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 unspeakable war civilians, doing unspeakable war crimes. they're also hiding behind civilians. they're own civilians . civilians. >> well, back here, family members of british israelis kidnapped and killed by hamas have also been speaking. david bar lost his sister in law, mother of three, naomi . it was mother of three, naomi. it was easy to bury our our loved ones than to go through the anguish that they're going through . that they're going through. >> and i can't believe i'm saying that . we buried my sister 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 . she was

morning. this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now let's get back to . patrick now let's get back to. patrick >> there must be something in the air at the moment. the government here is about to slash the number of migrant hotels, and emmanuel macron is apparently happy to break international human rights law and robert and deport people. robert jenrick the immigration minister, has that minister, has said that the government migrant government will close 50 migrant hotels and channel migrants will be shared rooms at motels be put in shared rooms at motels instead. well, let's just deal with facts here first, okay? at the end of june 2023, there were 50,546 asylum seekers living in hotels in the uk. this is a 10% increase compared with the end of 2022, when there were 45,775 of 2022, when there were 45,775 of them in march 2023. government sources told the bbc there were 395 hotels being used for this purpose . the majority for this purpose. the majority of them, 363, were in england ,

of them, 363, were in england, 20in northern ireland, ten in scotland and two in wales. between april 2022 and march 20th, 23, the government spent . 20th, 23, the government spent. about £2.3 billion on hotel accommodation . but now, as of accommodation. but now, as of today they channel migrant crossings are down. 30, believe it or not. so well done for getting the numbers down. that's a result. and rishi deserves a lot of credit. so does the weather and the wind direction, though. but well done, rishi. but here's the problems that are coming down the road. so my sources tell me that hotels were offered a full refurbishment after being used as migrant hotels. so how much is that going to cost us? we have local councils spending tens of millions of pounds on new accommodation, specifically for channel migrants, afghan refugees ukrainians . so refugees and ukrainians. so simply cutting back the use of migrant hotels does nothing to prevent the problem that is staring us right in the face. massive of monstrous levels of channel migrant homelessness within the next few years , they

within the next few years, they will be granted asylum and then told that they've got 28 days or so to find accommodation and we don't have anywhere for them . so don't have anywhere for them. so they end up on the streets . they will end up on the streets. thatis they will end up on the streets. that is to happen as it that is going to happen as it currently stands. the saviour in all of this, however, could be remarkably emmanuel macron. he is reported considering ignoring the echr and getting people deported. now apparently foreigners served with deportation notices will be held in detention centres for up to 18 months. people who have a criminal record or who are on an intelligence watch list will be biffed as well. the french interior minister is also eyeing plans to make it easier to remove asylum claimants who fail to obtain refugee status . he's to obtain refugee status. he's also looking at refusing residency permits for individuals who are unable to speak french and those who support radical islam . great support radical islam. great stuff. if france gets seriously tough on illegal immigration, then it deters people from coming to france, which deters them. then from coming to britain . if france ignores the

britain. if france ignores the echr and deports people, then that means that will be more likely to do the same thing. won't say this is a win win. it is, of course a total admittance, though, that people who wanted stronger borders were actually all along and actually right all along and a group of overly idealistic , group of overly idealistic, naive, sopping wet liberal idiots made decisions that essentially ruined a continent while demonising ordinary patriotic people . well, at least patriotic people. well, at least they appear to be coming to their senses now . gb views their senses now. gb views gbnews.com. get them coming in thick and fast. i want to hear from you on this very issue. do you think that the rowing back of migrant hotels is a good thing? they are supposedly in areas where the tories are worried they might lose those seats to labour. unfortunately for they're doing for them they're not doing that everywhere i everywhere because that is, i think where they are likely to lose labour. let's lose seats to labour. but let's speak to our political speak now to our political correspondent olivia utley olivia. very correspondent olivia utley olivia. so very correspondent olivia utley olivia. so it very correspondent olivia utley olivia. so it looks very correspondent olivia utley olivia. so it looks though it much. so it looks as though it looks as though we're going to see a reduction in migrant

hotels. me would hotels. the cynic in me would say this is a cheap say that this is a cheap political move that they could easily on after easily row back on after the next election. >> , this is a sort of >> well, this is a sort of glimmer of hope from the government and it is good news for them, as you said in your introduction there, the number of channel migrants crossing has actually decreased by 30% over this year. and that's why the government, over the next six months, plans to close those 100 hotels for migrant use . hotels for migrant use. obviously, as you say, it's not all good news. there are 400 hotels currently being used for migrants housing. 50,000 migrants housing. 50,000 migrants are closing . 100 of migrants are closing. 100 of them is a start. but it's kind of baby steps . the government of baby steps. the government also has implemented a policy that it proposed earlier in the year to force migrants to share bedrooms, hotel bedrooms with each other, which is another reason why they have actually cut down the number of rooms that they're using and are able to close some these rooms as to close some of these rooms as you say, it is a little bit cynical. the government refuses

