former party mep ben former brexit party mep ben habib. what's coming habib. now here's what's coming up. israel's military have vowed to continue airstrikes on gaza and warns residents in the north of the territory to move south. i'll be speaking to security editor mark white. he's there live in tel aviv. we'll bring you the latest . more trouble for you the latest. more trouble for the metropolitan police who have come under fire again for allowing chants of jihad at a pro—palestine march yesterday in london. should the met police have intervened ? also, is rishi have intervened? also, is rishi sunak's premiership in crisis? well, we know it is, but according to reports, up to 25 mps are set to hand in a vote of no confidence against the prime minister following a double by—election defeat on thursday. so should the tories cut their losses and ditch sunak or should they cut their losses and keep sunak? i'm not sure whether there'll be a difference. and also this is a big one, especially if you're a landlord. no fault evictions should they be banned? rishi sunak could be pushing ahead with a policy to ban fault evictions, ban no fault evictions, which could see of landlords

could see a lot of landlords moved out of the housing market. many as an many have described this as an anti landlord bill. but do you agree ? and finally, who do you agree? and finally, who do you think is more likely to cut taxes between tories and the taxes between the tories and the labour a new poll has labour party? a new poll has found that found that sir keir starmer's party is to be the champion of lower taxes, but sees as a flip flopper on sees him as a flip flopper on many policies . and so he might many policies. and so he might or might not. that's coming or he might not. that's coming up the hour . aslef tell up in the next hour. aslef tell me what you think on everything we're discussing. email gb views gbnews.com tweet me at . gb gbnews.com or tweet me at. gb news. but first, israel's military have sent an urgent warning to palestinians to move south of the gaza strip or risk being seen as terrorist sympathisers . now, this comes as sympathisers. now, this comes as israeli media reports that hamas terrorists have been captured in israel near the border with gaza after being in hiding since the attacks on the 7th of october. so i'm going to cross live now to tel aviv and speak to our

home and security editor, mark white. mark, so talk to me about what's been going on. can you give me an update at. yes it's been a very busy day here in israel in terms of the ongoing conflict . conflict. >> we have seen that escalation as promised by the israeli defence force in terms of the strikes on northern gaza to take out what they say are hamas targets ahead of this expected land invasion . and that has land invasion. and that has brought about a response, as we expect , with a significant expect, with a significant uptick, i think in rocket fire that has come out of gaza into israel throughout it today. certainly attacking targets in southern israel and central israel, including just south of the tel aviv here just on the southern outskirts of this city this morning with a barrage of

rockets being intercepted by israel's air iron dome defence system. and the israeli defence force have just given an update actually on the figures for the number of rockets that have come over since the terrorist attacks of october the 7th. they say that. of october the 7th. they say that . 7000 207,625 rockets have that. 7000 207,625 rockets have been launched from gaza since that day just over two weeks ago andits that day just over two weeks ago and it's continuing as i speak to you. another alert just south—east of gaza this time with a barrage of rockets is coming over and being into cepted again by the iron dome system away from that nana taking you up to northern israel. the border with lebanon. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has been visiting israeli troops up there. he has issued a very

stark warning to the terror group hezbollah, warning them not to open up a new front in this conflict. there has, of course , been missile fire, course, been missile fire, sporadic fire coming across that border, across that lebanon border, across that lebanon border in recent days with the israeli forces returning fire, taking out these hezbollah targets. but benjamin netanyahu saying that there would be a reciprocal attack of unimaginable magnitude should hezbollah decide to enter this conflict in any meaningful way in the days ahead. on a more positive note, we have seen some more trucks coming across the gaza, israel , egyptian border, gaza, israel, egyptian border, the rafah crossing there, 20 yesterday. so far today we're aware of 17 trucks that have crossed . it's a very small crossed. it's a very small number in comparison to the hundreds of trucks that would

normally come into gaza when we are not in this particular conflict phase. it's badly needed. but what we're not getting at the moment are fuel trucks coming over . and the trucks coming over. and the israelis have had no guarantees that the fuel supplies that come into to gaza would not then be taken by hamas, of course, which controls the gaza strip. in fact, the concern is that anyway , a lot of the aid supplies that are coming over will be commandeered by hamas . commandeered by hamas. >> oh, goodness. i mean, this is just it's terrifying, really . just it's terrifying, really. listen, mark, we will keep up to date with you throughout the show. thank you so much for that. that is mark white. he's there in tel aviv. we can now speak to david hacham. now he's a former idf colonel and adviser to ministers of defence for arab affairs. good afternoon, david. thank you so much for joining me. now a lot of people probably may not know the history, the

historical context of it. i presume because you've been working this area for working within this area for decades that you'll know with regard it or regard to the start of it or with the withdrawal and with the withdrawal in 2005 and all numerous sort of all the numerous sort of conflicts since . talk to me conflicts ever since. talk to me about what it was like and some of some things that have of some of the things that have happened throughout that conflict happened throughout that conyes, it's hard to do it in a >> yes, it's hard to do it in a very short way because we are speaking about, you know, dozens of years to the past . listen, of years to the past. listen, first of all, i would like to tell you that during my military service, i served in the gaza strip for almost eight years. this was like 30 years ago or more than 30 years ago during the first palestine, an uprising which is called in arabic intifada. i was there in the gaza in the gaza strip . i was gaza in the gaza strip. i was located in in the main city of gaza to the city of gaza. and i was the advisor for palestine and arab affairs to the commanders of the southern command and the cogat, the

civilian administration commander inside gaza. you know, i must tell you in this regard that we have passed many, many events in the past which brought us to the present situation today of these , you know, last today of these, you know, last wave of terrorism from the gaza strip against the israeli civilians . i can tell you that i civilians. i can tell you that i think that one of the main junction in this regard, i don't want to go back, you know, many, many years to the past . want to go back, you know, many, many years to the past. but i'll tell you, frankly, i think june two thousand and seven, this was , i would say, the changing point in this regard as regard to the israeli, you know , to the israeli, you know, staying the israeli deployment in the gaza strip in june two thousand and seven, hamas has took an overall control of the gaza strip. and as a matter of fact, kicked out, expelled all

the people of the palestinian authority , the palestinian authority, the palestinian authority, the palestinian authority, which the head until today is mahmoud abbas. abu mazen and hamas took over all control in gaza. this was the, i would say, the changing , you would say, the changing, you know, point in this regard. and from that period of time until today, hamas is in a full control of the gaza strip area . control of the gaza strip area. and from june two thousand and seven, there were three major, you know, military operations of the idf with israeli defence forces inside gaza. because you have to understand and the meaning of hamas, hamas, by the way, is the abbreviations of harakat al—muqawama al—islamiyya, the islamic resistance movement. and listen carefully to the to the abbreviations of hamas . you abbreviations of hamas. you cannot find the word palestine or palestinian in the word because, you know, they the

ambition of hamas is not only to liberate in quotations palestine and to be responsive for palestine, including, you know , palestine, including, you know, the west bank or judea and samaria. but at the same time, they're looking of hamas is to all over the arab lands from ocean to ocean, from the indian ocean to the atlantic ocean, and to rebuild the islamic empire as it was after the time of the prophet muhammad and the first four caliphs in the in the time of the umayyad umayyad empire and abbasid empire on the ruins of the state of israel . you have of the state of israel. you have to know this. and as a matter of hamas is like an anti—semitic , hamas is like an anti—semitic, you know, movie movement against israel , you know, movie movement against israel, against you know, movie movement against israel , against the jews, israel, against the jews, calling to kill, to external date, to slaughter the jews . date, to slaughter the jews. this is something that you have to take into consideration when

i'm speaking about hamas ideology. so some people can elaborate. sorry yes. >> but some people might argue that. i mean, can you separate hamas as a terrorist organisation with the governing body, hamas of those palestinian areas? because some people, you know, is that are they separate entities or are they all one? >> listen , we are speaking about >> listen, we are speaking about one organisation, one movement that that has two different, you know , i would say arms or know, i would say arms or defence department. there is like, you know, the ideological political one headed today by ismail haniya. i know him personally , ismail haniya and personally, ismail haniya and there is the operational wing of hamas headed by mohammad dev. this is the name of the of the of the leader of hamas. and and another one that has to be mentioned is somebody from khan younis . we have all the all the

younis. we have all the all the names, you know, of khalid mashaal, ismail haniya, these are from the political wing. and the guys from the operational one, muhammad dev and mannan issa and all the others . and as issa and all the others. and as a matter of fact, there are operating in two, you know, different point, i would say sections . but at the same time, sections. but at the same time, we are speaking about one organisation, political operational. but in one organisation and now i would like to tell you in this respect that, you know, hamas is inciting all the time against israel. you know, in the ideology of hamas, you cannot find the word israel. there is no israel. we are from the hamas side. al yahudi, the jewish entity or al zayani , the zionist entity or al zayani, the zionist entity. they are calling explicitly, you know, very directly to the extermination of the jewish state. they are

speaking it, you know, loudly, no , there is no, you know, no, there is no, you know, question as regards to the aspiration and the ideology of hamas vis a vis the state of israel. so this is something that. yes, so is it is it the fact that they are not after a two state solution at all and they're just simply want a one state? >> so it is a two state solution possible then with that ideology? yeah >> no, not at all. not at all. i'm happy that you are asking me this question. there is no whatsoever any common ground for any negotiations, for any settlement between israel and hamas. hamas is totally a terroristic organisation . ocean, terroristic organisation. ocean, as i've told you before , for as i've told you before, for calling for the extermination , calling for the extermination, even for one year, for the annihilation of the jewish state of the israeli state. and, you know, you speak with me, i know in person all the leaders of hamas, no common ground. listen they are against any

negotiations . they are against negotiations. they are against any , i would say, getting any, i would say, getting accepting the very existence of israel as a jewish state. they are against any you know, all the all the accords that were were signed between israel and the plo during the oslo process. they are totally against they are calling explicitly , are calling explicitly, publicly, you know , with no publicly, you know, with no hesitation to the extermination of israel as a jewish state and the establishment of palestinian islamic state as the first phase. and later on revival of the islamic empire, the islamic caliphate as it was after the time of the prophet muhammad. this is very much in a short and clear way. no common ground. listen i know, you know, even the priest, the islamic priest that was behind the establishing of hamas, his name is sheikh ahmed yassin. he established

hamas, a four, five days after the beginning of the eruption of the beginning of the eruption of the first intifada, the first intifada was erupted at december 9th, 1987, five days later, 14 of december 1987. hamas was established and, you know, from the beginning , like a year after the beginning, like a year after the beginning, like a year after the establishment of hamas, they began with terrorist, terrorist or terror , you know, operations or terror, you know, operations against the state of israel, kidnapping soldiers , kidnapping, kidnapping soldiers, kidnapping, you know, and killing them. and they are doing it in the most brutal way . i they are doing it in the most brutal way. i must they are doing it in the most brutal way . i must tell you, if brutal way. i must tell you, if i can add one thing more, if you would, you know, i must i must tell you that the what we have seen two weeks ago, you know, in shabbat in saturday, inside the area, very close, very adjacent neighbouring the gaza the gaza strip was like like a barbaric way of killing people, raping , way of killing people, raping, etcetera, etcetera. you know, people in israel were a little

bit surprised and i was not surprised with what i've seen. you know, i know the nature, the barbaric nature of hamas and they are educating the young kids from three years old, four years old, to hate the jews, to kill the jews, to kill as many jews as as they can. and this is something that for many in israel were surprised. they say to this degree they are anti—israel , anti—jewish, anti—israel, anti—jewish, anti—semitic, etcetera , anti—semitic, etcetera, etcetera. and i was not surprised at all because i know the nature. i know the ideology. i know the positions. and this is something that we have to take. of course, into serious consideration . consideration. >> ian, david, thank you very much for talking to me. we could talk to you for ages and we'll have to get you on and talk again. thank you so much, sir. david hacham. all right. well, let's a quick chat to our let's have a quick chat to our political correspondent, olivia utley, the utley, who reported on the pro—palestinian utley, who reported on the pro—palesandin trafalgar yesterday and is at trafalgar square the israel square ahead of the israel solidarity protest. now olivia,

how's the protest started ? no how's the protest started? no we're expecting to start in 45 minutes or so, but as you can probably see behind me, we are there is a build up of people. >> now, i've been chatting to people here who are grateful to us for covering this rally. it's getting a lot less attention than the palestinian march yesterday. i've also been noticing to talking people just how many people here are actually jewish. yesterday that the marchers were all races , all the marchers were all races, all creeds, all different demographics, all standing behind palestine. but interestingly, quite a lot of the jews i've spoken to today say that they feel it's only the jewish community who is now standing for jews jewish community who is now standing forjews in the uk standing up for jews in the uk and in gaza and israel as well, which is a pretty sad state of affairs. they are campaign running here for hamas to let go.the running here for hamas to let go. the 203 hostages who have been taken in gaza and israel, some of whom are babies older

people. >> there's a 90 year old among them to have been released to american—israeli hostages have american— israeli hostages have been american—israeli hostages have been released, but that's still 200 waiting in. >> who knows what conditions . >> who knows what conditions. >> who knows what conditions. >> listen, olivia, we will catch up with you throughout the show. thank you so much. that's olivia utley. she's there at the pro—israeli protests. thank you so right. is gb news. so much. right. this is gb news. 24 minutes after 3:00. fast 24 minutes after 3:00. as fast approaching, on tv approaching, we're live on tv onune approaching, we're live on tv online and on digital radio. coming up, faced with the tory rebellion over ban on no rebellion over the ban on no fault evictions, are the government to pursuing government right to be pursuing this up next, there this policy? but up next, there are rumours that this chancellor that chancellor could throw that his chancellor could throw in the towel before the next election. should the tories election. so should the tories get rid of rishi? we'll be debating that with stephen and

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930 . good afternoon. six till 930. good afternoon. >> coming up to 28 minutes after 3:00. now, earlier, i spoke to david hacham. he's a former idf colonel and advisor to ministers of defence for arab affairs on whether hamas, the state and hamas, the terrorist group, are two separate entities. let's get the thoughts of ben habib and also stephen pound. they're live now with me. i'm going to start with you actually, stephen pound. he i did ask because i wanted to know because people often the often say hamas, the organisation and hamas, the terrorist, not same terrorist, they're not the same thing. and sort of was kind thing. and he sort of was kind of one in the of saying they're one in the same. absolutely. same. well, absolutely. >> precisely. >> precisely. >> when we the >> and when we had the statements from the gaza health authority, well, the gaza health authority, well, the gaza health authoriil think nobody can really >> but i think nobody can really deny that anymore.

