street waiting at a bus stop of people who've been kidnapped. people with dead bodies, female bodies being abused . and it's bodies being abused. and it's and you know, watching the news there, i was glad that it was, you know reported as hamas terrorist organisation. that's what they are . you have other what they are. you have other news organisations , even though news organisations, even though hamas has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the uk since 2021, but they're still calling them , you know, and not calling them, you know, and not they are a genocide kill death cult and, and this is not about the, the, the whataboutery and there are people online trying to make apologies for it and compare it to ukraine. it's got nothing to do with that. they have gone out. they have targeted civilians . and there targeted civilians. and there are people celebrating in the street, celebrating online. it's a very hard thing to see as a jew because any you know, it's a very small community in this country. but every every jew here has relatives in israel,

has friends in israel, all of our friends, jewish friends also have you know, it's a very we're a small community in the uk. it's a small country. and . and it's a small country. and. and it's from here, as you say , it's it's from here, as you say, it's going to escalate. but hamas is a death cult and now israel has obviously there's been a massive failing in terms of intelligence and the security and just i guess i'm scared because already i had to explain to my kids this morning like going by what's happenedin morning like going by what's happened in the past and how it's represented in the media and this it's always hamas like firing bombs indiscriminately and civilians and then israel retaliating. and then there's big protests in the street. and then what do we have? like a year or two ago, we had men driving around north london with loudspeakers calling for the death and rape of jewish women and sisters and flags and whatnot. the are they in whatnot. by the way, are they in

jail? no so i'm having to explain my kids go to a jewish school, i provide security at that as a volunteer . and that school as a volunteer. and we're going to be on edge because israel is going to retaliate just like terrorist attacks in the uk , in london, attacks in the uk, in london, you know, and those people were were shot and killed. and people went, yeah, of course, these are people going out there murdering civilians. of course that's what's going to happen. and so it should so. so when israel it should be so. so when israel does retaliate as it is right as a sovereign nation, and then we're start you know, we're going to start you know, we're going to start you know, we're going to see protests and, you know, and these kind of things happen. jews were scared. and i'm telling my kids already today to be aware because , you today to be aware because, you know, you're going to go out and you're going to wear your school uniform. and there's a little hebrew writing on the pocket. they school they go to a jewish school and i'm scared for them, scared for them on the bus, on coming them being on the bus, on coming home, them being home, scared for them being attacked as we saw, jewish innocent teenagers attacked on hanukkah half ago. hanukkah a year and a half ago. nothing those people nothing again, those people never nothing again, those people nevwe just you know, we

>> we just you know, we sincerely that something is sincerely hope that something is done about this because this conflict has been going for on a very, long time and very, very long time now. and it's needs to be it is it's very it needs to be it is really complicated. i know people, viewers and listeners will understand the will struggle to understand the complexity we will complexity of it, and we will try of, know, try and sort of, you know, explain it throughout the show today well. josh, you today as well. josh, thank you very much for your thoughts. i'll funny. yeah. no, no, i'll be funny. yeah. no, no, we're being because, we're not being funny because, well, could laugh the well, you could laugh at the tory conference. lot of tory party conference. a lot of people been a bit of a people are. it's been a bit of a debacle with the hs2 thing. >> mean , people saw it coming. >> i mean, people saw it coming. it's a tricky one because chucking good money after bad, the overseas spend. i mean, the problem is that we have an inability in this country and i don't want to blame anyone for it, to be able to deliver on it, but to be able to deliver on these infrastructure projects, these necessary infrastructure projects. going projects. it was only going to benefit the north to be able to have kind of travel between have that kind of travel between those bring those travel times down. then course, the down. but then of course, the bills escalate and then there's already problems up there already problems up there already in terms of being able to from side of the to get from one side of the country to the other. and you

know, job a night job know, my day job is a night job as a comic. and we have to sort of travel and, you know, you have do these crazy journeys have to do these crazy journeys where to of come where you have to sort of come back down into london to get get back, back up again. it's crazy. so, course, that was going to so, of course, that was going to partly solve if this partly solve it. if this money is to towards helping is going to go towards helping alleviate that yeah cool. alleviate that issue. yeah cool. >> but although the last thing that called northern something was rock and that was northern rock and that became rock. he's became northern rock. he's created northern rail. luck created northern rail. good luck with one, rishi. also with that one, rishi. he's also put smoking you think put a smoking ban. do you think that's realistic? what? what's he thinking of? well, why is that? like what is the that? you know, like what is the like but like smoking is terrible, but it's i'm conflicted because i i've never tried a cigarette. >> i'm totally i loathe it. and people compare it to other things like i guess drinking or but smoking more than anything else does have an impact on other people. passive smoking , other people. passive smoking, whatever, even in the street, even walking past people. >> i hate that. yeah, i don't even like the vaping winds me up

as well. >> well, but at least the vaping doesn't kill you in doesn't literally kill you in the way as. but. but of the same way as. but. but of course then this whole idea of us living in a nanny state. but you've got to think how much also is this? how much does this cost non—smokers in terms of people? unfortunately getting sick, cancer? they're sick, getting cancer? they're ill. health that's costing our nhs costing all of us. >> yeah, but you know, it's funny that because we're sort of smoke smoke, smoke, the carbon monoxide as walking along, monoxide as i'm walking along, i'm because i'm all right with that because i'm all right with that because i smell but it's good. i can't smell it. but it's good. i can't smell it. but it's good. i know. it's terrible, isn't it? but what say, margaret but what about, say, margaret ferrier ? yeah, the scottish snp ferrier? yeah, the scottish snp mp. surprised she managed to mp. i'm surprised she managed to cling on for long. respect it i >> yeah. she was like, i'm going to get those. i'm going to get those expenses as long as humanly i know. it's amazing . humanly i know. it's amazing. but but that's but now , you but but that's but now, you know, i don't know if it was like the longer i stay in, the bigger sort of retirement fund or whatever. but yeah, it's but what a what a victory this week for, for labour. it's an

interesting to see people's different takes and tory mps are trying to sort of claim it as a victory for tories as well, like we supported. there were thousands of tory voters, but , thousands of tory voters, but, but yeah, this the one thing that i would say is that this does somewhat remove a a, an attack line for the tories to say if you vote for labour is a vote for the snp and that's a proof now that that's not going to be the case if it continues to be the case if it continues to that, then i think it's labour getting 42 seats. the snp getting six or something. >> i think it's quite okay. and actually more than to actually more than anything to with politics and the union with politics and, and the union and of this other stuff . and all of this other stuff. >> people just want to have >> if people just want to have their country be well run and that's that we've that's the failing that we've seen. that's the failing that we've seen . and i think that's what seen. and i think that's what people ultimately want to vote for. they it's all arguments about the different rate of taxes whatever. really, taxes and whatever. but really, we see the taxes we we want to see the taxes that we are contributing spent well. and i think that's unfortunately what we're not seeing. whether you have agree with tory ideology or not, but not

ideology or not, but you're not seeing that spent well. seeing that money spent well. >> we also want to see common sense.i >> we also want to see common sense. i think nicola sturgeon with reform sense. i think nicola sturgeon withthat reform sense. i think nicola sturgeon with that well, reform sense. i think nicola sturgeon withthat well, that reform sense. i think nicola sturgeon withthat well, that was reform sense. i think nicola sturgeon withthat well, that was theeform sense. i think nicola sturgeon withthat well, that was the end| and that well, that was the end for but then for her. absolutely. but then it's not mean, not just it's not i mean, it's not just that, though. i mean, the police i mean, i'm doing a monologue on it later about rape. they've it later about rape. and they've reported women who have reported rape women who have been the rapists, been who are the rapists, whereas be, you whereas a rape can only be, you know, by a man. yeah. so know, done by a man. yeah. so and the police are recording men as who have committed rape as women who have committed rape and surreal. as women who have committed rape anc it's surreal. as women who have committed rape anc it's 263 surreal. as women who have committed rape ancit's 263 rapes|rreal. as women who have committed rape ancit's 263 rapes have been >> it's 263 rapes have been reported as done by women. as you say, a penis needs to be involved and it's bad . it's bad involved and it's bad. it's bad on so many levels because and you see it and anybody who's been involved in this argument or engaged with this online has seen this happening over the last few years. and even seeing newspapers the way they report this stuff and they go a then they'll say there was a woman who raped somebody and you're like, no. and cfo of them. and it's just a it's a bloke. >> it's a bloke. a bloke in a

dress with a wig. >> yeah, basically. and then, of course, you have the victims who have being gaslit in court, having to talk about their victim as she. and you also victim as a she. and you also seeing sunlight, these seeing this sunlight, these massive spikes of women sexual abuse issues. and they're not they're men . they're men. the they're men. they're men. the men who were carrying this out. so on so many levels is wrong. and also suella braverman , to be and also suella braverman, to be fair, not a massive fan of hers, but she has called this out time and time again. have the police done anything? >> they still haven't. and >> no, they still haven't. and actually individual actually it's down to individual forces people forces as to whether people identify actual gender identify as their actual gender or as what gender they think they are. and finally, where do you shop? >> where do shop? >> where do you shop? >> where do you shop? >> shop. waitrose. >> oh, god, shop. waitrose. >> oh, god, shop. waitrose. >> oh, god, shop. waitrose. >> oh yeah, got a big >> tesco's. oh yeah, i got a big sainsbury's me. i saw that sainsbury's near me. i saw that sainsbury's near me. i saw that sainsbury's is more expensive. i can't, i cannot believe it. it is and also we shop at is true. and also we shop at marks because they is true. and also we shop at mathe because they is true. and also we shop at mathe old because they is true. and also we shop at mathe old yellow because they is true. and also we shop at mathe old yellow labels ause they is true. and also we shop at mathe old yellow labels reducedy items. >> we love all that. we love all that. josh howie when are you back on headliners tomorrow night that producing today, back on headliners tomorrow night iget producing today, back on headliners tomorrow night iget backwroducing today, back on headliners tomorrow night iget back tqucing today, back on headliners tomorrow night iget back to work. today, back on headliners tomorrow night iget back to work. thank so i'll get back to work. thank you very much. howie. he you very much. josh howie. he he's headliners later on

of views and perspectives that i and people that i knew had dewbs & co weeknights from . six