to give list of the actual to give a list of the actual hotels, which it's closing down on. but a couple of them, one of them is in stoke, which they're talking about, which is a real an area. there is a there is a seat in stoke, which is a conservative seat, is conservative seat, but it is a real challenger seat for labour. so it does seem a little bit as though jenrick picking though robert jenrick is picking the hotels quite carefully as to whether after an election they would row back on it. well, they are moving in the right direction. the government, you know, opening these know, they are opening these alternative accommodation provisions for migrants. we've seen the bibby stockholm, we've seen the bibby stockholm, we've seen former raf seen plenty of former raf barges. et cetera. using being used instead of hotels cells. so it does feel as though things are going in the right direction. they're also managing to more home office to employ more home office caseworkers so are caseworkers, so they are cracking through backlog . cracking through that backlog. at of the year, at the beginning of the year, the was 92,000. now the backlog was 92,000. it's now 55,000, course , 55,000, although of course, rishi sunak said that he would get rid of the backlog altogether by the end of the yean altogether by the end of the year. nearly at november year. we're nearly at november and only 55,000. so and it's only 55,000. so essentially feels as though essentially it feels as though

the conservatives in the conservatives are moving in the conservatives are moving in the with the right direction with this. but not really fast as but probably not really fast as the electorate would like. but probably not really fast as the yeah,)rate would like. but probably not really fast as the yeah, exactly.uld like. but probably not really fast as the yeah, exactly. labour�*. but probably not really fast as the yeah, exactly. labour say >> yeah, exactly. labour say that they want employ another that they want to employ another 1000 processors. don't they? as well . but yes, i suppose it is well. but yes, i suppose it is a step in the right direction and again it's almost like isn't it. it is almost like when they need to be re—elected, they start doing what the public actually want . it does appear to me to be want. it does appear to me to be an admittance really, that clearly having migrant hotels in people's areas are by no means ideal people's areas are by no means ideal. and if we can get rid of those, people are more likely to vote for the party that did get rid of them. but olivia, thank you very much. utley you very much. olivia utley their in their political correspondent in westminster. i'm going to bring in human in now international human rights lawyer david haigh because problems with because i can see problems with this. sure we all can. every this. i'm sure we all can. every single time the government wants to to with to implement anything to do with illegal a illegal immigration, there's a human isn't there? human rights issue, isn't there? david the upcoming david what are the upcoming human issues there human rights issues that there are presumably centres are here? presumably it centres around would guessed, around, i would have guessed, migrants sharing rooms with each other not living other in motels and not living in star luxury places . in four star luxury places. >> good, good afternoon patrick.

>> good, good afternoon patrick. >> i think the, the basic thing that the government needs to do as per international law is provide safe housing. and i've said before many times that there is no reason in whether it's a barge or a marquee or an xref base. there's no reason that it cannot be safe . but what that it cannot be safe. but what we've seen in the past is that the current government seems incapable of providing safe accommodation. >> we've seen outbreaks of diphtheria and other communicable diseases . communicable diseases. >> that's the problem that we've seen. so there's no reason why to do asylum seekers in a travelodge or a premier or two star, three star safe hotel cannot be safe. and, you know, that's something that the government could have started doing 30 teen years ago as opposed to now. so but that , i opposed to now. so but that, i think, will be the issues that you're seeing. you will see the government mismanaging this situation, rather situation, putting rather than to seekers in a room, to asylum seekers in a room, maybe 4 5. you'll see maybe 4 or 5. you'll see outbreaks communicable outbreaks of communicable diseases which will not just affect asylum seekers, affect the asylum seekers, but the areas. this

the local, the local areas. this is the problem that i'm seeing coming and but like i said, there's no reason why it cannot be safe . be safe. >> okay. can i just ask you a question? if somebody is granted refugee or asylum status in a country so they've been approved, as it were , and they approved, as it were, and they get served, say, 28 days notice to get out of that hotel, which appears to be roughly what happens in some cases here. and they haven't got anywhere to go . they haven't got anywhere to go. so do you know if legally we can make them homeless or what has to happen there? is there any idea? well the obligation that patrick, the obligation when an asylum when an asylum seeker when we have an asylum seeker when we have an asylum seeker, it's the obugafion asylum seeker, it's the obligation on the national government. >> then once somebody >> and then once somebody becomes has been becomes an, you know, has been granted and is in the granted asylum and is in the country obligation after a country that obligation after a short period time passes to short period of time passes to the effectively . the local councils effectively. and so that's going to be a problem of the local councils at the current. lee, unless the legislation is changed and obviously that will then impact housing to other local

