our actually a viable our evs actually a viable solution. well, i'm joined now by lois perry, director of cop26 , and jim dale, senior meteorite ologist. i'm going to start with you, lois . 9 billion, this you, lois. 9 billion, this wonderful panacea , an electric wonderful panacea, an electric car lost duty. yeah well, this hasn't been thought through . hasn't been thought through. >> or has it been thought through? >> and the ultimate aim is number one. in the first instance, the electric cars will not be exempt. almost probably straight away. so they'll be taxing those vehicles in the same way that there have been petrol and diesel and also it depends what what you think the solution the solution that solution is. the solution that the want is that the civil service want is that ultimately we are all out of our cars. so actually they don't really care about the loss of revenues because they'll just find other ways to tax us by stealth in other places, like, for example, putting fines on the boiler boiler companies for not producing the right amount of even though nobody of heat pumps even though nobody wants doing a by wants them, and then doing a by stealth boiler tax, which is what's at the moment. what's happening at the moment. and announced. so
3:25 pm
and hasn't been announced. so you know, they'll always make money elsewhere . but you know, money elsewhere. but you know, this about getting people and this is about getting people and i every time i on i say this every time i come on getting out of their getting people out of their cars, nothing to do with being greener. it's about keeping us at home in our little boxes, looking at screens. >> well, we're in little box. we're i'm we're looking at screens. i'm looking jim. dale, what we're looking at screens. i'm lo youri jim. dale, what we're looking at screens. i'm lo your response im. dale, what we're looking at screens. i'm lo your response to. dale, what we're looking at screens. i'm lo your response to lois e, what we're looking at screens. i'm lo your response to lois ? what is your response to lois? >> and my response to the lois and to the daily mail? >> i think this this this is reported in the daily mail, which usually purports to go for lower taxes. this is all about lower taxes. this is all about lower taxes. this is all about lower taxes. remember, this is this is taxes not going to the government . and i thought they government. and i thought they were in in in favour of all of this. so there's three things here. lower for the here. lower taxes for the population, climate population, lower climate changing gases. and less air pollutants. so there's a there's a three strikes here that that to me sound very appealing indeed.i to me sound very appealing indeed. i don't i don't see a problem with the first one. anneliese doing what they're doing. >> so what was your first one? lower taxes. >> lower taxes . essentially you >> lower taxes. essentially you don't pay taxes on electric cars
3:26 pm
going forward. so lower taxes. >> and what was the second one? lower taxes, lower , lower. lower taxes, lower, lower. >> climate changing gases. in other words, fewer polluting cars and less air pollutants. in terms of the climate change side of things. >> so it seems that taxes have been going up, isn't it, for this, lois? >> but most jim , the >> but most people, jim, the vast majority of people will not be able to afford an electric car. so i'm so sorry. i don't understand your reasoning there. how it lower taxes if people how is it lower taxes if people can't afford an electric car? because as i say, the vast majority won't be able to and they haven't got a driveway to charge. let jim answer that. >> okay. >> jim. yeah, okay. >> jim. yeah, okay. >> the answer is this an >> so the answer is this is an evolving thing. so in the last three years, the sales of electric worldwide electric cars worldwide have gone from 5% to 15% of all cars. so that's the first thing to say. this is this is in one direction. yes this will take time. there's affordable time. and there's an affordable pity time. and there's an affordable pity scenario. there but bit by bit, just like any any advanced point that we make in society ,
3:27 pm
point that we make in society, um, you know, people will be able to afford the whole. >> okay, so you admit the government side, jim so you're admitting that it's going to be quite costly so that, that sort of flies in face of what you of flies in the face of what you said, but, but, but lower taxes. you lower emission you also said lower emission means. lois. he said lower emissions. >> yeah. isn't lower >> yeah. well, it isn't lower emissions because what will happen that, you know, for happen is that, you know, for example, making electric vehicle we know is actually higher we now know is actually higher c02 we now know is actually higher co2 emissions. if that's your bag, then actually producing petrol and diesel vehicles, that's actually, you know, all the major car manufacturers said it can take up to eight years for it to become co2 neutral . for it to become co2 neutral. but, you know, the whole thing doesn't doesn't make any sense because you're talking about the poorest in society. white van man , all of these people not man, all of these people not being able to get around and you're saying that that's a good thing? >> no, he said it would take time. is that what you said? >> i see plenty of white van van electrics nowadays and by the way, the poorest people don't
3:28 pm
have cars. let's make this absolutely clear. you're not supporting charge? supporting with you in charge? >> certainly won't. >> no, they certainly won't. >> no, they certainly won't. >> do have >> those people do not have cars. and so you're not actually supporting shape or supporting them in any shape or form. think people should form. do you think people should be drive? form. do you think people should be you drive? form. do you think people should be you think�* form. do you think people should be you think people should >> do you think people should have the right to be able to drive? or do you think that ultimately people should be walking transport? walking using public transport? >> a choice and if >> there is a choice and if pubuc >> there is a choice and if public transport was was in the right place, i think more people would use it. london's a very good example of people using pubuc good example of people using public transport in en masse. i think that's becoming more and more. i think it's a desire able thing. not taking away thing. it's not taking away choice will always have choice. people will always have the they can afford the choice if they can afford it. the whole that we're talking the choice if they can afford it. theisrhole that we're talking the choice if they can afford it. theis a)le that we're talking the choice if they can afford it. theis a hole|at we're talking the choice if they can afford it. theis a hole in we're talking the choice if they can afford it. theis a hole in there talking the choice if they can afford it. theis a hole in the exchequer about is a hole in the exchequer . and is why i have a . and this is why i have a problem mail problem with the daily mail because i forever because as i said, forever they've lower taxes, they've been saying lower taxes, lower . suddenly we're lower taxes. suddenly we're getting going into getting lower taxes going into the exchequer and the morning you're they've been you're saying they've been saying taxes for what? saying lower taxes for what? >> sorry. taxes for what? >> sorry. lower taxes for what? i think they've i don't think they've been saying i don't think they've been say lower taxes. well the hole is >> lower taxes. well the hole is the chequers. oh you said 9 billion. let me give you another
3:29 pm
figure. >> no, no. but you said the daily mail have been saying lower taxes. i'm just correcting you. that in you. i've never read that in there. been saying that you. i've never read that in therwill been saying that you. i've never read that in therwill bring been saying that you. i've never read that in therwill bring in en saying that you. i've never read that in therwill bring in lower'ing that you. i've never read that in therwill bring in lower taxes. at this will bring in lower taxes. >> mean, their >> no, no, no. i mean, their whole stand is for lower taxes, for lower , lower. for the for the lower, lower. >> lower taxes , take. >> you want lower taxes, take. well well, i think most people want lower taxes . but if you've want lower taxes. but if you've got more people working, then you take. so if you get higher tax take. so if you're you can have low rate you're you can have a low rate of you can a of tax, but you can have a higher take. you've got higher tax take. if you've got a growing economy. so that that was the sort liz truss was the sort of liz truss vision. but anyway, let's vision. yeah, but anyway, let's move billion then move on to the 9 billion then with this electric revolution, because that's hole because jim that's a big hole and that's going have to be and that's going to have to be filled do filled in your view, where do you going? you see them going? >> okay. so let me let me give you one little just one you one little one, just one small so in the first small example. so in the first three year, going three months of this year, going back we had one back a little bit, we had one oil bp, who made 5 oil company, bp, who made 5 billion profit, not turnover, profit, 5 billion. that's one. okay. so if you're looking for bolt holes where we might be able to take some of that back then , the oil companies, the
3:30 pm
then, the oil companies, the fossil fuel companies are exactly that untouched. so far that they're profitable . that they're profitable. >> sorry, can i can i just briefly, the reason that they're profitable is because they actually make money rather than receive government subsidies , receive government subsidies, which all of the renewables need , massive government subsidies . , massive government subsidies. they're profitable because they actually work and because they actually work and because they actually keep the british economy going. all right. >> can i give jim dale, you've got 10s to reply then i've got to move on for the. >> yeah, so in that case, they're profitable. absolutely let's take let's take some of that away them that profit away from them to solve problems that solve all the problems that we've about in we've just been talked about in terms in terms of terms of tax, in terms of emissions, in terms of climate change particularly change and particularly what's going and going on around the world. and we've in absolute we've seen that in absolute stark in derna, in libya stark terms in derna, in libya this week. >> well, okay, thank you very much for that, jim dale. good to talk to you. he's a senior meteorologist and also lois perry, director of 26. thank perry, director of car 26. thank you much. you're with perry, director of car 26. thank you i'mnuch. you're with perry, director of car 26. thank you i'mnuch. akua.!ou're with perry, director of car 26. thank you i'mnuch. akua. this; with perry, director of car 26. thank you i'mnuch. akua. this is/ith perry, director of car 26. thank you i'mnuch. akua. this is gb me. i'm nana akua. this is gb news online. and on news on tv online. and on digital the way this digital radio on the way this week's political spotlight, former leader bolton former ukip leader henry bolton

3:40 pm