>> depressed me about this >> what depressed me about this more than anything is it's more than anything else is it's in it's easier sometimes in life. it's easier sometimes to scapegoat it is to find a scapegoat than it is to find a scapegoat than it is to a solution. and what's to find a solution. and what's happening as as people happening is as long as people concentrate their hatred of concentrate on their hatred of israel, hatred the israel, their hatred of the jews, they're actually ignoring the issues, potential the real issues, the potential for the money that could for gaza, the money that could come the arab states. >> imagine a tiny fraction of the wealth . the oil wealth. >> flowed into gaza, >> if that flowed into gaza, there would be no shortages of electricity or gas or water. >> yet , instead of which, >> and yet, instead of which, instead something instead of doing something for their people, they're concentrating on this hatred. >> depresses the hell >> and that depresses the hell out of me. >> well , i out of me. >> well, i completely out of me. >> well , i completely agree >> ben well, i completely agree with stephen. hamas is an outwardly declared terrorist organisation and we saw the manifestation of their terrorism on the 7th of october. they still holding 200 hostages. and i think what's very telling is that there are 23 arab countries , none of which are rushing to aid hamas. they all understand that hamas is a bad organisation . and remember, hamas , even with . and remember, hamas, even with all their promotion or ostensible promotion of islam ,

ostensible promotion of islam, and i think a lot of muslims would disagree with the way that hamas is going about making its case. obviously but even with all their ostensible promotion of islam, hamas is a sunni organisation and it is funded by a shia organisation, iran . iran a shia organisation, iran. iran is hamas's payment for hamas. iran's useful idiots. they are exposing the palestinian people to extreme hostile responses by their own actions and being and taking money from iran that is thatis taking money from iran that is that is almost verboten in the sunnl that is almost verboten in the sunni, in the sunni , you know, sunni, in the sunni, you know, in the sunni theology theology of islam. you can't do that. you know, you can't you can't be you can't be taking pay from from from shias. and so hamas is a deeply ideologically flawed entity . it is terroristic. it is entity. it is terroristic. it is flawed. it doesn't care about the people of palestine. it is

stopping them from moving to the south of gaza. it is exposing them wilfully to attacks in the north. it has got 200 hostages. if it wanted any sympathy with its 23 arab countries and the rest of the world, it would release those hostages. you don't need hostages if you're in a war. >> well, but even david there, who has spent decades with the idf, has said that the brutality that was given on the 7th of october, even he and the israelis were horrified by it, despite having been in a sort of conflict. oh, yeah. like this for a long time. he they were surprised by that level of brutality. no, no. >> you know, the bar of horror, it seems to be lowered every time. but the interesting thing is about why they've done why did iran and hamas take action now and i think the reality is if you actually have a look at the great peace movements in that, we got oslo, the great peace movements in that, david, we got oslo, the great peace movements in that, david, butne got oslo, the great peace movements in that, david, but thejot oslo, the great peace movements in that, david, but the abrahamic camp david, but the abrahamic awards recently, got awards recently, you've got saudi morocco, saudi arabia, morocco, many other countries are actually talking about normalising relations talking about normalising relethats anathema to hamas and

in the interest of full exposition of the word jihad before we just discuss this particular point , i want to say particular point, i want to say jihad in islam means a meritorious struggle in the pursuit of good. >> it's not even in the in the opposition of evil. so i just want to get that out there. but of course, it's the lesser form of course, it's the lesser form of jihad is of course, it's the lesser form ofjihad is an outwardly expression of that struggle rather than the inward one, which is a higher form of jihad . which is a higher form ofjihad. but the lesser form can and has been expressed in warfare and islam doesn't prohibit warfare . islam doesn't prohibit warfare. islam doesn't prohibit warfare. islam is prepared as a religion to go to war and that the way that the word jihad, i'm sure was being used yesterday was an incitement to violence and it was very clear from what was going on in those protests, including in, you know, large isis flags being swung from left to right and, you know, messages of death to the infidel being put out that the met simply were not doing their job. they watch

protesters climb scaffolding , protesters climb scaffolding, held their flags for them, and then gave them their flags. >> so it's just so embarrassing. >> so it's just so embarrassing. >> and the argument that they might make is they didn't want to make matters worse. but that is enforced . is effectively law enforced. isn't taking the knee to the breaking of the law. you know, that was an incitement to violence yesterday. and it has to be cracked down on. >> and i just will come back to your definition with regard to jihad, because i know it does have other meanings, but pretty much since the 20th century, the word actually has got that negative that's negative connotation. and that's because people like the mujahideen, the taliban, the northern they use it. northern alliance, they use it. they jihad as a way of, they all use jihad as a way of, you know, as a way of inciting warfare. >> well, in some ways, they use it as a similarly to the word crusade. >> mean, they do use it. but >> i mean, they do use it. but look, i have to say, looking at what i mean, look, i have to say, looking at whati mean, have look, i have to say, looking at what i mean, have simple look, i have to say, looking at whaiin mean, have simple look, i have to say, looking at whaiin life|n, have simple look, i have to say, looking at whaiin life aboutive simple look, i have to say, looking at whaiin life about publicimple look, i have to say, looking at whaiin life about public order. rule in life about public order. if the french do it one way, i'd want to do it the other way. and it's perfectly the french decided these decided to ban all these marches, these marches, all these demonstrations, all. and what

happened? number happened? doubled the number of people created people on the street. it created people on the street. it created people say and people who would then say and filled prisons. we don't filled the prisons. we don't have enough room in the prisons at present time. the police at the present time. the police did lift people did actually lift 11 people yesterday. actually yesterday. they did actually arrest public arrest them under the public order act. i think the police are actually being proportionate in find in this particular thing. i find it horrifically offensive. in this particular thing. i find it horrifi canr offensive. in this particular thing. i find it horrifi canr offlsayle. in this particular thing. i find it horrifi canr off(say that? let's >> how can you say that? let's just it under the backdrop just put it under the backdrop of what has happened and is of what has happened and what is happening. this happening. so we've had this awful hamas, who awful situation with hamas, who have 1400 people have murdered over 1400 people in now a full on in israel. now we have a full on war and people are coming out in the streets to call for jihad and also singing the chant from the river to the sea, i might add, which again another add, which again is another incitement kill and death. so incitement to kill and death. so come on. come on. >> come on. >> are you saying that we then lift 100,000 people and arrest 100,000 people? are you saying that? >> i'm not saying we arrest them. i'm saying that we need. what do we do? well, i think there needs to be something done, but i don't know. i think i think we should treat them with contempt say, with withering contempt and say, you're of student you're a bunch of student politicians at politics, politicians playing at politics, playing playing with playing with fire, playing with something about. >> absolutely nothing

about. >> the absolutely nothing about. >> the reality olutely nothing about. >> the reality ofltely nothing about. >> the reality of hamas. hing about. >> the reality of hamas. how about the reality of hamas. how dare you go on the streets with your pseudo—arabic costume on and worker banners and the socialist worker banners and the socialist worker banners and pretending, and the socialist worker banners and thatetending, and the socialist worker banners and that you ding, and the socialist worker banners and that you speak for pretending that you speak for the not the palestinians. you do not speak for palestinians. speak for the palestinians. treat absolute treat them with absolute ignorance as bevin used ignorance. as ernie bevin used to nothing to do to say, i'd have nothing to do with them. let them go with them. i'd just let them go away and play their stupid game. >> yeah, get it. and i. and >> yeah, i get it. and i. and i feel but the problem is, feel that. but the problem is, as we know, that heightens the terror threat when we enable as we know, that heightens the terror kind|t when we enable as we know, that heightens the terror kind ofvhen we enable as we know, that heightens the terror kind of processes.|able as we know, that heightens the terror kind of processes. and these kind of processes. and also, let's about the also, let's talk about the jewish this well. also, let's talk about the jewinot this well. also, let's talk about the jewinotjewish, this well. also, let's talk about the jewinot jewish, so 1is well. also, let's talk about the jewinot jewish, so is well. also, let's talk about the jewinot jewish, so i mean, all. also, let's talk about the jewinot jewish, so i mean, the i'm not jewish, so i mean, the last week there was one jewish person who was had to be protected 50 officers as protected by 50 officers as a load people a so—called load of people on a so—called peaceful. they said threatened to they to behead him. yes. as they threatened to behead him. so that's my point is this isn't peaceful, no, no. peaceful, is it? no, no, no, no. >> i'm not jewish. i cannot imagine it be like to imagine what it must be like to be a jewish a visibly identifying jewish person in london, united london, let alone the united kingdom. i speak that. kingdom. i can't speak for that. what speak is what i can speak for is a democrat a as a british democrat as a as a british citizen who's a democrat, who hates people getting the hates to see people getting the oxygen publicity oxygen of publicity for their stupidity their nonsense, stupidity and their nonsense, the they're

the ignorance that they're displaying streets. and displaying on the streets. and i think the police started think if the police started going in and arresting people, i mean, at publicity mean, look at the publicity that greta got week at parkland. >> but, steven, the police do pick and choose which demonstrations going to demonstrations they're going to allow they're allow and which ones they're going hammer. so, for going to really hammer. so, for example, we the same example, we saw the same behaviour with lives behaviour with black lives matter, which now matter, which was which we now know and hope people know to be and i hope people recognise to be overtly recognise to be an overtly political, anarchic organisation. it's a machine for few. >> well i knew that from the start to be honest with you. i don't know why. >> and the police literally took the knee to black lives matter and anyone who came make the knee to black lives matter andcompletelyo came make the knee to black lives matter andcompletely legitimate make the knee to black lives matter and completely legitimate andiake the completely legitimate and reasonable case that all lives matter were treated with contempt police , was contempt by the police, was treated by contempt. >> when all lives matter, >> when i said all lives matter, i said, you can't put up one life than another. life higher than another. >> history be >> i think history will be kinder to you than it will be to those virtue signalling plods. >> but let's >> well, we'll see. but let's let's on. great. to let's move on. great. great to have company home. have your company at home. please touch. gb views please get in touch. gb views gbnews.com. can tweet gbnews.com. you can also tweet us at news with your thoughts us at gb news with your thoughts on things we're discussing on the things we're discussing now. story that i now. this is a story that i

wanted cover in head to wanted to cover in the head to head debate as growing turmoil within tory party as reports within the tory party as reports suggest, up to 25 mps send suggest, up to 25 mps could send in confidence. in letters of no confidence. again the prime minister. again for the prime minister. rishi sunak. so i'm asking, should the conservatives ditch rishi sunak? let's get my thoughts from my panel. my head to head is stephen pound. well, again, again , you know what again, again, you know what happens when you're in a car accident and you end up in hospital and they say to you, you know, who is the prime minister? >> how on earth could you >> well, how on earth could you say nowadays? you said last week, look, it's week, next week. look, it's ridiculous. don't ridiculous. and we don't know who 25 people are. and if who these 25 people are. and if you're actually dump you're going to actually dump somebody, ask somebody, you've got to ask yourself the next question. if not him, who, who? and the point is, two there is, there's two strands. there are people still, are some people still, amazingly, who amazingly, you know, who actually truss could amazingly, you know, who actua|back truss could amazingly, you know, who actua|back and truss could amazingly, you know, who actua|back and save ss could amazingly, you know, who actua|back and save the ould amazingly, you know, who actua|back and save the nation. come back and save the nation. >> there people who >> well, there are people who believe boris should believe that boris should still believe that boris should still be i actually believe be there. and i actually believe that of the end that the beginning of the end was they got rid of boris. was when they got rid of boris. that the chain of events that was the chain of events that we can argue that at a different time. >> but look, the reality is divided parties don't win elections. moment,