housing available to other local people . and so that's going to people. and so that's going to be one of the problems. so if you speed up, obviously there's a very, very large backlog of asylum cases. if that is asylum cases. so if that is speeded up, which it needs to be because it will bring down the costs and a number of those people are granted asylum. is there the local there the housing in the local areas house people ? you know, areas to house people? you know, and certainly looking where i live down here in cornwall, there certainly isn't. there's a shortage of housing as it is. so that's another problem that that's another problem that that's horizon. yeah it that's on the horizon. yeah it is another problem that's on the horizon. >> absolutely. and i was concerned we'd have some concerned that we'd have some kind obligation maybe kind of obligation to maybe house them that may well house them first. that may well not the but i suppose not be the case, but i suppose the is we can't house the point is we can't house anyone anywhere if we don't have enough ask enough safe housing. could i ask you emmanuel macron, you as well, emmanuel macron, we're covering a bit later you as well, emmanuel macron, we' but)vering a bit later you as well, emmanuel macron, we' but itering a bit later you as well, emmanuel macron, we' but it looks a bit later you as well, emmanuel macron, we' but it looks as a bit later you as well, emmanuel macron, we' but it looks as thoughiter you as well, emmanuel macron, we' but it looks as though he's on, but it looks as though he's more inclined now to be ignoring the echr, to be deporting people, especially if they've got previous criminal record. they're on some kind of terror. watch list or there's some issue with all. now if he does with them at all. now if he does that, my understanding is that

france would basically have to pay france would basically have to pay right ? france would basically have to pay right? what pay a fine. is that right? what how could it work? because if he ignores the echr, i've got a funny feeling that all of a sudden we will as well. >> yeah. i mean, it's, you know, at the end of the day, you can any, any, any person, any government, country, government, any country, whatever ignore the whatever it is, can ignore the court, it's echr, court, whether it's the echr, whether courts whether it's our own courts here. seen that the here. we've often seen that the government ignoring court rulings, ignore un rulings, you can ignore un rulings. what happens rulings. it's what happens if you so if you you ignore them. so if you ignore depends what kind ignore and it depends what kind of the echr it is that of ruling the echr it is that you ignore. but there is a system of fines. but equally, if you ignore, for instance, un conventions, know , a lot of conventions, you know, a lot of these international bodies are without now that doesn't without teeth. now that doesn't say that in the case of the echr that the individuals , if it's that the individuals, if it's individual cases as opposed to cases, restates that their rights have been breached, that they would not have a claims against against the various governments . so i can just governments. so i can just imagine it's going to be a quagmire here of yet more problems , yet more courts, yet problems, yet more courts, yet more expenses. you know,

certainly, of course, any government can ignore any order or any ruling any court it so or any ruling of any court it so chooses, echr chooses, whether it's the echr or its own courts. >> so a lot of it a lot of it appears to be based on international perception. right so want to the so you don't want to be the outlier. don't to be outlier. you don't want to be the pariah state, but then if france decides they're france decides that they're going and they do start going to do it and they do start doing it and they haven't got a system like rwanda in place that implies that they might implies to me that they might actually deporting people actually be deporting people back to their country, which back to their own country, which in would genuinely in some cases would be genuinely dangerous. so if they're prepared have prepared to do that, we'll have to see how this plays to wait and see how this plays out, of course. but if they're prepared do that, it that prepared to do that, it that might anyway that might imply to me anyway that the scheme all of a the rwanda scheme all of a sudden becomes a lot more palatable. >> well, absolutely. i think we need to see whether any of this, because, know, the because, you know, the governments, particularly ours, are at talking about are very good at talking about policies as policies and elections. and as i've before, in my view, i've said before, in my view, weaponizing spectre of weaponizing the spectre of asylum across asylum seekers coming across the channel actually happen. channel will actually happen. will get there is will it actually get there or is it just promises to it just lots more promises to actually win votes and get popularity? i suspect it might be bit more of that, but but

be a bit more of that, but but we'll certainly if we'll see. but certainly if france that france actually puts that into practise, imagine other states practise, i imagine other states may well follow through. and then you've got real issues, i think with the echr . think with the echr. >> yeah. look, david, thank you very, very much. david hey there. always great to have you on the show. international human rights the rights lawyer, friend of the show well. al, quite a shrewd show as well. al, quite a shrewd move. is is by the move. is it is it by the conservative party to say, look, we're to the number of we're going to cut the number of migrant hotels or we're also going to remove them in areas that might go that we think might not go laboun that we think might not go labour, got labour, but we've still got a chance of keeping part of stoke. i'm to go to wigan a bit i'm going to go to wigan a bit later on and talk about their bits of wales as well and northampton believe a couple northampton i believe a couple of places or few of the of the places or few of the places where they're going to see a reduction in migrant see a reduction in these migrant hotels. be a good hotels. it could be a good thing for to look, if you vote for them to go look, if you vote for them to go look, if you vote for a party that is less visibly or vocally strong when it comes to borders your area, is to borders in your area, is going to get of these going to get more of these migrant hotels. you vote, migrant hotels. if you vote, conservative do away with conservative will do away with them. or the british them. whether or not the british pubuc them. whether or not the british public will through that, public will see through that, because, the fact is because, of course, the fact is that we are this mess, aren't

