southwest of the island of helgoland . one person has been helgoland. one person has been rescued from the water and a search is undennay for several others who fell overboard . the others who fell overboard. the british flagged verity reported she sank part of the uk devastated by floods are facing another deluge. a yellow weather warning for heavy rain has been issued for the east midlands and yorkshire hitting areas which are still recovering from storm babet. the met office says there's a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded. the weather warning will remain in place until 4 pm. and the rate of uk unemployment remains unchanged at 4.2% in the three months to august . but despite real august. but despite real earnings outpacing inflation for the first time in nearly two years, there's a mixed view of the job market. pay growth is slowing and job vacancies have fallen for the 15th consecutive time . there was also a fall of time. there was also a fall of 11,000in the number of uk workers on payrolls in september

. the work and pensions secretary saying that inactivity has fallen by over a quarter of a million since the pandemic peak. a million since the pandemic peak . you can get more on those peak. you can get more on those stories by visiting our website, gb news.com. stories by visiting our website, gbnews.com. now let's get back to tom and . emily to tom and. emily >> good morning. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. with me, emily carver and tom hannood. so there was some hopeful news overnight as two elderly female hostages, one of which has family in the united kingdom, has been released by hamas on humanitarian grounds. apparently after a deal was reached between the qatari and egyptian governments. yes the foreign office has said it will continue due to work tirelessly on securing the release of more hostages. >> of course, only a handful have so far been released of over 200. well, mark white joins us live from tel aviv with the

very latest. and mark, do we have any indication on how this deal was achieved ? deal was achieved? >> well, negotiations is through egypt and the international red cross with hamas. now hamas have said that they released these two women on humanitarian grounds, but the israeli defence forces spokesman at the morning briefing this morning said that actually it's completely cynical . and the video of that release with those hamas terrorists handing drinks and biscuits to these two elderly women was just completely cynical because , as completely cynical because, as he said, these are exactly the same terrorists who slaughtered 1400 people on the 7th of october. and there is real concern, i think, amongst at the israeli politicians and the military about this tactic that hamas has adopted. they say it's

right out of the hamas playbook . right out of the hamas playbook. it's about stalling really for time, trying to create more time so that they can dig in and prepare for that inevitable ground invasion , because every ground invasion, because every time they release a hostage or to drip , drip time they release a hostage or to drip, drip of time they release a hostage or to drip , drip of release of to drip, drip of release of hostages , then it's hostages, then it's understandable that the countries around the world that may have nationals who are being held by hamas are pressuring israel to hold off that ground offensive to allow more time for the negotiations to continue . the negotiations to continue. >> now, mark, later on in the show, we'll be hearing directly from a press conference with israeli ministers. we're also going to be hearing from some of the victims families , either the victims families, either with a family who have been held hostages hostage or sadly fallen victim to the hamas atrocities . victim to the hamas atrocities. as i want to ask, what's happened overnight in terms of the bombardment, we've heard that israel has very much ramped up strikes on hamas. what have

we seen in. >> yeah, there have been no let up really in the airstrikes that israel has launched on hamas targets, 400 sites were struck in the last 24 hours, according to the idf. they included dozens of hamas gunmen who were planning apparently to launch rockets towards israel. it dozens of other buildings that the idf say were linked to hamas were also struck, including a mosque where and a hamas compound was located underneath that mosque as well. and it's not just in gaza. that mosque as well. and it's notjust in gaza. there that mosque as well. and it's not just in gaza. there has been air strikes that have been taking place in northern israel on the border with southern lebanon , where hezbollah lebanon, where hezbollah fighters have been launching regular attacks across the border, firing anti—tank

missiles and alike into israeli communities and towards israeli military installations. well, the israeli forces say that they launched air and ground strikes against those hezbollah . against those hezbollah. terrorists. there is real concern, of course, that potentially they could decide to enter this war in a more meaningful way rather than the sporadic attacks at the moment . sporadic attacks at the moment. and israel is warning hezbollah that if it does that it will be the biggest mistake of its life . the biggest mistake of its life. >> now, mark, you mentioned, of course , the french president's course, the french president's visit to israel today. there seems to have been some sort of divide really growing between perhaps european union voices and the british and the americans , the british and the americans, the british and the americans, the british and the americans saying that israel has an absolute right to defend itself. meanwhile, the french prime minister saying yesterday that there should be some sort of humanity , korean truce and of humanity, korean truce and josip borrell, the eus, one of the eu's top diplomats, saying

there should be a halt to israeli bombing thing. is there a difference here between the europeans and the americans and the brits ? well certainly if you the brits? well certainly if you take his words that were spoken, meeting with the israeli president this morning, then emmanuel macron appears to be on the same page as the us and the uk very publicly at least. >> he said that, yes, the priority has to be to get the release of all of the hostages . release of all of the hostages. and he met with french israeli , and he met with french israeli, i.e, families of people being held hostage when he arrived in tel aviv this morning. but at as he met with the israeli president, he said that france is absolutely full square behind israel . well, in its endeavours israel. well, in its endeavours to go after hamas and that he fully supports israel in its campaign to eradicate this

terrorist group . terrorist group. >> well, thank you very much indeed, mark white there, our security editor, live from tel aviv . aviv. >> now, the met police chief, sir mark rowley, has said that hate crime laws probably need redrawing in the wake of a pro—palestine rally where jihad chants were heard. >> yes, sir, mark said police were ruthless in tackling anybody who puts their foot over the legal line. but he added , the legal line. but he added, our job the legal line. but he added, ourjob is the legal line. but he added, our job is to the legal line. but he added, ourjob is to enforce the legal line. but he added, our job is to enforce that line the legal line. but he added, ourjob is to enforce that line . our job is to enforce that line. parliament's job is to draw that line. maybe some of the lines aren't out in the right place . aren't out in the right place. >> downing street said there were, quote , no plans to give were, quote, no plans to give police more power. indeed minister for policing chris philp told reporters that powers are already in place for the police to have at their disposal. there are very clear laws in place which ban on encouraging people to commit acts of terrorism . acts of terrorism. >> certain organisations, including hamas and hezbollah,

are proscribed . that means are proscribed. that means they're banned and being a member of those organisations or glorifying them is an offence. as well. there is also quite strong public order legislation on the statute books already, including section 18 of the pubuc including section 18 of the public order act, which criminalises inciting racial hatred . hatred. >> interesting. there what chris philp had to say already laws in place inciting violence and racial hatred . so with us is racial hatred. so with us is former labour mp simon danczuk joins us in the studio . thank joins us in the studio. thank you very much indeed for your time. clearly, it's a difficult one for the police . do you think one for the police. do you think that they struck the right balance? >> no, i don't think they have at all. i think and i don't think it's a difficult one. i think it's a difficult one. i think the reality is that the police need to get on with policing effectively. and sir mark knows exactly what mark rowley knows exactly what the majority the public the vast majority of the public think. think that the think. they think that the police should be arresting people inciting people who are inciting terrorism , them who are terrorism, them who are encouraging hatred through on

the streets of london and so they need to make some arrests and i said this at the beginning of this this whole incident in the middle east, that we would have problems on our streets. we have problems on our streets. we have over time inherent in imported islamic extremism . over imported islamic extremism. over a number of years, there's been a number of years, there's been a failure of multicultural ism suella braverman, the home secretary is exactly right to say that that's failed. we've let preach teachers in mosques run rife in terms of preaching hate . we are harbouring hamas hate. we are harbouring hamas organisers in central london. this is the situation that we're in. so in the short term we need to make arrests. that's what the police should have been doing dunng police should have been doing during these protests. and in the longer term , we really need the longer term, we really need some political leadership where somebody and somebody comes fonnard and starts redrawing the boundaries around what's acceptable and what isn't acceptable. so why do you. >> sorry, can i just ask, why do you think the police have been so light touch? we saw after the

incident where we heard jihad being chanted on the streets of central london that in their statement they said jihad has many different meanings. yeah i think it's all around the police having the wrong culture and the wrong agenda. >> and that's what we see with sir mark rowley. and we've seen it before. and i'll give you a great example or a terrible example in actual fact , i was example in actual fact, i was the mp for rochdale , large the mp for rochdale, large muslim population there. we have the rochdale grooming scandal occur and the first thing that the greater manchester chief constable did is come to rochdale and say , i've arrived rochdale and say, i've arrived to celebrate multiculturalism. that's what he said in the light of the rochdale grooming scandal, he couldn't have got his words more inappropriate . his words more inappropriate. and but that's the focus more on being social workers than they do on being police officers . and do on being police officers. and that's a real concern. do you think the problem here with suella braverman comments, because there were a lot of people criticising them who

said, hang on, you're the daughter of immigrants, the prime minister is the son of immigrants. >> hasn't multiculturalism succeeded ? do you think that succeeded? do you think that when some hear the word when some people hear the word multiculturalism, they think of a multiracial society and when other people hear multiculturalism , they think multiculturalism, they think parallel cultures existing together? and it's nothing to do with the colour of people's skin. are there sort skin. are there are there sort of two parallel conversations that people are having? >> think that's >> i think i think that's a really interesting point, actually. think there is i actually. and i think there is i think agree with think well, i would agree with you there is confusion you that there is confusion about what is acceptable. but but a wider point related to thatis but a wider point related to that is that the labour party really get off the hook on this issue because i am in no doubt i've been in the i was in the labour party for very many years and the reality is that there'd be even more relaxed about these issues. i have been in the issues. and i have been in the past, but nobody's challenging keir starmer at the moment, or because he's rehearsing for the big job he wants to be prime minister. what's his view in all

of this? he won't want to see. i can guarantee you he won't want to see protesters arrested. if we knew the truth, he wouldn't want he wouldn't want want that. he wouldn't want stronger legislation they've want that. he wouldn't want stronger any slation they've want that. he wouldn't want stronger any stronger they've want that. he wouldn't want stronger any stronger legislation opposed any stronger legislation in terms of order in in terms of public order offences. yes, but but he's not being about any of being challenged about any of that. so and yet what the labour party left would say is that keir starmer has been . keir starmer has been. >> well i suppose they'd argue he's flip flopped, but they'd also say that he's been perhaps more anti palestinian than his immediate predecessor . where is immediate predecessor. where is he walking an impossible line there where people on the right will say he's not proposing stronger laws and people on the left will say he's to supportive of israel. >> oh, yeah , he's completely >> oh, yeah, he's completely trying to walk a tightrope on this. a lot of the electorates, the muslim community vote disproportionately for labour. he doesn't want to upset them . he doesn't want to upset them. so he's trying to walk this tightrope . but but it's not tightrope. but but it's not acceptable because the reality is by giving in to those groups within society, we've ended up within society, we've ended up with the situation that we're in