elections. and at the moment, the that tories are the image that the tories are giving one absolute giving is one of absolute utter division of mutual division and sort of mutual loathing. the minute they loathing. and the minute they start these about start playing these games about putting letters to the putting in the 25 letters to the 1922 committee, all it does in the labour party, you the labour party, believe you me, back, rubbing me, we're sitting back, rubbing our saying don't our hands and saying we don't have anything, just have to do anything, just destroy yourselves. >> haven't do >> you haven't had to do anything all, to be fair. anything at all, to be fair. >> well, mean, agree that >> well, i mean, i agree that divided don't win divided parties don't win elections. conservative elections. the conservative party is deeply divided party. elections. the conservative paripart deeply divided party. elections. the conservative paripart oereply divided party. elections. the conservative paripart of the ly divided party. elections. the conservative paripart of the problem:i party. elections. the conservative paripart of the problem thatty. it's part of the problem that was created david cameron in was created by david cameron in order become to order to become the heir to blair, he adopted this kind of one tory toryism, one nation, tory toryism, which doesn't mean the promotion of working class interests as it used traditionally mean. working class interests as it used thataditionally mean. working class interests as it used that meansilly mean. working class interests as it used that means as mean. working class interests as it used that means as far mean. working class interests as it used that means as far as mean. working class interests as it used that means as far as the an. what that means as far as the conservative party is concerned, trying all trying to be all things to all people. pivoted people. and they've pivoted increasingly left to try increasingly to the left to try and labour out from and block labour out from winning they've winning elections and they've become a very become had become a very successful election. winning machine. but that road has ended because they've been utterly hopeless at governance . we've hopeless at governance. we've got broken economy broken got a broken economy broken pubuc got a broken economy broken public services, multiculturalism , culturalism multiculturalism, culturalism which he can't which isn't working, he can't stop the boats. they cannot govern. so rishi sunak has three

choices. as far as i can see it. he either resigns and makes way for a genuinely centre right conservative leader who will champion the most common sensical policies that will propel the united kingdom fonnard. maybe any well suella braverman comes to mind who will stop the boats ? understand that stop the boats? understand that it's a physical response to stop the boats, cut legal migration dramatically cut taxes on the working and middle classes and businesses so we can actually flourish. and before someone looks at the screen and says, well , we haven't got the well, we haven't got the headroom to cut taxes, the obr, the office for budget responsibility, has ripped heatedly overestimated the government government borrowing requirement. would have been requirement. we would have been able to cut taxes under liz truss's scheme easily . liz truss's scheme easily. liz truss's scheme easily. liz truss's tax cuts were easily affordable by the government borrowing levels for the government have come in markedly below that. so cut taxes for the working middle classes and businesses and for god's sake, bnng businesses and for god's sake, bring northern ireland back into the united kingdom.

>> well the big deal was the business tax needs to be cut. >> business absolutely. these 4 or 5 things that i've espoused , or 5 things that i've espoused, rishi sunak can either do them or he can face electoral obliteration. >> well, it's like the renters reform bill, which is just an abhorrent idea. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> i haven't. you haven't you noficed >> i haven't. you haven't you noticed that, penny mordaunt has now spoken to nearly 40 conservative association ers in the last nine months, so she's on manoeuvres . there are people on manoeuvres. there are people on manoeuvres. there are people on manoeuvres. the question i would ask you is if not sunak, who you say braverman. i don't think actually. think braverman has actually. >> well, they haven't got time. they haven't got time. need they haven't got time. they need to with what have. to stick with what they have. the election need to get the next election need to get the very latest. >> it's january year, next >> it's january a year, next january the very, very late. january at the very, very late. >> rishi sunak got to stop >> rishi sunak has got to stop thinking to thinking that he's going to solve the nation's problems through to the of solve the nation's problems thrandi to the of solve the nation's problems thrand understand to the of solve the nation's problems thrand understand there's of solve the nation's problems thrand understand there's really: 18 and understand there's really fundamental issues he needs to get on. he's still got get a grip on. he's still got a majority command. your majority in deliver in parliament and deliver what the this country want, the people of this country want, not or people in not what the g7 or people in davos want, what people in davos want, what the people in this want and need and

this country want and need and do it now. well perhaps on this next government next on that, the government is reportedly avoid reportedly seeking to avoid a revolt over renters reform revolt over its renters reform bill, as tory rebels call the policy to ban fault evictions. >> unconcerned lviv, the bill would renters would give renters greater protections landlords protections and stop landlords kicking without kicking tenants out without giving explicit reason. but giving any explicit reason. but this proposal has angered many tory mps who view it as an anti landlord policy. so should no fault evictions be banned? what do you think? ben habib absolutely. >> you should. the landlord should them. no, no, no , the should them. no, no, no, the landlords. i've got to get the right number of no's in the right number of no's in the right order, you know the right number of no's. othennise you end up with a positive no landlord should be prohibited from contractually taking control of his own property . it control of his own property. it is a complete fallacy to think that if you prevent landlords from being able to eject tenants at the end of their tenancy just because they haven't broken any of your provisions in the lease while they were tenants that you're going to somehow improve the market. what you want is to

encourage landlords to come into the market, own property and lease it. that way. you get a much more vibrant leasing market out. any restrictions that make it life difficult for landlords is going to restrict the supply of property, which is going to push rents up. it is short term politics. it's not thought through. we had regulated rents after world war ii. they were they were got rid of for a reason because they don't work. >> they don't work now, especially with rising interest rates. >> but i think landlords actually need to actually look at their image. they have this image being like simon legree image of being like simon legree figures widows and figures whipping the widows and the into the snow. the orphans out into the snow. so i was a housing officer for years and years and years and assured tenancy, which years and years and years and assuretenancy tenancy, which years and years and years and assuretenancy that'enancy, which years and years and years and assuretenancy that most:y, which is the tenancy that most landlords means assured landlords use, means an assured shorthold don't shorthold tenancy and you don't turn midnight and say turn up at midnight and say you're you have to issue you're out. you have to issue a nofice you're out. you have to issue a notice of seeking possession. you then go court. you then have to go to court. i mean, i used to take these cases to court over and over again as far as i'm concerned, one of the tenants protection already. tenants have protection already. well, protection well, the protection is already existing. think populist

existing. i think it's populist nonsense to actually suggest you can we all know that can do this. we all know that rent controls don't work. look at absolutely killed at berlin. it absolutely killed the there. think the rental market there. i think we actually realise that we need to actually realise that the market is very, very the rental market is very, very important and not all landlords are satanic blood drinking so—and—so. are satanic blood drinking so—and-majority of lenders, that the majority of lenders, i think it's over 80% of them are single owning. >> so they have only one property are just property and they are just people become people who've maybe become accidental landlords, but it's usually mothers their usually their mothers or their fathers that they've fathers property that they've inherited, or they've met somebody they've inherited, or they've met somebonto they've inherited, or they've met somebonto in they've inherited, or they've met somebonto in with"ve inherited, or they've met somebonto in with that decided to move in with that house then they a house and then they have a house. so that is usually how most landlords are, and they're mostly there's a mostly normal people. there's a very of very small percentage of landlords hundreds of landlords who own hundreds of properties a lot of those properties and a lot of those ones, of are bad. yes. >> well, the liverpool say we all a robbie fowler all live in a robbie fowler house. i mean, robbie fowler, there are a lot of tenants who house. i mean, robbie fowler, theibad.e a lot of tenants who are bad. >> yeah, well, i've had the experience bad experience of some very bad tenancy. experience of some very bad tenancy remember, assured >> just remember, assured shorthold tenancy. that's what it is. it's brilliant contract. >> what's brilliant >> so what's a brilliant contract? >> so what's a brilliant contra(what's the point? because >> so what's the point? because they're going to rid of they're going to get rid of section where you can issue section 21 where you can issue that fault eviction, which is that no fault eviction, which is what be able to do

what you should be able to do because you might need the property, just because you property, not just because you have that you're have to prove that you're selling it. >> at moment can >> no. at the moment you can determine by going determine a section 21 by going to any crown court and just simply giving notice of it. simply giving the notice of it. so actually gives so that actually gives the tenant and some tenant some time and some notice. behind notice. exactly what's behind all shortage of all this is the shortage of affordable housing. that's what all this is the shortage of amean. le housing. that's what all this is the shortage of amean. i'veousing. that's what all this is the shortage of amean. i've been]. that's what all this is the shortage of amean. i've been inthat's what all this is the shortage of amean. i've been in ealingvhat all this is the shortage of amean. i've been in ealing this i mean. i've been in ealing this morning actually looking at some 200 affordable homes 200 new affordable homes that we've built with the private sector in ealing. we've got a massive shortage of housing and the is when get the problem is when you get that, start looking the that, you start looking at the other at the other end. you look at the landlord, letting we landlord, the letting end. we should at should actually be looking at the not supply demand. >> absolutely critical. we've got supply. got to get supply. >> carry on agreeing. >> we cannot carry on agreeing. >> we cannot carry on agreeing. >> well, okay, this unacceptable. >> take it anymore. >> i can't take it anymore. maybe they'll disagree maybe this one they'll disagree with. okay. so final, final one to could give us to them. could labour give us a tax cuts? the tories won't a new poll shows that brits view labour of a champion of labour as more of a champion of lower the lower taxes than the conservatives, because conservatives, probably because they any higher. they can't get any higher. the survey almost survey also found that almost 60% reduced, so 60% want the burden reduced, so what think? should we what do you think? should we will pay less under labour? will we pay less under labour? stephen pound probably not, because i'm not entirely sure where this comes from. >> there's nobody in the

>> i mean there's nobody in the labour who's actually labour party who's actually talking the tories talking about this. the tories were talking last week about reducing higher reducing taxes for higher earners, mean earners, which is, i mean talk about own unbeliev able. >> unbelievable. >> unbelievable. >> when i read that in the financial i could financial times, i could hardly believe reading. but believe what i was reading. but look, i think anybody is look, i don't think anybody is suggesting that. >> well, maybe that >> well, maybe they know that the them. so the it's over for them. so they're putting they're just like putting things in help. they're just like putting things in it's help. they're just like putting things in it's a help. they're just like putting things in it's a bit1elp. they're just like putting things in it's a bit like corbyn in >> it's a bit like corbyn in 2019 he free broadband 2019 when he said free broadband for oh god. a for everybody. oh god. there's a certain of that. look certain element of that. look the the the reality is the infrastructure, national infrastructure, the national infrastructure, the national infra the :ture infrastructure, the national infra the worst state it's ever is in the worst state it's ever been. you know, our schools are collapsing, our prisons are been. you know, our schools are collathe g, our prisons are been. you know, our schools are collathe transportsons are been. you know, our schools are colla the transport systems full. the transport system isn't working. cutting tax full. the transport system isn't w0|the;. cutting tax full. the transport system isn't w0|the upper cutting tax full. the transport system isn't w0|the upper you cutting tax full. the transport system isn't w0|the upper you know, ting tax full. the transport system isn't w0|the upper you know, the tax for the upper you know, the upper wealthier upper echelons, the wealthier people insane. people is for it's insane. i don't it. so the fact don't understand it. so the fact that people are that the that people are saying that the labour might cut taxes, labour party might cut taxes, i think is actually more think that is actually more about stand about their horror as they stand back conservative party back from the conservative party rather brilliant rather than anything brilliant that done. that labour has done. >> parties should >> well. both parties should absolutely taxes absolutely be cutting tax taxes at war two high. at a post—world war two high. we've the model of we've tried the model of taxation, borrowing and spending away the economy away to managing the economy and it sector, it hasn't worked. public sector, as rightly said, as you've just rightly said, stephen, is broken right across the so government the board. so government managing things this hugely

managing things, this hugely interventionist approach we've had from governments since had from governments ever since tony took office is wrong . tony blair took office is wrong. it doesn't we've got to it doesn't work. we've got to cut taxes. and what the government needs to learn and the labour party needs to learn is that you don't cut taxes always looking at how you balance the books . you have to balance the books. you have to understand that when you cut taxes, you will generate growth and when you generate growth, you will get more money coming into the exchequer for they have to cut taxes as you rightly said, nana on businesses, it's critical and it's not the rich that need the tax cuts. it's the working and middle classes. we need to get our domestic labour market a bit more active. >> i just can't imagine what they were thinking. i mean, you know, because most i'm probably a conservative voter. if a natural conservative voter. if i was going vote for someone, i was going to vote for someone, but can't for that . i was going to vote for someone, but can't for that. no, but i can't vote for that. no, you because it doesn't you can't because it doesn't make would make any sense. why would you why you cut tax for the why would you cut tax for the top earners when it's the middle class who tax cuts class who need the tax cuts because have the highest because they have the highest burden ? burden? >> absolutely. if you want >> absolutely. but if you want change, sensible

change, if you want sensible politics, longer politics, you cannot any longer vote for the conservatives or laboun vote for the conservatives or labour. there's only party labour. there's only one party you vote for . labour. there's only one party you vote for. no. no. you should vote for. no. no. who's that? reform uk will not be a party. >> political broadcast. >> political broadcast. >> has been a you cannot do >> this has been a you cannot do party election broadcasts. >> but there's no election going on. election going on. there's no election going on. there's no election going on. no election. no, no, >> no election. but no, no, listen. mean, look. i mean, listen. i mean, look. i mean, who you guys who do you guys think? >> listen, you've done very well in elections. in two by elections. >> rest on your >> well, you rest on your laurels. but but look, laurels. yeah, but but look, i mean, to be mean, look, we're going to be talking throughout talking about this throughout the stay with me. the show as well. stay with me. this is gb news on tv, online and digital radio. you and on digital radio. you can keep coming keep your thoughts coming as well. hear what you well. i'd love to hear what you think. got loads on the way think. i've got loads on the way in houn think. i've got loads on the way in hour, we'll be in the next hour, we'll be talking great british talking about the great british debate. asking if the debate. i'll be asking if the bbc have been prejudiced in their the hamas their reporting of the hamas conflict . what do you their reporting of the hamas conflict. what do you think? their reporting of the hamas conflict . what do you think? get conflict. what do you think? get in know, the cube. in touch. you know, the cube. plus, i've got a fabulous miss mary guest for you in my outside part programme, is part of the programme, which is just and joining me just after 5:00. and joining me for the main debates, of course, with fabulous kelly with the fabulous danny kelly and the brilliant matthew there on the way. stay tuned. this is

