coming up in the next hour. as even coming up in the next hour. as ever, you think on ever, tell me what you think on everything we're discussing. email gbviews@gbnews.com everything we're discussing. email me'iews@gbnews.com everything we're discussing. email me atvs@gbnews.com everything we're discussing. email me at .;@gbnews.com everything we're discussing. email me at. gb bnews.com everything we're discussing. email me at. gb news. com everything we're discussing. email me at. gb news. son everything we're discussing. email me at. gb news. so world tweet me at. gb news. so world leaders are meeting in cairo in a desperate plea for peace as expectation grows of an imminent invasion of the gaza strip by israeli forces . now, this comes israeli forces. now, this comes as the idf are now reporting that over 210 hostages are now being held by hamas in gaza as the rafah crossing border crossing to egypt opens for much needed humanitarian aid. let's cross live now to gb news reporter charlie peters , who's reporter charlie peters, who's there in tel aviv. charlie talk to me about what the mood has been like there . been like there. >> well, as people in cairo gather to demand peace and the arab leaders there call for an immediate ceasefire, people in israel are saying , how can we israel are saying, how can we have peace if we allow hamas, the terrorists who invaded on october the 7th, and committed such appalling atrocities in the south, to continue to exist and

flourish in the gaza strip. but last night there were reports of hostages being released. two americans released. and now on their way back to rejoin their families . and this morning, families. and this morning, further good news when finally, after days and days of urgent diplomacy, some humanitarian aid has been allowed to cross from egypt into gaza via the rafah border crossing. some 20 trucks loaded with medical supplies, equipment and food aid did cross into the gaza strip, where an urgent and unten able humanitarian situation has been occurring. according to the un. but that border crossing has now closed. and as we understand , no closed. and as we understand, no foreign nationals were allowed to leave in a situation that the us embassy described as chaotic . us embassy described as chaotic. if that was true as a grave understatement , people have been understatement, people have been rushing towards that border crossing ever since the launched their bombardments in the north of the gaza strip . but there is of the gaza strip. but there is concern beyond this area as that convoy gathers on the border

with armour and tanks of that likely imminent invasion tensions are still rising, rising throughout the region in southern lebanon , the lebanese southern lebanon, the lebanese hezbollah have continued their missile and drone attacks on idf troops, killing one. last night, the idf confirmed the death of a 22 year old staff sergeant and recently released footage of them striking what they said were lebanese hezbollah terrorists on the south with their own drone strikes. protests have occurred in ramallah, in the west bank, in beirut, in baghdad, in cairo, and in amman, in jordan. as continued anger on the streets of the arab world flares up after that explosion in a hospital in north gaza on tuesday. both the idf and indeed the us claiming that this was by the us claiming that this was by the palestinian islamic jihad. last night we had news that the european intelligence agencies also share that assessment. and they also say that hundreds didn't pass more like in dozens of deaths. there instead of the original figure quoted by the

hamas run health ministry. this is a region on an extremely tense precipice. they know that there will be an invasion of idf forces into the gaza strip, but they don't know what will follow. will lebanese hezbollah and other iranian proxies launch further attacks on hamas , or further attacks on hamas, or will the israelis be able to enter the gaza strip with out much response from the arab world? well, we do know they are going to invade and we wait for that likely imminent invasion in the coming days. >> now, charlie, i want to ask you about the rafah crossing, because it's opened and people are cross. they are able to cross. are they allowing all citizens who want to over through it or is to cross over through it or is it just foreign nationals , as itjust foreign nationals, as was initially mentioned , i think was initially mentioned, i think nobody's crossed. >> i think it's just been aid going in. there's the agreement to allow people to go out. we haven't had confirmed reports of that yet, but we do know that the embassies of the us in jerusalem and egypt have called

on their nationals to head there in hopes that they may be allowed to leave. but for the governments of jordan and egypt andindeed governments of jordan and egypt and indeed most other arab powers speaking on this issue, for them it is red line for for them it is a red line for any palestinians to leave the gaza strip because for them the idea arab solidarity is such idea of arab solidarity is such that believe any that they believe any palestinians who leave strip palestinians who leave the strip won't allowed to re—enter. won't be allowed to re—enter. so it's unlikely that we'll it's highly unlikely that we'll see any refugees leaving the gaza strip, even if the situation there descends into even greater turmoil after that likely idf invasion and greater use of munitions from the air as they seek to destroy the hamas military capabilities. is the is the message not getting through ? the message not getting through? >> because obviously we've now learned that most of the people think that that bomb that didn't actually hit the hospital, apparently it was a parking lot near from a hamas near it was from a hamas missile. that kind of went wrong. is that not getting through to the arab world that that could potentially be the situation ? because as you said situation? because as you said earlier in your report, there's a lot of anger about that. and

also we've that the also we've learned that the numbers appear to be in numbers don't appear to be in the hundreds, but more like maybe tens . maybe the tens. >> yes. well, when that news was first reported, hamas put out a claim almost immediately after the explosion saying that the israelis were to blame. and that claim caught on like wildfire throughout the arab region. and it seems that what arab leaders think in public and in private is probably very different, but they very little room to they have very little room to manoeuvre the sense manoeuvre because of the sense of anger on the streets. people in arab world, regardless of in the arab world, regardless of the information being released and lack compelling and the lack of compelling evidence or indeed any evidence being produced by hamas or palestinian islamic jihad, they are believe that are choosing to believe that israel responsible for that israel is responsible for that strike. and people have to just be realistic about that situation in the region, no matter how much compelling but not conclusive evidence is produced by the us. it's allies and israel. it seems as though the arab world is continuing to believe that israel is responsible that strike and responsible for that strike and indeed many other devastating situations in the gaza strip .

situations in the gaza strip. since then, the arab leaders who are reacting to this crisis, they want the siege to end. they want the israeli invasion to not occur. want the israeli invasion to not occur . and with the rage on occur. and with the rage on their streets and the hundreds of thousands in gathering to protest and indeed set fire to some of the areas around israeli and american embassies throughout the region , they have throughout the region, they have very little room to concur with assessments made by western intelligence agencies . that is a intelligence agencies. that is a crisis in the diplomatic efforts being made . and on top of those being made. and on top of those situations , we also are relying situations, we also are relying between the western powers and the arab powers interactions with qatar to secure the release of more hostages. the idf this afternoon revised the number up to 210 hostages now believed to be held in the gaza strip. it's been described as a humanitarian reason. the release of the two americans last night. but the sense in israel is that if you want to be humanitarian release, the 210. well well, i suppose if they think that there's going to

be a ground invasion, they probably won't. >> and it's interesting that you talk arab community talk about the arab community has that. i mean, it has not seen that. i mean, it was actually i was watching al jazeera and actually al jazeera and actually watching al jazeera. they actually had a shot rockets being shot of the rockets being launched then it looked like launched and then it looked like something mean, something fell back. so, i mean, even on on the tv to sort of aim towards the arab population, that did appear to show that it wasn't was fact, from hamas wasn't was in fact, from hamas missile. of course, they missile. but of course, they will to about will continue to talk about that. charlie, mentioned the that. charlie, you mentioned the hostages what are the hostages as well. what are the does sound like they're going does it sound like they're going to be any more of the to be letting any more of the hostages go? are they talking about at all? about that at all? >> there's a split in >> well, there's a split in understanding on that situation in the region and in israel in particular. at the moment, some people seeing the release of those two american hostages last night as a possibility for further diplomatic relations, for further for establishing further releases. qatar is a long standing mediator in these issues between arab powers and western powers. more recently, it facilitated the release of some children in the ukraine. russia war and doha acted again

to release americans held in captivity in west africa . but at captivity in west africa. but at the same time, others in israel believing that the release of those two hostages was a proper gander ploy by hamas to try and delay that ground invasion . the delay that ground invasion. the sense here is that the invasion would actually be the humanitarian option because it would reduce the need for airstrikes and allow for a more precise and targeted engagement with hamas forces on the ground by the idf, rather than the severe munitions that we're seeing being dropped on residential areas where the hamas operatives engage and use civilians as human shields. so a split of opinion here. but either way , the conversation either way, the conversation will continue about those hostages and the idf continues to stress that their release is an absolute priority as it seeks to defeat the hamas military capability and rescue the innocents being held in the gaza strip. charlie peters, thank you very much. >> thank you so much for all those brilliant reports that you've brought us live. thank you. that is charlie peters live in tel aviv. interesting that

there hamas are talking about releasing hostages on humanitarian because of humanitarian because of humanitarian after humanitarian means when after what what's actually what they've what's actually gone you just joined us gone on if you just joined us welcome board just welcome on board it's just coming up to 16 minutes after 3:00. i'm nana akua. this is gb news. the people's news. we are the people's channel. we're live on tv, onune channel. we're live on tv, online radio. online and on digital radio. still climate control. still to come, climate control. as is hit by heavy as the uk is hit by heavy flooding caused by storm babet will debate whether climate change blame these change is to blame for these extreme conditions. is it extreme conditions. or is it just simply weather? this is

barely picking up the kind of views and perspectives that i and people that i knew had dewbs

& co weeknights from . & co weeknights from. >> well, it's just coming up to 20 minutes after 3:00. if you've just tuned in. welcome on board. i'm nana akua. this is gb news. we are the people's channel. now it's time, though, for climate control, where i unpick some of the stories to the latest stories relating to the latest stories relating to the around climate the debate around climate change. farage storm babet continues to batter the uk with downpours having catastrophic effects in certain regions. three people have died and over 40 households adds 40,000 homes have been left without power, as the met office warns of danger to life. in some parts of the country. but is storm babet a symptom of climate change, or is it just simply weather for. well, i'm joined now by senior meteorologist at the british weather services, jim dale, also political political commentator for lois perry. right so i'm going to start with youtube. i don't know why you're not. you're next. you should be either side of me because you don't where i am, where i am. but i'm back again.

>> i'm back again. so that's fine. >> then what? talk to me about storm babet then what is it? a he or she? and why is it here? >> it's a she named after named by the dutch. but it's here because travelled from the because it travelled from the canaries. couple weeks ago canaries. a couple of weeks ago where having intense where they were having intense heat temperatures both on heat record temperatures both on land and around in the sea. and it gathered all that massive energy and that energy started to move to the west of spain. then the west of france, and it arrived here. it hit the or was blocked by the high pressure over scandinavia. this is the technical bit, if you like, and it's dumb, nominal amounts of rain across many parts of the uk. you're seeing the pictures now. you use the word catastrophic. i'm going to say there is a climate change element to storm babet . element to storm babet. >> so you think there's a climate change element to it? lois, what is your view on that? >> well , it's nice that lois, what is your view on that? >> well, it's nice that jim is saying element and it's not all caused by us because in the past when you've come on the show,

jim, you said that it's all human made no change. i never say that. i just want what you have or you have. i'm sorry i haven't. yeah, okay. i know what i know. >> i know what you say. well, hold on. you have said it. you've blamed climate change. okay, well, i'll give you a chance to that. chance to defend that. >> go on. go on, lois. say what she's. >> lois, finish off what you're saying, and then we'll come back to okay? to you. okay? >> i just want to make the >> so i just want to make the point that, know, jim talks point that, you know, jim talks a about the ipcc reports and a lot about the ipcc reports and documents. actual documents. yeah the actual documents, the actual report, not or the press not the summary or the press release, which is done not by scientists, but by politicians and people an agenda, and pr people with an agenda, has definitively has said definitively until until recently. until extremely recently. i think report, the ones think the last report, the ones before there was before that said there was no evidence whatsoever of an increase in extreme weather events. recent one events. and the most recent one said be a slight said there may be a slight increase , but was based on increase, but it was based on modelling , not actually looking modelling, not actually looking at evidence because of course, jim, know, because you're a jim, you know, because you're a very technical guy that things are done over a 30 year average, not because there's a storm or a bit hot somewhere else in the

