. in theory, tell us how many asy sticks and s we to take. in theory, tell us how many asysticks and stones to take. in theory, tell us how many asysticks and stones may) take. in theory, tell us how many asysticks and stones may break >> sticks and stones may break my but names will never my bones, but names will never hurt me in calling. you can call it anything you like. it has no impact . you need some action. impact. you need some action. i'm not about all this i'm not sure about all this business of a deal with the eu. i do know we need to deal with the backlog suella braverman isn't keir starmer proposed? >> i think that's the. yeah, i get all of that. i think there's a fear, isn't there, that whether or not this turns out to be true, we'd have to wait and see as to whether or not keir starmer ultimately end up

starmer ultimately would end up just waiving that backlog through that's lot of through you. but that's a lot of what anyway, thank what about anyway, dennis, thank you dennis you very, very much. dennis mcshane former labour mcshane there, the former labour for minister europe. look, no matter you cut this matter which way you cut this up, has exposed there are up, it has exposed there are divisions in the european union, to least, there to say the least, and that there is dysfunctional element to is a dysfunctional element to it. really want is a dysfunctional element to it. rejoin really want is a dysfunctional element to it. rejoin that? really want is a dysfunctional element to it. rejoin that? let really want is a dysfunctional element to it. rejoin that? let me sally want is a dysfunctional element to it. rejoin that? let me know. rant to rejoin that? let me know. vaiews@gbnews.com. but right now more on that now we've got loads more on that story website gbnews.com. story on our website gbnews.com. the national the fastest growing national news country. see news site in the country. see all the best analysis, big opinion and the latest breaking news. but that this has news. but i know that this has really going. been really got you going. it's been trending it's doing the trending online. it's doing the rounds at trending online. it's doing the rourmoment at trending online. it's doing the rourmoment following at trending online. it's doing the rourmoment following a at trending online. it's doing the rourmoment following a series of the moment following a series of attacks, the prime minister has announced that the american attacks, the prime minister has annotdogi that the american attacks, the prime minister has annot dog is 1at the american attacks, the prime minister has annot dog is 1at the be nerican attacks, the prime minister has annotdog is1at thebe banned by bully dog is set to be banned by the end of the year. is that fair? what does it mean for cross breeds actually is it the owner's fault? patrick christys gb news,

sunday mornings from 930 on gb news . news. >> welcome back. it is 324. you're watching and listening to me. patrick christys on gb news on your radio, television or online. still to come, an exclusive gb news people's poll has revealed that 62% of those surveyed think crime in the uk is increasing. so do we need tougher sentences for shoplifters? and as some pupils face a 21 day isolation period if they catch measles, should we be forcing children to get the jab? has all that covid vaccine. who ha and some of the very real issues that took place there in

preventing people from getting other jabs . where are you on other jabs. where are you on that? we'll have a chat. but the american xl bully dog will be banned by the end of the year following a series of attacks. rishi has said this rishi sunak has said this was the prime minister's announcement earlier today. >> today i have tasked ministers to bring together police and experts to firstly define the breed of dog behind these attacks with a view to then outlawing it . it is not outlawing it. it is not currently a breed defined in law, so this vital first step must happen fast . we will then must happen fast. we will then ban the breed under the dangerous dogs act and new laws will be in place by the end of the year. these dogs are dangerous. i want to reassure the public that we will take all necessary steps to keep people safe . safe. >> massive debate here, very much two sides of it. i mean, this, of course, comes after a 30 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of dogs dangerously out of control, causing injury . out of control, causing injury. and he's been further arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, actually after a man died following an attack in stonnall

yesterday . what does this mean yesterday. what does this mean for crossbreeds of xl bullies , for crossbreeds of xl bullies, etcetera? is it actually the dogs fault? you know , is this a dogs fault? you know, is this a real thing? are there other dogs out there that are doing attacks a little bit like this ? i a little bit like this? i couldn't help but note that i was doing some research before i came on that six of the ten, possibly now 11 fatal dog attacks within the last year apparently have been linked to xl bullies. so, you know, is there something in that? is there something in that? is there something in that? is there something in that i just don't really think i feel comfortable xl saying that any animal should be exterminated . animal should be exterminated. that said, i do eat meat, so maybe i'm a hypocrite. but joining me now in the studio is contributing at novara contributing editor at novara media. walker. media. it's michael walker. michael, very michael, thank you very, very much. crucially, for the much. now, crucially, for the purposes this discussion you purposes of this discussion you own, it an xl bully cross own, is it an xl bully cross called moose ? talk me through it i >> -- >> yeah. i've never actually quite understood the xl part. she's an american bully . crossed she's an american bully. crossed with a staffordshire bull terrier , which i co—own, and

terrier, which i co—own, and with an ex—partner of mine. you can see her there. very sweet, very lovely. she's very upset. she's going to be banned. i suppose the way you introduced your segment should she be exterminated? absolutely i exterminated? absolutely not. i am actually, though, in favour of banning the breeding of these dogs. i do think that american bullies were probably a mistake to import into the uk to sort of import into the uk because i do think they are a bit more reactive other bit more reactive than other dogs. when you combine the dogs. and when you combine the strength a bully with strength of a of a bully with reactiveness, that does create some i as you some danger. now, i mean, as you can from that picture, she can see from that picture, she is not remotely aggressive to people struggle people and we did struggle a bit, of training her to be bit, sort of training her to be relaxed about dogs. she kind of is but i mean, is now. um, but yeah, i mean, i think the horrific scenes we've seen or the horrific news we've had of people dying after attacks of these does mean that something needs to change. but we need sure we also do need to make sure that is done in a way that this ban is done in a way which is sensitive to the to the bullies and their owners that already exist is what i'd say. bullies and their owners that alrel dy exist is what i'd say. bullies and their owners that alrel supposeis what i'd say. bullies and their owners that alrel suppose the hat i'd say. bullies and their owners that alrel suppose the big i'd say. bullies and their owners that alrel suppose the big question >> i suppose the big question mark and we are yet to find out exactly is what this means for

crossbreeds like your dog now, will because will they be banned because they've bit american they've got a bit of american bully in them? will they have to spend lives a leash spend their lives on a leash with muzzle? i mean, we can with a muzzle? i mean, we can see the there playing very see the dog there playing very happily other it happily with other dogs. it would be a shame, i think, if moose shackled side. moose was shackled to your side. 24 seven. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, so. so in terms of would crossbreeds be banned? so i was looking through obviously i'm very interested in this now, so i looking through what so i was looking through what the, initial legislation the, the initial legislation which planning to which they're planning to include bullies in, which is the dangerous now what dangerous dogs act. now what happened it was happened then was it was those breeds and crossbreeds, and there grandfather clause there was a grandfather clause which you which meant that if you owned one those dogs was born one of those dogs that was born before law came into force, before the law came into force, you go get them you could go and get them registered, which means they wouldn't down. you wouldn't be put down. but as you say, would have to be on a say, they would have to be on a leash and a muzzle and for leash and in a muzzle and for the rest of their lives and now, isuppose the rest of their lives and now, i suppose difficulty here is i suppose the difficulty here is that time this that the last time this happened. with the pit bull, happened. so with the pit bull, it was designed by how they look. know, there aren't look. you know, there aren't genetic dogs. genetic records for most dogs. we genetic records we don't have genetic records for she was rehomed. so

for our dog. she was rehomed. so so definitely have so we definitely don't have genetic for him. but for genetic records for him. but for her. so. so it will be her. sorry so. so it will be difficult see how this difficult to see how this is defined. suppose i worry defined. and i suppose i worry also the leash in the also with the leash in the muzzle thing is that as anyone with a young dog, think with with a young dog, i think with an it doesn't matter an older dog, it doesn't matter so much. but with young dog so much. but with a young dog they to expend quite they do need to expend quite a lot energy. so if they are lot of energy. so if they are always on a leash, then obviously they can never run faster than their owner. and that mean these that could mean that these reactive even more reactive dogs that are even more pent than they were before, pent up than they were before, just one last just just very quickly, one last one you. one with you. >> from political side of >> from a political side of things, you think the rishi things, do you think the rishi sunak rights involved in sunak rights get involved in this? >> yeah, mean, this? >>yeah, mean, be this? >> yeah, mean, be honest, >> yeah, i mean, to be honest, i'm a bit annoyed that only i'm a bit annoyed that he's only just now because, just got involved now because, you a owner a dog you know, as a owner of a dog which crossed with a bully, which is crossed with a bully, my life would be a lot easier if she was not cross with a bully, if was crossed a staffy if she was crossed with a staffy instead, example. right. so if she was crossed with a staffy irdoead, example. right. so if she was crossed with a staffy irdo think example. right. so if she was crossed with a staffy irdo think we (ample. right. so if she was crossed with a staffy irdo think we are ole. right. so if she was crossed with a staffy irdo think we are in. right. so if she was crossed with a staffy irdo think we are in aaight. so if she was crossed with a staffy irdo think we are in a very. so i do think we are in a very problematic political situation whereby we have allowed american bullies proliferate now bullies to proliferate and now we're right. which we're banning them. right. which not some not only has meant that some people unnecessarily people have unnecessarily died because they've been mauled by them, got

them, but you've now got potentially tens of thousands of people who are in this incredibly difficult situation people who are in this incredithey'veicult situation people who are in this incredithey've got situation people who are in this incredithey've got aituation people who are in this incredithey've got aituat that where they've got a dog that they've with. they've fallen in love with. it's the family. and now it's part of the family. and now they suddenly either they suddenly find that either it's going to be taken away or they've got to give it a very restrictive the 12 restrictive life for the next 12 years. michael, look, years. yeah well, michael, look, good you and moose, who, good luck to you and moose, who, you just seem a you know, just seem like a lovely dog. >> think it is a shame. >> and i think it is a shame. i suppose the only thing that comes in with any ban and anything, there will be people or this case, dogs that kind or in this case, dogs that kind of fall the cracks. and of fall through the cracks. and maybe unfortunately, will maybe unfortunately, moose will be those it be one of those because it doesn't really seem like there's be one of those because it doezissues|lly seem like there's be one of those because it doezissues there. am like there's be one of those because it doezissues there. maybe there's be one of those because it doezissues there. maybe it'sre's be one of those because it doezissues there. maybe it's for any issues there. maybe it's for the good anyway, the greater good anyway, michael, doubt. talk michael, no doubt. we'll talk about again luck. about this again and good luck. michael walker there, who is a contributing editor at novara media, indeed of show media, indeed friend of the show as i've a poll as well. look, i've got a poll running the moment which is running at the moment which is on my at patrick on my twitter at patrick christys 77% of you right now think should ban if think we should ban bullies. if you think differently, we'll go and in the have and take part in the poll. have your voice heard. but now, between and 4:00, an between now and 4:00, an exclusive peoples exclusive gb news peoples poll has revealed 62% those has revealed 62% of those surveyed in the uk surveyed think crime in the uk is increasing. do need

you know, an ugly, aggressive breed of massive dog out on the street that appears deeply content to rip the face off human beings, if indeed that really the case. but really is the case. but actually, it's human beings who created things begin actually, it's human beings who create” things begin actually, it's human beings who creat

if small crime, says david, aren't with, then it aren't dealt with, then it always that's my always escalates and that's my point. like point. it might seem like a small crime shoplifting, but it's for the it's not really for the shopkeeper increased shopkeeper involved. increased levels used. levels of violence being used. it's absolute shocker. why it's an absolute shocker. why isn't more being about it? isn't more being done about it? but a gb news exclusive, but now for a gb news exclusive, it very own crime it is indeed our very own crime poll. it's revealed that 62% poll. and it's revealed that 62% of think crime of people surveyed think crime is when asked how of people surveyed think crime is confidence an asked how of people surveyed think crime is confidence they ked how of people surveyed think crime is confidence they have ow of people surveyed think crime is confidence they have in the much confidence they have in the police deal with crime in police to deal with crime in britain , 60% those surveyed britain, 60% of those surveyed said they either don't have much confidence or have no confidence at all. and when asked if the police should adopt a zero tolerance approach to dealing with shoplifters by investigating every crime, 65% of people surveyed either completely agreed or somewhat agreed. well, i can understand that, to be honest. i would have thought that maybe 100% of people would want 100% of crimes investigating , but maybe the investigating, but maybe the other 35% there thought, well, how do we do it? really, we don't have enough police officers. that's always the tncky officers. that's always the tricky one, i suppose, isn't it? i don't think police officers