now where extremism is being propagated throughout the country , where protesters can country, where protesters can say what they want and it shows that multicultural ism hasn't worked. >> i think some of our politicians may well be intimidated just on what some of the things that sir mark rowley said was interesting. he suggested that perhaps the law should change is that his place ? should change is that his place? and also he said he said that because the police can't be expected to enforce taste and decency kwasi interesting choice of words there. >> yeah, well, it does seem to be it's a good point that you make is sort of is entering the political realm, isn't he ? the political realm, isn't he? the minister, the police and minister, the police and minister was quite clear. there's legislation there that enables the police to take action and that's what the pubuc action and that's what the public want. they want the police to take action. and this isn't the first time they've been inactive or where they've took action. that's inappropriate and people don't think they should be taking action. the culture within the

british police is completely wrong. at the top echelons of the various forces that we have across the country, i think on the front line police officers know what. what's right and what's wrong. but i think it's a senior level. they just keep getting it wrong . and this is getting it wrong. and this is another example of it. so when the policing minister stands there in downing street yesterday says the police yesterday and says the police have these laws on the books, they should just enforce them . they should just enforce them. >> when the head of the >> and then when the head of the met police says, we don't have these laws, need make new these laws, you need to make new laws we can. who's right laws so that we can. who's right there? the policing minister or there? the policing minister or the met police? the head of the met police? >> the police? the police minister right. in this minister is right. in this instance. absolutely. instance. absolute absolutely. and more more direct and we need more more direct action that's action by the police. that's what the are calling for what the public are calling for and they want to and that's what they want to see. all they have to do is see. and all they have to do is early these protests is early on in these protests is make some arrests . and they make some arrests. and they would have succeeded because others who were coming onto the streets would that streets would have known that they would arrested if they they would get arrested if they acted inappropriately. it's interesting you say that, because yesterday we spoke to

shabnam chaudhry , who was a shabnam chaudhry, who was a former superintendent, and she said the police made the right call . oh, well, i've no doubt call. oh, well, i've no doubt she she's obviously a member of the higher echelons of the police force and reaches this conclusion. but but it's just wrong. the public just do not buy into this for all of policing. you know, i saw a clip on social media of a guy climbing up a scaffold, waving the flag. he climbs back down it and is under this flag back by the police and let to go on his way. why would you allow prime protesters to do things that just aren't acceptable ? and it's just aren't acceptable? and it's almost as though the police are facilitating it. that's how the pubuc facilitating it. that's how the public think. >> i think there's a lot of a lot of fear , particularly when lot of fear, particularly when these are political issues, are just so divisive and they mobilise different communities in this way. very difficult. >> i think it's always also important to note that there have been a number of arrests for people who perhaps have been very clearly over the line. but

i think there has been criticism that line might been that that line might have been drawn as well. so i drawn too far as well. so i think the police would say there drawn too far as well. so i thinithey police would say there drawn too far as well. so i thinithey havee would say there drawn too far as well. so i thinithey have made d say there drawn too far as well. so i thinithey have made 1 say there drawn too far as well. so i thinithey have made 1 ory there drawn too far as well. so i thinithey have made 1 or 2there that they have made 1 or 2 arrests, although, of course , arrests, although, of course, clear political criticism over how far those arrests go. yes >> well, thank you very much indeed for your time this morning. going to get on morning. we were going to get on to sunak's first, 365 days to rishi sunak's first, 365 days in office, but i think that was very interesting indeed. so thank for input there. thank you for your input there. former labour mp simon danczuk joined us there. so moving on, the met office has warned a further heavy downpours in areas already flooded. that's as a result of storm babet. >> yes, the environment agency said flooding could last until wednesday . in parts of england, wednesday. in parts of england, it's said around 1250 homes in england had already been impacted and an estimated 30,000 properties need flood protection. >> yes, there are yellow weather warnings for heavy rain, which could lead to further flooding in the east midlands. much of yorkshire , including sheffield, yorkshire, including sheffield, leeds and york and humberside .

some of the thought to be over 200 hostages held by the terrorist group . in a video terrorist group. in a video released by hamas, we saw these individuals be given biscuits and warm drinks by terrorists with their faces covered in what seemed to be a propaganda effort from the terror group , almost from the terror group, almost pretending to be more humane than in being the same group which beheaded babies and burnt children alive of just over two weeks ago. >> yes , we spoke to mark white. >> yes, we spoke to mark white. our security editor, earlier in the show , about the hostage the show, about the hostage situation . he said that hamas situation. he said that hamas had said they were releasing these hostages for humanitarian indian reasons. these hostages for humanitarian indian reasons . israel, however , indian reasons. israel, however, says that this is a cynical ploy and this is a normal tactic from the organisation that is hamas .

the organisation that is hamas. as you can see, she looks well, she looks she's very elderly woman there is surrounded by press . she's being asked very press. she's being asked very many questions. i understand she's speaking in hebrew currently, but we will get translation for you, i'm sure . translation for you, i'm sure. but, but we're going to be bringing in mark white now just to give us a little bit of context. mark, are you there ? context. mark, are you there? can you tell us how significant this hostage conference is ? is . this hostage conference is? is. mark significant? >> of course. it's a very happy . >> of course. it's a very happy. yes indeed, i am here. it's signified that it is as far as the family are concerned , a very the family are concerned, a very happy and welcome development. but remember , for the husbands but remember, for the husbands of both these women are still being held by hamas. so while , being held by hamas. so while, yes, there's joy at the release

of these two elderly women, there's real concern about . the there's real concern about. the two fathers that are still being held by hamas. 220 hostages that we know of. there's likely to be more than that because israel is still in the process of trying to determine who is a hostage and whether people have actually been killed and their bodies not recovered yet or identified yet . recovered yet or identified yet. so that's why each day that number tends to rise by a few others . but at the moment, it's others. but at the moment, it's 220 hostage and we've got emmanuel macron, who's here in tel aviv. he was meeting himself , golf with family members of french israeli hostages being held by hamas. he said the priority has to be of course, to get those hostages released . but get those hostages released. but he also put his full throated support behind israel. he was

setting with the israeli president and said that he fully supports israel in its endeavour to go in inevitably in a ground war. of course, after hamas and to destroy that terror organisation, france , of course, organisation, france, of course, he said, had suffered from islamist terrorism in the past as well, and continues to have a significant problem now. >> mark, there seems to be a big propaganda effort going on at the moment. the video released by hamas tried to present at this terrorist organisation as almost a caring group with the people that it did not slaughter being given tea and biscuits . being given tea and biscuits. yes, i wonder, is this proper ganda effort by hamas? one of the reasons why the tanks that are currently amassed on the border between israel and gaza have not yet made that ground invasion ? why is there this

invasion? why is there this delay pay for this big ground invasion . in invasion. in >> well, it certainly may be playing in in some shape or form . it's straight out of the hamas playbook is what sources have told me that the hamas terrorist group will drip , drip feed the group will drip, drip feed the release of hostages is potentially over many months to try to get more time to reinforce their position is to prepare traps for the israeli forces when they eventually go in on the ground in gaza . and, in on the ground in gaza. and, of course, to try to divide israel and its supporters because , of course, although because, of course, although you've got these very public displays of support coming from the french president there, from the french president there, from the us and the uk leaders as well, behind the scenes as undoubtedly they are urging caution and perhaps a delay to

the beginning of that ground war because they want to see everything done that can possibly be done to try to ensure that these hostages are released. but israel says that it will not be diverted from its task of trying to go after hamas. at the moment, it's doing that in an aerial form in the air, in the guise of missile strikes and fighter jet strikes on gaza itself . and indeed, in on gaza itself. and indeed, in the north of the country where we know that hezbollah terrorists have been firing anti—tank missiles and other rockets and missiles into evidently over that border, into communities in northern israel . communities in northern israel. but for the families that are speaking at this news conference at the moment of this medical centre here in tel aviv , there centre here in tel aviv, there is undoubted relief at the

release of these two elderly, frail women that were held hostage for more than two weeks. now, doctors have examined them. they say despite that ordeal, they seem to be in pretty good health, which is to be welcomed. however the family members have got to be concerned. they are concerned about the fathers , the concerned about the fathers, the husbands of these two women who are still being held by those hamas terrorist nights. >> mark, just to remind our viewers, we are currently watching and our listeners, we are currently watching a hostage conference and news conference at the hospital in tel aviv where this elderly lady, yocheved lipschitz, is recovering after being freed from hamas last night. mark her daughter, told the bbc earlier today that her mother is keen to share information on what sort of information ocean could she share . share. >> well , depending on,

share. >> well, depending on, you share. >> well , depending on, you know, >> well, depending on, you know, her mental state and how she is after her ordeal of two weeks under hamas control, she might well have some valuable information to share in terms of any indication she might have about where she was held. did she does she know? was she held above the ground or below ground? was it far in terms of the drive to the eventual point where she was handed over the rafah crossing ? how many other rafah crossing? how many other people were held with her? was there a large group of hostages or was was it much smaller groups that kind of informed ocean also, you know, who was guarding them? what she noticed about them, how many of them there were, how well armed they might have been. there's lots of information on potentially that these two women could share with these two women could share with the israel defence forces who are preparing at some point, of

course, to go into gaza . and course, to go into gaza. and that might be at a point where many hostages are still being held. and it could be vital in helping them get a an understanding of the kind of conditions owns that hostages are being held in. >> yes, mark, we're hearing translation that this elderly lady, 85 years old, she says she's been through hell. she describes how she was kidnapped by hamas gunmen on motorbikes. she says they brought her into gaza through a gate with the ride, causing her to suffer bruises. she also says she struggled to breathe. she adds that the israeli government spent billions on the border fence, but it did nothing to stop hamas from getting through. so she continues to recount what has happened to her, to the very many press who are present there were . were. >> well, yes. i mean, interesting that she voiced her

angen interesting that she voiced her anger. it seems , at the fact anger. it seems, at the fact that there is this israeli fence that there is this israeli fence that should protect israeli communities , cities from any communities, cities from any attacks over that border. i'm sure those concerns are shared by many people right across israel. and those questions will have to be answered at some point along with the very obvious into elegance failures about how the israeli military, military and intelligence services did not pick up on what was a very complex plan being planned , we're told, for up to a planned, we're told, for up to a year by these hamas terrorists . year by these hamas terrorists. but yes, you're right, she is describing the ordeal as well . describing the ordeal as well. and it sounds absolutely terrifying. we saw some of the videos of elderly hostages. she says she was on a motorbike. we saw some videos of an elderly woman on a motorbike. another