world. you have to it has to be worked and done over 30 worked out and done over 30 years. and there is no increase in extreme weather events. and that's ipcc. that's according to the ipcc. and nasa their data . and nasa supplies their data. >> yeah. so, jim, what do you say to that? yeah i just say, how bad does it have to get before and maybe yourself before lois and maybe yourself actually say it? >> actually says there is a climate change element within this. i mean, we've got to look globally and not just of what this is our turn , if you like. this is our turn, if you like. the floods are our turn. you go and the people in those and ask the people in those flooded areas the uk, of flooded areas of the uk, of which there are many and it's building becoming building up. it's becoming a major, three major, major story. three deaths. you ask them whether there's climate change deaths. you ask them whether there's in climate change deaths. you ask them whether there's in this. ate change deaths. you ask them whether there's in this. don'tange deaths. you ask them whether there's in this. don't ask> deaths. you ask them whether there's in this. don't ask nasa involved in this. don't ask nasa who are massively on side. as far what i'm concerned, and far as what i'm concerned, and you know, the evidence is incontrovertible. it's as simple as that. the last ten years, particularly all the graphs, all the temperature graphs, all the wildfire occasions, not all of them, but many of them are unprecedented in what's going on. you had the floods in there as well. you've seen the

pictures from from maui, from from derna in libya . all of from derna in libya. all of these things just stack them together . join the dots and you together. join the dots and you know, you know what? we have this conversation every week is it is . it is. >> can you let jim finish? let jim finish. >> it is it, isn't it? that's >> is it is it, isn't it? that's kind of immaterial what we've got to get to an answer to is how we deal with this irrespective you irrespective of whether you believe manmade climate believe it's manmade climate change sorry, i've got to change or i'm sorry, i've got to pull you up on this because you're away now from the you're moving away now from the nofion you're moving away now from the notion that haven't finished notion that i haven't finished talking. don't know what i'm >> so you don't know what i'm going to say, but it does feel like you're moving away the like you're moving away from the nofion like you're moving away from the notion where change is notion where climate change is manmade sounds like manmade and it sounds like you're the narrative you're accepting the narrative now isn't actually. now that it isn't actually. lois, please lois, respond. please >> just wanted to >> um, yeah, i just wanted to ask jim, why did the monks in mediaeval england build floodplains ? floodplains? >> why the monks go? sorry, >> why did the monks go? sorry, where in mediaeval england before fossil fuels were being used? >> why were flood plains built in mediaeval england? if there was no getting this one to answer the question?

>> yeah, i don't know where that one's come from. don't worry about it. it's actually massively news to me that monks have suddenly arrived done have suddenly arrived and done their ago, their bits 10,000 years ago, whenever know. whenever it was. i don't know. i'm clueless. far as that i'm clueless. as far as that one's concerned . one's concerned. >> no, no, hang on. what? could you ask the question again, jim? do you know the answer or not? what question? what is the question? >> question again. >> ask the question again. >> okay. >> okay. >> point trying to make >> the point i'm trying to make is floodplains have always have always created the always been created in the united kingdom thousands of united kingdom for thousands of years. why would that why years. why would that be? why are you think that's are you why do you think that's the case? you know, if it's all because change, it's because of climate change, it's man fossil fuels. why man made from fossil fuels. why was need protect was there the need to protect from 2000 years ago? from floods 2000 years ago? look, as well as the climate moving, the weather moves with it as well. >> that's part of the equation. you've got to differentiate between and what you're between the two and what you're not doing is exactly that. you've got to able to do you've got to be able to do that. so, yes, course there that. so, yes, of course there are catastrophic weather events, pure events that do pure weather events that do occur from time to time. there are catastrophic climate induced events that are also weather events. they add on, if you like

, that occur. and that's what's happening. that's what's being mapped on now, what's happening and add on climate event or yeah, they add, they add on this, , this babette has this, this, this babette is has got part of that inherent in the in the energy that was put in as as it started to develop in and around the canary as i'm trying to explain it in a very simplified way that that energy goes into the atmosphere and then the atmosphere can hold more water. and once it's a barrier as the high barrier such as the high pressure overscan of navia, all that water out and hey that water falls out and hey presto, get the type of presto, you get the type of events that you're seeing now in the people being flooded the news, people being flooded out, deaths occurring , out, deaths occurring, businesses ruined, all of that. you've got to startjoining you've got to start joining these dots and we've got to start looking at the remedies for this. and what we can do to best survive. >> so, so are you saying that the co2 in the atmosphere caused this was part of what caused this was part of what caused this chain events? this chain of events? >> that what you're saying? >> is that what you're saying? yes, i am. overall, i am. yes, i am. overall, yes, i am. it's part equation. when it's part of the equation. when you entire part of the you say entire part of the equation, what percentage would

you to you can't you attribute to it? you can't you attribute to it? you can't you i'm asking you because you know, i'm asking you because you're it. you're saying part of it. >> want to hear the >> and i want to hear the answer. a nswer. >> answer. >> and the answer is you can't you can't say, you know, that's 10% 12. it's a portion of 10% or 12. it's a portion of that will depending is it that will vary depending is it a larger portion than half in your head a lesser than head or a lesser portion than half head ? to be honest half in your head? to be honest with you, that's a sort of silly question i've got. don't question i've got. no, don't tell me to listen to you. >> there's no question >> listen, there's no question you asking you. made you are asking you. you've made a statement. asking you. you a statement. i'm asking you. you said portion it's said a portion of it. it's a portion is climate change. so portion of is climate change. so i'm mind, how big i'm saying in your mind, how big is portion? is that portion? >> i would say it's significant enough to cause what you're seeing now. that's that's where can you give it like so i could say i think scientists cannot do that. they're not going to say this storm gave that that's this storm gave that and that's you no, no, no, no, no. because >> no, no, no, no, no. because you saying if it's teeny, you keep saying if it's a teeny, teeny, teeny portion in your mind, off that sounds mind, then off then that sounds like not very much. no. what are you saying? a big bit or a small. >> okay, so this is what happens when fill your up to when you fill your bath up to the point of overflow ing. the point of it. overflow ing.

it's you get that it's okay. and then you get that little teeny little bit that goes over the top and it's not okay. that's exactly what happens with climate change. that's that's what we're seeing in terms of in all instances is in terms of globally going globally what's going on. >> had enough this. >> i've had enough of this. you're technical, technical you're technical, your technical ability to stuff, jim, ability to explain stuff, jim, is ovennhelming me baths is ovennhelming me about baths and overflowing and stuff. >> so the ipcc , they're wrong, >> so the ipcc, they're wrong, are they the ipcc are wrong when they say that there is no evidence of any more extreme weather. >> i don't even know where you get that information. >> finish. >> finish. >> yeah. okay >> yeah. okay >> well, carry on, lois. sorry >> well, carry on, lois. sorry >> they. they the reports. >> they. they. they the reports. the actual reports are not the summaries, not the press releases. this isn't. i can. i'll send it to you. jim that say that there's no or very, very slight increase, very slight in extreme weather events and if we're richer as a nation because we haven't bankrupted ourselves, net zero, we can protect ourselves with with, you know , to protect ourselves from know, to protect ourselves from flood , things like that. flood, things like that. >> you're interested in protecting the cars and the vehicles . that's what you're

vehicles. that's what you're interested in. the fossil fuel industry. that's where you are. you need to come back on side. we need proper conversation we need a proper conversation about we go with this next about where we go with this next what know, look at the look what you know, look at the look at happening in the uk. at what's happening in the uk. look happened isn't not look what's happened isn't not what she's saying, though. >> she's saying? >> isn't that what she's saying? >> isn't that what she's saying? >> the ipcc are somehow >> saying the ipcc are somehow somehow contrary somehow coming up with contrary information to what they actually are coming out with? >> well, let her tell you what she's saying. sorry tell us again you're saying, lois. again what you're saying, lois. >> summaries that are >> sorry. the summaries that are written from the reports and then the releases quite then the press releases quite often little often bear very little resemblance no resemblance resemblance or no resemblance to what's written in the what's actually written in the report. do you know who writes that? >> right, let her finish. >> all right, let her finish. i'll finish there's i'll finish because there's a political agenda for the people that are doing the press releases the politicians. releases and the politicians. >> nothing to do >> and that has nothing to do with green all with being green and is all about an anti capitalist agenda. that's all it's about. whether you don't realise your complete this is this is 100 and i think it's 164 countries that put their name to this. >> this is the most countries of the world. these are eminent scientists that actually put

these things out there. not not a couple people sat in the a couple of people sat in the back a wardrobe, pressing back of a wardrobe, pressing buttons on on buttons like they do on on twitter anywhere else. the twitter or anywhere else. the science is saying what i'm saying . saying. >> i'm saying the summaries and the press releases. but they bear very little resemblance or no resemblance to the actual reports. it's well documented , reports. it's well documented, so you need to look around. >> really need to look >> you really need to look around the and what's around the world and what's going what's going on. in going on, what's going on. in the i mean, the last two years, i mean, every there's an event, every time there's an event, even this this this country, even in this this this country, for two years ago, 40 for example, two years ago, 40 degrees june, hottest degrees this june, the hottest june this september, the june ever, this september, the hottest september ever, we missed a couple in the middle. >> when? since when? >> when? since when? >> since ever. >> since since ever. >> since since ever. >> you ever how years since modern times . modern times. >> since modern times. >> since modern times. >> when asked for a number. >> when asked for a number. >> okay so about 120 years. >> okay so about 120 years. >> so you're basing the whole climate science that you are talking about on 120 years of a planet that's been around dillian whyte meteorology started to look at these things in way. in a in a concerted way. >> when it started to >> that's when it started to happen. if we're so

happen. so if we're seeing so many peaks now, if we're seeing so many peaks now and not just in this country, record after record after record falling in every country that you can think of and just watch. i say this to you this prediction, you now, this little prediction, watch 2024 with an el nino running alongside climate change. you watch that one because i'm going to stop you. >> i'm going to stop you both. there because i think i lost interest with el nino. jim dale, thank you very much, senior meteorologist at the british weather services, lois weather services, and lois perry, director of cop26. thank you keep your thoughts you so much. keep your thoughts coming. gb views gbnews.com tweet news. this is gb tweet me at gb news. this is gb news. still come, a trucks news. still to come, a trucks loaded medicine and some loaded with medicine and some food have entered egypt's rafah crossing cross crossing with gaza. we'll cross live to israel to get the latest on the war against hamas. but first, get your latest first, let's get your latest news headlines sophia . news headlines with sophia. >> it's 330. i'm sophia wenzler in the newsroom. the uk has called on israel to show military restraint in its war