that we are in this mess, aren't we? it happened under we? and it has happened under the current government. but you've more on this you've got loads more on this story our website, story on our website, gbnews.com. it's fastest gb news.com. it's the fastest growing national news site in the all the the country. it's got all the best big opinion and best analysis, big opinion and of course, the breaking of course, the latest breaking news mother of news now, the mother of a british citizen has been released hamas. year released by hamas. the 85 year old that she's been through old says that she's been through hell. viewers on gb news can see live shots from the israel lebanon border . we will be going lebanon border. we will be going to tel aviv to speak to our reporter there, mark white. and it's emerged that hamas has killed 12 brits. so 12 brits are known to have died now in that conflict, people talking about those people being dragged into a network of tunnels in gaza will be discussing all of this. and emmanuel macron, by the way, is supposed to actually be meeting with some hamas leaders a little bit later on. i believe . so we'll try to bring as much of that as we can to you live on this show. i will also be discussing about the potential return of shamima begum. yes,

job. you know what? he that job. you know what? is he that bad, seriously he i bad, though? seriously he i mean, half of brits don't like the prime minister. isn't that a bounce be bounce standard? i will be asking, , whether not asking, however, whether or not he sacking jeremy he should be sacking jeremy hunt, if it is true, if it is true that jeremy hunt is going to down before next to stand down before the next election, think that should be election, i think that should be borderline criminal offence. election, i think that should be borcan'tie criminal offence. election, i think that should be borcan't be criminal offence. election, i think that should be borcan't be chancellorffence. he can't be chancellor implementing of policies implementing a load of policies that, find that, by the way, people find incredibly and then incredibly unpopular and then not stand for election at the next election. but we'll have to wait and see. however i have been hell. these are been through hell. these are the words 85 year old hostage words of an 85 year old hostage who has interviewed who has been interviewed following release hamas following her release by hamas last at josh howie last night at josh howie described her ordeal as she was led through a spider's web of tunnels. her freedom is of course, welcome news, but analysts were now questioning what hamas is expecting in return. for the latest hostage release. it all went very quiet about the hostages for a very, very long time. it's also been confirmed today, sadly, that hamas has killed 12 british nationals . with five more still nationals. with five more still

missing . our security editor missing. our security editor mark white reports from tel aviv i >> understandably dazed and confused, these two elderly hostages were handed over by hamas at the gaza—egypt border late last night, released the terror group say on humanity grounds in the early hours, a military helicopter landed at this tel aviv medical centre with the two women doctors who examined them, said they were in good condition despite their ordeal . all later , yakov felt ordeal. all later, yakov felt strong enough to face the cameras alongside her daughter, sharon , who lives in london. she sharon, who lives in london. she said she wanted to give the israeli military as much information as possible about the tunnels. she was held in there are a huge , huge network there are a huge, huge network of tunnels underneath it. >> it looks like a spider web . >> it looks like a spider web. >> it looks like a spider web. >> it looks like a spider web.

>> it is certainly a welcome development . but israeli sources development. but israeli sources say it's straight out of the hamas playbook , a delaying hamas playbook, a delaying tactic that won't divert them from the task at hand. the air war and then ground defensive to destroy hamas . the toll on the destroy hamas. the toll on the many thousands of people still in northern gaza continues to grow with the hamas controlled health ministry claiming more than 5000 people have been killed here since the start of the war in tel aviv. the french president is the latest world leader to arrive here meeting with the heads of the israeli government before a scheduled visit to the west bank and talks with the palestinian authority president , with the palestinian authority president, mahmoud abbas . in the president, mahmoud abbas. in the north of israel. the military struck more positions over the border in southern lebanon overnight night, claiming they took out hezbollah terrorists,

planning attacks on israeli communities and military installations . in gaza. for most installations. in gaza. for most people there is nowhere to evacuate to. they are completely reliant on aid supplies crossing the border from egypt . more the border from egypt. more convoys are reaching the gaza strip, but it's just a trickle in comparison to the hundreds of aid trucks that normally pass through this crossing. mark white gb news tel aviv . white gb news tel aviv. >> well, we can now cross live to tel aviv and speak with mark white, our security editor, who is there for us. so, mark, some of the hostages have been released . it is difficult to released. it is difficult to tell exactly what hamas wants to achieve by doing this. and it all comes on the day that emmanuel macron is set to visit the west bank, i believe. so we'll go where you are. yeah >> before that, we just want to

give you some breaking news, which is that central israel has come under its biggest rocket barrage since the october 7th attack just a few minutes ago. we were in the shell shelters here in central tel aviv as the alarms sounded. lots of rockets coming over, intercepted by the iron dome defence system. we know now that a little earlier, one of the rockets got through to a community just northeast of tel aviv, causing considerable damage to a building there. we're not sure about injuries at this stage , but this was a very this stage, but this was a very significant barrage. speaking to one of our security team who's been here for the last two weeks, he says he has not experienced anything like that. as we run towards the shelters, once in the shelters , we heard once in the shelters, we heard lots of explosions from the thuds, really from the iron dome system as these missiles reach the speed of sound and then you

