3:03 pm
the start by somebody who clearly had a bit of a gripe with the state politics. but with the state of politics. but he with that and he moved with the state of politics. but he i with that and he moved with the state of politics. but he i thinkith that and he moved with the state of politics. but he i think iti that and he moved with the state of politics. but he i think it took and he moved with the state of politics. but he i think it took quitele moved on. i think it took quite a while for that individual to actually taken stage. actually be taken off the stage. again, concerns again, massive security concerns . then got into the . but then we got into the substance of it. he saying substance of it. he kept saying labour the party of working labour is the party of working people. actually said people. he actually said outright labour supports outright that labour supports a two state solution in the middle east when it comes to israel and palestine. he said that one of the things that really touched him recently how him recently was how many ordinary working said ordinary working people, he said are survival mode amid this are in survival mode amid this cost living crisis and he cost of living crisis and he wants to ease that burden. so he claims of national claims a decade of national renewal. i think the eagle eyed and eagle eyed, if he can be such a thing amongst us, will have realised that what he's saying he's going need saying is he's going to need at least just just least two full terms just just to try to correct the mess that we're in now, which does seem like a heck of a long time, but there we go. that's the line, isn't it, out of labour. look we're in such a mess here. it's to going ages get to going take us ages to get it right. nhs. that right. the nhs. he said that working paying working people are now paying for care gave
3:04 pm
for their own health care gave an example of a footballer who had ligament and then had had ligament damage and then had to crowdfund £15,000 to actually get his career back on track before apparently scoring in the fa this would be funded fa cup. this would be funded largely anyway by the tax on non—doms . he largely anyway by the tax on non—doms. he says that labour will reform the nhs. i think only the labour party can even talk about reforming the nhs context when the tories do it, they just get a kicking vat on private schools. he mentioned that as well. he said that look, the private the tax break for private schools, stop and schools, that needs to stop and with we can have with that money we can have things like mental health awareness and staff in other state schools, home ownership. now that was conspicuous by its absence, wasn't it? the home ownership issue from rishi sunak speech a week ago? not so this time with keir starmer. he's pledged to build 1.5 million new homes and. and i think i understood correctly anyway, a series of new towns , which might series of new towns, which might be a way of trying to make it slightly more palatable that they're going to over the
3:05 pm
slightly more palatable that they'rnbelt.|g to over the slightly more palatable that they'rnbelt. |g tothere over the slightly more palatable that they'rnbelt. |g tothere we iver the slightly more palatable that they'rnbelt.|g tothere we go. the green belt. but there we go. and clean energy well, clean british energy as well, being than foreign being cheaper than foreign fossil fuels, finishing on a resounding clean energy drive there . so lots to go out there. there. so lots to go out there. that was, of course, sir keir starmer . i'm that was, of course, sir keir starmer. i'm joined now by olivia utley , our political olivia utley, our political correspondent and i think hopefully at some point soon we might be able to remind ourselves of moment where ourselves of that moment where keir glitter bombed keir starmer was glitter bombed on you make of that? >> well, was the hall for >> well, i was in the hall for the glitter bombing moment, and it said, keir starmer the glitter bombing moment, and it with said, keir starmer the glitter bombing moment, and it with very, keir starmer the glitter bombing moment, and it with very, very starmer the glitter bombing moment, and it with very, very well|er dealt with it very, very well indeed, you said. indeed, as you said. >> mean, that's a serious, >> i mean, that's a serious, serious concern . and serious security concern. and actually i've noticed and i've heard of other people heard a lot of other people saying labour conference heard a lot of other people sayi week, labour conference heard a lot of other people sayi week, securitynur conference heard a lot of other people sayi week, security has onference heard a lot of other people sayi week, security has beenmce heard a lot of other people sayi week, security has been ace this week, security has been a lot than at conservative lot lighter than at conservative conference last week. and apparently that's simply because of issues. apparently that's simply because of issues . and the of funding issues. and the government day funded government of the day is funded much better than the opposition party day lots people party of the day. lots of people now to change. now saying that needs to change. >> starmer brushed the >> keir starmer brushed the glitter shoulders, glitter off his shoulders, rolled up his sleeves. >> we've as we've >> as we've heard, as we've seen him before got him do many times before and got on has to be said,
3:06 pm
on with it, has to be said, i would say that is the best constructed speech constructed and delivered speech that starmer ever made that keir starmer has ever made and it went down very, very well in the hall. just like with rachel reeves other we rachel reeves the other day, we saw plenty of standing ovations. there a of energy in the there was a lot of energy in the room. as for the substance of the speech, i mean, there wasn't a amount information a huge amount of new information there. he was covering quite a lot of old ground. and the message was very, very much what we have from keir starmer we have seen from keir starmer and of the labour and from the whole of the labour frontbench for weeks and weeks now. frontbench for weeks and weeks nov it's really frontbench for weeks and weeks novit's really ideological. frontbench for weeks and weeks novit's aboutally ideological. frontbench for weeks and weeks novit's about clearinglogical. frontbench for weeks and weeks novit's about clearing upical. frontbench for weeks and weeks novit's about clearing up the >> it's about clearing up the mess that the tories have created. as rachel reeves kept saying her speech the other saying in her speech the other day, how have your family benefited from years of benefited from 13 years of conservative ? that was conservative power? that was a theme keir starmer touched theme that keir starmer touched on again and again. something which very, which will probably play very, very with particularly very well with particularly a lot young up and down very well with particularly a lot country; up and down very well with particularly a lot country is up and down very well with particularly a lot country is the up and down very well with particularly a lot country is the housebuildingi angle. >> keir starmer making clear he doesn't want to tarmac over the green belt, but essentially he would allow a lot more planning, something which the conservatives have ignored. >> of starmer >> another example of starmer stealing tories clothing , if stealing the tories clothing, if you no, indeed. let's just remind
3:07 pm
>> no, indeed. let's just remind ourselves now of we'll have a few clips some of the actual few clips of some of the actual substance, naturally, substance, but naturally, i'm going clip going to start with a clip of the bombing. i think the glitter bombing. so i think we you what happened. we can show you what happened. now, this was right at the start we can show you what happened. thhehis was right at the start we can show you what happened. thhe speech. right at the start we can show you what happened. thhe speech. therert the start we can show you what happened. thhe speech. there youe start we can show you what happened. thhe speech. there you go. art of the speech. there you go. covered with glitter. and then that was saying, you that individual was saying, you know, broken and we know, politics is broken and we need a people's house. we need a people's house. not entirely sure exactly what that was all about. apparently someone has found this guy on twitter and i believe he has 16 whole followers. so he's making waves. that guy, what i did quite like olivia, is that in years to come, in decades to come with no context whatsoever, people are going to look at speech by the labour leader, maybe the new prime minister and go, why was he covered in glitter ? could he covered in glitter? he could have out his hair, have got it out of his hair, bless him, couldn't they? but there i think he there we go. look, i think he dealt with it well. i'm dealt with it quite well. i'm going to christopher home dealt with it quite well. i'm goinghe's christopher home dealt with it quite well. i'm goinghe's political her home dealt with it quite well. i'm goinghe's political editorme now. he's our political editor who again, was was hall who again, was was in the hall with take with olivia. i think we can take christopher christopher, christopher up now. christopher, olivia is assessment. oh, there we go. still, still rapturous in olivia's assessment was that she
3:08 pm
thinks it was the probably the best speech she's ever done. what do you make of it? the substance of it? well, patrick, i think there wasn't a lot there with a tory leader. >> wouldn't have said the only difference is this way of raising money on non—doms. people are here but people who are based here but don't here or pay tax don't pay tax here or pay tax voluntarily or pay a charge and theissue voluntarily or pay a charge and the issue private schools and the issue of private schools and removing their status removing their vat status othennise , it was simply a othennise, it was simply a speech to reassure tory voters give us a chance. he made a direct plea tory tory voters direct plea to tory tory voters to chance their arm with labour and there's nothing really to scare them away from doing that because they're trying offer because they're trying to offer this of even say the word this idea of even say the word strong and stable government, which don't forget, that what which don't forget, that is what theresa offered against the theresa may offered against the chaos labour under jeremy chaos of labour under jeremy corbyn. they're going to literally position. literally reverse that position. so labour are offering so now labour are offering strong, government strong, stable government against the chaos of a tory party of course there's risks there that didn't end so there because that didn't end so well theresa did it, well for theresa may. did it, but here 53 but we counted here 53 applauses, a dozen or so
3:09 pm
standing ovations, big claps for supporting israel , big, standing ovations, big claps for supporting israel, big, big claps for cracking cracking down on non—doms . i think the real on non—doms. i think the real a real feeling here of a party with momentum. but of course, it'll be in the small print. we don't yet know how they're going to raise raise money for lots of these policies, probably from borrowing, but we'll find out soon but there's soon enough. but there's a feeling excitement here. feeling of excitement here. patrick in the hall. >> yeah , there well be a >> yeah, there may well be a feeling excitement . there is feeling of excitement. there is a of excitement. but a feeling of excitement. but have got the have you not just got to the very core it there, which is very core of it there, which is how are you actually going to pay how are you actually going to pay this stuff? i pay for a lot of this stuff? i mean, there any credibility? mean, is there any credibility? is there economic credibility is there an economic credibility gap, do you think, in the labour party ? party? >> well, there's not a credibility gap. i think rachel reeves does pass the credibility test, not least when you have mark carney endorsing her in this hall just yesterday. but yeah , you're absolutely right, yeah, you're absolutely right, patrick. and we at gb news will keep asking, how earth are keep asking, how on earth are you for this? keir you going to pay for this? keir starmer we don't know answer starmer we don't know the answer to there is to that. we know there is some money i say, money raised, as i say, from taking to

3:11 pm
100. and of course seen 100. and of course we've seen that echoed by first david lammy 100. and of course we've seen that nomed by first david lammy 100. and of course we've seen that nomed bstarmer.|vid lammy 100. and of course we've seen that nomed bstarmer.|vi|we|mmy 100. and of course we've seen that nomed bstarmer. |vi|we hady and now keir starmer. if we had jeremy corbyn as the leader of the opposition , we would the opposition, we would be seeing palestine flag in seeing free palestine flag in the hall. we might be seeing something similar to the scenes that outside israeli that we saw outside the israeli embassy yesterday . embassy in london yesterday. keir starmer has taken a big, big pains to sort of clean up the labour party. there are plenty of labour mps from corbyn's no longer plenty of labour mps from corbythere no longer plenty of labour mps from corbythere are no longer plenty of labour mps from corbythere are lots no longer plenty of labour mps from corbythere are lots 0f10 longer plenty of labour mps from corbythere are lots of party ger mps. there are lots of party members who've been kicked out of i think today of the party and i think today this that's beginning this conference that's beginning to , show yeah one of to, to show fruit. yeah one of the big things that he made a point of was the nhs. >> and i thought this is definitely one to watch for a long time. i a of long time. i think a lot of people really it people have thought really it would who might would only be labour who might be reform the nhs be able to reform the nhs because if the tories try and do anything they'll get anything drastic, they'll get absolutely hammered and and absolutely hammered and lo and behold, stands up behold, keir starmer stands up there he says, i know people there and he says, i know people don't reform . and don't like this word reform. and then he went on to say that work people are paying for their own health said an health care. he said that an individual ligament individual tore a knee ligament . he's individual tore a knee ligament .he's semi—professional . he's a semi—professional footballer . qatar crowdfund
3:12 pm
footballer. qatar crowdfund £15,000 to basically choose between doing that or giving up his career. he said that, yeah, transform and reform the nhs and thatis transform and reform the nhs and that is supposedly going to be funded by by non—doms. but again, i'm just not really sure that all adds up. does it? >> well, i think, as you say, it's really interesting that keir starmer talks about reforming the nhs. wes streeting, shadow health streeting, the shadow health secretary, said something similar ago and at similar a few months ago and at the was considered very, the time it was considered very, very indeed. labour the time it was considered very, very hasn't1deed. labour the time it was considered very, very hasn't talked labour the time it was considered very, very hasn't talked about bour the time it was considered very, very hasn't talked about nhs party hasn't talked about nhs reform a long, long time. and reform in a long, long time. and as you say, as soon as the tories bring it up, they're accused of privatising the nhs. tories bring it up, they're acc|just of privatising the nhs. tories bring it up, they're acc|just oisign atising the nhs. tories bring it up, they're acc|just oisign atising far nhs. it's just a sign of how far labour have come that when keir starmer today it was starmer said that today it was greeted applause wasn't greeted with applause and wasn't really considered controversial at all. as you say , whether at all. as you say, whether funding it by getting rid of non—dom status will work is very interesting . the labour party interesting. the labour party seems to think the whole nhs reform come from from this reform can come from from this non—dom look non—dom status and if you look at calculations , you can at their calculations, you can see works, but don't see how it works, but they don't seem to have allowed for the fact that plenty non—doms
3:13 pm
fact that plenty of non—doms would fact that plenty of non—doms wotthey'll right? >> they'll leave, right? exactly. just exactly. exactly. and i'm just having some of these having a look at some of these numbers so they think it numbers now. so they think it will raise £3.2 billion. and this, can tell, will raise £3.2 billion. and this, from can tell, will raise £3.2 billion. and this, from study tell, will raise £3.2 billion. and this, from study from the comes from a study from the university wannick, which university of wannick, which maybe shouting maybe they should be shouting a bit that this is a bit more about that this is a university study they are university study that they are basing everything on. but fair enough. according to this, enough. and according to this, there are the 500 wealthiest non—doms . each of them would non—doms. each of them would have to pay additional taxes of £6.4 million each in order to generate that £3.2 billion. so that's not necessarily going to happen. that's not necessarily going to happen . and i think it's happen. and i think it's important to note that that that is not necessarily going to happen. but olivia, thank you very, very much. olivia there are our political correspondent . that joining me now . i believe that joining me now or very shortly is the labour member of for parliament sheffield, south. we're going to go to clive very, very shortly. we are actually now going to go to a developing story which is
3:14 pm
what's happening in israel. so israel forces and hamas, hamas has threatened israel's southern city of ashkelon with a major rocket barrage and has warned residents to leave home by 5 pm. local time. so that was is 3 pm. uk time. so the deadline on that they've set and as we go live there now so we can just see this second a massive explosion has just taken place and a series of explosions are currently taking place. this is gaza city that you're looking at now . plumes of smoke rising into now. plumes of smoke rising into the sky and as we can see, that there are missiles raining down through the sky. look earlier, the terror group hamas declared that they will not negotiate , that they will not negotiate, that they will not negotiate, that whilst airstrikes in gaza continue and they have threatened to kill one captive for every palestinian home
3:15 pm
bombed without warning. these again, i want to remind you, are live images at the moment. but as explosions are continuing to take place , at latest reports in take place, at latest reports in israel say that the death toll from the hamas attacks has reached 1000 people. all and israeli retaliation has claimed the lives of almost 700 palestinians. this is charlie peters joins me now. he's in tel aviv . we're going to keep these aviv. we're going to keep these images up on the screen, but charlie peters will talk to us now from tel aviv. charlie, thank you very, very much . yeah. thank you very, very much. yeah. so what's the latest? and it does seem like we are right now at a very crucial point where tensions, frankly , bombs are tensions, frankly, bombs are going to continue to go . off going to continue to go. off click now , israel has been cleared. >> the idf believes, of hamas militant , >> the idf believes, of hamas militant, and they are now in a phase of reciprocal rocket and airstrike attacks. >> now , hamas warned at 3 pm.