>> welcome back . coming up to 37 >> welcome back. coming up to 37 minutes after 3:00. this is gb news. we are the people's channel and nana akua. now, this is something i wanted to talk about because i'm reading all about because i'm reading all about it. and when i you know, my bank said to me, oh, you can use your voice to access your account. i thought, this is a bit creepy, but is artificial intelligence weaponized intelligence being weaponized by scammers to people into scammers to trick people into sending them money? now, that's exactly what's happened a exactly what's happened to a florida called clive . a florida investor called clive. a software program impersonated his voice, to trick his his voice, trying to trick his

bank into transferring money his voice, trying to trick his banitheo transferring money his voice, trying to trick his banithe hands;ferring money his voice, trying to trick his banithe hands of'ring money his voice, trying to trick his banithe hands of fraudsters.�* into the hands of fraudsters. and according to experts , as and according to experts, as many as 500,000 video and voice dead fakes or deepfakes will be shared on social media this yean shared on social media this year. so should we be worried about al stealing our identities? well, joining me now is the lawyer and futurist and andrew eborn . andrew, i my bank andrew eborn. andrew, i my bank said, would you like to use your voice? i said, yeah, yeah, why not? i've changed my mind. >> i think that's a very wise move. >> we are living in a very diseased information age at the moment where i can basically replicate anything that we can do. it can replicate your voice, your image, and the way that you walk so and so forth. and walk and so on and so forth. and it's really, really dangerous times. it's our times. i often say it's our greatest achievement, greatest human achievement, but also the biggest potential existential threat. and what i do, i talk around the world, as you know, about i, i've just come cannes, where come back from cannes, where i was drama awards, was hosting the drama awards, and front and centre, and it was front and centre, obviously about actors and the writers strike and so on and so forth, because everybody's afraid to get afraid they're going to get replaced. i think it was

replaced. and i think it was goldman said 300 million goldman sachs said 300 million jobs will be lost to ai. at the same time, we've got all sorts of wonderful revolutions in terms medicine, in terms of terms of medicine, in terms of what with voices and what you can do with voices and proper licence and on and so proper licence and so on and so forth. but should very forth. but you should be very scared. need to understand scared. you need to understand how the technology works and harness make there harness that and make sure there are appropriate safeguards. >> i was >> because i remember i was listening a thing about al listening to a thing about al and and the reason and the voice ai and the reason why sort of in the why it sort of failed in the past not because it was not past was not because it was not able to the voice, but able to replicate the voice, but because the soundings in the because of the soundings in the background which gave it away. so they fixed the soundings in the background. there was never so they fixed the soundings in tiproblem ound. there was never so they fixed the soundings in tiproblem with. there was never so they fixed the soundings in tiproblem with the are was never so they fixed the soundings in tiproblem with the voices never so they fixed the soundings in tiproblem with the voice atlever so they fixed the soundings in tiproblem with the voice at all,r a problem with the voice at all, and its a problem with the voice at all, and it's a thing. and and now it's a real thing. and i'm wondering banks are i'm wondering why banks are actually it, knowing actually offering it, knowing this, is this, because what insurance is there someone my there for someone like me? my voice lots of things. voice is on lots of things. anyone could easily take it and try and manipulate it. what assurances or what protections are there? >> that's problem. and >> well, that's the problem. and voices difficult to voices is the most difficult to identify a fake. there are identify as a fake. there are lots out there. lots of fake videos out there. there lots of fake pictures. there are lots of fake pictures. and normally there are clues, giveaways. there's fake giveaways. so there's the fake

pope. might remember, in pope. if you might remember, in a so may wear a puffer. so devil may wear prada, the pope likes a prada, but the pope likes a puffer . and can tell because puffer. and you can tell because the are not quite right the fingers are not quite right or a little bit or the glasses are a little bit distorted, but with voice, it's very, difficult. and very, very difficult. and there's lab called there's a wonderful lab called 11 we've been working 11 lab, which we've been working with royal television with with the royal television society , they along and society, and they came along and gave and you can gave a talk. and you can basically exactly basically replicate exactly somebody's voice. and you can also translate it real time. also translate it in real time. so if you have a commentator, for you remember for example, do you remember murray to do the murray walker used to do the racing. he had wonderful, excited the excited passion about the commentary. and commentary. i went abroad and many and some the local many times and some of the local commentators bit more commentators were a bit more pedestrian, put it that pedestrian, let's put it that way. you could have murray way. you could now have murray walker's any language, walker's voice in any language, and sound as though and it would sound as though he's speaking though he were he's speaking as though he were a so really a native. so it is really incredible. the dangerous thing is is it can is this is that it can absolutely in a matter of seconds, can pick up all of your intonations basically intonations and basically replicate those on a phone call. so if somebody and so if somebody phones up and says long relative says it's a long lost relative or whatever, lost all my or whatever, i've lost all my money and using somebody else's phone. recognise the phone. but you recognise the voice, well transfer voice, you may well transfer money, which a lot of what money, which is a lot of what

people have done. so very, very tricky. >> or they could replicate a family member. yeah. so so say like your son or daughter and say, come and me or say, oh come and pick me up or come. absolutely. it's not come. absolutely. and it's not really real. yeah, well one of the things i thinking you've the things i was thinking you've got them, need got to call them, what you need to is you then call them and check. >> so, so call the numbers. i would also recommend we can do this your show. you can be a this on your show. you can be a campaign. people should have a safe word is that if turn safe word is that if you turn around banana around and say banana or elephant or whatever you want to try do, is your safe word to try and do, is your safe word to make make sense so that make that make sense so that they really you. we they know it's really you. we can make that make sense. >> well, you could have a blah, blah, blah, blah, as blah, blah, blah, blah as a safety. >> that should be your >> i think that should be your safe whatever. safe word, whatever. >> with learned that >> but with the i learned that it learn that. it would learn that. >> as long as don't >> and as long as you don't disclose anybody else in any disclose to anybody else in any way that these can hear way that these devices can hear you and so on and so you listening and so on and so forth. so i would work on the basis, work out something secret. told you, secret. but it was i told you, i'm equity. they've got the i'm an equity. they've got the sort of ai stealing the sort of stop ai stealing the show actors are so show because actors are so worried they're to worried that they're going to lose rights to

lose basically their rights to do you had obi wan do it. and you had obi wan kenobi, james rodney earl who did of darth did the voice of darth vader that replicated by ai, but that was replicated by ai, but he basically licenced the right to it. tom a very to do it. tom hanks a very recently, was a tooth, recently, was in a tooth, a dental plan commercial, which he didn't was didn't licence, but it was a deep fake of him on that sort of basis. you might get someone basis. but you might get someone like willis can no like bruce willis who can no longer because of aphasia. like bruce willis who can no longe and because of aphasia. like bruce willis who can no longe and he:ause of aphasia. like bruce willis who can no longe and he basicallyrphasia. like bruce willis who can no longe and he basically licenced yeah. and he basically licenced the company for the russian telecom company for millions of dollars to use his name it is name and image. so it is possible, but you need to control what's happening. andrew, thank you much. >> andrew, thank you very much. >> andrew, thank you very much. >> it's a pleasure to see you. >> it's a pleasure to see you. >> that is andrew eborn. he's there. he's a broadcaster and a lawyer a futurist. and lawyer and a futurist. and that's let's return that's all i write. let's return to israel because it's time now for this week's political spotlight, where this morning, much flowed gaza. much needed flowed into gaza. lots as lots of aid flowed there as trucks the now trucks passed through the now open rafah crossing in cairo. some of the major powers in the middle east and europe are actually meeting for a summit to discuss the ongoing war. but israel, iran and us are not israel, iran and the us are not in attendance . well, i'm joined in attendance. well, i'm joined now by the former british infantry commander, colonel richard kemp, well as the

richard kemp, as well as the illusionist uri geller. good afternoon to you both. i want to start with you, colonel kemp. so you are talk to me about what you're observing as you're there. you're there in israel now. in israel. now. i'm in israel. >> i've i've been here for a couple of weeks and i've i've visited israeli defence forces troops on the border with lebanon and also on the border with gaza and the there's intense preparations going on on both fronts for potential an invasion into a land invasion into gaza coming up soon, possibly , who knows? and also possibly, who knows? and also a large amount of forces up in the north preparing to defend against the iranian sponsored lebanese hezbollah who have been carrying out, together with hamas up there in lebanon, have been carrying out attacks against israel. so conflict is possible on either or both of those fronts. i think in terms of both air and ground offensive , i've also visited a number of the communities close to the

gaza border and i've visited sderot , which is one of the sderot, which is one of the towns worst hit , sderot, which is one of the towns worst hit, and also kfar aza , which is a kibbutz that was aza, which is a kibbutz that was really badly hit. and aza, which is a kibbutz that was really badly hit . and there aza, which is a kibbutz that was really badly hit. and there are scenes of horrific scenes there which are really the reason why the idf need to get in and destroy hamas in gaza . and there destroy hamas in gaza. and there certainly from what i've seen , certainly from what i've seen, certainly from what i've seen, certainly do so . certainly do so. >> so those kibbutz's that you're talking about, are they in are they were they the ones are you talking about in lebanon or in gaza? because i just got a bit confused as to where about you were you were talking about. so the kibbutz that you said was destroyed, was that in gaza ? destroyed, was that in gaza? >> yeah. i'm sorry. i didn't i didn't explain myself . well, it didn't explain myself. well, it was i was talking about sderot and kfar aza , which are two ones and kfar aza, which are two ones that are sort of town, and the others are kibbutz right on the border near gaza. but inside

israel, where hamas carried out a horrific massacres at the weekend . weekend. >> now, you talked about the lebanese border and how prepared are israel with regard to because it doesn't sound like they're that worried about it, hezbollah. but it sounds like the israelis feel like they are strong and ready to tackle them as well. but this is a bit of a worry because i know that some of the rockets that came from that side got through the israeli security and their iron dome . dome. >> yeah, i mean, there have been they the most effective missiles they've been firing from the north have been anti—tank rocket anti—tank missiles which are which the iron dome can't deal with. they're sort of low level direct fire missiles . and so direct fire missiles. and so there has been there have been some casualties sustained from those . but but i some casualties sustained from those. but but i think it's wrong to say that israel is not worried about that . it's a very worried about that. it's a very concerning situation there. hezbollah has 150,000 rockets

pointing at israel from southern lebanon and israel knows that it might well have to deal with an air and ground war in gaza and potentially also an air and ground war, certainly an air war in southern lebanon to deal with these rockets are there because it feels like israel is surrounded on all the sides where it can be surrounded. >> it's surrounded by people who want to fight it. i mean, that's that's how i feel. and i'm looking at israel thinking, how are they to going cope if all of these sort of factions turn against them? and of course, as you get further down, you've got iran, which a huge land mass iran, which is a huge land mass and a massive country. and i am very concerned for israel and its ability to deal with those things on on all the different fronts that it may well have to deal with them. i think israel is ready to deal with all this. >> and one thing we haven't spoken about is, is the judea and samaria or the west bank, where there's been an upsurge of violence there. there's always

violence there. there's always violence there. there's always violence there. but there's been an upsurge since this war began. and that could turn very, very nasty as well . and there's nasty as well. and there's plenty of idf troops deployed inside there. syria as well, is another concern that iran has proxies in syria, that it may try and use to attack israel from. and we saw only yesterday we saw the houthis in yemen who are sponsored and funded and armed by iran, also firing drones and missiles from yemen towards israel, which were intercepted by the united states by a warship . so israel is ready by a warship. so israel is ready . israel faces huge challenges. absolutely many challenges. but certainly from my long term knowledge of israel and from what i've gleaned since i've been here now israel is ready, prepared and will deal with it. it will be very painful and could be a very long conflict. but i have little doubt that israel will be able to handle the situation because, of course, you mentioned those cruise missiles that to cruise missiles that appeared to be way to israel that be on their way to israel that were the united were intercepted by the united

states . states. >> yes, that's a worry. again if a cruise, what does a cruise missile hit the edge of the land or whatever? because obviously these missiles, i'm presuming these missiles, i'm presuming these are in the sea right. >> these these these are these are drones or uavs of the sort that have been used. for example , iranian supplied drones fired at civilian population inside ukraine, the same kind of thing. and they've been taken out. this folly that was fired from yemen have been taken out by the us warships and israel. of course, had they, had they not been taken out by that ship, israel would have been would have undoubtedly taken them out using its own air defences had they approached israel . it's not the approached israel. it's not the first the houthis have first time that the houthis have fired of some sort into fired weapons of some sort into israel. i think the key thing the major point i think we should remember is that israel is facing a very, very tough fight, as you said, as you rightly said, and they they do need our support. they can they can deal with this, but they

need our support. and in particular, they need our support, think, to back them support, i think, to back them in whatever they need to do. it's not going to be a pretty situation. and we've already seen some of the media and i don't include gb news in this, but we've seen some of the media in the west accusing israel already crimes when those already of war crimes when those crimes being committed. crimes are being committed. there's attempts delegitimize there's attempts to delegitimize israel and weaken israel's israel to and weaken israel's fight and this is motivated and pushed by hamas and their supporters . supporters. >> okay. well, listen, thank you very much for talking to me. he's a former british infantry commander. right. let's live commander. right. let's go live now to illusions to uri geller, who is there in tel aviv, is where he lives as his home orisue, thank you so much for joining me. it's so good to see you.so joining me. it's so good to see you. so good to talk to you. i hope your family are all safe and well. talk to me about what it's been like for you because you live in tel aviv. this is your home and you are actually at israel actually at war. >> yes . um, okay. war. >> yes. um, okay. half an hour ago, maybe more. 35 minutes ago.