woman on a motorbike. another woman in a in a pickup truck. and yes, it could must have been absolutely terrifying for this woman not knowing or having seen what was happening to other people around her, whether she would live or die. well, very thankfully, she has now been released. but those images and that ordeal will live with her. and of course, she'll be absolutely beside herself knowing that her husband is still in the hands of these terrorists . terrorists. >> certainly. well, mark, thank you so much for your analysis there live from tel aviv. as we've been seeing these stunning pictures of that hostage yishuv's , who has been released yishuv's, who has been released by hamas overnight and is being comforted now as well as asked questions of in a hospital in central tel aviv. >> yes, talking about her ordeal there. so we'll move on to domestic news. today marks one year since rishi sunak became conservative party leader. he

certainly had a turbulent 365 days, hasn't he ? we're joined days, hasn't he? we're joined now by conservative mp greg smith and also labour mp steve mckay to give their assessment. so greg, i'll start with you . so greg, i'll start with you. what has rishi sunak achieved achieved in the last 365 days as good morning. >> i think first of all, as you said yourself , it's been a said yourself, it's been a turbulent time and i think politics has stable ised a little bit events always take over and add curveballs are thrown . but i think politics has thrown. but i think politics has stabilised far more than it had been for the years that preceded that through the pandemic , that through the pandemic, through going back to 2019, the parliamentary gridlock that led to the 2019 general election. and in the last year, i think that politics has stabilised and i think the prime minister is now, having bedded in in that time started to announce things that are going to really resonate in time with the british public. the more sensible , pragmatic approach to

sensible, pragmatic approach to net zero, seeing sense on hs2, you know, it still needs to go the whole way and get rid of phase one. but seeing sense on that and actually delivering things, particularly for the midlands north that are midlands and the north that are going actually improve going to actually improve people's we need to people's lives, we need to see more of coming out of more of that coming out of downing street and particularly something the cost of something around the cost of living around the tax burden that we're asking people to pay at the moment. that that we're asking people to pay at the moment . that needs to at the moment. that needs to come down. >> steve mccabe. greg smith there pointing to some policy changes that we've seen , changes that we've seen, particularly in the last few months. he's describing a better direction from the country . i'm direction from the country. i'm guessing you disagree with that . guessing you disagree with that. >> well, i think the prime minister is possibly doing his best, but he is a prisoner to factions in his own party. it's kind of obvious that he's not really in control and that policy has been made by little factions within the tory party at the moment. it's

factions within the tory party at the moment . it's utterly at the moment. it's utterly reactive politics and they don't have a grip at all. and of course his own position over something like the farce of not being able to find the foreign for the covid inquiry does call into question his own integrity . into question his own integrity. >> steve, just another question to you, rishi sunaks five priorities halving inflation, growing the economy, reducing debt , cutting growing the economy, reducing debt, cutting nhs waiting lists and stopping the boats. same priorities as keir starmer on paper. priorities as keir starmer on paper . well there are some paper. well there are some similarities . similarities. >> i suppose the difference is that keir didn't create these problems and he hasn't set impossible deadlines with which to deal with them and we would approach all of them differently i >> greg same question to you. is it not the case that there just isn't much difference these days

between what the labour party is offering and what the conservative party is offering ? conservative party is offering? >> well, i think there is a fundamental difference that it's actually the conservative government that are trying to grapple with many of the problems, many of which were actually thrown up by the covid pandemic, by the backlogs that came about because of that, because of the sheer scale of government debt that was taken on in order to pay people's wages through furlough. and the business , etcetera. that business grants, etcetera. that has created the share of has created the lion's share of our economic problems. i think it's the conservatives that can actually grapple that , that can, actually grapple that, that can, if necessary, on the small boats issue, face down the legal establishment. and if there needs to be a plan b, if the supreme court goes against us, take the measures that will be necessary disapply parts of necessary to disapply parts of the echr . in some ways, i hope the echr. in some ways, i hope it doesn't have to come to that level of raw, but there will be clear blue water between us and the labour party because i'm confident it's the conservatives that those that will actually face those problems well voters

problems down. well voters certainly need a choice. >> mccabe seems to have >> steve mccabe seems to have have have gone , disappeared, have have gone, disappeared, vanished. you very have have gone, disappeared, vanistto. you very have have gone, disappeared, vanistto steve you very have have gone, disappeared, vanistto steve mccabe,| very have have gone, disappeared, vanistto steve mccabe, labour mp much to steve mccabe, labour mp and of course conservative mp greg smith there debating rishi sunak's. first year, first 365 days in the job. >> well, still to come, more than 460,000 people will receive a wage rise aligned with the voluntary real living wage scheme . what does it all mean? scheme. what does it all mean? liam halligan will be in the studio to explain it all. >> he will wear gb news,

sunday mornings from 930 on . gb news. >> welcome back . you're watching >> welcome back. you're watching britain's newsroom with emily carver and me. tom hannood now, unemployment has stayed stable at 4.2% in the three months to august . this comes as hundreds august. this comes as hundreds of thousands of uk workers will see a 10% pay rise because their employer is signed up to something called the voluntary real living wage scheme . real living wage scheme. >> yes, this wage, this real living wage will increase to reflect the ongoing cost of living crisis for workers. but joining us in the studio, we have our economics and business editor liam halligan. now we've got a number of things to get through. where would you like to start? >> well, it's a year on since rishi sunak entered number 10. and basically the economy is flatlining. it's not in recession. the german economy is in but it's not doing in recession, but it's not doing nearly well as the us nearly as well as the us economy, is actually economy, which is actually growing well . let's have growing quite well. let's have a look at some of the data that's

come today. as you said, come out today. as you said, tom, unemployment pretty much tom, unemployment is pretty much unchanged 4.2, still very low unchanged at 4.2, still very low by historic standards . that's by historic standards. that's between june and august this year. between june and august this year . but of course there are an year. but of course there are an awful lot of people who just aren't part of the workforce anymore. the kind of missing millions. so that's a slightly flattering number. we have gdp numbers that come out. the official numbers on the size of the economy, but we have indicative survey numbers from the private sector which kind of pre—empt the numbers. they pre—empt the gdp numbers. they called purchasing managers called the purchasing managers index purchasing index and the purchasing managers index reading of 50 plus means growth and less than 50 means less than growth. and check out. our check this out. our manufacturing sector , we're manufacturing sector, we're still of the uk still about 15% of the uk economy, 45.2 in october, slightly up on september, but still less than predicting a contraction in the future. that's right. that's pointing to a slowdown in manufacturing when the official gdp numbers for october come out, the service sector , which of course is 80% sector, which of course is 80% of our economy, not just financial services, but

hospitality , a whole host of hospitality, a whole host of other things , that's at 49.2. other things, that's at 49.2. that's down slightly from 49.3 in september. so just below 50. so the economy is flatlining one year on from rishi sunak taking oven year on from rishi sunak taking over. and of course, the next interest rate decision is on thursday, the 2nd of november. that's next thursday. i personally think given that the economy is flatlining , i think economy is flatlining, i think the bank of england will keep interest rates on hold at 5.25. >> this is interesting because the pmi figures suggest that actually we might have a small contraction, although i guess there's sort of wiggle room there. it might be slight growth, slight negative growth. if the chancellor that's if you're the chancellor that's a very unhappy picture to be looking at. probably less tax revenue coming in than you might want. but if you're the bank of england or if you're looking at wanting interest rates to be at least stable , the fact that our least stable, the fact that our economy isn't overheating is probably indicative of stable interest rates. >> indeed. and the bank of

england will stand accused of driving the economy into a recession . we've already got 14 recession. we've already got 14 interest rate rises in the tank and they're now really starting to feed through. you can see it in the credit numbers, the demand for credit, the amount of credit banks are extending. that's slowing down the economy quite seriously now. but still, the economy is battling, the british economy is battling, battling, battling. we're not yet recession is yet in recession. a recession is two successive quarters of contraction , ian. so that's contraction, ian. so that's basically six months by the shouting of negative pmi numbers or pmi numbers below 50, we've got one month there . and these got one month there. and these things do bob around. these are surveys of business leaders , surveys of business leaders, business owners, how they think it's going. they're not official numbers. >> but if it's 49 or 51, it's all sort of much of a muchness. that's right. >> but look, the basic reality of this is the uk economy. the world economy hasn't really recovered from the pandemic yet. we were meant to have this massive post—pandemic bounce back. it hasn't really happened. the chinese economy is growing slowly. by its standard is,

which is slowing down the rest of the world. >> the eurozone of youth unemployed . unemployed. >> they've stopped >> in china, they've stopped publishing youth publishing the youth unemployment china unemployment numbers in china because so embarrassing . because they're so embarrassing. for president xi and the people's republic. but look, it strikes me that the economy is doing just about okay. it's on a knife edge . the bank of doing just about okay. it's on a knife edge. the bank of england. i would be really surprised if they raised rates next week. of course, more data come out between now and then. so if you've got a mortgage, it seems that you're not going to have to endure yet another interest rate rise. but again, if you're interested in rate rises for savings, then you're not going to any extra money either . to get any extra money either. so, look, has rishi sunak done enough i think so. the enough? i don't think so. the next the next election is going to about the economy. to be all about the economy. they are the economy they always are the economy always dominates in the always dominates politics in the end. sorry, but it's true, right ? sunak did steady the ship after liz truss, but it's not as if the uk economy is booming and the other thing about these slow growth numbers, tom, they're

going pressure on going to really put pressure on jeremy who's rumoured to jeremy hunt, who's rumoured to be seat be standing down from his seat in surrey. course, he won't in surrey. of course, he won't quite big pressure on quite confirm big pressure on him now from his own backbenchers for tax cuts. you've got former ministers like jake berry, ranil jayawardena , jake berry, ranil jayawardena, jacob rees—mogg, pretty patel, liz truss of course, they're part of the conservative growth group . i hear that that is now group. i hear that that is now 65 mp5, group. i hear that that is now 65 mps, which is bigger than the government's majority. so if this autumn statement on the 22nd of november tries to put taxes up, a lot of tory mps aren't going to vote for it. and then you could have a no confidence issue. >> but of course tax cuts are only lever. the government only one lever. the government has boost growth. we'll has to boost growth. but we'll see a flatlining economy see what is a flatlining economy mean to the great british public. mean, mean public. what does it mean, mean for in our pockets as well? >> thank you, liam. thank you, liam. us, all of that still to come. >> no ifs, no sorry, tom. no ifs, no buts. the education secretary has written to schools in england ordering them to make material used in children's sex

education available to be seen by parents warning head teachers there can be no more excuses as and the prime minister blasts police. >> rishi sunak told police to tackle pro—palestinian extremism head on after fury over the failure to arrest protesters chanting jihad. >> yes, we've got that. and much, much more after your morning news. first with ray addison . addison. >> thank you. good morning. it's 1032. our top stories , a british 1032. our top stories, a british hostage freed by hamas says she was taken into tunnels that looked like a spider. web. 85 year old yakov, who was released by her kidnappers last night, also says she was treated well and was seen by a doctor during her ordeal. hamas says she was returned along with israeli citizen nurit cooper on humanitarian grounds. their husbands are still being held. her daughter, sharon , translated her daughter, sharon, translated her comments during a news conference a short while ago.