3:16 pm
>> now, hamas warned at 3 pm. local time that it would be hitting ashkelon at 5 pm. and it has followed through on its word, as you say, in the last 15 minutes. >> a huge barrage of rockets flying over from the gaza strip and many of them hitting, it appears ashkelon . and over here appears ashkelon. and over here in tel aviv, the air raid sirens have whirred into action several times in the last hour and a half. we've been taking shelter here and we have heard that the iron dome defence system , iron dome defence system, israel's air defence system , israel's air defence system, taking up its actions and destroying rockets overhead. one explosion about an hour ago couldn't have been any more than a few kilometres away , say hamas a few kilometres away, say hamas has also claimed to have attacked airport in the last attacked the airport in the last hour and and a town just hour and a half. and a town just 40km east of gaza , also reported 40km east of gaza, also reported airstrikes in the last hour. so very significant couple of hours for hamas air efforts now in israel. of course , they have the israel. of course, they have the iron dome defence system , but iron dome defence system, but they are also, it appears,
3:17 pm
preparing for a ground assault. troops are amassing on that southern border with the gaza strip as it clears out all remaining hamas militants in the kibbutzes and the small farming communities that are there. but as they prepare to launch that likely ground assault in the next 24 to 48 hours, they're also contending with the very miserable experience of picking up the pieces of the destruction left by hamas terrorists in those communities . people i've those communities. people i've spoken to today have reported really just the most appalling stories as what has happened to their loved ones. many of their family members , many their family members, many of their friends, whom are still friends, some of whom are still missing, presumed dead missing, some are presumed dead . many, know been . many, they know have been captured . it is a horrifying captured. it is a horrifying ordeal and as it all goes on, air raid sirens are likely to continue in tel aviv and across central and southern israel over the next 12 hours . the next 12 hours. >> charlie, thank you very much. that's charlie peters there, who is out in tel aviv for us. you are looking at live images there from gaza here now, which is
3:18 pm
currently on fire in a harbour area in gaza. it possibly a fuel pipeline or something. it does appear certainly to have ignited and to be continuing to burn. and also explosions reported in ashkelon, which is where hamas have threatened. in fact, just as we are talking, there was another explosion there. this is still gaza. but but it does look as though the israelis are continuing this continuing to bombard this specific bit of it as the camera does zoom out. i'm hoping that we might be able to see a little bit more of the destruction . but bit more of the destruction. but yes, it's worth noting that there are missiles in the sky as we speak and hamas warned israel to essentially evacuate ashkelon, which we can look at now. there we go. so that is ashkelon , a little bit of it ashkelon, a little bit of it anyway. now this is the area where hamas has said they're
3:19 pm
going to target. and i think we can see see the traces there, can't we, of some fire which may have been intercepted by israel's iron dome. there is some smoke billowing in the background there . hamas have background there. hamas have said that they are going to kill one captive for every palestine home bombed without warning. and the latest reports on the death toll from the hamas attacks in israel has reached 1000 people. and the israeli retaliation has claimed the lives of almost 700 palestinians. so that is the footage there of ashkelon , which footage there of ashkelon, which we are expecting really is going to come under serious increased fire in the coming hours. we will bring all of that to you, as much of it as we can take anyway . i as much of it as we can take anyway. i think i'm just going to move on slightly now from what we can see here in ashkelon and we'll be going back to charlie peters at some point
3:20 pm
throughout the course of this show. very concerning situations, a massive escalation in place in in violence taking place in israel and gaza. i will have loads more to come for you before our 4:00pm, including as well . whilst we keep these well. whilst we keep these images on the screens here, including the uk divisions over the conflict in the middle east after thousands in london showed their reports, their support for hamas and the palestinian cause. i thought it was interesting that look, as we look at these images here in israel, that's ashkelon, we'll show you some other ones from gaza very shortly. keep crossing shortly. and we'll keep crossing between them. what it seems so far doesn't it? but clashes far away doesn't it? but clashes are happening right here in britain. clashes are happening outside the israeli embassy in london. you've got people driving edgware road in driving down edgware road in london. you've got people in acton all acton. you've got all these people waving the palestinian flags and it appears showing support for what's going on in israel. i believe we're going to go back now to charlie peters , go back now to charlie peters, who is in tel aviv for us.
3:21 pm
charlie, what's the latest then, as the onslaught continuing ? as the onslaught continuing? >> it appears to be more than just ashkelon being targeted right now. this appears to be a complex idf attack from the hamas militants in the gaza strip. reports in the last ten minutes saying that the air raid sirens are whirring in northern israel as well as well as near the west bank. so clearly a coordinated, massive effort fired off by hamas here. they have fired well over 40,500 rockets since saturday. it's said that their arsenal stretches into the tens of thousands. stretches into the tens of thousands . so it's likely that thousands. so it's likely that we could see more of these complex attacks occurring in the future, especially in the next 12 hours. what's unique here, of course, is that they warned the citizens of ashkelon the citizens of ashkelon that the strike occurring. usually in strike was occurring. usually in this between those in this conflict between those in gaza and israel . it's the gaza and israel. it's the israelis who offer a warning often very directly. but now it appears that the hamas militants are doing the same so that
3:22 pm
citizens can leave ashkelon and other areas . okay charlie, thank other areas. okay charlie, thank you very much. >> charlie peters there out in tel aviv. we're going to go back to charlie, what he was saying there appear to there is that it does appear to be a seriously coordinated attack taking place. you are looking at scenes there from gaza, massive explosions. we were showing you footage from ashkelon earlier. missiles were in the sky there, many them, in the sky there, many of them, thankfully , have not hit any thankfully, have not hit any targets. however, one would thankfully, have not hit any targets. thatever, one would thankfully, have not hit any targets. that the one would thankfully, have not hit any targets. that the barrageuld thankfully, have not hit any targets. that the barrage isi imagine that the barrage is going continue a huge going to continue to a huge escalation violence in gaza, escalation in violence in gaza, palestine and israel, but loads more still to come between now and 4:00, i am going to be talking about whether or not we should concerned as a nation talking about whether or not we shouwe're concerned as a nation talking about whether or not we shouwe're seeing1ed as a nation talking about whether or not we shouwe're seeing some a nation talking about whether or not we shouwe're seeing some a thism that we're seeing some of this drama tendency drama and militant tendency overflowing here on the streets. we are also going to have a look at what keir starmer actually said in his conference speech. beyond the glitter bomb . there beyond the glitter bomb. there was there, heck was quite a lot in there, a heck of about the nhs, of a lot in there about the nhs, about home building and about what leader he wants to what kind of leader he wants to be portray . a sense be trying to portray. a sense labour a genuine honest party
3:23 pm
labour is a genuine honest party for working people with a sense of decency at its core . that's of decency at its core. that's what keir starmer of course, will want us to make sure that the takeaway is patrick christys here. gb news. i'll see you

3:28 pm
feeling that things just aren't working public services are broken, their own cost of living are in crisis . are in crisis. >> people can't afford food for their tables. and think he their tables. and i think he offered a hope that there can be a different future for people . a different future for people. the nhs working better and education system working better and working people sharing in any new prosperity that comes . any new prosperity that comes. >> is there not a concern, though , that there won't really though, that there won't really be able to pay for anything that they've said? >> i think he made it clear there's going to be hard choices and things are not to going change overnight. yeah, did change overnight. yeah, he did talk reform . talk about a decade of reform. you one term labour you know, one term labour government for five years is not going to be able to turn things around with the long term decisions, not the sticking plaster that he referred to repeatedly. >> the tories have employed the it's a long term plan to get things nana a little bit of a get out of jail card to say , get out of jail card to say, look, the country is in such a mess. >> it's going to take me at least two terms to sort this out. well well, no, i think it's
3:29 pm
really think, you know, the pubuc really think, you know, the public can see through rhetoric and what you might call for want of a better term. >> can i use that on earth? >> can i use that on earth? >> not really, no. >> not really, no. >> and i'm to. going i've used it now. >> all right. we're all >> it's all right. we're all adults no i would adults here. yeah. no i would just like to say sorry if anybody was offended. carry on. yeah. >> the public can see through that. >> they . they know what the >> they. they know what the reality of life is . reality of life is. >> they can see that the waiting lists in the nhs are so long they're not going to be fixed in a year or two years. you know, the labour government had a year or two years. you know, thwyears labour government had a year or two years. you know, thwyears labo he government had a year or two years. you know, thwyears labo he turned nent had a year or two years. you know, thwyears labo he turned theseiad 13 years and he turned these things around and it will take a penod things around and it will take a period of years for a new labour government to do the same. >> okay . all right. when it >> okay. all right. when it comes to things windfall comes to things like a windfall tax have been tax as well, you guys have been extremely hot that. do you extremely hot on on that. do you think that's really going to work? i mean , it is they're work? i mean, it is they're already paying tax about 75. so when it comes to , you know, when it comes to, you know, paying when it comes to, you know, paying for a lot in this country , it's about non—dom tax status and about windfall tax. yes and it's about windfall tax. yes >> under the things like it was
3:30 pm
mentioned the other day, angela rayner spoke about the extra money we can get out of some development sites to pay for new affordable housing. so yes, we've got to look for all those measures. of course we have. and then what we will say and it's a realistic answer, is once the economy starts growing, then there will be extra taxes . and there will be extra taxes. and it's how you use those taxes to make sure they aren't tax cuts for the rich, but they go to improve public services. >> but but the problem for me when it comes to non—doms is, is this so hmrc publishes this right? so hmrc publishes annual statistics on non—domiciled taxpayers . yeah. non—domiciled taxpayers. yeah. according figures , according to these figures, there are 55,200 uk residents who claim non—dom in 2022. that represents . 0.08% of the uk represents. 0.08% of the uk population . of those there are population. of those there are basically 500 that are seriously wealthy. right and those are the ones that you want to tax and thatis ones that you want to tax and that is underpinning your economic vision for fixing the nhs. >> that's going to fix a part of the problem in the nhs to begin
3:31 pm
with. >> of course it is, and we've got a particular asset goes away, doesn't it? no, no, no. that will be an ongoing benefit each year because remember that well , i each year because remember that well, i don't think each year because remember that well , i don't think there's much well, i don't think there's much evidence that there is going to walk away from. >> have we? >> have we? >> yes, but they're going to pay ordinary tax like everybody else pays. and think that pays. and i don't think that that should be a problem that is a should be a problem for who are wealthy for people who are that wealthy , as you just said. so i'm pretty optimistic that that isn't going to challenge to isn't going to be a challenge to push people out. >> could go i mean , >> they could go i mean, portugal, italy and spain are a few nearby countries who have massively more beneficial tax schemes for people who fit into that, that class of people , as that, that class of people, as it were. well, why wouldn't they just go there? >> they're pretty confident and certainly i think rachel reeves gave performance yesterday gave a performance yesterday which would lead one believe which would lead one to believe that the measures she's putting together, the financial arrangements are going to be ones that actually work . i think ones that actually work. i think most of us have got real confidence that rachel is going to these things and to deliver on these things and we should be looking. we should
3:32 pm
be sure be looking to make sure that everyone pays their share everyone pays their fair share and where people are benefiting currently from tax arrangements that help the very rich to the disadvantage of working people , disadvantage of working people, then we have to be on the side of working people. >> all right. look, clive, thank you very, very absolutely. you very, very much. absolutely. pleasure to have you on the show. you've created show. and i think you've created a for us already. a viral moment for us already. so best day ever so it's clive. best day ever now, you'll in the now, othennise you'll be in the show. baxter, is, show. clive baxter, who is, of course, mp for sheffield course, the mp for sheffield south. right. okay look, between now 4:00, we're going to now and 4:00, we're going to keep what's keep you updated with what's happening . these are happening in gaza. these are live shots. well that was a clip of keir starmer, of course. but these are live shots of gaza right now. okay. so more explosions taking place or certainly israel continuing to bombard there. it is also worth noting as well that this is part, according to charlie peters, of a much wider israeli offensive into gaza. possibly, possibly , possibly the start of possibly, possibly the start of some kind of a land invasion, an incursion in, as it were, into
3:33 pm
gaza , for what it's worth, of gaza, for what it's worth, of hamas has said that they are going to kill a hostage for every single piece of a palestinian home that is destroyed. so watch this space. but now keir starmer obviously made some big economic promises in his keynote speech at labour conference. talking about conference. i was talking about all that after your all of that after your headlines. you . it is 333. headlines. okay you. it is 333. >> i'm aaron armstrong in the gb newsroom with the hamas terror group has launched renewed rocket attacks on israel targeting the city of ashkelon. these these strikes were launched from the gaza strip a short time ago . the militant short time ago. the militant group warned residents of the southern city to leave by 5 pm. local time, which was more than half an hour ago. air raid sirens have been heard elsewhere in israel . its defence forces in israel. its defence forces claim more than 4500 rockets have been launched by hamas since saturday. the israeli embassy to the us says more than 1000 of its citizens have been
3:34 pm
killed in the violence since the latest attacks come in response to an unprecedented barrage of israeli airstrikes on gaza, forcing nearly 200,000 people to flee . israel's continuing to flee. israel's continuing to bomb the enclave. these pictures are from a port on the gaza coastline . it is continuing to coastline. it is continuing to burn apartment blocks, schools and a united nations building are among those hit by hundreds of attacks. the un has warned israel its siege of gaza is illegal under international law , but has also said the abduction of hostages by hamas is forbidden to point 3 million people live there. the un is warning of a mounting humanitarian disaster. addressing the labour party conference in liverpool, sir keir starmer condemned the hamas attacks . attacks. >> yes, i am shocked and appalled by the events in israel. i utterly condemn the senseless murder of men, women and children, including british citizens, in cold blood by the terrorists of hamas. this party
3:35 pm
believes in the two state solution a palestinian state along side a safe and secure israel . but this action by along side a safe and secure israel. but this action by hamas does nothing for palestine liens, and israel must always have the right to defend her people . people. >> that's it for the moment. more news at the top of the next houn more news at the top of the next hour. more on our website right now. that's gbnews.com . direct now. that's gbnews.com. direct bullion sponsors. >> the finance report on gb news for gold and silver investment . for gold and silver investment. >> a quick look at the markets today. the pound will buy you $1.2262 and ,1.1565. the price of gold £1,515.18 per ounce. the ftse 100 is at 7614 points.
