those radicals, brits , i, i'm those radicals, brits, i, i'm afraid, is in real trouble . afraid, is in real trouble. gb views coming in. gb views on cbnnews.com people say it's a fine balance to be had, isn't it? we have to have freedom of expression. we have to have freedom to protest. and i understand all of that. but at the same time, i would have thought that maybe that finishes at point where you call for at the point where you call for jihad. perhaps i'm just jihad. but hey, perhaps i'm just not let's go not liberal enough. now let's go to political to our political editor, christopher hope. christopher, thank you very, much. thank you very, very much. suella braverman christopher has called she, called for answers, hasn't she, on this, our home on all of this, our home secretary she got any? secretary has she got any? >> well, yet , patrick. there secretary has she got any? >> �*been yet , patrick. there secretary has she got any? >> �*been a yet , patrick. there secretary has she got any? >> �*been a meetingatrick. there secretary has she got any? >> �*been a meeting today there secretary has she got any? >> �*been a meeting today of ere secretary has she got any? >> �*been a meeting today of the has been a meeting today of the jewish community, crime, policing and security taskforce, an meeting called policing and security taskforce, an of meeting called policing and security taskforce, an of the meeting called policing and security taskforce, an of the huge�*ting called policing and security taskforce, an of the huge increaseed policing and security taskforce, an of the huge increase in because of the huge increase in anti—semitic investigations since october 7th. the attack by hamas on israel. we've heard from mark rowley since then.
3:12 pm
he's the met police chief in the capital and he says the hate. hate crime laws probably need to be withdrawn. redrawing what he means is that there are big issues, as you say there. why is someone shouting jihad at events in london? why is no one being arrested? and the. mr rowley says that sometimes the lines aren't in the right place. so now it's back in the hands of our elected mps . politicians who our elected mps. politicians who run this country decide what to do about that. should there be a change in laws or not? number 10, for its part, says there are no plans to give more powers to deal with extremist chanting . deal with extremist chanting. and they say that the conversation around the line of the law and the point of this whole whole issue, i think, patrick, is where is that line drawn? i mean , is it okay to say drawn? i mean, is it okay to say jihad on the streets of london or not? if not, why not? but as you say, in other in other cases, you have people with saint george's flag. obviously that might be in certain situations give rise that might be in certain sitangers give rise that might be in certain sitanger on give rise that might be in certain sitanger on the give rise that might be in certain sitanger on the streets. ve rise that might be in certain sitanger on the streets. thate to anger on the streets. that may be part of the context of
3:13 pm
that, but it's a hard one. it's really hard. it is a hard one. and i think the politicians are trying to react to it. i mean, we should definitely discuss it because it's a issue for because it's a live issue for our viewers. >> 100. i mean, >> yeah, well, 100. i mean, i think it is it is a massive issue. another one that's potentially going to be big for our viewers is what's taking place. just just quickly, christopher, in the house of commons, 15 minutes commons, in about 15 minutes time, i think rishi and time, i think rishi sunak and keir making keir starmer will be making a statement. do we about statement. what do we know about this far? so we'll take that this so far? so we'll take that live very good. this so far? so we'll take that livewell, good. this so far? so we'll take that livewell, what we do know is >> well, what we do know is there be a statement, an there will be a statement, an update israeli hamas update on the israeli hamas conflict. think may conflict. what we think may happenis conflict. what we think may happen is the sunak the prime minister will say who the security services here think was behind the attack on the hospital last week, which initially was blamed wrongly. it seems , on israel and may have seems, on israel and may have been a rival jihadi group to hamas . we don't know yet what hamas. we don't know yet what the government will say, but it's worth watching. gb news at half past three. >> yeah, absolutely. christopher, thank you very, very and to you very much. and i'll talk to you a bit later on well. a little bit later on as well. christopher hope there are
3:14 pm

3:15 pm
going to be an issue when the metropolitan police issued a statement on the day before saturday's demonstration when they said that a chant that is known to be a genocide, an anti—semitic chant from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. um, you know, we're subject to interpretation and they would not be making arrests because it wasn't going to be near a jewish school or a synagogue. now, i mean , synagogue. now, i mean, unpacking that could take half an hour . we know that that is a an hour. we know that that is a genocide chant. and we saw what from the river to the sea meant on the 7th of october. and what are they saying? that it's okay to issue a genocidal, anti—semitic chant so long as you're out of the earshot of jews? it was appalling ing on saturday day, london, our capital city, was a no go area for jewish people . and, you for jewish people. and, you know, we have to ask the question, is this happening
3:16 pm
thing? are we receiving gaslighting from the metropolitan police? because they are worried that if they act in the way they should, okay, they will not be able to control the crowd if it turns nasty? yeah. >> i mean, i think there's a fairly reasonable assumption. i'm just going to put to you what mark rowley , the what mark rowley, the commissioner said and get your reaction to this. so this was 44 minutes ago. he said , we are minutes ago. he said, we are ruthless in tackling anybody who puts a foot over the legal line. but we can't enforce taste or decency. we can enforce the law. maybe events illustrate that some of the legal lines aren't in the right place. so basically saying that their hands are tied i >> well, i believe you had somebody on earlier that commented and said that we have adequate laws in place and campaign against anti—semitism , campaign against anti—semitism, believes we have adequate laws in place . you know, saw in place. you know, we saw somebody waving a flag that looked like an isis flag and the
3:17 pm
police said, oh, no, no, not an isis flag. nothing to worry about here. we believe that was an al—qaeda flag. and the chap who was doing that was abusing jews while he did it. i'm sorry. there are plenty of laws that cover this behaviour. and i come back to my original point. if the met do not feel able to safely enforce these laws and you know i feel for the met, it's a difficult job. then the government needs to do something to ensure that jewish people can be kept safe on the streets of our capital. okay. >> all right. well thank you very much for your time today , very much for your time today, andits very much for your time today, and it's great to chat to you and it's great to chat to you and all the best going fonnard. i'm sure that we'll talk again very, very soon. is stephen silverman there, who is the director of investigations and enforcement campaign against enforcement at campaign against anti—semitism? enforcement at campaign against anti— clearly m? enforcement at campaign against anti— clearly m'sthat the quite clearly is that at the moment, london, which is where these protests are taking place , these protests are taking place, was a no go zone forjews and was a no go zone for jews and that the police force are gaslighting people, ordinary members of the public. do you feel as though were being gaslit

3:27 pm
there. but the idf say their aerial campaign is being made all the more complicated by hamas's cynical use of sensitive civilian sites to place their rocket launchers . they've rocket launchers. they've released aerial photographs which israel says proves that launchers have been placed next to schools as one picture is said to show a launcher highlighted in red next to a kindergarten in others, apparently show launch sites next to a mosque and even a united nations compound that makes israel's attempt to avoid civilian casualties all the more difficult . and despite being difficult. and despite being warned to leave hundreds of thousands of civilians either can't or don't want to leave northern gaza , the hamas northern gaza, the hamas controlled health minister says hundreds of people were killed in strikes over the weekend . and in strikes over the weekend. and with close to 5000 killed since the war began two weeks ago with

and to take out hamas. israel for the military to go in and to take out hamas . indeed, and to take out hamas. indeed, the international community, western nations, whatever they might be saying to israel privately, are very publicly supporting , supporting israel's supporting, supporting israel's need to defend itself. and indeed , it's right to go after indeed, it's right to go after hamas now. >> indeed. and the fact is that what's going on where you are, mark, and the scenes that we are expecting to see in the coming days are spilling out on britain's streets. and our home secretary is saying that she needs answers from the police chiefs here as to why they're not acting and why they're not doing more to cut down on people shouting aboutjihad in the streets. et cetera. so i mean, the fact is, mark, what's going on there is having very on over there is having a very real world impact over here and around europe as isn't it? around europe as well, isn't it? >> yeah, around the world, i think there were more protests in pakistan today and in new delhi as well . people out there delhi as well. people out there voicing ing their anger and
3:32 pm
support for the palestinian people . but sadly, support for the palestinian people. but sadly, in amongst those who are voicing support for the palestinian people and the innocent civilians and what they're going through are those who have absolute hatred in their hearts for israel , for the their hearts for israel, for the jewish people, and that want to see this area, this country turned into a bloodbath and actually for israel to be pushed into the sea, there is no doubt thatis into the sea, there is no doubt that is not representative of everyone who's attending these protests. of course it's not. but there is a sizeable number of people out there who have been voicing pretty disgusting views about the events taking place . and these chants of place. and these chants of jihad. yes it can mean certain things, but there is no doubt that the way it's intended by the people who are shouting it is for , you know, a holy war is for, you know, a holy war effectively against israel, against this nation now.