don't necessarily to swerve don't necessarily want to swerve investigating maybe some investigating crime. maybe some of do. but surely if we had of them do. but surely if we had more them, then maybe we'll more of them, then maybe we'll be able investigate more of be able to investigate more of these quotes, lower these quotes on quotes, lower level crimes like shoplifting. i'm former met i'm joined now by former met police officer chris hobbs. chris, very, very chris, thank you very, very much. so look, the much. so look, people, the majority of people feel like crime is now increasing and that the police should do more to stop it. when it comes to things like shoplifting, what more could be done, do you think? >> it's very difficult because in the last year and we've had this discussion before , people this discussion before, people have said or it's been said, police need to do more with domestic violence, sexual offences , rape, burglary, offences, rape, burglary, grooming , gang stalking, grooming, gang stalking, harassment, human trafficking , harassment, human trafficking, trafficking, missing persons, county line in moped crime, hate crime fraud. e—scooters knife crime fraud. e—scooters knife crime . mobile phone theft . so crime. mobile phone theft. so the pressures are huge on had drug use there. >> but we'll add that one in. why not. yeah yeah. >> i mean what live in the borough of ealing and when i was

a pc police part of the borough now in those days every shift we would field probably a minimum of 21 police vehicles . so we of 21 police vehicles. so we would answer just about every call that came in, including any shoplifting . now, covering the shoplifting. now, covering the london borough of ealing, there may be 5 or 6, seven vehicles in those days , loads more people as well. >> chris. sorry. but also and loads more people. i mean, the population has surged. so absolutely, absolutely . absolutely, absolutely. >> and then when we when we did arrest shoplifter, we take arrest the shoplifter, we take them in we'd be in and out them in and we'd be in and out within the hour and the commissioner the other day, he actually a very good point. actually made a very good point. i was going to say, for a change. but he made a very good point when he said in day point when he said in his day and day, case papers for and my day, the case papers for and my day, the case papers for a shoplifter for offence a shoplifter or for an offence would be that . now is it extends would be that. now is it extends his finger. sorry, where am i? >> i get that point . yeah. >> i get that point. yeah. there's loads more.

>> yeah. it's huge. the crown prosecution service even where you take a to case them sometimes even for attacking and injuring a police officer will come back to the poor police officer and say , no, not in the officer and say, no, not in the pubuc officer and say, no, not in the public interest. no, officer and say, no, not in the public interest . no, not officer and say, no, not in the public interest. no, not enough evidence . and really, they've evidence. and really, they've been hit by cuts as well. so as far as police officers thought, look, i would have thought, chris, that i would have thought that shoplifting not an open and shut case. >> we've got cctv, they've got the possessions. haven't the possessions. they haven't got they might a got a receipt. they might be a witness. bish , bash bosh. witness. i'm bish, bash bosh. that's isn't it ? witness. i'm bish, bash bosh. that's isn't it? easy witness. i'm bish, bash bosh. that's isn't it ? easy fix. that's it, isn't it? easy fix. >> well, in the old days, yes, it to be. it used to be. it used to be. it used to be. but these days, the crown prosecution service, people's human , everything else. human rights, everything else. um every shoplifter has to be interviewed. cctv has to be cctv has to be gone through . has to be gone through. everything has to be absolutely watertight. and it takes hours. a shoplifter will take hours to process and hours to do the

paperwork. and that is part of the problem we've got today. >> so , look, without wanting to >> so, look, without wanting to throw some of your former colleagues under the bus, etcetera, is what you're saying that realistically when the call on the radio comes in and you've got five police cars around a borough and someone says someone's just nicked a chicken from tesco , is realistically from tesco, is realistically it's not worth the officer's while because there's probably a stabbing taking place . stabbing taking place. >> yeah, if there's an officer to go to it in the first place, remember all these officers you see on crime scene , for example, see on crime scene, for example, with that didn't when i was a young pc mental health. now the commissioner's hoping, isn't he, to say to the nhs, right, you deal with mental health call outs, we'll have to see how that works for hours and hours of police time is spent with people having a mental health crisis . having a mental health crisis. so it's a massive accumulation of problems. and then at the moment , of course, you've got

moment, of course, you've got sadly, police morale absolutely falling through the floor and there are retention problems. and officers who lack experience and it mounts up really, patrick, to a real policing crisis at the moment. now, indeed. >> look, chris, thank you very much for your time, as always . much for your time, as always. good luck to you. you have a nice weekend. it's chris hobbs who's a former met police officer. i'm just going to reiterate couple of things reiterate a couple of things that are in that poll. so that are in that poll. right? so we've people all we've got 62% of people all thinking crime is thinking that crime is increasing. and i think that's fair i mean, crime is fair enough. i mean, crime is increasing. so that's that's right. 60% of those surveyed said that either don't have said that they either don't have much confidence have much confidence or have no confidence at all. and when asked if the police should adopt asked if the police should adopt a zero tolerance approach to deaung a zero tolerance approach to dealing with shoplifters by investigating crime 65% of investigating every crime 65% of people surveyed either completely agreed or somewhat agreed had a zero tolerance approach. well, what does that mean then, do you think? what does that really mean? does that mean, look, we'll let you mean, look, we'll never let you off what, a prison off without what, a prison sentence for shoplifting? i suppose that's the thing, isn't it? if you're going to say that

shop lifting has to have a deterrent to it, does deterrent attached to it, does that have to include prison sentences? be honest sentences? i've got to be honest with impact, christie's with you. in impact, christie's britain, may be quite britain, which may well be quite a dark and bleak place there would be heck of a lot more would be a heck of a lot more prisons and there would be a heck a lot more people in heck of a lot more people in them, there will be a heck them, and there will be a heck of a lot more police officers as well. just really well. maybe that is just really the solution. let me know. vaiews@gbnews.com. still to the solution. let me know. vaievunvaccinated m. still to the solution. let me know. vaievunvaccinated childrentill to come, unvaccinated children could being forced could face being forced to self—isolate days, not self—isolate for 21 days, not because covid. don't because of covid. hey, don't start panicking because of a rapid rise measles cases and rapid rise in measles cases and it has sparked a vaccine debate. should the measles jab be compulsory ? is it your duty as a compulsory? is it your duty as a parent to society to get your kid jabbed with the measles jab? patrick christys gb news, britain's news

michael portillo gb news britain's new . britain's new. channel >> okay. welcome back, everybody . you are watching and listening to me patrick christys on gb news tv online and radio. now on vaccinated children. i'm not talking about the covid jab. don't go loopy. could be forced to self—isolate for 21 days because of a rapid rise in measles cases. now to london. councils have warned parents amid a rapid rise in the disease, health officials say the low uptake of mmr jabs has increased the risk of the potentially deadly infection . so potentially deadly infection. so why is this happening? i suspect

that people got vaccine fatigue or vaccine concern and as a result maybe of what went on dunng result maybe of what went on during the coronavirus pandemic, are they now more sceptical of these things? have they stopped their children taking them? maybe be it, i don't maybe that could be it, i don't know. should it be know. but also, should it be mandatory ? okay. should you be mandatory? okay. should you be seen to have a duty to your child and the state and society to get your kid vaccinated against measles ? sunday express against measles? sunday express health and social affairs editor lucy johnson joins me now. lucy, thank you very much. can we deal with the why of it all first, why why have why have we suddenly got a rise in the number of people not getting their kids jabbed from mmr. >> so there's various theories on this. one is that there was a downturn in during the pandemic . people weren't getting out. they weren't to going the doctors, they weren't following up appointments and the system, as you know, wasn't working . as you know, wasn't working. >> it was prioritising covid.

>> it was prioritising covid. >> and secondly, there is evidence that that people mandating or effectively mandating or effectively mandating vaccines at that time . so if you weren't vaccinated , . so if you weren't vaccinated, you were locked down for some periods. did increase scepticism and it increased it does increase uptake in the short term, but actually there's a bit of a backlash and people became more sceptical about vaccines in general and that's been seen across the world. so there's different theories about that. i don't know how much research there is to back either of those theories, but that is what the thinking is . thinking is. >> interesting this pam's been on.thank >> interesting this pam's been on. thank you very much, pam, for emailing me. she says, back in the dark ages of 1957, she says she caught measles and it centred on her eyes. she says anyway, she ended up luckily with just being short sighted. apparently but she goes on to list a few other horror stories here. she says, yes, the measles

jab should be given. i don't know if she's stopping short there of it being mandatory. i mean, if we did, could we mandate the measles jab? is there a case that society needs us to mandate the measles jab ? i us to mandate the measles jab? i i don't think mandating is not what we do in this country. >> of course, there is a benefit to some vaccines. >> they do reduce disease and death. >> i'm not saying that we shouldn't have vaccines , but to shouldn't have vaccines, but to mandate them is a is a another step . firstly, with measles , you step. firstly, with measles, you have what's called sterilising immunity. so if someone is vaccinated , then the chances of vaccinated, then the chances of them getting measles and getting very ill from measles is very, very ill from measles is very, very , very small. so it doesn't very, very small. so it doesn't matter. you know, that that's someone's choice if they want to get vaccinated and they want to protect themselves from that, it doesn't matter what someone else is once you is doing. secondly, once you start mandating things , then start mandating things, then people get angry , they get people get angry, they get

sceptical, you increase case the idea that , you know, people are idea that, you know, people are deliberately harming us with vaccines, then people have different religious beliefs and not forgetting that all drugs, including vaccines, do carry risks and there are harms and the vaccine damage payment system that the government has has given out payments for children who have died. sadly, very, very rare or have been damaged by vaccines. so start to start mandating something that carries a risk is opening a can of worms . of worms. >> i think let's just have a little look as to what's what's actually happening right now then. so pupils who have not had two doses of a jab that protects against measles risk being told to self—isolate for three weeks. this is to according at least a couple of councils, i would imagine this will be possibly a country wide thing before you know it. really the way things go these days. so in a way that is mandating, isn't it, unless you're happy to look after your

kid for three weeks at home, which potentially quite a few parents are not, well, it seems like a non—starter. >> it's a bit of a ludicrous policy. first of all, how do you police it if you're sending your children home to self—isolate ? children home to self—isolate? how do you know they're not going to go out and go into the supermarket? what are you going to do? you're going to have policemen or or wardens at their doon policemen or or wardens at their door. secondly when does it end? policemen or or wardens at their do

that were available until about, i think, two decades ago. you could get single measles, single mumps and single rubella jabs on the nhs and that, you know, people preferred that, but they're no longer available. so they're no longer available. so the art really in this is to persuade people and to persuade them why it would be useful rather than trying to coerce people because it doesn't work . people because it doesn't work. yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. >> i just. yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. >> ijust. i yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. >> i just. i just. yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. >> ijust. ijust. i yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. >> i just. i just. i feel very uncomfortable about this. and again, i do, i do think this is again, i do, i do think this is a knock on effect from some of the stuff that happened during the stuff that happened during the as you alluded to, the pandemic as you alluded to, which people felt which is that people felt pressured. became pressured. people became increasingly big increasingly sceptical of big pharma or the message that was being pushed. people didn't like being pushed. people didn't like being told what to do. and then you end up with you maybe end up with a situation bit this where situation a bit like this where people looking at a measles people are looking at a measles jab, mmr, which taken large jab, mmr, which was taken large largely without not much pushback, certainly for last few years they they years. and then now they they take foot off the gas. look.