3:36 pm
>> direct bullion sponsors the finance report on gb news for gold and silver investment . gold and silver investment. welcome back to liverpool, where we are at the labour party conference. >> we've just heard from sir keir starmer. more on that shortly. but as explosions caused the israel—hamas war caused by the israel—hamas war continue back the uk , the continue back in the uk, the conflict has translated onto both protests vigils and both protests and vigils and a pro—palestine demonstration took place near the israeli embassy in london last night. place near the israeli embassy in london last night . we have in london last night. we have seen similar scenes in australia where crowds were recorded and saying some absolutely disgusting things about jews. we've seen similar ish scenes in berlin as well , the netherlands, berlin as well, the netherlands, but this was on the streets of london. now, yesterday, the police were very keen to say that they didn't think that any hate crimes had taken place. i mean , i would quite like to have
3:37 pm
mean, i would quite like to have a closer look at that because i don't quite understand how celebrating the, you know, rape and death of the jewish population is probably not a hate but there we go. ray hate crime, but there we go. ray addison joins gb news addison joins us now, gb news reporter for the very latest on this. so, ray, a concern about out lawlessness or frankly, pro terrorist sympathies on the streets of britain . what's the streets of britain. what's the latest . latest. >> yes. well, good afternoon to you, patrick. you can probably just see just over my left shoulder, the police van parked up on that private street outside of the israeli embassy. now, of course, there has been a police presence here today , police presence here today, including armed police officers and officers on motorbikes as well. they've been coming and going. and that's because of that protest that pro—palestine demonstration which took place outside of the embassy last night. it involved hundreds of people, groups, including stop the war and the palestine solidarity campaign. they were waving placards , cards, which
3:38 pm
waving placards, cards, which said for , quote, end the said for, quote, end the occupation and they were letting off fireworks, lighting flares as well. they've sprayed graffiti free palestine graffiti onto the buildings behind our camera. they've spray sprayed that onto the road itself as well . and lots of stickers just well. and lots of stickers just littering the area. now, in order to prepare for that demonstration, the police actually brought in these very heavy barricades, which i hope you can see just behind me as well, these very heavy barricades . and normally they're barricades. and normally they're not here. they're designed to stop vehicles from approaching these gates and getting too much access. these gates and getting too much access . we know that to people access. we know that to people within this area. last night were arrested as well. and today i've been chatting to members of the community, shopkeepers , the community, shopkeepers, local people here as well, finding out how they feel about what's been going on. i spoke to one jewish gentle woman who was saying that people have the right to protest, but what they do not have the right to do is
3:39 pm
to incite any kind of violence. ispoke to incite any kind of violence. i spoke to a woman who works on this road as well. she said their hr department had sent out an email saying that anyone who doesn't feel safe simply should not come to work. they should work from home if they're concerned that something might happen. shopkeepers happen. certainly shopkeepers here concerned and telling me that fear that protests that they fear that protests could just spark off at any time . and that's their concern. and you can understand that, particularly when we see some of the businesses here have been defaced est with that pro—palestine graffiti. police officers telling me that they fear that this weekend could see a larger protest on saturday. and they're obviously getting prepared for that in that sense. the home secretary suella braverman, she's asked police to increase police areas in largely jewish communities. they've done that. and of course, we know that. and of course, we know that james cleverly, the foreign secretary as well , is urging secretary as well, is urging supporters of palestine to stay
3:40 pm
at home. he says there is no need for people to come out. it causes distress to the jewish community. >> yeah, look, ray, thank you very, very much. it's ray allison there. gb news reporter in west london for us. i am very, very, very concerned about what appears to be a groundswell of sympathy for a terrorist organisation and the eruption of euphona organisation and the eruption of euphoria at the scenes that we saw israeli women being abused and paraded through the streets. the massive loss of life. i think it's an absolute shocker andits think it's an absolute shocker and it's happening not just and it's happening notjust here, but all over europe as well, by the looks of things. and indeed in australia. but gideon falter joins me now is the campaign the chairman of the campaign against you against anti—semitism. thank you very . are you very much, gideon. are you worried that we have just imported load of anti—semites ? >> well, i think we this has been a problem that the jewish community has faced for some time . but the scenes that we've time. but the scenes that we've seen now are absolutely horrendous. >> what hamas has done, you
3:41 pm
know, news coming out today , for know, news coming out today, for example, that were example, that they were beheading babies. >> it's similar to what we >> it's very similar to what we saw with isis and yet the idea that after an isis attack, a massive isis attack, we would have people out on the streets of our cities is letting off fireworks , celebrating, jumping fireworks, celebrating, jumping around, beeping their cars, dancing on the streets. it's just completely unthinkable. >> and yet that is what we have right now. we have people who are out there on the streets who have been celebrating . have been celebrating. >> and one has to wonder what exactly are they celebrating? who are these people all and what are they doing in britain ? what are they doing in britain? >> yeah, absolutely . and is it a >> yeah, absolutely. and is it a hate crime? >> well, if somebody expresses sympathy for a terrorist organisation, then they're breaching british law. >> if somebody says, for example , that jews should be massacred or that the attacks that hamas committed are correct and there should be more of them, they're
3:42 pm
inciting racial hatred. and if those people are in britain and they're doing those things, then they're doing those things, then they're breaching british law. >> yeah , absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> and you know, this is happening across europe. it's happening across europe. it's happening in australia , it's happening in australia, it's happenedin happening in australia, it's happened in canada as well . we happened in canada as well. we are looking at some images that are looking at some images that are taking place at the moment. that's gaza , where there is that's gaza, where there is continuing flames erupting and we see an escalation of that violence. look, gideon, thank you very much. i'm sorry that it's so short and sweet, but we've got a lot to crack on with here. labour party conference. so it's so thank you very much. it's gideon falter, who's the chairman campaign chairman of the campaign against anti—semitic ism. right. okay. so, sir starmer so, sir keir starmer just delivered keynote speech delivered his keynote speech promising decade of national promising a decade of national renewal. what's all of this really mean? focusing on the interests working people interests of working people should they win the next general election? pledging election? that is pledging to get britain building. now the labour announced plans labour leader announced plans for generation of towns for a new generation of towns and suburbs . who better to pick and suburbs. who better to pick through the noise with economics and business editor liam halligan liam, thank you very,
3:43 pm
very much. halligan liam, thank you very, veeroy|ch. halligan liam, thank you very, veeroy from the suburbs, a boy >> boy from the suburbs, a boy from burbs. >> boy from the suburbs, a boy frorthere burbs. >> boy from the suburbs, a boy frorthere we as. >> boy from the suburbs, a boy frorthere we are straight hours >> there we are straight hours straight wherever is straight out of wherever it is anyway, right . well, anyway, so right. well, a million and a half new homes and a load of new towns . that's a load of new towns. that's what's going on. so patrick, you remember after the second world war, clem attlee, the famous labour leader who beat churchill , he did spark a building boom in order to house people that were coming back from war. >> and there's this keir starmer was trying to evoke the spirit of clem attlee again. he talked about those post—war labour new towns. of course, in the late 40s, seconds throughout the 50s, the uk built places like stevenage, like corby , like stevenage, like corby, like milton keynes, milton keynes, the home of the roundabouts that was the last new town that began in the mid 60s. but the thing is, patrick, i'm a bit older than you . i'm 54. i know i look than you. i'm 54. i know i look younger. i'm 54 and we haven't built a new dwelling in this country , a new settlement in my country, a new settlement in my lifetime. yeah. and in my lifetime. yeah. and in my lifetime . the population of the
3:44 pm
lifetime. the population of the uk has gone up by, you know, 15 or 20 million people. so we do need to build new homes and starmer is tapping into that. he's trying to become the party of ownership. he's trying of home ownership. he's trying to the party that's on to become the party that's on the side young people who are the side of young people who are renting struggling renting and struggling to get a deposit together . you know the deposit together. you know the story, you and between us, story, you and me, between us, know many of those people. lots of gb news and of them work at gb news and indeed the country. so it indeed across the country. so it was flag in the ground was a real flag in the ground and that me and something that made me smile. says . and smile. keir starmer says. and guess what? conference we're going to fight the next election on . he's been taking on growth. he's been taking notes from liz truss. >> i must have been . he must >> i must have been. he must have been. i think when it comes to how they're going to pay for a lot of stuff. i did have a labour mp on a little while ago who was adamant that they would be able to raise around £35 billion a year by taxing non—doms and those non—doms won't leave. do you think that labour have costed these plans? >> i personally think £3.5 billion from non—doms is to use
3:45 pm
a technical term, nonsense . why? a technical term, nonsense. why? because a lot of them is an asset manager. i've come across asset manager. i've come across a lot of these people. a lot of them are leaving already because they think starmer going them are leaving already because thnwinlink starmer going them are leaving already because thnwin .nk starmer going them are leaving already because thnwin . people starmer going them are leaving already because thnwin . people who ner going them are leaving already because thnwin . people who are going them are leaving already because thnwin . people who are wealthy to win. people who are wealthy enough in country. enough to live in this country. but from overseas, but to establish themselves as what we call non domicile so they call a non domicile so they don't pay tax on their worldwide income, they're not going sit income, they're not going to sit there tax man come there and let the tax man come and them. they're either and clobber them. they're either going the or going to move out the way or rearrange affairs they going to move out the way or rearrapay affairs they going to move out the way or rearrapay this affairs they going to move out the way or rearrapay this money. they going to move out the way or rearrapay this money. and1ey going to move out the way or rearrapay this money. and it's don't pay this money. and it's not me saying that there not just me saying that there was a treasury research report that the telegraph reported back in june that said this tax on non—doms, rather than raising 3.5 million, it actually costs the treasury 300 million because people would leave, they'd spend less money, they'd do less business here, do less investment. so i do think labour has got a problem . they can't has got a problem. they can't really spend any money, not least because markets least because financial markets are tight and the tories are so tight and like the tories , a labour government will be pretty cash strapped. but i have to say to be positive , i've to say to be positive, i've there was a good atmosphere
3:46 pm
here. there's a lot of momentum here. there's a lot of momentum here at the labour party. it feels to a lot you feels to me a lot like, you know, started to party know, i started coming to party conferences mid it conferences in the mid 1990s. it feels lot like the mid 1990s feels a lot like the mid 1990s when blair and brown were in their ascendancy and people are preparing for power rather than preparing for power rather than preparing to protest . the key preparing to protest. the key question for keir starmer is he tony blair, enough to keep that coalition together of the left who want more spending and more money, higher taxation , and the money, higher taxation, and the centrists in the labour party who want power and not having that money to go berserk with it anyway, right? >> liam thank you very much. liam halligan there. still to come hour, we keep come this hour, we will keep you updated developments on updated on the developments on the conflict between and the conflict between israel and hamas. pictures hamas. these are live pictures in gaza. we're also to going be taking live pictures from israel as well because they are exchanging fire. hamas issued a chilling warning and a chilling threat to israel. and we'll tell you all about that very, very shortly. patrick christys gb news, britain's news
3:47 pm
3:48 pm
3:49 pm
3:50 pm
britain's news. channel >> welcome back. >> welcome back. >> you are with me. patrick christys here in liverpool at the labour party conference. but it's all action elsewhere in the world as well, because the israeli have that israeli military have said that hamas nowhere to hamas operatives have nowhere to hide gaza . we will reach hide in gaza. we will reach them. this is live footage from gaza where missile strikes have hit a series of targets . we hit a series of targets. we actually do have some footage
3:51 pm
for you of some earlier explosions as in gaza as well. so we'll bring those to you in just a second. but basically, hamas has said that they will not negotiate with israel whilst air strikes in gaza continue. they've also issued that chilling threat, which is they said that they're going to kill one captive for every palestinian home that's bombed without out warning. and earlier , we did bring you those pictures of a big explosion in gaza seaport, which is what you're looking at now. so we'll keep you updated. charlie peters, our reporter , is in tel peters, our reporter, is in tel aviv for us and we'll go to him very, very shortly. but let's turn to matters a lot closer to home right here in liverpool where i right now. and it was where i am right now. and it was keir starmer's big speech as him where i am right now. and it was keir his rmer's big speech as him where i am right now. and it was keir his party; big speech as him where i am right now. and it was keir his party havespeech as him where i am right now. and it was keir his party have soughtas him where i am right now. and it was keir his party have sought to him and his party have sought to distance from jeremy distance themselves from jeremy corbyn's on palestine. corbyn's position on palestine. tom hannood joins me now. our deputy political editor tom, once he got past the glitter, i thought he did all right. >> it was extraordinary. i think if glitter really if anything, the glitter really got people the room on
3:52 pm
got the people in the room on the of keir starmer. he the side of keir starmer. he took off jacket . he referred took off his jacket. he referred took off his jacket. he referred to the glitter, a number of occasions. was in occasions. there was a line in the about rolling up his the speech about rolling up his sleeves. there was a line in the speech not being the party speech about not being the party of protest any more, making that clear distinction between where of protest any more, making that cleelabour ction between where of protest any more, making that cleelabour party between where of protest any more, making that cleelabour party usedeen where of protest any more, making that cleelabour party used to where of protest any more, making that cleelabour party used to be|ere of protest any more, making that cleelabour party used to be and the labour party used to be and where labour party is where the labour party is perhaps but i thought what perhaps now, but i thought what was particularly interesting is again, it was quite a cautious speech re—announcing a lot of stuff that had already been said, some rhetoric, some personal note about his old pebble dashed house that he grew up in about his working class dad of course, he describes himself as the son of a toolmaker and it was interesting toolmaker and it was interesting to see that when it came to the policy that was discussed , it policy that was discussed, it didn't really feel that radical, that bold or living up to the right to make the point that they were competent, i think, isn't he? >> he's trying to make the point that the can trust them. that the public can trust them. you when it comes to you know, when it comes to honesty and decency and all of that. saying.