& co weeknights from. six >> good afternoon. it's just coming up to 23 minutes after 3:00. if you've just tuned in. welcome on board. we are gb news. this is the people's channel. i'm nana akua. now before the i was before the break i was discussing all about we had mock the week and lots of things that have been going on. let's see what you've been saying. lots and lots of is coming in. and lots of text is coming in. keep coming. keep them coming. vaiews@gbnews.uk do vaiews@gbnews.uk hmm. i will do some a moment, some of those in just a moment, but getting hot, hot, but it's getting hot, hot, hot, isn't it? it's lovely out there. i'm loving it. no heating on. it's great. but that's it's been great. but that's 2023. it's now on track to be the warmest on record . the warmest on record. temperatures this weekend could even reach a sweltering 27 c. thatis even reach a sweltering 27 c. that is according to the eu climate service. the world's september temperatures were the warmest ever, well, ever since 150 years last month was half a degree hotter than the previous on record that was set in 2020. and experts say that high emissions, as well as the el nino weather event, are causing temperatures to rise . so i'm temperatures to rise. so i'm joined now by meteorologistjim joined now by meteorologist jim dale and political commentator

lewis perry . let's start with lewis perry. let's start with you, jim dale. jim dale, you look like you're enjoying the sunshine. actually this ridiculously warm weather in the uk. he's in a t shirt. jim dale, are you loving it? i'm i'm loving it because you have to look at it. >> you have to look at some of the positives. i'm in this nice reflective white t shirt you're in your burning red, which might be day. uh, but be right for the day. uh, but remember, it's not everybody. >> scotland having a hard >> scotland is having a hard time the moment in the floods time at the moment in the floods and the incessant rain there, and the incessant rain up there, so. , look, i say this so. yeah, look, look, i say this as an absolute positive. not every part of climate change will be a negative. there are positives to be garnered, and i think to be honest with you, that's the direction of travel that's the direction of travel that we have to now embrace. we have to look fonnard . we have have to look fonnard. we have to go direction. so that we go in that direction. so that we look ourselves going look after ourselves going fonnard of it, fonnard and make the most of it, because here. because we're here. >> are saying that embrace >> are you saying that embrace the new, wonderful warm weather? he say that because he's he has to say that because he's in t shirt he has to say that because he's in tshirt in october. lois

yeah. >> well, the most interesting thing for me is that things that were dismissed literally a year ago, was on or for example, ago, if i was on or for example, bnan ago, if i was on or for example, brian cap was on, as you know, talking about el nino effects. and for example , the volcanic and for example, the volcanic volcanic eruption in tonga in 2022, which increased which basically all of the ocean into the atmosphere. and nasa even acknowledged that the 10% increase in water vapour had caused a considerable amount of warming. so if anyone had said these things last year, conspiracy theorists, it's all co2 emissions now. now, obviously it's having to be admitted. oh, there may be some other factors, but it's mainly climate change. what i'm seeing here is a rollback from rishi sunak , a rollback from all the sunak, a rollback from all the climate scientists, because it's becoming increasingly obvious that the narrative is just not rubbing with the british public orindeed rubbing with the british public or indeed the international pubuc or indeed the international public anymore, or perhaps with the truth. >> jim, is she right? no she's she's wrong. >> she's she's clutching at straws, to be honest with you, lois, we. i text you a little

while ago or we put it on twitter , didn't we? we said, twitter, didn't we? we said, let's see if we can find some agreement here. no, no, no. you said and we will. no, no, we might disagree on on the fundamental. let's just say fundamental. so let's just say that fundamentals of climate that the fundamentals of climate change, and change, the reasons why and wherefores. when you see the wherefores. but when you see the sort of temperatures that we're seeing spain at the moment, seeing in spain at the moment, in at the when in france at the moment, when we're the disasters that we're seeing the disasters that have year, have happened this year, yeah, you attach little bit to you can attach a little bit to el that's that's perfectly el nino. that's that's perfectly acceptable was 2016. acceptable as it was in 2016. same thing . but overriding all same thing. but overriding all of that is the climate change. but we have to start looking fonnard and saying, okay, so we're here. so if we're going to see 40 degree summers every summer, if we're going break summer, if we're going to break records that broke in june records that we broke in june and in the uk , and september in the uk, globally, hottest ever in globally, the hottest ever in july, globally , we have to start july, globally, we have to start thinking a different thing. so yeah, and we're in a white t shirt. and you know what we need to start painting our houses, particularly in the south of england. the colour white. >> why is that answer? >> so why is that your answer? jim to climate change or alleged climate change? need

climate change? you need to paint white and you paint your houses white and you say, clutching at straws. say, i'm clutching at straws. jesus. no, that's not. why jesus. well, no, that's not. why is that? >> i'm trying to trying to >> i'm trying to i'm trying to be practical and proactive in moving fonnard. moving moving fonnard. you're moving backwards reasons that backwards for the reasons that you've got. but i'm trying to say to you, even, even if you are correct in your in your assumption , but we still get 40 assumption, but we still get 40 degree summers, as we saw last yean degree summers, as we saw last year. we still have to move in the direction of making sure we stay alive, making sure we're safe, making sure economically we do the right things . soto we do the right things. so to roll backwards, to deny it that war has been lost, to make that absolutely clear, hold on, hold on. >> on. >> so what you're listening, as you're saying . you're saying you're saying. you're saying then that if the climate is getting warmer, we need to accommodate it. what we do to allow that we can live in this climate. so in other words, there'll probably be less air travel from the uk because we'll be staying at home because it's warmer and there'll less co2 warmer and there'll be less co2 from and emissions from boilers and emissions because we won't be using as much fuel warm our homes, much fuel to warm our homes,

which one the biggest which is one of the biggest emitters of co2. so surely the warming of the climate will change our behaviour and affect how we operate naturally anyway . have you factored that into your calculations? >> jim yeah, it is part of the equation. remember this nana we're only just starting out on this because of the arguments of whether climate climate change existed, whether it was manmade or it's been kind of slowed or not. it's been kind of slowed down. sun suddenly put the brakes on and gone into reverse. it'll be out in a year anyway, so will make no difference. so that will make no difference. the is that we must the point is, is that we must see where we are now recognise that and go fonnard and start to do the right thing. so and yes, if it means that we change our habits and we change our lifestyle to a certain degree, we don't need to fly to south of france anymore or the mediterranean countries. we can say it's going to be fine in belgium. so just nip across there. that's the direction of travel. it might not happen every single year, but that's where we're going. >> jim, we're not >> lois, jim, jim, we're not going nipping anywhere,

going to be nipping anywhere, according chums and the according to your chums and the green agenda , as you green agenda, as you know, stanley johnson there's stanley johnson said there's a national to stop us flying national plan to stop us flying and to stop us going anywhere near apart from him. that is . near apart from him. that is. and all people that are and all the people that are making decisions, making the decisions, there won't nipping anywhere or won't be any nipping anywhere or flying doing flying anywhere or doing anything about carbon credits. >> wasn't you talked >> wasn't he when you talked about. okay. about. yeah okay. >> whole agenda passe in >> but the whole agenda passe in terms you talking about terms of you talking about accommodating climate change, you talking about rolling you you're talking about rolling back or you seem to be the one that's rolled back. jim talking about not harming the economy , about not harming the economy, talking about adaption, adapt, adapt , as talking about adaption, adapt, adapt, as opposed. no, you're the one be listening to me. you've been listening to me, haven't you, no. haven't you, jim? no no. >> yeah. look, listen , it's not >> yeah. look, listen, it's not a of listening you, jim. a case of listening to you, jim. it's a case of. it's. it's a case of making. making a right angle turn from what you're saying. um. saying. but um. >> gone. that's fair >> oh, he's gone. that's fair enough anyway. yeah, because he was agreeing with you. >> anyway, his wi fi was powered by, you know, like, windmills or something. >> so it's gone off or maybe powered the which you powered by the sun, which you should have plenty of.

solidarity with israel . people solidarity with israel. people here who always want to condemn them should remember there are states that wish to wipe israel off the map. disgusting paul says. since we have not heard one word from the palestinians illegally occupied by israel , i illegally occupied by israel, i take it israel is now an innocent victim. and leon says, what do you get when you push people to their breaking point? you get what you deserve. israel have taken more and more liberties with impunity and without condemnation abroad , a without condemnation abroad, a blind eye is turned towards israel, probably because our politicians have pledged allegiance. i wish hamas the best of luck against a tyrannical cohabitants and hopefully peace and a bit more respect comes out of it. right? well, okay, so those are some of the emails. it's been a very heavy weekend of politics as well to keep them coming. vaiews@gbnews.com of course, we show sides the argument. show all sides of the argument. october has kicked off with the usual conference season. usual party conference season. the liberal democrats and conservatives have both now held theirs. greens have just theirs. the greens have just held their conference in

brighton weekend brighton and this weekend reforms conference is getting undennay in london, whilst labour's conference is getting undennay liverpool. here's undennay in liverpool. here's what farage, who what it was. nigel farage, who was speaking a short while ago at the reform conference. >> he did not even mention echr. let us be clear the european convention on human rights backed up by its court in strasbourg , staffed by men and strasbourg, staffed by men and women who in most cases have no legal training. what so ever. and i want to be clear that reform uk will stand at the next election in clearly and unequivocally as the party that wants the process of brexit to be complete . and that means be complete. and that means getting back control of our borders and our judiciary. we will leave the echr of farage earlier at the reform conference, he also confirmed that he wasn't he wasn't joining the conservative party any time soon. >> well, tom hannood has been with reform this morning and is now up to liverpool. now heading up to liverpool. well, felt filed this

well, he he felt filed this report for us earlier . report for us earlier. >> the party is gathering >> the reform party is gathering here today ahead of a seismic year for the successor movement to the brexit party. they know that there are two large electoral tests coming up. first, the local and indeed london elections in may and then an expected general election, perhaps in the autumn. these are two seismic events . and in two seismic events. and in geanng two seismic events. and in gearing up for these events, the reform uk party is going through a bit of a rebrand today. it's been announced that the logo of the party has added three magic words to the bottom of it . no words to the bottom of it. no longer does it say just reform uk. it now says reform uk. the brexit party. clearly this is a party that wants to remind individuals of its precessing movement. the party that won the european elections back in 2019. a party with significantly higher name recognition than

reform uk. so clearly this is a party that means business when it comes to electing individuals and making a showing in those polls. 8. as things stand, talking to people here at this conference, they believe their polling rating can go higher. but clearly, as we head towards general election time, it's going to be a squeeze generally , the larger parties tend to suck up more time, more attention and more votes. it will be a battle for attention and a battle for air time for reform uk as we head towards those electoral events . those electoral events. >> well, tom hannood speaking earlier, but it's now time for political spotlight and it is, of course, the biggest story of the day. israel under attack. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has declared we are at war after a surprise attack seen hundreds of rockets hit the nafion hundreds of rockets hit the nation from gaza. now the attack comes from islamist military group hamas. and according to

medical officials, medical officials , 198 palestinians have officials, 198 palestinians have been killed in israel following air attacks launched on gaza with a further 900 people injured. and disturbingly yet to be verified. videos have been circulating, only allegedly showing palestinians taking civilians captive, taking them hostage . now, the attacks have hostage. now, the attacks have been universally condemned by most western leaders. however it is believed that iran has supported them . and it's a very supported them. and it's a very dramatic escalation that has rocked the region . joining me rocked the region. joining me now is defence editor of the evening standard, robert fox. robert welcome. thank you very much for joining robert welcome. thank you very much forjoining me. so for much for joining me. so for those who don't understand what this is all about, can you sort of give us a summary of what it's all about and what it is, gaza, the gaza strip ? gaza, the gaza strip? >> strip is one of the >> the gaza strip is one of the most populated on most heavily populated areas on planet 2.2 in a planet earth, 2.2 million in a rather squalid , talking about rather squalid, talking about physically, naturally strip of land and conditions are getting worse. >> there . >> there. >> there. >> it was occupied by israel

after the 67 six—day war and israel finally got out. it was just too hot to handle with all the militants and the difficulties there. in 2005. but since then there have been four major actions, four and a half, whatever . and now this is the whatever. and now this is the fifth, involving militants pushing out, saying you cannot have a stranglehold because at times it's been virtually under siege because israel and egypt in the south, but particularly israel, has controlled what goes in and out. but there it's run by hamas, as you say, who won elections in 2005, pledged to democracy, no elections to speak of since then. and they from time to time play the guerrilla military , some would call it military, some would call it terrorist card. and they've doing it again. why they've done it now is particularly very interesting. and they certainly caught israel asleep at the wheel as far as their intelligence services were