missiles were flying into tel aviv . sirens, people will run to aviv. sirens, people will run to shelters because you never know where these missiles that are fired from gaza are going to fall . and now i just want to fall. and now i just want to expand on what richard said. and. hi, richard. i know richard , you know, in the bigger arena of things , president biden has of things, president biden has warned iran against escalating the war between israel and hamas into a broader regional conflict. but but iran warned israel of escalation if it failed to end the aggressions against palestine unions with its foreign minister saying that other parties this is very important. other parties in the region were ready to act now , as region were ready to act now, as richard said , to well, more than richard said, to well, more than two missiles were shot down.

that came out of yemen towards towards israel . i believe that towards israel. i believe that some of those missiles and drones are precise. they can hit a precise target. and this is why it's so important to take them out before they hit our major cities . as as we all know, major cities. as as we all know, there are american two aircraft carriers moored nearby . and let carriers moored nearby. and let me tell you this , it is quite me tell you this, it is quite rare for two carrier strike groups to operate together for, you know, the united states military has just 11 in total and deploys only a few at a time . this shows the urgent see and the backup that america hopefully england , germany and hopefully england, germany and other countries are going to give israel in . case give israel in. case >> yeah. are you still there? we

haven't lost through the region. >> can you hear me now? >> can you hear me now? >> yeah. you just came back? yes >> yeah. you just came back? yes >> um, so this is a situation we're in, and i would like to correct your words. nana because you said that these forces is the enemy, is i'm quoting you , the enemy, is i'm quoting you, they're fighting us. no, they are actually out to destroy us. they they are out to wipe israel off the map . that's the off the map. that's the situation we are in. we are powerful . we are strong. and powerful. we are strong. and like richard said, i totally believe that we can handle all all the wars from all around israel , from all fronts , very israel, from all fronts, very the israeli army . the israeli army. >> quite incredible. really quite incredible . i also noticed quite incredible. i also noticed that a lot of people who are in north israel, which is tel aviv, as i understand it, is the

northern part of israel . some northern part of israel. some people have been moved out from parts of north israel that are bordered on lebanon and other bordered on to lebanon and other areas to ensure because there getting ready, israeli troops were apparently getting ready to cross borders as well. i cross those borders as well. i mean, are you having to move or are you too safe where you are? no no. >> the people are being moved nana are settlements in the south and some settlements and towns in the north of israel. they want to have a kind of a clear border for the israeli army, navy and air force to be able to act . army, navy and air force to be able to act. but it is it is unbelievable . it's so surreal unbelievable. it's so surreal that we keep forgetting also nana that hamas murdered or slaughtered children, babies , slaughtered children, babies, men, women , women, they men, women, women, they kidnapped over 200 people in

including babies , boys and including babies, boys and children . i mean, you know, children. i mean, you know, while all this is going on, we kind of are forgetting what happened two weeks ago. so, yeah , "0, happened two weeks ago. so, yeah , no, no one has forgotten what's happened two weeks ago at all. >> you know, there were it seems that families were slaughtered and killed in that. we have heard of families are completely wiped out. so you are correct in your analysis of what you said there. i mean, but, you know, we really have to try because ultimately we all want peace. don't we? you know, we want peace with the palestinian people and with the israeli people. we want peace. that's got to be the goal. but i don't think that is the goal of hamas. i've read their covenant. we all, israel has always wanted peace wants peace. peace and wants peace. >> the way, i tried to >> by the way, i tried to explain my social media explain through my social media on , facebook, instagram , on twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok, what the truth is , what tiktok, what the truth is, what is really happening, because i know what's going on in london, in new york, in germany, in berlin. these massive demonstrations against israel as

news. we are the people's channel. our labour were dealt a double by—election to double by—election blow to rishi sunak week , overturning two sunak this week, overturning two huge conservative majorities in tamworth and mid bedfordshire. so keir starmer claimed labour was redrawn the political map by taking seats which had been comfortably conservative ahead of the general election, expected next year. well, what could this mean for the prime minister? is he marching his party a 1997 style party towards a 1997 style wipe—out or worse ? so joining me wipe—out or worse? so joining me to discuss this further is professor of politics at the university of strathclyde, professor john curtis . so professor sir john curtis. so john curtis, so does could this mean does it feel like this is a sign that sir keir starmer is a dead cert to win the next general election? >> oh, dead, sir. it's far too strong. i think what we can say is that if we draw the historical parallels, both in terms of the standings of the parties in the opinion polls and the results of by elections , the results of by elections, then a year out from the next general election, or at least

potentially a year out, it looks as though the conservatives find themselves in at least as difficult a position as they were in a year before the 1997 general election. yes, the two opinion polls on thursday both had swings of 20% or more to labour. had swings of 20% or more to labour . the last had swings of 20% or more to labour. the last time we had those kinds of swings were before the 1997 general election and that the question is therefore whether rishi sunak can achieve what john major wasn't able to achieve in the 1990s, and that is to turn things around. now. you know the answer to that is not in any sense a dead cert, but certainly i think the conservatives probably do need to understand that unless things do change, they are facing, they are staring defeat in the face and potentially at least quite a serious defeat . serious defeat. >> but could it not be argued that the two by elections say one? of course . that the two by elections say one? of course. nadine that the two by elections say one? of course . nadine dorries one? of course. nadine dorries old seat and the other one chris finch's seat, that the fact is

that these particular mps didn't leave very . well it wasn't leave on a very. well it wasn't wasn't really great was it? and so people potentially looked at that and thought , oh so people potentially looked at that and thought, oh god, so people potentially looked at that and thought , oh god, i'm that and thought, oh god, i'm sick of these people specifically. the specifically. and perhaps the people that they voted for were actually great people rather than the fact that they were assigned a certain assigned to a certain party. could nearer the could that not be nearer the mark or do you think it's . mark or do you think it's. >> i'm sure there are two points i think one can make a response to that is the first is that they there are now if we're going to argue that the conservative party has been losing by—election heavily in this parliament because of local circumstances, it seems to be suffering an awful lot of local circumstances. perhaps in the end a whole load of local circumstances begins to add up to an impression to the public of a party with whom perhaps they shouldn't necessarily have faith. i think that's point number one. you know , we're now number one. you know, we're now being asked to, for example, if you take the selby by—election as well, being asked to accept that lightning has managed to strike three times in the same

place. also, of course, i place. but also, of course, i would point out that there is a commonality between mr pincher and dorries, and that is they and ms dorries, and that is they were particularly associated with prime minister, with the former prime minister, bofis with the former prime minister, boris johnson . and if we want to boris johnson. and if we want to date the moment from which the conservative party fell behind the polls behind labour and began to hit trouble, the truth is it's the revelation of the partygate a gathering in december 2021. that's the moment conservatives fell behind in the polls . and the truth is, if you polls. and the truth is, if you look at some of the polling and you ask people, well, what do you ask people, well, what do you think the conservatives have done badly in the last 13 years, those lockdown parties are still up there in the top 5 or 6. so the truth is, the local circumstances to which you refer are part of a broader story of one of two party leaders in whom the public have now long since decided they don't have a great deal of confidence. >> well, what about the emergence of the reform party? because the votes that the

reform got, had gone to the reform got, had they gone to the conservative party, the conservative party, the conservative party, the conservative party would have won the seats marginally. but they would have won seats. they would have won the seats. so it not be a lot to do so could it not be a lot to do with the emergence of the strength reform as well? >> well, we certainly should bearin >> well, we certainly should bear in mind that the reform party has gathering at party has been gathering at around 6% of the vote. now, in the national opinion polls for quite a while it did some people have been saying, you know, that actually their performance in parliament parliamentary by elections hasn't really matched that. and i think one could even still say the same of that about the two by elections in thursday. only just getting thursday. i'm only just getting over vote in a over 5% of the vote in a constituency, tamworth, where two thirds of people voted leave in 2016 is perhaps less than you might expect given that poll standing that said mean however well reform are doing and certainly three, 4 or 5% in the by elections is now becoming commonplace. sure virtually all of these people are people who voted leave in 2016 and therefore we can reasonably surmise , or at least people who

surmise, or at least people who voted conservative back in 2019 and that in so far as you know, one of the other problems the conservative party faces is, is that there is a fair degree of discontent with how well brexit is going. of course, yes, amongst a lot of remainers, but also amongst a lot of leavers. now, some of those are people who've said, well, you know what, i'm not quite sure it was such a good idea after all, they're particularly concerned about the economic consequences and are the kinds of people and they are the kinds of people who instances have gone who in some instances have gone off labour. sure , there off to labour. but sure, there are feel that brexit are others who feel that brexit has not been implemented properly or that we've not taken full advantage of the opportunities that they think that creates reform uk that it creates and reform uk are clearly a potential source of a way of expressing that view and yes, there is no doubt that this is one of the conservative party. it has to worry about losing votes, as it were, to its right as well as to the labour party and the democrats, although of course, i guess what the conservatives might hope and

one of the ways in which they might begin to be able to get their vote figures up is that perhaps when a general election is more firmly in view that some of people who are saying of the people who are saying they will vote reform will decide in the end better the devil you they know than devil you they know rather than casting for a party that casting a vote for a party that at least doesn't at the moment at least doesn't look though it's much look as though it's got much chance winning seats. all right. >> well, listen, professor john curtis, thank you so much for your views. thank you for joining he's a professor of joining us. he's a professor of politics university of politics at the university of strathclyde. well, let's strathclyde. right. well, let's welcome let's strathclyde. right. well, let's welcome again let's strathclyde. right. well, let's welcome again to let's strathclyde. right. well, let's welcome again to my let's strathclyde. right. well, let's welcome again to my panelet's welcome again to my panel broadcast lizzie broadcast from columnist lizzie cundy adviser to cundy and also former adviser to the party , jeremy corbyn. the labour party, jeremy corbyn. i call you jeremy i was going to call you jeremy corbyn. no . what is your corbyn. no, no. what is your name? >> my name is schneider. >> my name is james schneider. >> my name is james schneider. >> right. so let's start with you, james, then seeing what do you, james, then seeing what do you make of this then this this this the by elections, this defeat in the by elections, i for the conservative i mean, for the conservative party, i think most people expected they expected it, but actually they didn't. party didn't. the labour party didn't win much. you look at win by that much. if you look at it, mean, the are massive. >> the swings are absolutely massive, the swing is massive.