3:53 pm
that. that's what he's saying. the labour party is going to have though, have a huge problem, though, and it's the finances that the country are not country are in. they are not being left with a load of money thisthey're certainly and being left with a load of money thisthejthey'veainly and being left with a load of money thisthejthey've spoken and being left with a load of money thisthejthey've spoken about they've they've spoken about limited that they've they've spoken about limitwould that they've they've spoken about limitwould money. that they've they've spoken about limitwould money. butrt they've they've spoken about limitwould money. but of they would raise money. but of course, growth mission course, their big growth mission depends something keir depends on something that keir starmer speech. starmer did say in the speech. he bulldozer to he wants to take a bulldozer to the in this the planning system in this country . he although i think country. he although i think that the policy doesn't quite match the rhetoric . let me just match the rhetoric. let me just reach over for a second and grab this policy document that i've been by the labour party been handed by the labour party team which talks about how they're going to deliver more housing. 1.5 million more homes. that's 300,000 a year. now this is going to be through new towns and of course extra powers for mayors as well . a bit of mayors as well. a bit of a planning passport as they describe for urban brownfield areas. but what that is, is some targeted, specific ways to do housing. what it isn't is sweeping planning reform. that's not getting rid of the whole system we have now that is making the system work better in certain areas and actually
3:54 pm
looking at this policy, looking at what's what's in this document here. this is not a million miles away from what michael gove announced just a few months ago. if you remember the extension to cambridge and the extension to cambridge and the extension to leeds, the specific areas where extra building will happen, development corporations and the like targeted development, rather than sweeping planning reform. okay, now the rhetoric of the conservative party in the labour party are very different, right? the labour party is talking planning talking about sweeping planning reform. conservative party reform. the conservative party is policy is talking about targeted policy . in the actuality in the in . but in the actuality in the in this policy here, the labour party is not talking about sweeping planning reform. they're talking about targeted building policy. they're talking about targeted building policy . and that's the building policy. and that's the same as the conservatives . same as the conservatives. >> and the other big factor again is things like a windfall tax non—dom status as well, tax and non—dom status as well, being to fund a couple of being used to fund a couple of key areas. one of which the key areas. one of which is the nhs , the private schools, vat nhs, the private schools, vat issue as well. they're saying that that's going to go to help fund the state system . et to do fund the state system. et to do those things really add up for
3:55 pm

4:07 pm
this is britain's news channel. yes >> welcome back. now let's turn to the latest in the conflict between israeli forces and hamas. israeli strikes have hit the sea port of gaza city . this the sea port of gaza city. this is live so that's what's taking place there. but this follows hamas threatening israel's southern city of ashkelon with a major rocket barrage and has warned residents to leave home by 5 pm. local time. so that was 3 pm. our time here. so that was about an hour and seven minutes ago. and the barrage has started earlier. hamas has declared that they will not negotiate whilst airstrikes in gaza continue the terror group have also threatened to kill one captive every palestinian captive for every palestinian home bombed without warning . and home bombed without warning. and there are some unbeliev loveably appalling reports coming out of israel at the moment, which frankly are, i think, too distressing for me to mention at this particular moment in time. but the latest reports in israel say that the death toll from the hamas attacks has reached 1000 people. i think that reality
4:08 pm
people. i think that in reality is going to be a lot higher. whilst israeli retaliation has claimed lives of around 830 claimed the lives of around 830 palestinians. let's go to palestinians. now let's go to tel aviv and speak with our tel aviv now and speak with our reporter charlie peters . reporter charlie peters. charlie, frankly, some sickening stuff coming out of israel at the moment. what's the latest ? the moment. what's the latest? well in the last hour, as you said , we broke the news about said, we broke the news about hamas , warning citizens in hamas, warning citizens in ashkelon that there was an upcoming attack, an attack that they delivered on. >> but it went further than their warnings. it was a coordinated and complex attack across israel. air warnings were heard throughout the country in the southern, central and northern districts . and in the northern districts. and in the ten minutes before we came on air, we heard reports of fire landing from southern lebanon into northern israel. air sirens have also gone off in tel aviv where we are. and of course, there have been those reports in ashkelon, a ginormous rocket barrage firing over just a minute before you came to me,
4:09 pm
the un reported that they had fired up their sirens on the border with southern lebanon as well. so that was all within the last hour. and it seems that the idf, the israeli defence forces , says have back . in , says they have hit back. in the last half hour, we've seen reports of idf airstrikes hitting targets in gaza, where, of course, the hamas government and its its terroristic militias have a strict control over the strip and down its coastline, in particular, where the idf forces struck. it has also returned artilley fire, less precise, of course , than airstrikes into course, than airstrikes into southern lebanon , where it is southern lebanon, where it is highly likely that the people who were attacking the israelis were parts of the palestinian islamic jihad, a separate group from hamas, but nonetheless very closely aligned. also likely supported by iran in their developments there. so a significant outbreak with a complex and coordinated attack by hamas terrorists and then a sharp and no doubt devastating response from the israelis . response from the israelis. >> yeah, and this is going to
4:10 pm
continue in the coming hours. charlie, isn't it? and we have had these threats from hamas to say that they will kill a hostage for every building that is levelled without warning. they say we're looking at gaza now. i mean, clearly loads of buildings have been levelled. one would expect that the hostage situation could well take a turn for the worse. quite quickly . yes absolutely. quickly. yes absolutely. >> there is death at every turn in this developing conflict in this developing story, we have seen , you know, palestinians seen, you know, palestinians being knocked down by israeli airstrikes and hamas terrorists in their extra ordinary and sickening attacks over the weekend from saturday morning, as you mentioned at the beginning, at the top of the hour, beginning, at the top of the hour , some of the acts committed hour, some of the acts committed by southern israel, in by hamas in southern israel, in particular in the kibbutz's, in the farming communities the small farming communities there, unspeakable all there, frankly, unspeakable all at this point. but the reports coming through are grave coming through are very grave indeed. and now in the north of
4:11 pm
the country, we are seeing in southern lebanon, into northern israel more shelling and violence there. we know that dozens of idf soldiers have died in and around those border regions . and even even soldiers regions. and even even soldiers from sayeret mezcal, which is the israeli sas , they share the israeli sas, they share a motto who dares wins or their men have also suffered and died on that border, likely fighting again with palestinian islamic jihad. so it's a widespread led conflict from the air, from the sea and on the ground . and the sea and on the ground. and the next phase is likely to be that much mooted invasion. the ground assault of israeli forces into gaza and hanging over that likely invasion of the idf into gaza is, of course , as you've gaza is, of course, as you've mentioned, the very precursor this hostage situation . hamas, this hostage situation. hamas, in their assault of israel on saturday morning, picked up hundreds of hundreds of hostages. they took people dead or alive and dragged them into gaza. many of them, we know are
4:12 pm
being held there. and there was that threat yesterday that for every building and every strike conducted by israeli air forces in gaza on the gaza strip, that they would execute a hostage farage. now, we haven't seen any reports of that since, but on line, many people have warned israeli parents to tell their children to delete social media, as hamas has issued a warning through its telegram. telegram channels that it may start releasing extreme graphic footage of people begging for their lives. and we might see some of the really horrifying reports that have been floating around in and around gaza and, of course, southern israel , of course, southern israel, where many these atrocities where many of these atrocities occurred . occurred. >> charlie, thank you very much. it's charlie peters in tel aviv. i'm going to go back to you. charlie hour. so charlie later on this hour. so thank very much thank you very much for everything doing for everything that you're doing for us in incredibly, us over there in incredibly, incredibly, incredibly disturbing scenes coming out of southern israel at the moment. more on that as we get it. now sir keir starmer did, of course
4:13 pm
, promise to bulldoze his way through restrictions to build a new britain with new homes, businesses and nhs back on its feet. the labour leader who was confronted by a glitter throwing protester before he could deliver his speech to the party's conference, which, by the result in about 10 the way, will result in about 10 or time of completely or 15 years time of completely no context clips with us all wondering why the labour leader and possibly by that stage prime minister decided to deliver a conference speech with glitter in but we go. he in his hair. but there we go. he praised the spirit of the british despite tory british people, despite the tory project the hope out of project to kick the hope out of this country, promising to reshape country. 1.5 million reshape the country. 1.5 million homes, new towns , modernised homes, new towns, modernised infrastructure, support for green industries, sir keir said the fire of change still burns in britain and it lives on in laboun in britain and it lives on in labour. massive questions about how he's going to pay for any of this. but there we go. now joining me is the former labour mp, luciana berger. luciana, thank you very much. great to have you on the show , especially have you on the show, especially for different for a variety of different reasons actually. we'll talk about speech about keir starmers speech in a minute , if that's all right. but
4:14 pm
minute, if that's all right. but i help feel as though i can't help but feel as though there's hanging there's a bit of a cloud hanging over everything moment, there's a bit of a cloud hanging overthatything moment, there's a bit of a cloud hanging overthatythhat's moment, there's a bit of a cloud hanging overthat ythhat's going oment, there's a bit of a cloud hanging overthatythhat's going on ent, and that is what's going on in israel palestine and the israel and in palestine and the spill onto the streets over spill over onto the streets over here well. some very here as well. some very concerning footage of concerning footage out of outside the israeli embassy . are outside the israeli embassy. are you concerned about what that means for multiculturalism and integration and potential rise integration and potential rise in anti—semitism ? in anti—semitism? >> i've been horrified to see the scenes on london streets of people seemingly celebrating being the most barbaric and horrific acts that we've seen that were perpetrated by hamas, a terrorist organisation when they went into israel on saturday when they threw and they launched thousands of rockets into israel, they went and beheaded people. >> they killed people in their beds, in their homes and their bus they took children bus stops. they took children and pensioners and women . it's and pensioners and women. it's unfathomable. i'm just just now got through reports i was in israel just a couple of months
4:15 pm
ago. a quarter of a mile from the gaza border at kibbutz kfar isa. and i'm just reading reports now of it's still a live and active situation at that community. the idf are clearing booby traps and there are dozens of people that have lost their lives at that. just one community on the southern border. so this is these are horrifying acts. and to know that on our streets that we've seen more than one video of people celebrating, what exactly are they celebrating? and if they're celebrating a proscribed terrorist organisation in hamas, then that is that is a criminal offence and they should and must be held to account. offence and they should and must be yeah,o account. offence and they should and must be yeah, exactly nt. offence and they should and must be yeah, exactly .t. offence and they should and must be yeah, exactly . i think when >> yeah, exactly. i think when i looked at it, i was in rage personally because it just looked to me like what they were celebrating was the death of jewish people and that i find we should not have those kind of people walking the same streets as us would be. my view on it. the labour party has been quite