issues is former ukip leader henry bolton and despite an election not yet even having been called sir keir starmer has this week was this week travelling around the world as if he already held the keys to number 10. third, he travelled to hague, revealed to the hague, where he revealed labour will pledge to tackle the criminal responsible criminal gangs responsible for smuggling. offered to make to smuggling. he offered to make to take on more eu migrants in exchange for a new border deal with brussels. they anneliese off to france this week to meet emmanuel in order to test emmanuel macron in order to test the waters with france , with the the waters with france, with the aim of protecting the strategic nature of their relationship. regardless of who is in charge after next election. on. after the next election. on. well, delighted to say well, i'm delighted to say that henry me to henry bolton joins me now to discuss everything . sir keir discuss everything. sir keir starmer to whether starmer has been up to whether it's migrant plan , it's his latest migrant plan, which i know about, that which i don't know about, that one, or it's his sort of jet setting around the world. what do think? what you think do you think? what do you think is here? because is going on here? because he's pretty this. pretty much u—turning on this. the thing his the most recent thing was his votes that he was talking about giving to people who live in the eu are british. but then he
3:41 pm
eu that are british. but then he decided he's not going to decided that he's not going to do that. no, i know. >> he keeps flip flopping on >> and he keeps flip flopping on various think what's various things. i think what's happened think know happened is i think we all know that doesn't have that labour doesn't really have any problems any solutions for the problems that accusing the that they've been accusing the conservative of creating . conservative party of creating. and i think when it comes to the next election, an next election, this is an election going be lost election that's going to be lost by conservative rather by the conservative party rather than by the party. than won by the labour party. but what keir starmer has been under increasing pressure both from within his party and from outside and from the media. >> what are your solutions ? what >> what are your solutions? what would do? would you actually do? >> i think why we've >> so i think that's why we've seen this. >> knows big thing and >> he knows it's a big thing and that's why we've got this plan. now. i have no problem with him coming with a plan for coming up with a plan for addressing of migration addressing the rate of migration across the channel and the asylum seeker issue. >> we all know it's a big problem. it needs to be dealt with by the government and it's not at the moment. >> conservatives. >> and the conservatives. >> and the conservatives. >> so he's come up with, >> so what he's come up with, first some first of all, there's some confusion first confusion here because first of all, we were we were led to believe that this was about joint earning, asylum joint earning, the eu's asylum sharing scheme, whereby
3:42 pm
primarily those those asylum seekers who land in greece and italy coming across the mediterranean are then distributed across the eu. member states . well, hungary member states. well, hungary has said member states. well, hungary has saiipoland is holding >> poland is holding a referendum with the intention of saying germany is saying no. saying no. germany is saying no. >> the whole scheme is falling apart because there are simply too many and the scheme is what we would take on levels of migrants or what is what the scheme is. >> that proportion proportionately to yours , a proportionately to yours, a combination of your gdp , the combination of your gdp, the economic strength of your country and your population. >> and what about your size as well, the size of there is a bit of population density and i couldn't tell you the precise formula , but we would take formula, but we would take around about 13% of those . around about 13% of those. >> at the moment it's around about 126,000 people. so far that have arrived this year. that's not counting the people that have arrived before that in the european union from across the european union from across the mediterranean. >> and the numbers could be as high as 180, but probably nearer 100 to 120,000. >> but the significant numbers
3:43 pm
and whatever it would mean, more asylum seekers coming to the united kingdom than we've got at the moment. that's that's a fact. >> however , you you fiddle the >> however, you you fiddle the figures, but but the reality is that it's a scheme that's not working. >> then on we've got yvette cooper shadow home secretary who has now said , no, that's not has now said, no, that's not going to happen. >> that was never the plan. >> that was never the plan. >> the plan is that we're going to with europol to and in to work with europol to and in partnership europol to deal partnership with europol to deal with problems. but what with these problems. but what she realise. shadow home she doesn't realise. shadow home secretary, can't join secretary, you can't join europol not an eu europol if you're not an eu member state. you can have a cooperation agreement on data exchanging, but not on coordinating operational activity. >> so the whole thing has been badly thought through from the beginning and i think this is going to end up with keir starmer having a lot of egg on his face already has. >> and as i say, this is not an election that we're going to head towards with labour winning on policies like this. it's the conservatives who are to conservatives who are going to
3:44 pm
be it's a badly be losing it. so it's a badly thought through incompletely thought through incompletely thought through incompletely thought through idea . thought through idea. >> so what do you make of him jet setting so he's he's been to the hague he's talking coming up to see macron and all this i know he's trying to obviously appear but with appear statesmanlike but with all the back—pedalling that he's been doing, it's just getting a bit silly. i i think the leaders he's actually going to see primarily we are after this because he's going to see justin trudeau and others. >> the more left wing, left leaning and centrist leaders. many of the people he's going to be meeting are have been left left wing leaders . and the left left wing leaders. and the left is under pressure everywhere across europe and north america. apart from here, because of the failures of the conservative party. but i think what he's doing is twofold, is he's demonstrating a statesman like sort of approach to his party and his followers to give them confidence in the run up to the election campaign. but i think he's trying to get ideas . i he's also trying to get ideas. i don't think he's going to
3:45 pm
succeed with macron if he can if he could pull some sort of agreement out of the hat with macron, then he would present that in the uk. macron, then he would present that in the uk . look, macron, then he would present that in the uk. look, i macron, then he would present that in the uk . look, i can get that in the uk. look, i can get a deal. but but the conservative government can't . but then it's government can't. but then it's all in the fine print. he'll give. he'll, he will make whatever concessions he needs to get to be able to come back. rather like chamberlain peace in our time type of note my final point on that is that i really believe that this is driven by his his personal belief that we should never have left the european union . and the closer european union. and the closer he can get to these people, he's got no qualms about doing that in order to make political mileage here in the uk. and i think that is dishonest. he needs to be frank and upfront about that. >> to the british people, they won't let it go. i mean, some people who voted remain won't people who voted to remain won't let and it does feel that let it go. and it does feel that they're hindering they're actually hindering a progress could progress that the brexit could actually bring. >> the two things sort of >> the two things are sort of combined actually
3:46 pm
combined nana because actually they're they're internationalists, they're universalists , they don't they universalists, they don't they believe everybody is equal. everybody should be treated the same. we shouldn't have nation states, shouldn't states, therefore we shouldn't have therefore they have borders. therefore they want them open. now want to throw them open. now that's sort crude that's a fairly sort of crude summing the situation . but summing up of the situation. but there in labour there are people in the labour party the political labour party, in the political labour party, in the political labour party , in the parliamentary party, in the parliamentary labour included , who labour party included, who believe and i think believe in that, and i think starmer to extent starmer does to an extent as well. >> e’- e about rwanda well. >> about rwanda though? >> so what about rwanda though? because sounds because keir starmer, it sounds like his party is saying that rwanda to going what rwanda is not to going be what they're do. they're they're going to do. they're going with this interpol they're going to do. they're goingof with this interpol they're going to do. they're goingof connectiveiis interpol they're going to do. they're goingof connective borderrpol they're going to do. they're goingof connective border force type of connective border force type of connective border force type that stop the type thing that will stop the migrants. i've been reading migrants. but i've been reading a and people a lot about it and most people who involved in that who are involved in that particular element who are involved in that particularelement policy particular element of policy have that you need a rwanda have said that you need a rwanda style deterrent and even other european countries are looking at it, and rwanda is actually quite nice place be honest quite a nice place to be honest . so him outlawing it, he i think in his head he thinks that once he's stopped the smugglers, that stop everything. but that will stop everything. but i'm not that's not quite quite right, is it? no, it's not. >> look, there's three things
3:47 pm
that he any government it needs, any party with credible policy any party with a credible policy needs to address the pull factors . why do people want to factors. why do people want to come here? the push factors. why do they leave place that do they leave the place that they're is they're leaving? and thirdly is , is what happens in the middle? the movement itself, is the movement itself, who is facilitate thing? how are the logistics provided ? where's the logistics provided? where's the funding everything else funding and everything else coming of that. coming from? and a lot of that. that's organised crime that's the organised crime element. europol has failed and frontex, if you like, the frontex, the if you like, the frontier agency of the european union has failed to address that problem already on their own. what's keir starmer bringing to the table to help that nothing. and in fact the labour party that killed off the uk's program to do that in conjunction bizarrely, although it was the european region with the canadians, the australians and the new zealanders, that's very rwanda. well, not rwanda. i'll come to rwanda in stopping the organised crime element and we were operationally kicking in doors working with intelligence and law enforcement that are outside european union in