meanings. but since the late 20th century, the word has gained a very negative reputation , often being used by reputation, often being used by terrorist movements to legitimise their cause and motivate their followers . motivate their followers. examples of this would be the afghan mujahideen , the taliban afghan mujahideen, the taliban and the northern alliance . they and the northern alliance. they waged a jihad in afghanistan against foreign forces and each other . there was algeria's armed other. there was algeria's armed islamic group who waged a jihad of terror against the government there. remember, osama bin laden and al—qaeda and the waging of global jihad against muslim governments and the west and of course, hezbollah , hamas and course, hezbollah, hamas and islamic jihad palestine have also characterised war with israel as a jihad . the policing israel as a jihad. the policing of language also doesn't appear to stretch as far as chanting from the river to the sea, palestine will be free, which, according to the american jewish committee, is a common call to arms for pro—police opinion activists it calls for the establishment of a state of

palestine from the jordan river to the mediterranean sea. erase the state of israel and its people . it's also a rallying cry people. it's also a rallying cry for terrorist groups and their sympathisers from the popular front for the liberation of palestine to hamas , which called palestine to hamas, which called for israel's destruction in its original governing charter in 1988 and was responsible for the terror attack on israel and israeli civilians on the 7th of october, which was the single deadliest day for jews since the holocaust . so you'd deadliest day for jews since the holocaust. so you'd think deadliest day for jews since the holocaust . so you'd think that holocaust. so you'd think that when protesters chant from the to river the sea and call for jihad in support of the people of palestine, who, let's face it, are run by hamas , who are it, are run by hamas, who are a de facto governing body and a proscribed terrorist organisation. the latter, the bbc, has thus far refused to directly call them . you'd think directly call them. you'd think that this would be a red flag. why on earth are people allowed to call for jihad why on earth are people allowed to call forjihad in the why on earth are people allowed to call for jihad in the streets of the uk ? of the uk? >> it's very important to me and the home secretary that people who spread hate or support

proscribed terrorist organisations like hamas have no place in this country . a visa is place in this country. a visa is a special privilege. it's not an entitled agent. and if you commit comments that create hate or spread anti—semitism, then you forfeit that privilege and you forfeit that privilege and you should have that visa revoked and you should be expelled from the uk. well that was robert jenrick. >> my words have power for as suella braverman was reminded when she rightly called the invasion of the southern coast invasion of the southern coast in country just that. in this country just that. i mean, she's right, by the way. yet ironically in this country we have a civil service that spends a fortune on policing of language and diversity and inclusion in only the other day we heard labour would make misgendering a hate crime, even though their leader took two years to confirm what a woman is. we have a force in is. we have a police force in which not long ago which some were not long ago wearing laces , driving wearing rainbow laces, driving rainbow taking knee rainbow cars and taking the knee , yet chanting the river to , yet chanting from the river to the sea and calling for jihad

seems to be okay, according to them , the same police that them, the same police that showed force when someone showed up in force when someone tweeted bad and tweeted something bad and created hurty feelings earlier on gb news, the former head of the palestinian diplomatic mission to the uk, manuel hassan , told us that he still believes in a two state solution . in a two state solution. >> don't try to put us all in a frame that we are terrorists as palestinians . there is palestinians. there is a difference between the palestinian people who want peace and security and there is a difference between the palestinian authority, which is the legitimate , legitimate the legitimate, legitimate representative of the palestinian people who believe in a two state solution, who have condemned violence all along. the question is, can israel stop state terrorism on equal basis ? that's the question i >> now, i get that we have freedom of speech in this country, but in my view , i draw country, but in my view, i draw the line when you're calling for what many interpret as death to innocent people, i want to see peace and forgiveness from both

sides . no life is above sides. no life is above another's . so i'm equally sad another's. so i'm equally sad for the death of innocent palestinians. but whilst you are free to speak in this country , free to speak in this country, words have consequences and it's time to stop conflating freedom of speech with the freedom of consequence . as for words . consequence. as for those words. so before we get stuck into the debate, here's what else is coming up today for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking had the bbc been prejudiced report of prejudiced in their report of the hamas conflict? a former director of the corporation has accused broadcaster of accused the broadcaster of failures its reporting of failures over its reporting of the israel hamas war, saying that they rushed to judgement last week when it announced that israel responsible for the israel was responsible for the bombing of a hospital . do you bombing of a hospital. do you agree that the bbc have been biased their reporting ? then biased in their reporting? then at 450 it's time for worldview we'll cross to los angeles with paul duddridge to get the latest on the build up to a us election where donald trump is leading in on the build up to a us election whepollsnald trump is leading in on the build up to a us election whepolls overtrump is leading in on the build up to a us election whepolls over joenp is leading in on the build up to a us election whepolls over joe biden.>ading in on the build up to a us election whe polls over joe biden. even; in the polls over joe biden. even among find

>> look i think that >> absolutely. look i think that the protests been the protests have been a disaster, from a policing disaster, both from a policing point view, also the point of view, but also from the point of view, but also from the point of view, but also from the point of the protesters point of view of the protesters themselves, they haven't themselves, because they haven't been focussed what they're been focussed in what they're saying. >> gained wider >> they haven't gained wider pubuc >> they haven't gained wider public support. >> frankly, they've done exactly the reverse. i think they've put a people's up a lot of people's backs up because, everybody because, of course not everybody there that that there was singing that that particularly hateful song, but some were. that's some people were. and that's what the protests, what happens with the protests, is gets tarred is that everybody gets tarred with the same brush. and i think the difference two the difference in the two protests we've seen is that protests that we've seen is that the one today is very clear. it's calling for the return of the hostages. now, if the people who themselves as being who see themselves as being on the worrying about the sort of worrying about palestine particular, palestine in particular, they should clear . they should be absolutely clear. they should be absolutely clear. they should they were making a should be if they were making a clear you clear demand, which is, you know, in or know, let water in now or let switch the electricity back on or get hamas out and get everybody out and give the people of gaza a future , then people of gaza a future, then that would be engaging a wider public. instead, it's just become a sort of fest where people are just sort of shouting random and random slogans at best and singing that song at singing that hateful song at

worst. police are just worst. and the police are just standing saw this standing by. and we saw this week didn't we? the it's very much the images that we're seeing the protest, the seeing at the protest, the pictures people who are being pictures of people who are being held the held hostage. the guy with the ad went round in ad van that went round in central london, the police, he was attacked or certainly was being attacked or certainly pressured on the other pressured by people on the other side of the argument. and instead of being sort of protected, police told him instead of being sort of pr(turn ed, police told him instead of being sort of pr(turn the police told him instead of being sort of pr(turn the van)olice told him instead of being sort of pr(turn the van off. e told him instead of being sort of pr(turn the van off. yould him instead of being sort of pr(turn the van off. you know, to turn the van off. you know, turn pictures of the turn off the pictures of the missing and get out of there and wouldn't let somebody from his organisation come and speak to him. so i do not think the police are covering themselves in looks the in glory. it looks like the government trying a government is trying to get a grip this, but frankly they grip on this, but frankly they need get grip need to get a grip fast. >> old bill, the >> danny kelly the old bill, the metropolitan i think metropolitan police, i think they if they did and if they were if they did and if they were if they did and if they didn't because there's a serious of a potential serious risk of a of a potential violent disturbance of peace violent disturbance of the peace . you know, if the old bill start lifting people just because chanting and because they're chanting and i've got to admit, until your monologue, really monologue, i never really analysed what those words meant. and i'm wondering that if i wasn't really across what the words meant and the significance of it's and it's open to

of it and it's and it's open to interpretation, you're subjective interpretation suggests from one side of suggests that from one side of the country to the mediterranean sea, israel is sea, which means that israel is removed, people may not removed, other people may not have that same interpretation. so people would so i think people would innocently some people just be singing because they're singing it because they're getting along and they're getting involved with the protest. know the interpreter. >> yeah, but you wouldn't just join old chant of any join into any old chant of any old thing? join into any old chant of any old thir but i join into any old chant of any old thirbut i think join into any old chant of any old thir but i think that you have >> no, but i think that you have a interpretation of a subjective interpretation of what means people may what it means other people may not includes the not hold. that includes the plot, the metropolitan i >> no, but i would say that if thatis >> no, but i would say that if that is the case, the metropolit and police get on the and police should get on the case understand is case and understand what it is they're it is they're protesting or what it is they're protesting or what it is they're to a demonstration they're going to a demonstration with regard for. i'm with regard for. but i'm assuming and expect assuming that and i would expect that briefed on that they would be briefed on what is about. and what the protest is about. and they be as to what they will be told as to what they will be told as to what they be looking out for they need to be looking out for so that they unified in so that they are unified in their and in my view, so that they are unified in theirchant and in my view, so that they are unified in theirchant has and in my view, so that they are unified in theirchant has been in my view, so that they are unified in theirchant has been associated, that chant has been associated with negative connotations as well as the word jihad. and after the incidents that have happened the on the 7th of happened on the on the 7th of october, and of course the ensuing that that has that ensuing war that that has that

has followed, that cannot be allowed on the streets of this country. i just you know, it's not that i'm against freedom of speech, but i think we have to draw the when it draw the line when it potentially sectarian potentially there is sectarian chants every scottish chants at every scottish football chants at every scottish foorangers and celtic . now the >> rangers and celtic. now the alternative, to alternative, we're going to apply rationale then if apply the same rationale then if we're going to start lifting people in london for singing that song, then the scottish police are going to have to start going in mob handed and pulling football because pulling out football because they and pass and they did try and pass a law and that and it was not that and realised it was not going in scotland. going to work in scotland. >> no war >> but there's no there's no war though there, between celtic though is there, between celtic and no and rangers. no. no >> inciting violence >> but it's inciting violence towards a religion think >> but it's inciting violence towardrwhich gion think >> but it's inciting violence towardrwhich is an think >> but it's inciting violence towardrwhich is not think >> but it's inciting violence towardrwhich is not t00|k dissimilar. >> well yeah but but under the backdrop of what happening, >> well yeah but but under the backdthat)f what happening, >> well yeah but but under the backdthat thehat happening, >> well yeah but but under the backdthat the police1appening, >> well yeah but but under the backdthat the police have ning, >> well yeah but but under the backdthat the police have t0|g, think that the police have to put context of put things into context of what's with respect to what's going on with respect to that. just in view that is that. so just in my view that is not really if i was making a judgement call, i wouldn't want that. because there is judgement call, i wouldn't want thaipotential because there is judgement call, i wouldn't want thaipotential forecause there is judgement call, i wouldn't want thaipotential forecausincreases the potential for it to increase the potential for it to increase the terrorist well. so the terrorist risk as well. so we you know, remember a lot we are, you know, remember a lot of calling of these people who are calling for kind of people, for jihad, those kind of people, there's a of wolves and there's a lot of lone wolves and it encourage and make this

it could encourage and make this country place country a less safer place to be. >> if were a gold commander >> if you were a gold commander on notice, didn't say on the day notice, i didn't say bronze or silver. if you were gold. >> absolutely platinum, darling. >> absolutely platinum, darling. >> that's with the police. >> no, that's with the police. >> no, that's with the police. >> it's gold. it's only gold. >> no, that's with the police. >> it'would. it's only gold. >> no, that's with the police. >> it'would you only gold. >> no, that's with the police. >> it'would you have gold. >> no, that's with the police. >> it'would you have done? would what would you have done? would you have ordered your your police lifting police to go and start lifting people that? people for that? >> what i would >> i don't know what i would have with regard to that. have done with regard to that. i'm think that i'm tempted to think that i might the way of might have gone the way of france that this france and made sure that this sort couldn't happen. sort of thing couldn't happen. but know, you have but then, you know, you have to realise we are a free it's realise that we are a free it's freedom speech and i think freedom of speech and i think people to people should be allowed to protest ever. i do think protest as ever. but i do think that the line we have to draw the line think perhaps the the line and i think perhaps the police have taken some police could have taken out some of were doing of those people who were doing that know, body that or, you know, using body cam people later cam to identify people and later contact them later and fined them something. so there them or something. so there should punishment should be a punishment for later, lot later, you know, because a lot of these they work. of these people, they work. they've good most of they've got good jobs. most of them people. but if you them are good people. but if you get caught under the of get caught under the wind of somethingchanting negative get caught under the wind of sometiand hanting negative get caught under the wind of sometiand absolutelyjative get caught under the wind of sometiand absolutely all/e get caught under the wind of sometiand absolutely all the things and absolutely all the most things and absolutely all the mo i. things and absolutely all the mo i don't particularly like >> i don't particularly like demos. be the left, but demos. i may be on the left, but ispend demos. i may be on the left, but i spend not going on i spend my life not going on demos, assume