3:33 pm
>> indeed. and israel has just released footage to a variety of different journalists, unedited body cam footage of the hamas murders to , as they say, prove murders to, as they say, prove the magnitude of the atrocities. how can they deny this is the headune how can they deny this is the headline on this read in there. israel now really seriously going on the information offensive and similar ish information in that we're about to see potentially in the house of commons as well from rishi sunak. we're still waiting for rishi sunak to enter the house of commons. he is expected to discuss mark the bomb ing the blast at that hospital in gaza. it was initially blamed on the israelis, wasn't it? and then potentially now it was either hamas or an offshoot of hamas . hamas or an offshoot of hamas. so this is what we're expecting rishi sunak to say, which. yeah. well, mark, you . well, mark, you. >> yes, that's right. i mean , >> yes, that's right. i mean, first of all, on that screening of . the gopros, the other video

3:39 pm
against israel did not end on the 7th of october. hundred of rockets are launched at their towns and cities every day and hamas still holds around 200 hostages, including british citizens, in jerusalem. i met some of the relatives who are suffering unbearable torment, their pain will stay with me for their pain will stay with me for the rest of my days. i'm doing everything in my power and working with all our partners to get their loved ones home. so in my meetings with prime minister netanyahu and president herzog, itold netanyahu and president herzog, i told them once again that we stand resolutely with israel in defending itself against terror and i stressed again the need to act in line with international humanitarian law and take every possible step to avoid harming civilians . it was a message civilians. it was a message delivered by a close friend and ally. i say it again we stand with israel . mr speaker,
3:40 pm
with israel. mr speaker, i recognise that the palestinian people are suffering terribly . people are suffering terribly. over 4000 palestinians have been killed in this conflict. they are also the victims of hamas who embed themselves in the civilian population . too many civilian population. too many lives have already been lost and the humanitarian crisis is growing . i went to the region to growing. i went to the region to address these issues directly in riyadh, then cairo . i met riyadh, then cairo. i met individually with crown prince mohammed bin salman from saudi arabia , the emir of qatar, arabia, the emir of qatar, sheikh hamad bin hamad al thani , sheikh hamad bin hamad al thani, or president sisi in egypt, an and president abbas of the palestinian authority. these were further to my meetings with the king of jordan last week in calls with other leaders and my right honourable friend, the foreign secretary's extensive travel in the region. ms speaken travel in the region. ms speaker, there are three abiding messages from all of these conversations . the first is that conversations. the first is that
3:41 pm
we must continue working together to get more humanity and support into gaza . the whole and support into gaza. the whole house will welcome the limited opening of the rafah crossing . opening of the rafah crossing. it is important progress and testament to the power of diplomacy . but it testament to the power of diplomacy. but it is testament to the power of diplomacy . but it is not enough . diplomacy. but it is not enough. we need a constant stream of aid pounng we need a constant stream of aid pouring in, bringing the water, food, medicine and fuel that is so desperately needed . so we so desperately needed. so we will keep up the diplomat pressure. we have already committed £10 million of extra support to help civilians in gaza. support to help civilians in gaza . and mr speaker , i can gaza. and mr speaker, i can announce today that we are going further. we are providing an additional £20 million if humanitarian aid to civilians in gaza more than doubling our previous support to the palestinian people . there are palestinian people. there are major logistic, legal and political challenges to delivering this aid, which i discussed with president sisi , discussed with president sisi, my right honourable friend . the my right honourable friend. the development minister is leading an effort to ensure the maximum
3:42 pm
amount of aid is pre—positioned with uk support ready to deliver . we're also working intensively to ensure that british nationals trapped in gaza are able to leave through the rafah crossing when it properly reopens . the when it properly reopens. the second message, mr speaker , is second message, mr speaker, is that this is not a time for hyperbole and simplistic solutions. it is a time for quiet and dogged diplomacy that recognises the hard realities on the ground and delivers help. now and we have an important role to play in all of my meetings, people were clear that they value britain's engagement % they value britain's engagement% the uk's voice matters. we have deep ties across the region , deep ties across the region, ties of defence, trade and investment, but also of history . investment, but also of history. president abbas pointed to that history, not the british mandate in palestine or the balfour declaration , but the uk's declaration, but the uk's efforts over decades to support
3:43 pm
the two state solution . and that the two state solution. and that bnngs the two state solution. and that brings me to my third point, mr speaker , growing attacks by speaker, growing attacks by hezbollah on israel's northern border rise , tensions on the border rise, tensions on the west bank and missiles and drones launched from yemen show that some are seeking escalation . so we need to invest more deeply in regional stability and in the two state solution in last night, i spoke to the leaders of the united states, germany, france, italy and canada . we are all determine to canada. we are all determine to prevent escalation . that's why prevent escalation. that's why i'm deploying raf and royal navy assets monitoring threats to regional security and supporting humanitarian efforts . regional security and supporting humanitarian efforts. mr speaken humanitarian efforts. mr speaker, our support for a two state solution is highly valued across the region. but it can't just be a cliched talking point to roll out at times like this. the truth is that in recent years, energy has moved into other avenues like the abraham
3:44 pm
accords and normalisation talks with saudi arabia . we support with saudi arabia. we support those steps absolutely and believe that they can bolster wider efforts , but we must never wider efforts, but we must never lose sight of how essential the two state solution is . so we'll two state solution is. so we'll work together with our international partners to bring renewed energy and creativity to this effort. it will rely on establishing more effective governance for palestinian territories in gaza and the west bank. it will also mean challenging actions that undercut legitimate aspirations for palestinian statehood . mr for palestinian statehood. mr speaker , hamas care more about speaker, hamas care more about their paymasters in iran than their paymasters in iran than the children they hide behind . the children they hide behind. so let me be clear. there is no scenario where hamas can be allowed to control gaza or any part of the palestinian territory . hamas is not only territory. hamas is not only a threat to israel, but to many others across the region . in all others across the region. in all the leaders i met agree that
3:45 pm
this is a watershed moment. it's time to set the region on a better path . mr speaker, i also better path. mr speaker, i also want to say a word about the tone of the debate . when things tone of the debate. when things are so delicate , we all have a are so delicate, we all have a responsibility to take additional care in the language we use and to operate on the basis of facts alone. the reaction to the horrific explosion at the al ahli arab hospital was a case in point. as i indicated last week, we have taken care to look at all the evidence currently available . mr evidence currently available. mr speaken evidence currently available. mr speaker, i evidence currently available. mr speaken ican evidence currently available. mr speaker, i can now share our assessment with the house on the basis of the deep knowledge and analysis of our intelligence and weapons experts that the british government judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile or part of one that was launched from within gaza to israel . the misreporting of this israel. the misreporting of this incident had a negative effect
3:46 pm
incident had a negative effect in the region , including on in the region, including on a vital us diplomatic effort and on tensions here at home. we need to learn the lessons and ensure that in future there is no rush to judgement. yeah. yeah yeah. yeah. yeah mr speaker, we have seen hate on our streets again this weekend . we all stand again this weekend. we all stand in solidary with the palestinian people . that is the message people. that is the message i brought to president abbas. but we will never tolerate anti semitism in our country . yeah. semitism in our country. yeah. yeah. calls for jihad semitism in our country. yeah. yeah. calls forjihad on our streets are not only a threat to the jewish community, but to our democratic values . and we expect democratic values. and we expect the police to take all necessary action to tackle extremism head on. mr speaker , this is a moment on. mr speaker, this is a moment for great care and caution, but also for moral clarity . hope and also for moral clarity. hope and humanity must win out against the scourge of terrorism and
3:47 pm
aggression. the 7th of october attack was driven by hatred, but it was also driven by hamas's fear that a new equilibrium might be emerging in the middle east, one that would leave old divisions behind and offer hope of a better, more secure, more prosperous way fonnard . it is prosperous way fonnard. it is the same motivation that drives putin's war on ukraine, the fear of ukraine's emergence as a modern, thriving democracy and the desire to pull it back into some imperialist fantasy of the past. putin will fail, and so will hamas . we must keep alive will hamas. we must keep alive that vision of a better future against those who seek to destroy it. together with our partners . that is what we will partners. that is what we will do . and i commend this statement do. and i commend this statement to the house. yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you keir starmer leader of the opposition . the opposition. >> thank you, mr speaker. and i'd like to thank the prime minister for advance copy of his statement. the brutal attack in
3:48 pm
israel just over two weeks ago was the darkest day in jewish history since the holocaust . two history since the holocaust. two weeks of grief for the innocent people who lost brothers , people who lost brothers, sisters, children in two weeks of torture . the for the families of torture. the for the families whose loved ones were taken hostage by hamas , there was a hostage by hamas, there was a small glimmer of light this weekend. the release of two american hostages , natalie and american hostages, natalie and judith rhiannon. i met members of their family last week, and i know that they will be overcome with relief. but hamas still hold hundreds more sons , hold hundreds more sons, daughters, mums, dads still missing in akcent people who could if hamas willed it, be released immediately , but they released immediately, but they remain hostage because hamas want the chaos of war. hamas want the chaos of war. hamas want jews to suffer . hamas want
3:49 pm
want jews to suffer. hamas want the palestinian people to share in the pain because the palestinian people are not their cause for peace, is not their aim. the dignity of human life. jew or muslim, means absolutely nothing to them . and in the nothing to them. and in the light of their barbarism, israel has the right to defend herself . has the right to defend herself. yes, to get their hostages home. but also to defeat hamas . so but also to defeat hamas. so nobody needs suffer like this again . and that we might once again. and that we might once more see a road to a lasting peace. a palestinian state alongside a safe and secure israel . and mr speaker, this israel. and mr speaker, this operation can and must be done within international law. we democracies know that all human life is equal. democracies know that all human life is equal . innocent lives life is equal. innocent lives must be protected. these are the
3:50 pm
principles that differentiate us from the terrorists who target israel . so they must now be israel. so they must now be clear humanitarian corridors with in gaza for those escaping violence s civilians must not be targeted . and where palestinians targeted. and where palestinians are forced to flee, they must not be permanently displaced from their homes. international law is clear . it also means law is clear. it also means basic services, including water, electric city and fuel needed for it cannot be denied . hamas for it cannot be denied. hamas may not care for the safety and security of the palestinian people , but we do . we cannot and people, but we do. we cannot and will not close our eyes to their suffering. gaza is now a humanitarian emergency . there is humanitarian emergency. there is not enough food . clean water is not enough food. clean water is running out . hospitals not enough food. clean water is running out. hospitals are going without medicine and electricity. people feel starving, reduced to drinking,
3:51 pm
contaminated filth , babies lying contaminated filth, babies lying in incubators , beds that could in incubators, beds that could switch off at any moment . the switch off at any moment. the deal struck by the united states to get a flow of trucks through the rafah crossing is an important first step. 20 on saturday and 14 on sunday, but it's nowhere near enough. gaza is not a small town facing a few shortages. it has a population the size of greater manchester, a place even before this devastation where life was a struggle . all gaza needs aid and struggle. all gaza needs aid and it needs to be rapid , safe, it needs to be rapid, safe, unhindered and regular countries able to provide support must step up, including the united kingdom. and so i welcome the increased funding for humanitarian aid that the prime minister has announced this afternoon . the eu has promised afternoon. the eu has promised to treble humanitarian aid and the us has appointed a special
3:52 pm
coordinator for international aid to gaza. so i ask if the prime minister can commit to the same because britain must stand ready to ensure aid gets to the right places to deploy british experts and medical support teams and to work with international partners to give un agencies the resources they need for the long term . because, need for the long term. because, mr speaker , there is a long term mr speaker, there is a long term , even as we stand by israel in her fight against hamas, our eyes must also look to the future for a future where israeli citizens live free from the fear of terrorist attacks and a future for the palestinian people. where they and their children enjoy the freedoms and opportunities that we take for granted . for too long, we've granted. for too long, we've talked about a two state solution and the dignity and justice of a palestinian state
3:53 pm
alongside a safe and secure israel without a serious path or will to make it happen. and for too long we have allowed welcome progress in improving relations between israel and her neighbours to sit without any progress on the future for palestine and its people. that must change. we stand with israel and her right to defend herself against the terrorists of hamas. we stand for international law. the protection of innocent lives , protection of innocent lives, humanitarian support for the palestinians and we do so because we stand for a political path to a two state solution and a better future . these are dark a better future. these are dark days , but the light must never days, but the light must never go out. we must not let it. thank you , mr speaker. prime thank you, mr speaker. prime minister , i thank you, mr speaken >> and can i thank the leader of the opposition for his
3:54 pm
constructive comments and his support on just to recap on humanitarian aid by by announcing an additional £20 million today, we will be doubung million today, we will be doubling our aid to the region, which is already one of the most leading contributions of any country in the world. my development minister will remind me. but around 10% of the un mission in the region is funded by uk contribution missions. most of our aid is funnelled through them. it's also worth beanng through them. it's also worth bearing in mind that president sisi specifically commended the efforts of the uk along side the us in ensuring that the rafah crossing could be open and functioning, a testament to the work of our team and the development minister and foreign secretary. we on the ground. i can also say in response to the opposition's question with regard to the un, the development minister is in close contact on an almost daily basis with martin griffiths, the head of the un's humanitarian relief efforts to ensure that the uk
3:55 pm
can play a leading role in supporting what is happening on the ground. there are considerable logistical challenges in getting the aid to the people who need it and those are areas where we can make a difference, particularly around el—arish villages , tickle hub, el—arish villages, tickle hub, where supplies are moving to. and i can confirm that the development minister will tomorrow lay a written ministerial statement setting out further details of the increase in humanitarian aid that we've announced today . but that we've announced today. but in closing, mr speaker, i concur with what the leader of the opposition said in my remarks earlier. there is an absolutely a future available to us, which is a future more prosperous, more stable for people living in this region where people can live with dignity , with security live with dignity, with security and with opportunity . and that and with opportunity. and that is the future that hamas is trying to destroy . and we should trying to destroy. and we should stand united to stop that from happening. so julian lewis, thank you , mr speaker. thank you, mr speaker. >> okay. so that is the house of commons now. rishi sunak spoke
3:56 pm
followed by sir keir starmer. i will just summarise what we heard from both the prime minister the leader of the minister and the leader of the opposition. rishi sunak inaya said that £20 million worth of humanitarian aid will be given to gaza . he expressed his to gaza. he expressed his concern for the plight of the people living there. he also went on to say that as indeed 4000 residents have lost their lives in the last couple of weeks, he blames hamas for that and not israel for embedding themselves within the civilian population. he also says that the british government judges that the hospital explosion in gaza was likely caused by a missile or part of a missile launched from within gaza . he launched from within gaza. he said that misreporting of the incident had had a negative impact. several news outlets decided to immediately jump to the conclusion that this was an israeli airstrike that had killed people at a hospital in gaza. he killed people at a hospital in gaza . he says that was wrong gaza. he says that was wrong based on british intelligence and that had a very dangerous
3:57 pm
and that had a very dangerous and negative impact on the world. he calls for jihad on the streets of britain to be banned and says that they are a threat to our democratic values. that follows a weekend where there were numerous calls for jihad on the streets of britain, with people holding banners calling for muslim the for muslim armies. the metropolitan said that metropolitan police said that under law, under the current law, remarkably, that illegal. remarkably, that is not illegal. keir starmer then went on to say that hamas want jews to suffer and they also want the palestinian people to suffer and to share in the they do to share in the pain. they do not human life at all. not care for human life at all. he israel has a right he said that israel has a right to defend itself, but within international law and they also have ensure that have a right to ensure that hamas defeated this hamas is defeated and this attack happen again. attack can never happen again. he also, though, to call for he did also, though, to call for israel to keep things like the electricity and the water supply flowing into gaza , which will be flowing into gaza, which will be controversial because a lot of israelis and commentators in that region say that in doing so, you are helping to keep hamas in power quite literally. let's go to henry bolton now.