>> difference in votes >> but the difference in votes is but they went from is sure, but they went from huge, huge, massive majority to losing in his storic historic swings. >> i mean, there's no way that you can get around that. then you can get around that. then you can get around that. then you can ask why is that happened? and i mean, i think because most people in the country are worse off than they were 13 years ago or the tories are going to lose and the tories are going to lose and the tories are going to lose and the tories are going to lose next election, whoever they have as the leader, because the record because as if that's the record you're on, it's very you're standing on, it's very hard to it's very hard to win on that basis. >> it was only a i >> yeah, but it was only a i mean, it a thousand couple mean, it was a thousand couple of there, they went of here and there, but they went from they went from getting 60% of the the in the of the vote in the in the general election to down 30 or in the 20s. in the high 20s. >> that is a massive drop by >> so that is a massive drop by any objective . by any objective any objective. by any objective measure, the tories got hammered in both of those by. >> well, i don't know whether you can say that because last time. so the turnout for one of them was like 65. this time the turnout was underneath 40. >> what would your definition of hammered. >> let me just finish. so if

that's case, since the that's the case, since the labour party really labour party didn't really get many extras, tory party many extras, but the tory party actually votes, so they actually lost votes, so they didn't literally. didn't get any votes, literally. and was that their and the argument was that their voters which may voters stayed away, which may well true. but the fact is well be true. but the fact is the turnout was almost half of the turnout was almost half of the the turnouts of the turnout for the turnouts of by elections are normally low. >> i mean, these were but it's dropped like 65 to just dropped from like 65 to just under for by under generally turnouts for by elections are low. and it's true that there's not great huge surging enthusiasm for people voting for labour . surging enthusiasm for people voting for labour. but surging enthusiasm for people voting for labour . but there is voting for labour. but there is no way that you can sugarcoat this. no party should be losing a by—election on such an enormous swing. so you can say, yeah, i hear you . yeah, i hear you. >> but labour didn't really increase their vote really, did they? so what happened was the tories didn't get any votes, more like i mean whilst you say the share was great and you know, the is , is the know, but the point is, is the turnout , you know, but the point is, is the turnout, you have to know, but the point is, is the turnout , you have to factor that turnout, you have to factor that in as well with your. >> i yeah. and i think we're all saying the same thing . saying the same thing. >> i don't think we are. >> i don't think we are. >> well the tories, the tories are going to lose the next election because people, because

people vote for people don't want to vote for them. saying people don't people don't want to vote for them to saying people don't people don't want to vote for them to vote saying people don't people don't want to vote for them to vote forving people don't people don't want to vote for them to vote for them eople don't people don't want to vote for them to vote for them and) don't people don't want to vote for them to vote for them and well,t want to vote for them and well, not that many other people have voted for labour, which is fine. >> i've not said any of that. i've the words that i've said exactly the words that i'm are have to i'm using are that you have to factor in the fact that the turnout almost of what turnout was almost half of what it before and so whilst it was before and so whilst labour get votes, the labour did get the votes, the tories didn't actually the labour party didn't really increase their votes, the, increase their votes, but the, the didn't any votes. >> there's not a tory party strategist or tory party politician who's looking at those election results and going, oh no, don't worry chaps. there's there's there's there's a there's a there's a way. the there's a way back. i mean, people don't to vote, mean, people don't want to vote, tory, most people tory, because most people are worse they 13 worse off than they were 13 years that's what we're years ago. and that's what we're seeing by—election after seeing in by—election after by—election. that by—election. and we'll see that again the general election. again in the general election. >> all right. lizzie cundy right. >> well, i deal in facts. you know, i like a statistic. >> okay. so we're at >> okay. so we're looking at tamworth. >> okay. so we're looking at tamwortwas a 23.9% swing to >> that was a 23.9% swing to labour mid beds fisher was 20.5% swing labour. swing to labour. >> turnout wasn't very good >> the turnout wasn't very good with the voting , but what we've with the voting, but what we've learned from is that people learned from this is that people weren't for, i'm afraid ,

weren't voting for, i'm afraid, your man keir starmer, because they, you know, they don't like him. >> they just disillusioned by the tory party. >> a lot of people now are in the political wilderness wanting to vote tory, but they're not, you know , conservatives aren't you know, conservatives aren't conservatives anymore. there's a papen conservatives anymore. there's a paper, there's like paper cigarette paper between labour and tories. and that's the problem. and i'm afraid, look , problem. and i'm afraid, look, keir starmer is no blair. he hasn't got the charisma. he hasn't got the charisma. he hasn't got the policies we saw from his speech at the labour party. yeah. a lot of big noise, but no substance, no policies. and i'm afraid to say he just, you know, he's saying we're going to win. you know, remember, neil kinnock, remember those kept saying those words? and he kept saying growth. i thought was growth. i mean, i thought i was listening to liz truss for one minute. oh, no policies to stimulate growth. and he used words that theresa may even use stable and strong government and look what happened to theresa may in 2017. just a little reminder, the little kitten heels and that funny dance that she did. >> never again, never again.

>> never again, never again. >> well, i've got to just say, look, he is captain flip flop and he does more u—turns. and i'm sorry i said it last week. i'll say it again. he doesn't know what a woman is. and i think that's a big factor. >> that's a big problem >> i think that's a big problem as think that they're as well. i think that they're under are under playing the under they are under playing the relevance of how important that under they are under playing the re formce of how important that under they are under playing the re for people how important that under they are under playing the re for people like important that under they are under playing the re for people like me.)rtant that under they are under playing the re for people like me.)ryou that is for people like me. i you know, if i was to think that i'm not going conservative, not going to vote conservative, i looking at that i would be looking at that thinking, i just couldn't thinking, well, i just couldn't vote labour because i'm not happy the whole stance on happy with the whole stance on genden happy with the whole stance on gender. not happy the gender. i'm not happy with the fact are talking about fact that they are talking about making easier for to making it easier for people to sulphide. you know, that doesn't work either. work for me either. i'm concerned people sort concerned that people are sort of brushing out of the way of brushing that out of the way and don't them to. and i don't want them to. i think very important. think it's very important. >> you think >> well, you might think that. i don't think very many people will decide their on will decide their vote on on that basis. >> he's erasing women. >> and he's erasing women. >> and he's erasing women. >> there's women. >> there's a war on women. >> there's a war on women. >> yes. yeah. yeah and i said you might, but i think not very many people and think many people do. and i think that's borne out in the that's also borne out in the evidence the voting. so evidence from the voting. so far. mean, i'm not saying far. but i mean, i'm not saying that these big by—election wins

manchester united and for england. you can see him with gareth southgate, always time for everybody. and also as great as he was and i met him a few times as well, just one of these sort of people that always had time for everybody feet on the ground. but a true, true legend of the game and we will see black armbands . we'll see black armbands. we'll see tributes to sir bobby charlton because he is truly one of the greats of british football and a real loss. and as you said, he'd been unwell for some time , which been unwell for some time, which is very sad, but passed away this morning at the of 86. this morning at the age of 86. >> yeah , very, very news. >> yeah, very, very sad news. but an absolute legend. thank you so much, sir paul, for your your thoughts. that's paul coyte. he's a gb news sports presenter . well, well, it's just presenter. well, well, it's just coming up to 24 minutes after 4:00. this is gb news. and it's time now for the great british debate this hour. and i'm asking, what's ditching boris? the mistake now, the tories biggest mistake now, two of safest tory seats in two of the safest tory seats in the country have turned red, with overturning with labour overturning huge majorities in with labour overturning huge maj(beds in with labour overturning huge maj(beds and in with labour overturning huge maj(beds and also in with labour overturning huge maj(beds and also tamworth . the mid beds and also tamworth. the results are a major blow to the

conservatives throwing the party into a further state of turmoil as many point the finger at rishi sunak for the losses now experts are saying that boris has partygate scandal and truss's mini—budget fiasco could also be to blame for the wipe—out. so for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking was ditching boris the tories biggest mistake right. so joining me now to discuss emma burnell political consultant neil hamilton, leader ukip neil hamilton, leader of ukip reem ibrahim. she's a communications officer office reem ibrahim. she's a conthe nications officer office reem ibrahim. she's a conthe institute officer office reem ibrahim. she's a conthe institute of economice for the institute of economic affairs. right. i'm going to start with ryan because you're here the studio. it here in the studio. ryan was it the biggest mistake? >> think it was their >> i don't think it was their biggest mistake. their biggest mistake was being mistake was not being conservative actually mistake was not being c when 'ative actually mistake was not being c when we're actually mistake was not being cwhen we're thinking actually mistake was not being cwhen we're thinking aboutually mistake was not being cwhen we're thinking about they , when we're thinking about the way the leadership way in which the leadership elections last year have elections of last year have played the conservative played out, the conservative party lost party of entirely lost direction, saw effective lee direction, we saw effective lee an identity crisis . an identity crisis. >> the conservative party don't know what that definition of conservatism actually means. many of them don't know can't define what a woman is. many of them can't decide what the tax

burden should be. let's be very clear about this. you know, we currently highest tax currently have the highest tax burden since the second world war. taxes we war. higher taxes now than we did governments did under the labour governments of tony blair and gordon brown. so really think this is their so really i think this is their own doing. boris johnson himself, honest , he himself, let's be honest, he really in power. it was really was in power. it was prime minister carrie johnson with her environmentalist net zero. >> well, you you don't >> well, you don't you don't know that, though. you don't know that, though. you don't know and also it was not know that. and also it was not actually conservatives who actually the conservatives who couldn't woman was. actually the conservatives who coul(was woman was. actually the conservatives who coul(was actually woman was. actually the conservatives who coul(was actually the oman was. actually the conservatives who coul(was actually the labour/as. that was actually the labour party who and took sir keir party who and it took sir keir starmer years finally get starmer two years to finally get to of it. emma to the bottom of it. emma burnell actually the burnell well, actually the initial gender recognition bill was was brought fonnard under theresa may's government in the kwasi on this . kwasi on this. >> and it was not the biggest mistake . mistake. >> it was probably the best move back a little bit back from your mic because it sort of pitting a bit try again there, try. >> is that better? >> is that better? >> much better. sorry >> much better. sorry >> yeah. it wasn't their biggest mistake. it was possibly the only thing they could have done. what we're forgetting is that boris's entire government

resigned and he could not form a government. ministers wouldn't work with him. and the reason was he kept lying to them. he was he kept lying to them. he was caught. you know, i said this at this time. no, you didn't. i'll change your story. change your story while i'm on the television, embarrassing the hell out of me. you cannot run a government that way . and the government that way. and the other is, know , okay, other thing is, you know, okay, bofis other thing is, you know, okay, boris was polling higher than rishi sunak or liz truss. liz truss basically crashed as well as the economy. the tories polling . so ultimately and rishi polling. so ultimately and rishi sunak has not been able to bring it back from that. he never will. he's not the guy that's going to manage that, but i don't think boris would manage that either. all you'd have had is continue lying scandal is a continue lying scandal after scandal after scandal . it after scandal after scandal. it might not have fallen off a cliff quite as quickly, but it was still going in that direction and we'd have had the last year you'd have him last year you'd have had him being found falling under being found and falling under a recall petition as prime minister that's the only difference that you'd have had . difference that you'd have had. >> you think neil hamilton, what

do you think ? do you think? >> oh, well, the one thing we do know about boris is he certainly knows what a woman is. but i don't think that that's the central issue here. i agree with my fellow panellists that the big problem for the tory party is that over the last 13 years, they've serially failed to deliver conservative policies over the whole range of government migration and is completely out of control. it's not just illegal migration. >> the tory government issued 1.2 million residents visas last year to people who've arrived in this country legally . this country legally. >> we got the highest level of taxation nye bevan since the attlee government because as the government under boris johnson locked the country down three times and effectively destroyed the economy and wrecked public finances . rishi sunak and finances. rishi sunak and certainly boris johnson are completely signed up to the mad eco objective of the greens, which is the largest transfer of wealth to the poor, to the rich in my lifetime, and which is