demos, which people assume people on the left do. and the most demos those most effective demos are those which in the widest which which draw in the widest support, aren't just sort which which draw in the widest su talking aren't just sort which which draw in the widest su talking to aren't just sort which which draw in the widest su talking to you'en't just sort which which draw in the widest su talking to you in 't just sort which which draw in the widest su talking to you in the st sort which which draw in the widest su talking to you in the bubble of talking to you in the bubble of talking to you in the bubble of but are of your own supporters, but are drawing people to your drawing in new people to your cause. you just cause. and frankly, you just want to say to, you know, whatever cause you know, whatever your cause you know, building stage on building a ramshackle stage on the cenotaph is not going to get the cenotaph is not going to get the public of any the great british public of any background in favour of you. so you know, you're right you know, i think you're right that to be a firmer that there needs to be a firmer policing, also people policing, but also the people who are organising these demonstrations who are organising these demorwhat ons who are organising these demorwhat onit actually doing about what is it actually doing for the cause that they're trying to promote. >> just finally for me, >> just just finally for me, robert a subtle robert jenrick, there's a subtle message a message here. he's going in a new that you're to new direction that if you're to new direction that if you're to new and you start new this country and you start protesting against values that are western values, then are decent western values, then you're welcome. and that's you're not welcome. and that's an interesting new he's the immigration minister. interesting. >> right . i interesting. >> right. i think >> i think he's right. i think he's right with regard that. he's right with regard to that. if you're going to you know, it's come here. it's fine to come here. i believe, when rome, as the believe, when in rome, do as the romans. so i think, know, romans. so i think, you know, but don't and but but don't don't come in and then behave in a such then sort of behave in a such a negative fashion and sort of diss that you're diss the place that you're staying. it's an staying. you know, it's an interesting poop on your own. >> don't get me started on the

channel. i'm nana akua. and it's time now for the great british debate. this i've been asking had the bbc been prejudiced in their reporting of the hamas conflict? the broadcaster has faced criticism their faced criticism for their coverage of the ongoing conflict between israel and and between israel and hamas, and director general tim davies set to face a major probe from tory mps in the coming days. senior sources have told gb news that the bbc boss will be questioned over the refusal to describe hamas as a terrorist organisation . and earlier this organisation. and earlier this week, israel accused the bbc of perpetuating modern blood libel over their reporting of the strike on the hospital in gaza. the corporation has admitted that their reporter was wrong to speculate as to which side had struck the hospital or whether it had struck the hospital at all. so if the great british debate this are i'm asking, have the bbc been prejudiced in their reporting the hamas reporting for the hamas conflict? me to conflict? now joining me to discuss pound, former discuss is stephen pound, former labour mp ben habib, labour party mp ben habib, deputy reform uk, and deputy leader of reform uk, and neil former conservative neil parish, former conservative mp. i'm going to start with you,

neil parish . neil, hello. yes, neil parish. neil, hello. yes, we're still looking at you. yes yeah, go for it. yes what's your thoughts ? thoughts? >> my thoughts are that that it's right that the bbc cover both sides you know naturally israel and palestinian hamas. but what i've heard especially on sometimes on radio four is that i rather feel that when the palestinians, hamas spokesman is on, they're not challenged enough really on why israel is taking this action. you know . taking this action. you know. >> oh, oh, i wanted to hear that as well. we've lost him. you've frozen in time. we'll come back to you . it's an interesting to you. it's an interesting shot. he's frozen. he's gone. we'll try and pick him up. we'll try and him back on. but i'm try and get him back on. but i'm going stephen pound, going to go to stephen pound, then pound, kind then stephen pound, it's kind of reminds time in reminds me of in my time in northern ireland when the bbc would refer derry stroke would refer to derry stroke londonderry to try to avoid giving anybody. >> look, the tying itself >> look, the bbc is tying itself in knots and the reason they are desperate, making themselves, frankly rather foolish desperate, making themselves, fra this rather foolish desperate, making themselves, fra this is rather foolish desperate, making themselves, fra this is because her foolish desperate, making themselves, fra this is because her f( no sh

on this is because they no longer exclusive rights to longer have exclusive rights to the national broadcasting platform. longer the platform. they are no longer the only town and i don't only game in town and i don't think we have to look too far around the around us today to see the alternative broadcasting medium that exists. so they're desperately to somehow desperately trying to somehow avoid giving offence to anybody. and by doing so they give offence to a lot of people, which sad . which is it's quite sad. >> ben habib, what are your thoughts? >> well, i mean, i think the bbc have taken an unbelievably oversimplistic to the have taken an unbelievably oversirdebate. to the have taken an unbelievably oversirdebate. you to the have taken an unbelievably oversirdebate. you knowto the have taken an unbelievably oversirdebate. you know , they've whole debate. you know, they've painted this as the palestinians versus the state of israel, but it isn't . of course, this is it isn't. of course, this is hamas acting as a terrorist organisation attacking israel. there's a perfectly sensible other part of the palestinian authority ization. you know, fatah, which operates in the west bank, that was effective in conflict with hamas and they've made their peace with israel . made their peace with israel. this is and the other thing that i feel the bbc has entirely missed out on and indeed most mainstream media has failed to pick up on, is that hamas are acting as iran's useful idiots and they've been put into bat in

order to undermine the impending imminent recognition of israel by saudi arabia. in return for which saudi was going to get nuclear technology from the united states of america. this is so obviously an attempt by iran to set the saudi relationship with the us and with israel back. lots of arab nations, the uae, for example , nations, the uae, for example, egypt, for example, have accepted the existence of the state of israel and they've done very well on the back of it. and it's iran that was standing in the way. >> just come back to the bbc because that's what we're talking about. yeah, but the bbc needs to call them out. okay neil sorry. needs to call them out. okay neii sorry. needs to call them out. okay neii think sorry. needs to call them out. okay neii think i sorry. needs to call them out. okay neii think i got sorry. needs to call them out. okay neii think i got cutrry. needs to call them out. okay neii think i got cut off and >> i think i got cut off and just with, with the system. just now with, with the system. but yes, nana i feel that that the like i said they the bbc like i said when they when hamas when you get the hamas palestinian spokesman on in the morning on radio four morning especially on radio four they're just not challenged enough why israel is enough as to why israel is taking this action in the first place. >> the fact, you know, the murderous hamas and butchering women and children in israel ,

women and children in israel, all israelis, and so that is why i think, you know, and also when it came to the to the bombing of the hospital, they they jumped in very, very quickly. it was definitely israel. well, you know, the jury's out on that at the very least. and so, therefore, i think, you know, they be careful they will have to be careful because i think they sort of think that they're being moderate and, you know, acting by being impartial, by not calling it out as a terrorist organisation. >> but if you've read parts of the covenant, hamas, you will read that they're they're they're they want to kill all they're they want to kill all the jews. i mean, that's pretty much that's what it says on the tin. but it says the iranian constitution says the same thing. >> but i think the point that neil made about the church of england hospital, which is funded church, funded by the anglican church, for gaza city, for heaven's sake, in gaza city, it's interesting because in fact , didn't the hospital. it , it didn't hit the hospital. it hit car park. hit the car park. >> well, that's the of the hospital all evidence. hospital and all the evidence. >> look at the >> if you actually look at the trail where the missile was trail of where the missile was launched from, know, say

launched from, you know, to say that actually came from that it actually came from israel israel is israel or bombed by israel is really think really facile. so but i think this where bbc may i just this is where the bbc may i just have a little bit of sympathy for the bbc because i mean, dear old auntie, day, she old auntie, bbc on her day, she was i'm not entirely sure was good. i'm not entirely sure that that day prevails. that that day still prevails. >> fair, you know, >> and to be fair, you know, they're not here to respond. so you talk about them you know, we can talk about them and i to spend and say, but i have to spend money i to buy a flippin licence. >> i've got a right to say. >> i've got a right to say. >> but the point is, then they aren't defend aren't here to defend themselves. know, we themselves. so we you know, we have fair them. but have to be be fair to them. but on this occasion, it was quite clear that they reported on something very quickly potentially something very quickly potentia news broadcasters, we do with us news broadcasters, we do want first ones to want to be the first ones to report on it. but being first also means that you need to check and it check all your facts and it didn't quite right didn't even seem quite right because al jazeera because actually al jazeera were filming and saw because actually al jazeera were filrr missiles and saw because actually al jazeera were filrr missiles take and saw because actually al jazeera were filrr missiles take off nd saw because actually al jazeera were filrr missiles take off and saw because actually al jazeera were filrr missiles take off and then iw the missiles take off and then it looked like went it looked like one went backwards. then was backwards. and then there was a little explosion, was little explosion, which was a roundabout the hospital is roundabout where the hospital is a fuel tanker. exactly. so i'm not is not saying that that is definitely was pretty definitely it, but it was pretty close. ben, did you see close. i mean, ben, did you see that? >> i didn't see the footage. i've about and i've read about it. and the number well seems to

number of dead as well seems to have been exaggerated. but of course, going course, there's always going to be misinformation coming out through war. and through the fog of war. and we've got to take everything we now hear with a pinch of salt. but i go back to the what are the big consequences for the united kingdom not united kingdom here? it's not about israel kicking off against hamas or hamas, kicking off against the big geopolitical concern that have in the west concern that we have in the west is what going to happen in is what is going to happen in the on broader the middle east on a broader basis. that's why there are two american aircraft carriers there. we've sent there. that's why we've sent ships more there. that's why we've sent sh do more there. that's why we've sent sh do with more there. that's why we've sent sh do with iran more there. that's why we've sent sh do with iran or more there. that's why we've sent sh do with iran or saudi more there. that's why we've sent sh do with iran or saudi arabia.“ to do with iran or saudi arabia. and of course, hezbollah and lebanon in the north, where another are you saying that you'd rather the bbc sort of focus on a lot more of that? >> well, i think rather than i think we need some proper journalism around why is journalism around why this is happening the happening and who the main actors and what risks we as actors are and what risks we as actors are and what risks we as a country face as a result of what's going on. because of course, they've got all the resources, all the resources, they've got all the money it money we have to pay for it anyway. so they could be doing that. and last word you, neil parish. >> yeah, just very you >> yeah, just very much. you know, when cover know, the bbc, when they cover it, they just must challenge

hamas palestinians and hamas and the palestinians and they leave them to they mustn't just leave them to rant against israel. and i think they just must be seen, to be fair and they can broaden it as everybody else has said, the arguments as well. but i think, you we really must you know, we just really must concentrate is israel concentrate on why is israel taking this action? would we be taking this action? would we be taking this action? would we be taking this sort of action if we'd had innocent women, men and children actually murdered? i suspect we would. and i think that's what they miss very often with this whole argument. >> but will the bbc exist in its present form in ten years time? i well, that's another that's >> well, that's another that's another discussion. >> i think that's the crux of what talking here, what we're talking about here, isn't yeah, but we're talking >> well, yeah, but we're talking about the about actually this at the moment. but you very much, moment. but thank you very much, neil to talk you. neil paris, good to talk to you. stephen uh, stephen pound and ben habib. uh, what think? that's what what do you think? that's what they think. their views. they think. that's their views. gb gb news.com gb views gbnews.com or tweet me at is gb news. at gb news. this is gb news. coming up, continue with coming up, we'll continue with the this the great british debate this houn the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, have the bbc been their been prejudiced in their reporting conflict ? reporting of the hamas conflict? you'll thoughts of my you'll hear the thoughts of my panel adviser to the panel, former adviser to the labour party, matthew lazer, also journalist

15 years, 16 years that biggest show on local radio. all right. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> go on then. >> go on then. >> so he was going back then in a bit of memory lane then was frustrations. >> happy days. okay. the bbc is far as i did get fired for. for being a 50 year old white guy . being a 50 year old white guy. yes, we've discussed it before. carry on. anyway, so the bbc, i think , have got this wrong now. think, have got this wrong now. their defence, it's a bit like the gary lineker defence now. gary six months ago said gary lineker six months ago said the is using language the government is using language associated with 1930 germany. the mail, the next day the daily mail, the next day print a headline comparing, conflating understandably with germany , lineker says. i never germany, lineker says. i never mention jews and they've done it again . again. >> he never meant to germany. >> he never meant to germany. >> he's exactly so. i mean, he must think that we are absolute idiots bbc are treating idiots and the bbc are treating us contempt here because us with contempt here because their said it's their reporter said that it's hard to see what else this could be really given the size of the explosion than an israeli explosion other than an israeli airstrike or several airstrikes. and then his boss defends this by saying, well, he at no point reported that it was an israeli airstrike. it's lineker

airstrike. it's the lineker defence. he's he's telling us a message. lynch and this journalist, he is pointing us in the direction of either germany or an israeli bomb, but they haven't implicitly said it. and that's gary has nothing to do with this particular. >> no, no, but but i know what you're using as a defence is, well, i never actually said that. >> yes, you in not so many >> yes, you did. in not so many words, course you have. words, of course you have. >> that was pretty lame. yeah. >> yeah, i think look, i mean, i was at the bbc for similar was at the bbc for a similar amount of i wasn't fired. amount of time. i wasn't fired. ijust amount of time. i wasn't fired. i just going to point that out because wasn't i and because i wasn't 50. i was. and you there so we're all you were there too. so we're all we're all i'm a white man, but i'm not quite 50. almost but in all seriousness, i think the problem we've got here is the reporter made a mistake and his big , it was a big big mistake, it was a big mistake. and i think danny's right that the mistake has been compound bbc trying compound did by the bbc trying to defend it by saying that he didn't say what he's on the record and the is there of record and the clip is there of him said and i think him having said and i think you know from the know this all stems from the big decision not to use the word terrorists, even after the