3:48 pm
outside the european union in order to stop up this flow coming to the eu. and i was going back sort of 20, 15, 20 years now, but it was highly effective until tony blair pulled the funding from it in 2006 and the whole thing collapsed . uh, now that's what's collapsed. uh, now that's what's needed now . yes. needed now. yes. >> tony blair once again . indeed. >> but rwanda, look, we need the deterrent. i wouldn't take anything off the table at this stage. it is unwise , wise to do stage. it is unwise, wise to do so. he is trying to gain the votes of people who are the sort of human rights activists and so on. on the left of british politics who are out of principle, opposed to this because they don't want to see something like that actually work. but it's slightly he's trying it's slightly racist. >> to simon danczuk and >> i spoke to simon danczuk and his wife is from rwanda. they got married recently in rwanda . got married recently in rwanda. and he was saying that actually the people of rwanda are slightly insulted by the sort of rhetoric that's coming out of this country because it is denigrating rwanda making denigrating rwanda and making rwanda awful place to be rwanda seem an awful place to be when it its history . but
3:49 pm
when it has its history. but everyone history. everyone has their history. we've history. the we've had our history. the germans have had their history for sake, know, for goodness sake, you know, so we've and we all we've all had history and we all try move and move try and move forward and move on. sort of victims on. we cannot be sort of victims of past constantly. of our past constantly. >> indeed. as say, there >> indeed. and as you say, there are particularly the danes are looking closely at these looking very closely at these sort of models to try and address the problem provide address the problem and provide that effect and that deterrent effect and in a sense, outsource . and if another sense, outsource. and if another country is willing to do it outside, outsource the asylum process, somebody process, and if somebody is really for their life, really fleeing for their life, why wouldn't they want to go to a peaceful country that's actually prepared to support them, like rwanda in this them, like rwanda is in this case? and the legal argument against is not that against rwanda is not that rwanda itself a problem, but rwanda is itself a problem, but that if rwanda does turn down an asylum claim, then they'll send them maybe to a country that they shouldn't. well, that's second guessing. the judicial of a country that we've already said is deliberately obstructive, isn't it? >> that's deliberate . >> that's deliberate. >> that's deliberate. >> and that's back to the european sir keir starmer very finally, keir starmer finally, sir keir starmer said that like people that he doesn't like people calling i will call calling him sir, so i will call

4:05 pm
straight back to nana. >> thank you, ray. right it's just coming up to six minutes after 4:00. this is gb news. we're live on tv, online and on digital radio. i'm nana akua . i digital radio. i'm nana akua. i like to call this one is because i'm black. so this woman, she goes into a hair shop in peckham. now we cannot speculate as to what is actually happening, but let me play you the video and i will say what i see for the benefit of those on the radio. so listen, the woman appears to want to leave the store with and the store with goods and the shopkeeper attempting to shopkeeper is attempting to initially and stop initially gently try and stop her. you can just see that there now happens as well. now then this happens as well. look, look, look , look, look. look, look, look, look, look. >> you can't . >> you can't. »- >> you can't. >> i'm going to call the police . i'm going to call the police. thank thank you for calling . thank thank you for calling. >> recording caller, please, please , please , please, please , please. >> this is. this is babe, i'm calling the police. >> babe, this man put his net on
4:06 pm
me . me. >> this boy, this man and this man just now. >> i don't condone any level of violence, but she's just smacked him over the head with a basket. he then puts his arms around her neck and eventually holds her arms behind her back to restrain her. now, i don't agree with violence on any level in particular for placing your hands around someone's neck, but as he gives up on his restraint and then she pursues him with the handle of the basket repeatedly striking him, other shoppers then chip in to restrain her. they are shoppers of all colours as now we can't speculate as to why all this is happening, but it resulted with black lives matter jumping happening, but it resulted with black lives matterjumping on black lives matter jumping on the bandwagon and protesters calling for this a new ecosystem, our own ecosystem where we spend money in our stores so they cannot treat us this way. >> come on, jesus. these are our streets . streets. >> now, i don't know about you, but if reports are to be
4:07 pm
believed, whilst i don't condone any violence on any level, it would be difficult to come to the conclusion lady the conclusion that this lady was manner only was treated in this manner only because was i mean, because she was black. i mean, it looks me like she's taking it looks to me like she's taking things the store now, but things from the store now, but being racist in response and demanding a self—imposed apartheid doesn't solve anything. the store has since stayed shut as a result. now, i'm not saying that his behaviour was acceptable from either party or that racism doesn't exist. i mean only a few weeks ago i was followed around by a security guard in a store . by a security guard in a store. he was so close to me that in the end i turned around to him and said, what are ? maybe i look and said, what are? maybe i look dodgy?i and said, what are? maybe i look dodgy? i wasn't dressed up like this or wearing my wig , but i this or wearing my wig, but i wasn't actually doing anything . wasn't actually doing anything. he's only explained that people keep taking stuff and he pointed to some small, easily pocketable cosmetics nearby. so i suggested he give up on me then and try and catch some real thieves. what it was that drew him to me. i can only speculate, but to say that this incident in peckham
4:08 pm
was because the lady was black ignores what she was actually doing. you don't get privilege for being black. that's hardly equal equity. and then even to say that his level of aggression was worse towards her because of the colour of her skin is something that there is no way of knowing. i mean, she was clumping him on the head with a basket. i mean , but what we do basket. i mean, but what we do know is that the shopkeeper is trying to prevent her from leaving the store with his goods . and if reports are to be believed , he's trying to stop believed, he's trying to stop her goods that she her from taking goods that she hasn't and this guy is hasn't paid for. and this guy is clearly so frustrated because he knows the police won't be bothered. they've practically legalised theft. and as i said before, that doesn't make his actions acceptable. but if we are going down the race route, why this in why didn't she try this in a store where there are mainly white the shop is white people? look, the shop is in peckham, which has a mainly ethnic population, his ethnic population, and his target market is mainly black people. so most of his customers are black. he's hardly going to hate his customer base . but you hate his customer base. but you can't at racism when you
4:09 pm
can't cry at racism when you don't get what you want and then behave a that is behave in a manner that is wholly unacceptable and then say it's because you're black. like you have to follow the rules like either like everyone else. you either want privilege or equality. make up your mind . so before we get up your mind. so before we get stuck into the debate, here's what else is coming up today for the great british debate. this houn the great british debate. this hour, i'm asking, can you trust sir keir starmer ? it's u—turn sir keir starmer? it's u—turn after u—turn for sir keir, as he says , or does anything or says, or does anything or everything to push his policy agenda forward and win some votes. but can we trust him? then at 450, it's royal round—up time hessle and rios rosas will be here with the latest from behind the palace walls on the menu today. looking at menu today. we'll be looking at the language of the the latest body language of the royals the invictus games royals as the invictus games wraps germany. then at wraps up in germany. then at 5:00, this week's difficult 5:00, it's this week's difficult conversation. plastic surgeon alexis karidis will be in the studio live to discuss the rise in black market cosmetic clinics

4:11 pm
shopping basket. right. i think there be big different reaction. >> well, let's be honest . we >> well, let's be honest. we don't know why all of that happened , fully. we happened, though, fully. so we haven't full details. haven't got the full details. >> we don't. but this just goes to show, we've to show, look, we've got a shoplifting epidemic the shoplifting epidemic and the trouble is shopkeepers can't protect their goods, you know, and security guards are scared to do anything about shoplifting because are scared that what they're going to get. well, again , we don't know whether she again, we don't know whether she was shoplifting. don't know. we don't know if she was shoplifting. we don't know what happened. couldn't happened. and it was i couldn't believe broke believe the scene that broke out. it's not acceptable out. but it it's not acceptable to bash someone with a with a shopping basket the way she did her. and, you know, and i'm sorry he reacted in the way he is. but in some respects, i can't blame him. >> and but he did put his hand out and neck, though. so he did, which is not really that's not acceptable either. >> but the trouble is, as i said, got a shoplifting said, we've got a shoplifting epidemic . there were you know, epidemic. there were you know, police recorded 340,000 shoplifting incidents . is
4:12 pm
shoplifting incidents. is they're the only ones that have been reported. and this isn't a victimless crime because actually it's costing the british a british retail court 1 billion a year. it's costing. and then it puts the prices up. but what are we to do about it? >> well, she seems to think that the reason she was treated that way was because she was black. now we don't know whether she was shoplifting or stealing. now we was preventing we know that he was preventing her from leaving his goods. we know that he was preventing he|what leaving his goods. we know that he was preventing he|what leavthat his goods. we know that he was preventing he|what leavthat workss goods. we know that he was preventing he|what leavthat works . goods. so what how that works. >> nana is a very >> as you said, nana is a very you live in you know, many blacks live in that area. why would he go against his customers? matthew? >> . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, it's as we say, we don't know exactly what happened. >> i live just down the >> i mean, i live just down the road peckham. walked road from peckham. i've walked past many times. it's past that shop many times. it's a vibrant high street, as a very vibrant high street, as you say. it's a community with a majority of colour. majority population of colour. and point is the and i think the key point is the one made, nana, is if one you made, nana, is that if he was hostile fundamentally to his not to his customers, he's not going to survive effectively selling products women. products to black women. it's a hair i think mostly sells hair shop. i think mostly sells a hair accessories is he's not going to survive, but as you say, i think just triggered say, i think it's just triggered discontent. the throat