3:58 pm
he's been sitting on the line for us for quite a while. international security and border control expert on henry. thank you very much. you just sat through that there then. what did you make of that? i suppose the standout line is that british government does that the british government does believe at believe that that explosion at a hospital gaza was caused by hospital in gaza was caused by a rocket fired within gaza rocket fired from within gaza itself. reporting of itself. and that reporting of that incident, misreporting of that incident, misreporting of that incident, misreporting of that incident dangerous that incident was dangerous indeed, patrick. >> i mean , there were a number >> i mean, there were a number of, i think, very important int main messages that came out from the prime minister and that was one them . one of them. >> myself and i've talked to a number of former military colleagues and we all agree when we saw the impact crater of , of we saw the impact crater of, of that projectile, none of us believed that that could possibly be from an air delivered system, i.e. from an aircraft. >> this was not an israeli weapon . the question was where weapon. the question was where did it come from ? and now we've did it come from? and now we've heard the british response to that. and i agree. i mean, you know, we saw the a response and this is important, i think a
3:59 pm
response from certain news channels around the world that followed the hamas line. now there is a perception amongst there is a perception amongst the public and some in the media that hamas is the government in gaza. it is has been since 2006. but that therefore it has some legitimacy. it does not. it is a terrorist organisation . an and terrorist organisation. an and i you know, i it's whilst this whole thing has been playing out dunng whole thing has been playing out during your program today, patrick, i've, i'm conscious of the fact it brings back memories for me quite vivid memories of actually dealing with these sort of incidents on the ground . and of incidents on the ground. and i'm afraid you know, there's a great deal of naivety amongst maybe othennise well—meaning people who are supporting the palestinian cause and hamas. they just simply don't understand what's going on here. and i think a lot of media commentators fell foul of that in simply taking the hamas line.
4:00 pm
absolutely. granted it's very serious what the prime minister said. >> yeah. can i just ask you this? £20 million worth of aid. henry. henry it's £20 million worth of aid that rishi sunak has announced for gaza. a lot of scepticism online about that already from people saying, well, you might as well just give hamas £20 million. is it as simple as that ? simple as that? >> is ? >> is? >> is? >> it's not obviously quite as simple as that. but again , simple as that. but again, people have talked about the israeli siege or blockade . but israeli siege or blockade. but the reality is israel has controlled a great deal not what comes across from the rafah crossing , which comes from crossing, which comes from egypt, but everything else is controlled by what goes controlled by egypt. what goes into the gaza. but once it gets into the gaza. but once it gets into gaza, it is controlled by hamas. yes, the united nations works relief agency and others have some influence over it. but in reality , it goes into the in reality, it goes into the hamas system , building supplies, hamas system, building supplies, medical supplies , fuel, food, medical supplies, fuel, food, water. they distribute it. they
4:01 pm
are responsible for it because they they control everything. and you are putting it into the hands of their war effort. so one of the things that britain and america and crucially in this, the egyptians as well as the israelis and so on, are very keen to ensure is that nothing goes into gaza unless it can be ensured that it doesn't fall into the hands of hamas, thereby not actually helping people, but helping to perpetuate it. the gaza the hamas war effort and increasing the complexity of this war and thereby civilian casualties. so there's a whole lot of complexity here. and if i may, if you've got the moment, patrick, the prime minister and the leader of the opposition, keir starmer, both mentioned the two state solution. it is crucial going fonnard, but one of the things i would say loud and clear, there can be no peace in the middle east and no. two state solution as long as hamas exists . that's why the prime exists. that's why the prime minister is absolutely correct. and i think maybe he's come of age in this speech. it was a good speech. it is so important
4:02 pm

4:10 pm
latest between israel latest ongoings between israel and hamas. not least that rishi sunak has now come out and said that our position nation is that our position as a nation is that our position as a nation is that the rocket that hit a hospital in gaza killing, however many people last week was actually fired from within gaza and that misreporting of this incident, including by the bbc, actually inflamed tensions. our political editor, christopher hope joins us now. christopher, thank you very, very much. what do you make of what said there in the house what was said there in the house of commons? strong stuff from rishi which way, rishi sunak, which by the way, included £20 million worth of aid gaza . aid to the people of gaza. >> that's right. so £10 million last week. patrick, in extra aid. now, on top of that, 20 million more, that's 30 million in total. that's more than we did. more than the 27 million we did. more than the 27 million we did before this conflict broke out in the previous 12 months. so clearly, that's a narrative that will carry on, i think, as we go fonnard from this point. but the key moment there in this statement from the pm just now from him saying from rishi sunak was him saying very that this missile
4:11 pm
from rishi sunak was him saying very hit that this missile from rishi sunak was him saying very hit the 1at this missile from rishi sunak was him saying very hit the hospitalnissile from rishi sunak was him saying very hit the hospital last le from rishi sunak was him saying very hit the hospital last week which hit the hospital last week and with such devastating loss of life, was likely caused by a missile that was launched from within towards israel. so within gaza towards israel. so and the problem he's making is the misreporting at the time that it was probably an israeli rocket led to the cancellation of those key meetings between president biden and other arab leaders in the region in flamed tensions in the uk. and it shows how important we've got to be as all of journalism, not just the bbc, all of journalists, to report these things accurately. no, indeed. >> world >> i mean, real world consequences for people consequences there for people completely swallowing what was absolute hamas absolute out and out hamas propaganda. see propaganda. when people see things palestinian things like the palestinian health have to health authority, they have to understand that is hamas. understand that that is hamas. and a lot of and unfortunately, a lot of people don't seem to do that. i was actually sent an image by the reporting apparently on the bbc as well of the statement in the commons that again, described hamas as a militant group and not, of course , a group and not, of course, a terror group, which i think will enrage people. they don't appear to be budging on that. and
4:12 pm
suella braverman christopher wasn't speaking in the commons then, but did say that she wants answers from the metropolitan police, didn't she, because of scenes that we saw at the weekend of people calling for jihad in britain of banners there with with muslim armies, etcetera , and actually people etcetera, and actually people being accosted for having the saint george's flag . they were saint george's flag. they were approached by police and threatened with arrest. but other people, it didn't seem worse. she wants answers . worse. she wants answers. >> yeah, there's been a meeting today. patrick of the jewish community crime policing and security task force , a meeting security task force, a meeting that wasn't planned. an extraordinary one because there's been a big uptick in anti—semitism attacks since the hamas on israel . all hamas attack on israel. all we've heard from mark rowley, who's the met police chief, he's saying that these hate crime laws probably need to be need redrawing because no crime was committed on taste grounds. appalling. but according to the police, the met police no actual crime was committed. so the tension here now is what will
4:13 pm
number 10 do next? now, we were told this morning that they have no plans to redraw these these these these these these rules to give them more plans to try and take on extremist chants . but take on extremist chants. but you wonder why can you might wonder why you can shout language shout jihad and other language and that dreadful expression there the to the sea, there from the river to the sea, palestine be free, which is palestine will be free, which is basically for the basically a call for the destruction of israel. why that can the british can happen on the british streets, other streets, but other other other incidents are punished at incidents are not punished at all. seems strange , but it all. it seems strange, but it does seem strange. >> absolutely. look christopher, thank very as thank you very, very much. as christopher hoped there, our political editor from westminster. back westminster. we'll be going back to when we to christopher as and when we get developments there is get any developments there is a clip here for if you've not clip here for you. if you've not seen already it seen it already or heard it already, of some of the chanting that place the weekend that took place over the weekend in is a group of in london. this is a group of people who were calling for jihad streets of britain. jihad on the streets of britain. let's the let's play the clip. >> is the solution to >> what is the solution to liberate in the constant liberate people in the constant camp on palestine jihad ? what is camp on palestine jihad? what is the solution . the solution. >> jihad . jihad >> jihad. jihad >> jihad. jihad
4:14 pm
>> okay. so that's a group called hizb ut tahrir. >> okay. so that's a group called hizb ut tahrir . they are called hizb ut tahrir. they are not a proscribed terrorist organisation, although i understand that in some countries they are on a watch list . they are countries they are on a watch list. they are an international pan—islamist and islamic fundamentalist political organisation whose stated aim is the establishment of an islamic caliphate . your eyes did not caliphate. your eyes did not deceive you there. if you're watching us on tv or online, if you're listening on radio, i'll talk you through it. there was indeed a bright orange banner there. whilst people are calling for calling muslim for jihad, calling for muslim armies to unite the metropolitan police is response to that was to say that they had specialist counter—terror operatives within that rally there and they were of the view that the word jihad can mean several different things, although they understand that people commonly that most people will commonly associate with terrorism and associate it with terrorism and that nothing untoward happened there. so there was that incident. there was also an incident. there was also an incident of an lgbtq+ flag being torn down. there was an incident as well of a tube driver calling
4:15 pm
for people to chant free, free palestine on the london underground. none of this has been dealt with by the metropolitan police. it appears none of it has been dealt with by british transport police, and it led to a lot of people it has led to a lot of people wondering what on earth are they for, especially when people can be for saying things be prosecuted for saying things like they don't want men in women's changing rooms. it does appear that there is a difference in the way that we police situations like this. the other concern, i think, for many people is where are those people coming up and condemning that? it's and good it's all very well and good saying you can go out on saying that you can go out on the streets demonstrate to the streets and demonstrate to be pro—palestine and anti any humanitarian disasters in that region. that is one thing. but where groups of people where are the groups of people condemning for condemning those calling for jihad on the streets of britain ? jihad on the streets of britain? but i am joined now by ofri bibas levy's brother , who's bibas levy's brother, who's sorry, whose brother sister in law and niece and nephew are being held hostage by hamas. thank you very much for joining

4:18 pm