2—2 weeks with them, i was expecting. gosh , expecting. so i think, gosh, just just let's just hope it doesn't get any worse because at least this lady's come out. she doesn't like she's been doesn't look like she's been bruised traumatised. we bruised or too traumatised. we just it to get worse just don't want it to get worse because animals, because hamas are animals, they're animals, they're massacre part of me so massacre. is there part of me so fearful to provoke them to do anything else to the hostages? i'm fearful for the hostages. i'm so fearful for the hostages. >> nigel, we heard from the daughter of this elderly lady who held hostage this who was held hostage this morning. she told another media channel that her mother would be willing to share information. she's keen to share information with the israeli authorities. there could be some valuable information that she could share, couldn't there? >> what she's got to say is absolutely crucial to any hope of releasing the other hostages . of releasing the other hostages. i mean, what she has said so far is she talked about this sort of spider web of tunnels that they've got that we already knew that. but when she actually speaks to the intelligence

people from from the from the israeli services , at least you israeli services, at least you can start describing some kind ofidea can start describing some kind of idea where she was held, perhaps where other hostages are held . so the mere fact that she held. so the mere fact that she is able to actually share the information and she's obviously quite you know, she's quite clear that she's happy to do that. clear that she's happy to do that . but fact she's that. but the fact she's speaking moment. so speaking at the moment. so despite trauma she's gone despite the trauma she's gone through, she's perfectly prepared to come fonnard and say right now , how help now, right now, how can i help now, she has said that she was first taken with around 24 people and then ended up with five people. >> i don't want to imagine the worst, but but if this is one group of these 200 plus hostages, 220 hostages, they might have been the most nicely treated ones. they might have been the ones that hamas wants to show to the to world pretend how nice they i think they will pencilled to be the ones to release that release because they knew that they that they would be they did know that they would be releasing some hostages as a

bargaining tool. >> maybe these >> so you're right. maybe these are that were pencilled >> so you're right. maybe these ar(be that were pencilled >> so you're right. maybe these ar(be releasedlat were pencilled >> so you're right. maybe these ar(be released andiere pencilled >> so you're right. maybe these ar(be released and who )encilled >> so you're right. maybe these ar(be released and who knowsed to be released and who knows what's happened to the others. i mean, it's an unbearable the families hostages . it's families of these hostages. it's an unbearable existence for them waiting what's going on. >> on. >> absolutely it is. shall we move on to another story ? and move on to another story? and this has to do with school sex education, nigel? yes, it does indeed. >> and this is gillian keegan, the education secretary who's writing to schools to say they must tell parents exactly what their children are learning in sex education classes . schools sex education classes. schools have been sort of trying to delay all this and put obstacles in the way. one of them is copyright. they're saying that they can't share this because it's the copyright of the people who produce it. gillian keegan is none of she's is having none of that. she's saying parents must know saying that parents must know what children are learning what their children are learning . absolutely right. i mean, i don't think parents should have a veto over the classes their children go to , but i don't see children go to, but i don't see why sex education should be any

different from history or economics or english that where parents actually do know what their kids. >> this is quite incredible. the department for education is providing template letters to fight claims of copyright fight off claims of copyright infringement, presumably to parents who want to see this to see this material. do you think that's right? >> oh, it's mind blowing that this is being done, that it's not just common cause, that parents should absolutely see what their children are studying . i was a primary school teacher 25 years ago. i was a primary school teacher for eight years in tottenham, and i actually ended up leaving because the way in tottenham, and i actually en(educate>aving because the way in tottenham, and i actually en(educate ourlg because the way in tottenham, and i actually en(educate our children ;e the way in tottenham, and i actually en(educate our children was e way in tottenham, and i actually en(educate our children was wasiy we educate our children was was becoming further and further away way that i away from where the way that i felt children should be educated. you know, we just teach lot there's teach us there's a lot there's a lot bullying that on in lot of bullying that goes on in the room. i wouldn't have the staff room. i wouldn't have put up with this. i wouldn't i would handing the would have been handing out the leaflets parents straight leaflets to the parents straight away. no way would be away. there's no way i would be giving the 11 year olds, ten and 11 year olds that i was teaching this type of literature without letting the parents be aware.

but been sacked as but i would have been sacked as a and this is the a teacher. and this is the problem. you know, we common sense i said sense has gone and i and i said it to nigel earlier, i said the only people that don't want parents to know what their children being told at children are being told at school want to school are because they want to groom with kind groom them with this kind of sick ideology. need sick ideology. we parents need to absolutely aware of what to be absolutely aware of what their children are being taught at all times. have children to at all times. i have children to bnng at all times. i have children to bring them up. do not want the bring them up. i do not want the state children. state bringing up my children. it's response to see it's my response ability to see what my children are taught, and especially that are especially these things that are kind we are coming through kind of we are coming through now wokeism now that are just modern wokeism about about all of about gender and about all of this that's going on and breast binding and children are, especially teenagers, young teenagers have enough to go through. through a real through. they go through a real penod through. they go through a real period turmoil, turmoil period of turmoil, turmoil of finding themselves. we don't want things in want to be putting things in front of them. they're going to make harder. front of them. they're going to ma but harder. front of them. they're going to ma but they arder. front of them. they're going to ma but they learn about they >> but they learn about they ought to learn about those kind >> but they learn about they outhings, earn about those kind >> but they learn about they outhings, too. about those kind >> but they learn about they outhings, too. this1t those kind >> but they learn about they outhings, too. this isthose kind >> but they learn about they outhings, too. this is what kind of things, too. this is what i mean about now. we get into the controversial areas where i think shouldn't the think parents shouldn't have the right the that right to veto. so the fact that we talk trans issues so, we talk about trans issues so, so much, for instance, i think that a part in the

that must play a part in the education of children. they're going about it. going to be curious about it. they're to ask about it. they're going to ask about it. >> well, and if they do, then the parents can them at the parents can answer them at home, they? i don't think home, can't they? i don't think there's a place for education about school. about trans at school. >> well, it may well be is >> well, it may well be for is for child will find it more for a child will find it more comfortable to talk teacher comfortable to talk to a teacher than they to parent, than they would to a parent, especially it's especially if they if it's something thinking something that they are thinking about something that they are thinking abowell, we saw what happened >> well, we saw what happened with that student that questions trans ideology in classroom. trans ideology in the classroom. that absolutely that teacher was absolutely vile to because is to her because there is a complete political element about this. agree. this. so i don't agree. >> the recording was >> yes, the recording was uncovered from a from a classroom. where two girls, i classroom. where to two girls, i think bright, were shown to think very bright, were shown to be dismissed , let's say, in be dismissed, let's say, in strong terms by their teacher when questioned certain when they questioned certain areas of the gender discussion. do you not that parents do you not think that parents should a right to withdraw should have a right to withdraw their children from sex education, or do you think that shouldn't happen? no, i don't, actually. >> i mean, i think that there's no reason why a parent can't complain about it. there's no reason why parents shouldn't discuss the school. and discuss with the school. and i think that when it comes down to

what the curriculum is, this is a job for parliament to actually sort out. so once that's been established , no parents because established, no parents because parents have to send their children to school or at least educate them in some way or another , and they could always another, and they could always give schooling on that give a home schooling on that basis that no, that they shouldn't then withdraw. >> an ideology, of >> nigel this is an ideology, of course, education should be course, sex education should be taughtin course, sex education should be taught in schools, but children should you know, should be taught how. you know, as say in the old as we used to say in the old days, the birds and bees work. but this is an ideology that i don't believe schools should be well, shouldn't be taught well, they shouldn't be taught something with mean, >> i agree with you. i mean, politicians shouldn't into politicians shouldn't enter into trans ideology. politicians shouldn't enter into trans political, and therefore >> is political, and therefore it taught it shouldn't be taught to children it shouldn't be taught to chi|yes, you could actually >> yes, but you could actually do it factually in same way do it factually in the same way that you were teaching polish that if you were teaching polish to children, you can still do that in a neutral way without without being the without being partisan. the leader you leader of the party that you follow can't identify what a woman is. >> how are they going to >> so how are they going to teach factually when the teach it factually when the leader labour party can't leader of the labour party can't even women? even identify a women? >> the issue here is not >> i think the issue here is not necessarily what the curriculum

is, but it's the materials that teachers use in the classroom. they're often provided by outside bodies . and so therefore outside bodies. and so therefore there is this copyright issue , there is this copyright issue, these bodies. >> who's deciding if these what these bodies are bringing into schools is correct? well, exactly. >> and that's clearly what the education to education secretary is trying to get for her. >> is there not a worry here that we saw what happened in birmingham outside schools in the last couple of years where religious groups have been trying to pull their own children out of schools, indeed hounding teachers at schools because they teach that gay people exist? yes. and is there not a worry here that perhaps that same attitude might be behind some of this sex and relationship, education, scepticism that we're seeing now? is there a parallel that can be drawn there? >> you know, for me, there is a lot of common sense that goes on and there's a lot of common sense being thrown out of the window. you know, a man is a man. a woman is a woman. gay

people, you know, are are people that love the same sex. it's really confusing, though, with the issue. think the trans issue. and i think that's where it gets very confusing . and teaching children confusing. and teaching children very children about breast very young children about breast binding, removing their breasts, this of thing . i think at this type of thing. i think at this type of thing. i think at this complex time of their age shouldn't be down to the schools to decide . think needs to decide. i think it needs a lot of reviewing before it's just thrown in by external bodies into schools which bodies into schools of which parents can't see. >> i think it's an extremely difficult one because, as nigel says, children will ask questions . ions i mean, you questions. ions i mean, you know, the gender ideology, trans issues , transgenderism is issues, transgenderism is something that they are exposed to. if they can't talk to their teachers about it. is that a problem? is that a failure of education? i don't know. it's a difficult one, but i take your point, tom, about the religious aspect. >> could this lead there are >> could this lead to there are big questions terms of how big questions in terms of how far material is it just far the material is it just saying that trans people exist or is it saying these are the processes that can go down? processes that you can go down? i those are two very i mean, those are two very different arguments, suppose different arguments, i suppose transparency perhaps transparency here is perhaps where ground meets .