deliberately designed to make the british economy less productive . so it's going to productive. so it's going to double the infrastructure for electricity generation because we need backup power when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine. we could go on and on and on. well, please don't. this is nothing to do with personalities. it's about policy. >> well, listen, but come on. if bofis >> well, listen, but come on. if boris johnson secured an 80 seat majority and whilst people were going on about partygate , i going on about partygate, i mean, you've got to actually acknowledge that a lot of the media, bbc, sky news perpetuated this whole narrative of partygate . and it was they were partygate. and it was they were obsessed by it. when keir starmer had his beergate people didn't want to know . it seemed didn't want to know. it seemed like they'd let him off. so bofis like they'd let him off. so boris johnson did secure a huge majority. emma i think he's got emma. emma yeah. >> he hasn't been found not to do anything wrong. boris johnson's 10 downing street was the most fined place in the country. that's the difference. and honestly , they weren't

and honestly, they weren't obsessed with it. they were reporting it's their job. we are here as a media to hold power , here as a media to hold power, truth to power. and if we can't say that, saying that people who are in downing street setting the rules, breaking those rules is exactly that job of the media, then i don't know what we're all doing here. >> well, keir starmer was may well have been found innocent, although lie on many although he did lie on many occasions. i mean, this is not me saying it. claimed it me saying it. he claimed it wasn't or that it was an wasn't a party or that it was an impromptu gathering. it turned out wasn't. he said only out it wasn't. he said that only a people there and it a few people were there and it turned there were least turned out there were at least 30 whatever it was. he made a 30 or whatever it was. he made a load stuff up as well, and load of stuff up as well, and lots of other people are being found out with that. so in summary then, emma, you think summary then, emma, do you think that emma, so do you that losing emma, so do you think will find one where think we will find one where they were not and that's the bottom of that story? >> yeah , that was, that was all >> yeah, that was, that was all a that was all a bit iffy as well. >> that was all interesting there as well. but emma so would you say that losing boris was their mistake? if their greatest mistake? and if not, was their greatest

not, what was their greatest mistake view ? mistake in your view? >> no, boris is a symptom. their greatest mistake was the 2010 emergency budget bringing in austerity , cutting and cutting austerity, cutting and cutting and cutting . so just one. and cutting. so just one. >> just one, emma , that's >> just one, emma, that's enough. all right, neil. neil, what do you think then? was bofis what do you think then? was boris losing boris the biggest mistake? and if so, what was their biggest mistake ? their biggest mistake? >> the biggest mistake were undoubtedly the lockdowns and the consequences of the economic consequences of those, you know, it's the economy, remember what economy, stupid. remember what i've got to say? >> i agree. i think that the conservative party's big mistake is having absolutely no ideological direction in gorky. >> thank you very much. so nobody thinks they should nobody thinks that they should have boris emma burnell. have kept boris emma burnell. thank you very much. neil hamilton, also reem ibrahim. thank for your thoughts. thank you for your thoughts. right. is news on tv, right. this is gb news on tv, onune right. this is gb news on tv, online and on digital radio. i'm nana akua on the way. we'll continue great british continue with the great british debate. and i'm asking was ditching the tories ditching boris the tories biggest is there any biggest mistake and is there any way for tories? you'll

what my panel make of that. i'm joined broadcaster and joined by broadcaster and columnist cundy also columnist lizzie cundy and also former jeremy corbyn, former adviser to jeremy corbyn, james schneider, cundy, james schneider, lizzie cundy, i'll yeah, it was the worst thing >> yeah, it was the worst thing even >> yeah, it was the worst thing ever. and i think they're all regretting even probably regretting it even probably rishi let's be rishi is i mean, let's be honest, egypt by the honest, he's in egypt by the nile and he's in denial. denial denial. i think, to be fair. look, rishi got in. he parachuted his way in to number 10, backstabbing for the parachute. >> didn't take him back up. yes >> didn't take him back up. yes >> he's so light and little. i'm surprised it didn't. but he parachuted his way in, backstabbing his, you know , backstabbing his, you know, colleague friend in the worst way. and i don't think the conservative party or as the british public can ever forgive him for that. and i'm sorry the man has no backbone. as i said , man has no backbone. as i said, he's like a jellyfish in prada pants . he has not got the pants. he has not got the political will to do anything. i mean , he gave us all of his five mean, he gave us all of his five pledges and none of them have actually worked. i mean, the boats i was saying is that in plural? because i don't think he stopped one boat, has he? i mean, the amount of money that

we're spending on all of the immigration, mean, immigration, i mean, it's 3 billion, year. it's billion, 3 billion a year. it's absolutely awful. and i'm sorry . absolutely awful. and i'm sorry. i think if conservatives got rid of rishi, we'd have a stand. a chance, i think get nigel farage look at the welcome he got at the conservative conference party. i mean, seriously, get nigel back in. i think conservatives would win it, but. but we've only got a year. he's reformed. but come on, richard, just join in. you know , because just join in. you know, because i really am worried if labour, you know, they think they are getting going to win . keir getting going to win. keir starmer as our prime minister, i really that thought i can't bear the i can't bear the thought of it and the woke nonsense. >> so you're not a fan of keir starmer either, are you? no >> on the basis that he's not going to change things terribly much. and we need things to change really a lot change really rather a lot because know, people because you know, most people in the are off than the country are worse off than they 13 years ago, which is they were 13 years ago, which is that if you want to look at the biggest mistakes the tories have made, it's every single policy along george along the way. from george osborne david in

osborne and david cameron. in 2010 that have meant 2010 onwards that have meant that ovennhelming majority that the ovennhelming majority of are worse off. that's of people are worse off. that's fundamentally you said , fundamentally why you said, well, going to well, if you're going to do that, start what that, you should start with what happened labour party. happened with the labour party. >> left hardly >> when they left hardly any money in the kitty and told us that there was no money left. i mean, how they left the mean, that's how they left the economy. >> not actually >> yes, that's not actually true, though, is it? >> that's the made thing that. >> no, liam, no. liam byrne left a little a little silly note, but liam byrne is you know, i nearly said a little silly guy. and then thought maybe and then i thought maybe i shouldn't rude, but shouldn't be so rude, but actually i should be. perhaps even. no, no, no. >> but point is that the >> but the point is that the labour party did not leave the situation, the economy, in a good let's be honest good situation. let's be honest here. were in because of it. here. we were in because of it. we had to deal with austerity, which then had to which the tory party then had to take and not have. take on board and did not have. >> did not. pandemic did. >> did did not. pandemic did. hold hold on. did hold on, hold on, hold on. did not have to take on board. austerity we was shooting ourselves in the foot. it was not economic necessity. we it not an economic necessity. we it was choice. was a political choice. >> that come from the >> but didn't that come from the labour wasn't how labour party? wasn't that how they political the political they the political the political choice could have made

differently? >> not. >> we could have not. >> we could have not. >> not the question >> but that's not the question i'm asking. agree with i'm asking. yes i agree with you. could have done the you. they could have done the tories could have done something differently. let's differently. right. but let's let's something straight. let's get something straight. hang let's get something hang on. no let's get something straight. labour hang on. no let's get something straig leave labour hang on. no let's get something straigleave the labour hang on. no let's get something straigleave the economy our hang on. no let's get something straigleave the economy when party leave the economy when they last office in a they were last in office in a better than is now? was better state than it is now? was it a better state than when it in a better state than when they yes no, you're wrong. >> hold on. hold on. okay. okay fonnard. no, it's not straight fonnard. no, it's not a straight fonnard lie. no, no, no, fonnard lie. right no, no, no, no. hold on. please. no, no, please. okay. please okay. right now, very , very far from a now, i am very, very far from a supporter of new labour. but if you want if your producers want to pull up the statistics and we can show them the screen the can show them on the screen the average income of people in the uk in 1997 was below what it was in 2010. 2010 was higher than it was in 1997. if you want to pull up the average income of people now versus 2010, you'll see it's lower . so on that basis , on that lower. so on that basis, on that straightfonnard factual basis, you can say that the things were

better off for most people in 2010 than they were in 1997, just after the crash , and then just after the crash, and then the subprime fiasco, the banking crash, which left us all in a very which way under the under the labour party? yes but please stop treating me like i'm a spokesperson for gordon brown and tony blair, because i'm not i'm i'm a harsher critic of i'm i'm a far harsher critic of the policies that led to the financial crisis than than any conservative than yourselves, than anyone else in this building. i would imagine so. than anyone else in this building. i would imagine so . so building. i would imagine so. so i'm not trying to defend the policies of new labour, but if we're going to be factual and if we're going to be factual and if we're going to be, what is the biggest mistake the tories have made, wasn't coming power made, it wasn't coming to power in 2010. that is an obfuscation . in 2010. that is an obfuscation. an the greatest mistake that they made are all of the mistakes that they made themselves from onwards. so themselves from 2010 onwards. so it's not the fault of the previous labour government for all flaws, and very all of its flaws, and i'm very happy to day and night happy to talk day and night about flaws right. it's not about its flaws right. it's not their fault that the tories, as did austerity. it's not their fault that they decided to cut corporation tax while while

cutting the incomes of the majority. it's not. it's not the fault of the previous labour government that the tory government, , cut government, for example, cut capital investment in schools. so we've got schools that are falling. yeah, i'm not. none falling. yeah, no i'm not. none of things are to do with of these things are to do with laboun of these things are to do with labour. these are decisions that the tory party's made saying that party made good decisions. >> i'm not again, you are now treating as a spokesperson treating me as a spokesperson for party. am not for the tory party. i am not supporting tory party in any supporting the tory party in any way, shape form. i think way, shape or form. i think they've absolute they've done an absolute disastrous job. it's embarrassing, just not embarrassing, but i'm just not letting of off the letting you sort of get off the hook by saying that the labour party good and left party did a good job and left the economy in a good state. it was in a mess when they handed it over. the mistakes that it over. but the mistakes that the party made, obviously the tory party made, obviously not labour party, not the labour party, and there's in history there's not one time in history have labour party left this have the labour party left this country better place? country in a better place? >> isn't. what do you >> there isn't. what do you mean? been in mean? they haven't been left in a better i mean, blair a better state? i mean, blair and gordon. you think gordon brown. >> you think the country was in a worse state in 1951 than it was in 1945? >> we have have >> we have we have had a pandemic, which were many pandemic, which there were many issues i agree. i'm not a

issues was i agree. i'm not a spokesperson for the tory party, but they did do wrong was but what they did do wrong was have tory party and no have a divided tory party and no one wants to vote for a party that's not united and that's the fault tory party and fault of the tory party and rishi sunak right. >> well, listen, this is nothing without you your views. without you and your views. let's our great let's welcome our great british voices. they're opportunity to be show and tell us what be on the show and tell us what they think about the topics we're discussing. over we're discussing. let's go over to bristol. have a chat to bristol. let's have a chat with fabulous harris. with the fabulous lee harris. lee do think was lee what do you think was ditching boris? their biggest mistake? start mistake? was that the start of the of all horror the cascade of all the horror that we've seen in front us, that we've seen in front of us, that's exactly how i was going to describe it. >> i would say 100. >> i would say 100. >> yes. you know, ditching boris will go down in history as one of biggest mistakes the of the biggest mistakes the conservatives have ever made. >> you know, boris is long >> but, you know, boris is long gone and his removal is certainly the they're certainly not the reason they're going. know, doing badly now. certainly not the reason they're goiibut know, doing badly now. certainly not the reason they're goiibut it'st, doing badly now. certainly not the reason they're goiibut it's setioing badly now. certainly not the reason they're goiibut it's set offg badly now. certainly not the reason they're goiibut it's set off a badly now. certainly not the reason they're goiibut it's set off a specific)w. >> but it's set off a specific chain of events that has caused existential damage to the conservative party , and they're conservative party, and they're still the price it still paying the price for it now. what's so frustrating now. and what's so frustrating now, think same now, i know you think the same is he didn't really need to