4:16 pm
strong on this so far. in light of your previous experiences with the labour party, how do you feel labour have handled the situation so far? >> i think the labour party have been extremely robust and unequivocal. we've had first and foremost from the leader of the labour party , keir starmer, in labour party, keir starmer, in the wake of the atrocities on saturday. we've heard from the shadow foreign secretary, david lammy, the labour party unequivocally condemning these barbaric actions committed by a terrorist organisation by hamas and as we've heard in the speech today, keir starmer taking to the to the stage and, and speaking up and speaking out for what have been the most horrifying of actions . horrifying of actions. >> i mean, the party is different now than it was under jeremy corbyn. >> clearly it's completely changed and its conference is incompr parable to the last labour party conference that i attended and back in 2018. they it's unrecognised sizeable from
4:17 pm
i left the labour party and i cannotin i left the labour party and i cannot in any way compare or find any comparison . this is a find any comparison. this is a completely and utterly changed party and keir starmer has changed the party and that's why he's ready to change the country. >> i think that says a lot then. so, so 2018 was your last conference, you said and then you've back now clearly you've come back now clearly feeling that the party has changed, possibly quite significant in that i think let's deal with what keir starmer actually said earlier on. he didn't on. well, initially he didn't get say much because he got get to say much because he got glitter he, by glitter bombed, didn't he, by some individual who was ranting about a public house or we need about a public house or we need a different kind of politics. how do you think he handled that? >> i thought he was outstanding in handled he just in how he handled that. he just brushed himself off and he gave the speech of his life . he the speech of his life. he physically took coat off. he physically took his coat off. he rolled his sleeves up and he got on with it. and the response in that hall was extraordinary. he said something along the lines of if he thinks that will bother me , he doesn't me at all,
4:18 pm
me, he doesn't know me at all, which was pretty good, i think, you he said in you know, he also said in response and it wasn't it wasn't scripted, he said . that's scripted, he said. that's protest and we're the party for power. >> you know, that was interesting. it was because he did say that he said this is this is why we've changed the party. why think the party. this is why i think the implication there that there was quite fringe quite a lot of that fringe nuttery ago, really. nuttery a few years ago, really. and that that's gone you and that that's gone well, you know, you can't do know, you know, you can't do anything shouting from the sidelines and you can't be a party protest today party of protest and today we see completely different see a completely different party, a changed that party, a changed party that a party, a changed party that a party that keir starmer has changed to make this a party that's ready for government. >> and he went on out in >> and he went to on set out in his speech today what his plan is government, how we need is for government, how we need and see his and will see under his leadership renewal leadership a decade of renewal that we've got a party to bring back. hope to country. yeah back. hope to this country. yeah i think some people might be thinking , i think some people might be thinking, good grief, is he already it's going to already saying it's going to take him full just to take him two full terms just to sort mess out that we've got sort the mess out that we've got at the moment? sort the mess out that we've got at tbutnoment? sort the mess out that we've got at tbut people? sort the mess out that we've got at tbut people might want to see >> but people might want to see
4:19 pm
a immediate action. a bit more immediate action. >> but there's a lot >> well, yes, but there's a lot to do. and he set out a very ambitious plan and lots of different components it, different components of it, whether the creating great whether it's the creating great british , which is going british energy, which is going to find its scotland , to find its home in scotland, it's to that we're it's going to ensure that we're creating country and creating in this country and generating energy rather generating our own energy rather than importing from countries than importing it from countries run by dictators . you know, we run by dictators. you know, we are all suffering, paying extraordinary household energy bills. today. it's keir starmer and his team that have come up with a answer to how we can actually tackle that and make a difference and not just for us all to, you know, enjoy cheaper electricity and gas bills and see our cost of living go down. but it's also the thousands of jobsit but it's also the thousands of jobs it creates and the opportunity which we've seen squandered under this current tory government . tory government. >> okay. and i think i'm right in saying that dale, vince, have just stop oil has said that he's no longer donating to the labour party , which is quite good party, which is quite good timing because for a little while that was a bit of a squiffy question mark over the labour i think when labour party i think when it
4:20 pm
came well, hang on a minute, came to well, hang on a minute, you know, if you are taking money campaign money from a campaign group, that's know, that's sometimes, you know, causes disobedience it's causes civil disobedience, it's probably when causes civil disobedience, it's protarey when causes civil disobedience, it's protare trying when causes civil disobedience, it's protare trying to when causes civil disobedience, it's protare trying to shape when causes civil disobedience, it's protare trying to shape a when causes civil disobedience, it's protare trying to shape a green] you are trying to shape a green policy. have policy. so that appears to have stopped. going ask you, stopped. i'm going to ask you, i don't you're in the don't know if you're in the business of making predictions. i'm what i'm going to ask you what is your election your prediction for the election then election is then, for when the election is going place or for the going to take place or for the outcome the result? outcome for the result? for the result? outcome for the result? for the resulmean, know, politics >> i mean, you know, politics isn't it's know, isn't science and it's you know, it's a it's a it's anything can happenin it's a it's a it's anything can happen in politics. but i think certainly reflecting on the polls and, you know, listening to the country and i spend a lot of time, you know, i hear this. this has been my for home ten years and seems to meet my friends from the north—west and lots of time across the country . there is such an utter desperation of wanting a change and not just a change for change sake, but wanting someone that's going to have grown up. politics that's going to show integrity. what we heard from keir starmer today is a stop and an end to this sticking plaster politics. we need to have that vision to
4:21 pm
make for the future, make the jobs for the future, the change for the future , the the change for the future, the hope future. and on that hope for the future. and on that basis, i'm very, very, very cautiously and looking at the polls that have shown a labour lead for a number of months , i lead for a number of months, i think that we're on the precipice of a labour government. but i'm not complacent and history teaches us in 1990, 1992 teaches us that , you know, we drink the kool aid. what looks like 13 months out and you know, that's, that's not a good thing to do. so you've asked me the question i have. i'm extremely, extremely cautious. but i think, you know , if you contrast what we hear and see today in this conference objectively compared to the malaise and just the what we saw, well, a different vibe , saw, well, a different vibe, different vibe. everyone, everyone has said it's a different vibe. you know, again, you can't contrast what has happened. >> i think i think there's i think there was you know, if rishi sunak's serious rishi sunak's big, serious things were right, okay, more a—levels and, you know, a couple
4:22 pm
of bits and bobs like that and just banning smoking. i just found that i just found that a little bit bizarre. that's not, of course , to say that there of course, to say that there aren't there are criticisms of keir starmer as well in terms of the to have. >> rishi sunak right though >> rishi sunak was right though , he last week , because what he said last week is need change. is that we need change. >> there you go. right. >> wow. there you go. all right. okay. at the end okay. got one in at the end there. thank you very there. lisa, thank you very much. have you as much. great to have you on, as is the former labour luciana is the former labour mp luciana berger. up, we are berger. now, coming up, we are still reaction still getting reaction to starmer be joined still getting reaction to stejonathan be joined still getting reaction to stejonathan ashworth, be joined still getting reaction to stejonathan ashworth, the oined still getting reaction to stejonathan ashworth, the shadow by jonathan ashworth, the shadow paymaster plus we will paymaster general. plus we will keep you up to date with everything on in gaza as everything going on in gaza as well. both sides are hit with everything going on in gaza as well. missileies are hit with everything going on in gaza as well. missile strikes. 1it with everything going on in gaza as well. missile strikes. 1it witiare more missile strikes. those are live the port more missile strikes. those are liv gaza. the port more missile strikes. those are liv gaza. of the port more missile strikes. those are livgaza. of numerousnrt in gaza. one of numerous different places that have been hit. of israel hit. but on top of that, israel is a coordinated is now facing a coordinated attack , including from inside attack, including from inside lebanon, to which it has responded . so a serious responded. so a serious escalation patrick christys gb news, britain's news channel

4:33 pm
of attacks. if you're watching on tv, these pictures from a port on the gaza coastline from about an hour ago . in other about an hour ago. in other news, labour leader sir keir starmer has promised a decade of national renewal if his party is elected at the next general election . addressing the labour election. addressing the labour party conference in liverpool today, he pledged to build a better britain and announced plans to create new towns and build more homes. those are your latest news headlines. more for you at gbnews.com . you at gb news.com. >> you at gbnews.com. >> the shocking events of the israel—hamas war have translated into both protests and vigils in the uk. a pro—palestine demonstration took place near the israeli embassy last night while a jewish community vigil for israel was also held in
4:34 pm
westminster . for jewish schools westminster. for jewish schools in the capital, have even stepped up security. i mean, depressingly, they've even told students that they can refrain from wearing their in from wearing their blazers in public. from wearing their blazers in pubuc.so from wearing their blazers in public. so as not to advertise their faith. mean, did we their faith. i mean, when did we become of country, you become this kind of country, you know? is know? joining me now is the director maidenhead synagogue director of maidenhead synagogue is rabbi jonathan and is rabbi jonathan romain and journalist contributor to the jewish . it's sandy jewish chronicle. it's sandy rushdie. you, thank you rushdie. both of you, thank you very, much. great to have rushdie. both of you, thank you very both much. great to have rushdie. both of you, thank you very both on uch. great to have rushdie. both of you, thank you very both on the great to have rushdie. both of you, thank you very both on the show. to have rushdie. both of you, thank you very both on the show. of have rushdie. both of you, thank you very both on the show. of course, you both on the show. of course, albeit for absolutely devastating reasons. sandy, some shocking news coming out of israel at the moment. literally right now , we understand that. i right now, we understand that. i mean, some some horrific footage of what appears to be people having been burned alive and absolutely just sickening things taking place at the moment. i'm going to ask you to comment on what's going closer to home, what's going on closer to home, though how feel at this though. how do you feel at this idea that we clearly have clearly have a cohort of people in britain who want israel and dare i say , jews wiped off the dare i say, jews wiped off the face of the earth ? face of the earth? >> it doesn't make me feel good.