4:13 pm
discontent. i think the throat issue , which see in the issue, which we could see in the video, has lots of video, clearly has lots of echoes happened echoes of what happened originally george floyd originally with the george floyd protests and so i think that's hit a particular button . but, hit a particular button. but, you what i is you know, look, what i think is that the sort of that the some of the sort of professional protesters who've been up the anger, been stirring up the anger, what worries is that when you cry worries me is that when you cry wolf, because this is obviously a situation and, you a difficult situation and, you know, a there's whole know, there's a there's a whole story tell. but it's not story to tell. but it's not obvious discrimination when there discrimination there is obvious discrimination . protest, it . and when people protest, it lessens . and that's lessens that impact. and that's what me, kind what worries me, that you kind of know, the crying of get that you know, the crying wolf syndrome, that if everything labelled everything is suddenly labelled about it doesn't about race, even when it doesn't appear then that lessens appear to be, then that lessens it it's correctly labelled it when it's correctly labelled as being issue of race discrimination. >> well, worrying sign >> well, the more worrying sign as that obviously the as well was that obviously the involvement lives involvement of black lives matter. protesters matter. but then protesters saying an black saying that we want an all black people blind from black businesses like businesses only and stuff like that. wouldn't be that. now that wouldn't be allowed you couldn't allowed for lizzie. you couldn't say, white people only to say, i want white people only to buy businesses. and buy white businesses. and it cannot be that if people are calling for equality, this sort of side, they're asking for privilege . and that's not privilege. and that's not acceptable. privilege. and that's not acceptablenot acceptable. and >> that's not acceptable. and that racist. yeah
4:14 pm
that in itself is racist. yeah i'm sorry. it is. and we've got to do something about this. this is this going crazy. it is this is going crazy. it really feel in really is. and i feel sorry in some respects for this shopkeeper because as you shopkeeper because now, as you said, shop is closed. he's said, his shop is closed. he's not any business. there's not doing any business. there's people , you know, outside people, you know, outside protesting. worried for protesting. he's worried for himself and for his family protection . i this is protection. an i mean, this is this is crazy. >> well well, the clip that was shortened actually clip shortened was actually a clip of after that, the after all of that, the shopkeeper then gives up. he walks away. has the handle walks away. she has the handle of she starts of the basket and she starts whipping him with the handle of the basket. now this with his the basket. now this is with his back as he's walking away back to her as he's walking away and other shoppers actually restrain so it's clearly a restrain her. so it's clearly a much more complex situation than it being being about race. >> and i think the problem is, is that, understand is that, yes, i can understand why some people want to shop in black owned businesses to have a choice or to have businesses with people who use the products. you but products. i mean, you know, but that that that doesn't mean that other people sell those people shouldn't sell those things. there things. it just means that there should black owned should be more black owned businesses. so i'd like to see that going supporting that anger going into supporting black owners, too. so black business owners, too. so there's ray businesses that
4:15 pm
there's a ray of businesses that we shop in. i mean, just we can all shop in. i mean, just down from there is the down the road from there is the elephant castle, which a elephant and castle, which is a big which is a big nearer i live, which is a big nearer i live, which is a big latin big centre for the latin community britain. loads of community in britain. loads of latin owned businesses which people different people of all different ethnic backgrounds go and shopping. so that's see is that's what you want to see is kind of a diversity in every sense of businesses of sense of businesses and of customers. i'd like customers. do you know, i'd like people about people to stop banging on about the owner of the business. >> if it were i don't think >> if it were me. i don't think it's i think it's it's relevant. i think it's just stoking racism. i'm tired stoking up racism. and i'm tired of hearing people who say they've persecuted , then they've been persecuted, then trying create a sort of trying to create a sort of apartheid, which is what that is him calling that is like an him calling for. that is like an apartheid. we've been there, seen it, done it wasn't nice seen it, done it. it wasn't nice , correct? yeah, right. well, listen , join us. keep your listen, join us. keep your thoughts coming. gb views gbnews.com. me at gb news. gbnews.com. tweet me at gb news. i'm akua. this is gb news. i'm nana akua. this is gb news. we the people's channel. we are the people's channel. we're live on tv online and on digital radio. still to come, this week's difficult conversation. sergeant alex karidis will be joining me to discuss the rise of black market cosmetic clinics and the rising number of britons heading overseas for cosmetic surgery

4:22 pm
onune >> hello. this is gb news on tv online and on digital radio. i'm nana akua. it's time now for the great british debate. this hour, i'm asking can you trust sir keir starmer? labour have pledged create temporary pledged to create temporary so—called nightingale courts to speed decisions and speed up asylum decisions and the party is also pledging to hire over 1000 home office caseworkers clear asylum caseworkers to clear the asylum backlog fast track decisions caseworkers to clear the asylum bacapplicantsast track decisions caseworkers to clear the asylum bac applicants from ack decisions caseworkers to clear the asylum bac applicants from certain sions for applicants from certain countries. so they plan to stop using hotels, barges and former military sites to house asylum seekers, which they claim costs the taxpayers over £2 billion a yeah the taxpayers over £2 billion a year. but where do they plan to house these people then, if not in hotels, barges and former military sites? if they do have a plan, they certainly haven't said it. commons labour leader penny mordaunt doesn't seem to think starmer's plans are very strong . have a listen. because strong. have a listen. because i think the labour leader is beach ken beach . ken beach. >> ken stands for nothing on shifting sands in his flip flops, staring out to sea, doing nothing constructive to stop small boats or grow the economy
4:23 pm
. me and when we examine his weak record on union demands on border control and on protecting the public and stopping small boats, we discover that like beach ken, he has zero balls . beach ken, he has zero balls. >> sorry . >> sorry. >> sorry. >> this follows yet another u—turn by sir keir starmer. despite originally endorsing plans to give eu nationals full voting rights, those plans did not make their way into labour's national policy forum document. it's certainly not the only screeching u—turn sir keir starmer has made as labour leader. he rowed back on plans to scrap universal credit, backflipped on his pledge to aboush backflipped on his pledge to abolish tuition fees and abandoned his £28 billion green prosperity plan. so no for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking can you trust sir keir starmer ? well, i'm joined keir starmer? well, i'm joined now by denis macshane. he's a former labour mp and minister former labour mp and minister for evans, for europe. suzanne evans, political commentator. david kirton , leader of the heritage kirton, leader of the heritage party, ann widdecombe , party, and ann widdecombe, former minister. former conservative minister. i'm going to start with you, denis macshane . denis, my
4:24 pm
answer. >> kevin, i'm so sorry. >> i just was i'm falling off the seat by listening to penny mordaunt saying that keir starmer has got no , but what are starmer has got no, but what are we allowed to use this language on? >> gb news she said it. it's fine . fine. >> well, i'm sorry. >> well, i'm sorry. >> hitler has got goebbels as to but very think is but very. i think this is disgusting , disgusting, horrible. >> typical of the state of the conservative government. now they use language like that . they use language like that. >> all right. >> all right. >> here's very simply my answer is i think you should trust anybody elected to high office. i don't know , because starmer i don't know, because starmer isn't prime minister. what i can say is we've seen the record of liz, of boris , of rishi, of liz, of boris, of rishi, of theresa, of, of, of david. >> but specifically at the moment, at the moment, on him at the moment i see no evidence you're talking about. >> i didn't even know about giving votes and i'm a real european expert. i mean you're inventing things saying inventing things and saying they're and they're being turned around and dropped have been
4:25 pm
dropped off, but they have been what? well, the national policy forum is where the labour sorts out a lot of its difficulties. these are debates votes. they're not decisions nana. and yes , for not decisions nana. and yes, for the time being, i will see if i prove wrong when he becomes prime minister and you'll be jumping down my throat or jumping down my throat or jumping up and down with joy. i actually think keir starmer exudes some one who's fairly straight , a exudes some one who's fairly straight, a fairly boring, effective lawyer holding high legal positions, not made many mistakes in his life other than perhaps getting involved in politics. yes and yes. i think the country senses this is a man you can trust after the liars that we've had in the last three years. >> ann widdecombe . ann >> ann widdecombe. ann widdecombe. ann >> well, that that is just hilarious, dennis. >> i mean, the idea that you trust somebody who changes his mind every two minutes on something or other, i mean, they're only listed a fraction of the things that he's changed his mind on. now, when somebody issues a great high statement of
4:26 pm