where the middle ground meets. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> parents, you to take >> parents, you have to take in mind psychology and mind children's psychology and that's what they don't take in mind. things are catchy, you know, when in a school, when a child starts self—harming, for example , it becomes a group. and example, it becomes a group. and then you find that there's a strong of those strong percentage of those children that start self—harming. same with anorexia and trans issues . so and same with trans issues. so we to be very careful with we have to be very careful with teenage psychology and the way their are formed. teenage psychology and the way the there are formed. teenage psychology and the way the there is are formed. teenage psychology and the way the there is certainly formed. teenage psychology and the way the there is certainly anrmed. teenage psychology and the way the there is certainly an element >> there is certainly an element of contagion in in our of social contagion in in our schools, i'm sure. shall we move on been happening on schools, i'm sure. shall we move on streets? been happening on schools, i'm sure. shall we move on streets? nigel happening on schools, i'm sure. shall we move on streets? nigel rishiening on schools, i'm sure. shall we move on streets? nigel rishi sunaknn our streets? nigel rishi sunak blasts metropolitan for blasts metropolitan police for not acting on jihadi chants. we were discussing this earlier in the what is your take the show, but what is your take that you shouldn't criminalise a word seriously, in the word seriously, not even in the context ? context? >> well, you shouldn't criminalise a word has criminalise a word which has different meanings, and that's the point about jihadi. different meanings, and that's the point aboutjihadi. it does the point about jihadi. it does have different meanings. so i can't quite see that how you would get to prosecution in court for chanting that. now, the police seems to me, mark rowley, the met commissioner, has been quite sensible about

this. he says, look , if you're this. he says, look, if you're chanting jihadi at a protest, most people in this country would associate that with terror . but but it also means other things. it means in a struggle. so that's the greater jihadi rather than the lesser one, which is the holy war, i suppose here. >> nigel, there's tone is important in the same way that if you shout fire in a crowded theatre that does not have the same free speech protections than if you're just talking about fire in a nice, reasonable conversation around a table. that's true. so if you shout out jihad, perhaps that's a different sort of level of criticism than if you just were to say the word. >> context is key. nigel yes, but you're asking the police then to actually work on the basis of what was the tone , what basis of what was the tone, what was context and so on. was the context and so on. >> and this is where i think mark rowley right. if the, mark rowley is right. if the, the government wants the police to do so with, with rigour, they've got to have more rigorous laws to actually do it. it's too vague on the margins on

this one. >> and tanya, there's another piece here in the sun asking why do cops do nothing when protesters shout kill the jews, yet they arrest women. at silent vigil for sarah everard. is that a fair comparison? >> fair. same with >> absolutely fair. same with what during the lockdown what went on during the lockdown marches that we were all on. the police were really heavy handed and vile to us, and yet they're not. i mean, i don't agree. i think once you shout out jihadi in a crowded place as they are doing in these marches, it is a hate and you should hate word. and yes, you should be it . i hate word. and yes, you should be it. i absolutely be arrested for it. i absolutely agree that there are and of course, there are certain words that can't use. none of us that you can't use. none of us here would the n word that here would use the n word that would be would be called would be we would be called racists. that's racists. if we did. so that's accessible. acceptable. racists. if we did. so that's acc in iible. acceptable. racists. if we did. so that's acc in ten . acceptable. racists. if we did. so that's acc in ten years acceptable. racists. if we did. so that's acc in ten years a acceptable. racists. if we did. so that's acc in ten years a slavetable. racists. if we did. so that's acc in ten years a slave isnle. racists. if we did. so that's acc in ten years a slave is fine. >> in ten years a slave is fine. >> in ten years a slave is fine. >> it? you there are >> is it? you know, there are certain words that must be outlawed. >> are there, though? because that's an interesting example. the is an word that the n word is an awful word that we use in society, we shouldn't use in society, would chastise would rightly chastise people for but not to for using it. but you're not to going imprisoned for using it. >> i think you might actually under hate crimes and just like, you know, again,

you know, with again, we're going to trans issues. going back to the trans issues. but there was people that but there there was people that have been gone prison. the have been gone to prison. the christian dave christian evangelist dave mcconnell having mcconnell ended up having a fine, a fine of £620 for homophobic hate crime, for saying a man is a man and a woman is a woman. so if this can happen, then of course, these people that are protesting and shouting think what we shouting jihadi, i think what we need bear in mind is the context. >> and we've seen footage from there where there was clearly calls for, let's say , muslim calls for, let's say, muslim armies violence at the same armies and violence at the same time, although we shouldn't impugn every single protester with those same absolutely separate rally , in the next few separate rally, in the next few minutes, we'll take you to a press conference with three immediate family members of those or hostage those murdered or taken hostage in october 7th hamas in the october the 7th hamas massacres southern israel. massacres in southern israel. we're gb news. >> again. it's alex >> hello again. it's alex burkill latest burkill here with your latest news weather forecast. it's a wet picture today. many of us will see some heavy rain or a scattering of showers, but also some sunny spells starting off looking at the bigger picture. and there various and there are various low pressure systems out in the

atlantic. are going atlantic. they are going to bnng atlantic. they are going to bring unsettled weather through this the moment, we this week. but at the moment, we have a low pressure the north have a low pressure in the north sea is bringing some sea and that is bringing some blustery north sea blustery winds to some north sea coastal parts , but a spell coastal parts, but also a spell of persistent rain across of heavy, persistent rain across eastern north eastern parts of england. here. we could see totals up risk of some totals building up risk of some disruption, some flooding is possible elsewhere , some sunny possible elsewhere, some sunny spells in the sunny spells . spells and in the sunny spells. temperatures too temperatures not doing too badly. of around 15, badly. highs of around 15, possibly 16 celsius. but there will also be quite a few showers around today as well as we go later on, we are going to see that rain over eastern north eastern easing little eastern england easing a little bit, but some heavy rain then pushing into more southern parts of wales. of england and perhaps wales. again could see some again here. we could see some high so some disruption high totals. so some disruption is quite likely. some flooding is quite likely. some flooding is for many . is quite likely. some flooding is for many. it's going is possible for many. it's going to a chillier tonight, to be a chillier night tonight, particularly in western parts where have some skies, where we have some clear skies, perhaps frost for perhaps a touch of frost for scotland. and first thing scotland. and then first thing wednesday wet picture wednesday morning, a wet picture in the southeast, some heavy rain disruption likely during the morning rush hour, but that rain does clear away. further

rain does clear away. further rain then piling in from the north sea, affecting eastern parts of scotland. that coming in where we're still in places where we're still recovering storm babet. recovering from storm babet. othennise, a drier slice othennise, then a drier slice before some wetter weather arrives later on. >> right. any moment now , we'll >> right. any moment now, we'll take you to a press conference with three immediate family members of those murdered or taken hostage in the october the 7th hamas massacres in southern israel . yes. israel. yes. >> and we know that these individuals have both had family members taken from them and some have had family members sadly killed . we're looking at live killed. we're looking at live pictures as of this imminent press conference, of course. let me just describe the room for those listening on the radio. we have on the one side of the desk, the british flag on the other, the israeli flag, and behind the seats of those who are to going be talking in just some moments time, missing posters and posters of family members of these individuals who

have been taken in israel, either been confirmed to be hostages or or have been missing since those terrible events just over two weeks ago. yes. >> and these appear to be the same posters that we've seen. oh, we're crossing live to netanyahu enclave of isis , netanyahu enclave of isis, thousands of kilometres away from europe. >> it's isis in the suburbs of paris. it's isis. >> it's isis in the suburbs of paris. it's isis . you can drive paris. it's isis. you can drive 20 minutes and you reach the suburbs of paris and you have isis there. we cannot live like that. nobody can live like that . that. nobody can live like that. so we are doing everything we need to do to destroy hamas in gaza. we will dismantle all its terror machine . we will terror machine. we will dismantle its political structure . we will make every structure. we will make every effort to release our hostages and will make every effort to keep palestinian civilians out of harm's way. it's important to understand hamas is committing a

double war crime. it's not only murdering our civilians, targeting our civilians , doing targeting our civilians, doing unspeakable war crimes. they're also hiding behind civilians, their own civilians . as we ask their own civilians. as we ask their own civilians. as we ask the people of gaza to leave, to go to a safe zone in the south where we're enabling humanitarian aid to reach them, hamas is putting checkpoints with guns, with people with guns to prevent palestinians from leaving the war zone. hamas is responsible for civilian casualties. but we will do every effort to avoid them and to fight this war as speedily and as as rapidly as we can. but it could be a long war when this is oven could be a long war when this is over, the people of israel will rebuild their community and the people of gaza will no longer live under hamas tyranny . but live under hamas tyranny. but first, there's one condition and one condition for anything that could happen and the good things that could happen once this war is over. and that condition is that hamas must be destroyed and

ithank that hamas must be destroyed and i thank you, emmanuel, for coming here to israel, for standing with israel, for standing with israel, for standing with israel, for standing with us in israel and expressing your support. we rely on your continued support as this important battle for our future, our common future proceeds till victory. thank you i >> thank you very much, mr prime minister. dear bibi, thank you for your words. and i want to thank you for the discussion we had together in tete a tete and with our delegation . and i'm with our delegation. and i'm here to express our support, our solidarity and our support for today, tomorrow , in all the today, tomorrow, in all the different fields of this battle against terrorism . if you allow against terrorism. if you allow me, i will say a few words in french. i don't know if there is a translation, but i will make sure that you understand. mr prime minister , if purple prime minister, if purple israeli toot condolence de la

france condolence des m. terrorist for those just joining us, we are listening to a press conference between the french president emmanuel macron and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> macron arrived in israel earlier today and we've already heard the israeli prime minister talk about israel's experience with hamas as if isis terrorists were based just miles from paris . we heard that stark comparison from the israeli prime minister in his introductory remarks , in his introductory remarks, emmanuel macron, the french president , began emmanuel macron, the french president, began his emmanuel macron, the french president , began his remarks emmanuel macron, the french president, began his remarks in english, is currently speaking french. and we understand he will return to speaking in engush will return to speaking in english a little bit later in this press conference. concurrent there is a press conference about to start in london with families of some of those taken by hamas. and when

we get news from that, we will bnng we get news from that, we will bring you that, too. but as i say, currently, emmanuel macron and benjamin netanyahu speaking at a press conference in tel aviv. let's cross now to mark white, also in tel aviv, our security editor. mark, how significant is this meeting today ? today? >> well , it's very significant. >> well, it's very significant. he is the latest world leader to arrive here into israel to throw full support behind israel will in its endeavours to go in, to take on hamas, and that will inevitably mean at some point a ground offensive. now of course, there's one thing seeing what he's seeing in public, but i think there's no doubt that in the back channels for france, the back channels for france, the uk , the us and alike are the uk, the us and alike are urging caution for on israel's part, they want to ensure that as much time is given as possible to the release of the

hostages. and we saw, of course , hostages. and we saw, of course, the latest two hostages who were released last night and they have been examined in hospital there and are in good condition despite their ordeal. after more than two weeks. and in fact , we than two weeks. and in fact, we had a news conference from one of those elderly former hostages , yaakov ed and she really was an incredible woman. the fact that she had just been released a few hours earlier but felt strong enough to appear before the cameras with her daughter, sharon, who lives in london, to thank everyone for all of their support, but also to say how determined she is to help give the israelis and the idf as much information as she can about the conditions she was held in. it appears she was held in tunnels. she was speaking about a spider web of tunnels that she was