4:35 pm
>> it doesn't make me feel good. >> and but i do think it's true . so i think what's jews have in a large part, a wonderful life. here we have jewish schools , we here we have jewish schools, we have kosher restaurants, we have kosher butchers, we have synagogue that we can freely go to the systems, the institutions , the charities. >> they're all in place there. >> they're all in place there. >> for us to have a wonderful life in britain. and as i said, in a large part, we do , however, in a large part, we do, however, andits in a large part, we do, however, and it's a big however, whenever there is tension in the middle east, especially in israel, but not always, but especially in israel, it does seem to have a disproportionate impact on britain's jewish community. >> so, for example, we can freely stroll to a kosher restaurant , but it's freely stroll to a kosher restaurant, but it's highly likely that there'll be a convoy of cars driving past shouting allahu akbar, you know, for what reason? >> for what reason? >> for what reason? >> i was taking my kids to the park in golders green the other day, the day after the attack, where reeling. >> we're speaking relatives >> we're speaking to relatives in israel. are running
4:36 pm
in israel. the kids are running to the swings and that's what we hean >> cars driving past, honking , >> cars driving past, honking, waving, waving palestinian flags , religious jewish boys are not wearing the kippot . sorry. yeah wearing the kippot. sorry. yeah >> and i think i think and i do think as well, the reluctance by certain media outlets to say what is happening in israel is a terrorist attack by a terrorist organisation, i think speaks volumes . but organisation, i think speaks volumes. but i'm going to go to you now, rabbi jonathan romain . you now, rabbi jonathan romain. yeah. again, you know, should it be a hate crime, do you think? should it should europe as a whole be worried that we have imported a lot of people who clearly hold anti—semitic views as well? >> let's leave aside the people. but certainly the anti—semitic views are very bad indeed. and there is this unfortunate correlation between israel and jews. there's a lot of jews who have a connection with israel , have a connection with israel, but it doesn't mean to say they're responsible for israel. and time again, you and time and time again, you will get people who perhaps will get people who are perhaps against israel or against
4:37 pm
israeli who then sort israeli policies who then sort of identified british jews as being responsible. you know, i'm often asked, why are you sending missiles into gaza like me personally, you know, as if i'm a general in the israeli army. so, yes , i care about the land so, yes, i care about the land of israel. the people of israel, whether with the whether i agree with the government is government of israel, is a totally different matter . so totally different matter. so there's overlay . but the there's this overlay. but the connection, a force, a force responsibility of the british jews as responsible for israel and unfortunately can then tip over from a political logical argument into a religious hatred. you know, there's a legitimate criticism of israel as is every country, including our own. but when that, then tips into hating someone who is jewish just because they were jewish, then then you have to ask, well, is this actually anti semitism being disguised as anti—zionism? and that's why there was such an outcry three years ago during the seven years when there was this worry that what was until then fairly
4:38 pm
limited anti—semitism was seen to be moving centre stage. and i was so pleased that he's gone and labour seems to have it. >> so sandy , sandy, i'll bring >> so sandy, sandy, i'll bring you back in now . is there you back in now. is there a valid criticism of israel, do you think ? and where is that you think? and where is that line? where is that line, i suppose, between supporting palestinians and being anti—semitic ? i anti—semitic? i >> well, in answer to your question , something i have a lot question, something i have a lot of respect for spoken about, i don't think that every sentence when it comes to anti—semitism should be, oh, i know we don't agree with all the actions of the israeli government, but please don't kidnap and justify the rape of her. you know, it shouldn't have to be a precursor to every defence when it comes to every defence when it comes to jew hate . to jew hate. >> it shouldn't have to be. i'm a a british jew. >> i'm got nothing to do with israel like there always has to be the defence before there's
4:39 pm
anything else. and actually you also mentioned people that i suppose you're talking about immigrants , you said people that immigrants, you said people that are brought to the uk. i actually think the issue has got actually think the issue has got a lot to do with people who are born and bred in the uk. if you walk down the edgware road on the night that it was all breaking the news the breaking all the news of the israeli there israeli attacks, there were fireworks there fireworks being set, there were fireworks being set, there were fireworks going off in celebration. handing celebration. people were handing out sweets and there was another. when there was another israel—gaza war a few years ago, we went into an arab shop to pick up some things that we liked eating and they also started handing out sweets and celebration. and i can tell you, the people that were handing them out, um, were born and bred in britain. so, so there is to my mind , a very significant my mind, a very significant clear issue. i don't know if it's education, i don't know what it is, but to say there's not an issue and to have to justify it every time with criticising the israeli government shouldn't be
4:40 pm
shouldn't be right. >> okay. i mean there is an issue. there is an issue we've seen , i think one of the most seen, i think one of the most grabbing pieces of footage that i saw anyway was from a refugee camp or a processing centre on one of the greek islands. that was they were all in their cockahoop , you know, dancing cockahoop, you know, dancing around, around , around, jumping around, screaming all the kind of usual slogans. i thought, well, screaming all the kind of usual slogknow, i thought, well, screaming all the kind of usual slogknow, theseiought, well, screaming all the kind of usual slogknow, these people well, screaming all the kind of usual slogknow, these people are l, screaming all the kind of usual slogknow, these people are going you know, these people are going to coming with views to to be coming with their views to a country, potentially our country . and i'm just not sure country. and i'm just not sure that's right thing. rabbi that's the right thing. rabbi jonathan back to jonathan i'll throw it back to you jewish schoolchildren you on jewish schoolchildren currently not safe in britain . currently not safe in britain. >> well, can i just answer the previous question a bit more strongly and say that if perfectly legitimate, to criticise israel? the biggest criticism critics of israel are in israel itself and half of the knesset parliament, half of the population are opposed to the government of the day, whichever day that is. but there's a very big difference between criticising a policy of israel and calling for its destruction , and that's the difference. and
4:41 pm
hamas and are actually the hamas and iran are actually the calling for the destruction of israel . it's not an argument israel. it's not an argument about this border or that border . saying you do . it's actually saying you do not to exist. so it's on not deserve to exist. so it's on a totally different level. and sandy quite right. mean , sandy is quite right. i mean, what was happening in the streets appalling what was happening in the streets these appalling what was happening in the streets these peopleing what was happening in the streets these people were because these people were actually celebrating savagery . actually celebrating savagery. they were celebrating the fact that women, children were being kidnapped, taken off hostage, and it was very evident from hamas own footage, their own evidence was that they weren't attacking military personnel. they weren't attacking military depots. they were just going into the streets and gunning people down or they were going to this music festival and just shooting indiscriminately . shooting indiscriminately. that's war. that's criminal that's not war. that's criminal action. that's against geneva convention . it's actually convention. it's actually a crime against humanity. it's a it's a term that's easy to band around . but i it's a term that's easy to band around. but i think it's a term that's easy to band around . but i think we're around. but i think we're actually seeing it in the hamas attack on israel at the moment . attack on israel at the moment. and so anyone who celebrates that or celebrates that brutality and savagery, you really have to question their
4:42 pm
morality. it's not politics. it's not entirely different. sir keir starmer yeah, i mean, it's some of some of. >> sorry, we're going to have to leave it there. apologies. i'm going to have to i'm going to have to just cut across you, i'm afraid. because we are afraid. sorry. because we are out can i just out of time, but can i just thank you coming on thank both of you for coming on and just having such a robust discussion it's great discussion about it? it's great to as well and to have your insight as well and obviously as well. as obviously take care as well. as the director of maidenhead synagogue, journalist romain, and journalist and contributor to the jewish chronicle, sandy rushdie . chronicle, sandy rushdie. there's plenty still to there's plenty more still to come on this some unspeak come on this show. some unspeak situations taking place as we speak in israel and gaza. reports of infants having been killed and reports of people having been burned alive . there having been burned alive. there is a serious ongoing escalation. now, what you're looking at there is live images from gaza port , and that was where an port, and that was where an explosion took place . but explosion took place. but elsewhere in the country, we are heanng elsewhere in the country, we are hearing reports of another incursion into israel by hamas
4:43 pm
terrorists. apparently, they are in the town of sadat . also in the town of sadat. also rockets being fired in that fire being returned, by the way, from lebanon. so a joint pincer style attack at the moment in israel. we will have the latest for you. i'm patrick christys gb news,

4:48 pm
and alex goodman, kc, who's representing ms parks cover , representing ms parks cover, offered a range of grounds and he said she's deeply concerned by the planned accommodation of around 500 asylum seekers on the bibby stockholm barge by the home secretary. and she said especially by the fact that the home secretary proceeded on the basis that she that she did not require planning permission without any adequate consultation with the local community. and on the other side, representing mrs. braverman paul brown , kc said braverman paul brown, kc said this . he said braverman paul brown, kc said this. he said he argued that ms parks claim was out of time without merit and said that the judge should refuse to give permission to the challenge to proceed to trial. now, of course , the hearing finished about an hour ago. the judge has said his decision is likely going to be made tomorrow . so whether or not made tomorrow. so whether or not it is going to be granted to give ms parks the green light, it's unclear in the last couple of weeks, she spent time asking people to donate to award her legal pay outs, of course, and
4:49 pm
raised around £25,000. if this does get the green light, what could happen next is yet to be seen. but of course, ms parks was here today and she said it's yet another wait . yet another wait. >> okay, theo, thank you very much. theo chikomba there reporting outside the royal courts of justice. now, sir keir starmer decade of starmer promised a decade of national his labour national renewal in his labour party conference speech earlier , pledging to get britain building with promises to building again with promises to create and suburbs and create new towns and suburbs and 1.5 million new homes. i've got our economics and business editor liam halligan here, alongside our deputy political editor, . liam, i'll editor, tom hannood. liam, i'll start you. britain start with you. get britain building . building. >> he trying to evoke the >> he was trying to evoke the spirit the spirit of clem attlee after the second war. patrick he second world war. patrick he talked about let's build more post—war labour, new we post—war labour, new towns. we haven't built a new settlement in country in my lifetime in this country in my lifetime and i'm 54 years old and the population since i was born has gone up by about 15 million people. clearly labour's people. so clearly labour's trying to be the party of home ownership up. i have to admit, i'm surprised he didn't talk
4:50 pm
more about social housing council housing, affordable homes. he was just talking about new homes principle. but this new homes in principle. but this will go down well with a lot of developers. very powerful developers. a very powerful lobby it not go down well, lobby. it may not go down well, so with landowners, so well with landowners, by the way. was talking about way. yeah, he was talking about he coded words, development he used coded words, development corporations. they're organisations that can basically take land off landowners using compulsory purchase orders. so that aspect of this might be quite controversial. it may well be. >> now, tom, you scurried off and got into a policy huddle with the labour top team . last with the labour top team. last time you were on the show, you were tearing strips off their building policy. they were saying that it's basically what the do . go on. saying that it's basically what the the do . go on. saying that it's basically what the the latest? do . go on. what's the latest? >> well , i've basically >> well, i've basically had my theory confirmed , affirmed. now, theory confirmed, affirmed. now, this a value judgement. this isn't a value judgement. some people would this is some people would say this is the policy. others would the right policy. others would say wrong policy. what say it's the wrong policy. what it isn't , it is sweeping it isn't, it is sweeping planning . this is working planning reform. this is working within the planning system that we already have . going back to we already have. going back to how we used to build new towns in the 1960s, for example ,
4:51 pm
in the 1960s, for example, that's very, very different from the words in the speech of sir keir starmer. he talked about taking a bulldozer to our system of planning, and yet the policy detail, the policy detail is about working within that system , building new towns here, doing some densification there, but ultimately not wiping away the town and country planning act and not introducing a system of zoning. >> okay . all right. and there >> okay. all right. and there was very little mention of things like immigration in that five words. five words, five words. so five words, one of which was of right. words. so five words, one of which was of right . okay. which was of right. okay. >> the whole thing was very light on detail and very light on spending pledges . the fact on spending pledges. the fact that very light that it was very light on spending, will spending, pledges will have pleased who, pleased financial markets. who, of background to of course, in the background to this conference, bond yields are borrowing costs. government are escalating. so i think there was some relief that he doesn't seem to be wanting to return labour to be wanting to return labour to lots of tax and spend . we're to lots of tax and spend. we're going to we're going to fight the next election on growth, he said. sounds a bit like liz truss is a little bit like liz truss.
4:52 pm

many of the rockets as air raid sirens have been heard elsewhere in israel, it's defence forces claiming more than 4500 rockets have been launched by hamas since saturday. the israeli embassy to the us says more than 1000 of its citizens have been killed in the violence and those attacks come in response to an unprecedented barrage of israeli airstrikes on gaza , forcing airstrikes on gaza, forcing nearly 200,000 people to flee. well israel is continuing to bomb the enclave. these pictures that you can see on your tv screen right now from a port on the gaza coastline, an explosion there causing a large fire. but we also know apartment blocks, schools and a united nations building are among those hit by hundreds of attacks today. the un has warned israel its siege of gaza is illegal under international law, but also said the abduction of hostages by hamas is forbidden . now, israeli hamas is forbidden. now, israeli soldiers have been clearing the

5:05 pm
british power in your home, more opportunity in your community, the nhs off its knees. a britain with its future back in knees away from politics. >> the government says it is now safe for asylum seekers to return to the bibby stockholm barge without though confirming a date as yet , it's been vacant a date as yet, it's been vacant since legionella bacteria were detected on board back in august . but local mayor carolyn parks is set to challenge the home office on behalf of her local residents who've objected to the barge being parked in portland. she said she believes the government needs planning permission to site it. there and lastly , the uk and ireland have lastly, the uk and ireland have been conferred served as hosts for euro 2028 football championship . the joint bid was championship. the joint bid was the only one remaining following turkey's withdrawal , so it could turkey's withdrawal, so it could focus on a joint bid with italy for euro 2032. six of the venues are in england , with one each are in england, with one each from northern ireland, the
5:06 pm
repubuc from northern ireland, the republic of ireland, scotland and wales, and two spots have been reserved . should any of the been reserved. should any of the five hosts not qualify? although england have requested to go through qualifying for the tournament , this is gb news tournament, this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news this is britain's news channel . channel. well i'm here in liverpool for the labour party conference. >> we've heard from keir starmer, haven't we? quite a lot to go into there. yes policy? yes. questions over the money? yes. questions over the money? yes. there was a protest as well , but more developments taking place right now as we speak every actually . hamas every minute actually. hamas have breached the have reportedly breached the gaza border. again, terrorists from group are allegedly from the group are allegedly engaged small arms fire engaged in a small arms fire battle with israeli defence forces israel . these are live forces in israel. these are live pictures of gaza city . this was pictures of gaza city. this was earlier today . it's obviously
5:07 pm
earlier today. it's obviously difficult to tell now because the sun's gone down, but that is gaza city and what you are looking at there is the smouldering wreckage of a boat at gaza there are at least at gaza port. there are at least 830 who died 830 palestinians who have died since saturday. and the death on the israeli side now at at the israeli side now stand at at least 1000 people. it's worth noting that those figures there are a few hours old, so one can only imagine that those numbers have gone up. we can now go to tel to charlie tel aviv and speak to charlie peters . in fact, first before peters. in fact, first before that, going go to that, i'm going to go to ashkelon, which is a town which is yeah. so is there now. it is, yeah. so what is it what we are seeing there is it would appear to me anyway, israel's iron dome in force is i think they're blowing up missiles in the sky. so that's ashkelon in israel. now, hamas is the terrorist organisation told the people of ashkelon to get out and they gave them a deadune get out and they gave them a deadline of 3 pm. our time, which has passed a couple of hours ago , clearly. and then hours ago, clearly. and then they are trying to bombard ashkelon. we're going to go now
5:08 pm
to tel aviv. charlie peters, our reporter, is on the ground there for us. charlie thank you very, very much. some significant developments last 20 developments in the last 20 minutes so. now it looks as minutes or so. now it looks as though hamas have broken through. they are in israel again . that's right. again. that's right. >> this morning, the israeli government were triumphant, reporting that they had re secured the border with the gaza strip. they spoke of combat engineers fixing the fences, laying down mines and special forces and paratroopers, clearing out the remainders of the hamas militants in the gaza enclave. however, it appears now in reports in the last 30 minutes or so that small arms fire has erupted between hamas terrorists and the israeli defence forces in melfa and sderot to towns very close to gaza, maybe just ten kilometres away from the borderline there. now it's not clear at this moment to what extent the violence has erupted. if it is a significant battle, how many militants are involved. i've
5:09 pm
heard from one source close to the israeli government that it is now also involving rocket attacks. but obviously we'll wait for more developments to confirm. other reports suggest that one hamas militant has been killed at stay wrote at least . killed at stay wrote at least. however, we also heard reports last night and going into this morning from idf security sources that they were concerned that some hamas fighters had stayed behind after that devastating and appalling invasion early on saturday morning over 1500 hamas terrorists have been killed by israeli forces inside israel in the last 72 hours. so there's a realistic possibility that some of those fighters have stayed, remained, stayed behind, hidden themselves away in the towns and cities around gaza and could be restarting a small skirmish. attacks in the towns nearby . attacks in the towns nearby. >> charlie, what's it like where you are in tel aviv at the moment? what's the mood like ? moment? what's the mood like? >> well, many of the people who have fled from the kibbutz and
5:10 pm
the small farming community his near to the gaza strip, they've come here. >> this is considered the relative safe part of the country. but when we arrive, barely an hour after arriving, the air raid siren was unleashed in tel aviv as rockets went overhead , loud explosions were overhead, loud explosions were heard . we had to go down to the heard. we had to go down to the bunker in our building and this happened again three more times. again, explosions is getting closer and closer. all knocked down, it appears, by the iron dome defence system that you referred to earlier this is israel's air defence unit. it can shoot down rockets in the air, any missiles that come into its territory . it aims to shoot its territory. it aims to shoot down. we do know, however, that it has not perfectly worked. today, rocket in ashkelon that you refer to earlier. some of them did hit israeli targets. some of them hit indeed, a hotel earlier , someone i spoke to earlier, someone i spoke to there said they'd evacuated because of the hamas warning . because of the hamas warning. now, that is quite unique. usually when rockets are fired in this region, it is the
5:11 pm
israelis warning those in gaza, they often knock the roof of a building with a dud weapon before five minutes later, dropping a live weapon. now it's hamas warning the israelis , hamas warning the israelis, indeed, charlie , thank you very much. >> charlie peters there in tel aviv for us will go back to charlie for any more developments closer to home here in liverpool and the labour party conference, sir keir starmer promised to build owes his through restrictions his way through restrictions to build britain new build a new britain with new homes and businesses and the nhs back on its feet. the labour leader , who was confronted by leader, who was confronted by a glitter throwing protester before he could deliver his speech at conference, praised the spirit of the british people , despite what he called the tory project , a , despite what he called the tory project, a kick the hope out of this country . tory project, a kick the hope out of this country. i'm joined now gb news political editor now by gb news political editor christopher hope. christopher, thank you very much . that was thank you very much. that was a speech that could have been delivered by a tory prime minister. >> that's i think definitely >> that's why i think definitely apart from around edges. apart from around the edges. how are how going to are you? how are you going to pay answered .