concerned . 2500 rockets were concerned. 2500 rockets were launched at and made incursions in dozens of places. right out of the strip into israel proper. >> well, robert, stay with me , >> well, robert, stay with me, but i'm going to turn now to performer and illusionist uri geller, who is live in tel aviv now to give us the latest on what's happening on the ground. uri, thank you so much for joining me. thank you so much, jerry, for joining me. joining me. thank you so much, jerry, forjoining me. so you're jerry, for joining me. so you're live there in tel aviv. can you tell us what's been going on? what's what what's what's happening? what what's what's and atmosphere what's the energy and atmosphere like moment? like at the moment? at yeah, okay. like at the moment? at yeah, oka nana and robert, thank you >> nana and robert, thank you very much for inviting me on to show, you know, you're probably following the news. i'm on the roof of my apartment building and the situation so far is that it has been reported that . over it has been reported that. over 100 israelis were killed by terrorists. they were murdered . terrorists. they were murdered. over 1000 are injured . and gaza over 1000 are injured. and gaza is that way north of israel . is

is that way north of israel. is there many people, i understand, were kidnapped there, still shooting going on in certain cities in israel . the attacks cities in israel. the attacks started early this morning. i was awakened up by cyrus behind me as you can see, is tel aviv. if i can pan the camera right now, there's nobody outside . the now, there's nobody outside. the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu , who declared that netanyahu, who declared that israel is at war and i if you ask me, i see as a colossal failure of the israeli intelligence, which is , you intelligence, which is, you know, considered to be the best in the world. we were surprised. and this is where we are now . and this is where we are now. >> it's frightening. so they literally came across the border in their droves. i mean, were they thousands of them? were they thousands of them? were they thousands of them? were they thousands of them coming across ? across? >> no, not thousands. but they

came through the air in drones as they came with vehicles and they came through the sea. what is mind blowing is that all those settlements right next to the border , there were they were the border, there were they were vulnerable . well, where were vulnerable. well, where were they? where were they? where was they? where were they? where was the army? it was just it just i was just so shocked to see big tractors kind of toppling down the wall. that is between the border and the settlements . and border and the settlements. and then there was a rush of terrorists in vehicles , and they terrorists in vehicles, and they started, you know , many, many started, you know, many, many people, maybe even children, were kidnapped. and taken into gaza. were kidnapped. and taken into gaza . so the situation is not gaza. so the situation is not good. but we can handle everything. and i'm sure this war will be won. >> listen, uri, it's absolutely abhorrent. we are watching here

from the uk and my heart goes out to you and those the people that are there where you are, you're not close to the action of what's going on. but are people around you worried about this ? this? >> oh, first of all, let me tell you something. in israel, there is nothing not close to the action. i mean, i look down there when rockets were flying into tel aviv this morning and into tel aviv this morning and into holon and bat yam and sderot and ashkelon , you can sderot and ashkelon, you can hear the explosions and you can hear the explosions and you can hear the explosions and you can hear the iron dome taking taking down the incoming rockets. so now we the i think i'm just guessing now, but with the flight of a plane, it takes minutes to be in the over the gaza border. so people around mainly in my opinion in there are stunned by the surprise attack stunned today i believe it's the 50th anniversary to the

yom kippur war, if i'm not mistaken . and we were surprised mistaken. and we were surprised there. and then and now we are surprised again. i feel i'm furious . i'm bewildered. i'm sad furious. i'm bewildered. i'm sad for the people who were murdered and killed and the families out there suffering. they're still terrorists in the settlements . terrorists in the settlements. and the israeli commando units are now going door to door trying to release and save those trapped in their own homes . trapped in their own homes. >> as uri geller , thank you so >> as uri geller, thank you so much for taking time out to talk to me. i really appreciate you doing that. you take care of yourself and thank you and god bless people are bless all the people that are there. thank so much. that there. thank you so much. that is . he's there live is uri geller. he's there live in tel aviv . joining me now, of in tel aviv. joining me now, of course, is robert he's course, is robert fox. he's there in studio. of course, we hear uri. what's you know, hear from uri. what's you know, what the people what is happening and the people on the ground. what's the feeling saying that feeling there? he's saying that they the now going in they have the army now going in and find and trying to find these terrorists . how do you see this terrorists. how do you see this sort of progressing or changing?

what do you see as a well as uri and you said in your introduction that netanyahu has declared war. >> what happens is that israel declares a military operation and this is called iron swords . and this is called iron swords. but what uri illustrate noted so clearly is they don't really know. they haven't got a complete picture at all. they don't know exactly where. there are reports . and it does seem are reports. and it does seem that they used hang gliders . that they used hang gliders. they used they used . some thing they used they used. some thing like fast boats, small boats to get on the beaches. how many they were, where they've got because there have been reports of fighting and rumours for more than 2 or 3 dozen places . so than 2 or 3 dozen places. so it's not clear the figure we have, as you say, from the palestinian medical authority in gaza city itself, 198 have been killed. but the picture on the israeli side, which must be terribly worrying, it's still very fluid. it's still the early hours, relatively speaking , of

hours, relatively speaking, of what looks like being quite, quite a long and very difficult month ahead, and that they don't know where everybody is. let's come back to uri's main point. this has been a huge intelligence failure. yeah, israeli intelligence with sensors . and eavesdropping sensors. and eavesdropping equipment and so on is brilliant. i've actually seen it right up to the gaza strip . i've right up to the gaza strip. i've beenin right up to the gaza strip. i've been in the gaza strip several times, not particularly recently, but i saw them laying out the sensors, blocking the tunnels. it's no good if you don't have human intelligence since nobody really told them . since nobody really told them. it was nobody. nobody was informed what the what the hamas command was. >> but maybe there was some sort of this is just my thoughts that for something like that to go and be planned. you know, and be planned. so, you know, strategically and no one to know feels like would be almost feels like there would be almost some people on the inside, some sort i'm not sort of inside job. i'm not saying that that's just my view listening a listening to it. there's such a big operation that weren't big operation that they weren't able their wonderful able with all their wonderful technological advances to be

able to even spot or trace . able to even spot or trace. there must have been some. >> no, you've got have >> no, you've got to have sleepers. got have sleepers. you've got to have people, which israel used people, which which israel used to always used to them. to always used to have them. there's no sign of there's absolutely no sign of it. this time. but it is very important because israel , important because israel, although a very young nation state, is of great tradition and it remembers, you know, the war of independence, 47, 48, when it became a nation and this terrible failure, 50 years ago, the so—called yom kippur war. well, ten days ago, we had a bit more yom kippur, the festival of the feast of atonement, where everything shuts down and you reflect for a day if you're of the jewish faith and somehow the palestinians seemed to sense we may be able to do it again. there had been rage. there's been a lot of violence over the past few weeks . actually. it's past few weeks. actually. it's one of the statements that came from look, 247 from hamas is, look, 247 palestine persons have been killed and over 40 israelis to

oh two foreign nationals as it's been ramping up and ramping up andits been ramping up and ramping up and it's very interesting why hamas, which is in gaza and then you get the palestinians on the west bank, which is governed by a different authority. the palestinian authority there, they're divided, but president abbas in ramallah on the west bank has said on the whole, we support you. we are in the very early stages of this . what early stages of this. what israel will not want to do is to go back into gaza . they'll have go back into gaza. they'll have to an extent, but to occupy it again, israeli soldiers hated that experience. and it was very, very difficult. >> well, robert, stay with me throughout the show. we'll come back to you and keep getting updates on that. but lots of you have been getting in touch. plenty opinions plenty of fiery opinions in the inbox. a look inbox. let's have a quick look at what you've been saying. some on party they on the reform party as they kicked conference kicked off their conference today. reform uk have

minutes after 4:00. this is gb news. i'm nana akua. we're live on tv online and on digital radio. i'd like to call this one.the radio. i'd like to call this one. the truce may hurt, but illusion is more damaging in the latest nonsense that has become synonymous with extreme gender ideology . rapists have been ideology. rapists have been wrongly labelled as women by police. how can that happen? i hear you ask when the crime of rape can only be perpetrated by a biological man. then of course. anna bryson. or should we say rapist? adam graham spnngs we say rapist? adam graham springs to mind. no sooner had snp leader nicola sturgeon poo poohed the idea of anyone ever taking advantage of her gender recognition reform bill, which would have made it easier for people to identify as another gender when in fact, she called her and her opponents racist and other names. adam graham names. rapist adam graham appeared on the scene and did what was obvious to everyone apart from would appear, apart from it would appear, nicola, his gender nicola, and changed his gender to female so he could wind up in a which is a female jail, which is ridiculous . a female jail, which is ridiculous. he's a rapist. nicola lost the last thin shred

of credibility that she had. no one could take her seriously after that, she resigned and humza yousaf took over, in my view, foolishly following the same dogma. so after all that, you would think that the police and those involved directly with law enforcement would act quickly to ensure such a ridicule situation could never happen again . but figures happen again. but figures obtained with a freedom of information act showed that isla bryson is just the tip of the iceberg and that over the past four years, as 260 females have been charged with rape. now i repeat the crime of rape can only be perpetrated by a biological man . and if the 209 biological man. and if the 209 have been recorded as unknown sex, which includes those who define themselves as non—binary, what a load of tosh and research by keep prisons single sex that's cpzs show that in 2022. so last year of the 26 forces 22 recorded sex based on person's gender identity with 20 doing this on the basis of how the

person chose to identify dr. kate coleman from the organisation said if these are men being recorded as women, then these victims have had the most gut wrenching, visceral and accurate experience of the person's sex registered at birth . to have that dressed up as actually no, that is a woman is actually no, that is a woman is a complete betrayal. suella braverman called for common sense policing and she said not only is this wrong because a woman cannot legally be a rapist, but also it's grossly insensitive and it's insulting to the victims of rape who are biological women . that's not to biological women. that's not to say that men can't be raped by other men. but how must the victim of this crime feel heanng victim of this crime feel hearing that her male rapist or his male rapist is actually a woman? it makes a mockery of the system, suella told the telegraph that in no instance was it biologically or legally right for a rapist to be described as a she . but despite described as a she. but despite home office pressure for police to use biological gender, it's

actually down to each individual force to decide how they record this, which obviously creates false data . so here it is in false data. so here it is in plain sight. the problems we face if we continue down the gender path , where we attempt to gender path, where we attempt to disassociate biological sex from gender and it's playing out before our very eyes, some may think that there are bigger issues, but to me, this is one of the biggest that i, as a woman, must address continuously to protect my hard fought rights . and this piranha like attack a series of small nibbles which have ignored become a big bite must be stopped before a chunk of my rights. disentis great. the may hurt , but illusion the truth may hurt, but illusion is more damaging . so before is far more damaging. so before we get stuck into the debate, here's what else is coming up today for the great british debate. this hour, i'm asking has keir starmer killed the has the keir starmer killed the dream independence dream of scottish independence with thumping victory for with a thumping victory for labourin with a thumping victory for labour in rutherglen, where where, of course, margaret ferrier lost her seat for

travelling on a train when she had and she knew about it had covid and she knew about it . that by—election should send shockwaves snp. shockwaves throughout the snp. could grip on power and could their grip on power and push independence be push for independence be slipping? and then around 430 this labour leader this afternoon, labour leader sir starmer is set open sir keir starmer is set to open the labour party conference alongside his chancellor, alongside his shadow chancellor, rachel we'll be bringing rachel reeves. we'll be bringing you the latest on that, plus , as you the latest on that, plus, as israel prime minister benjamin you the latest on that, plus, as israel primwdeclares r benjamin you the latest on that, plus, as israel primwdeclares r becountry netanyahu declares the country is at war. we'll have the latest updates on palestine's surprise attacks on gaza. stay tuned at five. it's this week's difficult conversation. i always struggle to say that breast cancer, sadly, most common sadly, it's the most common cancer in the uk, accounting for 15% of all new cancer cases . and 15% of all new cancer cases. and october this month is breast cancer awareness month. so i'll be joined by reality star rachel lugo to hear about her story of losing three generations of her family to cancer. that's coming up the next hour. aslef, tell up in the next hour. aslef, tell me what think of everything me what you think of everything we're discussing. email gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at . gb

gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at. gb news. right. let's get started. let's welcome again to my panel reform uk spokeswoman for education and family. but linda de lucy and also political commentator matthew la la la. well, i've just got to say that because we don't have the lovely lizzy cundy because her mum fell over when she was dancing to a bit of frank sinatra. said she shouldn't have done that. she told her mum put gloria, we love you and we hope you get well. absolutely. >> get well soon. >> get well soon. >> gloria, i sent i send to lizzie a message last night saying naughty fabulous saying naughty but fabulous like mother , like daughter. mother, like daughter. >> i love it. >> i love it. >> i love it. >> i love it . aslef so, lizzie, >> i love it. aslef so, lizzie, we look fonnard to seeing you hopefully next week. and bob and gloria better soon. please gloria get better soon. please right. so now i want to talk to you about of creep of you about this sort of creep of this little ideology nibbling and nibbling and nibbling away this little ideology nibbling anourbbling and nibbling away this little ideology nibbling anour rights and nibbling away this little ideology nibbling an our rights that nibbling away this little ideology nibbling an our rights that nibias1g away this little ideology nibbling an our rights that nibias women at our rights that we as women don't a track on it. this don't keep a track on it. this could well, this could be quite a serious thing. but linda. oh i think it's deeply concerning. >> i mean, a movement that prioritises his a rapists

well—being above the safety and dignity of rape victims is a very , very sinister movement as very, very sinister movement as far as i'm concerned. >> it's gone way too far. this is the problem with self—id. and let's be honest, men have been dressing up in in female clothes since time began. they've been wearing lace frills, wearing dresses, lace frills, make hair. many even make up long hair. many even invented the high heels. women took that off. the men know that . yes. so it's no. no one cares how you dress or how you identify. for live your identify. go for it. live your life. the recent demand to life. but the recent demand to access women and girls protections for the mental well—being of men , some men, i well—being of men, some men, i think, is one of the most scandalous things that has happened to women's rights in my lifetime. and the fact that it's coming from the top down, it's infiltrating schools. our public sector and the conservative government have been asleep at the wheel and they've let this infection poison our public sector. where you get to the point where if you're a victim of rape, my god, it's hard enough to get a charge card. and

then only 1% of charges end in conviction. and then you have to face the risk vaulting conviction. and then you have to face tithat's risk vaulting conviction. and then you have to face tithat's been: vaulting conviction. and then you have to face tithat's been doneting conviction. and then you have to face tithat's been done to; conviction. and then you have to face tithat's been done to you , crime that's been done to you, which essentially a very male which is essentially a very male crime. have to see this crime. and you have to see this man addressed as a woman in court it a total insult and court. it is a total insult and it's a scandal. i think it's a scandal. and i think historians will back on historians will look back on this and say, this period of time and say, shame on our governments, our politicos . remember, it's politicos. remember, it's newspapers they all newspapers as well. they all call women. they all submit call them women. they all submit to this gender when to this gender ideology. when self—id not law in england , self—id is not law in england, they they're all part of the problem. and i think i'm so happy you called it out. >> nana thank belinda. but >> nana thank you, belinda. but matthew your party matthew lazar, it's your party who couldn't identify what a woman was and eventually the struggle briefly. he's now very clear. no rachel reeves also went on it as well. she went on about it as well. she was going it and quite was going on about it and quite a others . we've also got the a few others. we've also got the issue with rosie duffield, who got for potentially got in trouble for potentially saying women have cervix saying that women have a cervix or agreeing. >> but i'm very glad that rosie remains labour remains very much a labour mp. but, but the party didn't but, but, but the party didn't support i can't see support her so i can't see labour being better on labour being much better on this. look, i whatever the this. well, look, i whatever the wider issue is, this is

absolutely scandalous. mean, absolutely scandalous. i mean, i mean, all agree on mean, i think we all agree on this isn't the case this because this isn't the case of police doing what they're of the police doing what they're told following the law. told to do following the law. this is the police making up their own law. well, they're choosing they're choosing choosing to. they're choosing to because , because because, as you say, rape crime that can only be rape is a crime that can only be committed biological male. committed by a biological male. the absolute clear on the law is absolute clear on that. and it's not even like this is a this this is a confused area to do with people who have legally trans sinned and who committed rape. this is just anybody who self ids in a police station. i mean, this is literally this is people who don't have to any history don't have to have any history of they just literally of self id, they just literally decide at the police station that and that they are going to. and that's nonsense. know , i that's nonsense. you know, i think all three of us are against vast against self id the vast majority the british majority of the british people are self id and labour are against self id and labour is against self id at westminster. >> but it was a bit weak though of keir starmer to not be. i mean, that's a serious issue for me. why? i'd like to hear his policies. he seems to be mirroring that rishi policies. he seems to be mirrori is that rishi policies. he seems to be mirrori is doing. that rishi policies. he seems to be mirrori is doing. to hat rishi policies. he seems to be mirroriis doing. to merishi policies. he seems to be mirroriis doing. to me it'si sunak is doing. soto me it's more well, what does he more now, well, what does he stand for? and he he he stood

there got in there for two years. he got in a mess . years. mess. years. >> he got in a mess. look i think the best he got in a mess. i think the person who did it best is wes streeting our best is wes streeting is our health who was health spokesperson, who was very that a is, very clear that what a man is, what woman then very what a woman is, and then very clear that some people have legally from to legally transitioned from one to the they born the other, but they weren't born biologically. the other, but they weren't born biologicaleven if you rape, >> but if even if you have rape, if man legally if a if a man legally transitions to being a woman and he goes to commit the he still goes on to commit the most male crimes you can imagine, do you do you believe that they should still be addressed as a woman or do you think that right should be taken away? because clearly, if you think like a woman, you're not away? because clearly, if you think toe a woman, you're not away? because clearly, if you think to rape? man, you're not away? because clearly, if you thirright.ape? man, you're not away? because clearly, if you thirright. ape? man, know,�* not away? because clearly, if you thirright.ape? man, know, i'm. >> right. look, you know, i'm obviously i think it is obviously a bloke. i think it is a very, very, difficult a very, very, very difficult i mean, think we're actually i'm mean, i think we're actually i'm not sure we've ever had a case yet, of anybody who yet, thankfully, of anybody who has having has legally transitioned having been guilty. the people that we saw. scotland. et saw. the guy in scotland. et cetera. who cetera. they are all people who self—identify the police self—identify down the police station no legal basis. station with no legal basis. and the doing the police need to be doing a much , much better job. nana much, much better job. but nana we communities is clear this. >> keir flip flops all the time. he says what he thinks the

voters want hear on any given voters want to hear on any given moment. heard he moment. we've heard what he believes is believes a woman is, which is some mumble sort of. he some mumble jumbled sort of. he says clearer now. says he's clearer now. >> human female. says he's clearer now. >> sorry. human female. says he's clearer now. >> sorry. excuse human female. says he's clearer now. >> sorry. excuse me.1an female. says he's clearer now. >> sorry. excuse me. he female. says he's clearer now. >> sorry. excuse me. he has ale. >> sorry. excuse me. he has clearer now. >> was to. he's trying >> he was trying to. he's trying to voters not because to appeal to voters not because he's suddenly had a change of conscience. >> and this is what i'm worried about with keir. he'll get into power because lot of labour power because a lot of labour party, parliamentary party, party, his parliamentary party, totally elf idea. totally supports elf idea. >> do and some very >> some do and some are very much against it. >> some do and some are very mu back,|inst it. >> some do and some are very mu back, back t. >> some do and some are very mu back, back into it. you never >> back, back into it. you never supported rosie, the british public, the majority of the british rosie have >> i mean, rosie does have supporters in the parliament, but of the british but the majority of the british pubuc but the majority of the british public it. public don't support it. absolutely it'll public don't support it. ab:something it'll public don't support it. ab:something 90 it'll public don't support it. ab:something 90 something% be something like 90 something% >> we're absolutely >> i think we're absolutely what concerns in concerns me is that those in power are living in some sort of bubble where, know, and bubble where, you know, and potentially if keir starmer gets in what a woman is in his idea of what a woman is and others in his party won't change, i promise well change, i promise you. well are you sure? >> absolutely >> because he's absolutely everything. got everything. look, he's even got his own. >> i think. i think look, i'm somebody with the leader somebody who sat with the leader of party, couple of of the labour party, a couple of leaders many a and leaders ago in many a tv and radio worked radio studio was that i worked for miliband. was his head for ed miliband. i was his head of broadcasting. so, you know,

christys on gb news and gb news . radio get into power but you will bannau after 4:00. welcome on board. if you've just tuned in, this is gb news. we are the people's channel. i'm nana akua now following labour's victory in rutherglen and hamilton west by—election with a 20.4% swing against the snp's scott islands. first minister humza yousaf has conceded it was a disappointing

result for his party and he says that the buck stops with him. so keir starmer has hailed what he called his party's seismic victory by saying they blew the doors off. so what does this actually mean for the cause of scottish independence? and what about those poor scottish conservatives whose candidate lost his deposit after winning . lost his deposit after winning. just 3.9% of the vote? so it's time for the great british debate this hour. and i'm asking, has sir keir starmer killed the dream of scottish independence ? well, i'm joined independence? well, i'm joined now political commentator now by political commentator benedict peter benedict spence and peter spencer and also scottish conservative for ettrick conservative msp for ettrick roxburgh and berkshire bennickshire rachel hamilton. rachel, i said it all badly. how can you say it for me? nicely >> it's yes, roxboro and bennickshire. so it's ettrick roxburgh and bennickshire. it's a bit of a mouthful. >> so. so rachel, then talk to me about this then. you are the msp for that region. you're the conservative msp as well. this is disappointing for the conservative party or is it kind

of what you expected anyway? it's kind of what we expected. >> we knew that it would be a fight between in the main labour and the snp and you know, well done to michael shanks. >> it's great to see the seat taken away from the snp, but this of course was a central belt seat. >> it's always gone between in the labour party and the snp right from the days in the 1967 with winnie ewing and then of course taken back by labour in 1970 and it's continued to be like that . even jeremy corbyn's like that. even jeremy corbyn's candidate . in 2019 won that seat candidate. in 2019 won that seat for labour . candidate. in 2019 won that seat for labour. so candidate. in 2019 won that seat for labour . so yes candidate. in 2019 won that seat for labour. so yes , candidate. in 2019 won that seat for labour . so yes , thomas kerr for labour. so yes, thomas kerr is an excellent candidate , but is an excellent candidate, but we've got plenty of seats to go at across scotland where there is a two way fight between us and the snp and we will absolutely take the fight to them across scotland from the northeast , aberdeenshire, northeast, aberdeenshire, perthshire down in the borders right across to ayrshire , and right across to ayrshire, and we've seen some really

significant by—election wins in local council elections recently that we can certainly build upon i >> well, benedict spence , this >> well, benedict spence, this is a good result in a sense because it means that if labour have a stronger hold now, it could suggest the end of independence because labour party are more for keeping the union together . union together. >> it is, can i just say actually i'm delighted to be on, on a panel with the msp for roxburgh and bennickshire. >> it's my favourite place in scotland. go on holiday there every kelso . it's every year to kelso. it's honestly i think part of the problem with all of this is scottish nationalism. just sort of broadly. i think it acts as a bit of a reaction to toryism and you've got a strong tory party in westminster or at the very least a weak labour party in westminster . westminster. >> you see, you begin to see the sort of the support for scottish nationalism, scottish independence and i think independence go up and i think what this is, is it's just a diametric reaction to that. >> diametric reaction to the >> the diametric reaction to the weakness of the tories in westminster, but also to the snp