take the foot off the gas. look. thank you very much. sunday express and social express health and social affairs editor lucy johnson on the mmr do you think the old mmr jab. do you think it's mandate should it's okay to mandate it? should you me know what you you get it? let me know what you think. i thought i'd think. but okay. i thought i'd finish the hour with something a little bit different china, little bit different to china, where search operation is where a search operation is ongoing 70 crocodile ongoing after 70 crocodile escaped a farm during escaped from a farm during floods the floods in the village in the south country. so it was south of the country. so it was reported the animals reported that the animals escaped two gaps in the escaped through two gaps in the enclosure walls, collapsed enclosure walls, which collapsed dunng enclosure walls, which collapsed during floods caused by heavy rain, lower local authorities have organised a search operation and water draining work. now, according to the dazhong daily. so it's a good paper that it's a good paper. it's the state run national news papen it's the state run national news paper, a staff member. i really you know, i struggle to wake up in the morning without my copy of the dazhong daily. but a staff member from the emergency bureau said it is currently under control. right. but under control. all right. but the number of crocodiles that escaped is a bit high. yes, 70, 70 crocodiles. if you're in that village in china , it's all under village in china, it's all under control. don't worry . don't control. don't worry. don't

much cheaply. patrick christys. gb news. it will never be able to recreate this chaotic energy. vaiews@gbnews.com is that inbox has keir starmer already cost himself the next general election with eu migrant madness an old look it's got to be the excel bullies hasn't it? are we right to ban them? get your emails coming in right now though. it's your headlines with polly . patrick. polly. patrick. >> thank you. the top story this houn >> thank you. the top story this hour, the man killed in a dog attack in staffordshire has been named by police as 52 year old ian price died in hospital after being seriously injured in stonnall near walsall around a 3:15 yesterday afternoon. he had been attacked by two dogs, a 30 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of dogs dangerously out of control and causing injury. it's believed both dogs were american xl bullies. the prime minister says the breed will be banned in

the uk by the end of the year. labour also supports the proposed ban. >> the first step is to convene a group of experts in the field and the police to define the breed and then using the powers under the existing dangerous dogs act. we will then be able to ban the breed and laws will be in place by the end of the yeah be in place by the end of the year. but it's clear from the attacks we've seen tragic incidences that we do need to take action to protect the pubuc take action to protect the public and stop these attacks. and we're going to and that's what we're going to do. >> three members of sara sharif's meanwhile , have sharif's family, meanwhile, have been custody after been remanded in custody after being year being charged with the ten year old's . sara's father, old's murder. sara's father, irfan sharif , and his partner irfan sharif, and his partner and his brother appeared at westminster magistrates court today. westminster magistrates court today . they've been charged today. they've also been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child. sara was found dead at her home in woking in surrey after officers were called from pakistan by her father on the 10th of august. unit have vowed to fight the government tooth and nail after

a half billion pound investment in tata steel has put 3000 jobs at risk. the government says, however, it will support more than 12,000 jobs in the sector overall to has been in talks with the government to switch from coal fired to electric furnaces in an effort to reduce carbon emissions by around 1.5. business and trade secretary kemi badenoch says the government is saving the industry . industry. >> this is good for the taxpayer , this is good for the workforce because actually when we do have new electric arc furnaces, we're going to be able to have many more industries. we can have offshore wind. there'll be a whole redevelopment of the sites. this is actually a great deal not just for pothole, but but for the uk. and what i would say to people who are concerned about job losses is that we do understand and we have a transition plan in place that's funded up to about £100 million to make sure people have to make sure that people have skills to retrain . but the

skills to retrain. but the shadow business secretary, jonathan reynolds, says the government is twisting the narrative. >> i think only this conservative government could spend half £1 billion, making thousands of people redundant. >> i was at port talbot yesterday. >> i was talking to the workforce. of course they support green steel. of course they want to see this transition take place. but they they were promised they'd be a part of it. they were promised they'd be consult plans for the consult on the plans for the future and fundamentally, this should a about more should be a story about more jobs. there are huge opportunities for green steel in the uk and the way that this has been presented them obviously been presented to them obviously has worried. train drivers has them worried. train drivers are to strike at the end of this month in their long running dispute over pay. >> the aslef union says its members at 16 train operators will walk out on the 30th of september and the 4th of october. the action will coincide with the conservative party's annual conference, the union said the strikes will force train operators to cancel

all services, causing travel disruption for passengers . 80 disruption for passengers. 80 prison officers at hmp wandsworth did not attend their shifts on the day. daniel khalife escaped from prison. that's according to a government minister. the 21 year old terror suspect escaped from wandsworth pfison suspect escaped from wandsworth prison last week and was later arrested after a four day manhunt . khalife disappeared manhunt. khalife disappeared while awaiting trial after being charged with terror offences in january. an investigation will look at whether the prison followed relevant protocols . followed relevant protocols. labour has pledged to create temporary so—called nightingale courts to speed up asylum decisions , as the party is also decisions, as the party is also pledging to hire over 1000 home office caseworkers to clear the claims backlog and fast track decisions for applicants from certain countries as they plan to stop using hotels, barges and former military sites to house asylum seekers, which they claim cost taxpayers over £2 billion a year.

cost taxpayers over £2 billion a year . and finally, the iconic year. and finally, the iconic black sheep woolly jumper worn by diana, princess of wales, has been sold at auction in new york for £920,000. the jumper, which shows a black sheep among a row of white sheep, was discovered in an attic in march by designer joanna osborne. it was famously worn by diana at a polo match in june 1981. shortly after her engagement to the then prince charles. this is gb news across the uk on your tv, in your car, on digital radio, and now on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. this is britain's news . channel loads on this hour news. channel loads on this hour , but i just want to kick off with this. >> so is it right that the american xl bully breed should be banned? should they all be killed? initially, all my instincts say no for a few reasons. i love dogs. i would blame owner i blamed

blame the owner before i blamed the dog. it's clear that not every bully a threat, so every xl bully is a threat, so we'd banning potentially we'd be banning or potentially killing loads of innocent dogs. i also just don't really like banning general, it banning stuff. in general, it seems to be our solution to everything these days. don't like something. ban it, don't like something. ban it, don't like someone, cancel them . there like someone, cancel them. there is also this grey area now of people who own xl bully crosses to their dogs have to be put down. are they banned? can they breed them? but then i see some of the stats and i see that the xl bully breed was linked to six of the ten fatal dog attacks in the uk in 2022 and has been involved in at least two fatalities this year, possibly even one more. actually. we're still waiting for confirmation on that, but now more and more people are coming out to say that their dog was attacked by an xl bully. and there are reports of kids having to run away from on their way home from school. of that stuff . and i school. all of that stuff. and i think, well, you can't really not can you ? bullies will not act, can you? bullies will have to be registered as a breed, then banned . that would

breed, then banned. that would mean that the police could take them off you if they saw you with one in a public area. they could get a warrant and take it out your own home. it would out of your own home. it would also illegal for anyone also be illegal for anyone to own, breed them. however own, breed or sell them. however there are exemptions to the banned rule, may be banned dogs rule, which may be a rare of hope here for rare glimmer of hope here for somebody to have somebody if they happen to have a mannered bully. a well mannered xl bully. because court not because if the court does not believe it to be a danger to the public, it may be put on an index of exempt dogs, which means that you can keep it. but in this circumstance you be in this circumstance you will be given a certificate of exemption that for life of that is valid for the life of the dog and you will need to follow strict rules if placed on this index, the dog must be neutered. micro chipped, on this index, the dog must be n

humans created these dogs. we bred them . we made them. we did bred them. we made them. we did this. so if there is an inherently dangerous street to them, we created that . secondly, them, we created that. secondly, if a lot of these dogs are bought and then trained by gangsters or bad people , then gangsters or bad people, then frankly, if the dog turns out to be i blame the be a wrong'un, i blame the humans again , xl bullies humans again, xl bullies are a problem for humans, but i think we should all acknowledge that this was created by this problem was created by humans . well, i am joined humans. well, i am joined actually by mark white. he's our home security editor with a bit of breaking news, although not about xl bullies. mark, what's going on? >> an unfolding incident in >> it's an unfolding incident in doven >> it's an unfolding incident in dover. are kent producer who is on duty down in dover, as he has most days filming the migrant arrivals, has got these shots. and i'll just explain for our radio listeners , that shows radio listeners, that shows a authorities wearing these white biohazard suits down at dover

harbour and they've also erected a number of these white forensic stroke biohazard type tents as well. and we've seen a number of border force vessels that have come in, ranger and also the volunteer there that have come in with dozens of migrants on board. and it certainly appears that some of those on board are being shepherded the way of those blue tents . we understand those blue tents. we understand that at least four boats, lords from border force, have come in today. from border force, have come in today . so far. there is another today. so far. there is another border force vessel, a catamaran thatis border force vessel, a catamaran that is on its way in with a couple of small boatloads of people that they picked up. and you can see from these pictures as well in a couple of the shots, there are at least four

people that are being wheeled off in wheelchairs as well. so we don't know what it is , but we we don't know what it is, but we do know that there have been concerns , health issues. so concerns, health issues. so rounding some of those that have come from northern france, because what you have is people, of course , us for weeks, of course, us for weeks, sometimes months, camped out in just tents if they're lucky, in various areas around dunkirk and kylie . and these are breeding kylie. and these are breeding grounds for disease so they can pick up diseases there and of course, in recent weeks , we've course, in recent weeks, we've had confirmed outbreaks of scabies and even tuberculosis as wethersfield , that former raf wethersfield, that former raf base in essex, which is now running as an expanding accommodation centre for migrants. so we've reached out to the home office for comment then they've not got back to us as yet, but all we can say is from what we've observed there is certainly some kind of bio

hazard incident on, on going at dover harbour with , with quite dover harbour with, with quite a number of people suited up in these white biohazard suits . these white biohazard suits. >> yeah. i mean it's concerning stuff deeply concerning stuff. and hopefully at some point we manage to get to the bottom of that. no doubt you will be back in when you get some answers. mark, you very, much. mark, thank you very, very much. mark, thank you very, very much. mark there, our home mark white there, our home security well. sir security editor as well. sir keir his keir starmer has unveiled his party's plan to tackle the channel crossings crisis, pledging to set up special fast track nightingale calls to tackle the asylum backlog applications and attempting to negotiate a deal with the eu in return for smashing the smuggling gangs. it comes as the new gb news people's poll found that 68% of conservative relatives . and 67% of leave relatives. and 67% of leave voters think that immigration has made crime worse, as do nearly half of all voters, fuelling concerns about britain's migration troubles. i'm going to be having a chat now basically about whether or

not keir starmer has put his foot in it and has he cost himself the next election as a result of his latest comments on migration and asylum seekers, etcetera ? with me to debate this etcetera? with me to debate this is henry bolton, obe no less international security and border control expert. and you've got a little sneak peek of him a couple of moments ago. so matthew staton, their political commentator. great stuff, okay look, political commentator. great stuff, do okay look, political commentator. great stuff, do think dkay look, political commentator. great stuff, do think that look, political commentator. great stuff, do think that keir:, henry, do you think that keir starmer may well have put his foot in it here? cost himself the by his the next election by his comments in relation to what he quite like to do with the eu and a quota system for asylum seekers. >> well, i'm not sure he's lost the election with this. patrick because i think the election is being conservatives being lost by the conservatives rather than being won by labour . regard to this plan . but with regard to this plan that he's got, he's not thought this through. the people around him have not thought this through. >> the reality is that the eu's immigration and asylum policy is already struggling in terms of the distribution of asylum seekers within the european union, let alone having sort of

us in the mix. if we were to take the proportion out, if you like, a an equal proportion of the asylum seekers that the european union receives , then we european union receives, then we get anything between 100 and 100,000 and 180,000, probably somewhere in the middle, difficult to say . difficult to say. >> now you can take away from that, probably a large number or a large proportion of the small boat crossings . boat crossings. >> but the essential point here is that we would end up taking more . more. >> now, the other thing is that what's he expect to get in return? >> because he's going to get nothing in return. >> there is nothing that european union has got to offer him. he might what he will do is he would present this in two ways. he would say, look , people ways. he would say, look, people wanted to see fruit . wanted to see fruit. >> here's a safe route. people wanted the boats to be reduced. i've reduced the boats. right. okay >> all well and good. >> all well and good. >> but we are going to receive more asylum seekers and more immigration. >> the cost to the taxpayer is

the cost to the taxpayer. look, henry, i'll come back to you. matthew. i'll bring you in here. the way i look at it is this. if he kept his mouth shut he just kept his mouth shut about immigration, he was home and hosed. and now and hosed. and then now he's piped everyone's piped up and everyone's going, hang a minute. you want to hang on a minute. you want to drag back european drag us back into the european union? have more union? we're going to have more asylum seekers. is tony blair 2.0. red walls gone? i mean, 2.0. the red walls gone? i mean, what's he doing? >> mean, look, reason >> so, i mean, look, the reason starmer has been as cautious as he been has led to people he has been has led to people like me we need bit like me saying we need a bit more from precisely, as more from you is precisely, as you say, because he doesn't want to risk putting foot it, to risk putting his foot in it, but doesn't to come but he also doesn't want to come under attack from the under unfair attack from the right attack dogs. now, right wing attack dogs. now, this blanketly this hasn't been blanketly covered even the right wing covered even in the right wing media. i think been on media. so i think it's been on the front page of the mail. a lot of the noise and fury about this is being fuelled from the conservative on social media and some wing commentators. some right wing commentators. i think actually what he's doing is a bit grown up about is being a bit grown up about this. the problem, the crisis of these boats across the these boats coming across the sea and it's not good for us, but it's also not good for the