get that sonic boom . and then get that sonic boom. and then there's also pictures now circulating on social media showing multiple iron dome interceptions over the tel aviv area. so a significant development in the last ten minutes or so with the sirens going off in central tel aviv. now, yes, on this issue about the hostages and their release, patrick, there is, i think , an patrick, there is, i think, an expectation now that we are getting into a pattern where every 2 or 3 days we will get hostages, perhaps 1 or 2 at a time, released . now, officials time, released. now, officials are telling me that they believe that this is just a delaying tactic. part of the hamas playbook, to try to extend the penod playbook, to try to extend the period before that ground invasion goes into gaza . and the invasion goes into gaza. and the longer they can do that, and with at least 120 hostages coming out, 1 or 2 at a time, every few days, you can imagine

this is going to go potentially into weeks or months. but it depends what israel decides to do. does it decide to still push in to israel or to gaza, knowing that there are still hundreds of hostages there and more harm than good, good can be done? or doesit than good, good can be done? or does it actually just hold off for the meantime? yeah indeed. >> quite the conundrum , >> quite the conundrum, actually. mark, thank you very, very much. and thank you for that breaking news as well that israel , central israel has come israel, central israel has come under the largest barrage since october the 7th. i hope you manage to stay safe where you are. we'll be going back to mark white in the next hour. so is mark, who is our security editor in tel aviv for us. and so, yes, there's loads more still to come between now and 4:00 a year to the day since rishi sunak became the day since rishi sunak became the tory leader . i'm the day since rishi sunak became the tory leader. i'm going to ask if he's got anything to celebrate. we're also going to be taking a look at whether or

published this week. can i just say though, before i read this out to you, i do take this with a massive pinch of salt. you could found that just 1% of people think sunak is doing a great job on the other hand, 25% of those questions that of those questions said that he's a poor the he's doing a poorjob. and the same of people think he's same number of people think he's doing the reason why i doing terribly. the reason why i say with a pinch salt, say this with a pinch of salt, by way, not because by the way, is not because i don't believe that people said that. i believe that people that. i do believe that people said how you said that. but how often do you seriously get opinion polling where like 60% of people love the minister not the prime minister it's not going it? although going to happen, is it? although admittedly think he's admittedly just 1% think he's doing a great is poor. doing a great job. is poor. political editor christopher hope actually, hope now joins us and actually, there a recent survey there was a recent yougov survey that 100% of people, that found that 100% of people, christopher, doing that found that 100% of people, cigreat)her, doing that found that 100% of people, cigreat job, doing that found that 100% of people, cigreat job but doing that found that 100% of people, cigreat job but we'll doing that found that 100% of people, cigreat job but we'll haveoing that found that 100% of people, cigreat job but we'll have to g a great job but we'll have to leave that. there and christopher, has he got anything to cheerful he likes to be cheerful about as he likes likes the candles on a legal birthday cake this time ? birthday cake this time? >> well, i think patrick for you. just for you. i did ask number 10 how he'll be celebrating his milestone today . celebrating his milestone today. they half a smile across the

face of the spokesman and no celebration. they told me the pm is more focussed on the continual delivery for the public. continual delivery for the pubuc.the continual delivery for the public. the marking an anniversary for them, it's business as usual as we've seen throughout this time of a one year of sunak. we took three, if you remember, three months before we found out what he wanted to do. he then gave us five targets the year . stop five targets for the year. stop the boats cutting 100 nhs waiting lists, growing the economy, inflation and economy, cutting inflation and the but it's really the rest. but. but it's really an operational minister an operational prime minister barely that's part of barely political. that's part of the problem. he doesn't really stir the hearts of tory voters as we saw last week the by as we saw last week in the by elections . elections. >> yeah, no, indeed. indeed. and it was almost like out of all of that so—called chaos of liz truss's brief tenure, they decided , right, we just need decided, right, we just need managers. we need like people who you bring in to a failing business just to oversee things for while. and you for a little while. and you know, whilst not been a know, whilst it's not been a complete it's also not complete disaster, it's also not proven massively popular. proven to be massively popular. just that note, christopher , just on that note, christopher, what the rumblings about what are the rumblings about a reshuffle or what's noise