within gaza itself. almost definitely fired from within gaza itself . and that within gaza itself. and that misreporting of that incident at the time had a negative impact to world affairs. keir starmer then stood up and said that for his part, he thinks that israel also has the right to defend herself within international law. that they should be law. but that they should be keeping electricity and the keeping the electricity and the water supply to gaza going. i think can now go back to think we can now go back to offering . we can sorry about offering. we can sorry about some issues with the sound there. do you want to the israeli government to launch a ground offensive now or do you feel like your relatives are safer without that taking place . safer without that taking place. >> um, i want my family back. i'm not a politician. i'm not an army person. i don't know what's the right way to do it. i just want my family back as soon as possible. and i want to keep as many people safe doing the return . and i don't want any return. and i don't want any other civilians. and on either side . um. other civilians. and on either side. um. continue other civilians. and on either side . um. continue being killed side. um. continue being killed or getting hurt. uh, just want
4:19 pm
my family back. how do you feel about some of the protest that took place at the weekend near where you are in westminster ? where you are in westminster? >> esther was that particularly difficult for you, giving everything your family is going through at the moment. >> yes. i think a lot of people, um , shoutjihad and free um, shout jihad and free palestine and they don't really know what that means and they have to understand that hamas is a terrorist organisation like isis. it's not a political party. then they're not doing anything good for the palestine people and the people living in the gaza strip, and they're just doing harm . and so supporting doing harm. and so supporting them is it's not it's not supporting the civilian in the gaza strip. it's supporting terror, it's supporting , um, all terror, it's supporting, um, all the horrible acts they did last saturday. people people should do some homework before starting
4:20 pm
to scream jihad. and all those kind of stuff . i to scream jihad. and all those kind of stuff. i think to scream jihad. and all those kind of stuff . i think they kind of stuff. i think they don't understand what what it exactly means. they are supporting terror and so it's very upsetting, i think, for me. and it should it should be worried and upsetting for all the citizens of britain, because it happened in israel. it can happen anywhere . so this is an happen anywhere. so this is an islamic radical movement . um, islamic radical movement. um, and i think you should be worried as well . worried as well. >> do you think people in this country don't understand what they're supporting when they go out on the streets and say that they are showing solidarity with they are showing solidarity with the palestinian people? that's quite often that doesn't actually mean simply that they are just showing solidarity with the people of palestine, that there's a bit more to it than that. i think what i meant is i think they can support the innocent people in gaza suffering from the hamas being
4:21 pm
being like in control there. >> but they should not support the hamas. they should not support the jihad supporting them is supporting is supporting terrorists . it's not supporting terrorists. it's not supporting the civilians over there. they should they should make a difference between the two things. as well. >> can i just say thank you very much? and obviously, we all wish you all the best for your family . a deeply distressing and concerning situation that i hope manages to resolve itself as quickly as possible . and please quickly as possible. and please do. we'll stay in touch and it would be nice to chat to you again. hopefully we can have some better news as well as ofri bibas there, whose bibas levy there, whose relatives very much take care whose currently whose relatives are currently being hostage by hamas. being held hostage by hamas. fascinating to get her views as well. i think of those incidents that we've been seeing over the weekend, more on this weekend, but loads more on this story on our website. go to gbnews.com. it's the fastest gb news.com. it's the fastest growing news in growing national news website in the country. it's got the best analysis, and the analysis, big opinion and the latest news. but look, latest breaking news. but look, israel has shown graphic bodycam footage hamas terror atrocity footage of hamas terror atrocity

4:26 pm
six till 930. >> welcome back. it is 4:26. you're watching or listening to me. patrick christys on gb news. a little later this hour, i will tell you why prince harry is a huge hypocrite. not not for that reason or the other reason or the other reason. no, it's a different reason. but a three people have also escaped from a suffolk jail on the same day. there they are. these three people apparently are on the run . so i'm asking, do you open pnsons . so i'm asking, do you open prisons work? mean, the answer prisons work? i mean, the answer was strongly hinted at no. i think , isn't it? but there we think, isn't it? but there we go. prime minister rishi sunak, though, that uk will though, says that the uk will provide £20 provide an additional £20 million humanitarian million worth of humanitarian aid in gaza . but aid to civilians in gaza. but there are logistical and political challenges in providing support in the region. it comes as a third convoy of aid trucks have been seen entering the rafah crossing from egypt bound for gaza. meanwhile the israeli military says that 222 people are now being held hostage in the gaza strip . to hostage in the gaza strip. to get more on the very latest, let's cross to our reporter mark
4:27 pm
white, who is in tel aviv. mark rishi sunak has just spoken here in house of commons, saying in the house of commons, saying they're more aid. they're going to get more aid. yes. the people of gaza. but yes. for the people of gaza. but he's also saying that absolutely israel our full backing. israel has our full backing. what's the latest where you are ? what's the latest where you are? >> yes. and also reiterating thing what we've heard from the likes of the united states and canada about that strike, or at least explosion at a hospital in gaza that was reported by hamas to have been an israeli missile strike, absolutely denied by israel. and now rishi sunak saying that uk analysis of what happened suggests that it was a rocket fired from gaza, that either went astray or broke up somehow and exploded over that hospital. so that is an important out intervention and finding from the uk government
4:28 pm
as i say, it supports what israel has claimed it won't be enough for many though that just won't believe whatever for either israel, the us or the uk government says with regard to this, as far as today is concerned, patrick, it has been another day after a quiet start actually of about 14 hours of no rockets coming across from gaza. then multiple rocket barrages hitting the areas around the gaza strip, also southern israel and even in the north, not from gaza this time, but drones that had come down from southern lebanon likely set off from hezbollah . hezbollah. >> thank you very much, mark white there, who is in tel aviv for us. look, i'm just going to bnng for us. look, i'm just going to bring it back closer to home now and talk to the daily telegraph columnist allison pearson, who's responded these countless responded to these countless anti—semitic responded to these countless anti—sem setting up the british month by setting up the british friends of israel. around 200 people, including dame maureen
4:29 pm
lipman , are lipman and rachel riley, are part group. allison part of this group. and allison says that she in support says that she stands in support of jews and their rights of british jews and their rights to their lives . i actually to live their lives. i actually more fascinated equally fascinated, allison, by your calls to stand up for, as you calls to stand up for, as you call it, civilisation. i was looking around at the weekend and i was wondering whether or not we'd lost civilisation in britain. your views . britain. your views. >> crikey, you know how to throw a girl. an easy question, don't you, patrick? >> um . >> um. >> um. >> i think that the declaration that we have set up not just me, actually, it was from laura dodsworth who gb news viewers will be familiar with, toby young of the free speech union and emma webb of gb news. >> in fact. >> in fact. >> and we were looking at these protests, the pro palestinian protests, the pro palestinian protests, which which started before the israeli bodies from the massacres had been recovered, let alone identified with all the pain which we've
4:30 pm
just seen. >> offred, whose brother is missing with the two tiny babies . so all that pain and think .so all that pain and think what we wanted to do is we wanted to reflect the views of millions of british people who stand by british jews and who don't want british jews to be living in fear in our country. and we have seen an increase in anti—semitic attacks in the uk of 1,350, compared to this penod of 1,350, compared to this period last year. so, yes , i do period last year. so, yes, i do think that what hamas did was barbarism , absolutely barbarism, absolutely disgusting. we've got the israeli security forces releasing today body cam footage taken by these gleeful monsters on of their atrocious acts against children, women, elderly people . so, yes, i think we are people. so, yes, i think we are fighting barbarism. and i think that the civilised world has to swing in behind israel . so this swing in behind israel. so this october declaration an we
4:31 pm
unequivocally condemn those acts of terrorism and we also condemn the acts of anti—semitism, which we're seeing on our streets in the united kingdom , the united kingdom, unfortunately. but we also , unfortunately. but we also, patrick, we also want the media to start calling hamas what they should be called, which is terrorists . if they're not terrorists. if they're not terrorists, who is ? terrorists, who is? >> yeah, the bbc didn't do it again today whilst they were in the house of commons today discussing the explosion at a hospital . well, and everything hospital. well, and everything else as well . and rishi sunak is else as well. and rishi sunak is calling hamas terrorists and keir starmer is calling them terrorists. bbc have settled on militants as well , which is militants as well, which is rather nice of them. i also couldn't help but notice , couldn't help but notice, alison, that there are people in the media like adil ray, who rocks up every now and again on good morning britain, really cushy job that in the legacy media who came out in media isn't it, who came out in defence of using the word jihad on the streets of britain and i just wondered alison there's a strange british media strange thing in british media at the moment where if you fail to word jihad the
4:32 pm
to condemn the word jihad on the streets , you can work at good streets, you can work at good morning britain, but if you're openly tory, you're openly voting tory, you're probably backside, probably out on your backside, aren't well, that's part of >> yes. well, that's part of what's motivated us as well with british friends of israel. viewers can support our declaration at british friends of israel.org. but there is this bias. i think we can say it quite clearly a heavy bias in the media against israel. they had a very brief period where we were allowed to feel sorry for israel because of all the beheaded children. but now it's back to business as usual and being much more sorry for the people of gaza, who it has to be said hamas, in its atrocious, monstrous attacks on israel, has brought this has brought this retaliation on about. and yeah, we i mean the attack on the hospital patrick as you say a reporter on the bbc said quite confidently that israel must have been responsible for this attack in which 500 people were killed . the hospital doesn't killed. the hospital doesn't seem to have been blown up at
4:33 pm
all. and we hear that 20 people were killed in the car park. um, so there's some very , very dodgy so there's some very, very dodgy reporting going on and it is very , very pro—palestinian , i very, very pro—palestinian, i would say. but we have had a fantastic support over 200 famous signatories , including famous signatories, including sir tom stoppard, sir tim rice, vanessa feltz , rachel riley, a vanessa feltz, rachel riley, a host of professors, professor richard dawkins , amazing people richard dawkins, amazing people from the media. and we have today had almost 20,000 signatures added to the declaration. patrick and we've got some big names which will be announcing later on today very big names joining saying that we will not put up we will not have jews in our country living in fear. we've had stories of a lady called sorry , very, very quickly. >> very quickly on this. very, very quickly on this. go on. give me one of the names. >> um, we can't can't say the big names . we've got people .