people who are risking their lives. this is something that has grown up under this conservative administration. let us they haven't us not forget that they haven't got it. they've had got a grip on it. they've had flagship sensationalist policies like rwanda. they ain't going to work. so what is starmer doing? first and foremost, he's doing what i've been calling on the government to be doing for months. and that's get very, very on the gangs. these very serious on the gangs. these people are very bad people. and what he's doing in europe at the moment, being a grown up meeting macron next week, which i think is a straw in the wind, suggesting that other european leaders think that labour is going what he's is going to win. what he's doing is saying need to get a grip on saying we need to get a grip on these criminal and crack these criminal gangs and crack down . down properly. >> i understand that and i think everybody get to everybody does want to get to gnps everybody does want to get to grips with these human trafficking that said, trafficking gangs that said, rejoining europol, which is presumably an organisation that is trying and failing to is already trying and failing to crack these human crack down on these human trafficking i'm not sure trafficking gangs. i'm not sure what there. we'll what would happen there. we'll have to wait and see. henry can i ask you about the actual numbers now, if people managed

to get to italy islands like lampedusa, where they've had about 8000 or so in the last couple of days, if they want to get through to britain, as it currently stands, they probably have find another few have to find another few thousand pay to human thousand quid to pay to human traffickers get them through traffickers to get them through europe, to the channel traffickers to get them through eurothen to the channel traffickers to get them through eurothen across the channel traffickers to get them through eurothen across that channel traffickers to get them through eurothen across that channel and then get across that channel and then get across that channel and britain, which is in and into britain, which is in some cases prohibitively expensive people. now if expensive to people. but now if we knew that britain was taking a all they would have to a quota, all they would have to do is the money to get to do is find the money to get to lampedusa, which clearly thousands do. is thousands of them can do. is this result in more this going to result in more illegal immigration? >> it because , look, >> i think it is because, look, they're not going to be having to pay for pay traffickers or people smugglers for small boats. we're going to be providing the transport for them. you know, and that's got to be an encouragement . it's got to be an encouragement. it's got to be an encouragement. it's got to more. to induce more. >> i agree entirely with >> now, i agree entirely with what matthew saying and keir what matthew is saying and keir starmer going after the starmer about going after the people starmer about going after the peop mean, they're a crucial >> i mean, they're a crucial element to all of this. but what's forgotten is that we were highly successful hunting down people, smuggling networks, not

just disrupting them, but totally dismantling them up until the time tony blair pulled all the funding for it in 2006. now we had the uk was leading an international effort. we even had australians and new zealanders and canadians helping us with that effort in the european region , in north european region, in north africa, in the southern balkans and so on. you know , that that, and so on. you know, that that, you know, tony blair pulled the plug you know, tony blair pulled the plug on that here. starmer, the home office and the present government have forgotten all of that. we need to be forward leaning and go hunting. these people because as you rightly say and i think you've been saying consistently, we've got a problem because this problem here now because this is sending wrong signals to sending the wrong signals to economic migrants, saying that if goes ahead , if this agreement goes ahead, europe and the uk are open and we're going to help you. >> all right. >> all right. >> now, i am not against sticking it to tony blair every now again, his regular now and again, his regular viewers on this show will know the doing at the problem with doing that at the problem with doing that at the moment is that the tories have in power for 13 years.

have been in power for 13 years. and therefore, if you say, well, tony pulled plug on tony blair pulled the plug on it, had 13 years it, well, they've had 13 years to it and haven't done it, well, they've had 13 years to so and haven't done it, well, they've had 13 years to so that haven't done it, well, they've had 13 years to so that is haven't done it, well, they've had 13 years to so that is the iven't done it, well, they've had 13 years to so that is the issue done that. so that is the issue right. but matthew, on this, do you to something earlier you allude to something earlier on keir starmer, you on about keir starmer, what you say? a bit quiet and say? it's been a bit quiet and people are calling to do people are calling him to do more. think that is more. do you think that is because revealed his real because if he revealed his real politics, people wouldn't want because if he revealed his real politics foreople wouldn't want because if he revealed his real politics for that wouldn't want because if he revealed his real politics for that becauset want because if he revealed his real politics for that because theyt to vote for that because they realise they actually would be a bit blair. bit like blair. >> no, i think i mean, were he to be a bit more like blair, we might be seeing something like a 1997 landslide because blair had charisma and starmer. whether you support or you broadly support labour or not, have much not, does not seem to have much charisma. so he'd be a good thing in that sense if he were a bit like blair. just want bit more like blair. i just want to this issue, this to address this issue, this number has been plucked, it number that has been plucked, it seems, nowhere, seems, from absolutely nowhere, 100,000. wing, some of 100,000. the right wing, some of the press, some of the right wing press, some of the right wing press, some of the right wing press, some of the right commentators are the right wing commentators are the right wing commentators are the tories themselves the tory, the tories themselves are that starmer are suggesting that starmer wants door wants to open the door to 100,000 illegal migrants or asylum people asylum seekers, whatever people decide yeah, this decide to call them. yeah, this is if it is fantasy is nonsense. if it is fantasy starmer has never said that. there's no suggestion it would

be 100,000. >> well, he's not. he's not said that. no. >> but if he does deal, >> but if he does a deal, patrick, do a deal in patrick, if he does do a deal in order to stop these dangerous crossings, in order to stop this mess, order to having to mess, in order to stop having to put up in hotels at £6 put people up in hotels at £6 million a day for us, if in order to do that, part of it, as well as smashing the gangs and he he'll be ruthless with he says he'll be ruthless with them, these them, he says he'll be, these are words, twice as ruthless are his words, twice as ruthless as the themselves. if in as the gangs themselves. if in order that, have to order to do that, we have to accept some people, then accept some some people, then that's bad thing. that's that's no bad thing. that's grown politics. the grown up politics. but the number number is going to be number the number is going to be in undoubtedly going to be larger than now. >> should european union >> why should the european union do with some agreement do come up with some agreement to stop the boats when we're going to take less than we are now? it's not going to happen. and eu diplomats are now and even eu diplomats are now sort laughing this. no sort of laughing at this. no i mean, the i held the civilian portfolio for border management for the european union for three years outside for external of the european union's own borders . and i can tell you that this is not going to happen if keir

starmer really believes that it's going to happen, then he's not competent to govern. if he's lying to us, which is the other alternative, he's still not competent. >> i think he might have made a mistake, but he's exploring it. >> there's no sense in which this is definitely going to happen. he's in opposition. he's not the tories haven't got a grip on this. he's trying to get a grip it. if it proves a grip on it. if it proves unworkable, he won't do it. the most important thing, by the way, going up the way, is to going speed up the system which by which claims system by which by which claims are processed . if he can do are processed. if he can do that, that's going us that, that's going to save us billions. that, that's going to save us billwell, well, it will unless >> well, it well, it will unless it is just. come on, then it is just. okay, come on, then you come. let's let's just wave it all through and reduce the backlog. but we'll to wait backlog. but we'll have to wait and have to wait and and see. we'll have to wait and see of right. could and see. we'll have to wait and seethis of right. could and see. we'll have to wait and seethis allf right. could and see. we'll have to wait and seethis all day. right. could and see. we'll have to wait and seethis all day. and ht. could and see. we'll have to wait and seethis all day. and in could and see. we'll have to wait and seethis all day. and in manyyuld do this all day. and in many ways, i wish that we did. but alas, there's other news. henry bolton, obe international bolton, there obe international security control security and border control expert matthew stadlen expert and matthew stadlen as well, commentator, are expert and matthew stadlen as well, up commentator, are expert and matthew stadlen as well, up watch nmentator, are expert and matthew stadlen as well, up watch nme cricket are back up to watch the cricket now. lucky for you. now. aren't you? lucky for you. right? coming up, a new right? okay. coming up, a new poll has revealed that parents are increasingly less are putting an increasingly less value on obedience. but we

value on obedience. but are we at raising a generation at risk of raising a generation of no manners? of children with no manners? it's and good. it's all very well and good. i mean, these free range kids. but when they're kicking the back of your look, your seat on an aeroplane, look, i'm going ask, is it ever i'm going to ask, is it ever okay to smite

tv, radio and online gb news. britain's news . britain's news. channel >> welcome back. it is 426. you're watching and listening to me. patrick christys on gb news on your tv, online and radio. still to come, as the government

looks to delay a promised ban on gay conversion therapy, what's behind the delay? is gay conversion therapy. even okay. and it's the prison at the centre of the daniel khalife escape story, but it's operated by bunch skivers as it's by a bunch of skivers as it's been revealed that 80 prison guards failed to turn up on the day that khalife escaped. it's about 39% of staff off on the day that that guy got out. but a new study shows that british people are placing less importance on instilling obedience in their children compared to other countries. according to the policy institute at king's college london, britain's came 20th out of 24. when it comes to obedience and 23rd out of 24 when it comes to responsibility. so teaching your kids obedience and state responsibility . can i and state responsibility. can i just say when you look around right now, is that a massive shock, actually. but the report states that countries which make obedience a top priority are nigeria, mexico and egypt. whilst japan, china, south korea and sweden . across those two

and sweden. across those two topics ranked below the uk. topics are ranked below the uk. joining us live from devon is home educator and digital creator is karen howard. and karen, thank you very, very much . should we be teaching kids obedience and responsible city more? i mean, why are we not. >> well, i think and hello i don't know what parents are ranking these sort of virtues . don't know what parents are ranking these sort of virtues. i mean, when you are parenting a child, it's all about teaching them the traditional ways of being. you know, how you need to behave. you know, you need to be polite, you need to be kind and i can't really say i would prioritise anything. i i know that my children an need to behave a certain way because they need boundaries as they like boundaries. they need boundaries as they like boundaries . they need to like boundaries. they need to know where they stop , where's know where they stop, where's the limit? not just for, you know , comportment, but also for

safety. >> you know, can can i ask you, don't you don't have to you don't you don't have to you don't have to answer this. >> but where are you on the old is it ever all right to give your kid a clip around the ear debate ? debate? >> i knew you were going to ask me that and i'm not getting involved. >> oh, okay. >> oh, okay. >> all right. fair enough. see, i don't have to get involved cause i haven't got kids, so i can't. no one can. no one can ask me that question. but i will say i'm not opposed to it. right? i'm not opposed it in right? i'm not opposed to it in principle. anyway, we will principle. but anyway, we will leave particular topic leave that particular topic there then for but for me, there then for you. but for me, it seems like there's a rise now in you know, free in people going, you know, free range parenting and all of all of this stuff. and what that culminates in as far can culminates in as far as i can tell, is a child screaming and kicking the back of my seat on an aeroplane and the parent just ignonng ignoring it. yeah yeah. >> i i think what's >> i mean, i think what's important to note is that this general ocean of parents aren't any better than previous generations of parents. we may

have quite different parenting styles, but that doesn't mean that we've got it right. >> and it also doesn't mean that our parents generation got it right either. and i think the focus, which is highlighted in the study is that maybe for the generation before us, there was more of a priority on obedience as in you are seen and not heard or you very much take your parents lead . parents lead. >> and i think that now our generation are very much about emphasising kindness as supporting independence, encouraging that sort of self—discovery as opposed to know you are under the rule of your mother and father. >> here i think there's an indulgent, maybe of a fantasy , indulgent, maybe of a fantasy, maybe at times, perhaps you could say, you know, it's the kids should have a healthy mixture. i think of, you know, really nice enjoyment, freedom to explore the world and to dream and to be a magical place, but also taught that you chew

with your mouth closed and you say please and thank you and you know, please for the love of god, don't embarrass me at restaurant. >> oh, absolutely . i mean, the >> oh, absolutely. i mean, the number of times that i have spoken through gritted teeth , spoken through gritted teeth, you know, just just. >> but i think it's important to note that, um, i mean, my husband and i were both teachers or we have a history of being teachers, and we understand and the importance of, of children understanding boundaries. >> right, what's wrong, >> what's right, what's wrong, don't embarrass us. be polite. you know, do yourself a service. you know, do yourself a service. you know, do yourself a service. you know , i understand. and you know, i understand. and obviously, we're a country living. my boys don't own shoes more more of the time than not. they're just barefoot all the time . but i do understand the time. but i do understand the mutual respect for people who don't have children and that they are out in society . don't they are out in society. don't forget, we are growing the next generation to fit into a society where there are expectations of them to behave well.