principle and says , this is what principle and says, this is what we are going do and then five we are going to do and then five minutes later actually decides this not going to this is what we are not going to do. trust man do. you cannot trust that man that doesn't mean he's a bad man. just means he's man. it just means he's completely ineffectual and can't stick route. and so you of stick to a route. and so you of course, you can't trust him and the that keir starmer is, the idea that keir starmer is, is, you know , worthy of is, is, you know, worthy of being prime minister. i mean, i've got my views on rishi sunak as well, but the idea that keir starmer can go into number 10 and can be relied upon to set out a programme and stick to it is just a joke. come back. margaret thatcher please. >> suzanne evans suzanne so i think both ann and dennis are right. >> i've just had a quick look at the gb news twitter poll. 87% of people are now saying that they don't trust starmer. but of course we don't know how many of that 87% don't trust rishi sunak enhen that 87% don't trust rishi sunak either. and if a poll of about a month ago is to be believed , two month ago is to be believed, two thirds of voters don't trust
4:27 pm
either of them. they're totally disillusioned with both of them . now, interestingly, that same poll showed that people trusted keir starmer more than rishi sunak on four of rishi sunaks top five priorities, the ones to halve inflation, grow the economy , reduce the national economy, reduce the national debt and cut nhs waiting lists. but interestingly , lee rishi but interestingly, lee rishi sunak only came out top on the stop the boats policy, although that could have changed because of course there have been about another 7500 illegal migrants come across by the boats by then. but here's the nub only a maximum of 37% trusted either of them on anything . and i think them on anything. and i think this is the problem really. politicians have never been top of the trustworthy list. but now i think they're at an all time rock bottom low. nothing in the country seems to be working for anybody and nobody trusts either of them . of them. >> well, let's give it to david kurten . what do you make of all kurten. what do you make of all that crumbs yeah, well, don't that crumbs yeah, well, i don't trust anyone who can't define a woman. woman. >> woman. >> not straight off the bat,
4:28 pm
like starmer . like starmer. >> i mean, he's taking a long time to get there, you time to get there, but, you know, anyone doesn't know, anyone who doesn't say a woman by their woman is defined by their anatomy and their chromosomes really , they're not talking any really, they're not talking any common sense whatsoever . but on common sense whatsoever. but on all things well all the other things as well that that that you've mentioned, that sort of areas that he's done, of policy, areas that he's done, flip flops on, he's done them because he thinks, well, because he thinks, oh, well, this is the popular position in the country. i've to sell the country. i've got to sell this and say, oh, this to the public and say, oh, yeah, i support some kind yeah, well, i support some kind of populist positions. but of more populist positions. but remember, and the remember, labour and the conservatives too, will do a bait and switch before elections. they will say things to get elected as soon as they are. they will revert straight back to labour's core policies, which will be more mass immigration, more tax, higher tax, higher spending, higher borrowing. and that's what we're going to get. and, you know, the conservative have done that in the last 13 years. the blair brown did that in the 13 years before that. and if starmer gets in, he's going to continue with that will be a disaster. that and he will be a disaster. >> mm hm. and do you think and
4:29 pm
do you think it'll be a disaster? starmer i think either do you think it'll be a disthose’ starmer i think either do you think it'll be a disthose two rmer i think either do you think it'll be a disthose two are r i think either do you think it'll be a disthose two are disasterszither do you think it'll be a disthose two are disasters ,ther of those two are disasters, quite honestly, which is why i think that if people really had had enough, then this is the moment when given that you can hardly put a paper between rishi and keir starmer. >> this is the moment to make a real change and vote for another party altogether . and i'm not party altogether. and i'm not talking about the lib dems . talking about the lib dems. >> no, no. so, dennis, you're laughing. >> well, it's a usual three against one. >> and i love it. four against one. of course. nana queen nana. are you going to bash me over the head with your handbag like that poor man who's shop was being shoplifted ? i just think being shoplifted? i just think we can't say that she was being shoplifting. >> all right. >> all right. >> not yet, no. okay i. i think that the people are remotely interested in brexit parties reform parties, or, you know , reform parties, or, you know, off the cuff, invented tomorrow parties. so they're not at dad knows this. she's actually stood and fought in real live parliamentary elections. they're
4:30 pm
not to going move away from the two big parties to choose the next prime minister and government . government. >> well, you never know. maybe >> well, you never know. maybe >> well, you never know. maybe >> well, perhaps if we were italy . yes, we are becoming more italy. yes, we are becoming more like italy. well, the daily telegraph compared us to argentina last week . the economy argentina last week. the economy is so bad. so why answer? >> i think i think what dennis said would be true if people were worried by either of the big parties when they were worried about corbyn or no way were they going to vote for the brexit party because they were terrified that would let corbyn in. they're not so in. this time they're not so worried. and this is the time. as say, if you've really had as i say, if you've really had enough, you look at reform uk, look actually doing something look at actually doing something different with your vote because next it may be worrying next time it may be worrying again, we may have back. again, we may have corbyn back. >> right, this will >> all right, so this will be yes no. dennis can yes or no. dennis mcshane can you suzanne you trust. yes, yes. suzanne evans can you trust the keir starmer ? starmer? >> can't trust any of them, i'm afraid moment. no, no. afraid, at the moment. no, no. >> widdecombe yes or no? >> ann widdecombe yes or no? >> ann widdecombe yes or no? >> of them? >> any of them? >> any of them? >> none them . and david yes

4:52 pm
good afternoon. it's just coming up to 53 minutes after 4:00. this is a gb news on tv online and on digital radio. now, there's always something going on in the royal household. and this week has been no different. the royal family have stayed silent in light of prince harry's 39th birthday this week and meghan's finally showed up to the invictus games. now, every i love to give every saturday, i love to give you a round, round up in my royal roundup. and who better to delve into this than body expert
4:53 pm
ennque delve into this than body expert enrique enrique , who has as enrique enrique, who has as ennque enrique enrique, who has as enrique rhosus . i did it so well enrique rhosus. i did it so well before . aziz, thank you so much before. aziz, thank you so much for joining me. great to see forjoining me. great to see you. right. well, it's been busy with the royals . what can you with the royals. what can you tell me? what's been going on? what's your first thing? yeah . yeah. >> perhaps the most relevant thing was yesterday that meghan appeared marching in front of the veterans and it was shocking. and really unacceptable . and. well, we have unacceptable. and. well, we have that. the picture of harry and meghan. we're going to talk about them. but this meghan still in the attention from the real protagonist of the invictus games, which are the veterans, the men and women that did so much for their countries is has been a really bad taste. i don't know what the organisers of this event were thinking, but okay, meghan has the right to go to the soledar. nobody can stop her but featuring her so much is stealing that that spotlight effectively from the games
4:54 pm
themselves and that is like a wasted opportunity. in fact . wasted opportunity. in fact. >> so that picture there was harry holding meghan's hand and what she was detracting attention . you said from the attention. you said from the actual main people there. what do we get from that picture, though, by the way , that that though, by the way, that that picture we got another picture besides this that i sent, by the way, that that is meghan's usual torch. >> you know, that meghan is quite dominant. and harry had this attitude before meghan arrived, had this attitude of comradery, has a bit of charisma, harry, a bit awkward . charisma, harry, a bit awkward. but it's still. it's still harry. but when meghan arrives, things tend to change a bit. especially meghan. given this gesture when she is a bit bored and wants to once . harry to, to, and wants to once. harry to, to, to go just go. i'm bored. let's, let's, let's let's move forward and you you can notice it was a
4:55 pm
running joke at first but so many times has happened through three years that . three years three years that. three years that yes , we already know that that yes, we already know that harry changes completely when meghan is around. yeah i remember that. >> that the grab the claw that we called it that she sort of claws his hand. yes. and you can't escape it. >> she, she starts she starts with a tap of the back and if harry doesn't pay attention to her because he's talking to another person, because there are persons besides her in are other persons besides her in the in the area . are other persons besides her in the in the area. but are other persons besides her in the in the area . but then she the in the area. but then she grabs him and begins to pull him away . that's that's something away. that's that's something that she does. yeah >> now, the next picture we've got, this we've this got, this is of we've got this other picture. now there's a william and charles qatar in. and of course , camilla. what do and of course, camilla. what do you see in this picture ? you see in this picture? >> yeah, see this picture i was talking about ? >> yeah, see this picture i was talking about? i >> yeah, see this picture i was talking about ? i wanted to talk talking about? i wanted to talk about something that you mentioned, by the way, at the
4:56 pm
start that people are talking about the silence of the royal family, about the invictus games that they did not pronounce, did not say anything like they are distancing themselves. and it's some kind that they think some kind of that they think people are thinking the people are thinking that the rift between the brothers or between the royal family and harry and meghan are are causing some kind of fallout . but that's some kind of fallout. but that's not true because it's like the patronage and the charities and the activities of each member of the activities of each member of the royal family is pretty much independent, ardent. and by the way , people are circulating way, people are circulating a picture here of king charles, then prince of wales, with with william and harry at the first invictus games. but that was the first invictus games in 2014. and that picture , that picture and that picture, that picture right there, that was back in 2014, in the first invictus games in london. when was the first one and then the second 1
4:57 pm