reshuffle or what's the noise about jeremy hunt? is he going do we think, is he staying? what's happening? >> well, i was told before the party conferences that this thursday was the date for the for the reshuffle, because it's the day when parliament will prorogue. that means mps will go home another holiday until home for another holiday until they back for the king's they come back for the king's speech november. speech on the 7th of november. a delayed half break, delayed half term break, you might so. that was the might think so. that was the idea to get a whole new team in 2019. intake will come in. this would idea they it would be an idea they call it breaking glass ceiling . not breaking the glass ceiling. not by having more women necessarily, having more necessarily, but having more young because young people in, because the idea that mr trying to idea that mr sunak is trying to do create a youthful , do is to create a youthful, changed government that's different to the one that's gone 13 years before to take on keir starmer, a much older man , as starmer, a much older man, as they fight the next election. that the but we that was the idea. but we understand now this this reshuffle like it's reshuffle looks like it's delayed. maybe till next week. the to do it the idea was there to do it before the king's speech when they set out the plans for the next year. just yet. and next year. so not just yet. and they even behind they may be even behind me. jeremy may have been maybe jeremy hunt may have been maybe moving but did

moving on, but they did they they that is so far not confirmed. so denied so far. >> okay. well, we await with bated christopher, thank bated breath, christopher, thank you much. our political you very much. our political editor, i'm joined you very much. our political editor, charlie i'm joined you very much. our political editor, charlie rowley, joined now by charlie rowley, who's a former special to former special adviser to michael gove . charlie, thank you michael gove. charlie, thank you very much. great have you on very much. great to have you on the rishi sunak, what's the show. rishi sunak, what's been the point of rishi sunak ? been the point of rishi sunak? >> well, he's done a great job. i think. look, if you go back to you're absolutely right by the way, in introduction where way, in your introduction where you about the turmoil and you talked about the turmoil and the circumstances of which he's come the and years come to the job and the years gone been gone by and there's been political stability, there's been he's been economic stability. he's got framework got the windsor framework through that through which dealt with that old issue of brexit, which through which dealt with that ol(you issue of brexit, which through which dealt with that ol(you know, of brexit, which through which dealt with that ol(you know, doggedit, which through which dealt with that ol(you know, dogged the'hich is, you know, dogged the conservative these conservative party for all these years before had an nhs long years before we had an nhs long term plan that's put it on a sustainable footing for the future coming down. future inflation is coming down. we've about debt in we've got to hear about debt in the autumn statement. the economy albeit economy is growing, albeit slowly. economy is growing, albeit sl01boats, the small boats crossings. >> the prime minister will tell you, is down more this year than compared is still compared to last. there is still a backlog in but you've a backlog in the nhs, but you've got on top of that. so in

got to get on top of that. so in terms of his priorities, he's achieving in of achieving in terms of the stability that he's brought to the country a year, that's the country in a year, that's no small achievements. i small set of achievements. i would argue. but there's a lot more would argue. but there's a lot mo okay. we found the we >> okay. we found the 1. we found the of the yougov poll. found the 1% of the yougov poll. >> they didn't ask me funny enough, didn't ask me that it would been wouldn't it, would have been 2, wouldn't it, if have asked you? if they'd have asked you? >> also looking at >> but also just looking at those charts i mean, it those charts again, i mean, it was 5050. was actually 5050. >> took into account the >> if you took into account the people that he did a good people that said he did a good job, a great job. and if you take into account the notes, well, if you're well, here we go. if you're someone would test my maths someone who would test my maths now if but if you take into account the don't knows also then it roughly about 5050. then it roughly is about 5050. and think that's broadly where and i think that's broadly where the because the the public are because the conservative party whole. the public are because the consofyative party whole. the public are because the cons of course arty whole. the public are because the consof course huge whole. the public are because the consof course huge problems. the public are because the consof course huge problems and yes, of course huge problems and the i think that the history of and i think that was reason the by was the reason why the by elections were so bad, the circumstances which those circumstances of which those particular go. particular tory mps had to go. but i think question still but i think the question still comes up if you're going to vote for sunak or sir keir for rishi sunak or sir keir starmer, public are starmer, i think the public are still pretty, pretty unsure. >> on. unsure. >> on. here we go. right on >> go on. here we go. right on cue. think we've got it. have

cue. i think we've got it. have we? the opinion poll. hey, there we? the opinion poll. hey, there we are. right okay, so 1% think he's a great good he's doing a great job. a good pm, an average pm, 33. pm, 10. an average pm, 33. a poor pm. 25. terrible pm 25. honestly in the realms of political polling, that not political polling, that is not awful. it is not awful. awful. no, it is not awful. i know that people at home now will thinking, but quite will be thinking, but quite often you people really often, you know, people really just hate the man or woman in charge so much. i know that quite a few people that do, but it's nowhere near as catastrophic as it could have been. and arguably should be. if you look at some metrics. i suppose the problem think for suppose the problem i think for many is that he's not many people is that he's not ideal ideological enough. >> think , look, there's >> well, i think, look, there's been a narrative that's been allowed to i think, fester and that's the labour party are that's why the labour party are doing polls. if you doing well in the polls. if you believe they'll say. believe anything they'll say. they believe that you get they believe that you can't get a doctor's appointment you a doctor's appointment or you can't dentist appointment. a doctor's appointment or you can'tthere dentist appointment. a doctor's appointment or you can'tthere are ntist appointment. a doctor's appointment or you can'tthere are backlogs intment. a doctor's appointment or you can'tthere are backlogs intthe|t. now there are backlogs in the nhs, that. but the nhs, we know that. but the country growing. you know, country is growing. you know, the is growing, things the economy is growing, things are but so there are getting better. but so there needs be, i think, a much needs to be, i think, a much more front footed approach more of a front footed approach by to explain to