4:35 pm
one that was launched from within gaza toward israel . the within gaza toward israel. the misreporting of this incident had a negative effect in the region, including on a vital us diplomat effort and on tensions here at home. we need to learn the lessons and ensure that in future there is no rush to judgement and also in the news, the met police commissioner has told the home secretary today that the government may need to toughen up the law on hate crime and terrorism. >> that is after sir mark rowley met with suella braverman to discuss the force's decision not to arrest protesters calling for jihad against israel at demonstrations over the weekend. more on all those stories by heading to our website gbnews.com . gbnews.com. >> so the use of open prisons
4:36 pm
has come under the spotlight after not one, not two, but three men escaped from a jail on the same day . joshua terry, levi the same day. joshua terry, levi mitchell and aiden mcginnis all went missing from hollesley bay pnson went missing from hollesley bay prison in suffolk on saturday, and the police has warned the pubuc and the police has warned the public not to approach any of those men. if you're watching us on tv or online, you'll be able to see their mug shots. now, terry was jailed for affray, threatening a person with a blade or sharply pointed article in a public place and theft. i'm joined now by former prison governor vanessa fray. vanessa thank you very much. some people have always been quite sceptical about concept open about the concept of open prisons. they right at i'm prisons. are they right at i'm really . really sorry. >> i have no sound . >> i have no sound. >> i have no sound. >> oh, okay. well, we'll have to go back to vanessa. unfortunately once we've sorted that issue out. but let me just run you through that story. it is a remarkable turn of events that one individual absconded early word early doors on saturday. word clearly got around at that pnson clearly got around at that prison and then two other gentlemen they were gentlemen decided that they were going to leave as well. so they
4:37 pm
have now wandered out. and that is the very latest . you'll be is the very latest. you'll be able see their on your able to see their faces on your screens. if you're watching screens. now, if you're watching us tv, that's joshua terry, us on tv, that's joshua terry, levi mitchell aiden levi mitchell and aiden mcguinness, went missing mcguinness, who all went missing from bay prison in from hollesley bay prison in suffolk saturday. going suffolk on saturday. i'm going to into the world of my to delve into the world of my inbox now. vaiews@gbnews.com. arthur's on now. there's arthur's been on now. there's been quite a lot for you to get your teeth stuck into so far. today we're talking about calls of the streets of of jihad on the streets of britain. the police saying that didn't really matter here at all. also what rishi sunak all. and also what rishi sunak has had to say there in the house of commons them house of commons about them being that being pretty convinced that hamas terror group hamas are a terror group linked to were ones to hamas were the ones responsible for that hospital blast in israel. arthur says. patrick, this uk is patrick, what a mess this uk is in. know, two world wars, in. you know, two world wars, millions of dead for what? for this a country we no longer recognise and a government that can't govern. those are arthur's views . and there's a lot of this views. and there's a lot of this coming in at the moment. i don't understand why people in this country don't respect our culture, sheila. thank culture, says sheila. thank you very sheila that. yeah
4:38 pm
very much. sheila for that. yeah a heck of a lot of this coming in right now. a lot of anger about the actions that were taking place over the course of the week. and i believe we might be able to go back now to vanessa frake, former prison governor. yes, we are. so open prisons. were about prisons. we were talking about three people legged three people have legged it from one in same day. one prison in the same day. apparently, we're being told, don't approach them. if you see them street. what do open them on the street. what do open pnsons them on the street. what do open prisons like now ? prisons work like now? >> that's the $64,000 question, isn't it, patrick? >> i think, you know, open prisons, have a have a place in society the same as a category . society the same as a category. a prison has you with prisoners who are serving sentences. >> you need to prepare them for their release . their release. >> and that is the job of an open prison. i mean, you 3 in 1 day, i grant is pretty unusual. but if they if they you know , g but if they if they you know, g up together and decide to go together. well you know there's very little you can do about that. i will say, though , that that. i will say, though, that hollesley bay has got an
4:39 pm
excellent track record. i think in their last inspectorate report, they had something like 15,000 temporary releases over the course of 12 months and only loss well lost absconded a handful of prisoners. now that is a really good way to look at it. you know , i understand that it. you know, i understand that the police are very sceptical about prisons and about prisoners who abscond . but, you prisoners who abscond. but, you know, in a in a prison environment, these these guys are low level criminals. yes. well, yeah. let me i'll run through i'll yeah , just for through i'll yeah, just for a little bit of context, i'll give the i'll give the rap sheet . the i'll give the rap sheet. >> yeah i'll give, i'll give that, i'll give their rap sheet here. right. so we've got one individual who terry is serving two years and four months for affray, threatening a person with a blade in a public place. theft we've also got another chap here. multiple burglary offences and then another one who is again theft, fraud,
4:40 pm
possession of a controlled drug of class b, so none of them are rapists or murderers or terrorists. so i get that. and i just wonder whether or not an open prison is a deterrent at all. i mean, clearly, this lot do not fear getting caught, do they? othennise you wouldn't have left. i mean, they can't have left. i mean, they can't have had that long left to serve anyway. well you wouldn't have thought so. >> i mean, i don't know all the ins and outs and don't know ins and outs and i don't know whether there any triggers ins and outs and i don't know wheimay:here any triggers ins and outs and i don't know wheimay have any triggers ins and outs and i don't know wheimay have made ny triggers ins and outs and i don't know wheimay have made them ggers ins and outs and i don't know wheimay have made them abscond that may have made them abscond and can i just clarify that they absconded from prison, they didn't escape. and abscond is when they walk out of a jail on temporary release, they don't return. and there is a it is an actual criminal offence not to comply with the release of your temporary release conditions. so actually when they are returned to prison and they'll go back to a closed prison and put themselves back quite severely , themselves back quite severely, they can actually be taken to
4:41 pm
court and get another two years on top . yeah. so you know , it's on top. yeah. so you know, it's not all good news for them . they not all good news for them. they may think that, you know , may think that, you know, walking out of a jail is all great and brave, but actually it's not there are going to be consequences of that. and the police will catch up with them. but do i do think it's important to state that, you know, open pnsons to state that, you know, open prisons in this country? do have a place and they have a place for those prisoners who do conform and who do go on to be released into society. and lead law abiding and useful lives. and that is what we want as a as a society . a society. >> and vanessa, thank you very much , as ever. great to chat to much, as ever. great to chat to you. vanessa freight, there is a former prison governor. so, yes , former prison governor. so, yes, maybe not so much of a jailhouse shock for a lot of people who think that open prisons and the ability to go out into the community and being trusted to come might some ways come back might in some ways pose an absorption risk , which pose an absorption risk, which indeedit
4:42 pm
pose an absorption risk, which indeed it has. but prince harry says cares about the says that he cares about the environment . so where was he environment. so where was he yesterday? that's right. formula one grand prix. yes of course he was. harry's accused there was. harry's been accused there of eco hypocrisy . and find out of eco hypocrisy. and find out why king charles never throws away cake. patrick christys gb news, britain's news channel
4:46 pm
sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news. >> welcome back for 46. you're watching or listening to me, patrick christys on gb news and those are, of course, scenes that grip the capital city over the weekend , no doubt, quite the weekend, no doubt, quite possibly coming to a town or city near you as well. should this be allowed? it's one thing to do them, it's another thing to do them, it's another thing to have chance of jihad on the streets of britain, call for muslim armies, lgbtq+ flags being ripped down as well. where is the condemnation there ? and is the condemnation there? and it has led me to ask, is this really all just about palestine? is this really all just about the human rights of people in palestine? i'm not sure it is, but i want to hear your views. vaiews@gbnews.com. do you feel feel unsafe on the streets? but at 5:00 i will have all of the fallout from that protest that you were just hearing me talk about there. people filmed chanting jihad. but in the meantime, prince harry says that he environment. he cares about the environment. so yesterday? so where was he yesterday? that's obviously that's right. obviously a formula one grand harry formula one grand prix. harry went is surely the most went to what is surely the most environmentally unfriendly
4:47 pm
sports . in texas, it sports in austin. in texas, it comes after harry and meghan took a private jet to a canbbean took a private jet to a caribbean island earlier this month where billionaires go to escape millionaires. it's all coming up. harry at the moment, isn't it? so we're going lead isn't it? so we're going to lead him with one that i'm going him with that one that i'm going to you about. why? king to talk to you about. why? king charles never throws cake. charles never throws away cake. but first, commentator but first, royal commentator michael joins me now. michael cole joins me now. michael, much. michael cole joins me now. mic harry, much. michael cole joins me now. mic harry, being much. michael cole joins me now. mic harry, being an much. michael cole joins me now. mic harry, being an nut,:h. michael cole joins me now. mic harry, being an nut, of so, harry, being an eco nut, of course, has decided that the best way to express his desire to save planet is to go to a to save the planet is to go to a place that helps kill it. >> patrick, this is a classic case of don't do as i do . do as case of don't do as i do. do as i say, as you've said, hypocrisy, rank , hypocrisy, even hypocrisy, rank, hypocrisy, even royal hypocrite . see, with royal royal hypocrite. see, with royal on. i mean, it is hard to think of a less eco friendly event than formula one racing and there we have prince harry in there we have prince harry in the mercedes garage taking a great interest huggermugger there he is with the boss of red
4:48 pm
bull racing. of course , he's bull racing. of course, he's always loved speed. >> i think there were go faster stripes on his pram when he was a baby and of course he's reverted to it. >> what i'm interested in seeing is that none of the of the stop oil mob were there . oil mob were there. >> or perhaps they've worked out that texas is the oil state and if they tried any of their little tricks there, they would have found the texans a lot less friendly and polite than the metropolitan police. but as you say, it gets worse because having attended an eco conference in new york, harry and meghan then took a private french private jet out to saint vincent and the grenadines to have a holiday. i mean, really , have a holiday. i mean, really, if you are going to espouse these causes and it's perfectly right and proper that you should be able to do so, you've got to live by it. you know, practise what you preach was the old saying, yeah, yeah. >> but it's because there's not an emergency. michael this is the thing. anyone who really
4:49 pm
thinks that there is an actual emergency does not get private jets to islands where billionaires millionaires billionaires escape millionaires , does not go and watch formula one does not live the kind of lifestyle that these people lead. anyone thinks lead. right. anyone who thinks that a pressing that there is such a pressing climate emergency that we all need take really and need to take really urgent and drastic action does not behave in the way that they behave. it's almost like, dare i say it, this is just virtue signalling. but surely prince harry must have known that going to formula one would have chimed negative with his his eco outlook. do you think maybe it's just a networking event for him because that's where other rich people go . uh don't that's where other rich people go. uh don't think that's where other rich people go . uh don't think that would be go. uh don't think that would be primary in his, his mind. >> i think he's interested in the sport . but why then espouse the sport. but why then espouse these, these credentials , these these, these credentials, these eco credentials? perhaps they don't even care. perhaps they don't even care. perhaps they don't even care. perhaps they don't even think what we think of them anymore. perhaps they're beyond caring because it does leave them open wide open to the charge of hypocrisy. and it's
4:50 pm
really hard for them to refute it. i can't understand it. i think what they say about the environment might be worth listening to, but i'm not listening to, but i'm not listening . i'm not prepared to listening. i'm not prepared to listening. i'm not prepared to listen to somebody who doesn't practise they preach. but practise what they preach. but just what we should do just tells us what we should do in our little lives while they do what they like. at 24,000ft in a private jet. >> well , not quite, michael. >> well, not quite, michael. just onto the kingdom . so king just onto the kingdom. so king charles is apparently on a mission to kerb his personal food waste by eating slices of the same cake each day as radical stuff. this michael apparently apparently he has a no chuck policy on most foods to try to cut back on waste . i try to cut back on waste. i think that's true . think that's true. >> well, perhaps he uses the last slices as the basis of a trifle or trifles. always very popular dessert in the royal family, at least when they're home enjoying themselves. yeah the king wants to stamp out food waste. well, isn't that a good
4:51 pm
idea? and that's going to be one of the campaigns for his 75th birthday next month . i mean, birthday next month. i mean, when we were children, if our mothers were thinking. right, they said to us, eat up your food because there are children starving in africa and perhaps we even listen to that. but i have to tell you , patrick, it's have to tell you, patrick, it's harder than you might think. i was the a main board director of a company and we tried very, very hard to give away food that we hadn't sold at the end of the day, very high class food, and it was almost impossible. local government authorities and then brussels rules prevented us from feeding the homeless of london with which had been on sale . with which had been on sale. >> i've got i've got to be honest, michael. i've got to be honest, michael. i've got to be honest with you. all you would have had to have done is knock on my door and i would have found human dustbin for you to found a human dustbin for you to have food that you have pumped any food that you like in there. michael you like in there. michael thank you very michael cole, the very much. michael cole, the royal commentator, a friend of the friend of channel. the show, friend of the channel. take right now, i've just

>> good evening. it's 5 pm. it's patrick christys. it's gb news. now, should we ban use of the word jihad on the streets of britain? i'm asking because of this islamic jihad meaning love? yes. calls for jihad this islamic jihad meaning love? yes. calls forjihad on the yes. calls for jihad on the streets of britain and muslim armies. but of course , our armies. but of course, our metropolitan police caved in, didn't they? did they cave in? they certainly decided that no action needed to be taken on that, not just on that, but on a
5:00 pm
few other very disturbing scenes that we saw over the course of the weekend at these, at least on paper, pro—palestine marches . on paper, pro—palestine marches. look at this, though, the end of migrant hotels. could it possibly be the government is now set a date in stone, so they say, for the first rwanda flight to take off, they're copping it over the state of the migrant detention centres in kent. but apparently they've come with apparently they've come up with apparently they've come up with a save money and not a new way to save money and not keep putting in migrant keep putting people in migrant hotels. will explain all very hotels. i will explain all very shortly. but police talking shortly. but our police talking of they have said now of them, yes, they have said now that they're not going be that they're not going to be able attend every single able to attend every single instance of shoplifting. okay. that's too often. that's happening far too often. but go but they are going to go apparently to every single shop robbery . again, more info. very robbery. again, more info. very very shortly. and one final one for you. i believe . yes, that's for you. i believe. yes, that's right. hypocrite harry at the formula one. so eco warriors just taking a private jet to an island where billionaires go to escape millionaires is now at the formula one. despite formula one, you know, destroying the planet and all of that stuff. patrick christys . gb news. so in
5:01 pm
patrick christys. gb news. so in just a couple of moments time, i'm going to be talking to a muslim religious leader about whether or not the shouting of the word jihad on the streets of britain or calls for muslim armies anything for us to armies is anything for us to worry gb views worry about. gb views gbnews.com. do you worry that our metropolitan police have gone soft left? but right now it's your headlines with polly . it's your headlines with polly. patrick thank you. >> well the top stories this houn >> well the top stories this hour. the prime minister has confirmed that the gaza hospital blast last week was likely caused by a missile coming from within gaza . rishi sunak said in within gaza. rishi sunak said in the commons this afternoon that the commons this afternoon that the al ahli hospital blast was caused by a missile or part of a missile that was launching towards israel . he also said the towards israel. he also said the uk is providing an additional £20 million in aid to civilians in gaza, as well as deploying
5:02 pm
raf and royal navy assets. >> the british government judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile or part of one that was launched from within gaza towards israel. the misreporting of this incident had a negative effect in the region , including on a vital us region, including on a vital us diplomatic effort and on tensions here at home. we need to learn the lessons and ensure that in future there is no rush to judgement here. meanwhile a third convoy of aid is arriving at the rafah border crossing , at the rafah border crossing, heading into gaza in the south of israel. >> earlier on today, you could hear explosions across the rafah border crossing as those israel hamas skirmishes continue . and hamas skirmishes continue. and that comes after a second convoy of 40 jean trucks carrying humanitarian supplies went through the crossing last night.