taken through. so that kind of information may well be useful to the israeli defence forces as they inevitably go into gaza. and they may have to look for hostages that are still held there , where they held above there, where they held above ground , below ground. what kind ground, below ground. what kind of conditions are they in? how many people are there guarding them? all of that kind of information. it seems that she's only too willing to help the israeli defence forces with mark are do we know of any french, israeli , israeli or jew dual israeli, israeli orjew dual nationals that have been caught up in in in the hostage situation? >> are there any french hostages as . as. >> yes, there are. there are french israeli hostages. and in fact, french israeli hostages. and in fact , president macron french israeli hostages. and in fact, president macron met french israeli hostages. and in fact , president macron met with fact, president macron met with some of the families of those french israeli hostages when he

arrived in tel aviv this morning, i should say, as well . morning, i should say, as well. there is a schedule , a plan for there is a schedule, a plan for president macron. once he has concluded his news conference and meetings here in tel aviv to head to the west bank to speak to the palestinian authority president, mahmoud abbas, one of the very few world leaders to do that. so that is important in and of itself. and it will be interesting thing to hear what the palestinian president has to say in terms of a constructive way fonnard out of this horrible mess that everyone finds themselves in in this region at themselves in in this region at the moment. it seems almost unthinkable to imagine a two state solution and some kind of diplomatic end to what has happened here. but it will have to happen in the fullness of time. and i think that's what president macron and other world

leaders do have in mind as they are speaking to israel and also trying to ensure that israel has uppermost in its mind that at some point there will have to be peace talks, there will have to be a solution put in place for the governance of gaza and the other palestinian territories . other palestinian territories. >> well, mark, thank you very much for that latest update live from tel aviv. as the french president and israeli prime minister meet in jerusalem, we will be now getting a live news update from ray addison . update from ray addison. >> thanks, guys. good morning. it's 11:05. our top stories. a hostage freed by hamas says she was taken into tunnels that looked like a spider web . 85 looked like a spider web. 85 year old yakov , who was released year old yakov, who was released by her kidnappers last night, also says she was treated well and was seen by a doctor during

nice . okay okay. thank you . i nice. okay okay. thank you. i saw my childhood friends. we have a mutual whatsapp group saying that there's a missile attack and also a ground invasion by hamas terrorists and that they were inside my family's kibbutz. so i called my mother frantically and i said, go in the safe room, lock the doon go in the safe room, lock the door, don't let anyone in. don't answer . little did they know you answer. little did they know you can't lock the door from the inside because this was never thought of. so the room is designed concrete and metal to shelter them from rockets. but it isn't a lock, she said the house wasn't locked and the next thing i heard were man's voices speaking to her in english with an accent in arabic. maybe they heard her speaking english to me. my mother was born and

raised in south africa, so . so raised in south africa, so. so i immediately realised what was happening. and then they got to her. so i hung up the phone and i called my brother . he lives i called my brother. he lives next door ten metres from her and i said, go in the safe room, lock the door, don't let anyone else in. i don't know what's happening at mom's because i didn't want to tell him what i already knew because i wanted him to, to react and not to panic. and the next thing i had the same voice as speaking to him. so i realised they got him to i called , i called a friend to i called, i called a friend on the kibbutz to just let them know that the terrorists were at my mom's and that my brothers and to send help . but no one, no and to send help. but no one, no one, no one could could get there because our little security guards were already engagedin security guards were already engaged in battle with the west group on other neighbourhoods in the kibbutz . then i got to

the kibbutz. then i got to pictures . i mean, it's later pictures. i mean, it's later sent to me from my mom's phone to my showing . i can do this to my showing. i can do this without a mic. if you want. is it? can anyone? can everyone hear me okay, so the next thing i. i got two pictures sent to me from my mom's phone to mine showing my mother sitting in the living room still in her nightwear . my. my brother nightwear. my. my brother sitting on the sofa. so they brought my brother from his house to a to hers. he was dressed but barefoot underneath the two pictures. it said in english, hamas , a third picture english, hamas, a third picture of the same series they uploaded hamas upload it to my mom's facebook story. so my mom is 79.

she she doesn't know how to upload images to facebook story . upload images to facebook story. so someone else did that. and the pictures are not selfies , so the pictures are not selfies, so it's obvious they were taken by a third party and that was the last i heard of them . i later last i heard of them. i later learned a neighbour saw them being taken, walked out of the house and taken by foot . but i house and taken by foot. but i didn't know that at the time. i've only learned that a couple of days later that they were actually seen walked out of the house. so the next few hours i justi house. so the next few hours i just i was just waiting for the army to get to my mom's house and see what what they could find the first few hours , i find the first few hours, i thought they were gone, dead . thought they were gone, dead. both my mom and my brother were i thought they were probably murdered. the news of civilians being kidnapped only started

circulating around noon. so until noon , i didn't even until noon, i didn't even imagine the possibility . i just imagine the possibility. i just thought i've lost them . and all thought i've lost them. and all i wanted was my other brother and my friends and my friends families out because i. i figured this this tragedy hit me . it's going to hit me really hard. i don't want anyone else to go through what i'm about to go through . around noon , the go through. around noon, the news about the kidnappings started circulating, and then i started circulating, and then i started thinking maybe the pictures were proof of life . pictures were proof of life. maybe they were taking . i didn't maybe they were taking. i didn't even know what was the better opfion even know what was the better option being killed or being kidnapped by hamas . so it was a kidnapped by hamas. so it was a waiting, waiting period until around seven in the evening when the army managed to get to my

mom and my brother's house. and i got a phone call from from the kibbutz telling me my mom and my brother were missing and so was my older brother . i wasn't in my older brother. i wasn't in touch with him all day because we never spoke during a missile attack or an event. we always spoke after . so i wasn't in spoke after. so i wasn't in touch with him. i was informed he was missing to his phone, was found in his house the next day , found in his house the next day, 9:00, 9:00 in the morning. i drove to the nearest police station to my house to file a formal missing persons report and to submit my dna. formal missing persons report and to submit my dna . and as and to submit my dna. and as i went into the police station, i received a phone call from my family's kibbutz that my oldest brother, roy, was 40, who was 54, was found , and his body was

54, was found, and his body was found at daylight. he was shot dead behind his house, murdered . dead behind his house, murdered. so i filed a missing report for my mom and my brother . the mass my mom and my brother. the mass casualties . bodies are still casualties. bodies are still being identified as we speak because of the numbers and because of the numbers and because of the conditions of those who were murdered 18 days later. my brother's body hasn't been identified officially just yet . i'm 46 been identified officially just yet. i'm 46 years old. my life at the moment is worrying for my diabetic mom and brother who are being held by hamas . my mother being held by hamas. my mother needs insulin shots. i don't

know if she's getting them and how long she can survive without them. and then on the end , i'm them. and then on the end, i'm chasing dental records and x rays and filing for forms, asking me if my brother had scars or tattoos or which he didn't . so trying to identify my didn't. so trying to identify my brother so we can bury him and bnng brother so we can bury him and bring him to rest. brother so we can bury him and bring him to rest . and then and bring him to rest. and then and then bringing my mom and my other brother home. so this has been my life for the last 17, 18 days now , 18 days. i find it days now, 18 days. i find it when i ask people what day is it? they say monday or tuesday , it? they say monday or tuesday, and i count by numbers. no, it's day 18 . i lost and i count by numbers. no, it's day 18. i lost. and i count by numbers. no, it's

who's been speaking about her mother, who is 79, her brother who is 51, who were taken hostage. her other brother was also murdered , as we've heard. also murdered, as we've heard. we're joined by nigel nelson and tonia buxton, who are just who have been listening to this press conference. and nigel, your reaction, first of all. >> well, i mean , itjust shows >> well, i mean, itjust shows the horror that that these hostages have been facing in and appeals like this . i mean, i'm appeals like this. i mean, i'm not sure that you can actually see get through to hamas on the basis of the humanitarian need to actually, you know, the humane thing to do is to release these people. but it certainly can't certainly should help to actually show the world what people are actually suffering at the moment. >> yes. tonya, her brother, she has two brothers, her other brother murdered by hamas , two brother murdered by hamas, two family members still missing. you can hear from her voice just

how awful this is for her. she talks about raising awareness for other families to i mean, i admire her. >> i mean , i admire her for >> i mean, i admire her for being brave enough to go up and talk about it. i mean, i would be broken. but yes , she's trying be broken. but yes, she's trying to raise awareness of other families. she's actually if hamas aren't listening to this , hamas aren't listening to this, hopefully people around the world who are shouting jihad die in these protests all around the world will be listening to this and show a bit of humanity. that's the thing that's been missing from all of this. there has been very little humanity shown through to those kidnapped and the family of the kidnapped. and hopefully by these people coming fonnard and speaking about their experiences, people will understand . and this is will understand. and this is this is beyond evil . this is beyond evil. >> no, really, really stark to listen to mrs. savitsky say , i listen to mrs. savitsky say, i didn't know what was better, what was the better option? being killed or being kidnapped by hamas. and it's that sense of

uncertainty in terms of what are they doing to those people in those tunnels, particularly , those tunnels, particularly, what are they doing to those children ? children? >> yeah, we have if you remember , >> yeah, we have if you remember i , >> yeah, we have if you remember , i mean, last week we had the father it was father who was saying it was a blessing that his daughter was killed than actually killed rather than actually taken which shows the taken hostage, which shows the kind of fear that people have . kind of fear that people have. and certainly in that part of israel or for hamas and what they might might do to them. i mean, you know, you can't live there without having a safe room , which is barricaded to stop these people getting in. >> also, tonya, incredibly difficult for the israeli government and defence for is they're planning a ground assault. of course, concerns that some of their missiles, their strikes into gaza could could hurt hostages. israeli hostages, too. very difficult for them to very difficult to control the impact. >> very difficult. and this is where they have to be really, really careful and not just the

israeli hostages. you know , israeli hostages. you know, there are palestinian children who are being killed constantly . who are being killed constantly. and the problem is, is that hamas is not allowing a lot of the palestinian people to come out. that is also added. so all of these innocent people, all innocents being slaughtered. and either is horrific. but i do either way is horrific. but i do really, really urge israel to try and infiltrate better. you know, we know that mossad, they are capable of infiltrating hamas. they need to infiltrate better and try and get these hostages out alive because it's too hard. can you imagine being the mothers, the sisters, the partners of people that are taken away and just not being knowing what's going on and as that father said, he was thanking god that his daughter was dead rather than be kidnapped . that must be how kidnapped. that must be how these people are feeling. but across the board, there is pain and suffering. you've got to be careful how we proceed now. yes >> and the palestinian health ministry has said more than 5000