in, in holyrood . and you know, in, in holyrood. and you know, just broadly speaking, neither party is doing particularly well. >> ergo, it's not really surprising to see labour sort of sweeping into that it sweeping back into seats that it would expect to be winning if it did want majority. did want a majority. >> can you know, >> so you can say, you know, this this is perhaps sign this is this is perhaps a sign of taking the sting out of labour taking the sting out of labour taking the sting out of scottish independence . of scottish independence. >> but mark my words, if the labour party gets into power and then a good job, then doesn't do a very good job, you'll see the support you'll start to see the support for nationalists begin to for the nationalists begin to rise again. >> and i think that that's the way to look at it. i don't think scottish nationalism is the strongest the strongest of ideologies in the world. labour world. it exists when labour leaves that power vacuum i >> peter spencer well it's worth remembering that up until 2015, scotland was labour heartlands at that point the snp of course more or less annihilated them and there is very , very rich and there is very, very rich pickings here as far as keir starmer is concerned, remember there's some 40 seats at play here which indeed could be his

passport to number 10. >> so of course he's going to fight it hard and he's got that residual support. also fight it hard and he's got that residual support . also factor fight it hard and he's got that residual support. also factor in the fact that the star of the of the fact that the star of the of the snp has clearly waned and the snp has clearly waned and the problem that arose over its finance which is still lurking in the background hasn't gone away . and indeed nicola sturgeon away. and indeed nicola sturgeon who was the great pin up girl is she's no longer the leader . and she's no longer the leader. and it's sad to say, i'm sure humza yousaf is a lovely chap, but it has to be said, unfortunately , has to be said, unfortunately, that the term useless does rather all too easily off the tongue . i mean is a bit unkind. tongue. i mean is a bit unkind. i know, but there is one. there is one other point at play here. thank you for laughing. i do. i love hearing people laugh at my jokes. anyway, um , there's one jokes. anyway, um, there's one other factor at play here, which is brexit. now, the scotland voted to remain , but since then, voted to remain, but since then, of course it has been the damage to the british economy inflicted

by not being in the single market. it has become very apparent , market. it has become very apparent, and i suggest i wonder whether a fair number of scottish people are thinking , scottish people are thinking, well, hang on a minute, the united kingdom is also a sort of it's also a sort of a single market. do we really want to let that go ? maybe not. so i'm that go? maybe not. so i'm suggesting well, i can't quite let you get away with all of that because we are a faster growing economy than france and germany the moment . germany at the moment. >> no, no. but that's that's just how it's looking. and we have grown faster than those nafions have grown faster than those nations since we've eu nations since we've left the eu . whilst, you say . and whilst, you know, you say that, but there are also benefits . so i don't know benefits. so i don't know whether that you know scotland might stay away, might have wanted to stay away, but looking at it now, i think a lot of people are just going to want to get on with things. yes, i'm going to come back to you , i'm going to come back to you, rachel. oh, rachel , very briefly rachel. oh, rachel, very briefly then i've got to go to the news. sorry rachel. i've talked too much. peter spencer, thank you so much. benedict spence and rachel hamilton, thank you very much forjoining me. i appreciate right. is

was just really horrible. and that's the sort of politics was just really horrible. and that'that the sort of politics was just really horrible. and that'that tiin sort of politics was just really horrible. and that'that tiin sort way olitics that that is in any way progressive. i think that progressive. and i think that showed the nasty side the showed the nasty side of the snp. scottish snp. and i think the scottish people woken to the fact people have woken up to the fact that it's not about that that it's not about independence, about independence, it's not about blaming uk, it's blaming the rest of the uk, it's about right for about doing the right thing for scotland. great to see scotland. so it's great to see scottish . it's great scottish labour back. it's great to because some of to see, i mean because some of a lot of those voters who voted labour on thursday in rutherglen will people who voted will be will be people who voted for independence the for independence because the math just says that. and it's good to see that people who voted are voted for independence are putting above that putting other things above that when to the when they choose to put the cross their party on cross next to their party on a ballot paper. >> people say that >> some people would say that the the snp thrived the reason why the snp thrived so actually failure so much was actually a failure of party because of the labour party because that's votes went. that's where all the votes went. no scottish person, most scottish vote scottish people won't vote conservative anyway, no conservative anyway, so it's no surprise because. yeah, so absolutely i'm a failure. >> you're right. and look, a scottish labour's looked very long itself i can long and hard at itself i can tell you there's the soul searching has prolonged and searching has been prolonged and deep the reason deep because the only reason when 40 enemies to when you go from 40 enemies to one, you do realise that you've done one, you do realise that you've dor if one, you do realise that you've dorif nicola sturgeon little >> if nicola sturgeon, little cranky, with her

cranky, hadn't come out with her ridiculous gender recognition reform bill, we would probably still with the snp. still be there with the snp. linda yeah , i think i'm linda belinda yeah, i think i'm so for the scottish people so happy for the scottish people because there's such a stoic bunch nonsense acas you bunch of no nonsense acas you know, historically it genius human beings i say, is my mum's scottish, my husband's scottish. >> i knew there was absolutely i couldn't believe that they suddenly had this wishy washy she woke obsessed gender obsessed snp government that was so scottish to me . so i'm so scottish to me. so i'm pleased for them that the snp are on their way out. i'll be interested to see how alex salmond's party does. he salmond's alba party does. he might be rubbing his hands with glee because of course they're a pro—independence party. he said. set up in 2021 and it doesn't have the stain of nicola sturgeon with him. whether this will late to a big will translate late to a big sort of labour majority in scotland is another question because of course you've the because of course you've got the north—east scotland where gas north—east of scotland where gas and oil is hugely popular and all the polling up there is huge majority supportive of the gas and oil industry and the

economic benefit. now labour's proposals to not renew any more gas and oil licences will be economically ruinous for the north—east of scotland and will get rid of tens of thousands of jobs. so they'll have to think carefully. >> it's not not to renew, it's not to extend oh, not to extend existing ones. >> you're still minimising. >> you're still minimising. >> yeah, yeah, absolutely. and some people argue against that, but just bearing in mind butjustjust bearing in mind the screen transition that everyone funded hugely everyone wants is funded hugely by the energy companies. >> you, you keep >> so if you, if you keep minimising them, not minimising them, they're not going to money going to have enough to money i personally and the unions are in favour more allowing favour of allowing more allowing new so it's still a live new fields so it's still a live debate. >> but as you say at the moment, the policy is interesting, but i'm unionist. i'm glad keir is a unionist. >> a unionist so i feel a >> i'm a unionist so i feel a bit for because my bit sorry for them because my god, if the labour blueprint is marked labour wales , marked backwards, labour wales, as they've done many good things in , mechanical, you know, in wales, mechanical, you know, total it's like total green zealotry, it's like bonkers poor wales, if that's going to happen in scotland then i feel sorry for them. but it's better than the snp, so good for them. the reform

them. and one of the reform though in scotland, were they doing much in there? well, we're standing in every standing candidates in every single constituency . i haven't single constituency. i haven't been up there to meet the candidates i've just come candidates yet. i've just come from conference. it's from the reform conference. it's uk wide supporters there, which has been fantastic and many, many scots are among them. common sense, no nonsense policies with reform. uk and scots tend to like a bit of that. >> nigel farage did his speech and that greeted. was and that was greeted. he was treated like an absolute hero at the party the conservative party conference. yes. conference. of course. yes. >> attended one of the gala >> i attended one of the gala dinners there because was dinners there because i was part of a documentary he of a brexit documentary when he walked in the room full of tories, left, right centre . tories, left, right and centre. it was like the new messiah. they literally, you know, they're kind of lost at the moment. the tory rebels have a charisma, aren't they? they're crying for a hero. i just, crying out for a hero. i just, you know, all those hero songs i thought be playing thought that would be playing when because they when he walked in because they have no captain of their conservative ship. they've got a captain a slightly of captain of a slightly sort of con dem ship, but con socialist lib dem ship, but there's guiding and there's no one guiding and leading nigel would. but he leading like nigel would. but he made clear the reform made clear today at the reform uk conference that, no, he was is not joining tories. he's is not joining the tories. he's firmly reform uk.

firmly backing reform uk. >> but could the same firmly backing reform uk. >> bu aboutcould the same firmly backing reform uk. >> bu about keiri the same firmly backing reform uk. >> bu about keir starmer. same really about keir starmer. really. seems to have a sort really. he seems to have a sort of limp sort of presence. of very limp sort of presence. he really i mean the he doesn't really i mean the only kind of their only reason that i sort of look at him and hearit that i sort of look at him and hear it is because i'm thinking, i'm waiting for you to change your what? i mean. >> well, you know what? i mean. >> well, you know what? i mean. >> look, i think keir had >> oh, look, i think keir had a problem, which he was elected problem, which is he was elected literally. elected literally. he was elected as leader labour party just literally. he was elected as leecovid labour party just literally. he was elected as leecovid hit. labour party just literally. he was elected as leecovid hit. and our party just literally. he was elected as leecovid hit. and so party just literally. he was elected as leecovid hit. and so forrty just literally. he was elected as leecovid hit. and so for the ust as covid hit. and so for the first years, the country first two years, the country had better things mind than better things on its mind than to out who starmer to find out who keir starmer was. now i think it's his job was. so now i think it's his job in liverpool this week to really introduce himself and to give people a much clearer picture of who he is and why he wants to be prime minister. he's big who he is and why he wants to be prirto minister. he's big who he is and why he wants to be prirto mi|this r. he's big who he is and why he wants to be prirto mi|this week; big who he is and why he wants to be prirto mi|this week in big job to do this week in in selling because people selling himself because people are angry with the tories, very disappointed after 13 years on so many issues. but they want to be really clear if they vote for keir, what they're getting and this to sell this is his opportunity to sell himself well, to be honest, i actually to actually want them to take scotland because i scotland in a sense because i know conservatives will know that the conservatives will never get their reform. >> we'll have the >> i'm not sure we'll have the chance that. chance to do that. >> very new, >> we're still very new, so who knows? may potentially

they'll probably take about 20 seats or so. >> well, it'll be interesting to see, but all i want is them to just remove the strong stranglehold of the snp and so we can keep a united kingdom. but thank you very much, alan mcneilly. british mcneilly. he's a great british voice. alan's voice. great to hear alan's totally we've become totally right that we've become complacent in scotland it's complacent in scotland and it's good we've changed and good to see we've changed and anas couldn't anas sannar there couldn't be a more anas sannar there couldn't be a mo he's good guy and he's >> he's a good guy and he's a very good dentist. he is? yeah >> is he? did he do your teeth? >> is he? did he do your teeth? >> he didn't. but he could have done i say done yours because i say brilliant. fantastic . i brilliant. mine is fantastic. i feel done. >> he's done. lovely. >> he's done. lovely. >> you , nana. yeah, i grew >> thank you, nana. yeah, i grew them myself. now yours as well. >> know, crocodiles can >> you know, crocodiles can actually grow more teeth. i did not know . we need learn . not know. we need to learn. >> crocodiles can grow only come to learn. you learn so much on absolutely once we know to absolutely once we know how to grow teeth, we can have absolutely once we know how to grow coming eeth, we can have absolutely once we know how to grow coming oliti, we can have absolutely once we know how to grow coming out 0er can have absolutely once we know how to grow coming out of ourm have absolutely once we know how to grow coming out of our face. le them coming out of our face. >> i'm going to do this >> now i'm going to do this lesson. though >> now i'm going to do this lesso be though >> now i'm going to do this lesso be talking though >> now i'm going to do this lesso be talking thougin we'll be talking very soon in the his labour party the on his labour party conference, it'll be conference, so it'll be interesting hear what he interesting to hear what he has to your to say. i just want to ask your thoughts on angela rayner thoughts on what angela rayner had the had to say earlier about the fact now misogyny should be fact that now misogyny should be a hate crime. going to start a hate crime. i'm going to start