>> this is my this is this is part of the problem. this is the part of the problem. this is the part of the problem, which is, you know, i do tend to look around at society a bit now and i think, well, i'm not sure it might have sailed, unfortunately, but thank you very great chat. lovely very much. great to chat. lovely to again. have a lovely to see you again. have a lovely weekend. howden there weekend. is karen howden there from devon, who is a home educator and digital creator. we're having good natured chat we're having a good natured chat there. i think there's a serious, very serious undertone to now, is think to this now, which is i think a lot of people who, you know, infantilize kids the infantilize their kids to the point they decide not to point where they decide not to discipline then discipline them and then they will no personal will teach them no personal responsibility. those responsibility. and those kids grow to be completely unruly, grow up to be completely unruly, shoplifting idiots who decide to take responsibility take no personal responsibility for that they are, you for the fact that they are, you know, somebody else's know, everything somebody else's fault, the fault, isn't it? and then the parent as well, the parent, you know, they let society up know, they let society pick up the for the fact they've the mess for the fact they've done bad raising their done a bad job of raising their kid anyway. still to come, between now 5:00, the between now and 5:00, should the government the ban government be delaying the ban on therapy, on gay conversion therapy, banning as banning the therapy is not as easy some like to easy as some would like to think. could the legislature mean the adults parents mean the adults and parents could if they

could be punished if they question a child's wish to change gender? that is the bit that i'm most interested in. but right now, as your headlines, we're middlehurst. we're polly middlehurst. >> patrick, thank you. the top stories this hour, the man killed in a dog attack in staffordshire yesterday afternoon has been named by police as 52 year old ian price and a man has been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of two dangerous dogs. believed to be american excel bullies. the prime minister has today said the breed will be banned in the uk by the end of the year. also in the news today, sarah sharif's family have been remanded in custody after being charged with the ten year old's murder. sarah's father, irfan shanf murder. sarah's father, irfan sharif, and his partner and brother appeared in court today . they've also been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child . and unions have vowed a child. and unions have vowed to fight the government after a half billion pound investment in tata steel has put 3000 jobs at

solar proud sponsors of weather on . on. gb news it looks like the government plans to ban gay conversion therapy could be ditched amid concerns that the draft bill could have unintended consequences for parents and teachers dealing with trans children. >> so boris johnson pledged to end the discredited practise dunng end the discredited practise during the 2019 election. but yesterday , commons leader penny yesterday, commons leader penny mordaunt dodged answering questions about whether the commitment to implement the ban will be met. it's worth noting thing when it comes to penny mordaunt that she actually in the past has courted a bit of controversy amongst conservative voters by saying trans women are women . so i don't really think women. so i don't really think this is can be accused of being a penny mordaunt transphobic thing, particularly to be honest with but should the with you, but should the government delaying the ban government be delaying the ban on conversion therapy ? and

on gay conversion therapy? and what the issues be at home what could the issues be at home if you say have a 12 or 13 year old son or daughter who starts to say that they're questioning the body that they're born into as a parent, if you say , i don't as a parent, if you say, i don't think you need medication for that, maybe you should see some therapy, would you then would you then be a criminal? therapy, would you then would you then be a criminal ? i don't you then be a criminal? i don't think you can be a criminal for doing that, surely. but joining me now is peter tatchell, lgbtq activist director of the activist and director of the peter tatchell foundation. peter, thank you very much. look, your overall take on whether not this this banning whether or not this this banning of gay conversion therapy should be what's be delayed, scrapped. what's going well, first, let going on? well well, first, let me say that the ban on conversion therapy , which is the conversion therapy, which is the attempt to change someone , attempt to change someone, sexual orientation or gender identity was first promised by theresa may way back in july 2018. >> and it had been repeatedly reiterated and reconfirmed by successive leaders ever since , successive leaders ever since, even just in march this year.

penny mordaunt did promise the legislation would come forward and be in the king's speech in november . and be in the king's speech in november. now and be in the king's speech in november . now the government november. now the government appears to have ditched that it is going against all the advice from the world's leading medical , psychiatric and counselling organisations. they all say that these practises are abusive, unethical or harmful and they don't work . now, to answer your don't work. now, to answer your point , i don't work. now, to answer your point, i mean, i think it is very , very, very unclear as to very, very, very unclear as to what the supposed unintended consequences are because there are safeguards. 25 countries have already banned conversion therapy. the australian state of victoria has a model example of a legislation which is working very, very well where none of these anxieties or fears have materialised and we could simply cherry pick that and make make some very minor amendments and

it would work well for britain. so why the hell is there ? so why the hell is there? >> well, i think the concern the concern is that let's say i had a 13 year old son and that son came home and said, dad, i think i've been born into the wrong body. and i said, look, i think maybe you're going through a bit of a phase let's explore of a phase or let's explore this. is there an underlying issue here or do you want to go and see a therapist? but that then might make me a criminal, so well , none of the then might make me a criminal, so well, none of the proposed legislations or the existing legislations or the existing legislations anywhere in the world allow for that . world allow for that. >> they all give the parent, the parents, the right to talk to their children about it and to question their decision. so that is a unfounded fear. question their decision. so that is a unfounded fear . and i is a unfounded fear. and i think, you know, just be reassure board. there are 25 countries, not just states in australia and the us, but also canada, new zealand, france, a very long list where the ban has worked well and parental rights have not been usurped . have not been usurped. >> what goes on at gay

conversion therapy ? well there conversion therapy? well there are many different forms. >> the traditional form is a psychiatrist or psychologist will seek to persuade sometimes pressure. a young person to change their sexual or gender identity . see? but it can identity. see? but it can include quite abusive treatments , including it does work for some people, though peter doesn't it? >> it it some some people do have gone through it and stand by it . so some people for whom by it. so some people for whom they feel, especially if they've got extremely strident religious views and they feel as though in a fundamentalist sense that their sexuality may well contradict their religion , then contradict their religion, then sometimes people go through it and they swear by it, though don't they? >> well, it's a very, very tiny minority. and i've got to say that most of those people have

since subsequently been caught out, continue doing to be gay. and have same sex relationships. they've been exposed for pretending or proclaiming that they've changed, but they actually haven't. but never mind .even actually haven't. but never mind . even so, the therapies have been exposed in reports as being very abusive and psychologically damaging. people who undergo conversion therapy tend to have very high levels of anxiety, depression and even suicidal thoughts . and i know friends of thoughts. and i know friends of mine from many years ago who went through some of these conversion therapies and they were not cured, but they were made a psychological and emotional wreck. they were they had a nervous breakdown. so i think it's a very bad practise to pursue and we should follow the leading psychiatrists , the leading psychiatrists, medical experts and counsellors to say the practise is wrong . to say the practise is wrong. >> look, peter, thank you very, very much. it's interesting stuff. it's actually kind of for once a story that i don't have personal strong views on. so it's quite nice to chat with you about peter tatchell, the about it. peter tatchell, the

lgbtq director of lgbtq activist and director of the peter tatchell foundation. right other news, was the right in other news, it was the manhunt captivated the manhunt that captivated the nation. suspect nation. escaped terror suspect daniel who spent three daniel khalife, who spent three days london before days on the run in london before , course, he was apprehended. , of course, he was apprehended. now, out 80 now, it's turned out that 80 prison officers at wandsworth skipped shifts, 39% of skipped their shifts, 39% of staff off ski on that day. what's going on? a former wandsworth prisoner joins me now, david shipley. david, thank you very much. is it a shock to you very much. is it a shock to you that nearly 40% of one tolworth staff were were off? no no, not at all. >> i think this is this is quite typical. >> so if you look at the most recent inspection that charlie taylor's been talking about this week, 35, 40% of staff off is a normal day at wandsworth . normal day at wandsworth. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, why don't more of you escape that ? escape that? >> that, i suppose, is the question. i think the thing is, our prisons operate under this kind of cloak of secrecy and

disinterest . disinterest. >> we don't normally talk about them and no one is very interested on the in the detail of what's going on in our prisons. and i think with this story of daniel khalife escape being in the news, people are now starting to look into the detail of how wandsworth actually operates, how other prisons operate . and there's actually operates, how other prisonto»perate . and there's actually operates, how other prisonto be 'ate . and there's actually operates, how other prisonto be moreand there's actually operates, how other prisonto be more andthere's actually operates, how other prisonto be more and mores going to be more and more stories coming out stories like this coming out where everyone's shocked because how you prison with how can you run a prison with 40% of its officers off sick ? 40% of its officers off sick? >> do you buy it? do you buy it? david this line, this line that's coming out now that's saying, oh, this just saying, oh, well, this just shows tough off it really is shows how tough off it really is in prison and that it's having an effect on the mental health and all of that of prison staff. i can sympathise with that, but prisons are a bad place that tend to be where we put bad people. so isn't that just what you get ? you get? >> i mean, i think prisons are a tough place and they're always going to be a tough environment to work. but i think there are particular things about the way we construct our prison system,

which makes it damaging and traumatising for prisoners, traumatising for the prisoners, but the and but also for the staff and understaffing to understaffing contribute to that. if you're always stretched thin , there's1 that. if you're always stretched thin , there's 1 or 2 of you thin, there's 1 or 2 of you responsible for 100 potentially dangerous on a wing. you're dangerous men on a wing. you're always looking over your shoulder. that must be a really stressful environment to work in and think it's not surprising and i think it's not surprising and i think it's not surprising a lot of officers burn out or they they turn to drink or they become depressed or they kind of switch off emotionally because as they are operating in an environment where they're under a huge amount of strain, i just find it absolutely staggering that on the day that daniel khalife escaped , they say that khalife escaped, they say that 39% of prison staff and by the way, apparently that's not a bad day. >> apparently that's not not far off bang, average, which i find remarkable. anyway, david, thank you very much. always a pleasure to david shipley is to chat. david shipley is a former wandsworth prisoner. hopefully escaped. hopefully he's not escaped. i think genuinely out and think he is genuinely out and about. there we about. but there we go. artificial intelligence. is it a threat to civilisation? yes, that's that's according that's right. that's according to could i be a

to elon musk. so could i be a bigger threat than we think? i'm patrick christys on gb news. we are british news channel. oh and also i will have an update for you on supposed biohazard incident taking place at dover harbour . incident taking place at dover harbour. don't miss out for

>> the camilla tominey show sunday mornings from 930 on news i >> welcome back. it is 348. you're watching or listening to me? patrick christys on gb news

tv online radio. now a delegation of tech leaders have met in washington, dc this week for a closed door meeting with senators to discuss the rise and the threat of artificial intelligence. the meeting was billed as an ai safety forum, but interestingly , adding to but interestingly, adding to elon musk's comments earlier this year, a consensus amongst tech leaders was that al needs to be regulated. look, i'll say with a lot of time and say what they actually said, which is that it could be a threat to civil ization, which i mean, that pricked my ears up. i don't know about you. joining me now is broadcaster lawyer and futurist. it's andrew eborn. andrew, thank you very, very much . ai andrew, thank you very, very much . al to kill us much. is ai going to kill us all? well, i tell you what, ai is greatest human is probably the greatest human achievement, the achievement, but also the biggest existential threat. >> and the reason for that is because it can do all sorts of wonderful things. >> it can replicate whatever we can do as humans. >> but there's a number of dangers. >> so there's dangers. one >> so there's two dangers. one is input, the data that is when the input, the data that you put people talk about you put in and people talk about prejudice and and so

forth. >> and there's also then the output there's sorts of output and there's all sorts of things that can work things about how that can work against people. >> and you have things such as hallucinations where if chatgpt doesn't know the answer to something makes up. something, it makes it up. >> so there's a case, it's amazing. >> so there's a case at the moment a way that's quite moment in a way that's quite human, moment in a way that's quite hurlan, moment in a way that's quite huri mean, we've all been in a >> i mean, we've all been in a situation like that, a politician, someone asks you a question and you need to make it up. >> well, the danger is this, is that there's been a law professor in the states, there's a radio host in the states where he basically said he was accused of embezzlement when people looked about it. >> wasn't true at all. so >> and it wasn't true at all. so he is suing the owners of he is now suing the owners of chatgpt, a company called openai, defamation. openai, for defamation. so interesting stuff. the interesting stuff. and the actors at moment in actors strike at the moment in hollywood all about al and hollywood is all about al and how ai is going to replace loads of jobs. and it's goldman sachs, in fact, who said there are about 300 million jobs are going to too. to be lost too. >> when people hear about al >> so when people hear about al and they think threat to civilisation, i think certainly where my mind goes is armed robots on the streets or nuclear weapons being fired everywhere.