5:12 pm
pay for it wasn't answered. adding private adding vat to private school bills, status being bills, non—dom tax status being removed for very rich people who are here who pay tax elsewhere. but basically a but othennise it was basically a speech which was not a fight. don't scare the horses he gave. he gave an appeal to tory voters, us if you want to voters, join us if you want to do this, this and this and rebuild country. even the rebuild the country. even the idea there on big garden idea is there on big garden cities and this kind of thing. this is exactly what the tories were trying to do. build on a scrubby areas of the green belt. this what the tories to scrubby areas of the green belt. thisso what the tories to scrubby areas of the green belt. thisso they're1e tories to scrubby areas of the green belt. thisso they're tryinges to scrubby areas of the green belt. thisso they're trying to to scrubby areas of the green belt. thisso they're trying to say, to do. so they're trying to say, they're trying to set this kind of there's risk by of idea of there's no risk by voting. is you're voting. labour is what you're saying tory tory saying to the tory party, tory voters, and that's the appeal he's red wall. and he's giving to the red wall. and he's giving to the red wall. and he even even said if you want a strong and or worse that strong and stable or worse that affect government, now we know what that what strong and stable that was theresa remarks are theresa may's remarks are her slogan in 2017 didn't tend to offer her so there could be a bit hubris this. be bit of hubris around this. be careful may not turn careful here. it may not turn out way you want, but right out the way you want, but right now it's basically a naked appeal naked appeal to tory voters, a naked appeal to tory voters, a naked appeal tory voters is your appeal to tory voters is your big takeaway there. >> i mean, tom hannood is already gone through the
5:13 pm
planning and the building side of things with a fine tooth comb and revealed that essentially they planning they just want to tweak planning legislation. the legislation. it is not the bulldozing of planning laws or whatever was, was they want whatever that was, was they want to what i call local plans. >> patrick local plans define where building can happen in your area within six months. where building can happen in youi area within six months. where building can happen in youi tell within six months. where building can happen in youi tell you1in six months. where building can happen in youi tell you what, months. where building can happen in youi tell you what, it'snths. where building can happen in youi tell you what, it's enough >> i tell you what, it's enough to an insomniac drop off, to make an insomniac drop off, see eyes glazed over, see your eyes glazed over, glazed over and start dribbling all own chin . all over my own chin. >> you're saying, as you described, dribbling on described, to go dribbling on your point is your chin, but your point is correct. the big idea? correct. where is the big idea? the the the big vision? where is the pledge card? where is the education and education? education? what blair education? where is what blair said it doesn't said in 97, 96? it doesn't have that here. that feeling here. >> okay. all right . just to cut >> okay. all right. just to cut across to you, christopher, i'm afraid i've got some breaking news. holly willoughby has told itv that she will not return to this morning. i think it has been an honour to just be part of its story, she says . i now of its story, she says. i now feel i have to make this decision for me and my family, she posted that on social media. so holly willoughby has quit.

5:15 pm
northern ireland. i'm not going to do the whole list . i haven't to do the whole list. i haven't got time . but isn't the contrast got time. but isn't the contrast stark ? 13 years of things can stark? 13 years of things can only get better versus 13 years of things have only got worse . of things have only got worse. this conference, this is what we have to fight. the tory project to kick the hope out of this country during the rest of jars of our belief. that's country during the rest of jars of our belief . that's why of our belief. that's why i started with our achievements. i wanted to remind everyone that there was a time and it wasn't that long ago when questions such as is britain destined for decline ? when would have felt decline? when would have felt ridiculous even to ask? and i have to warn you, our way back from this will be hard . but know from this will be hard. but know this what is broken can be repaired and what is ruined can
5:16 pm
be rebuilt. wounds do heal and ultimately that project there project will crash against the spirit of working people in this country and they are the source of my hope. >> well, that was keir starmer. yes, i can now speak which of all mcdonough, the labour mp for mitcham and morden and the mp as well for birmingham selly oak, steve you , thank steve mckay. both of you, thank you much. great you very, very much. great to have the show. first have you on the show. first things first, then. what you things first, then. what do you make speech? make of the speech? >> policy, heavy people >> great policy, heavy people want know labour want to know what a labour government think government would do and i think keir great job today on keir did a great job today on saying exactly what we'd be doing. >> it's quite similar to tories, isn't it? >> well, no. one exciting policy that i'm personally very thrilled with because i've been campaigning on it for years and that's building on the green green belt . we think there's green belt. we think there's approximately enough space next to london train stations to build a million of homes, and that would it would transform our city. >> okay. what do you make of
5:17 pm
that? do you think that he's presented a bright vision for britain that people can go and get ? get behind? >> absolutely. get behind? >> awould ely. get behind? >> awould say was the speech >> i would say it was the speech of the next prime minister that he to the country he was speaking to the country and as well as being very good in policy , it was full of hope in policy, it was full of hope and aspiration and the very thing that's lacking . thing that's lacking. >> and he said he said that a big one is that he's going to transform and reform the nhs. he said, look, i know a lot of people don't necessarily like the word reform, but there you go. how you think he's really go. how do you think he's really actually going to do that? well i think main thing is going i think the main thing is going to the faster to be about the faster application of technology in the nhs. >> he did say that we would be working seven days a week. we'd be rewarding people properly , be rewarding people properly, but it's about using ai , new but it's about using ai, new treatments, new technologies and bringing them to patients. much faster. >> okay. and one of the key points that he's going to fund a lot with is non—doms. okay i'm just wondering if he's not necessarily telling the full truth about non—doms. so £3.5
5:18 pm
billion roughly, is what the labour party is saying they think they can raise. that does come from a study from the university of wannick and no, no casting, no aspersions on the university of wannick. i'm just saying university and saying as a university study and if leave so if non—doms leave so specifically 500 of them who are right at the core of this, you're shaking your head, why wouldn't they leave? >> well, i don't think that's going to make them leave. isn't it? benefit that £6.5 it? this is a benefit that £6.5 million extra tax. million a year extra in tax. this a group of people who this is a group of people who don't normally get benefit don't normally get this benefit in countries , as is the in other countries, as is the prime wife . prime minister's wife. >> they get a very similar >> they can get a very similar benefit in spain, portugal benefit in spain, in portugal really going to leave. >> and that brings us to >> and then that brings us to the issue, patrick, the other issue, patrick, doesn't it, if labour , if keir doesn't it, if labour, if keir starmer got up there and said he was going to do all these things and you where the and didn't tell you where the money was coming from, you would rightly say, look , labour is rightly say, oh, look, labour is promising all these things and does not telling you where the money is. >> do appreciate that. i think >> i do appreciate that. i think that's the point though, that's kind of the point though, which is that i'm wondering
5:19 pm
whether to whether or not there is going to be there whether or not there is going to be whether there whether or not there is going to be whether or there whether or not there is going to be whether or labourre whether or not there is going to be whether or labour are and whether or not labour are going to be left with, let's be honest, of money in in honest, not a lot of money in in the kitty, are they really? could a problem for could that be a problem for laboun could that be a problem for labwell, i think he said >> well, i think what he said was we're going grow the was we're going to grow the economy this is one area where we're going to tax to prime some of our activities. the other half of it is making the economy function properly. >> it didn't mention that was wrong, he said five words on immigration, one of which was of apparently . is that a problem apparently. is that a problem for him, do you think? >> no, because i think the problem with immigration is with the tories. they spend so much time talking about it and fantasising about schemes that won't work , that they're won't work, that they're creating a problem for themselves. the issue about immigration, ian, is separating genuine asylum from non genuine and that means faster processing probably outside the country and tackling the gangs if they did that, we wouldn't have an issue. okay >> do you think that was a misstep? i know a lot of people
5:20 pm
would have concerns about what labour might mean for immigration, both legal and illegal. he didn't address that today, but really important issue. >> but he has addressed it in the past. he's made it clear that he is not in favour of the fantasy of rwanda and that he would ensure that our immigration system works. i know steve knows because of our our casework. mailbag is that there aren't the applications aren't getting processed . the getting processed. the government can't remove anybody dodi who's had a failed claim. the whole infrastructure in the home office is completely collapsed. and what we see is people is their government desperate for headlines. but not actually doing the pitch to get us out of the echr isn't it this? no, it's about doing the job properly of actually processing those claims and actually remove people who fail just as we did last time. steve and i were in a labour government. okay >> there is a sense clearly that this is the speech of a future prime minister rather
5:21 pm
unfortunately for him , it will unfortunately for him, it will go down in history as him being covered in glitter for a bit of it, out of it, which will look weird out of context in about ten years time. a security a shocking security breach there. i just wonder there. i thought i just wonder what's going to be done with this because i fear that it's a matter before someone matter of time before someone gets really badly hurt. oh, yeah? >> well, i don't want spend >> well, i don't want to spend any time on this exhibitionist clown. and, know, not clown. and, you know, let's not give any attention. but give him any attention. but there should be some concerns about the security and about the speed with which it was handled . yes. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and didn't he handle it well? i mean, it must have been terrifying , mustn't it. he you terrifying, mustn't it. he you know, second don't know, the first second you don't know, the first second you don't know is coming from. know, the first second you don't knovl'd is coming from. know, the first second you don't knovl'd also is coming from. know, the first second you don't knovl'd also like is coming from. know, the first second you don't knovl'd also like to coming from. know, the first second you don't knovl'd also like to give1g from. know, the first second you don't knovl'd also like to give a from. and i'd also like to give a really big shout out to one of our heroes in the labour party who's worked for labour for 30 years. it was carol linforth who got that stage and got his got up on that stage and got his jacket right. >> , one more question for >> okay, one more question for you before we to go net you before we have to go net zero. you i believe, quite opposed to ulez . zero. you i believe, quite opposed to ulez. is that right? is that not at odds with keir starmer and sadiq khan, for
5:22 pm
example? so how do you square that? well i don't think so, because labour wants to achieve net zero in the quickest possible time, as keir said, but also as a party, we're not generally in favour of regressive taxes, which hits the poorest most . poorest most. >> and that's for me, the issue . you know, i see people who work as carers, i see people who have their own business who can't afford to use their cars and do the jobs that we really need them to do . so i'm really need them to do. so i'm really concerned for the livelihoods of quite a number of my constituents. >> okay, both of you , thank you >> okay, both of you, thank you very much. really enjoyed this. great to you the show. great to have you on the show. hope you again very, very hope to see you again very, very soon. that course, soon. that is, of course, siobhan is siobhan mcdonagh there, who is the mitcham and the labour mp for mitcham and morden and the mp for birmingham selly oak as well. steve mccabe. now plenty more to come on the show. going to, of course, show. we're going to, of course, giving updates giving you the latest updates from incredibly from gaza. incredibly distressing scene. this taking place at the moment. place over there at the moment. so that's gaza port. there's been an explosion there which has been raging now the fire raging absolutely ages. but

5:28 pm
developing story . developing story. >> patrick, i'll come to that aspect that you just mentioned in just a second. as you were saying, hundreds people here saying, hundreds of people here were hating a were demonstrate hating a pro—palestine demonstration last night . the israeli embassy is night. the israeli embassy is just down there. the is down there as well. the ambassador's residence as well is just down this private road behind these gates , which you'll see there's gates, which you'll see there's this huge now barricades to prevent cars coming into this space and getting to that area when they're not supposed to . when they're not supposed to. now, these demonstrators, they were spraying graffiti over the walls of the buildings here onto the roads itself, lighting flares, setting off fireworks. and obviously chanting as well. free palestine. now, obviously, that's prompted a very large police presence. and today the home secretary is contacted police chiefs across the country. and she said that flying the palestinian flag on british streets may not be legitimate. now, there's a key
5:29 pm
element to this. she says if it's deemed to show to be a show of support for acts of terrorism . now she's urging officers to use the full force of the law if they see people doing the following, targeting jewish neighbourhoods , waving neighbourhoods, waving pro—palestinian or pro—hamas symbols . that, of course, is the symbols. that, of course, is the proscribed terrorist organisation hamas, or chanting slogans that could be interpreted as anti—israeli. well i've been here with our cameraman since midday this afternoon. there's been a couple of what i would describe as as minor incidents. perhaps there was a car that came along with a very large palestinian flag sticking out of the roof came down the road and then it did a presumably an illegal u—turn . presumably an illegal u—turn. perhaps not, i'm not sure, but it did a u—turn and then it went back the other way , seemingly back the other way, seemingly for reason. a couple of for no reason. a couple of seconds later , the police car seconds later, the police car actually came along in the same
5:30 pm