with you, belinda. >> who's going >> what is misogyny? who's going to it going to to decide that? is it going to be of completely nutty, be a group of completely nutty, disconnected leftie liberals sitting around a table going, anyone who says anything mean about ever is about a woman ever is misogynistic and that is not going to work at all because of course, misogyny is not just being mean to one woman or saying something woman. saying something to one woman. it's of sort of hatred it's a feeling of sort of hatred and against entire and prejudice against the entire female sex, which is actually quite rare, except amongst incels, if you like. and so for me, i don't know how you police it. i think it would be used politically . think it would politically. so i think it would be very much against be used very much against right of and as we've of centre people and as we've seen, the hatred towards women, especially from left leaning gender ideologists, they get away with murder. and i don't think they would be able to, you know, with the misogyny , i just know, with the misogyny, i just don't it would apply to know, with the misogyny, i just don't as it would apply to know, with the misogyny, i just don't as muchvould apply to know, with the misogyny, i just don't as much as ld apply to know, with the misogyny, i just don't as much as on apply to know, with the misogyny, i just don't as much as on they to know, with the misogyny, i just don't as much as on the right. them as much as on the right. and secondly, if i get, you know, groped when i know, touched up, groped when i was 20s in the office, i'd was in my 20s in the office, i'd turn round and i'd say, don't do that i'd, know, smack that or, or i'd, you know, smack him i wouldn't, him in the face. i wouldn't, i wouldn't call police wouldn't then call the police and i had some sexual

and say he i had some sexual harassment at work. women can't be infantilized all the time to be infantilized all the time to be terrified of men misbehaving. we have to learn , teach our we have to learn, teach our daughters to stand up for themselves and say, don't touch me. get off me or i'll me. you know, get off me or i'll report of thing . report you. that kind of thing. i think that's much better. >> the or >> leave them in the nuts or anything that. anything like that. >> you if it's an extreme >> you know, if it's an extreme case, i'd definitely, needed, case, i'd definitely, if needed, be sometimes i'm sure it's justified. >> i mean, i think i think it's very hard to see how it's going to be enforced, which is why i think i'd like to see more of the detail position. but i think what we need to do is see things like rape conviction levels go up for police and domestic violence . yeah. tackling violence. yeah. tackling domestic violence. >> you know, >> well, listen, you know, because keir starmer about to because keir starmer is about to speak labour party speak at the labour party conference, as he does conference, as soon as he does start go live there. so interesting. i'm >> so very interesting. i'm wondering going to wondering what he's going to say. what do you his key say. what do you think his key points matthew lazor points would be, matthew lazor so going to open so i think he's going to open the today. so i think he's going to open the he's today. so i think he's going to open the he's got day. so i think he's going to open the he's got his. so i think he's going to open the he's got his big speech >> he's he's got his big speech on afternoon well. on tuesday afternoon as well. i think do, think what he's going to do, first all, congratulate first of all, is congratulate anas in anas and the colleagues in scotland . think will play scotland. i think he will play

is why we have made halving violence against women and girls one of our five national missions for the next labour government . it is a signal government. it is a signal of our intent to tackle this scourge head on. it means reforming the police compulsory training on violence against women and girls . a specialist women and girls. a specialist rape unit in every force , rape unit in every force, dedicated rape courts , trained dedicated rape courts, trained domestic abuse workers in every police control room , a proper police control room, a proper victims bill, a domestic abuse register . and yes, it means register. and yes, it means we'll take on the tech companies who push misogyny into the minds of our children for profit. it .

of our children for profit. it. put conference. the broader lesson is this don't succumb to the tory project . the hope they the tory project. the hope they want to kick out of our country . government can make the difference for women for and working people. we can lighten the load for mothers and with a reformed childcare system, we can transform home the inequalities in our nhs , the inequalities in our nhs, the mortality gap which sees black women more likely to die in childbirth . we can have equal childbirth. we can have equal respect at work with a right to flexible working and parental leave as a day one right. this is the reward of reform . a is the reward of reform. a simple message that we take to the country . we that labour will

the country. we that labour will make a practical difference to the lives of millions of women in this country. but more than that, that step by step ring reform by reform. ms by mission, we can also drain the swamp of hate and inequality through the efforts of reform , campaigning efforts of reform, campaigning and a labour government on your side because . because if you do side because. because if you do ever look at the news or the onune ever look at the news or the online debate and feel despondent , then remind yourself despondent, then remind yourself of this . yes, it's actually of this. yes, it's actually a story about harriet harman because 41 years ago in her first debate in parliament, she was chastised by the prime minister of the day, a woman i won't say a name in this . city won't say a name in this. city who accused harriet of being too

extreme in her demands . and what extreme in her demands. and what was the object of her radicalism ? conference out of hours. childcare for schoolkids . childcare for schoolkids. something that is commonplace across britain now . dumas. but across britain now. dumas. but more importantly , that we have more importantly, that we have come to take for granted that the tories, even on their worst days, would never take away because this movement changed the country's attitudes. the way britain saw your lives . so why britain saw your lives. so why can't we imagine a society where violence against women and girls is stamped out everywhere ? why is stamped out everywhere? why can't we better educate our children, prepare them for a more equal future ? why can't the more equal future? why can't the future citizens of our country ? future citizens of our country? we look back at this generation, our generation as the one which set women free from the culture of misogyny conference . the

of misogyny conference. the truth is we can on and not only that, we can fight for it. truth is we can on and not only that, we can fight for it . so that, we can fight for it. so let's get out there and fight conference. thank you very much and enjoy the rest of the week . and enjoy the rest of the week. thank you . thank you. >> nice to see you . thank you. >> nice to see you. thank you. >> nice to see you. thank you. >> that's called sir keir starmer speaking at the opening for the labour party conference, he talked a lot there. he highlighted two of his faces who have disappeared, who are no longer on the in the face of sort of leaving parliament. you've got harriet harman and margaret beckett. pointed margaret beckett. he pointed them out. there's a them out. he said there's a fight quality and justice. fight for quality and justice. the not to be objectified. the right not to be objectified. so basically he's talking about women. let's not forget he didn't what one for two didn't know what one was for two years. about online years. he talked about online women being threatened . he women being threatened. he wanted to eradicate toxic attitudes towards women and society , halving violence society, halving violence against women and girls , which against women and girls, which became, he said, is a major

mission for them to fight for equality and justice. also, compulsory training he mentioned for the police a domestic abuse register , things like that. and register, things like that. and tech companies who pushed misogyny online when he said he doesn't want to succumb to the tory project and they can lighten the load for mothers. he then talked about black women as more likely to die during childbirth . but more likely to die during childbirth. but i will add more likely to die during childbirth . but i will add that childbirth. but i will add that many midwives are black, so i'm not sure. i think those not quite sure. i think those sort statistics be sort of statistics need to be taken the he also taken in in the whole. he also talked about labour making a practical change for women in this country and that he would drain the swamp. and harriet harman, gave story of harman, he gave the story of harriet was harriet harman, who was chastised out of chastised for wanting out of hours childcare for schools. so why we manage? imagine a why can't we manage? imagine a society violence against society where violence against women and is outlawed, he women and girls is outlawed, he wants to set women free from the culture of misogyny. right. well, tuned. loads. still well, stay tuned. loads. still to come. will dissect to come. we will dissect that with first, let's with my panel. but first, let's get news headlines get your latest news headlines with addison . on

died of breast cancer and also her grandmother ? were they quite her grandmother? were they quite young as well ? how old were they? >> right . >> right. >> right. >> my mum was my mum was 57 when she was diagnosed and sadly, she was already terminally stage four when she was diagnosed. so she was considered terminal and but i do think that my mum was frightened of the outcome of going to the doctors. i think she found the lump and then didn't do anything about it. and we all need to be aware of our bodies checking our breasts and if we find anything or we're worried, go and get it checked before it's too late. so for you, what's the significance then, of this month? >> what are your aiming to do within it? because i know you've also mentioned your campaigning on the real housewives of cheshire . cheshire. >> so obviously october is breast cancer awareness month. so it's so important that everyone speaks about it. it's at the forefront of people's minds and i am honoured and delighted to be working with the pink ribbon foundation and they

terrorist attacks against israel and pledges support . the attack and pledges support. the attack comes from islamist military group hamas. and according to israeli officials, about 545 people have been injured in these attacks already, with at least 22 people dead. and disturbingly yet to be verified, videos have been circulating, only showing allegedly showing palestinians taking civilians captive and also taking them hostage . the attacks have been hostage. the attacks have been universally condemned by most western leaders, however , it is western leaders, however, it is believed iran has supported believed that iran has supported the attacks on israel. it's a very dramatic escalation that has rocked the region. so joining me now is defence editor at the evening standard, robert fox . robert, welcome. thank you fox. robert, welcome. thank you very much for joining fox. robert, welcome. thank you very much forjoining me. robert, can you explain to those people who don't fully understand what the conflict is about, this conflict is about, what this conflict is about, what this conflict is about, came to be and how about, how it came to be and how we're in this situation , the we're in this situation, the ongoing conflict the ongoing conflict between the palestinians and the israelis, which have going since which have been going on since the foundation of israel, 4748 declaration of independence and the war. >> and there have been several wars since then, but since 2005, when why are they fighting just

for those who don't? well, because israel was following a pledge from the first world war was given its homeland and declared the jewish state of israel as it is today, and which was approved by the united nafions. was approved by the united nations . curiously, like britain nations. curiously, like britain and new zealand, it doesn't have and new zealand, it doesn't have a constitution right ? well, and new zealand, it doesn't have a constitution right? well, part that, but it was born in conflict and the conflict has gone on because 700,000 roughly palestinians were displaced in the process of israel becoming and becoming a state. and this has been an ongoing trouble. there 5 or 6 different countries as they are today. the were big concentrations of palestinian refugees, one of the biggest concentrations was in the gaza strip. the gaza strip is a tiny piece of land , about one of the piece of land, about one of the most overcrowded in the world. two and a half, 2.2 million palestinians live there in great difficulty and at times virtually under siege. even by their reckoning by the israelis . israel, a abandoned

supervision of the gaza strip in 2005 and told the 21 jewish settlements in the gaza strip at the time they had to pack up and come home. since then, there have been 4 or 5 major conflicts. this is certainly the fifth or the sixth that we're seeing now because cause the palestinians take up the cause not only of themselves in gaza, but also on the occupied west bank, where there are 2 million palestinians saying that enough is enough. we've been oppressed by you. look at the 247 palestinians who've died in conflict this year. all ready. by conflict this year. all ready. by the way, there have also been some 40 israelis and two foreign nationals in that everything is getting worse. and that's why the hamas is the authority in in gaza described this as a flood or aqsa storm, this amazing operation which nobody expected to say, you know , enough is to say, you know, enough is enough. and they . launched over