people have been killed in gaza over the past 2—2 weeks. those are their figures coming from the palestinian health ministry. huge humanitarian crisis unfolding. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> let's dip back in to listen to the words of ofri bibas levi, who is speaking now , her who is speaking now, her brother, along with his whole family, have been taken by hamas i >> -- >> it was bleeding from his head . the terrorist and another picture is really strangling him . and this picture, i can see the there's a hammer here with blood on it. and my head, my brother's head is bleeding . and brother's head is bleeding. and those pictures and the series video with the kids is our last sign of life from them. 18 days ago . and . and ever since it's ago. and. and ever since it's like living in a nightmare and the pictures keep running in front of my eyes and i feel guilty for eating . i feel guilty

guilty for eating. i feel guilty for sleeping in my own bed. i feel guilty for playing with my children or covering my children at night . my children or covering my children at night. my so is four years old. she's our last best friend . old. she's our last best friend. just two days before the attack , just two days before the attack, arielle was telling his mom , arielle was telling his mom, shiri, that he wants to leave the kibbutz and come live next to us, next to my daughter. they were planning on leaving the area. they couldn't be living in this anxiety anymore with the missiles . we never imagined missiles. we never imagined anything like this going happening . and yeah, and now happening. and yeah, and now yesterday they were talking about freeing some hostages . about freeing some hostages. it's really confusing . it's like it's really confusing. it's like a psychological torture for us. the families here in the release in this one or this one, we want them , all of them back. and we them, all of them back. and we want all of them back now, together. and . and we need all

together. and. and we need all of you to spread it and making the important people in the government and all around the world just putting an end to the to this horrible story . and to this horrible story. and thank you . and my name is david bao. >> originally from leeds . >> originally from leeds. >> originally from leeds. >> i've been living in israel since 1984. >> and on kibbutz alumim . since >> and on kibbutz alumim. since 1991. kibbutz is actually built on two pioneering groups from england , from the youth group of england, from the youth group of bnei akiva i'll start by answering ayelet . answering ayelet. >> it was easier to bury our our loved ones than to go through the anguish that they're going through and i can't believe i'm saying that we buried my sister

in law . naomi saying that we buried my sister in law. naomi took four saying that we buried my sister in law . naomi took four days to in law. naomi took four days to identify what we call the smile of the south of israel . of the south of israel. >> she was well known. she worked as a dental assistant . worked as a dental assistant. and in the past few years also as a perfect freak , she simply as a perfect freak, she simply went for a run near kibbutz yad mordechai towards nativa sara , mordechai towards nativa sara, the erez crossing . and although the erez crossing. and although it took a few hours because they took shelter because of the missiles , she was shot in the missiles, she was shot in the back and shot again in the head at point blank range . when we at point blank range. when we mourned her death , we sat for

mourned her death, we sat for a week . we were left with guilty week. we were left with guilty feelings . more mourning for her. feelings. more mourning for her. wait a minute. look what's going on? thinking of the others. why aren't we thinking of her? life is turned upside down by death. by hatred , by evil people , by hatred, by evil people, monsters . kibbutz alumim is monsters. kibbutz alumim is a religious settlement . a religious settlement. a religious settlement. a religious kibbutz which sits between kfar asa and kibbutz be'eri . and together with all be'eri. and together with all the other kibbutzim and moshavim , we are all one people. 15 to 18,000 people who live in the area who have all been evacuated . that's what i have . area who have all been evacuated . that's what i have. i area who have all been evacuated . that's what i have . i left . that's what i have. i left felt like my father, who left vienna in 1939 . 630 that morning

vienna in 1939. 630 that morning , the rockets came over, but we're used to that 20 years we've had it . the we're used to that 20 years we've had it. the family that we went to stay with until the body could be identified . we live in could be identified. we live in a place called nitzan between ashdod and ashkelon. >> we've been listening to here david barr, a man originally from leeds who moved to israel and whose sister in law and mother of three was murdered, shotin mother of three was murdered, shot in the head at point blank range while on her normal morning run. he said there it was easier to bury his loved ones than it must have been for the two women sitting either side of him at that press conference who just don't know what is happening to their family. taken hostage . tonya, family. taken hostage. tonya,

some really say dark moments in that testimony. >> absolute stark. the fact that they said it took four days to be able to know that it was naomi because she was shot at point blank range . it's point blank range. it's horrifying, the image is horrifying. but you know what? this is also reminding me we can see all those posters behind there of all the kidnapped children people . and if children and people. and if you're a jew living in london or living in britain, it's the one thing that you could do is put up those pictures so you feel like you're doing something. and then we saw the footage of those young girls pulling them then we saw the footage of those youngand girls pulling them then we saw the footage of those youngand saying'ls pulling them then we saw the footage of those youngand saying thatjlling them then we saw the footage of those youngand saying that they'relem down and saying that they're doing it palestine in. can doing it for palestine in. can you the way that this is you see the way that this is this hatred is so twisted and disgusting ? disgusting? >> and that's exactly what david barr there, who is continuing to speak, was saying , how life has speak, was saying, how life has been turned upside down by hatred, evil monsters, before we heard from david, we heard from another woman, ofri babar levi , another woman, ofri babar levi, whose brother , her wife, whole whose brother, her wife, whole

family taken hostage and still are missing . are missing. >> yes. and i think that, you know , that what ofri said really know, that what ofri said really sort of struck me was the what she described as the psychology, tickle torture. all the families are going through here. you have are going through here. you have a situation where a few of the hostages are being released . hostages are being released. they want to know what is happening to their own loved ones. the rest of them . so each ones. the rest of them. so each ones. the rest of them. so each one that comes out, it becomes it is a torture for them to see that knowing that their loved ones are still are still being held there. i mean , one assumes held there. i mean, one assumes there is some kind of deal going on behind the scenes that brokered by probably by by qatar to start getting the hostages out. but we are only getting them out in dribs and drabs. we're still talking about at least 200 being still there . least 200 being still there. >> and macron, the french president , we went live to president, we went live to a joint press statement with him and benjamin netanyahu , the and benjamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister one of the priorities in those

conversations, it is reported, is to prioritise ease the return of hostage is first and foremost. but they're not going to do it, are they? >> they're just going to keep stringing everything along and these drips and drabs, one hostage here, one hostage there, and then they're not going to release them all. i don't believe they're all alive. and so i just think they're so i just don't think they're going them all. going to release them all. so i don't know what situation is we are in. we are in the modern day. it's 2023 are living day. it's 2023 and we are living through horror that no one through a horror that no one could have imagined. this is unimaginable horror and it's incredible that we have no solutions to this and no way of fixing this. but hamas , whatever fixing this. but hamas, whatever you think they have to go. they have to be obliterated from humanity because what they've doneis humanity because what they've done is evil and they knew by doing this that it would set off this chain of events where all there is are suffering and dying for all the people involved. >> and what a stark reminder for when david barr said there that he felt like his father , who

he felt like his father, who fled vienna in 1939, who fled that persecution just because he was jewish. now, david barr has had to leave israel, evacuate his home because of the same sort of jew hate that exists in that part of the world. israel was supposed to be the safe place where jewish people could go and not be persecuted as they have been for two millennia. and now not even that is a safe place for them. it is . it should place for them. it is. it should really send a tingle down everyone's spines that that this persecuted minority can't even feel safe in what is supposed to be their own homeland . and we'll be their own homeland. and we'll have much, much more reaction to this breaking news here on gb news

and people that i knew had dewbs & co weeknights from . six & co weeknights from. six >> welcome back to britain's newsroom on gb news with me, emily carver and tom hannood. >> before the break, we were live with a press conference taking place in london with three immediate family members of those murdered and taken hostage by hamas. we're going to move on. we have our panel with us, tanya buxton and nigel nelson, who will be reviewing some other stories in the papers this morning. firstly gb news exclusive nigel nelson farage de—banking row continues. he's found out some more information. yes he has. >> and it's quite extraordinary . >> and it's quite extraordinary.

he's managed to get get hold of some of the emails that he's actually entitled to get because it's his private information and he's been asked in the to bank release and the kind of things that the staff were saying they were talking about. happy to actually fully cancel his bank account because it might drive him out of the country. well, another member of staff joked about wanting to throw a milkshake him. now this is milkshake over him. now this is just unacceptable. it's unacceptable in any kind of retail outlet. if you go into to buy a burger in mcdonald's, you don't want to find out that one of the staff wanted to throw a milkshake over you as you were buying it. so i think that that nigel is absolutely right, that these people should be suspended for they have for what? for what they have done. this is professional done. this is not professional in any way, but it does in any in any way, but it does show how he was specifically only targeted because of his political beliefs. >> and we can see the message on screen there lacking in capitalisation and grammar as it is. i'd throw a milkshake at him

if i was approached to open an account for him. tanya i mean, this is pretty stark stuff . this is pretty stark stuff. >> it really is stark stuff. who the hell are these people that think that they can de—banking people? having a bank account is a human right. and also this particular bank is owned by us, is us, the public. so how dare they? i don't they should they? i don't think they should be i they be suspended. i think they should this should be sacked for this behaviour. and don't forget there lots other people there was lots of other people that were debunked and de—platformed not just with natwest bank, but also with paypal. these companies natwest bank, but also with paytaking these companies natwest bank, but also with paytaking themselvesympanies natwest bank, but also with paytaking themselves too anies natwest bank, but also with paytaking themselves too far. s are taking themselves too far. they do not have the right to govern and to decide who should have an account or not to have an account. people like us for them, which is a charity that's put together to look after children, they lost their children, they they lost their banking. absolutely banking. it's absolutely ridiculous. on. ridiculous. this is going on. good nigel. i mean, thank good on nigel. i mean, thank goodness that happened one goodness that it happened in one way. thank goodness it happened to nigel because he wasn't going to nigel because he wasn't going to it lying down all to take it lying down and all the the other people the all the more other people rather, the same views rather, who have the same views and don't have his profile, and who don't have his profile, wouldn't be have spoken wouldn't be able to have spoken up way he has.