robots on the streets or nuclear wea actually,|g fired everywhere. robots on the streets or nuclear wea actually, i fired everywhere. robots on the streets or nuclear wea actually, i think everywhere. robots on the streets or nuclear wea actually, i think the rywhere. but actually, i think the more existential threat to civilisation i think is the fact that it would render billions of people's jobs irrelevant . it you people's jobs irrelevant. it you are then unemployed and we have some kind of , are then unemployed and we have some kind of, i don't are then unemployed and we have some kind of , i don't know, some kind of, i don't know, living allowance or something along those lines, but big corporate actions like your apple's of this world and all of that you continue to be that need you to continue to be able afford to buy their able to afford to buy their product. so if you're not working, they go bust and working, they all go bust and society crumbles. >> you're right. >> yes. no, you're right. >> yes. no, you're right. >> and that's angle it. >> and that's one angle to it. but new jobs will be but the new jobs will be created. technology is always, as said, thing as people said, the same thing about the printing press that's as people said, the same thing about to e printing press that's as people said, the same thing about to do rinting press that's as people said, the same thing about to do everybody;s that's going to do everybody out of jobs come up with new jobs and they come up with new things. i mean, the internet, they were saying going to they were saying that's going to destroy people, destroy zillions of people, travel and so travel agents. and so on and so forth. the is new jobs forth. the reality is new jobs will created. what's going to will be created. what's going to happenis will be created. what's going to happen is we're going to have more time. so you more leisure time. and so you need to look at that sort of side. but some of the big threats well are things about threats as well are things about misinformation. we're living in a diseased information a very diseased information world, politics at world, and you have politics at the you can the moment where you can basically you might basically have you might remember fake was

remember the fake pope who was wearing puffer jacket. remember the fake pope who was wearing pufferjacket. do you wearing a pufferjacket. do you remember so the devil may remember that? so the devil may wear remember that? so the devil may weithese pictures that >> these are the pictures that i can create. and one of the things as well, by the way, that was on your screens a moment ago, if you're watching us on tv, you're listening on tv, if you're listening on radio, watch when tv, if you're listening on radiyget watch when tv, if you're listening on radiyget home. watch when tv, if you're listening on radiyget home. but watch when tv, if you're listening on radiyget home. but was:h when tv, if you're listening on radiyget home. but was basically you get home. but was basically a girlfriend. yes okay. a fake girlfriend. yes okay. which imagine for which i can imagine for a certain type man might be certain type of man might be very well, the very appealing. well, the institute marriage goes out institute of marriage goes out the window. >> and worse than that, >> well, and worse than that, people developing people are developing relationships with al girlfriends. very girlfriends. and there was very famous in court. famous case recently in court. in in last few days, in fact, in the last few days, a jaswant singh chell, who basically the chap who basically was the chap who climbed kill the queen climbed in to kill the queen with crossbow. and with a crossbow. yeah. and he basically was encouraged basically said he was encouraged by ai girlfriend to do that. by his ai girlfriend to do that. so people develop a relationship . and in fact, the university of california, basically they they worked out that chatting to chat. gpt was better than chatting to your gp because it's got more empathy. it will spend more time and so on. >> by the way, can i just say thatis >> by the way, can i just say that is really saying something. if they go this chat bot has got more empathy than that human

being you go to with a hurt. being who you go to with a hurt. >> oh absolutely . and the thing >> oh absolutely. and the thing and worse that patrick and it's worse than that patrick as because it can now not as well because it can now not just the bit , as well because it can now not just the bit, it can just the typing bit, it can imitate your favourite voice, it will about you than will know more about you than your mother. it recreates songs. >> it does all you know, >> it does all sorts. you know, i i am pretty concerned that i am i am pretty concerned that there truth in and there is some truth in this, and i think have maybe created i think we have maybe created a monster we've the monster and we've got the experts the industry experts, the industry leaders, the creators of ai and people who are , you know, tech boffins who are, you know, tech boffins who are, you know, tech boffins who are, you know, tech boffins who are basically all saying, look, this is data virus. >> it is dangerous. but they're also saying they're balancing that, saying it's also a tremendous opportunity. to give you an example, i mean, here we are. one out of the are. i got one out of the cutlery thing here. if you have a fork. yeah, okay. i can use that for eating spaghetti. >> an i uri gallery? >> you an i uri gallery? >> you an i uri gallery? >> i could could work on >> i could be i could work on that sort basis. you've that sort of basis. but you've got fork. can eat spaghetti, got fork. you can eat spaghetti, but you can also stab somebody in what you don't do in the back. what you don't do is production of forks. is stop the production of forks. you how that should you regulate how that should happen. and what these happen. and so what all these tech titans doing is looking

the proposed ban. >> the first step is to convene a group of experts in the field and the police to define the breed and then using the powers under the existing dangerous dogs act. we will then be able to ban the breed and laws will be in place by the end of the yeah be in place by the end of the year. but it's clear from the attacks we've seen tragic incidents need to incidents that we do need to take action to protect the pubuc take action to protect the public and stop these attacks. and what we're going to and that's what we're going to do . do. >> rishi sunak now, three members family members of sara sharif's family have been remanded in custody after being charged with the ten year old's murder. sara's father, irfan sharif , and his father, irfan sharif, and his partner and brother appeared at westminster magistrates court today. westminster magistrates court today . they've also been charged today. they've also been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child. sara was found dead at her home in woking in surrey after officers were called from pakistan by her father on the 10th of august. unions have vowed to fight the government tooth and nail after a half billion pound government investment in tata steel has,

jobs. i think only this conservative government could spend half £1 billion making thousands of people redundant. >> i was at port talbot yesterday. i was talking to the workforce. of course they support green steel. of course they want to see this transition take place. but they they were promised they'd be a part of it. they were promised they'd be consulted on the plans for the future. fundamentally, this future. and fundamentally, this should about more should be a story about more jobs. there are huge opportunities , liz, for green opportunities, liz, for green steel in the uk and the way that this has been presented to them obviously has them worried . obviously has them worried. >> train drivers will strike at the end of this month in their long running dispute over pay. the aslef union says its members at train operators will walk at 16 train operators will walk out on the 30th of september and on the 4th of october the action will coincide with the conservative party's annual conference. the union said the strikes would force train operators to cancel all services , causing travel disruption for passenger cars . now 80 prison

your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. more now from patrick christys as . keir patrick christys as. keir starmer has had an absolute shocker , the mask has slipped in. >> the blair 2.0 has come out to play. if the labour leader had just kept his mouth shut on immigration, he was home and hosed at the next election. but he decided to put his big boy pants take yvette with pants on and take yvette with him role play as prime him to role play as prime minister around europe. i'm here at of at the hague and many people, of course, think that he should have actually into tony have actually bumped into tony blair that's blair there. but that's a separate issue. and yvette and i, going go and knock i, we're going to go and knock some together. we're going i, we're going to go and knock so show together. we're going i, we're going to go and knock so show that together. we're going i, we're going to go and knock so show that we ether. we're going i, we're going to go and knock so show that we canr. we're going i, we're going to go and knock so show that we can be ie're going i, we're going to go and knock so show that we can be trusted ng to show that we can be trusted on the world stage. we're going to sort the migrant crisis. to sort out the migrant crisis. well, in reality, what's happened starmer happened is that keir starmer has deal that has tried to float a deal that was utterly doomed to failure would certainly result would almost certainly result in us taking more illegal immigrants we now. do immigrants than we have now. do nothing the migrant nothing to cut the migrant hotel bill bring us closer to bill and will bring us closer to europe. the work put in

europe. all the work he put in trying convince people he's trying to convince people he's no a signed up remainer no longer a signed up remainer has gone out the window he's has gone out the window and he's alienated anybody who voted for brexit. people who live brexit. loads of people who live in red wall anybody who in the red wall and anybody who wants take fewer illegal wants to take fewer illegal immigrants. he's also immigrants. crucially, he's also been completely mugged off by brussels . eu diplomats slapped brussels. eu diplomats slapped down his suggestions, saying they can't get their they can't even get their own house order. they're goes house in order. so they're goes his big attempt to look powerful on the world stage . he's also on the world stage. he's also unwittingly exposed what a slow moving, divided , dysfunctional moving, divided, dysfunctional juggernaut of misery . the juggernaut of misery. the european union actually is the dubun european union actually is the dublin agreement didn't work. anybody who says it did is lying . if it worked so well, why is the eu spent seven years trying to come up with an alternate lviv now they want each country to a minimum of 30,000 to take a minimum of 30,000 people or pay ,20,000 for each one that they don't take just under a quarter of a million people crossed. the eu's external borders in the first eight months of this year. that is up 18% on last year, the highest since 2016. and let's be honest, it's only going to go

up, isn't it? countries with a large population and economy will take more . apart from the will take more. apart from the fact that germany and france have just stopped taking migrants from italy because they say that the italians aren't doing their bit, despite lampedusa welcoming more than 8000 people in the last two days. oh, and the whole plan has stalled anyway because hungary and poland , who appear to be and poland, who appear to be among the only countries left in europe value their culture, europe who value their culture, are dead against it anyway . keir are dead against it anyway. keir starmer has tried to grandstand , failed, tries to come up with a policy , failed, to a policy, failed, tried to foster ties with europe, foster closer ties with europe, which is political suicide, by the . but crucially, he's the way. but crucially, he's also failed that. so he also failed at that. so he hasn't got wanted hasn't even got what he wanted currently under the tories, we are doing an appalling job of controlling borders. the controlling our borders. but the fact is that starmer was fact is that keir starmer was happy let the european union happy to let the european union dictate our border policy to us and surely that is worse . and surely that is even worse. let's go to mark white now, our

home security editor with the latest from dover. well, last time we sparked spoke, mark, there appeared to be some kind of biohazard going on. >> yeah, still no word from the home office as to what exactly this is. but our producer down in kent, who is on the cliff tops overlooking dover harbour most days for arrivals there, he got some images of those border force , other officials in white, force, other officials in white, white biohazard suits. you can see their coveralls and goggles is that they're wearing and right next to them are a number of these bio hazard forensic type blue tents. and what we saw throughout the course of a couple of hours is as some boats that came in as border force vessels that were taking migrants down the gangway there towards the blue tents , it did

towards the blue tents, it did usher some of those migrants into the blue tents themselves. so quite what the health concerns are, we don't know. but it's very clear from looking at them in the way that they're dressed that they're there because there is some issue. what could that be? >> could that be intel led? i mean, could that be something from the french side saying, look, we've seen outbreaks of this, this, this and this, so be aware coming across aware that people coming across the likely to the channel are more likely to be unwell or it could be that they've actually found something when they've pulled people out of the water, they may well have carried out some tests or been told something by the migrants. >> we don't know exactly what it is , but it means effectively is, but it means effectively that they have to take these precautions . and we know that precautions. and we know that there are health risks associated with those who have been living rough in in france

around calais and dunkirk. sleep being rough in tents , if they're being rough in tents, if they're lucky. sometimes goes for weeks, even months. and they've been picking up all kinds of diseases as including scabies , as including scabies, tuberculosis, which which the wethersfield base that former raf site that base in essex, which is now home to a couple of hundred migrants , it's expanding hundred migrants, it's expanding all the time . they had outbreaks all the time. they had outbreaks of disease there. so there is clearly concern it may be related to that . the home related to that. the home office, as i say , have been office, as i say, have been reached out to for contact and information , but they haven't information, but they haven't come back with anything. >> i would imagine they'd have to tell us something soon. i mean, they've slapped a load of blue tents and people are wearing biohazard at our wearing biohazard outfits at our border a load of people are border and a load of people are arriving. so it'd be quite nice if arriving. so it'd be quite nice h pubuc arriving. so it'd be quite nice if public had idea of if the public had an idea of what going mark, what was going on. but, mark, thank very mark white

thank you very much. mark white there. home security editor. there. our home security editor. mark that as mark will break more on that as we it. but well, as you were we get it. but well, as you were hearing, circus tom moore has unveiled party's plan to unveiled his party's plan to tackle channel migrant tackle the channel migrant crisis, to up crisis, pledging to set up special fast nightingale special fast track nightingale courts asylum backlog courts to tackle asylum backlog applications attempting applications and attempting to negotiate in negotiate a deal with the eu in return for smashing the smuggling it comes as the smuggling gangs. it comes as the new gb news people's poll found that 68% of conservative and 67% of leavers think immigration has made crime worse , as do nearly made crime worse, as do nearly half of all voters , fuelling half of all voters, fuelling concerns about britain's migration troubles. hi, i'm joined now by michael fabricant, conservative mp for lichfield. michael, always a pleasure to see you. how's keir starmer secured or scored ? even secured or scored? even a massive political own goal here or actually , is he on to or actually, is he on to something ? something? >> i wonder whether he actually believes any of it himself . believes any of it himself. >> he went for a meeting, as you said , in the hague. said, in the hague. >> the european union themselves