5:05 pm
pubuc well. there is also quite strong public order legislation on the statute books already, including section 18 of the public order act, which criminalises inciting racial hatred. >> well, it is away from israel. the government has announced a so—called zero tolerance approach to shoplifters under the national shoplifting action plan. police will be required to attend all retail premises where security staff have caught a suspect . but they'll also target suspect. but they'll also target prolific offenders, including criminal gangs. prolific offenders, including criminal gangs . and they'll run criminal gangs. and they'll run cctv footage through their facial recognition software . now facial recognition software. now a body has been found in the search for a man who was reported as being trapped in a vehicle in flood water in aberdeenshire. meanwhile a man who died after a tree stuck his van, struck his van rather near forfar in angus during storm barbette on thursday, has been named as john gillen, the 56 year old was pronounced dead at

the scene following the incident last thursday . and finally , a last thursday. and finally, a man who bought a pool table after winning £2.4 million on the lottery is now queuing up to represent england at the european pool championship . european pool championship. shapps neil jones and his partner julie kirkham won the money just before christmas 2010, well after he got himself the table, mr jones started practising as much as he could as he had a lot of free time on his hands, and he's risen through ranks and now, he through the ranks and now, he says, representing his country in malta, very soon will be his proudest moment. you're with gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio, and on your smart speaker by saying, play gb news. this is britain's news channel . news channel. >> the word jihad should be banned on britain's streets and anybody using it should be locked up . we can argue about
5:07 pm
locked up. we can argue about the semantics of this all that we want to, but the fact is that this weekend we had loads of people calling for jihad on the streets metropolitan streets and the metropolitan police nothing police did absolutely nothing in fact, they bit less than fact, they did a bit less than nothing. they endorsed it. i'm going play you a clip now of going to play you a clip now of this and i want you to tell this mob, and i want you to tell me where you think it crosses a line. is it when they call for jihad or is when they bring jihad or is it when they bring banners with them calling for muslim is it the fact muslim armies or is it the fact that they support a that that they support a group that wants implement an islamic wants to implement an islamic caliphate? i don't caliphate? it globally? i don't know. >> fm know. >> me, what is the >> you tell me, what is the solution to liberate people in the concentrate camps on palestine jihad ? what is the palestine jihad? what is the solution . solution. >> a jihad for love. a jihad . right. >> we have people in this country who can be arrested for saying that they don't think children should go through life changing gender reassignment surgery. people can lose their jobs for misgendering someone, and remarkably, people can even be police for be spoken to by police for showing the saint george's flag
5:08 pm
on the streets of england like this . this. >> for the moment, anything racist or even close to racism is said . is said. >> let me think. let me think. >> let me think. let me think. >> let me finish. >> let me finish. >> i'm finished for the moment. >> i'm finished for the moment. >> anything gets anything close to that. >> right. >> all right. >> all right. >> people are to start >> people are going to start getting arrested. >> yeah, this is the verbal warnings that, know, we're >> yeah, this is the verbal waron gs that, know, we're >> yeah, this is the verbal waron the hat, know, we're >> yeah, this is the verbal waron the same know, we're >> yeah, this is the verbal waron the same page. yw, we're all on the same page. >> but it comes to muslim >> but when it comes to muslim armies and jihad, this is what the to say. the word the police have to say. the word jihad has a number of meanings, but the public will most but we know the public will most commonly associate it with terrorism. that terrorism. they said that specialist counter—terrorism officers assessed situation officers assessed that situation and thought that it was fine . and thought that it was fine. what a disgrace, though, because a couple of things, it appears to actually against met's to actually go against the met's own hate speech, own guidance on hate speech, which it includes which says that it includes calling for violence and stirring hatred, those stirring up hatred, that those things well that's things are outlawed. well that's what it was, though, wasn't it? so the police have bottled it there. we also had an incident on the london underground where a driver shouted free a tube driver shouted free palestine and encouraged chanting the effect.
5:09 pm
chanting to the effect. apparently the issue was handed to british transport police by the metropolitan police and as yet that driver has not been found, which speaks volumes about the kind of employee record that transport for london keeps. issue with that keeps. now, my issue with that is when it comes to the train dnven is when it comes to the train driver, the tube driver is not that. think necessarily what that. i think necessarily what they there should be they said there should be criminalised. can criminalised. my issue is can you being jewish you imagine being a jewish person or walking person on that tube or walking around ? and i think it's around? and i think it's terrifying, isn't it? but here's a little word of warning for all of the liberal, very well—meaning wokerati who are going into bat for these people. a lot of them may not share your values. a lot of them may not believe in freedom of expression. and a lot of them may not believe in women's rights. now and this may shock you a lot of them may not even believe in gay rights . now, if believe in gay rights. now, if only there was some evidence to show this. if only there was a video or something that maybe
5:10 pm
showed , oh, here we go is a showed, oh, here we go is a palestine pro—palestine protest, an lgbt flag in that. oh, not any more. that's not. no, it's been ripped down, hasn't it? yes it has. yes, it has indeed. funny that isn't it? okay, well, look , i don't look around these look, i don't look around these protests and think that it's all about the people of palestine. okay. i don't think it's all about human rights. i just don't. i think it's much more than that. and i think there is a sinister element to it, like in the evidence that i have just shown you, there , and i could shown you, there, and i could have taken my pick there. by the way, loads of that doing way, there's loads of that doing the on social media and the rounds on social media and i don't see huge numbers people don't see huge numbers of people coming the coming out to condemn the actions these radicals. actions of these radicals. britain i'm afraid, is in real trouble . all . now, that's what i trouble. all. now, that's what i think. i want to hear from you. email me gb views. gbnews.com. but rishi sunak has said that the explosion at the al ahli
5:11 pm
hospital in gaza was likely caused by a missile launched launched. easy for me to say from within gaza towards israel. the prime minister also told the commons that the uk would provide an additional £20 million worth of humanity. korean aid to civilians in gaza. it comes as a third convoy of aid trucks have been seen entering the rafah crossing from egypt bound for gaza. meanwhile the israeli military says that 222 people are now being held hostage in the gaza strip. very shortly, i'm going to be talking to a islamic religious leader around what i was discussing earlier on about the idea of calling for jihad earlier on about the idea of calling forjihad on the earlier on about the idea of calling for jihad on the streets of britain, whether or not that isindeed of britain, whether or not that is indeed okay. but now let's cross to tel aviv and speak to our security editor, mark white. mark, so an eventful day as even mark, so an eventful day as ever. no ground invasion as yet, but some skirmishes is taking place. news now of more aid to the people of gaza or concerns that that might just go straight to hamas, of course. and confirmation from rishi sunak as much we can have it, that much as we can have it, that that at hospital was
5:12 pm
that attack at a hospital was actually from within gaza . actually fired from within gaza. yes >> so in terms of the ground war, of course, it hasn't yet gone undennay. there are tens of thousands of israeli military now on the ground around the gaza strip preparing for the gorda whenever that comes . as gorda whenever that comes. as there has been, though, a number of raids that have involved israeli soldiers and armoured vehicles going into gaza to take out hamas cells and also to try to get a handle on to gather intelligence on where any of these 222 hostages may be being held and they may be underground in some of the tunnels. they may be above ground around gaza city or elsewhere. it's an extremely complex situation . action on the complex situation. action on the ground, which may in part be responsible for the slow time approach in terms of the
5:13 pm
invasion. the other aspect, of course, is that the us and other countries, uk included , are countries, uk included, are behind the scenes , although they behind the scenes, although they are very publicly showing their support to israel and its right to go after hamas, they are urging caution on and asking for some time to be given for those negotiations to continue to see if any of those hostages is can be released patrick and in the meantime, of course , although meantime, of course, although the land invasion has not started yet , there have been started yet, there have been plenty of rockets fired from gaza and indeed from northern israel, again, from the south lebanon border. there hezbollah up in southern lebanon, and hamas of course, in gaza . hamas of course, in gaza. communities around the gaza strip and in southern israel had to head for the shelters with much multiple sirens going off throughout the day . and also in
5:14 pm
throughout the day. and also in northern israel and north of haifa with drones that were launched from southern lebanon that went down the coast with a view to getting in towards communities in the haifa area. they were taken out by israeli defence systems . defence systems. >> as mark. thank you very much. mark white there, our security editor who's in tel aviv for us. let's return now, though , to let's return now, though, to britain. okay and rishi sunak has said that calls to jihad in the uk are a threat to our democracy values. you said that in the house of commons about an hour and a half ago. earlier suella braverman questioned met police chief sir mark rowley over the policing of the protest over the policing of the protest over the policing of the protest over the weekend and he defended his police force's actions. he said that police could only enforce the law and not taste and decency. other people said, well, there is law against well, there is a law against this is hate speech, but have the police completely lost control? wanted to try to control? i wanted to try to understand the situation a little bit better. so hopefully to help us all do that is dr. sheikh ramzi, imam and director
5:15 pm
of the oxford islamic information centre and political commentator emma webb. thank you very much. both of you. and sheikh runcie, i will start with you. we had on london streets on saturday supporters of a group that want to implement sharia law globally and re establish an islamic caliphate , call for islamic caliphate, call for muslim armies to launch jihad. was that hate speech ? was that hate speech? >> um, i believe of course, these people they are talking. >> they are i believe is with all respect is a hot air there are jihad. jihad is has has not i should say jihad has not relation with the terrorism . it relation with the terrorism. it is a war in the holy quran and jihad, as they said , of course, jihad, as they said, of course, metropolitan says is has many different meanings and the best meaning is strive to be good. that means jihad. however jihad not any tom dick and harry can
5:16 pm
give if shot in the middle of the street of the london or oxford or whatever jihad. jihad. nobody say so. who are you to give the jihad ? jihad has to be give the jihad? jihad has to be given by the highest, highest a islamic leader is not the leader of the politics. religious leader. for example, in the saudi arabia, you can give the imam of the mosque in the iran can be given the highest . these can be given the highest. these are the only way. and there are conditions if they say jihad, if they bring it as a holy war, the rest they are talking nothing at all. you should. >> okay, that's fine. that's fine. i'll come back to you. i'll come back to you. emma webb. i'll bring you in now. political commentator. it's all fine. we can all sleep easy at night. it's just hot air. >> i mean really. see, the >> no, i mean really. see, the distinction between lesserjihad distinction between lesser jihad and greaterjihad and what the and greater jihad and what the is referring to there is the internal struggle meaning of jihad, the spiritual struggle. in this context makes no sense.