in 2016. in usa , harry was by in 2016. in usa, harry was by himself . in 2016. in usa, harry was by himself. there was no in 2016. in usa, harry was by himself . there was no official himself. there was no official because that's the point, right? you already you are in charge like harry is in charge of the invictus games. so there is no need for, um , the royal need for, um, the royal household to make an official statement. so i see this attack on the royal family that is, is basically a misinformation mission because they don't nofice mission because they don't notice that this has this how it has worked before even harry met meghan. so i don't see the point in saying that the royal family hasn't said anything about the invictus games when it's not not customary to do it is quite sad, isn't it, the way that this is panning out as well? >> because of course harry and meghan are being distanced and distancing themselves from the royal family. and of course , royal family. and of course, obviously now they're trying to find , uh, harry and meghan are find, uh, harry and meghan are trying to find meaning in what they're doing, because actually he's doing what did
4:58 pm
he's doing what he did beforehand when he was royal or working a working royal. and now they're trying to find some sort of meaning. it doesn't of meaning. and it doesn't seem to else than the to be much else other than the invictus. what else are they going to do? >> problem is that all >> yeah, the problem is that all this attack on the royal family already has ended. that lost all gas, that lost all punch . and gas, that lost all punch. and they are facing not only that, but the indus countries that they are trying to aim that streaming services and publishing. i don't really saying, hey, what is next? what what kind of content do you have as a content creator? you have to bring something of value which is beyond just your presence , just your image. so presence, just your image. so that's that's what people are asking this. these people at this at netflix are a spotify at penguin random house. what is next for them? and that is that is the big problem that harry and meghan are right now. this is like a crossroads and that's one of the reasons they have decided split their brands
4:59 pm
decided to split their brands pretty much. although meghan still wants to appear , for still wants to appear, for example, in the big games, which is let's say it's harry's games, quote unquote , she still wants quote unquote, she still wants wants to appear and be front and centre on those games. >> well, listen , so wonderful to >> well, listen, so wonderful to speak to you. so good to see you as well. the royal rogue has hennquez as well. the royal rogue has henriquez rosas joining us now. you can find him on youtube and of course, on x, where he's got some fabulous clips of body language and he'll give you all the latest from behind the palace walls. if you just joined me, this is gb news on tv online and on digital radio. still loads come in the next loads more to come in the next hour. loads more to come in the next hour . it's loads more to come in the next hour. it's 5:00. you're with me. i'm nana akua. hour. it's 5:00. you're with me. i'm nana akua . this is gb news. i'm nana akua. this is gb news. we are the people's channel for the next hour, me and my panel will be taking on some of the big topics hitting the headlines right now. up, surgeon right now. coming up, surgeon alex karidis will be joining me

honest and candid with them. >> made you decide to >> so what made you decide to become plastic surgeon? >> so what made you decide to become itplastic surgeon? >> so what made you decide to become it seems surgeon? >> so what made you decide to become it seems like, eon? >> so what made you decide to become it seems like, you know, because it seems like, you know, it very interesting it seems like a very interesting profession to go into it. it must be quite difficult as well. >> well, you see, unlike other forms surgery a lot of forms of surgery where a lot of the is done internally, the surgery is done internally, where all where you don't see you do all the you don't actually the work and you don't actually see obviously the patient see it, obviously the patient functions well, functions better. they get well, obviously our profession obviously. but in our profession and speciality, you do and in our speciality, you do something and you can see it and you can see effects straight you can see the effects straight away must have. >> and has it gone wrong >> and has it ever gone wrong when done it and it's when you've done it and it's gone wrong? gone badly wrong? >> listen, every surgery, every unfortunately, who unfortunately, no matter who does it, there's always a complication rate. unfortunately, with everything, no that's no matter how well. and that's the important point about what you mentioned before, about people going abroad for surgery . know, surgical the . we, you know, surgical the actual procedure is one aspect of it. but you've got all the post—operative follow up care , post—operative follow up care, and that's where you need to be post—operative follow up care, and vigilant1ere you need to be post—operative follow up care, and vigilant toe you need to be post—operative follow up care, and vigilant to be )u need to be post—operative follow up care, and vigilant to be )u neto to be very vigilant to be able to check look these check and look after these patients, because occasionally something does do don't go according plan and the according to plan and the complication can arise. so you need the backup and need to have the backup and support to be able to deal with
5:10 pm
it. if you're 4000 miles it. and if you're 4000 miles away from where was done , away from where it was done, it's not easy. >> brazilian lift >> well, the brazilian butt lift as a notoriously mean i as well is a notoriously mean i don't much about surgery, don't know much about surgery, but is quite a but i hear that one is quite a dangerous that dangerous operation. why is that so dangerous ? so dangerous? >> well, lot of it is actually >> well, a lot of it is actually dependent on the procedure itself , because what the itself, because what the brazilian butt lift is basically extracting fat from another part of the body. and injecting it into buttocks to into the buttocks in order to enhance and increase the enhance them and to increase the volume . the thing is, there are volume. the thing is, there are a couple of ways you can do this. you can inject by this. you can inject it by injecting into muscles injecting deep into the muscles and also you can inject it more superficially. do superficially. when you do inject deeply , there's inject it more deeply, there's always of hitting a vein, always a risk of hitting a vein, and in which case the fat can go into vein, into your into the vein, into your circulation blood circulation and cause a blood clot. wow. yeah clot. oh, wow. yeah >> quite serious. >> god, that's quite serious. >> god, that's quite serious. >> be serious. >> it can be serious. >> it can be serious. >> what about butt implants? >> but what about butt implants? because that because i've seen people do that as that considered a as well. is that considered a brazilian lift as well? brazilian butt lift as well? >> different because >> no, it is different because obviously implants rather obviously using implants rather than but have than than fat. but they have their own set of problems as well. >> i've seen somebody i don't know whether it a meme or know whether it was a meme or anything, i think it was
5:11 pm
anything, but i think it was real. woman was doing all real. this woman was doing all these and then her these sort of like and then her her exploded and yeah. her bottom exploded and yeah. and the, the implant just came flying out and it was bad. and the, the implant just came flineah.: and it was bad. and the, the implant just came flyi yeah. youi it was bad. and the, the implant just came flyi yeah. you canvas bad. and the, the implant just came flyi yeah. you can getbad. >> yeah. you can get displacement implants well displacement of implants as well of course, exploded of course, but it exploded in the just that can happen. the bottom just that can happen. is that not quite. >> maybe that was maybe that was obvious that but yeah well well i'm pleased to say i don't i don't more bottom. i'm don't need more bottom. i'm quite what i've got. quite happy with what i've got. it's more than enough. so what would because would you say to people? because some people will hear these cheaper prices. they abroad. cheaper prices. they go abroad. they a celebrities. they see a lot of celebrities. i know price has had stuff know katie price has had stuff done turkey. often, you done in turkey. they often, you know, on their know, doing stuff on their channels saying i'm turkey, channels saying i'm in turkey, doing my surgery, and what would you people who you say to people who the problem abroad problem is that surgery abroad has many, many years. >> i mean, even since i've been in practise 26 years now, the people have been going abroad. you bottom line is you know, at the bottom line is when clinic offering when there's a clinic offering cheaper price surgery, it's going obviously fulfil going to obviously fulfil a market for that. and people will base their decision on price alone, which is the wrong thing to do. i mean, i think for
5:12 pm
anything in the world you can use price perhaps , but for use price perhaps, but for surgical options on your body, you really don't want to use price that should not be price alone. that should not be the list. but the top of your list. but unfortunately people do go to go abroad based on price alone and they get their they meet the surgeon many times for the first time. um, you know, once they're there, they then can't change their say, oh, their mind because they say, oh, i've all the way over here i've flown all the way over here many times. they paid deposit. many times. they paid a deposit. so they obviously get into this situation they have surgery situation when they have surgery and then doesn't go well, and then if it doesn't go well, once they've as surgeons once they've left as surgeons over here, for example, we were picking up the pieces for lot picking up the pieces for a lot of patients. what's the of these patients. what's the biggest thing that you're picking pieces oh, picking up the pieces for? oh, i mean, post—operative complications. poor complications. you know, poor scars surgery, for scars for breast surgery, for example. no surgery where the shape didn't the outcome didn't come out the way they wanted to or more serious or they had a more serious problem like an infection. so these are serious things. and people need to really understand, you know, surgery is a . and it's whole a journey. and it's the whole journey . yes. the operation is journey. yes. the operation is one of surgery , but one aspect of that surgery, but it's the follow up care it's also the follow up care that attention
5:13 pm