events two weeks ago with events we saw two weeks ago with the attacks by hamas. and so now they've sort of bbc they've got this sort of bbc compromise, has taken only compromise, which has taken only two to work which is two weeks to work out which is they will not use the word militant as de facto , which they militant as de facto, which they were the damage militant as de facto, which they wer(been the damage militant as de facto, which they wer(been done. the damage militant as de facto, which they wer(been done. but'he damage militant as de facto, which they wer(been done. but thedamage militant as de facto, which they wer(been done. but the damage is has been done. but the damage is exactly damage has exactly nana. the damage has been i think therefore been done. and i think therefore people being people in the field are being let down. hearing today let down. so we're hearing today that counselling and that extra counselling and mental is being mental health support is being given bbc people at home given to bbc people both at home and the field. and those in the field. >> are we paying for because of the stress they're under? >> are we paying for because of the no ass they're under? >> are we paying for because of the no ,;s they're under? >> are we paying for because of the no , i they're under? >> are we paying for because of the no , i mean, ley're under? >> are we paying for because of the no , i mean, it's'e under? >> are we paying for because of the no , i mean, it's stressful >> no, i mean, it's stressful reporting zone . reporting from a war zone. >> with that. but what >> i agree with that. but what about journalists everywhere >> i agree with that. but what about no, journalists everywhere >> i agree with that. but what about no, no, rnalists everywhere >> i agree with that. but what about no, no, no. ists everywhere >> i agree with that. but what about no, no, no. look, yerywhere >> i agree with that. but what about no, no, no. look,yemean,5 else? no, no, no. look, i mean, that's isn't your job. that's the job, isn't your job. >> that's what they're doing. >> so that's what they're doing. yeah, that yeah, i'm i'm reporting that neutrally that they that neutrally that they are that he's guy who's doing this he's the guy who's doing this that friend of a friend of that was a friend of a friend of mine announced that that was a friend of a friend of min(it announced that that was a friend of a friend of min(it will announced that that was a friend of a friend of min(it will be announced that that was a friend of a friend of min(it will be offered |ced that that was a friend of a friend of min(it will be offered tod that that it will be offered to everybody, in the everybody, not just those in the conflict because apparently people getting at people are getting shouted at at dinner parties. people are getting shouted at at din that's ties. people are getting shouted at at din that's typical. but, you >> that's typical. but, you know, what, though? know, do you know what, though? i all very i mean, look, it's all very well. you're you have to well. but if you're you have to own what you say. so if you say things wrong then things that are wrong and then they with the

they cause the problem with the bbc is that it has such a global image worldwide and it has bbc bbc is that it has such a global image serviceide and it has bbc bbc is that it has such a global image serviceide asuch has bbc world service and such a wonderful a wonderful wonderful it is a wonderful bastion of what this country is about, at least and it about, or it was at least and it is unfortunate, but it's also hadits is unfortunate, but it's also had it's journalists in the had it's own journalists in the middle east making comments which are anti semitic. and, you know , there is an issue with know, there is an issue with that. know, there is an issue with that . and i know, there is an issue with that. and i don't know know, there is an issue with that . and i don't know how it's that. and i don't know how it's to going i think the problem after what they said sorry, very quickly, is that joe joe biden was to meeting some was supposed to be meeting some people. of course, people. and then, of course, that the that meeting with some of the arab leaders turned down arab leaders was turned down because as result of a because i think as a result of a lot of what was said, because they that israel they thought that perhaps israel had this bomb, this had created this bomb, this hospital. >> yeah, look , as you say, it >> yeah, look, as you say, it was a very, serious mistake was a very, very serious mistake in reporting. look, in the reporting. now, look, it is, you know, it's very difficult reporting from a conflict do conflict zone. mistakes do happen. but he should have acknowledged the mistake and then the bbc shouldn't have tried the indefensible tried to defend the indefensible or said or they should have said this was of the was said in the heat of the moment. actually, you moment. this is actually, you know, be and i know, what should be said. and i think it's kind of lions led by donkeys in the sense that the management to two

management i mean, to take two weeks we weeks to compromise, that we will only won't the word will only we won't use the word militant go to is just is militant as the go to is just is just ridiculous. and think one just ridiculous. and i think one of with the world of the problems with the world service have service is because there have been what's been so many cuts, what's happened the and happened is rather than the and also a of slightly also there's a sort of slightly woke they shouldn't woke feeling that they shouldn't have, you know, men or have, you know, white men or indeed the uk indeed anybody from the uk reporting from the zones. they hire a lot of people locally. they kind of one they give them a kind of one week on bbc and week course on bbc values and therefore, it's often therefore, you know, it's often hard it. and of course the hard to do it. and of course the management the management don't speak the languages, the languages, so who knows what the reports guy he this guy, reports guy wasn't he this guy, this guy british. i mean, in this guy was british. i mean, in terms people been terms of the people who've been who tweets, the who liked the tweets, the anti—semitic tweets, still journalists i'm journalists and they still i'm not excusing it. i'm not i'm not excusing it. i'm saying problem. saying it's a problem. >> and they are part of you know, well be know, they may well be freelancers stuff, no, freelancers and stuff, but no, actually, employed, actually, they're employed, but they're employed locally and they're not given enough supervision to ensure that they you the management you know, what the management need to sort it out. >> another inadequate defence or excuse bbc, they say that excuse of the bbc, they say that they will use the words terror attacks. farage attacks. i remember nigel farage interview someone who was represented bbc in this represented the bbc in this studio about or days ago and studio about 5 or 6 days ago and he legitimised it by saying we can word terror attacks

can use the word terror attacks and at the and i was screaming at the telly. ask him who telly. nigel ask him who perpetuates? who's purpose? telly. nigel ask him who pewho'sites? who's purpose? telly. nigel ask him who pewho's the’ who's purpose? telly. nigel ask him who pewho's the perpetratorpurpose? telly. nigel ask him who pewho's the perpetrator of �*pose? telly. nigel ask him who pewho's the perpetrator of a)se? it who's the perpetrator of a terror attack? yeah, that's the question. if that's a terror attack , what are they who are attack, what are they who are they? they do have a terror attack. >> wm attack. >> be. it's >> you must be. it's this spinning the. on head of spinning on the. on the head of a sixpence or whatever the phrase it's just it's phrase is that it's just it's just management needs it just the management needs to it needs to much more reactive just the management needs to it neetnot) much more reactive just the management needs to it neetnot get much more reactive just the management needs to it neetnot get themselves reactive just the management needs to it neetnot get themselves inactive just the management needs to it neetnot get themselves in thise and not get themselves in this mess because, as you say, that shatters the bbc's reputation. well, shame. well, it is a shame. >> the bbc are not >> but of course the bbc are not here defend themselves. but here to defend themselves. but i mean, you you saw it, you mean, you know, you saw it, you watched are the watched it. and those are the words journalist did words that that journalist did say. are simply asking say. so we are simply asking the question that question whether you think that they're being biased in they're perhaps being biased in their reporting. keep your thoughts views thoughts coming, gb views gbnews.com at gb gbnews.com or tweet me at gb news. show is nothing news. but this show is nothing without your views. without you. and your views. let's welcome british let's welcome our great british voices their opportunity to be on and tell us what on the show and tell us what they think about topics that they think about the topics that we're i'm amanda we're discussing. i'm amanda hindley. there in kent. hindley. she is there in kent. amanda right. so nice to see you. yeah looks lovely. i'm going to get wig just like going to get a wig just like that. just like that. amanda talk me. what do you think

good afternoon. if you just joined us, welcome on board. this is a gb news. we are the people's channel. don't forget as well. you can download the gb news app. i'm nana akua. and it's time now for world view. so let's reflect on ongoing let's reflect on the ongoing conflict israel and conflict between israel and hamas. demonstrators are currently gathering in london's trafalgar to demand the trafalgar square to demand the release hostages being held release of hostages being held by in the gaza strip. so by hamas in the gaza strip. so joining me now is the chairman of the national jewish assembly , of the national jewish assembly, gary gary, we spoke gary mond. now, gary, we spoke last and i know this week last week and i know this week on the monday you were at the bbc at the protest there. so talk give me an update as to what's been going on and what your members are saying. well, we had 1500 members the we had 1500 members at the demonstration, a number of speakers media, from speakers from the media, from israel grass roots groups. >> and i think that the message is just starting to percolate through to the bbc. but of course, they're being very mealy mouthed in they're saying mouthed in what they're saying and the use of the and doing about the use of the word terrorists. >> they don't be >> they don't seem to be prepared what prepared in spite of what they've said, to actually call

hamas out as terrorists. and then no sooner do we focus on that area, then there's, of course, way reported on course, the way they reported on theissue course, the way they reported on the issue concerning the car park hospital in gaza park in the hospital in gaza city where they blamed israel before they even actually took the out the facts i >> and it's appalling. >> and it's appalling. >> well, it took them the problem is and obviously, you know, want bash the know, i don't want to bash the bbc have a lot of bbc because i have a lot of respect. i've been trained by them. they have they have some amazing qualities. this amazing qualities. but on this particular , i think they particular issue, i think they they have a bit of a conflict of interest because on one side, they're saying they want to be impartial the other side impartial and the other side they're able to call they're not able to call something what it is something out for what it is as if it had been judged for doing that. i think this is something that's many years. >> it's not just a development with this particular with regard to this particular war. got enormous >> we've got two enormous examples this particular war. >> if you were looking back at 2014 conflicts 2014 and another conflicts a similar sort of bias against israel in favour of its enemies has developed. >> you think and i mean , some >> you think and i mean, some people would say that that isn't

the case because they do. i mean, i think there were some palestinians were also palestinians who were also protesting saying that the bbc were being them were not being fair to them either. so some but either. so some times. but i mean, look, on this particular either. so some times. but i mean, |one on this particular either. so some times. but i mean, |one incident,)articular either. so some times. but i mean, |one incident, i rticular either. so some times. but i mean, |one incident, i havear either. so some times. but i mean, |one incident, i have to on this one incident, i have to 100% be with you on that. they they they got it. don't they they they got it. i don't know whether they got it wrong they they they got it. i don't kn righthether they got it wrong they they they got it. i don't kn righthethe regard got it wrong they they they got it. i don't kn righthethe regard goithe nrong or right with regard to the hospital, too far hospital, but they were too far ahead and they hadn't checked there. >> there's evidence to show that it missile from the palestinian. >> evidence, mean, >> there is evidence, i mean, and thought that and it's widely thought that that so so beyond that is the case. so so beyond that, then, what else has been going on? because obviously, the conflict is still happening. what are your members? >> actually to >> i think we actually need to look issue not look at one issue that's not often covered is what's going on inside israel. >> right. we've got 300,000 to 400,000 people middle >> right. we've got 300,000 to 400,(people people middle >> right. we've got 300,000 to 400,(people being ople middle >> right. we've got 300,000 to 400,(people being called middle >> right. we've got 300,000 to 400,(people being called up.|iddle aged people being called up. >> that's the equivalent of 3 million 4 million. million to 4 million. >> britain, we've got 100 to >> in britain, we've got 100 to 150,000 israelis having to leave home moved. home and be moved. >> like 1 to 1.5 million >> that's like 1 to 1.5 million people in britain. it's these are astonishing numbers and are astonishing high numbers and israeli is being badly israeli life is being badly affected by the war. >> and that is not often felt. and the other issue people and the other issue that people are about is

are getting nervous about is we're starting to hear from politicians use of the word politicians the use of the word israel needs to restrain itself. >> israel needs to do what's in its best interests . its best interests. >> and that's a matter for israel's government. >> and whatever that is, it is . >> and whatever that is, it is. >> and whatever that is, it is. >> and whatever that is, it is. >> and must be supported. >> and israel must be supported. you can't say we support israel on the hand, but on the on the one hand, but on the other hand, the moment they do something that feel over other hand, the moment they do sorrtop,ng that feel over other hand, the moment they do sorrtop, you1at feel over other hand, the moment they do sorrtop, you condemnel over other hand, the moment they do sorrtop, you condemn them.ver other hand, the moment they do sorrtop, you condemn them. and the top, you condemn them. and this is going to become a big issue, i believe, next issue, i believe, in the next couple particularly if couple of weeks, particularly if israeli forces enter gaza on israeli forces do enter gaza on the ground, because it must be hard deal that. hard to deal with that. >> of there are >> but of course, there are palestinian lives as well that are being destroyed with regards. >> every life important and >> every life is important and we to minimise we do our best to minimise civilian casualties. >> has objective >> but israel has an objective of hamas and if of eliminating hamas and if they're going to achieve that objective , tragically there will objective, tragically there will be damage . they be some collateral damage. they will seek to minimise it, i have no doubt. but there will be collateral damage if they're going their objective going to achieve their objective and of course to and they also of course want to do the hostages. >> what are your thoughts the >> what are your thoughts on the protesters the fact that protesters and the fact that they from they were chanting from the river sea and also