is that he didn't really need to go and it was all complete predictable. was all predictable. it was all completely predictable. you know, don't get me wrong, right? bofis know, don't get me wrong, right? boris was not perfect. and there are things that i don't agree with him on, like hs2 and net zero, but there's absolute no doubt was able to doubt that he was able to connect to the public like no other politician, especially in the wall who voted for him the red wall who voted for him in numbers. some voting in large numbers. some voting for time in their for the first time in their lives , all because of boris. you lives, all because of boris. you know , as the excellent michael know, as the excellent michael portillo said on gb news nana for this i'll quote boris is an epic election winner. >> he's one of the finest politicians that i've seen in the years i've been around. >> that's what the tories need to remember now. as he's to remember now. as usual, he's completely but the tory completely correct, but the tory wets by sunak and hunt, wets led by sunak and hunt, clearly didn't care about any of that they booted him out that and they booted him out anyway. since then it's been anyway. and since then it's been managed decline mostly weak non conservative policies and high tax hunts. but having said all that, and i'll finish on this because i honestly shut me up nana um, having said all that, looking at the results of all

the recent by elections, people are definitely not rushing out to labour. they're barely to vote labour. they're barely winning more votes than they did in 2019. mid bedfordshire , in 2019. and mid bedfordshire, for example. >> well, exactly. >> well, exactly. >> even will even less votes than they did in 2019. >> that's what i pointed out. >> that's what i pointed out. >> exactly . they're >> running exactly. they're winning by labour, winning by default. >> so. so in summary then it was because that was the beginning of end. lee harris, thank of the end. lee harris, thank you much. that's lee you very much. that's lee harris, our great british voice there bristol. this is news there in bristol. this is news on online on digital on tv, online and on digital radio way in the next radio on the way in the next houn radio on the way in the next hour, it's time for the great british debate. i'm asking, is biden leader of the biden fit to be leader of the free world? but next, it's my weekly royal roundup with royal biographer angela levin

good afternoon . if you've just good afternoon. if you've just tuned in, where on earth have you been this is gb news. we are the people's channel. i'm nana akua. now there's always something going on the royal something going on in the royal household and this week has been no different menu. prince no different on the menu. prince harry's been looking no different on the menu. prince hara"s been looking no different on the menu. prince hara base been looking no different on the menu. prince hara base for been looking no different on the menu. prince hara base for his been looking no different on the menu. prince hara base for his family.ooking no different on the menu. prince hara base for his family inking no different on the menu. prince hara base for his family in the for a base for his family in the uk house hunting near uk and house hunting near london. really every saturday. i'd love to give you a rundown. and who better to do so than royal biographer angela levin? right. so we've got to get stuck in harry. is he actually in with harry. is he actually this is serious that he thinks he to come here after he wants to come back here after everything said ? everything he's said? >> no, i think there's a bit of duplicity there. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> you? yes, do. i think >> do you? yes, i do. i think meghan want to come back meghan doesn't want to come back to ever, because it's too

to the uk ever, because it's too small and not interesting. she thinks globally. harry i think wants to come back because he can do it without asking his father. he can buy a house and he can actually then try and get protection 24/7. elianne because he'll be around even though he's not actually working at the expense of the taxpayer on the expense of the taxpayer on the expense of the taxpayer. yes. and people are saying he now wants to be friendlier with the family and think about where the children's going. i think it's a nonsense. i think in a way that, you know, they wanted to move to another part of los angeles last month because they could be with trendy singers and all that, and that didn't come off. and now we've got this thing, i think he's just trying to get his father to feel very uncomfortable because if harry is there and he finds out what's going on, he can sell it off or he can do it before if we come to november, when we've got all

the army and the people, all that, he won't do his on the same day. he'll do it before or he'll do it aftennards. he'll do it in a special way, get all the cameras. and i think it's all i hate to make him such a sort of nasty piece of work, but i think that's what he's become. and i was remembering looking something in my biography of him and he said , you know, my mother and he said, you know, my mother encouraged me to be mischief and to be naughty because she said that she was very naughty. and that's why i made friends at eton with all the very naughty boys. and i thought, actually, he's still a naughty boy. he's not actually grown up enough to understand that he can actually, he needs to respect his father. and i thought that the king made a very subtle speech about, you know, this is a great country. we must be tolerant. we must not understand each other , listen to understand each other, listen to each other. and i thought this was for harry as well as for all

the problems that we've got . and the problems that we've got. and i think he's just going to be a real difficult man. >> but you wrote the biography, his biography. you met him and everything you were you thought he was wonderful, though. yes he was wonderful. >> he was a very different man. ispent >> he was a very different man. i spent 15 months with him, so i got to know him extremely well. and he was talking an awful lot about clive change. and he would work with this with his father. and he believes in this. and he set up this , what's it called? set up this, what's it called? travalyst in 2019. and his whole thing was to help us understand what's going on in the countries and not, not not go and take too much when you're when you're flying , you see. well, that's flying, you see. well, that's gone well , that's what i'm gone well, that's what i'm saying. >> i think it's a bombardier, isn't it? this is like a private jet that emits really gone now. >> he took a private private planes from america to the canbbean planes from america to the caribbean when there's loads and

loads of regular planes. he didn't have to do that. he had seven suv cars, which had to go round a very small square when he and meghan went for the years sort of mental health and so for him, he's not interested anymore. i think they should get rid of him. he's still there . rid of him. he's still there. >> patron when you say get rid of him, as in get rid of him from the top of the head of this charity. >> yes. he's the patron. how can you have a patron that doesn't take any interest in what anybody else is doing? and he can do things that other people can't? i think that that's can't? i don't think that that's right. why should you listen to somebody who's actually going on flights and planes and cars that guzzle up oil and all the rest of it when it could be helped? >> well, to be honest, though, i mean, if it was me, i'd be more than happy with seven suvs and all that stuff. but i'm not preaching about the climate. i've got to be quick. andrew because i've to move on. but

because i've got to move on. but i wanted you about the i wanted to ask you about the posters, about the middletons finance, pictures finance, the pictures there. >> gone the trees >> they've gone up on the trees around where they live in berkshire now. they had this party pieces and it all went wrong . and it's about £2 million wrong. and it's about £2 million to get it right . wrong. and it's about £2 million to get it right. but i think it's a shame because i think that mrs. middleton has done a great deal for william , given great deal for william, given him an idea of what a happy family is like. and looked after little charles. it's not charles. lovely, lovely family, though. they are a lovely family and they produced a beautiful princess, brilliant woman. and i don't think that everyone should attack them for something that they're obviously very disappointed about. well, listen, angela, thank you so much for coming in to talk to me. >> really good to talk to you. good to see you back on our screens with a royal roundup. she'll be back next week. but now want return to the now i want to return to the breaking been breaking news that's been announced. the legendary england football charlton football player bobby charlton has after has died at the age of 86 after a illness. joining us now

water supply is now safe and secure. so is the government right to send the migrants back to the bibby stockholm barge? let's see what my panel make of that. i'm joined by author and broadcaster lizzie cundy and also adviser jeremy also former adviser to jeremy corbyn, schneider . james corbyn, james schneider. james schneider, i want to start with you . they right to get them you. were they right to get them back on the barge? no of course not. >> i mean, the whole policy is incredibly stupid, wrongheaded, as well as being cruel and unpleasant . i as well as being cruel and unpleasant. i mean, as well as being cruel and unpleasant . i mean, you've got unpleasant. i mean, you've got 170,000 cases. that's the number of people in the backlog. and putting a few hundred onto an unsafe barge isn't going to deal with that. what you need to do is to get through the backlog, which means hiring more caseworkers, interpreters , caseworkers, interpreters, translators and going through and working out what rights people have who need support and who and who doesn't. and this barge is just a bit of cruel theatre to try to make the government look like it's doing something. >> hang on a minute. well, you're calling it cruel theatre.

>> yes, because it is straight. >> yes, because it is straight. >> so we had people who worked on who sleep on that on rigs who would sleep on that barge with nothing wrong with that. they mind that's that. they bear in mind that's what 30 of them or not even 50 of you had of them. and you had ex—army soldiers sleeping on the barge, soldiers sleeping on the barge, so there not a problem with so there was not a problem with it. why there a problem? why it. why is there a problem? why is it cruel theatre to put people on barge where they're people on a barge where they're fully, they've all fully, fully, they've got all the they've the accommodation, they've got heat, they've got light, they've got they've got freedom heat, they've got light, they've go leave they've got freedom heat, they've got light, they've go leave the they've got freedom heat, they've got light, they've go leave the barge. e got freedom to leave the barge. >> so i used two words there cruel and theatre. so the reason why it's cruel is they want why it's cruel is, is they want to 500 on it, which to put 500 people on it, which is way more than there's not 500 people on it. no, i know. but that's what want is to put that's what they want is to put 500 which more 500 people, which is way more than before, which is than they had before, which is why example, fire why for example, the fire brigades union rights brigades union and human rights organisations that organisations have said that it's at that level. it's not safe at that level. that's why there was and there was bacteria in the water was the bacteria in the water supply legionnaires, right? supply with legionnaires, right? so that's cruel and so that's the cruel bit. and the theatre do the job. hold on purpose. >> no. sure. yeah. yeah fine. but it shows that it's not really very sensible policy. and then and then you. and

you know, and hopefully, you know, fatima's campaign is going to do just that. >> well, can we come back to your story then, your personal story? so when you were very, very small, you were abandoned. that's so sad . oh, well . that's so sad. oh, well. abandoned is a baby, some would say left to die. as you said, a neighbour heard the baby cry. now, of course, the police came, banged a door down after two days with nobody coming or going. >> and i was made a ward of court and i spent the next 14 years of my life in children's homes. and the first five years was spent in in hertfordshire with 25 other children. and i can remember at five years old, we were playing in the front room and everyone, anyone who came to the car park area, which we overlooked , i'd always say is we overlooked, i'd always say is that my mummy coming to get me and i think a lot of the children felt that way. >> they were very vulnerable. >> they were very vulnerable. >> they were very vulnerable. >> they come with a lot of trauma. >> you know, it's something that happens with our young children in the care system and we need to look after them. it's time that we all got together and

supported children , give supported these children, give them love and support in homes that they need, you know, and them love and support in homes that them feed, you know, and them love and support in homes that them 1eed security. )w, and them love and support in homes that them 1eed security. everyd give them the security. every child right to a safe and child has a right to a safe and happy childhood. you grew up happy childhood. so you grew up in care. so this care home that you were in, did you stay in this care home or were you moved about? and what was your experience the care system? experience of the care system? well, years old, i was well, at five years old, i was called by the matron of the home, fatima , be down here in home, fatima, be down here in the reception area at 9:00 tomorrow you're going tomorrow morning. you're going tomorrow morning. you're going to to a new children's home to move to a new children's home to move to a new children's home to live with your half brother and sister and your mother. come to live with your half brother anwithter and your mother. come to live with your half brother anwith yound your mother. come to live with your half brother anwith your socialr mother. come to live with your half brother anwith your social workerer. come to live with your half brother anwith your social worker to come in with your social worker to take you . take you. >> well, never been told >> well, i'd never been told that a or that i had a mother or a brothers or sisters and yeah, it was quite a shock. >> five years old. that's a lot to process. was that your real mum and your and that was the biological mum? yeah and yeah, sadly, i mean for me, i mean she never spoke to me when she arrived at the, the home and i can remember the, the social worker was full of the joys of spring. i didn't know which was