5:17 pm
if you i want to know, frankly, who these experts are. the met are referring to, i think the pubuc are referring to, i think the public ought to have some kind of transparency on who exactly is advising them on this, because in the context of banners that are referring to muslim armies, in the context of a very explicitly calling for a war, a military war, not a spiritual war between muslim armies in the muslim world and israel , somebody shouting in the israel, somebody shouting in the street , jihad, jihad, jihad. street, jihad, jihad, jihad. whilst a rally that is organised by a self—professed islamist organisation that a very clear about their political objectives to establish an international caliphate in and including in all of the countries where they exist. an organisation that is bannedin exist. an organisation that is banned in many countries, including muslim countries around the world. there is no way in which from that context you can interpret jihad as you can interpretjihad as meaning internal struggle that
5:18 pm
would be absurd. so yes, jihad does have multiple meanings, but there is absolutely no doubt that in this context that is not what is being referred to by the public. are not that gullible, and we shouldn't allow people to frankly mock us by suggesting that this is does not military jihad. >> all right, dr. ramzy, i'll let you come back to that. yes >> i believe you make making making a from the mall a mountain. this is nothing . many mountain. this is nothing. many times they said again, i said , times they said again, i said, if they advise advise for metropolitan police, is that anybody says jihad , jihad, jihad anybody says jihad, jihad, jihad doesn't matter as muhajiroun doesn't matter as muhajiroun doesn't matter as muhajiroun doesn't matter . whatever who our doesn't matter. whatever who our names are or army or whatever they cannot is cannot be given jihad. jihad has to be given by the highest, highest is in is in the highest, highest is in is in the sharia law. highest person in the in the religion is a
5:19 pm
religion . there is nothing can religion. there is nothing can be if i go again, i say there you worry the people for nothing. if you're worrying anyone. >> sorry, can i just say i'm sorry. it's not we've we've respect dr. sheikh ramzy. it's not us who are worrying people, right? it's not us who are worrying people, right? it's not as they were worrying people. it is concerning for the british pubuc concerning for the british public to see banners, a banner with muslim . okay. what does with muslim. okay. what does muslim armies mean? dr. sheikh ramzy? what does muslim armies have not? >> i told idea what the muslim army is. there is no muslim army. they make it up as they go . is a poppycock. nothing else at all. it is just worrying the people. and at the people get stressed and worried. jihad is a name which is in the holy quran if go to the for example, i'm allowed to, you can't ban the art of the holy quran. a verse of the holy quran. you cannot is impossible to ban it because is a is a freedom of the religion .
5:20 pm
a is a freedom of the religion. however, what we can do, we can say very pocket of these people, which they saying perhaps can be investigated . covid. yes, no investigated. covid. yes, no problem. we have we had a about 400,000 people. they went there one little bit. the jihad . find one little bit. the jihad. find out what they meant by that are they want to make a make a some terrorism or whatever . in here terrorism or whatever. in here we have a great prevent prevent can can look at it please can look at it. but we need do not need to scare the people of the muslim. we are all has to work together. work together and be together. work together and be together because in that way that what we had, we had a 400,000 people to hundred thousand were non—muslim. there for. they want to help, help in the humanitarian 1 or 2 bad apple cannot should not destroy the rest of . the rest of. >> i'll let you come back to that now i'm gone.
5:21 pm
>> well, the imam just said that he thinks they're making it up as they go along . i don't think as they go along. i don't think that these people who are shouting jihad jihad in the street particularly street are particularly scholarly individuals . ls isis scholarly individuals. ls isis didn't wait for some kind of authority to give them permission to wage jihad . in permission to wage jihad. in this context , it permission to wage jihad. in this context, it is absurd to suggest that this is shouting the spiritual jihad. there is no way in which we can interpret it as that . and i want to mention as that. and i want to mention also going back to your original point, patrick, that the police have posted a number of things on people's tweets online, which frankly, i think almost amounts to trolling. one of the things they mentioned was the shahada flag that some people have been carrying and we know that that is a flag that has been taken up by islamist groups. so the fact that it has a muslim profession of faith on it doesn't necessarily mean that those who are carrying it are not extremists, particularly if those people are shouting may
5:22 pm
allah's curses be on the jews and the infidels and shouting islamic state in the street. there were people at the rally who were holding up signs that said, i fully support hamas. it is illegal to support a proscribed terrorist organisation in this country. we have of the leaders of hamas have one of the leaders of hamas who has living in a council who has been living in a council house in this country and was given british passport when he given a british passport when he should absolutely have been should absolutely not have been allowed be here. and allowed to be here. and actually, he allowed to be here. and actu making he allowed to be here. and actu making that he allowed to be here. and actu making that statement, he allowed to be here. and actu making that statement, there was making that statement, there , this has been pointed out , and this has been pointed out by lawyer on twitter that he by a lawyer on twitter that he seems not even the way that seems to not even the way that he speaks, he's not speaking in legal he sounds as if he legal terms. he sounds as if he doesn't understand the law. i'm sure does. i that sure he does. but i think that we have serious problem in the we have a serious problem in the fact officers do not fact that police officers do not seem even understand the law seem to even understand the law that supposed to be that they are supposed to be enforcing. ridiculous just enforcing. it's ridiculous just now very quickly, because now very, very quickly, because we're pressed for time, we're a bit pressed for time, just emma would the word fihad? >> jihad? >> i mean, you are obviously part of the free speech union as well. so is that is that a word that you would ban ? that you would ban? >> well, i did formerly i did formerly work the free formerly work for the free
5:23 pm
speech if somebody is speech union. but if somebody is shouting in the street, we shouting jihad in the street, we already in this already have laws in this country incitement country against incitement to violence . i absolutely in violence. i am absolutely in favour of free speech, i've favour of free speech, but i've always very clear that, as always been very clear that, as the law already indicates , it is the law already indicates, it is illegal incite violence and illegal to incite violence and calling holy war. i think is calling for holy war. i think is inciting violence . inciting violence. >> okay. dr. sheikh does not mean holy war anyway. >> jihad does not mean a holy war. a holy war is something else in the holy quran. i said, is a strive to strive to be good. why are you taking it? and we're not to be. >> to be fair. we're not taking i mean, if you if you see a load of people shouting jihad, jihad, jihad, talking about taking a piece of land from people who are already on there under a banner of muslim armies, dr. sheikh, imply sheikh, it would imply that maybe there was an element of violence. >> may i ask a question? >> may i ask a question? >> pocket pocket of >> very, very pocket pocket of the 400,000, maybe 2 or the people. 400,000, maybe 2 or 3 or 4 or 5. there. one bad apple should not make everything wrong. they have wrong. okay? they have the police can them to see police can can ask them to see why they say jihad. >> and again, believe them
5:24 pm
impossible the religion. >> you cannot ban the word jihad said jihad jihad. but it doesn't mean i'm going to be a terrorist. jihad is a good things which i'm striving to be a pious. >> okay. all right. i get that. emma go on, quickly. what was that? i just if i may, i just want to ask the imam a very straightfonnard question, because i want to clarify. >> i don't believe that you should ban the word jihad, but i do believe that certain do believe that in certain contexts explicitly contexts it does explicitly refer and so i'd refer to holy war. and so i'd like to ask the imam very straightfonnard. it's a yes or no you concede straightfonnard. it's a yes or no there you concede straightfonnard. it's a yes or no there historicallyconcede that there is historically linguistic there linguistic li there is a military meaning to the word jihad . jihad. >> what do you have to say? again, i said there are several meanings. if you are talking about reference to the again, if the translate reference, the holy quran is mean, the war is means go and kill and get killed. butjihad means strife in the quran means only strife.
5:25 pm
i believe as an imam, as a sheikh , as a scholar, islamic sheikh, as a scholar, islamic scholar and the holy book, they say it is nothing to do with the nothing to do with the holy war at all, this word. but again , a at all, this word. but again, a lesser jihad and higher jihad lesserjihad and higherjihad and whatever . that's a different and whatever. that's a different thing, which we cannot talk , but thing, which we cannot talk, but don't get scared of that is a good word. god bless you all. is a so good word. and everybody should do strive to get better and help the people. god bless you all. >> all right, both of you. thank you very much. enlightening, enlightening . dr. shay ramsey enlightening. dr. shay ramsey there . okay, imam, director of there. okay, imam, director of there. okay, imam, director of the oxford islamic information centre. um, political commentator. i'm a web as well. spirited discussion. you can get loads more on this story on our website, gbnews.com. it's the fastest growing national news site in the country. it's got all analysis, big all the best analysis, big opinion latest opinion and all of the latest breaking news now. shoplifting offences a quarter in offences are up by a quarter in the year. i saw someone the last year. i saw someone shoplifting yesterday . security shoplifting yesterday. security guards absolutely. now, guards did. absolutely. now,
5:26 pm
5:29 pm
& co weeknights from . six & co weeknights from. six >> okay. so the government has hosted senior business and policing figures today in a roundtable discussion on how to get tough on shoplifting as police figures show a 25% increase in the last year . well, increase in the last year. well, is it time to get tough on britain's thieves? you know,
5:30 pm
there was talk about police officers attending every single incident shoplifting . whilst incident of shoplifting. whilst i'd that, i do that i'd like that, i do think that is fundamentally impractical. i was last night and was in a tesco's last night and just in front of me, a just right in front of me, a bloke wearing came in, bloke wearing a mask came in, tied his dog up outside, walked in, grabbed a load of stuff, walked around the shop for ages and then just walked out with the stuff , unhooked his dog and then just walked out with the stuff, unhooked his dog and disappeared . id and the security disappeared. id and the security guard and the member of staff had about a five minute discussion about whether or not they were going to do anything about it, by which time the guy could got on the london could have got on the london underground into a different postcode. they as it turns out, did police did not call the police for that. on note, speaking that. so on that note, speaking earlier, policing minister chris phillips say about phillips had this to say about today's roundtable discussion . today's roundtable discussion. >> today we've launched a national shop lifting action plan launched by chief constable amanda blakeman, the national police chiefs council lead and that includes a commitment to attend retail premises where someone has been apprehended by the store security staff where
5:31 pm
an assault has happened or where they need to attend collect they need to attend to collect evidence. it includes evidence. and it includes a commitment always follow up commitment to always follow up lines enquiry where they lines of enquiry where they exist cctv footage exist to run cctv footage through the facial recognition database to target prolific offenders , to go after them offenders, to go after them specifically, and to go after the criminal gangs who often organise shoplifting. so a comprehensive plan designed to crack down on shoplifting, get it back in its box and make sure retailers and the public can go about their daily business safely . safely. >> okay. so mark pilkington joins me now. he's a retail analyst. how bad is it when it comes to shoplifting, mark? well it's definitely worse, as you say , 25% worse than it was say, 25% worse than it was officially, 365,000 cases in the year to june, which would mean about 700,000 a year. >> but we all know, as you've just said yourself , that most of just said yourself, that most of it doesn't get reported. so you could probably double or triple that number, which means we're looking at as many as maybe one and a half to 2 million cases a year. and a half to 2 million cases a year . and as you say , 75% of the
5:32 pm
year. and as you say, 75% of the time the police don't respond even when it is reported. so so many retailers feel that it's effectively being decriminalised. >> yeah. and the staff are at risk of violence. there's a rising tide of violence against shop staff and they don't necessary themselves want to get involved with potential criminals . criminals. >> so it's a very, very serious problem and it's affecting the profitable. >> it's estimated john lewis just said that they reckon it increased sinkage, which is what they call shoplifting sinkage of stock had cost them £12 million last year. >> so it's a very serious problem . problem. >> it is indeed. i mean , my >> it is indeed. i mean, my experience last night and a few other times i've seen shoplifting in action has made me on earth anybody me wonder why on earth anybody bothers to pay for food. because i think you can just walk in and say, just walk in say, seriously, you just walk in and well, it seems to and take it. well, it seems to be message. i'm not be the message. i'm not condoning i'm just saying condoning that. i'm just saying that's what happens. and that's that's what happens. and police least police should at least be responding. to robbery, police should at least be restusting. to robbery, police should at least be restust shoplifting, to robbery, police should at least be restust shoplifting, butobbery, not just shoplifting, but robbery, because that's that's