direction of its blues and twos going. so that was the first incident. secondly , about incident. then secondly, about an hour and a half ago, we had a man who was stopped from walking down this private road past the embassy, and he was wearing a palestinian scarf, scarf as a mask around his face. now, he was stopped and nine officers approached him. there was a quite a long conversation about 5 or 6 minutes. and then he was escorted covid past the barricade here and onto the pubuc barricade here and onto the public area outside the road . i public area outside the road. i grabbed him and i asked him what he was trying to achieve , going he was trying to achieve, going to pick up my car and they stopped me because i'm wearing flag. >> why are you wearing the flag? >> why are you wearing the flag? >> well, why the government are putting israeli everywhere. >> i'm using as a mask. it's >> i'm using it as a mask. it's covid. you're aware of it. >> last year, this time it was obugafion. >> last year, this time it was obligation . this year it was obligation. this year it was like i'm using it as a mask. they should deal with it equally now. shouldn't israeli

5:45 pm
atkinson, the conservativehome, joins me now. i atkinson, the conservativehome, joins me now . i also have a joins me now. i also have a broadcaster and journalist michael crick on set with me. so good stuff. and i'll start with you, michael . so what do you you, michael. so what do you make of this then? do you think that a good, suitable make of this then? do you think that for a good, suitable make of this then? do you think that for britainwd, suitable make of this then? do you think that for britain that|itable make of this then? do you think that for britain that the le vision for britain that the pubuc vision for britain that the public like? i think he public will like? i think he failed really in terms of things that would convince swing voters, right? >> people he's got to persuade . >> people he's got to persuade. i think labour's done lots to do that around the conference and over the over the months. >> but i think in this one speech it was it was it was significantly inferior to the speech he gave last year , which speech he gave last year, which i thought was tremendous today. i thought was tremendous today. i thought was tremendous today. i thought it was flat, i thought it was a bit flat, a bit a lot of cliches lacking in substance, lacking in in new stuff. you know, something to excite the people when they go home. but in particular, you know, if you're sitting at home thinking, well, i voted conservative last time. >> well, i don't you know, i'm worried about that. should i vote labour? >> there nothing really there. >> so you found it a bit of a

damp squib. mean, the initial damp squib. i mean, the initial noise oh, noise aftennards was like, oh, didn't well with the didn't he do well with the protester? speech . protester? oh, what a speech. but settles a bit, but then the dust settles a bit, doesn't well, doesn't it? and you think, well, actually, what's he actually everybody here says everybody around here says they're and there's they're excited and there's no point pops point in doing vox pops with delegates point in doing vox pops with del i gates point in doing vox pops with deli always whenever i used to >> i always whenever i used to do to say, okay, do that, i used to say, okay, well was the memorable phrase? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and it's difficult. i mean, full speed ahead was one memorable phrase i had , but it memorable phrase i had, but it wasn't quite clear what. >> full speed ahead with with what? >> yeah, it's true. yeah. we went. we were going full speed for a few different things, but i'm entirely where we i'm not entirely sure where we were i'm going bring were going. i'm going to bring in william atkinson from in now william atkinson from conservative home. william, thank you very, very much . so thank you very, very much. so what you make of keir starmer what do you make of keir starmer speech? is he is he a prime minister waiting? do you minister in waiting? do you think? regrettably at think? regrettably for you at conservative home? >> i'd say if i hadn't >> well, i'd say if i hadn't been mad enough , aged 15, to been mad enough, aged 15, to join the conservative party . join the conservative party. >> after watching keir starmers speech today, i probably to speech today, i probably want to vote next general vote labour at the next general election. i must disagree completely michael . i completely with michael. i thought only did keir
5:47 pm
thought not only did keir starmer look relatively prime minister , or at least more so minister, or at least more so than he has in previous party conference , but i also conference speeches, but i also think he actually laid out relatively coherent vision for government . yes, questions are government. yes, questions are obviously overhanging how he would actually pay for all these grand of reform in the grand pledges of reform in the nhs the education service nhs and the education service and but issues such and the like. but on issues such as your average as security for your average family or indeed on the international level and making our streets safer, and most importantly for somebody like me, ever getting me, despairing at ever getting on housing ladder, his on the housing ladder, his pledge to new set of new pledge to build a new set of new towns finally build the towns and finally build on the god greenbelt , then yes, god awful greenbelt, then yes, i thought starmer thought actually keir starmer was perhaps on the side of the british and i thought british people and i thought actually it was a very difficult pitch the conservatives to pitch for the conservatives to come because quite come back on because quite frankly , he was good at frankly, he was very good at pointing we've wasted frankly, he was very good at pointing13 we've wasted frankly, he was very good at pointing13 years we've wasted frankly, he was very good at pointing13 years of we've wasted frankly, he was very good at pointing13 years of governmenti the last 13 years of government and that i that is a and that i mean, that is a remarkable summary. >> the most depressing >> and it's the most depressing elements of it all. >> yeah, a remarkable >> yeah, it's a remarkable summary from from your conservative home. michael can't hear you. so fill fill hear you. so i'll fill i'll fill him in. basically. completely disagree with he said that
5:48 pm
disagree with you. he said that he if he hadn't disagree with you. he said that he been if he hadn't disagree with you. he said that he been stupid: he hadn't disagree with you. he said that he been stupid enoughn't disagree with you. he said that he been stupid enough to have been stupid enough to join the would the tories at age 15, he would probably vote for labour. now and individual and that as a young individual who's on the who's looking to get on the property provided property ladder, it provided hope for him. that's interesting. he might have swung a tory voter there. well i'm surprised, but you know , that surprised, but you know, that takes all sorts and not for you, though. >> well, i'm. i'm. i'm you know, iwon't >> well, i'm. i'm. i'm you know, i won't vote labour at the next election but but for very peculiar reason. i've just seen how all the candidates have been selected. so i'm and i think there's danger of a labour government becoming a very authoritarian and expand on that authoritarian and expand on that a bit. >> well i mean they basically annihilated the left now you would probably argue jolly good idea too, but i think that the labour party has always thrived. >> good parties , good >> good parties, good self—confident parties thrive , self—confident parties thrive, live on alternative voices. and you've seen in past labour governments, people like barbara castle , john prescott, nye bevan castle, john prescott, nye bevan , michael foot, tony benn,
5:49 pm
around the cabinet table, you know, okay, the arguments ding dong arguments from time to time, but you do need some challenge within government . challenge within government. >> and the trouble is with starmer and his henchmen is that they've eliminated almost anybody who's from the left . anybody who's from the left. quite a few people are not going to be coming back like jeremy corbyn diane abbott . corbyn and diane abbott. >> and amongst the new candidates, hardly any. >> i we're going to be as >> i say we're going to be as left who's left wing charlie peters, who's live tel far to live in tel aviv, far to authority . authority. >> and i think chris johnson made the same mistake when he was in power. >> okay. all right, william, i'll throw it back over to you. some concerns there from michael that, you know, the labour election victory could end up leading to quite an authoritarian government . leading to quite an authoritarian government. my leading to quite an authoritarian government . my big authoritarian government. my big concern it is i'm not sure concern with it is i'm not sure the sums add up in terms of non—dom status, raking in £3.5 billion. i mean, even if it does, the jury's out on that. i would imagine would be a one off payment. so what do we do after that? that would be big that? that would be my big concern. said i >> well, like michael , i spend
5:50 pm
>> well, like michael, i spend my time also reporting on specifically tory selections, and can say from the and i can say that from the trend of selections that we've seen party looks to seen the tory party looks to become increasingly ungovernable seen the tory party looks to benweie increasingly ungovernable seen the tory party looks to benweie increas be ly ungovernable seen the tory party looks to benweie increas be pickingvernable seen the tory party looks to benweie increasbe picking up1able as we seem to be picking up candidates primarily want to candidates who primarily want to be backbenchers than be backbenchers rather than future there go. be backbenchers rather than future there go . i'd say that >> but there we go. i'd say that on the question of whether sums it up, this is the eternal question that people like me will for. labour government. >> said about rachel >> and as i said about rachel reeves speech yesterday, pledges >> and as i said about rachel reevnas speech yesterday, pledges >> and as i said about rachel reevnas abolishing:erday, pledges >> and as i said about rachel reevnas abolishing:erdenon—dom; such as abolishing the non—dom status vat on status for example, or vat on private predict by some private school predict by some calculations actually cost calculations to actually cost more money than they raise. >> but nevertheless, i think if one is talking about the sort of broader agenda that a labour government unjustly building this we'll move this now and then, we'll move keir wants to make to this now and then, we'll move keircountry wants to make to this now and then, we'll move keircountry , wants to make to this now and then, we'll move keircountry , i'd1ts to make to this now and then, we'll move keircountry , i'd say.o make to this now and then, we'll move keircountry , i'd say.o m average the country, i'd say the average voter particularly voter isn't particularly bothered he's going to bothered about how he's going to pay bothered about how he's going to pay they're pay for it because they're so sick tories. they just sick of the tories. they just want us out. so whilst want to chuck us out. so whilst you are you know, the finances are obviously something that we're going be over years going to be poring over in years to do indeed end up to come, if we do indeed end up with government, with a labour government, i think for moment, the think for the moment, for the average we'll have seen average voter, we'll have seen that have seen a that and they would have seen a man on his man who was very clearly on his way downing street, which is
5:51 pm
way to downing street, which is unfortunate my party. unfortunate for my party. >> it's >> well, i mean, gosh, it's strong what's your strong stuff. yeah. what's your take spending side of take on the spending side of things, ? things, michael? >> well, i agree with you, actually. that this actually. i think that this whole about about ending whole thing about about ending non—dom is actually non—dom status is actually a hell of a lot of reliance on that. hell of a lot of reliance on that . and i hell of a lot of reliance on that. and i think they're being too optimistic like people are always to optimistic about what they can make from tax changes or closing loopholes . they're or closing loopholes. they're going to have to come up with some new what gordon brown called stealth taxes . he was called stealth taxes. he was very good at always finding little extra things. he could tax that didn't appear to cause much distress and yet raised a significant amount of money and rachel reeves if she's clever, we'll have some of those in reserve that she probably won't want to announce before the election , or she may announce election, or she may announce 1 or 2 just to persuade the sceptics like you and me. but that labour is going to need some new sources of money. >> i mean, my own personal view is in the long they is that in the long term they need a need to start thinking about a wealth need to start thinking about a weibut
5:52 pm
need to start thinking about a we; but they've need to start thinking about a weibut they've already ruled >> but they've already ruled that out. gosh >> well, there we go. look, both of thank you very much. of you. thank you very much. great way to round the show. great way to round off the show. that's michael crick there. broadcast journalist as broadcast and journalist and as well from well as william atkinson from conservative home. well, i mean, i tell you what, i was not expecting the chat from conservative home to come out and wished keir starmer conservative home to come out and leadingnished keir starmer conservative home to come out and leadingnisthoryzir starmer conservative home to come out and leadingnisthory party rmer conservative home to come out and leadingnisthory party and' was leading the tory party and that thought it would be that he thought that it would be a he's way downing a he's on his way into downing street, agreed with the street, that he agreed with the vast majority of what he had to say. et cetera. et cetera. et cetera. potentially cetera. so it is potentially a seismic british seismic moment in british politics starmer is politics that keir starmer is actually tories and actually courting the tories and doing of it. i doing quite well out of it. i will that i think one of the will say that i think one of the remarkable anyway from remarkable takeaways anyway from this we this conference is that we do currently israel. currently have a war in israel. i'll some pictures live i'll show you some pictures live at moment. i mean, the at the moment. i mean, the timing certainly timing of this, certainly in terms the labour party terms of the labour party conference couldn't been conference couldn't have been more for them. the more difficult for them. the labour party historically very squiffy when it comes to palestine and have made serious mistakes there. these are live images that we can bring you from gaza , by the way. but the from gaza, by the way. but the fact is that they've said all the right things on israel apart with the with with the exception
5:53 pm
of 1 or 2 froot loops who attend the odd fringe event, it's basically been we stand falls quiet behind israel and there you go. so none of the kind of hysteria and controversy that frankly would have obviously mired entire conference if mired this entire conference if jeremy corbyn had still been in power. so they managed to avoid that. that is live footage from gaza. we'll have more on this on gb course of gb news throughout the course of the far, the latest the evening. so far, the latest death tolls are in excess of 1000 israelis and around 830 palestinians. but the bombardment of gaza does continue, although not in that particular bit. a little bit of it right now. and also , we it right now. and also, we understand that hamas terror lists have also stormed back into israel. reports of some very, very, very distressing scenes taking place there. a massive reportedly breached the gaza border. again terrorists from that group are allegedly running through local towns and potentially taking more hostages with them as well. look thank you very much, everybody. i've been patrick christys here at you very much, everybody. i've bee labour:k christys here at you very much, everybody. i've bee labour party stys here at you very much, everybody. i've bee labour party conferencet you very much, everybody. i've bee labour party conference in