can't agree on actually how many people each country should take. >> he's now saying, oh, i could do a deal with the european union because i'm prepared to speak to them . speak to them. >> the european officials are now briefing that he is deluded because they can't get an agreement within themselves. >> they're certainly not going to get an agreement with a country outside the eu. >> the united kingdom. >> the united kingdom. >> if he'd got an >> and even if he'd got an agreement, what would it mean? it would mean that we'd be taking in as part of that agreement with assuming there was an agreement, 100 to 120,000 immigrants that the european union want to dump on us. >> and if people aren't included in that list and they're on the camps in tents in calais , camps in tents in calais, they're still going to come across by boat. so he's got no solution whatsoever . solution whatsoever. >> look, there is a chance that it's actually going to increase the number of people that we end up taking, but also that europe takes a whole. because if

takes as a whole. because if people they only have people know that they only have to the money to get from to find the money to get from africa to lampedusa , then africa to lampedusa, then actually they don't then have to find more money to travel across the continent and then pay a human trafficker to get them across the so across the channel. so realistically it end up realistically, it could end up leading to more migrants coming across, which i don't think anyone would think would be a particularly great thing because we would still have problem. we would still have the problem. michael the michael wouldn't we, of the taxpayer to pay for these taxpayer having to pay for these people to live somewhere that's not solved , is that's not being solved, is it? that's right. that's right. >> and, you know, every time we have tried to do something in parliament, like have a real deterrent by being able to send them to off rwanda or wherever , them to off rwanda or wherever, every time we do that , it keir every time we do that, it keir starmer almost forgot his name there. >> c'est armour it is motley crew opposite vote against it. >> i mean, as one of your specialists said on gb news this morning, the conservatives at the moment are not succeed in stopping the boats because of

course we haven't been able to send them off to rwanda, but at least the conservatives are trying. >> and he says the problem with labouris >> and he says the problem with labour is they don't even want to try. they want the immigrants to try. they want the immigrants to come here regardless of whether or not they're being persecuted or whether in fact they just choose to come here. >> so, look, do you think that there is something deliberate? keir starmer will say, i want to stop the channel migrant crisis. i want to create a safe and legal route. these are some people's priorities. therefore thatis people's priorities. therefore that is what this would do. so you know, is he on to something there? i mean, is that is that is something that you is that something that you think, know, people could think, you know, people could actually screw ? actually get behind and screw? the numbers will take more but as long we've not got people as long as we've not got people drowning the channel and drowning in the channel and i can say the safe and legal routes, that's enough. >> i think anybody who >> well, i think anybody who actually believes what keir starmer actually has starmer is actually saying has to incredibly naive or or a to be incredibly naive or or a very, very red socialist indeed and doesn't really care what he says. >> the point is, you know,

you've got yvette cooper spouting on that. she's going to take an extra thousand experts in order to deal with the number of migrants who have come over here. so there isn't a backlog. she doesn't say where she's going thousand going to get these thousand experts from . um, and what's experts from. um, and what's going to happen. either they will be agreed to that they can stay here and they probably will under a labour government or they'll to be sent back they'll have to be sent back somewhere wait minute. somewhere. wait a minute. >> thing i do, i do >> the thing is i do, i do wonder though. i do. i do wonder though. michael i mean i've made my starmers micro my views on keir starmers micro policy. flippin clear, policy. pretty flippin clear, right? but i do whether right? but i do wonder whether or the tories have given him or not the tories have given him an there's an absolute gift because there's two play here, which two factors at play here, which is that far i can tell at is that as far as i can tell at the moment, basically everybody's staying anyway under a b, a conservative government and b, you been in power you know, you've been in power for 13 years and we're in a mess. so could it that much mess. so could it be that much worse? those things worse? and he has those things on side, doesn't can on his side, doesn't he? he can now, despite wanting to be now, despite never wanting to be seen near tony seen anywhere near tony blair, because people want to because people don't want to call blair. 2.0. he can call him tony blair. 2.0. he can go to brussels. he can go to the hague, sorry, go to the eu, talk

to them, meet macron, do something that is essentially dragging us back into the european and still back european union and still back his winning an his chances of winning an election. his chances of winning an eleiwell, mean, exactly >> well, i mean, that's exactly the course. he's the argument. of course. he's saying, they've been there saying, well, they've been there 13 come on, i might be 13 years. come on, i might be useless. what? useless. but you know what? i won't be any more useless than the . and that's more or the tories. and that's more or less he's saying . actually, less what he's saying. actually, it's last or it's only been the last 4 or 5 years that the people traffickers have been sending the across , and we've been the boats across, and we've been trying very hard stop it. and trying very hard to stop it. and as said to before , as i've said to you before, patrick, actually the french police have stopped about half the across the english the movement across the english channel. but that's still a half too much. who are coming over here. the problem is he's not coming up with any solutions. and every time we come up with a solution in like the very real threat of sending them to rwanda and other countries , he votes and other countries, he votes against it. i actually think he wants them over here. >> do you think it's part of a plan then? do you think? you think why would keir starmer want actively want it? 100 to

180,000 people a year as part of an eu quota scheme? >> i think he simply thinks that by going over to the hague saying rather naive , silly saying rather naive, silly statements like, oh, you know, the other day, by the way, he said, oh, i would actually negotiate with europe, the european, the conservatives are not talking to the of course, we're talking to the european union. we talk with them all the time. and we know full well the european do a deal. european union can't do a deal. they're able a deal . they're not able to do a deal. but of course, he does his little soundbite, right and says, i'll deal as if we're says, i'll do a deal as if we're not doing anything at benefit, the benefit to come out of it. >> merkel the general election, as you were alluding to there, the absolute benefit that has come this, is that come out of this, which is that it's highlighted some of it's highlighted again, some of the in the the inner turmoil in the european you've got european union. you've got hungary poland saying we hungary and poland saying we want asylum seeker want no part of an asylum seeker quota. welcomed, quota. italy's just welcomed, welcomed 8000 people, mostly from mostly men on the from africa, mostly men on the island of lampedusa in the last couple of days, france and germany are saying we actually

don't take any one from don't want to take any one from italy we don't think italy because we don't think they're which they're doing their bit, which i imagine of italy imagine the people of italy would laugh at. really, the idea they're doing enough. and they're not doing enough. and alas, go. thank alas, here we go. michael, thank you michael you very, very much. michael fabncant you very, very much. michael fabricant conservative you very, very much. michael fabrthank conservative you very, very much. michael fabrthank you conservative you very, very much. michael fabrthank you for nservative you very, very much. michael fabrthank you for litchfield in mp. thank you for litchfield in front the show, front of the front of the show, front of the channel now following a series of prime minister channel now following a series of announcedprime minister channel now following a series of announced thata minister channel now following a series of announced that the nister channel now following a series of announced that the american has announced that the american xl are set to be xl bully dogs are set to be banned by the end of the year. what does that really mean? what doesit what does that really mean? what does it mean for cross breeds of bullies, etcetera? or is it not all the owner's fault? patrick christys britain's news christys gb news britain's news

is the people's channel. britain's news . is the people's channel. britain's news. channel >> welcome back. 5:24. you're watching and listening to me. patrick christys on gb news tv, radio and online. still to come first it was sadiq khan. now humza yousaf stands accused . humza yousaf stands accused. what's behind the rise is of pubuc what's behind the rise is of public officials looking to mass charge or cover up data to support their cause, especially on the environment. i'll be telling you exactly what all that's about shortly and a gb news exclusive poll has revealed almost 2 in 3 brits would back a zero tolerance approach from the police towards those caught shoplifting. what does that really mean, though? do you lock them all up? we'd have to build more prisons. but before that, the american xl bully dog will be banned the end of the year be banned by the end of the year following of attacks. following a series of attacks. that's our prime that's according to our prime minister of minister rishi sunak. this, of course, comes after a 30 year old man has been arrested on suspicion charge of suspicion of being in charge of

dogs of control, dogs dangerously out of control, causing injury been causing injury and has been further arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after a man died following an attack in stonewall yesterday. is, of course, yesterday. this is, of course, the latest of a line of xl bully issues . i've got a poll that's issues. i've got a poll that's just closed actually on my twitter, 75% of you apparently think that we should be banning xl bullies. i'm very conflicted about it. our reporter, will hollis has been out locally today near where the attack took place. and he asked whether people xl bully ban people thought the xl bully ban was right . was right. >> well, if they're going to be vicious, it's probably be best to ban it. >> but at the end of the day, i think it's down to the owner, whether it's whether the temperament of the dog. >> absolutely. yes. yes. >> absolutely. yes. yes. >> without even about >> without even thinking about it. yes. it. yes yes. >> this isn't something that's just happened today. it's been going on for a long time. >> and it's about time something was done. well no, to be honest, my opinion is like a lot of people today, they should be banned. >> i have of a bully cross .

>> i have of a bully cross. >> i have of a bully cross. >> all right. it's crossed with a great dane. >> so it's got absolute no brain cells. but the most loving, sweetest dog you could ever meet. and it is purely the training of them . training of them. >> i'm assuming the great dane was the father. otherwise, that's a logistical nightmare , that's a logistical nightmare, wouldn't it? a step ladder. i can now speak with margarita zhukova, who is a spokesperson for the people for the ethical treatment of animals at peta. as it is more commonly known. thank you very much for joining me. great to have you on the show. so should we ban bullies? well hi, patrick. >> thank you so much for having me on the show tonight. and yes, of course, banning the breeding of course, banning the breeding of bullies is a very, very meaningful to meaningful step forward to protect the public, but also to protect the public, but also to protect this really vulnerable dogs as all have to remember dogs as we all have to remember that bully breeds like bully excel, american bulldogs, they have been intentionally bred by humans to fight and historic . humans to fight and historic. they were used to fight really large mammals like, you know ,

large mammals like, you know, bears. and you and bulls and to these dogs, we've bred these dogs to deliberately have really strong jaws, really muscle colour body and very , very, very colour body and very, very, very high prey drive . so this is why, high prey drive. so this is why, sadly the we are hearing so many stories of attacks because the rspca don't think we should ban them. >> so peter and the rspca, spca are at loggerheads now, you know, to kind of animal rights groups are kicking off about xl bullies, which kind of sums up where nations are. i think. where the nations are. i think. so you definitely blame the dog, not owner . not the owner. >> well , of course, it's a >> well, of course, it's a complex issue when dog attack happens and of course, irresponsible ownership owners can be a part of it. but, you know, one cannot deny that we've deliberately bred this really, really strong dogs. and because of their look , because of their of their look, because of their look, many dogs and criminals, they just choose this breeds as their, you know, guard dogs as this sort of macho symbol. and

that's why they're so likely to be abused and to be chained, to be abused and to be chained, to be beaten , not to be socialised be beaten, not to be socialised properly , to be caged. and you properly, to be caged. and you know, you can't predict, like how how a dog like this would behave. and also, that's why so many bullies are being abandoned and our shelters are full. >> so just to just to clarify . >> so just to just to clarify. yeah, just to clarify on something then. so obviously, peter, you know , animal rights, peter, you know, animal rights, the ethical treatment of animals, all of that stuff, if the diktat comes down to us now that we're going to start putting bullies down, we're going to euthanize american bullies. where would peter be on that ? that? >> well , of course, we want to >> well, of course, we want to focus on banning the breeding of these dogs and existing bullies. if they're in good homes , if if they're in good homes, if there is no track record of any aggressive behaviour, of course they should keep their homes. and we need to amend this piece of legislation just to be sure

that, you know, dogs in good homes can remain there and also shelters that have bullies , if shelters that have bullies, if you know, if they are adoptable and if they screen properly. humans who want to adopt such dogs, they should be allowed to dogs, they should be allowed to do that. and what we really, really need to do is to spay and neuter all the existing dogs. we need to be concerned. >> , well, why why i'd be >> yeah, well, why why i'd be concerned about is , is that now concerned about is, is that now it's the xl bullies. i mean i, i wonder. i do wonder if their name doesn't help a little bit as well to be fair. i mean the fact that also they have killed a couple of people certainly doesn't help either. but i don't i don't think the name helps them. you know, it's xl bullies. now, about there was now, what about there was something like 22,000 odd incidents last year of dogs out of control dog attacks, issues like that. so we get rid of the xl bullies and then let's say we have like four incidents in a week, ran lee of staffordshire bull terriers is doing something do we then do we then ban

scottish tory msp liam kerr, the first minister wrote a letter on the 29th of august that stated he didn't intended to say per caphain he didn't intended to say per capita in his original answer. right. okay look, there's quite a lot of people out there at the moment who feel as though politicians are becoming increasing inclined to massage figures, cherry pick data , even figures, cherry pick data, even in some cases pay for the kind of data they actually want in order to push a eco friendly agenda.i order to push a eco friendly agenda . i guess being a agenda. i guess being a political commentator and former snp member stuart crawford . snp member stuart crawford. stuart, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. what do you make of this then? do you think that the humza yousaf is falling into the category politician who category of politician who appears increasingly to appears increasingly likely to lie about the environment lie to us about the environment in order to get what they want? >> hello again, patrick. well i wouldn't go so far as to say that humza yusuf has lied to the public. >> i think that we should maybe give him the benefit of the doubt and just say that he was poorly briefed.