by number 10. now to explain to the country, yes, there have been problems, but it's rishi sunak some sunak that's dealt with some of the institutional problems, the most institutional problems, such as the political instability economic instability and the economic instability. he's, you know, instability. but he's, you know, taking those term taking those big long term decisions for future to make decisions for the future to make sure the for the sure that the country for the next period next next period after the next election, knows that election, if he knows that jeremy is going to stand jeremy hunt is going to stand down at the next election, has he got sack i don't he got to sack him? i don't think i mean, those reports think so. i mean, those reports are i mean, jeremy hunt will say he's going anywhere. he's not going anywhere. he's he's not going anywhere. he's he's again. that he's standing again. so that will to be a conversation, will have to be a conversation, i the prime i think, between the prime minister but minister and the chancellor but i terms of the timing i mean, in terms of the timing of reshuffle, mean, do you of any reshuffle, i mean, do you move on? suella braverman that's always something up always something that comes up when rwanda high when you've got the rwanda high court ruling coming down that when you've got the rwanda high courd0|ling coming down that when you've got the rwanda high cour d0|ling com about wn that when you've got the rwanda high cour d0|ling com about it? that how do you feel about it? >> because i, i. well, she can be seen as a divisive figure, but i think actually quite but i think she's actually quite popular with the tory base, isn't so if you get rid of isn't she? so if you get rid of her, quite concerning. her, that's quite concerning. >> there's she's appeal >> there's she's got an appeal amongst right. and i amongst the tory right. and i think that's i think that's accurate to say. but i think there's a if you're a soft or if you're a liberal conservative, perhaps if you're in the

south—east, i think what you want to do and ultimately i think suella said at times think what suella said at times is i think the way in is right, but i think the way in which sort of goes about it, which she sort of goes about it, it's been to open open at the start rather than at the end. so, you know, she's rushed to be very critical rather than, i think, work with institutions to reform and then come in to say, look, i've tried my best. we've tried to reform the echr, but now it's time to actually consider rather than just throwing out there to throwing red meat out there to say, oh, we're going to leave the echr we're going to do x, the echr or we're going to do x, y and and of y and z, and some of the language around quite language around what is quite a sensitive issue when it comes to community tensions. sensitive issue when it comes to coninunity tensions. sensitive issue when it comes to coni think' tensions. sensitive issue when it comes to coni think that;ions. sensitive issue when it comes to coni think that she;. sensitive issue when it comes to coni think that she doesn't she >> i think that she doesn't she could she just uses could she maybe just uses language normal people use. could she maybe just uses lan it age normal people use. could she maybe just uses lan it might normal people use. could she maybe just uses lan it might belormal people use. could she maybe just uses lan it might be it'mal people use. could she maybe just uses lan it might be it mighteople use. could she maybe just uses lan it might be it might be le use. could she maybe just uses lan it might be it might be these. >> it might be it might be the case in some communities, but i think when in politics, think when you're in politics, when you've got to bring people with you've got to with you and when you've got to work with france, particularly when number one when it comes to the number one issue stopping the small issue of stopping the small boats, i think some of the rhetoric be a bit more diplomatic. >> it'll interesting to see >> it'll be interesting to see what now with what happens now with france wednesday. macron, what happens now with france wednwgoing macron, what happens now with france wednwgoing to macron, what happens now with france wednwgoing to be macron, what happens now with france wednwgoing to be talking acron, what happens now with france wednwgoing to be talking about we're going to be talking about

obviously but what idiot is paying £900 for a steak? that's really what i want to know. patrick christys. gb news, britain's news channel .

me, michael portillo, gb news, britain's news. me, michael portillo, gb news, britain's news . channel britain's news. channel >> welcome back. it is 3:47. you are watching and listening to me patrick christys right here on gb news. now in a few moments time i will tell you about the restaurant that is charging £900

for a steak. i am more concerned about the idiots that walk through that restaurant's doors and then buy that steak. is it any establishments right to charge whatever they want for anything ? if you're anything? but if you're stupid enough then that's enough to buy it, then that's your but at 4:00, your own fault. but at 4:00, i will also have more on the government plans the government plans to cut the number of migrant hotels to accommodate migrants and that big shamima begum discussion. will she actually be coming back to britain? her appeal is back in the courts, which, by the way, paying way, you might be paying for with we'll come with legal aid. but we'll come on rishi sunak on to that now. rishi sunak celebrates as prime celebrates a year as prime minister when it comes to the economy, is there much to celebrate? this morning's official figures show that unemployment has flatlined at 4.2% in the past quarter. the economy sitting on the brink of recession, but work and pensions secretary mel stride remains confident that the government is on the right track. >> almost a million jobs out there. so we have a very , very there. so we have a very, very vibrant labour market that we have seen economic inactivity coming down quite strikingly, actually over the last 12 months