that you need to pay attention to. and that's where obviously some of the clinics you pay the extra price because you're getting all that support and follow up. >> now, you said when i asked you whether any you whether you've had any surgery, had an surgery, you said you had an non—surgical on. non—surgical stuff going on. i was listening about botox and things that . and the fact things like that. and the fact that people sort of inject it in the wrong place when the cheeks and then the cheeks puffy and then the cheeks get puffy and then the cheeks get puffy and they put it and then when then they put it in place doesn't in the wrong place that doesn't need the end it need fat. and in the end it becomes worse than surgery. >> absolutely. you know, the biggest any biggest determinant of any treatment do is the treatment that you do is the actual practitioner who's behind it. his experience, his or it. okay his experience, his or her experience . yes. and you her experience. yes. and you know, the better they are, the better the results are going to be, the outcome. but unfortunately, these days, you can who perhaps can get people who are perhaps inexperienced, don't have as much procedures much training, doing procedures which of course lead to poor outcomes . outcomes. >> you know, and once they've injected the botox , can it does injected the botox, can it does it dissolve? does well, it dissolve? does it well, eventually what happens with it ? >> botox 7 >> botox eventually, just just sort wears out, wears itself sort of wears out, wears itself out after about three months hence. that's you to
5:14 pm
hence. that's why you need to repeat three months. repeat it every three months. >> does it go? does it dissolve? >> it gets broken down by your body. whereas fillers do dissolve , fillers are for volume dissolve, fillers are for volume enhancing, botox works enhancing, whereas botox works in a slightly different way. >> but some people you see who've had fillers, don't who've had fillers, they don't dissolve look dissolve and they don't look like are longer lasting ones. >> you know, people think, oh, i'll have a longer last one, which which they think is better because have have because they don't have to have injections the only injections as often. the only problem when they problem is, of course, when they last time in body, last a long time in your body, your body eventually wants to reject and that reject some of them and that that's could cause that's that could cause a problem, of autoimmune type problem, sort of autoimmune type response with. >> body starts to >> yeah, your body starts to resent indeed happen. resent and indeed it can happen. yeah i'm okay. so what shall i have done ? i was waiting. what have done? i was waiting. what should i have done. >> well listen, you know, what could i have done with any patient who comes in through my door sure . i door? i want to make sure. i want to be clear what it is. they're not happy about because that's so important for me. there's point in sort of there's no point in me sort of saying, okay, listen, i think you should have this that saying, okay, listen, i think you and ld have this that saying, okay, listen, i think you and ld ha patient that that and then patient turn around say, you know what? around and say, you know what? that's an issue. that's not really an issue. >> you do about
5:15 pm
>> what could you do about a neck when do about necks? >> well, again, you know, it depends on what the problem is. obviously have a little obviously if you have a little bit fat, could bit of unwanted fat, you could do some localised liposuction to remove that fat removal. obviously, bit of obviously, if there's a bit of sag muscles in the skin, sag in the muscles in the skin, then something more then obviously something more formal would be formal like a neck lift would be required. lift. required. yes, neck lift. i mean, you. mean, i'm looking at you. you look you've great neck. look you've got a great neck. don't nana. don't worry, nana. >> thank you so i've started to use what found is use actually, what i found is i do like salt. gentle salt do like a salt. gentle salt scrub on my neck. just little scrub on my neck. just a little one there well, it's one there to get. well, it's important after the salt important to look after the salt scrub put some nice scrub and then put some nice cocoa on there. sure cocoa butter on there. sure >> absolutely. moisturising is the very good pillow. the end all be very good pillow. >> night. >> so i don't sleep. night. >> so i don't sleep. night. >> good. you don't want >> that's good. you don't want to face often to squash your face too often because let's face it, if you're going to sleeping hours because let's face it, if you're grday,to sleeping hours because let's face it, if you're grday, a sleeping hours because let's face it, if you're grday, a third .eeping hours because let's face it, if you're grday, a third ofping hours because let's face it, if you're grday, a third ofping day, hours because let's face it, if you're grday, a third ofping day, yomrs a day, a third of your day, you don't to squash on side don't want to squash on one side because get wrinkles and because you can get wrinkles and creases side your creases in one side and your specialism, of specialism, then in terms of surgery, specialise in surgery, do you specialise in any particular of body? any particular part of the body? well, cosmetic surgery, any particular part of the body? wel|so cosmetic surgery, any particular part of the body? wel|so i cosmetic surgery, any particular part of the body? wel|so i do zosmetic surgery, any particular part of the body? wel|so i do the 1etic surgery, any particular part of the body? wel|so i do the 1etic slrange of and so i do the whole range of them, whether it's facial surgery, nose surgery down to the breast surgery, tummy the body, breast surgery, tummy tucks, generally tucks, fat removal. so generally speaking, the operations that i

5:17 pm
weather on. gb news. >> hello there. i'm jonathan vautrey tree. who is your latest gb news weather forecast provided by the met office. it's a slightly mixed week end and thatis a slightly mixed week end and that is how we're ending saturday. as well. some showery outbreaks of rain for southwest england. generally england. wales generally spreading way spreading their way closer towards northern ireland as we head throughout the evening and overnight out southeastern england, some late sunny england, seeing some late sunny intervals. but the cloud beginning well beginning to build here as well overnight a accompanied in overnight and a accompanied in all that quite mild and all of that is quite a mild and humid air mass. so for the southern of the uk southern two thirds of the uk will a mild night, will be quite a mild night, particularly the very particularly across the very far south teens south of england, high teens here, under the cooler air here, but under the cooler air mass and clearer skies across northern scotland, chillier northern scotland, a chillier night come, dropping down night to come, dropping down towards values in some towards frost values in some sheltered areas. so bright sheltered rural areas. so bright start for northern scotland before cloud and rain before the cloud and rain eventually spreads its way up for all the northern for here all but the northern isles though, isles in the south, though, we'll to see some heavy we'll start to see some heavy thundery showers push into southern could southern england. wales could provide some localised disruption. worth disruption. so it's worth keeping eye on that keeping an eye on that throughout temperatures throughout the day. temperatures just down compared to
5:18 pm
just a touch down compared to saturday for the and england due to the increased amounts of cloud probably little cloud but probably a little warmer and warmer for parts of scotland and northern into on monday. northern ireland into on monday. we'll this cold front we'll see this cold front spreading and behind spreading its way in and behind that feed some that it will feed in some fresher so removing that fresher air. so removing that warm and humid conditions. but on the cold front itself, quite an unsettled day. again, some heavy showers rain be heavy showers and rain could be some thunderstorms in there as well. eastern areas holding off a touch until later on in the day. but new working day. but the new working week does stay relatively does look to stay relatively unsettled for of us with unsettled for many of us with further showers rain by by further showers and rain by by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> well , weather on. gb news. >> well, coming up, it's the source of all our life water with reports that the government may have watered down sewage laws, is it time to bring water back into public ownership ? but back into public ownership? but up next, continuing with the great british debate this hour, i'm asking, should all dog owners have to
5:22 pm
me, michael portillo gb news britain's news . me, michael portillo gb news britain's news. channel >> good afternoon. if you've just tuned in where have you been? it's just coming up to 23 minutes after 5:00. i'm nana akua. is gb news. we are akua. this is gb news. we are the people's channel. we're live on tv, online and on digital radio. now it's time for the great british debate. this hour. i'm asking should all dog owners have to get a licence ? rishi have to get a licence? rishi sunak has announced that the american banned american xl bully will be banned calling the animals a danger to
5:23 pm
communities . and it follows communities. and it follows numerous attacks, including numerous dog attacks, including the mauling of an 11 year old girl in birmingham, which left her with serious injuries. the dog control coalition argue banning the xl bully will not stop the attacks and they should be a bigger focus on irresponsible owners. and campaigners have also questioned the practicality of a ban. but it's been confirmed that the dogs not face cull and dogs will not face a cull and will be registered and kept leashed and muzzled in public. so for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking should all dog owners have to get a licence? joining me now is colin tennant. he's a dangerous dog assessor and dog expert witness . neil parish is a former conservative mp and chair environment for food and rural affairs. claire pearsall political commentator and former conservative special adviser. and peter spencer, a political commentator. and peter spencer, a political commentator . well, listen, i've commentator. well, listen, i've got to start straight away with colin because as this excel bullet looks like a lion with a human kind of face and i, i would be absolutely petrified of
5:24 pm
one of those. surely all dogs should have a licence and that dog should be banned in particular. >> well, we used to have a licence for dogs many years ago and that didn't work because people who, if you wish , have people who, if you wish, have criminal minds or people who ignore the people who are ignore the law, people who are irresponsible and they're the group i refer to who are actually who own these dogs that are aggressive , whether they're are aggressive, whether they're bull breeds or other breeds. um you're supposed to have your dog chip by law, so they're not going to have the dog chip . and going to have the dog chip. and if you don't have the dogs chip, you can't then trace them . so you can't then trace them. so all the people who are honest and all the people who look after the dogs will have the dogs chipped as they do now. so somebody and test somebody can go along and test it to see if there's a chip in the dog and identify the dog. but not the people but they're not the people who are the problems, are causing the problems, the people who are causing the problems, see in problems, which you'll see in parts london, in kilburn and parts of london, in kilburn and southwark areas are southwark and other areas are mainly young males between the
5:25 pm