>> but when he came up with the figure of 26, because it's patently obvious that that is a is a nonsense figure, i think the mistake that has been made is that rather than say, i got this one wrong and the real figure is whatever it is, i then instructed of civil servants who are meant to be impartial people in delivering a government programme , aim to find a way of programme, aim to find a way of massage , judging his statement massage, judging his statement so that he could present it as the truth. do you think look, is there is there an argument to say that, you know, humza yousaf is an absolute grifter for. >> well, i think he's i think he's inept and incompetent and i don't know if he's clever enough to be a grifter, to be perfectly honest with you, patrick. >> i think that he is a rabbit caughtin >> i think that he is a rabbit caught in the headlights, the continuity candidate, the one that was picked as a safe option after nicola sturgeon was forced to resign and he's just not up to resign and he's just not up to the job, which i think clearly comes out in this latest

parliamentary exchange . parliamentary exchange. >> i mean, you know, he wasn't really on top of the facts over nicola sturgeon whether or not he's made himself on top of the facts. nicola sturgeon or has been fired, advised to deliberately not know all of the facts about that. would facts about that. that would be interesting say, interesting to see once say, recent, you know, film smirking as booed the national as scots booed the national anthem and he went on that anthem. and then he went on that big , didn't about all big tirade, didn't he, about all these people in positions of power and authority being white? i mean, it's quite ironic now, given position he's given the position that he's in, is he bit of a nasty piece of is he a bit of a nasty piece of work, do you think? >> um, i think just >> um, i think he's just actually a bit pathetic and lacks self—confidence because i don't think anyone with with half a an ounce of common sense would commend the booing of the national anthem, whether you like it or not. i think one has to be respectful . and i think to be respectful. and i think the race card is being played far too much by our current first minister at the moment. in fact, i don't even, you know, one shouldn't really consider

race at all. he's a man in a position of power and he should be judged purely on his competence in filling that post. >> well, let's do that a little bit then. so so on this particular issue, suppose he not being on top of his brief about renewables and all of that, i mean, there is a bit of a tendency at the moment. i mean, sadiq khan in london stands accused really of paying around £800,000 to get a study done that appeared to back up ulez, then getting that peer reviewed by a bloke who reports he was on the payroll at city hall as well. and then rolling ulez out people saying that it's actually just tax. it's not just a stealth tax. it's not actually about clean air, actually really about clean air, which of course he completely denies . is which of course he completely denies. is there something going on north of the border there as well, do you think, with humza yousaf? well yeah. >> i mean, yes. i mean, the ulez in glasgow has yet to hit the heights of infamy that the program in london is hitting at the moment . the moment. >> but there is a there is a

tendency amongst politicians to seek out the information that suits their case and then present that as the absolute truth, when of course , the truth, when of course, the absolute truth is never is, it never absolute. is it a bit student politics with humza do you think this is what i'm trying to figure out? >> you know, is fallen, is fallen upwards, hasn't he really? i just wonder, is it really? and i just wonder, is it is it a bit student politic with him? i think so. >> i mean, you're absolutely right. he been unsuccessful, right. he has been unsuccessful, if put that way. in if i can put it that way. in every minister surreal appointment that he has had to date and he has been promoted upwards out of all of them to the position of first minister, where he was the sort of anointed candidate of nicola sturgeon and her cabal. and i don't think he'll be around for too much longer because he's just inept . just inept. >> and it will be interesting to see how much longer. thank you very, very much. it's great to have you on the show. stuart crawford there's a former snp member his on member just giving his views on on yousaf. you've got on humza yousaf. you've got

plenty to come. plenty more still to come. there's exclusive news there's an exclusive gb news people's that's revealed. people's poll that's revealed. 62% of people that crime 62% of people think that crime in is increasing . do we in the uk is increasing. do we need sentences for need tougher sentences for shoplifters ? that's what i want shoplifters? that's what i want to know. patrick christys. gb news business

on gb news, the people's . channel now for our very own gb news crime poll which has revealed 62% of you think that crime is

increasing . increasing. >> where are the other way ? >> where are the other way? where are the other people? that's what i want to know anyway. 62% of you think crime is increasing. when asked how much confidence they have in the police with crime in police to deal with crime in britain, those surveyed britain, 60% of those surveyed said they either didn't have much confidence they had no much confidence or they had no confidence all. and when they confidence at all. and when they were asked the police should were asked if the police should adopt tolerance approach adopt a zero tolerance approach to shoplifters by to dealing with shoplifters by investigating every single crime, 65% either completely agreed or somewhat agreed . agreed or somewhat agreed. agreed. okay. so those are the stats there . i might only shock, stats there. i might only shock, i think. is that more people didn't think that crime was increasing, but i'm going to speak now with former met police detective chief inspector mike neville. very, neville. mike, thank you very, very . what is a zero very much. what is a zero tolerance approach to shoplifting? i mean , do we do we shoplifting? i mean, do we do we bang them all up ? well i think bang them all up? well i think it's i think a start would be patrick to arrest them . patrick to arrest them. >> this all goes back to theresa may as she reduced the

punishment if it was under £200, then it became a sort of summary only offence and you got to sort of equivalent of a park ticket. and this is why the police sort of backed away from dealing with it and shoplifters. well know that they can steal lots of £200 in a day and we're not talking about people here who are desperate for food. these are organised gangs. who are you know, targeting high value goods, which they can then sell very quickly. >> i've seen it happen. i've seen it happen. i was on a high street a couple of months ago and i was there and i walked in. i heard an absolute clatter behind me. and someone has just walked quick as flash walked walked quick as a flash walked in open rucksack. so swooped a load of cosmetic goods. i mean, the value of that must have been very, very high in a rucksack out dooh very, very high in a rucksack out door, off. done. out the door, off. done. finished. i mean, no chance of them caught, you know? them getting caught, you know? and just shows you the way and it just shows you the way that people at the moment. that people are at the moment. one of the fears of that, of

course, that they think that course, is that they think that the won't there to the police won't be there to actually catch them. and i think there some there's some truth there is some there's some truth to isn't there? to that, isn't there? >> absolutely. >> the absolutely. >> the absolutely. >> saw the terrible >> and we saw the terrible goings on in peckham where the shopkeepeh goings on in peckham where the shopkeeper, rightly shopkeeper, you know, rightly or wrongly, stop the woman wrongly, tried to stop the woman from stealing. it up from stealing. and it ends up in a old massive demonstration. a big old massive demonstration. and where people really feel that they're entitled to steal. >> so they're to going the shop. >> so they're to going the shop. >> they've done it ten times. so then somebody tries to stop them and then it turns into a robbery because use violence. and because they use violence. and so guards at risk. the so security guards at risk. the shopkeepers are at risk. >> and in the way is at >> and anybody in the way is at risk. >> and so it is it's this entitlement they feel is just out of control. and what it does , it leads to almost anarchy, where people feel they can do what they want. and if i can steal from shops and i can steal from a house or steal from a car, it's got to be cracked down oi'i. >> on. >> but an arrest, a start, an arrest in these people would be arrest in these people would be a point. a start point. >> yeah, absolutely. and i know, by matt, this is not by the way, matt, this is not necessarily what were

necessarily what you were alluding to, just to alluding to, but just to be safe, want to emphasise that safe, we want to emphasise that the lady involved in the peckham incident charged, incident has not been charged, as as aware, with as far as we're aware, with shoplifting, but shoplifting, etcetera. but that's way now. people that's out the way now. people using violent tactics in using more violent tactics in shoplifting. is this the other thing? as low thing? people view it as a low level crime. sometimes they'll view victim less crime. view it as a victim less crime. if someone wanders into a big company like tesco's, you multi billion multi—million pound company and you nick a bit of food who who's the victim there but actually if you wander in and you've got a knife and you wave it in a in a security guard's face, then there's a victim there. if you go into a corner shop, there's not a big corporation in and you nick 100 quid's worth of goods that's impacting them. this not impacting them. should this not be a low level crime? be viewed as a low level crime? and the level of and what is the level of violence like now? >> i say , the key thing >> well, as i say, the key thing is that that people when they what is they'll go in what they do is they'll go in with a bag and steal absolutely tonnes of stuff. >> if you keep getting away >> and if you keep getting away with things, you just feel that you do and this is where with things, you just feel that you violence and this is where with things, you just feel that you violence starts. this is where the violence starts. >> it's a people start

>> and it's a people start pulling knives. >> we've had cases people >> we've had cases where people have with dirty have been threatened with dirty needles like it's not a needles and it like it's not a victimless crime because one, we all pay for it but if you're a shopkeepeh all pay for it but if you're a shopkeeper, £100 goes out of the shop, that's a day's takings. and if you steal from tesco's or the like, well , then the prices the like, well, then the prices go we all pay for it. go up and we all pay for it. >> and at some point the police's is to deal with police's job is to deal with crime. now, what surprises me as well that the home secretary well is that the home secretary , in my view, is sending the right messages , get on and deal right messages, get on and deal with crime. but the some senior officers seemingly but, know officers seemingly but, you know , so what happens? >> you know, what happens sajid javid but i think you've had a really important point, which is that if people feel as 60 odd % that if people feel as 60 odd% of our poll appear to just people as crime is people feel as though crime is on rise and people then on the rise and people then don't confidence that don't have the confidence that the police will do anything about it. you do end up with situations like you got in peckham, which is a shopkeeper shopper feeling like they maybe have to deal with things themselves and that is when we

end up with situations of people getting seriously hurt. when you end up with riots outside, etcetera. if the public perception is this crime isn't going to get solved by a copper. so going to deal with it so i'm going to deal with it myself. you know, people die that way. >> absolutely . i mean, if >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, if you look at burglary and the like, the only reason that people report burglary people report a burglary these days they need days is because they need a crime reference to to crime reference number to go to the insurance. don't report the insurance. they don't report it in the hope that the police will capture the villain and bnng will capture the villain and bring stuff back. but what bring their stuff back. but what i earlier, i was alluding to earlier, patrick, noise made patrick, is the noise is made by senior police officers. patrick, is the noise is made by senyou've ce officers. patrick, is the noise is made by senyou've got yfficers. patrick, is the noise is made by senyou've got thezrs. patrick, is the noise is made by senyou've got the essex chief >> you've got the essex chief constable saying the raid on the pub, he would have done it again when charges being when there's no charges being made you've got the head of made and you've got the head of the superintendents association saying, should be woken saying, well, we should be woken and let's all support pride and stuff like that. >> when they're absolutely in defiance of the home secretary. you know, the police used to be filled with army guys like me. you know, you get your orders and to a point you do as and up to a point you do as you're no they seem to be you're told. no they seem to be telling secretary, we telling the home secretary, we completely disagree. we're

following very liberal following a very left liberal agenda you can clear off, to agenda and you can clear off, to be honest. and it it's simply not because think not good enough, because i think the is expressing the home secretary is expressing the home secretary is expressing the public mood that more needs to be done about crime. >> exact . and with suella >> yeah, exact. and with suella braverman, know , she's braverman, you know, she's somebody was prepared to somebody who was prepared to stand up in the house of commons and what's cool? what's and say what's cool? what's going and going on in the channel and invasion. she's weathered that storm know she's storm now, you know she's somebody who standing up and somebody who is standing up and saying police have got do saying the police have got to do this, that other this, that and the other job. you and lot of people you know, and a lot of people that slater, would you rather have who least comes have someone who at least comes up a spade a spade or up and calls a spade a spade or somebody who , you know, thinks somebody who, you know, thinks that we should take the knee in front of a load of people? i'm personally i know which one i'd rather or rather go for, whether or not she's powerless to she's actually powerless to do all things that she wants all of the things that she wants because an army of civil because there's an army of civil servants behind her. there's you know, moving processes. servants behind her. there's you know, managersg processes. servants behind her. there's you know, managers inyrocesses. servants behind her. there's you know, managers in theesses. servants behind her. there's you know, managers in the police servants behind her. there's you know and anagers in the police servants behind her. there's you know and all gers in the police servants behind her. there's you know and all ofrs in the police servants behind her. there's you know and all of that the police servants behind her. there's you know and all of that stuff olice servants behind her. there's you know and all of that stuff .lice force and all of that stuff. but i want someone who at least comes public and talks comes out in public and talks a decent game. it would be nice to see more action. but mike, see a bit more action. but mike, thank very much. we're going