river to the sea and also calling jihad? well i think calling for jihad? well i think it's absolutely appalling. >> would to some >> and i would like to see some prosecutions happen for hate speech, we see. there were speech, which we see. there were plenty of examples yesterday . plenty of examples yesterday. some are well recorded, others less well recorded. but we the government needs to get a grip on this sort of i mean, frankly , on this sort of i mean, frankly, there was a major campaign to stop the march altogether, which the jewish chronicle launched andits the jewish chronicle launched and it's a great shame that didn't succeed . and i think that didn't succeed. and i think that in the coming days and weeks, pressure needs to be put to bear on the government to stop these types of marches which do nothing but generate hatred for jewish people. >> but what would you say to the argument that this freedom of speech and in this country we don't of police speech in don't sort of police speech in it's a fine line between freedom of speech and hate speech and some of the hate speech is just absolutely disgusting and appalling. >> that was coming out of that march. >> and if you your members, do they talk with regard to of course, what's happening to those people in gaza who are obviously having to deal with

this situation? >> everybody is concerned about civilian, civilian lives and civilian, civilian lives and civilian casualties, whether whoever they are. but there is a job to be done. and that job is to eliminate hamas completely. and utterly and also make sure that a son hamas doesn't that a son of hamas doesn't emerge after hamas has been eliminated. >> don't think that >> but don't you think that obviously, know, with the obviously, you know, with the violence, of violence, violence sort of perpetuates so perpetuates violence. so absolutely. israel have the right to defend itself on every level. the best comparison is the way the allied forces dealt with germany in 1945, germany was an evil which had to be obliterated from the world. >> and stalin, roosevelt and churchill all agreed on that. and that's what they did. germany finished in may 1945 and has never resurfaced yet . s the has never resurfaced yet. s the idea of tragically still exists very much so. and i'm sure the idea of islamic fundamentalism will continue to exist. but we can actually deal with the entity known as hamas on the ground in gaza and that has to

be done. >> okay. well listen, gary, thank you for speaking so passionately about that. and thank you so much for coming in and me about that. and talking to me about that. >> very for >> thank you very much for having me. >> monti. he's the >> that is gary monti. he's the chairman national jewish chairman for the national jewish assembly, to assembly, travelling over now to america , where we're going to america, where we're going to speak host the speak to the host of the politics podcast, politics people podcast, paul duddridge, and let's out duddridge, and let's find out what's on there, what's been going on there, starting and starting off with trump and trump's attorney, sidney powell flips on him. what is this? somebody turned on trump . somebody turned on trump. >> yes. in short, in the georgia election case, where trump is accused of trying to overturn a legitimate election , fingers legitimate election, fingers crossed, they want to say that one of his, uh, co conspirators, i think they're now described as sidney powell, has taken a plea deal and pled guilty to six misdemeanour us connected with overturning an election and has agreed to testify in this matter . and that largely means testifying against trump and all

the other co—conspirators as listed. she has been sentenced to six years probation and a $6,000 fine and must write a letter of apology to georgia and its residents . its residents. >> oh, so what are they expecting to hear from her then? and she's she's flipping on him. what what kind of nasties could she reveal ? she reveal? >> well, it's this is the ongoing witch hunt. she will basically say what the state has been saying all along, which is that the election was stolen and trump sort whilst he was actually just apparently asking for a recount of the votes that wasn't what was happening. he wasn't what was happening. he was actually mounting an insurrection and trying to overthrow a legitimate elected government. i'm sure his along those lines of the prosecutions and all. but that's this is in georgia . it's actually very, georgia. it's actually very, very bad. i mean, i seem to make light of it, but it is very, very bad for trump because this these are real world

ramifications . ramifications. >> but he still leading in the polls . he still he's still polls. he still he's still leading in the polls, isn't he ? leading in the polls, isn't he? >> this the polls this week have gone through the roof for him. he is now leading . i want to get he is now leading. i want to get this right because i'm not these aren't just sort of the trump organisation polls, cnbc . organisation polls, cnbc. bloomberg has him leading in swing states, but for the very first time he's leading in the under 30 category. now everybody . yeah. the received wisdom is that yes well he can't republicans and trump can never get the young vote he's currently leading in the seven swing states according to the bloomberg poll. he's leading in the under 30 category. and that is a first. and this is the first time since summer that he's actually leading . biden you he's actually leading. biden you know, i come on here full of doom and gloom saying i don't think he can win in because think he can win in 24 because of swing states. he's now of the swing states. he's now leading in them. >> what hell is going on >> what the hell is going on with his hair, though? it looks like ears in his head like he's got ears in his head and i just to and it's wrong. i just want to quickly finish biden, who quickly finish on biden, who

sundays on gb news with me, michael portillo gb news britain's new . channel

britain's new. channel >> welcome aboard . if you've >> welcome aboard. if you've just tuned in, this is gb news. we are the people's channel. don't forget as well. you can stream the show live on youtube. i'm nana akua and it's time for the great british debate. this hour and i'm asking suella braverman that migrant braverman saying is that migrant crossings an invasion. crossings are an invasion. but do agree with her wording do you agree with her wording more half of britain's back more than half of britain's back the home secretary has choice of words used to describe the arrival of 109,000 illegal migrants via small boats since 2018. that is according to a poll of nearly 2000 people. in addition , the survey by people addition, the survey by people polling found that an ovennhelming 52% of the public believe that channel migrants should be considered a security threat, whereas only 20% did not believe they represented a threat at all. so for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking suella braverman says, that migrant crossings are an invasion . do you agree with her? invasion. do you agree with her? now i'm joined by nigel nelson , now i'm joined by nigel nelson, gb news, senior political commentator and also stephen

woolf, director for the centre of migration and economic policy. okay. i'm going to start with you, nigel. nigel yeah, i'm here. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> do you agree with that? >> do you agree with that? >> oh, sorry. i thought. i thought i was going to get a question. >> no question that i've done the question. i'm just saying. no, no, i don't. >> think the, the >> i think that the, the language that suella braverman has is unnecessarily has been using is unnecessarily inflammatory. when she talks about invasions, that gives the idea of some kind of military attack, which it's not. when she talks about hurricanes, she suggests that it's all coming our way, which again, it's not if there's any hurricane in migration, it's going around the world. and so the language is really bad, even illegal illegal migrants is the wrong language that the official term is unregulated migrants . and that's unregulated migrants. and that's the term the home office used , the term the home office used, is this is just one for politicians . politicians. >> but but she's i mean , look, i >> but but she's i mean, look, i don't think there's anything wrong with the word invasion.

let's see an invasion. insurgents invading a country region with an armed force. yes. thatis region with an armed force. yes. that is true. but there are lots of definitions of the word invasion that don't necessarily involve precision . involve a military precision. stephen. stephen, what do you think? well i look across history when you're looking at the impact of immigration to the united kingdom . united kingdom. >> when the romans came here, they invaded us with an army of around 20,000 people. >> when the normans invaded the england they came with between five and 7000. when the germans planned to invade the united kingdom, they looked at around 100,000. so the context there in terms of military is large numbers of people trying to come into the united kingdom because they wanted to take us over. >> so in that context , i they wanted to take us over. >> so in that context, i can't agree with suella braverman in suggesting that these people want to take us over. >> but if you're looking at the numbers, then clearly when we're looking at over 1 numbers, then clearly when we're looking at over1 million people since 2000, i've claimed asylum

in this country, we've had 190,000 in the last few years. >> these are huge numbers coming over and your correspondent is wrong to say that the government uses the phrase unregulated . uses the phrase unregulated. >> it's irregular migration , >> it's irregular migration, illegal migration is actually the legal definition . the legal definition. >> when somebody comes into the united kingdom, when they don't allow or have a reason to come here legally, that is , as an here legally, that is, as an immigration barrister , i know immigration barrister, i know that it's only when they claim asylum do they start to become legal. >> and so we have to look at those definitions very clearly. i think she needs to really be careful about the language because what it does, it simply hands us over to the left and those who disagree with her, a weapon to say she's racist. and this is damaging, choose your words wisely if you want to deal with the issue properly . with the issue properly. >> but, stephen, this is a this is a legal definition of invading. it says trespass , not

invading. it says trespass, not encroach, infringe , invade, mean encroach, infringe, invade, mean to make inroads upon the property territory or rights of another trespass implies an unwarranted or unlawful intrusion. what's wrong with her using that word? i'm just not sure why she should be, you know. well i'm saying it's understandable if you want to look at it in terms of ordinary citizens understanding that language. >> i get it. >> i get it. >> but the point is, she's a politician who tries to kind of define where we want to be in this debate . and the debate is this debate. and the debate is very clear. most people want to see irregular and unlawful migration dealt with swiftly. >> they want to see asylum applicants only for those who are genuine asylum seekers . are genuine asylum seekers. >> and what they need is a home secretary and a government that is willing to deal with it all she does when using language that can be used as inflammatory by those on the left is she hands them a weapon than hands them a weapon rather than simply saying, hands them a weapon rather than simply saying , let's deal with simply saying, let's deal with it properly and i believe she doesit it properly and i believe she

does it that way , then she'll does it that way, then she'll have more people on her side and less attacks from the left. >> but but don't you think that she's waiting she's they're actually waiting for ? i mean, look, for something? i mean, look, nigel, she says, nigel, whatever she says, they'll something because they'll find something because they'll find something because they don't. they're just trying to weaponize her words. >> i mean, she's >> well, i mean, she's weaponizing the words. and this is that don't use them is the point that don't use them as weapons. that if you're trying to sort out out a way of stopping the boats and the one thing that we all agree on is that the boat should be stopped . that the boat should be stopped. but the but but then to try and rage people up to it, it encourages hatred. i think . and encourages hatred. i think. and i don't think it's necessarily racist what she is doing . but i racist what she is doing. but i do think that it means that the british public have a kind of response to it, that somehow now we've got an influx of people we don't want . and i think that don't want. and i think that that to go on what stephen was saying almost like, yes, they're trying to take us over or something like that, none of which is true. >> but what about lampedusa reza

then that italian island that ended up with more migrants than the actual population themselves? nigel i mean, what would you call that then? well i mean, not invasion. mean, not an invasion. >> these were >> i mean, these these were these were people turning on these were people turning up on these were people turning up on the shores . and yes, that if you the shores. and yes, that if you haven't got the infrastructure to deal with it, it becomes an impossible problem . but what impossible problem. but what suella braverman is not doing is trying to solve the issue . two trying to solve the issue. two of the small boats and the best way to do that would be to change the asylum system. so you don't encourage people to cross the channel because they have to claim asylum on british soil. >> well, that's what they think. nigel nelson, thank you very much. his gb news senior political and political commentator and stephen director the stephen woolf, director for the centre for migration and economic you economic prosperity. thank you for . well, what do for your thoughts. well, what do you at home? was she wrong you think at home? was she wrong to word invasion? i'm to use the word invasion? i'm sorry, don't there's sorry, but i don't think there's anything i'm anything wrong with it. i'm sorry to but i'm inclined sorry to say, but i'm inclined to with it's coming sorry to say, but i'm inclined to to with it's coming sorry to say, but i'm inclined to to 32 with it's coming sorry to say, but i'm inclined to to 32 minutes it's coming sorry to say, but i'm inclined to to 32 minutes after�*oming sorry to say, but i'm inclined to to 32 minutes after 5:00.] sorry to say, but i'm inclined to to 32 minutes after 5:00. i'm up to 32 minutes after 5:00. i'm nana akua. this is gb news on tv, online and digital radio. tv, online and on digital radio. coming continue with

invasion, but do you agree with her language? let's see what my panel make of that. i'm joined by former labour adviser matthew laza , also broadcaster and laza, also broadcaster and journalist danny kelly. matthew laza an invasion . laza an invasion. >> i can see why people think that. i think it's an unfortunate choice of words from the home secretary i think that we need to try and be measured in the language we have, and i also think that the real reason is that she's she's made us on language is because she's failed on principal job, which is language is because she's failed on stop principal job, which is language is because she's failed on stop the cipal job, which is language is because she's failed on stop the small)b, which is language is because she's failed onstop the small boats. ch is language is because she's failed on stop the small boats. the; to stop the small boats. the tories haven't stopped the small boats. higher tories haven't stopped the small boats ever. higher tories haven't stopped the small boatsever. and higher tories haven't stopped the small boatsever. and the higher tories haven't stopped the small boatsever. and the backlog her tories haven't stopped the small boatsever. and the backlog gets than ever. and the backlog gets ever longer of people whose applications be applications need to be processed. say suella, processed. so i'd say suella, you , stop trying to make you know, stop trying to make headunes you know, stop trying to make headlines with language and start headlines by start making headlines by actually sorting the problem. >> think, that a lot >> you think, though, that a lot of leaning people who of these left leaning people who complained about the word invasion about invasion would be speaking about the and all the other the word jihad and all the other words? i mean, think there words? i mean, i think there seem a silent on that. >> i think i think my side of the argument shouldn't get hung up language. they up on the language. they shouldn't language shouldn't make the language the