up the way he has. >> and we were just seeing some more of those messages on screen. i wonder if we can get them up again, because this is them up again, because this is the that we are the stark language that we are seeing employees at the seeing from employees at the natwest course, natwest group who of course, removed his bank account, saying it's just your awful human being. nigel farage lol. nigel should awful human beings be entitled to bank accounts? yes, indeed they should . indeed they should. >> yes. it doesn't matter whether you're awful nice, beautiful, ugly, whatever it is that you should actually be able to get a bank account. of course you should. and the problem with this is what they need to do, in fact, is actually review these rules over political exposed persons, as they call them, which give gives the bank a which give the gives the bank a right to cancel them. and i mean, the one thing, nigel has done has showed just how many politicians it was actually happening to and other people in the country. if you fall into that category, a lot of people i mean, i've talked to a number of mps now who found themselves in the same problem and they said

they didn't want to come fonnard because they didn't want to reveal their private details. and they couldn't get and reveal they couldn't get a bank account. so what nigel has doneis bank account. so what nigel has done is public service and now done is a public service and now the rules around all this need to be reviewed properly. >> i mean, nigel, a number of high profile journalists did jump high profile journalists did jump the gun a little bit when it came to this whole story . it came to this whole story. assuming that the bank must have behaved properly . and now we see behaved properly. and now we see boasting about driving him out of the country. nigel farage thatis of the country. nigel farage that is which is quite extraordinary, actually . and extraordinary, actually. and particularly as nigel, he said himself last night on his show, he did actually say, will i have to leave the country if i can't get a bank account? >> absolutely. and comments, it just shows you how pathetic and immature , like are you immature, like who even are you anymore ? i mean, the language of anymore? i mean, the language of these messages as well, you know , what type of person is that's writing them . and for example, writing them. and for example, thank again for nigel. thank goodness again for nigel. i saying that because i keep saying that because dominic couldn't get dominic lawson couldn't get a bank account his daughter

bank account for his daughter who is special needs because of his grandfather . mean, his her grandfather. i mean, it's that these banks it's outrageous that these banks and these companies have this type of power. so this absolute needs to go into law that they do not have the power to do that anymore. >> looking at a >> and we're looking at a message this screen message on this screen again with questionable grammar comma. have we single handedly drive nigel farage out of the country? i think they mean driven, but. but, but grammar. but grammar and spelling aside, this is this is triumph list stuff trying to push people out. and also here's one saying what's the crackpot saying now? it's just pure bile. yeah. >> and the other thing is that they're actually sort of behaving . i mean, we don't know behaving. i mean, we don't know what level these people are in the bank, but they're behaving like sound like they're interns. >> well, they're not. >> well, exactly. they're not. >> well, exactly. they're not. >> well, they certainly >> yeah, well, they certainly learned to write english, learned how to write english, but behaving like judge, but they're behaving like judge, jury and executioner . that is jury and executioner. that is not their job that they are there certainly to obey the rules , which is why the rules

rules, which is why the rules must be changed. i mean, the on the serious side , a bank can be the serious side, a bank can be fined if it doesn't carry out the due diligence on people like this . what you don't expect is this. what you don't expect is all this all the insults coming from staff and hey, this is great. i mean, it's all playground stuff and that and that's why these people must be found out. the bank must deal with them. i think a suspension is probably right, but rather rather than a sacking , you know? rather than a sacking, you know? >> nigel what what was quite funny was that there was one person, nigel farage, revealed their message. i don't know if we have it who was who said something like, oh, nigel farage, he's all right. actually he spoke to him on the phone. he wouldn't mind him as one client. so person in these so there was one person in these messages that did stand up for him ever so slightly. shall him ever so slightly. but shall we on? because in the sun, we move on? because in the sun, coronation street offered me security after surge in anti—semitic hate . these are the anti—semitic hate. these are the words of maureen lipman . words of maureen lipman. >> tonya so this is the thing that i've been talking about ever since these attacks is why

is it that because i live in north london, it's quite a jewish area and the jewish schools and the synagogues all have security. they already have extra security. now they've had to up their security. a couple of fridays ago , my neighbours of fridays ago, my neighbours didn't send their children to school. so why is that ? why we school. so why is that? why we do have a problem with anti—semitism country anti—semitism in this country for schools to have for those schools to have already security and already had that security and maureen lipman, who's on coronation street, i feel for them to feel the need to give her extra , extra security is her extra, extra security is unbelievable. but i just wanted to say that she was one of the signatories of the october declaration . she talks about it declaration. she talks about it in the sun as some other high profile politicians and actors and actresses, actors and actresses. and this is not enough. >> and this is a statement of support for israel. >> well, it's a statement of support for british jews. okay they should not be born bred living in this country. and have fear, have to live with fear. and that's what hamas does. so well. it makes you live in fear .

well. it makes you live in fear. i don't know if you remember, i was supposed to go two fridays ago. i was supposed to take the eurostar tunnel and my daughter was so upset about me taking the tunnel, going the tunnel tunnel, going under the tunnel because announced as a because it was announced as a national of that if it national day of jihad that if it was up me, would have gone. was up to me, i would have gone. but didn't because she was but i didn't go because she was so about me going. so distressed about me going. i didn't go. so it is working. the living fear working to all living in fear is working to all jewish people and all people who fear jihadi in fear some kind ofjihadi in britain. yeah. >> i some people, some >> and i think some people, some people minority quite people are minority are quite quick dismiss that level of quick to dismiss that level of fear. >> yeah , well, they should. >> yeah, well, they should. >> yeah, well, they should. >> but it's real. it's real. you know, i've spoken to jewish people concerned people who are very concerned and non—jewish people. >> i mean, the incidents >> yeah. i mean, the incidents of of of the incidents of anti—semitism up anti—semitism have gone up hugely, as has islamophobia . but hugely, as has islamophobia. but with maureen lipman, she's always been a pretty outspoken person about israel and person about about israel and british jews . and again, she was british jews. and again, she was recently pretty outspoken again when she attacked steve coogan and a number of other celebrities as who put out a

supportive message to about war crimes that israel was committing without condemning hamas. and she called them bleeding heartless liberals. >> so it must be said that steve steve coogan has subsequently come out and condemned hamas. >> but it's interesting. he did it in that order. >> yes. i mean, it would be useful if he'd said so in the first place. really so she has been outspoken. but again, she shouldn't need security to exercise her right to freedom of speech. and that's what this whole thing seems to be losing . whole thing seems to be losing. >> yeah, a lot of people are worried they may become a target. i imagine . worried they may become a target. i imagine. but worried they may become a target. i imagine . but shall we target. i imagine. but shall we move to on the mirror? because prince william will never tell people not to use planes or cars to help the environment. what's all this about, tanya? good man. >> good man. he's not a hypocrite like his brother. that's all i say. what he's that's all i can say. what he's doing. it's the earthshot awards that are going he's actually that are going on. he's actually taking commercial airline to taking a commercial airline to go long go over to this week long meetings of trying to find things to help fix the

environment. there's a £1 million grant out for environmental work, so that's what the winner receives. and i get this. i mean, there's lots of ways that we can save the planet instead of stopping normal getting on normal people from getting on planes their cars. planes and driving their cars. this this is human need we this is this is a human need we need.i this is this is a human need we need. i want on a plane need. i want to get on a plane and i want to be able to drive my car, but i want to save the planet. and one of the first things that we can do and this is the things he said as is one of the things he said as well, is we can stop plastic, plastic is killing the world. it's seas. it's it's killing the seas. it's killing world. killing the world. if unilaterally we all banned plastics use them, plastics and no longer use them, that make a big difference that would make a big difference to charleton. that would make a big difference to butiharleton. that would make a big difference to but useful)n. that would make a big difference to but useful though, aren't >> but useful though, aren't they plastics? tonya? >> they' re they plastics? tonya? >> they're not. they're >> no, they're not. they're really know, really not. and, you know, medical equipment. ipp well, you know, very know, if they're needed in very specific there are specific things. but there are alternatives that we can use and i'm more about i'm talking more about the plastics use supermarket. plastics single use supermarket. it's even it's single use, even tuppennares and things like that. plastic boxes, that. you know, plastic boxes, we don't need them. they could that. you know, plastic boxes, we glass need them. they could that. you know, plastic boxes, we glass becauseem. they could that. you know, plastic boxes, we glass becauseem. thsingleld be glass because every single fish now has some plastic. >> i would i would wager that it's more environmentally damaging and certainly much

it's more environmentally dama energy d certainly much it's more environmentally dama energy to :ertainly much it's more environmentally dama energy to make ly much it's more environmentally damaenergy to make glass much it's more environmentally dama energy to make glass than :h more energy to make glass than make plastic. yes >> doesn't damage when it >> but it doesn't damage when it comes energy what co2 comes to the energy and what co2 we doing to the and we are doing to the world and whether that an effect that whether that has an effect that that is still out. you that science is still out. you know, think it is. know, i don't think it is. >> plastic doesn't break down, does it? >> don't think i don't think >> i don't think i don't think it's fair say that the it's fair to say that the science is out. on whether co2 affects climate. i think the affects the climate. i think the greenhouse fairly greenhouse effect is fairly settled science. >> i'm not entirely sure that's true. think that you to true. i think that you have to look through history of what's happening with effect happening with this effect and whether men , me whether how much we as men, me as are affecting that. as mankind, are affecting that. that's a whole other story . that's a whole other story. that's a whole other story. that's a whole story. but the main thing is, is that if we didn't have plastics, our are poisoning us and our children. the suffering. they're the seas are suffering. they're breaking because they're breaking down because they're full pollutant plastics. if full of pollutant plastics. if we one thing, we could just do that one thing, stop single use and stop kind of catch all use of plastics that would make a big difference to the world. and yet, for example , the world. and yet, for example, if you were to buy fruit in a supermarket that's wrapped in plastic , it might have twice the plastic, it might have twice the shelf life than if it wasn't

wrapped in plastic and was oxidising in a in a normal way. >> there are some ways that sort of plastic wrapping can be more environmentally friendly because it extends the shelf life. we're not throwing away all this food. >> no, i completely disagree with you. are more modern with you. there are more modern ways there are there are ways and there are there are coverings that you have with coverings that you can have with food are not plastics, that food that are not plastics, that are biodegrade you are biodegrade able, that you don't use the easy, don't need to use the easy, cheap plastics. it's big money cheap plastics. it's a big money making that's why making industry. that's why they're it and they're not changing it and converting and when comes converting it. and when it comes to we have too to excesses of food, we have too much flown from other much food flown in from other countries here anyway. we should reduce it and be a bit reduce it as it is and be a bit more sustainable ourselves. reduce it as it is and be a bit mo |. sustainable ourselves. reduce it as it is and be a bit mo i would nable ourselves. reduce it as it is and be a bit mo i would certainly'selves. reduce it as it is and be a bit mo i would certainly agrees. reduce it as it is and be a bit mo i would certainly agree with >> i would certainly agree with you talking you that when we're talking about climate change, tonya, we should immediate should focus on our immediate environment% and plastics in our seas and rivers, not just in the you to with you have nothing to do with climate change. >> , but it's the environment . >> no, but it's the environment. >> no, but it's the environment. >> our environment. >> it's our environment. >> it's our environment. >> litter . it's just litter >> it's litter. it's just litter anyway. litter is bad, but it's different from co2. anyway, i'm so we have run out of so sorry we have run out of time. we couldn't spoken about this for hours. but up next, it's the live desk with pip