enough. and they. launched over 2500 rockets, completely unsuspecting , acted by israel. unsuspecting, acted by israel. and the fight is ongoing. it's been going on for more than 12 hours. and it is very, very confusing . they have gone into confusing. they have gone into settlements . they have taken settlements. they have taken hostages allegedly me and israel has lost contact with at least seven of its settlements up until about an hour ago . we're until about an hour ago. we're at the early stages of this. there will be dreadful things, i fear , happening overnight and we fear, happening overnight and we are in an important palestinian israeli war. >> well, joining me, thank you very much for that, robert. joining me now for reaction to how the united states has reacted to this attack is us political eric ham. eric political analyst eric ham. eric thank you very much for joining me . welcome on board, eric. good me. welcome on board, eric. good to here. so, eric, what's to be here. so, eric, what's what's been the reaction to this conflict , what's been the reaction to this conflict, this escalation in the conflict, this escalation in the conflict in the states ? conflict in the states? >> well, we now know that president biden has actually had a phone call this morning with israeli prime minister benjamin

netanyahu . netanyahu. >> we know that he has pledged support to israel. we also know that he is willing to provide any resources available . in any resources available. in addition to that, we also know that the current cia director, who was scheduled to be in the state of georgia for a national security conference, has cancelled that as he is now staying back in washington. as this is becoming an all hands on deck for the biden administration action. we also know that the national security adviser , jake sullivan, is also adviser, jake sullivan, is also in contact , constant contact in contact, constant contact with his counterpart. and also we heard from the pentagon secretary, lloyd austin , who has secretary, lloyd austin, who has put out a statement making clear that the united states stands with israel and that they will be making sure to provide resources , whichever whichever resources, whichever whichever israel may need. now, one thing we do know is that the united states has one of the largest stockpiles in the middle east. it's actually in israel. we are not actually getting information or word from the biden administration that they are

allowed urging israel to actually tap that stockpile. but we know that that is something thatis we know that that is something that is available . and also, we that is available. and also, we have not heard from the israeli is that they are seeking to actually have access to that stockpile of weaponry at this time . time. >> well, eric, listen, keep us informed. we want to hear, you know, has biden actually spoken or said anything about this? have there been any announcements at all? >> well , we announcements at all? >> well, we did we did. announcements at all? >> well, we did we did . the >> well, we did we did. the white house did put out a statement from the president saying that they do stand with israel. and it was very clear that they said that they would be be standing against any other players who might be engaged in this conflict . and we do know this conflict. and we do know that there is growing concern about what this might mean for the normalisation of relations between israel and saudi arabia, which we know the president is actually watching that very closely as well .

closely as well. >> eric, thank you very much for joining me. that is eric ham. he's there in the states. he's a political analyst giving us a view across the pond. but view from across the pond. but coming up, it's a great british debate this hour and i'm asking, will power couple georgia maloney and rishi sunak. so, maz , will they be able to solve the migrant crisis ? get your migrant crisis? get your thoughts to me. gb views

me, michael portillo news, britain's news channel . just

britain's news channel. just coming up to 24 minutes after 5:00. >> if you've just tuned in. welcome on board this is gb news. we are the people's channel. i'm nana akua don't forget you can stream forget as well. you can stream the on youtube now. the show live on youtube now. we've got lots to get through in this hour, it's time now for this hour, but it's time now for the i'm the great british debate i'm asking couple giorgio asking will power couple giorgio maloney rishi sunak or as maloney and rishi sunak or as i like to call them , m&s, will like to call them, m&s, will they be able to solve the migrant crisis now? giorgio maloney and rishi an maloney and rishi sunak an alliance with shared concerns over illegal migration could potentially reshape europe's approach to this very concerning issue. now they're collaborating issue. now they're collaborating is proving instrumental as they successfully influenced the european policy on illegal migration in co—chaired meetings and secured deals with multiple nafions and secured deals with multiple nations , their joint efforts nations, their joint efforts have yielded an eight point plan for despite being labelled extreme by some international press. but will be enough. will it be enough to solve the crisis? so joining me to discuss is former minister of state for europe, denis macshane , former

europe, denis macshane, former tory mp and chair of environmental food and rural affairs neil parish , and affairs neil parish, and journalist broadcaster mike parry, and former downing street adviser and commentator sean worth. right i'm going to start with you, denis macshane, since you've made your way into the studio . denis, answer not really. >> both were elected at the same time about a year ago . time about a year ago. >> you both said, we're going to stop the boats in italy . stop the boats in italy. >> we are now an extra 300,000 arrivals because she doesn't know what to do. >> the swimming are a bit like rishi sunak. he promised to stop the boats failed completely . we the boats failed completely. we know that they've met and they had a meeting on the whole meeting of the european political community. it was like a sort of subcommittee and they agreed to cooperate with frontex, which britain was a member of until 2016. so it's not a bad thing. i'm glad. rishi now is engaging with the european union . european union. >> no, georgia as well. she was elected on a very anti european ticket the moment she got into

power , she started love bombing power, she started love bombing europe because she needs their money. >> she needs their cooperation. and that's a lot of what we saw last whether it adds to last week, whether it adds to anything , last week, whether it adds to anything, i'm not sure it's a longer debate that, but it's a good start that finally britain has left behind the boris and liz and theresa may nonsense were engaging seriously as in european affairs . european affairs. >> well, it seems that rishi sunak has got a knack of doing this love bombing. he did that to ursula von der leyen. remember the they were remember the way they were looking at that looking at each other at that time? going to come mike time? i'm going to come to mike parry you think parry on this one. do you think it could potentially be enough? parry on this one. do you think it cyoui potentially be enough? parry on this one. do you think it cyoui pote|rishiv be enough? parry on this one. do you think it cyoui pote|rishiv b showing|? parry on this one. do you think it (jright)ote|rishiv b showing|? parry on this one. do you think it (jright sort rishiv b showing|? parry on this one. do you think it (jright sort ofhiv b showing|? parry on this one. do you think it (jright sort of signsshowingl? the right sort of signs and there relationship could be a start quite start to something that's quite it's all talking again, isn't it? >> and talking has not got us anywhere trying to control the immigration problem in europe. >> i prefer countries like poland and hungary, poland is building fences between itself and belarus to try and stop people coming into their country fence and walls. hungary has

built fences and walls on its south border. now that's what i call practical activity to try and get to grips with the illegal immigration. the talk, talk, talk hasn't got us anywhere. i know people say jaw jaw is better than war. war >> it's not a war, but it is a massive, massive display of people around the world. >> we're not just talking about europe . we're talking also about europe. we're talking also about america . did you know that america. did you know that outside of a company like amazon, the displacement of people around the world from south america into the united states, from africa into europe, is the biggest industry in the world. it's a massive profit, profit making business. and we have to get to grips with the people who are in charge of that business. now, the belgians , for business. now, the belgians, for instance, i don't know if you've read hang on, i'm confused because you are you're saying amazon, you're not talking about people coming from the amazon. >> you're talking amazon

>> you're talking about amazon in know i'm saying in know what i'm saying is the biggest world biggest company in the world is amazon . amazon. >> okay. in terms of £35 billion, the only more profitable industry in this world is moving people around the world and america into america from africa into fences, put fences and walls to stop it. >> but you said fences and walls , which, yeah, they're not going to stop these people. these people will just climb over fences and i've to go fences and walls. i've got to go to parish. neil parish. to neil parish. neil parish. >> if you at way >> if you look at the way the poland it, they have poland has done it, they have stopped people coming into their country with country from belarus with physical determines, i.e. where, but what about us? >> we're in ireland and we're in ireland, we're in ireland. we can't have a fence around. >> it's a huge immigration problem. >> listen, we're in ireland. you can't have a fence and a wall around an island. i mean, that's not to work for us. let me not going to work for us. let me go parish, go to neil parish. neil parish, can i in? can i come in? >> thank you, nana. yes >> yeah. thank you, nana. yes i think this think that this this relationship between giorgia meloni and rishi sunak will

prosper because i think we've got to put much more pressure on the whole of the european union to actually stop the gangs really that are putting these people at risk in these boats and sending them across the water. and that is where we can do a lot more jointly across the whole of europe, because it is very much in our mutual interest to actually stop all this migration , illegal migration. migration, illegal migration. also, i think we sometimes forget that these are people that are actually risking their lives going on. these boats. and so really it's the gangs that actually prepare the boats that are actually sending these people across that we really need to target. because i mean, italy has had 130,000 illegal migrants cross already. we have actually reduced it slightly this year, but it is very difficult to stop. we've got to italy. france is now put out some barriers across some of the rivers, which is actually helping stop some of these boats from taking off from the coast. i think the more cooperation we

can do, i think what it does mean is that with giorgia meloni and sunak, it shows that being strong on immigration and migration has is right. and i think it's becoming more acceptable because in the end we're actually looking after people. if we stop them getting into those boats in the first place, that's a good plan. >> i want to get to get over to sean worth. sean thank you. >> yeah , i don't know what any >> yeah, i don't know what any of are talking about of these guys are talking about and neither do they. and i imagine neither do they. >> i just want to get a bit of reality right, that the reality here, right, that the european institutions, political institutions have failed for years to get grip of the years to get a grip of the migrant crisis and only now is italy joining us and we britain as basically had the brunt of this for many years. >> and it was the reason actually we exited the european union. if you remember , david union. if you remember, david cameron went to europe and said, look, we want we want the freedom to be able to have tougher control here because we are under pressure are literally under pressure

here. um, and they said no. and that's what basically triggered the whole brexit issue and the reality dodi of this is that europe institutions will do literally nothing . but i'm literally nothing. but i'm really encouraged by the fact that i think this is the first time i've certainly seen in the last 20 years that another european country has us european country has joined us and saying, know , and saying, look, you know, we're not saying we're going to shirk our responsibilities to genuine asylum seekers and we have an open reason , open have an open reason, open immigration system, but we want to be able to control it. and we want more doctors and nurses or dentists or whatever roles we need to fill. the big problem is illegal flows, and it's getting worse and worse and worse . and worse and worse and worse. and europe, as a political union. and it's not just the eu, it's this this other institution, the european political community, is the one that rishi and the italian chap are now having a giorgio bellini . giorgio bellini. >> yeah, but i don't believe it will work . will work. >> but i'm pleased that you're pleased to see for the first

time, i think you unilateral action in the uk is needed. >> well, that's what it's a good thing. so. okay, so yes or no. quickly, denis macshane, is it a good thing ? giorgio or mass good thing? giorgio or mass chatting together like that? is it a thing? it a good thing? >> wonderful thing will make absolutely difference. >> wonderful thing will make abs neilely difference. >> wonderful thing will make abs neil parishiifference. >> wonderful thing will make abs neil parish good nce. >> wonderful thing will make abs neil parish good or). >> wonderful thing will make abs neil parish good or bad? yes >> neil parish good or bad? yes >> neil parish good or bad? yes >> neil parish good or bad? yes >> neil power . >> neil power. >> neil power. >> mike parry. sorry >> mike parry. sorry >> yeah, i would say it's a good thing, but i'd like to see more action and less talk and stanworth finally, good or bad ? stanworth finally, good or bad? >> good thing . but we need >> good thing. but we need unilateral action. >> well, listen, thank you all for your thoughts . sean worth, for your thoughts. sean worth, mike parry , also neil parish and mike parry, also neil parish and dennis mcshane . thank you so dennis mcshane. thank you so much for your thoughts. well, this is gb news on tv, online this is gb news is on tv, online and digital radio. coming up, and on digital radio. coming up, we'll our great we'll continue with our great british debate hour. and british debate this hour. and i'm couple i'm asking will power couple maloney mass be able maloney and sunak mass be able to solve the migrant crisis? you'll the thoughts of my you'll hear the thoughts of my panel you'll hear the thoughts of my panel. former politician mep beunda panel. former politician mep belinda also belinda de lucy and also political commentator matthew belinda de lucy and also political butlmentator matthew belinda de lucy and also political but first, .ator matthew belinda de lucy and also political but first, let's matthew belinda de lucy and also political but first, let's get:hew lawson. but first, let's get your latest headlines with