biggest they biggest issue. you know, they shouldn't that. shouldn't sort of distract that. they what they should be they should. what they should be focusing on, as suella focusing on, just as suella should on sorting should be focusing on sorting the know, the the problem, the, you know, the labour the left should the problem, the, you know, the lalfocusing the left should the problem, the, you know, the lalfocusing on the left should the problem, the, you know, the lalfocusing on highlightinglould the problem, the, you know, the lalfocusing on highlighting how be focusing on highlighting how she hasn't sorted problem. be focusing on highlighting how she butsn't sorted problem. be focusing on highlighting how she but surelyted problem. be focusing on highlighting how shebut surelyted languagen. be focusing on highlighting how shebut surelyted language is >> but surely that language is actually sound like actually making it sound like she's taking it seriously? danny she's doing anything. she's taking it seriously? danny she'sdisagree.g anything. she's taking it seriously? danny she'sdisagree. i anything. she's taking it seriously? danny she'sdisagree. i thinking. she's taking it seriously? danny she'sdisagree. i thinkingyou >> i disagree. i think if you ask average man woman on ask the average man and woman on the street part of the vernacular, if you ask them to define and understand define and i understand the there are less violent definitions invasion, i definitions of invasion, but i think there connotations . think there are connotations. nafions think there are connotations. nations violent with nations that are violent with invasion. you think of a home invasion. you think of a home invasion . that's what the yanks invasion. that's what the yanks call birth glory. so i'm sorry, nana locking horns on something . nana locking horns on something. so. so i think that for the home secretary to use those words. so you agree with matthew? i agree . you agree with matthew? i agree. >> i think it's to the left of me on this one. i'm not i just don't to on no, i just don't see the point of why she used the language. >> it would be better off if she didn't use the language associated with violence in my opinion. >> so you think that's why i

think i'll give you the dictionary definition, because obviously associated obviously no jihad is associated with the river with violence during the river to the sea. with violence during the river to tthese|. associated with >> these are associated with violence. read a violence. let me read you in a definition invasion trust definition of invasion trust pass. this is a legal definition. trespass pass, encroach , infringe, invade mean encroach, infringe, invade mean to make inroads into the property territory or rights of other trespass implies an unwarranted or unlawful intrusion. >> you are using the gary lineker defence by by not. actually, i'm just going to duck here for a minute. >> i'm just reading you a dictionary definition of invasion and that i agree invasion and saying that i agree that wording was fine that her wording was fine because that definition there because on that definition there thatis because on that definition there that is all the things that somebody who comes your somebody who comes to your country doing. somebody who comes to your coqury doing. somebody who comes to your coqu we doing. somebody who comes to your coqu we pursue doing. somebody who comes to your coqu we pursue yourying. somebody who comes to your coqu we pursue your logic, we >> if we pursue your logic, we are going have logic. are going to have logic. >> definition. so i'm >> that's my definition. so i'm agreeing we agreeing that what issue that we are have to go onto are now going to have to go onto google and get a dictionary definition she utters. >> why ? >> why? >> why? >> because. because you're doing it with the word invasion, there may be different connotations . may be different connotations. >> i'm just simply agreeing with her read her and having read the definition, with even

definition, i agree with it even more. really don't see more. and i really don't see what big deal is where what the big deal is where people focussed on people seem to be so focussed on the for a word that is the language for a word that is actually that that has a meaning as what she when as to what she says when actually issue the actually the issue is the migrant crossing. >> the thing is it's >> i think the thing is it's about she's right about being i think she's right about being i think she's right about the thing about it. i think the thing is that think invaded that people think you invaded that people think you invaded thatis that people think you invaded that is the dictionary definition. as you've read out. i most often used as i think it is most often used as a armies. isn't it about being invaded by a foreign power? and i think that's connotation i think that's the connotation that difficult. that people find difficult. people a far the people are coming from a far the biggest biggest do biggest the biggest thing to do is problem out. you is sort the problem out. you know, less bothered about know, i'm less bothered about the and more the language and i'm more bothered fact there's bothered about the fact there's 150,000 cases who are 150,000 migrants cases who are stacking are hotels stacking up. there are hotels across the country, which is costing it's six, seven, £8 costing us. it's six, seven, £8 million figure seems million a day. the figure seems to going up on almost to keep going up on an almost daily basis. and we've had 100,000 people come in, small boats . boats. >> the normal the members of. that's not the problem. no. i think the members of the public would i reckon would actually agree. i reckon that most people would say that that most people would say that that it does like the that is it does feel like the place invaded. i think place is being invaded. i think she's think feel she's i don't think she feel

like what, i don't like i tell you what, i don't think wrong saying think she's wrong in saying that there areas good point. there are areas a good point. >> are areas of liverpool. >> there are areas of liverpool. i'm scouser, i've travelled 96 i'm a scouser, i've travelled 96 miles but i'm miles from the midlands, but i'm a the 96 miles back. a scouser the 96 miles back. hopefully the hopefully i'll make it back the rear liverpool that are rear areas of liverpool that are unrecognisable recent unrecognisable due to recent mass immigration, completely unrecognisable where there have been people who have, who have, who moved out. okay, now who have moved out. okay, now they've been replaced by people who necessarily have different they've been replaced by people who nnsystems, have different they've been replaced by people who nnsystems, differentferent belief systems, different religions, and there are conflicts already. and we need to understand . now, if i was to to understand. now, if i was to ask a scouser in kensington, the suburb of liverpool , how do you suburb of liverpool, how do you feel like you've been invaded? he would probably say yes he or she would probably say yes . now the that i haven't . now the fact that i haven't got personal experience with got any personal experience with this, unquote invasion led this, quote unquote invasion led me to my response earlier on. so you go to liverpool, you go to areas of coventry, birmingham, where streets are unrecognisable as to as to what they were like 5 or 6 years ago. and you ask the average brummie, do you feel like it's an invasion? and he or she would look around and they would you to to would just point you to the to the yeah,

the demographic and say, yeah, it invasion . it feels like an invasion. >> so, so my point is that >> so, so, so my point is that it's not it doesn't mean that you're being rude about the people who are coming from another place . you just another place. you are just being about you see. being honest about what you see. and those people who live on and for those people who live on the boats the kent coast, having boats constantly in now constantly coming in now that would like an invasion. so would feel like an invasion. so ijust would feel like an invasion. so i just think that she's right. she's language that she's using the language that the people who are dealing with it actually facing. that's it are actually facing. that's what she's talking about. >> but she's not dealing with the problem. that's the that's the issue. >> i'm not going argue with >> i'm not going to argue with that. worries me. >> i'm not going to argue with tha no, worries me. >> i'm not going to argue with tha no, we're worries me. >> i'm not going to argue with tha no, we're not.norries me. >> i'm not going to argue with tha no, we're not. we're; me. >> i'm not going to argue with tha no, we're not. we're talking >> no, we're not. we're talking about she right to use the about is she right to use the word i think can about is she right to use the w0|agree i think can about is she right to use the w0|agree that i think can about is she right to use the w0|agree that thingsk can about is she right to use the w0|agree that things need can about is she right to use the w0|agree that things need t0| about is she right to use the w0|agree that things need to be all agree that things need to be changed. still remove changed. i still can't remove myself the violent myself from from the violent connotation with the word invasion. i take you to invasion. okay. so i take you to the liverpool. do you invasion. okay. so i take you to the like liverpool. do you invasion. okay. so i take you to the like it's liverpool. do you invasion. okay. so i take you to the like it's an verpool. do you invasion. okay. so i take you to the like it's an invasion?io you invasion. okay. so i take you to the like it's an invasion? they| feel like it's an invasion? they would there any would say yes. are there any incidents of violence? and there maybe getting semantics maybe we're getting semantics and disagreeing and we're disagreeing with vernacular definitions. vernacular and the definitions. again to. again we go back to. >> no, but but i but put it to >> no, but but i but i put it to you, though, that are you, though, that if you are around those areas where this influx is happening, that's what it will feel like to you. yeah.

so she is using the language that people there that those people who are there can very well. for can identify so very well. for gary lineker living his, you gary lineker living in his, you know, it in his know, wherever it is in his ivory talking about it. ivory tower talking about it. this is an invasion because he has no experience but has no experience of it. but if you area, having to you were in that area, having to deal that problem, you deal with that problem, you would you should have would feel that you should have qualified it. >> should have said, >> then she should have said, no, didn't. she have no, she didn't. she should have said are of said there are areas of liverpool, areas liverpool, there are areas of birmingham, the south coast. >> i think you're right in the sense that if you are in the south coast it does, which obviously britain's obviously is britain's was britain's of defence britain's first line of defence in war into in the second world war is into the psyche kind the national psyche as the kind of barrier between us and historically enemies then historically our enemies then and you have people coming over and you have people coming over and know, you as and you know, you you know, as nigel farage has done all those pictures, you people just pictures, you have people just randomly wandering around beaches. it can feel beaches. i see it can feel like that. i though, she that. i think, though, she should tone the should she should tone, tone the language unless she's going language down unless she's going to up with some better to come up with some better solutions. to come up with some better solutions i i to come up with some better solutionsi i think she >> well, i think i think she should as sees it, should call it as she sees it, especially those who have to especially for those who have to deal i it's deal with it. and i think it's typical of champagne socialists to and of water down a to come and sort of water down a language have to language when they don't have to

deal at all. deal with the situation at all. that's what i think this that's what i think with this show nothing without you and show is nothing without you and your views. >> not danny's ever >> i'm not sure danny's ever been socialist been a champagne socialist before. that's before. it's a first. no, that's a compliment. a real compliment. >> that back. let's a real compliment. >> what that back. let's a real compliment. >> what thatiat back. let's a real compliment. >> what that great:k. let's a real compliment. >> what that great british; see what that great british voices their voices think. it's their opportunity the show opportunity to be on the show and tell us what they think about topics we're about the topics we're discussing. two of you. discussing. i've got two of you. i in middlesbrough and i gotjulie in middlesbrough and i've grimsby. right. i've got alan in grimsby. right. i'm with i'm going to start with you. juue i'm going to start with you. julie middlesbrough. what julie in middlesbrough. what do you julia . >> julia, it's julia. >> julia, it's julia. >> yeah, i did. i corrected myself. second time, julia i've got three reasons why i agree with with her. >> the first reason is if, if it was mainly women and children coming across the channel and coming across the channel and coming in illegally, there's no way in a million years anyone would see that as an invasion because it's women and children . because it's women and children. and what we've got instead, though, is working age, fighting age all. so it's the sheer age men, all. so it's the sheer speed at which this is happening . i live in a very multicultural area and i am exactly in agreement with you when you say it to me personally, it does

feel like an invasion. my whole life's changed where i grew up and where i live is totally different to what it was when i was younger. and instead of mixing with the cultures we're living parallel alongside each other because of the sheer speed that at which this has all happened. and also when you look at the likes of sweden , i worry at the likes of sweden, i worry that that might happen here and we'll end up with civil unrest on the streets because of it, because of the speed, because they're men and because they're all men and because we're having undergone significant changes for us to all integrate properly. that's what i think. so, yes, i do agree with that. >> wow. well she said it like you, julia. there wouldn't have been a problem at all. >> should be home secretary. >> you should be home secretary. >> you should be home secretary. >> you should be home secretary. >> you should be home secretary. crikey that was good. absolutely. in absolutely. alan mcneely in grimsby, to say? grimsby, what's he got to say? it's a tough act follow. all it's a tough act to follow. all good anneliese. it's a tough act to follow. all goc good anneliese. it's a tough act to follow. all goc good afternoon, e. it's a tough act to follow. all goc good afternoon, nana. i it's a tough act to follow. all gocgood afternoon, nana. i think >> good afternoon, nana. i think the home secretary absolutely the home secretary is absolutely spot on. it's what the average person thinks and sees. if you have hundreds of young men

turning up on your beaches day after after day , what else after day after day, what else would you call it? but an invasion? and it is . these invasion? and it is. these people are coming here uninvited and they're entering the country illegally . whether they should illegally. whether they should be here or not is then got to be determined . but it can be seen determined. but it can be seen as nothing else than an invasion. and those people and i'm afraid all your guests on today who are all saying, oh, this is terribly shocking language, the home secretary is telling it like it is, and she's telling it like it is, and she's telling it like it is, and she's telling it in the way that people see it. so they can play with the semantics . but the with the semantics. but the reality is that every day we have hundreds of these people showing up on the on the coast being spread throughout the country. and the lady that's on with me is absolutely right. the impact on the society is in which people live is absolutely dramatic. you wouldn't recognise some of the places that you know in the country now have changed dramatically in the last probably 15 years.

>> well, that's been well, that's the problem. >> it's not managed properly or done well, then it creates upset and anger and it creates tension. that's why she's calling it out. and i agree with you guys. thank you very much, alan, lady and julia, there you go. take care . those are my go. take care. those are my great british voices. fabulous. well, listen , moving on to well, listen, moving on to another story that caught my eye today. is today. the labour party is reportedly to give reportedly planning to give drivers cash incentives to buy electric they literally electric cars. they literally can't sell them. they've got to give away. that's right. to give them away. that's right. to keep original 2030 ban on keep the original 2030 ban on the on the new petrol keep the original 2030 ban on the diesel new petrol keep the original 2030 ban on the diesel cars new petrol keep the original 2030 ban on the diesel cars going.v petrol keep the original 2030 ban on the diesel cars going. now,)l keep the original 2030 ban on the diesel cars going. now, this and diesel cars going. now, this comes after sunak recently rolled back on these net zero policies and got a little bit of a so what think ? a bounce. so what do you think? are board with his plan? are you on board with his plan? i'm to with you, i'm going to start with you, danny kelly. >> here £1,500 >> i've just i read here £1,500 incentive. listen if you're going to need £1,500 loan in going to need a £1,500 loan in order buy a 30 grand car, order to buy a 30 grand car, you're not in the market to buy a grand you're 28,500 a 30 grand car. you're 28,500 pounds short. he's giving you 1500 nicker. you can't afford it. about 15. it's true, because you can't afford it. you won't