5:33 pm
that's that's a violent threat that's a that's a violent threat . right. essentially amongst . right. essentially in amongst it . that's the bit that got to it. that's the bit that got to go to surely. >> think there's two things >> i think there's two things they can after profitably. they can go after profitably. >> one is they you know where it's organised gangs , where it's organised gangs, where people are literally going in there and clearing shops as there and clearing out shops as opposed taking 1 or 2 pieces. opposed to taking 1 or 2 pieces. they're setting up this project, the retailer is going to help finance it to actually really go after these big gangs because that will give us the biggest leverage really in clearing it up. >> if they could get 1 or 2 of these big gangs, they could cut out a lot of major shoplifting. the second thing is violence. um you know, the world is not safe in many areas for retail staff. >> i think that where >> and i think that where there's violence, has to there's violence, there has to be tolerance policing be a zero tolerance policing approach after people who approach and go after people who do because the threat of do that because the threat of violence, to be honest, is what's stopping the store staff. >> , it is. >> yes, it is. >> yes, it is. >> you know what i mean? yeah >> you know what i mean? yeah >> i mean, so if you can't if you can't make the store staff safe, they're to safe, they're never going to actually stop it. >> well, no, you might as well
5:34 pm
just have just just have a just have a chocolate teapot. as a security officer, there's no there's no point. really point. i'm not really necessarily blaming them. i mean, wouldn't want to get mean, i wouldn't want to get stabbed line of duty for stabbed in the line of duty for minimum but at the minimum wage either. but at the same there is not really same time, there is not really any them being there if any point of them being there if they're not actually to going do something but look, something about it. but look, mark, very much. mark mark, thank you very much. mark pilkington. retail pilkington. there is a retail analyst now. there's more still to come between now and p.m. to come between now and 6 pm. i'll the i'll tell you about the controversial processing controversial migrant processing centre conditions centre where the conditions are said unacceptable. but said to be unacceptable. but first, headlines. first, the latest headlines. we're middlehurst. we're polly middlehurst. >> and the top stories this hour . the prime minister has confirmed that the gaza hospital blast last week was likely caused by a missile coming from gaza. rishi sunak saying the al—ahli hospital blast caused by a missile or part of one that had come from inside israel . had come from inside israel. while the british government judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile or part of one that was launched

5:41 pm
the channel, they don't have to have these hotels in their constituencies. the other looming crisis is , is looming crisis is, is homelessness among these people. once we have inevitably accepted between 70 or 80% of the people who've come across the channel quite often they're told, well, you've got 28 days to get out of this hotel. well well, it's not all well and good because they will not have been able to work and therefore they will not have the amount of time get the amount of time to get a month's rent deposit. where are they live, they going to go and live, especially if they happen to now be in rural countryside communities. can very communities. you can end up very realistically with the possibility 300 possibility of one, two, 300 young middle eastern men wandering you know, wandering around, you know, somewhere the district, somewhere in the lake district, for which is slightly for example, which is slightly bonkers, but just lastly with you, tony, do you think this flight is to going take off to rwanda on february the 24th? well i hope so, patrick. >> i don't know because it's up to the judges now. >> it's in the supreme court and the lawyers will not up the lawyers will not give up if they get if they can they can get past if they can get through to the european

5:43 pm
don't, fair. but i >> and do i believe it? no, i don't, fair. buti never don't, to be fair. but i never really believe anything they say. they've got these say. they've always got these really don't really good soundbites, don't they? we never actually they? and then we never actually see any action. know, we've see any action. you know, we've heard rwanda. heard about rwanda. >> many times. >> i'm not going to go along the same lines as what tony did and say that i think that going say that i think that it's going to because don't think to happen because i don't think it's to happen. to happen because i don't think it's and to happen. to happen because i don't think it's and even 1appen. to happen because i don't think it's and even ifppen. to happen because i don't think it's and even if it en. to happen because i don't think it's and even if it does, they can >> and even if it does, they can only take 127 people at a time. i think it is. so this is more sound bites. where on earth are you going put these you to going put all these people that, know, all a people that, you know, all of a sudden need of these sudden don't need all of these hotels? a concern about hotels? is a concern about what's going to happen to, you know, a lot of those people because going made because they're going to be made homeless, it would seem. >> are you worried about >> i mean, are you worried about that a humanity perspective that from a humanity perspective towards individuals ? i i'm towards these individuals? i i'm always worried about the humanitarian aspect, but what i don't think that our governments concerned with is the humanitarian aspect of when they actually decided to start putting people in these hotels. >> and, you know, i've got a really good example. >> i'm in wigan and obviously we're announcement
5:44 pm
we're expecting an announcement to we're contracts to say that we're contracts are now not going be happening. now not going to be happening. >> there's been very, >> so there's been one very, very , um, problematic tick hotel very, um, problematic tick hotel that has been taken over which i won't say the brand of hotel that they are, but. >> kelly court obviously it's just down the road from me. >> there has been absolute uproar in the community. >> the mps against it, councillors are against it and yet the government have ploughed on to give them a contract . on to give them a contract. >> so the first thing that i want to be asking if the government genuinely want to put the money where the mouth is, which they often they don't which they very often they don't do. going to be the do. is this going to be the first that they actually first part that they actually scrap first part that they actually scribecause we're going to get >> because if we're going to get rid in wigan, rid of the hotels in wigan, that's first one that needs that's the first one that needs to a historical to go. it's a historical building that means a heck of a lot to their community. >> a thriving >> dodi it was a thriving business and humanitarian wise with are so many people with there are so many people who were made redundant events got cancelled, got got cancelled, weddings got cancelled, people's got cancelled, people's lives got turned upside down. >> governments didn't care about that and you know, every >> no. and you know, every single time when you really
5:45 pm
seriously add up the locations of these different hotels and you look at them and you think this is an astonishing thing, number of communities , often number of communities, often quite often rural communities, who will have this impacted on them. and i've said it before, i'll say it again, when and i think it is when around 70 to 80% of these people are granted asylum or refuge in britain . asylum or refuge in britain. they are going to have to live somewhere and they will be served with a essentially an eviction notice from hotels. you've got 28 days to get out now , that's one thing. doing it now, that's one thing. doing it in big cities. now, that's one thing. doing it in big cities . it's another in big cities. it's another thing for people who are, say, in grasmere , in the lake in grasmere, in the lake district or out in the back end of nowhere. and these people have got 28 days to get out of a hotel. what happens? this is the thing that people are, you know, unlikely to plan ahead for. but rebecca, thank you very much. rebecca, thank you very much. rebecca jane, there is a deputy leader of ukip, short and sweet, but you'd love to it right but you'd love to see it right now. harry says that he
5:46 pm
now. prince harry says that he cares about the environment so where yesterday? that's where was he yesterday? that's right. grand prix, right. a formula one grand prix, believe not. naturally, believe it or not. naturally, for a chap who has just got back from private jet an island from a private jet to an island where billionaires to escape where billionaires go to escape millionaires. course, millionaires. but of course, he's when comes to he's all heart when it comes to the environment. patrick christys
5:50 pm
me, patrick christys right here on news. now, prince harry says that he cares about the environment. so where was he yesterday? well, of course, he was formula grand prix, was at a formula one grand prix, wasn't harry went to what is wasn't he? harry went to what is surely the most environmentally unfriendly austin. in unfriendly sport in austin. in texas, after harry texas, an it comes after harry and took a private to and meghan took a private jet to and meghan took a private jet to a caribbean island earlier this month where billionaires go to escape millionaires. i'm joined now former royal butler grant now by former royal butler grant harrold. there's also another nicest story doing the rounds about never about king charles never throwing we'll throwing away cake, but we'll get to that in a minute. do you think that you think that think that do you think that prince is taking prince harry is maybe taking some advice it comes to some bad advice when it comes to going to formula one events, etcetera, whilst preaching about the environment ? the environment? >> good afternoon. thanks for having me on. i think he gets a lot of bad advice personally these days is from the prince harry. i knew many years ago, but i've always said this is where it's really risky because royal travel and of course he's no longer a working member of the royal family. but royals, when you do a lot of travelling, do come under criticism.
5:51 pm
>> i've obviously explained this in past that travel in the past that travel sometimes done, but sometimes has to be done, but this different, isn't it? >> because obviously this is a private jet that he's taken to go to the formula one, is go to the formula one, which is great. it's fantastic great. you know, it's fantastic he's gone there. i think he's gone there. but i think this where quite this is where you're quite right. this where it's right. this is where it's becoming very tricky subject becoming a very tricky subject because he obviously talks about air about air travel, about the environment, you know, environment, it, you know, trying much we're trying to watch how much we're travelling, thing. travelling, this kind of thing. he about the past he spoke about it in the past and course, when they travel and of course, when they travel on it doesn't on a private jet, it doesn't really go down. i don't think it's doing well with the public in general, and i don't understand at which point they think, a good think, well, this is a good idea. one thing when idea. it's one thing when i'm sure there's occasions that people on private people may be offered on private jet, there's opportunities jet, so there's opportunities there. argument might be there's jet, so there's opportunities there. people ent might be there's jet, so there's opportunities there. people on might be there's jet, so there's opportunities there. people on minget.> there's jet, so there's opportunities there. people on minget. butere's other people on that jet. but when going on when you're actually going on about environment , it's about the environment, it's i think best thing you're think the best thing you're supposed trying supposed to be doing is trying to own advice. to follow your own advice. >> no, indeed . and it does >> yeah, no, indeed. and it does seem a little bit bizarre that he would continually this. seem a little bit bizarre that heialmostontinually this. seem a little bit bizarre that he ialmostontiropening this. seem a little bit bizarre that he ialmostontiropening himself it's almost like opening himself up , isn't it, up for trolling, isn't it, really, idea? and there is really, this idea? and there is there vehicle races there are electric vehicle races
5:52 pm
that he could have gone to. it just seems like they are absolutely or maybe unaware of their own hypocrisy . their own hypocrisy. potentially. yeah >> i mean, obviously he's been a lover of formula one. i've obviously read that back in 94 when he was about ten years old, he attended the greatest formula one with his with his mother, the late diana prince of wales. so he's always had a love for it. i think that's fair it. and i think that's fair enough. lot us love our enough. a lot of us love our sports, and can, we attend sports, and if we can, we attend them, we? try to go, but them, don't we? try to go, but most of us have to go on normal flights. and obviously, if he wants go, fine. he wants to go, that's fine. if he wants to go, that's fine. if he wants to go, that's fine. if he wants to support it, as you quite rightly said, it's in this world in today, it's world we live in today, it's open debate. but i think open for debate. but i think it's the way he gets there that's problem. he might that's the problem. and he might come you imagine if he come on. can you imagine if he wants he wants to defend himself? he might. on and give his might. come on and give his reasons to why. there reasons as to why. and there might be very good reasons, but it's just from outside point it's just from outside his point of looking in can of view. we're looking in can i think, well, seems think, well, it just seems really advice. really bad advice. >> does yes. like i >> it does now, yes. like i said, there is another one that will just finish on quickly, which is about king charles