international press. but will it be enough to solve the migrant crisis ? so for the great british crisis? so for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking will power couple meloni and sunak be able solve this? sunak be able to solve this? let's see what my panel of let's see what my panel make of that. joining now, political that. joining me now, political commentator also commentator matthew lazer, also former and mep former politician and mep beunda . former politician and mep belinda . well, i'm going belinda de lucy. well, i'm going to have to come to go to last time . time. >> i don't mind. i'm happy i got to go to belinda. >> okay. belinda what do you think? power couple. i'm quite glad to see it because i think they need some cooperation. but what do you think? >> i really rated meloni when she came to power, i thought her speeches were spot on. i'm very small conservative about small c conservative about family, traditional values and not losing that in this mad sort of progress of liberal world where they're trying to raise borders between children and adults and men and women. and i've always felt that's quite a dangerous road to go down. and meloni was that wonderful muscle that said, not on my watch. she promised a lot. she promised to stop the boats . she hasn't been

stop the boats. she hasn't been able to do that. so she is being called out on her failure, like rishi promised stop the rishi promised to stop the boats. neither them can do boats. neither of them can do that what interesting that. what is interesting is that. what is interesting is that an eu nation has reached out to brexit britain for help. >> oh yes. >> oh yes. >> oh yes. not >> oh yes. not had >> oh yes. not had much >> oh yes. not had much luck with with ursula von der leyen. she's reaching out to brexit. britain and that to me is a reflection of the failure of and the cowardice and competence of the cowardice and competence of the eu liberal elite who, let's be honest, don't mind a bit of mass immigration. they're not pro nation states. and what waters down the nation state most is very quick mass immigration where people don't have a connection to the national culture. flag loyalties , to the history and traditions of the culture. the eu like that because then they can, you know, kneel down to the big blue flag with so think with a golden stars. so i think that's one of the reasons they haven't they're haven't done it. also they're terrified with terrified of messing with treaties and what rishi and meloni do is say we need meloni need to do is say we need to suspend parts of the echr at the very least, we need to

suspend the refugee convention, which is literally making nation states impossible . and we get states impossible. and we get a lot of talk unless they put a stop to this. now maybe put some boats in and safely send them back to north africa, because that's if we don't police the north african italy boundary, we're going to get it here in england. but they won't do that. they just keep on bribing countries. >> why doesn't she do that? because in her territory. because it's in her territory. she could that . she wants to. she could do that. she wants to. she could do that. she wants to. she could do that. she wants to. she could do. what's stopping her. >> eu and this is another reason she's getting a of criticism she's getting a lot of criticism coming us because she's coming to us because she's facing we're facing. facing what we're facing. >> but other way around and >> but the other way around and the eu not giving her a solution. >> so she's come to the uk. >> so she's come to the uk. >> i think that's a bit harsh on the eu. mean, on many on many the eu. i mean, on many on many levels the thing is, the eu. i mean, on many on many levels european the thing is, the eu. i mean, on many on many levels european countryg is, the eu. i mean, on many on many levels european country wants to every european country wants to tackle migration crisis tackle the migration crisis because impacts because it impacts every european mean, we european country. i mean, we know how big an issue is in our politics. issue politics. it's as big an issue in the politics of pretty much every i if every member state. i mean, if you talk to a german or a dutch or a danish or spanish or a danish or a spanish politician issue ,

politician even, it's an issue, too. i mean, the big problem is, is you've got people you've got such a big flow from such a big flow of people from the mediterranean the the mediterranean rim, the countries just over the mediterranean , and they are mediterranean, and they are there is a big push to come and they land at the moment landing in lampedusa, the island off italy. so that was terrible. yeah, 11,000 people. absolutely. so the eu 6000 inhabited islands. yeah so absolutely. it's an invasion. well it certainly is an absolutely ovennhelming by anybody's standards isn't so standards invasion, isn't it? so the just done a deal with the eu has just done a deal with tunisia to support tunisia and try and stop people coming, which is also to support their often libyans who come through tunisia . so the eu has done tunisia. so the eu has done a deal there. but i think it's perfectly sensible if rishi, to talk maloney because talk to maloney because nothing's tackle this. talk to maloney because nothirthey've tackle this. talk to maloney because nothirthey've got tackle this. talk to maloney because nothirthey've got an|ckle this. talk to maloney because nothirthey've got an eighthis. talk to maloney because nothirthey've got an eight point well, they've got an eight point plan. mean, would plan. but yeah, i mean, i would be about because be cynical about it because there issue the there are the big issue in the eu help us all, eu which might help us all, which is that there's big which is that there's been a big there's about, you there's a big debate about, you know, obviously we have rwanda. obviously, gone obviously, nobody's gone to rwanda. big issue rwanda. but there's a big issue about whether you can process people all in the country. so

could we start processing people in tunisia? we'll libya to in tunisia? so we'll go libya to tunisia. could you then process people tunisia and rather people in tunisia and rather than processing them in dover ? than processing them in dover? well, i don't see why not. well, the germans have been holding up a plan that the eu because a plan that the eu has because the germans thought was the germans thought it was illiberal. but now finally, the germans have properly and exactly so. the germans have just withdrawn their opposition. so some hope there. so there's some hope there. do you perhaps what is, is you think perhaps what it is, is they terms with they are coming to terms with what already realised, what we have already realised, that schengen of that their schengen is part of the make the things that actually make this movement of people in this awful movement of people in easier for people . easier for people. >> so if you come from any country, can easily go country, you can easily go through europe through any country in europe and across the and you can get across to the uk. it is, it's uk. aware of it is, oh, it's been stop people been nothing to stop the people smugglers been nothing to stop the people sm|there's area and in >> there's loving area and in fact the total incompetence of the eu has been a gift to the people smugglers. 2.4 million illegal migrants have landed in europe in the last ten years and the eu have only managed to deport a fifth of them. so the big problem is they're just not deporting very many people. so even asylum even if you get your asylum claim to

claim rejected, you get to disappear into the we're the worst, we're the worst, we are. >> the record is worse than germany. >> germany under care where he would give safe paths to everyone. >> absolutely . we wouldn't only >> absolutely. we wouldn't only label stop small boats only labour will stop the small boat. >> yeah, but giving them a speech about women. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i hear speech about >> i did hear a speech about women out one is. >> and everything about >> and now everything about us. >> and now everything about us. >> not complete labour >> yeah. not complete labour will stop. >> not convinced about. >> i am not convinced about. >> i am not convinced about. >> stop the boats by >> they only stop the boats by giving aeroplanes. giving them free aeroplanes. >> stop >> absolutely not. stop the small people >> absolutely not. stop the small shouldn't people >> absolutely not. stop the small shouldn't be people >> absolutely not. stop the small shouldn't be here. wle back who shouldn't be here. >> great british voices, >> our great british voices, their the their opportunity to be on the show they think show and tell us what they think about the topics we're discussing. got four of discussing. i've got four of you, i'm you, julian bedfordshire, i'm starting with you. i've literally we were literally forgotten what we were talking you think talking about. but do you think mass s and will stop these mass or s and m will stop these boats? think their boats? do you think their partnership a good thing? partnership is a good thing? juue partnership is a good thing? julie i think the partnership is a good thing, absolutely, because at the end of the day, progress starts with people working together. >> all of the european countries have got problem with have got the same problem with migration, but the problem is they're all trying to tackle it individually . see if work

individually. see if we work together with one proactive plan of action, i think you'd find it would resolve quicker. and with rishi and melania working together, i think that's a good start for everybody else. then come on board and hopefully move that fonnard. >> all right. thank you, julie. jonathan . he's got jonathan in cornwall. he's got a t nana. >> yeah, i think it's part of the answer, but we're taking t from this beautiful tea garden right behind me. >> should get some. >> oh, you should get some. >> oh, you should get some. >> growing tea in >> i always growing tea in cornwall. taking this to cornwall. i'm taking this to japan week. selling tea japan next week. selling tea grown in and grown in cornwall in japan. and guess what? don't have all guess what? they don't have all these should not just these issues. we should not just talk to melania, but talk to our friends in japan and get some hints and tips from them as well. that's a good idea. and have >> that's a good idea. and have a whilst doing >> that's a good idea. and have a as whilst doing >> that's a good idea. and have a as well. whilst doing >> that's a good idea. and have a as well. thankst doing >> that's a good idea. and have a as well. thank you, doing >> that's a good idea. and have a as well. thank you, jonathan. it as well. thank you, jonathan. when bring me when are you going to bring me my rac tea as well? nana tea it's right? szczesny it's called right? szczesny szczesny keynes. good afternoon. >> nana. yes, i'm going to steal your line and i think rishi sunak and giorgio meloni are the power couple that's going to

tackle the migrant crisis . as tackle the migrant crisis. as juue tackle the migrant crisis. as julie said, them working together there and having that alliance is excellent because working together to stop the immigration crisis, which they are calling a moral crisis, i think it's going to set an example for other countries and who knows, they might also follow and assist this power couple. so don't forget the migrant crisis is on the top five of rishi sunak strategic plan. >> so. well, good luck with his five plans. unfortunately, he's not doing that great with them. jacqui. it's an open and down to you. i've got about 30s jackie . you. i've got about 30s jackie. >> hey, i think it's great that they've collaborated. it's nice that not out there on that they're not out there on their own. >> however, i don't have much confidence that it will solve the crisis because it just doesn't political will the crisis because it just do do i't political will the crisis because it just do do so political will the crisis because it just do do so . political will the crisis because it just do do so . at political will the crisis because it just do do so . at that political will the crisis because it just do do so . at that conferenceill the crisis because it just do do so . at that conference in to do so. at that conference in granada, there are 50 nation states represented and sunak meloni have struggled to put it on the agenda. even the pope is criticising it and seeing it as as unkind .

as unkind. >> so i don't think they've got the power behind them. >> i think it's great that they're partnered up . they're partnered up. >> i don't really see much confidence in stopping illegal trafficking in the boats showed intelligence to do it right. >> thank you very much, jackie anderson. all the necessity in milton jonathan milton keynes. jonathan in cornwall and julie in bedford. right lots of you been getting in touch with your views on the reform patrick nigel in touch with your views on the refo richard patrick nigel in touch with your views on the refo richard admit ck nigel in touch with your views on the refo richard admit the nigel in touch with your views on the refo richard admit the reform el and richard admit the reform party would not win the next election. but they're the election. but they're making the right fonnard. says right steps fonnard. dean says labour probably the labour will probably win the next the next general election, but the tories failed on tories have failed us on everything deserve everything and don't deserve saving on stopping the boats. john uk must declare an john says the uk must declare an emergency sea emergency and install sea barriers against the boats. it's getting out of hand. susan says the boats have only been a problem four years. problem for the last four years. before that, illegal immigrants problem for the last four years. beforeimat, illegal immigrants problem for the last four years. beforein by, illegal immigrants problem for the last four years. beforein by lorry,al immigrants problem for the last four years. beforein by lorry, which|igrants problem for the last four years. beforein by lorry, which theints came in by lorry, which the conservative stopped. conservative government stopped. they will have will have my they will have they will have my vote . we'll keep your thoughts vote. we'll keep your thoughts coming. for all your coming. thank you for all your comments and keep all your opinions our screen opinions as but on our screen guests we are this is another one. this is actually something i don't know what that's saying