which because i naturally gravitated as kids do, because it comes to mind. >> this was a happy lady. >> this was a happy lady. >> that must be my mummy instead of obviously the lady with the black curly hair with, you know, obviously the greek looking origin. i didn't put those two things together as children. never do, you know, that was my perception. this was a happy lady that was smiling and making contact with me. but the other woman never spoke to me once. and in fact , the whole journey and in fact, the whole journey down, i cried . really? so what down, i cried. really? so what happened? you went with your mother and your half brother and sister ? yes. when i moved to sister? yes. when i moved to another children's home. and this is the point i make about a lot of the children in the care system, once they're moved constantly, it's very unsettling. and for me that was no different because i was leaving a children's home, which was my family, you know, the children were my family and of course, i wasn't there long in the new children's home and the biological mum, she grabbed me by the throat, she says now you

look after your sister. i cut your throat. and i thought, oh, your throat. and i thought, oh, you know, i mean, five years old. that was quite scary . old. that was quite scary. >> and then she was supposed to be taken in the family back to integrate as a family . integrate as a family. >> and we got halfway down the road and unfortunately , she road and unfortunately, she poking me with her elbow in my ribs and she said , you go, we ribs and she said, you go, we don't want you off. we don't want you. and i kind of like didn't know whether to laugh or cry because i'd had this big half a crown coin in my hand and i didn't want to go in the first place. but then again, you know, i was upset because i'd started to think maybe this was an opportunity for me to have a family, but it wasn't to be. and for a lot of children that are in the care system, nana you know, there's a lot of emotional disturbances and a lot of trauma that comes through in in their lives. and what we to give lives. and what we need to give them stability , give them the them is stability, give them the opportunity security in their opportunity of security in their life. so how did you eventually

get adopted? because i know you were . what's the were adopted. what what's the story there ? story there? >> through sport? >> through sport? >> sport was my saviour. and i >> a sport was my saviour. and i think for a lot of us young children, we need them children, we need to give them a focus. it's really important to remember that remember this, you know, that they have the opportunity to feel a sense of belonging and connect with people . so keep connect with people. so keep them off the streets, keep them out of the wrong hands of the wrong people and of crime. and i think we'll have a lot better communities if we do that, if we work together to do that. for me, sport was my saviour and that's through a netball match. my team were sort of doing well. i was motivating them . today i was motivating them. today you'd call us motivators , but you'd call us motivators, but then it was like a pain in the. someone who was talking too loud on the court and the whistle went and the umpire said, young lady, keep that noise down, othennise you'll be off. so i kind of looked and i started it was the match was going 12 or 13, 12, 14 or it was it was a cup match. and i'd already, you know, played exceptionally well

and i wanted to win my first medal and of course, my voice started rising again and a whistle went. the umpire said, i've told you once before that if i have to tell you again, you'll be off. >> and of course, as i turned, i started to matter. >> and of course, the captain, team captain said, oh, fats, be careful . she's quite strict. careful. she's quite strict. well that was the end of the match. and i said my friend match. and i said to my friend alma, lived in children's alma, who lived in a children's home corner. alma, home around the corner. alma, let's the local athletic let's go to the local athletic club. the athletic season. club. it's the athletic season. and course off, we went. and of course we off, we went. alma off to the sprinters alma went off to the sprinters and i saw this tall blonde guy throwing what looked like a spean throwing what looked like a spear. so i walked across to him and i picked the spear up. >> i went to pick it up and he said, you're not allowed to do that. >> so i said, why not? so he said to the shop coach turned to the shop. coach and said, can you look after this young lady? so he said, come to the stand. he said, wait for the javelin coach and then you can try throwing the javelin and of course, sat the stand toe course, i sat in the stand toe tapping lot of us kids,

winning league and winning the league title. and bobby went further bobby charlton even went further because not only did a because not only did he win a league three league titles with manchester also won manchester united, he also won the think the european cup. and think about the, if you will, the busby babes back in 1958. he was on that plane. he was one of the few survivors of that team that perished on the on the runway on the tarmac in munich. and his brother jack always said he was never quite the same person after that. he was always a little more reserved. but little bit more reserved. but one thing he did do in the football sense is he recovered as part of that team. he rebuilt that and ten years that legacy. and ten years later, in they won the later, in 1968, they won the european cup. as you can see on the screen now as well. i think they're the pictures of the 1968 european final at wembley european cup final at wembley when beat by four when they beat benfica by four goals one. so to my knowledge goals to one. so to my knowledge , i think right in saying , i think i'm right in saying that the only english that he's the only english player ever won the player ever to have won the world cup and the european cup. that apart from anybody that sets him apart from anybody else. say, he's he was else. as you say, he's he was one of a dwindling number anyway, the world cup winners anyway, of the world cup winners from i interviewed him from the 66. i interviewed him back before the

back in 2012, just before the olympics . he was back in 2012, just before the olympics. he was a charming individual. we didn't really chat football. we chat much about football. we were manchester chat much about football. we wethe manchester chat much about football. we wethe time. manchester chat much about football. we wethe time. and manchester chat much about football. we wethe time. and although ester chat much about football. we wethe time. and although ther at the time. and although the interview took place in london, we were chatting in we were chatting about life in general, very, very general, and he was very, very good he was very giving good to me. he was very giving of his of his time and he was a perfect ambassador for the olympics that time as well, olympics at that time as well, having competed the having actually competed in the olympics then if olympics himself. and then if you his numbers as well, you look at his numbers as well, you look at his numbers as well, you consider in terms of you have to consider in terms of his position as a player in before bobby charlton, midfielders score midfielders didn't really score that didn't that many goals. they didn't get fonnard. look at his fonnard. but if you look at his record, 249 goals in 7758 appearances for manchester united, caps for england, 49 united, 106 caps for england, 49 goals, record only eclipsed goals, that record only eclipsed in 2016 september 2016. i think it was by wayne rooney . those it was by wayne rooney. those are truly outstanding numbers at are truly outstanding numbers at a time when it was more difficult to record those numbers because the position of the that from the player meant that from midfield didn't get in as midfield you didn't get in as many goalscoring positions. so we're the we're talking here about the very, best. the elite very, very, very best. the elite of english football and he'll be toasted and he'll be celebrated quite rightly in the coming days for reason. for that reason. >> thank you very much.

president did fully hear the president did not fully hear the question agreed that question after he agreed that israel gaza israel should delay a gaza ground assault until more hostages can escape . now, this hostages can escape. now, this comes after another embarrassing gaffe by the 46th president where biden claimed that he saw children beheaded by hamas, which the white house have had to later row back on and, of course, this follows a number of awkward media moments, whether he's falling asleep , the he's falling asleep, the president falling over or shaking hands with the air or not knowing where to go. i mean, let's take a look at some of these moments . these moments. >> i never really thought that i would see have confirmed picture of terrorists beheading children i >> we're facing an inflexion point in history. >> one of those moments where the decisions we make today are going to determine the future for decades to come. >> iran is supporting russia, as

you in ukraine, and is supporting hamas and other terrorist groups in the region. ban the department of justice from enforcing civil rights laws by ban pride flags from flying on public lands who the hell . on public lands who the hell. >> so for the great british debate, this i'm asking is biden fit to be the leader of the free world? well, joining me now to discuss, greg swanson is the chairman of republicans overseas. peter spencer, political suzanne political correspondent suzanne evans, political commentator . evans, political commentator. all right. i'm going to start with you, greg. is he fit to be leader of the free world? >> unfortunately, no. he's he's clearly not fit. and you could see his frail delivery. see it in his frail delivery. you could see it in his the challenges to his cognitive ability. problem our ability. the problem with our system president we system is he's the president we have. so even though i don't think to be the leader think he's fit to be the leader of the free world, especially at moments like this, we don't have the ability to call a snap election . this is just this is election. this is just this is president biden is going to be

our president for another year and a year and a few months. and or a year and a few months. >> just have no idea why >> i just have no idea why anybody thought that he would be fit to run as president in the first but i suppose first instance. but i suppose there there anything but there was there anything but trump evans trump mentality. suzanne evans i think quite sad actually, think it's quite sad actually, what we're seeing. >> i mean, without a shadow of a doubt, a shadow of his younger self, when you think how competent and capable he was as a man, it's really quite a younger man, it's really quite sad see now. sad to see him now. >> but i think as we've just heard, he's going carry on heard, he's going to carry on being i think don't being president. i think i don't see any possibility of him standing down. my concern is that wants stand again. that he wants to stand again. >> think that's absolute madness. >> already about >> he's already talked about he's again, but it he's going to run again, but it hasn't been announced yet. he's going to run again, but it has remember nounced yet. he's going to run again, but it has remember thaticed yet. he's going to run again, but it has remember that particular gaffe? >> i would be the last person to say that politicians should be young. >> i think you have to strike a balance between experience and life and youthful life experience and youthful ability . ability. >> but i think for anyone really , 80 is far too old and i'd say the same about former president donald trump, who's also wants to stand again.

>> he's 77 now. he's going to be biden's age very shortly. >> i'd say the same thing about about him, too, but think about him, too, but i think biden just so many biden has just had so many gaffes so many times where he's frozen up, lost train of frozen up, lost his train of thought, slurred his words, become incomprehensible, gets facts wrong. and that's the really worrying thing. the sheer amount of facts he's got wrong. and he's got and even when he's got a scripted now, he can't scripted speech now, he can't seem to read the teleprompter. it conceivable that he it really conceivable that he should need to bring peter spencer and peter duel. >> i mean, the point is made and it's a valid point that back in the day he was a formidable force. >> but that's back in the day. i mean i hate to use the a word, but for god's sake, the guy's even older than i am and still alive , which quite alive, which is quite comforting. of . comforting. and it's sort of. but the fact remains, it's quite a tricky job being the leader of the free world. he's got the state apparatus to back him up, but still he is the face of it. and as a point has been made repeatedly , he's always

repeatedly, he's always stumbling, either in what he's saying or or or getting on and off podiums or whatever . and of off podiums or whatever. and of course, this comes at a particularly dangerous, fraught time in geopolitics, for heaven's sake , we got the heaven's sake, we got the russians and we got the chinese and da da da da da. and cd okay, queen victoria wasn't quite in the finest of fettle towards the end of her reign, but she wasn't running the country. whereas in theory, this man is as well. and so empires come empires. >> well, you can see people are on tenterhooks when he's speaking, like when he was talking to the israelis. absolutely everyone was just thinking, please don't mess it up. he mess it up up. and he did mess it up a little bit. you guys, you can tell it was the other guys so that was pretty bad. >> yeah, but pizza. >> yeah, but pizza. >> anyway, thank you so much for joining just one up. joining me. just make one up. >> i just. >> can i just. >> can i just. >> five seconds. peter. >> i've got five seconds. peter. >> i've got five seconds. peter. >> five seconds. okay. it's very likely pitted against trump, likely him pitted against trump, who a convict, sex offender who is a convict, sex offender and accused of all manner of fraud. >> i'm gonna have to stop you

they will quickly and then they will quickly clear and then for many it is much drier and for many it is a much drier and brighter day. still risk of brighter day. still the risk of some showers across western parts. they may well just creep a bit further east from a little bit further east from time but basically the time to time. but basically the further east you are, the greater chance of staying dry throughout day . temperatures throughout the day. temperatures in very similar to in the north very similar to what we've seen recently . it what we've seen recently. it tends to 12 degrees, potentially up about 15 degrees in the up to about 15 degrees in the south heading into monday . a dry south heading into monday. a dry start for most potentially a frosty start, actually for scotland as we go through the course of the day, outbreaks of rain will come close to parts of northern ireland. and then later on, a band of rain on, we then see a band of rain working in across southern parts of england. that really sets of england. and that really sets us up for another unsettled spell towards the spell as we go towards the middle the week