ages of about 18 and 23, not always males, but generally that's the group that i deal with. i've interviewed over 100 in court and they are the type, let alone the dog being of type. they're often not particularly well educated on social care . well educated on social care. they are obsessed with image. they are obsessed with image. they want to use the dog as a substitute weapon, i.e. instead of a knife or another weapon, they use the dogs and they use them to threaten. they encourage them to threaten. they encourage them to threaten. they encourage them to be aggressive. so if you take a young puppy, whatever the breed, and you encourage it to be aggressive and you don't go through the formal training that the of us do, you the rest of us do, then you often with a dog like often end up with a dog like these. but it is incremental and so who's to going enforce the licence? i mean, at the moment we have a lot of draconian laws on dogs and then force. the police do not enforce them. i mean, i was in kilburn about two months ago and there was a gang of lads with cross breeds,
5:26 pm
staffordshire type crosses and locking around and the dogs are snarling and snapping and i could see people walking around them like you. you say you would be, but i've got a german shepherd who sat next to me here and he's a big dog, but i wouldn't walk past him because i don't want my attacked by don't want my dog attacked by them. driving them. this policeman driving past, they don't stop them. he can issue an anti—social behaviour order against them. >> colin i'm going to bring in neil parish because, neil, what are take this ? i mean, are your take on this? i mean, he they're not going he said that they're not going to really do anything because the irresponsible the people who are irresponsible won't a licence. but what if won't get a licence. but what if the licence was gradually more expensive, was expensive, the worse the dog was 7 expensive, the worse the dog was ? and there was other things as well what do you well in there? what do you think, neil? >> i think one of the problem very much is that when you bring in a dog licence, you make in a dog licence, you will make the all the law abiding good dog owners pay a licence fee. >> those that are going to breed them in the back streets are going produce them, know, going to produce them, you know, and beat and create them and beat them and create them into status dogs and vicious
5:27 pm
dogs.i into status dogs and vicious dogs . i mean, into status dogs and vicious dogs. i mean, i into status dogs and vicious dogs . i mean, i agree with the dogs. i mean, i agree with the last that is very much must last guy that is very much must target those people. and that's why worried about being why i'm worried about being a general now if you general licence. now if you brought in a general licence and you actually make sure that you can actually make sure that money policing money went to better policing and better dog control, yes. but of course very often that does not happen . so i think, you not happen. so i think, you know, it's the it's very often the people , believe it or not, the people, believe it or not, that have the dog, not the dog. i mean , there are dogs that are i mean, there are dogs that are vicious and they should be put down. but a lot of these dogs, even though these . breeds are even though these. breeds are dangerous, they are not vicious. when first started, it's very often those people that are wanting the status dogs wanting them protection, wanting them for protection, wanting them for protection, wanting them to for criminal use, these are the people that need to be targeted. this is what we found when we did an enquiry into it. and i think it really is very much targeting those people. so i to police i would like to see the police take much more action and i think, you know, the neutering of the of the american bully
5:28 pm
bulldog will be will be good. but and you mustn't put down all of them because there will be some that are good tempered but you can't. >> no. what about what about. okay peter spencer should they be banned though ? i mean i'd ban be banned though? i mean i'd ban them, frankly , and i'd have them, frankly, and i'd have a licence as well. and insurance well mean that the government's already going down that route. >> but when it comes to licencing or dog owners, i mean given that the overwhelming majority of dogs are sweet and loyal and lovely and all the rest of it, that that the idea of having to licence all of them a bit like take an intercontinental ballistic missile to swat a fly sleight overreaction there. >> pardon? >> pardon? >> sure. but the that clearly the onus is on the owners . the onus is on the owners. >> and if you look at the bully , for god's sake, it's bred to fight other dogs in in america that was still going on on a fairly widespread basis until
5:29 pm
little over a decade ago. >> might even still be going on. so you ask yourself the question about the sort of people that want to buy these dogs. and i pick up the point about your first speaker about wishing to enhance macho qualities. enhance their macho qualities. >> are, of course, that's >> there are, of course, that's not everyone. >> that's only a certain proportion. >> but when it comes to that certain proportion, can think certain proportion, we can think of adage in our of the old adage in our business, is dog business, which is that dog bites is not news, but man bites man is not news, but man bites man is not news, but man bites dog . bites dog. >> well, now that is a story where, for god's sake, where some of these guys wouldn't put anything past them. >> surely, >> well, well, but surely, claire, this dog were, first claire, if this dog were, first of all, banned , but then there of all, banned, but then there was insurance or and some sort of licence that money could be put towards policing this . put towards policing this. >> well, i'm not sure that a ban is going to do anything at all. >> we have already got four breeds on the banned list. and the problem with the bully excel that it the problem with the bully excel thatitis the problem with the bully excel that it is not a recognised breed, it is a type. so i think we come into some sticky situations there. >> licenses are again, aren't
5:30 pm
really going to solve your problem. but i do agree with you that insurance is a way of making sure that proper owners of dogs have these things insured against vet bills , but insured against vet bills, but also with public liability insurance. i think perhaps that would be a much more sensible way of looking at these issues. i was to talking two dog owners, two friends of mine, beryl and lorna , this morning. both of lorna, this morning. both of them dogs , different them have dogs, different breeds, have insurance . and breeds, both have insurance. and the dog is beautifully trained . the dog is beautifully trained. and it's those kind of owners that will go out there and they will do whatever the legislation takes. that won't are takes. the ones that won't are the ones that we're worried about go backstreet about that go to backstreet breeders and have these vicious dogs as a weapon. this isn't going to solve it by introducing a licence. but i do think that we should look we perhaps should look at ensuring this, especially with pubuc ensuring this, especially with public liability . public liability. >> okay. then so yes or no >> okay. so then so yes or no then of you, claire then to all of you, claire pearsall should all dogs have to have a licence? or no ? peter have a licence? yes or no? peter spencer yes or no ? spencer yes or no? >> totally not obvious.
5:31 pm
>> totally not obvious. >> colin yes or no at this stage, no. >> and neil parish again? >> and neil parish again? >> no, but insurance would be good. and of course identifying these dogs that are cross bred is also a big issue as well. so i think let's, you know, get really on to this. it needs to be done. licensing is not the answer . answer. >> you don't think so? okay. neil parish, thank you very much. conservative and much. former conservative mp and chair tennant. you chair colin tennant. thank you so much as well. claire pearsall and also peter spencer. that's their thoughts . what are yours? their thoughts. what are yours? gb views. gbnews.com. get in touch. i'd love to hear what you think about that. if you just tuned coming up to 32 tuned in. just coming up to 32 minutes after 5:00. let's have a quick look at what been quick look at what you've been saying. the saying. jules says the irresponsible owners to irresponsible owners are to blame dogs blame for not keeping the dogs under and leads under control and leads and muzzles help. kim says muzzles would help. kim says when pit bulls were banned , when pit bulls were banned, everyone bred pit bulls everyone just bred pit bulls with dogs the with much bigger dogs and the law actually things like law actually created things like bullies, bullies will bullies, banning xl bullies will create bigger dogs with create even bigger dogs with more strength and celia says
5:32 pm

5:40 pm
know . and the emphasis is wrong know. and the emphasis is wrong dog with the wrong owner. and this is why the licences of all dogsis this is why the licences of all dogs is important. so there's a responsibility on the owners. look we saw in covid people getting dogs willy nilly and then leaving them and then ending up in battersea dogs home or whatever . it's on the owners or whatever. it's on the owners . it really, truly is. and these types of dogs are sadly being bred for aggression and to attack and as a status symbol for all the wrong reasons. and this is what's so important that we get the licencing and back in northern ireland, this is already happening because they used to have stray dogs , used to used to have stray dogs, used to be the cattle and wild be killing the cattle and wild stock. the farmers lobbied this andifs stock. the farmers lobbied this and it's actually law that all dogs are microchipped . it's been dogs are microchipped. it's been there since 2016. there's a 5000 fine if your dog isn't microchip capped but it was terrible . i capped but it was terrible. i mean, it was like a horror movie that attack that we saw, which was absolute disgusting. but i'm afraid there needs to be bigger punishment on the owners.

5:46 pm
about the dog jumping on tables in restaurants where they're allowed. i think would allowed. i think it would encourage more responsible dog parenting to have parenting if they had to have a licence to say, you don't sound like lover to me. like a dog lover to me. >> actually, that's good. that's good too. julie sure , that's good. >> well , that's why i'm not >> well, that's why i'm not a fan of bureaucracy and i don't believe that they should be licenced i mean, they were abolished in 1987 for a reason. >> it just wasn't possible to police it . police it. >> they served no purpose. what i think should happen is the dangerous dog act of 1991, which was amended in 1997, needs to be re amended and it needs to further criminalise the owners of dangerous , dangerous breeds of dangerous, dangerous breeds and licence is cost money. >> it goes to the government . >> it goes to the government. what about the elderly who can't afford a licence? the homeless , afford a licence? the homeless, the homeless veterans who need the homeless veterans who need the dogs for the mental health? all these kind of people would be penalised because they couldn't afford licencing and there could be the dog lovers .