i >> by 270,000, you've raised issues of poverty. >> i think we have a good record on that. >> six 2010 but there is more still to do, which is why we have our cost of living payments , the national , why we're putting the national living and why we're living wage up and why we're continuing down on inflation. >> i'm confident that come >> and i'm confident that come the end of the year, we will meet our target we will have meet our target and we will have halved over that period . halved it over that period. >> right. joining us now is the economics and business editor liam money . liam halligan with on the money. okay so sunak economically doing a decent job or not. >> he's a year in patrick and the swotty head boy must try harder. i'd say when it comes to the economy . see what i did the economy. see what i did there? top of my head. so numbers this morning 4.2% numbers out this morning 4.2% unemployment, as you said . i've unemployment, as you said. i've got a little graphic that's between june, july and august. that's the same as the previous quarter. but lots more people are just left the workforce. so in some ways, that number flatters what's actually happening. but that's not too bad a number. but look at this .

bad a number. but look at this. when gdp numbers come out that you call them, official pmi numbers aren't official. these are surveys of business leaders. if these readings are below 50, indicates that business leaders think they're part of the economy is contracting. manufacturing pmi, purchasing managers index, that's about 51% of the economy. it's down at 45.2, well below 50. so manufacturing is contracting. but don't worry , dada, here but don't worry, dada, here comes the service sector, which is two, which is 4/5 of the economy. but even that is below 50. and that's why i think we can now say the economy is going to contract when we see the next gdp numbers come out for october . there is a little bit of silver lining in that cloud , silver lining in that cloud, though, because the bank of england's next interest rate decision is thursday, the 2nd of november. so that's thursday week, i reckon , on balance, week, i reckon, on balance, because the economy is flatlining, because it does look as if we could be entering recession , you get two recession, you get two consecutive quarters of negative

growth like germany is in recession. i reckon the bank of england might hold fire and not raise interest rates. on thursday week. i think they're going to keep them. data could change between now and then . i change between now and then. i think they're going to keep them at 5.25% where they kept them last okay jeremy hunt, last time. okay jeremy hunt, what's there ? what's the noise there? >> staying going? should he be pushed? >> there was of >> well, there was a lot of stuff the sunday stuff in the sunday papers, gossip , really, people saying gossip, really, people saying that to that jeremy hunt is going to stand down before the next election because he doesn't want to it to to lose. he doesn't want it to happen what happened happen to him. what happened to michael are too michael portillo? you are too young, us longer in young, but some of us longer in the tooth journalists and gb news listeners will news viewers and listeners will remember portillo remember when michael portillo in 1997, was seen as the next in 1997, he was seen as the next tory leader. lost his seat to tory leader. he lost his seat to an labour politician an obscure labour politician called twigg in enfield, called stephen twigg in enfield, southgate the labour southgate and the labour soubriquet was were you still up for portillo? what fun we had watching the future of the tory party crash and burn . so a lot party crash and burn. so a lot of people think jeremy hunt doesn't want but is doesn't want to stand, but he is saying and his friends are saying, you mean? of saying, what do you mean? of course i'm going to stand. of

government announced government has announced plans to of hotels to cut the number of hotels used to cut the number of hotels used to migrants, to accommodate migrants, and central faced central israel has faced its largest barrage of since largest barrage of rockets since october the 7th. that's according to the jerusalem post. multiple rockets fired from gaza were intercepted over tel aviv and yes, when i come back, we'll be talking big debate about whether begum whether or not shamima begum should britain. should come back to britain. patrick christys gb news british news channel. hello again, i'm alex burkill and here's your latest update. latest gb news weather update. >> going to be an unsettled >> it's going to be an unsettled picture for the next few days. most of us will see rain, most of us will see some rain, which could heavy and it will which could be heavy and it will be too. that's because low be windy too. that's because low pressure too far away pressure is never too far away this week. at the moment we have an area low pressure out in an area of low pressure out in the north and this the north sea, and it's this that's brought heavy, that's brought the heavy, persistent across east and persistent rain across east and north eastern parts today. but thatis north eastern parts today. but that is gradually going to ease away. across southern that is gradually going to ease away. we across southern that is gradually going to ease away. we have across southern that is gradually going to ease away. we have a:ross southern that is gradually going to ease away. we have a swathe jthern that is gradually going to ease away. we have a swathe of em that is gradually going to ease away. we have a swathe of very areas, we have a swathe of very wet weather that's pushing its way a bit of way in, likely to see a bit of disruption , particularly the disruption, particularly in the south—east. some south—east. could be some flooding, could be some difficulties the roads difficulties on the roads as well. many tonight, it is well. for many tonight, it is going to be a bit going to be a little bit chillier than night,

they have just withstood their largest barrage of missiles fired gaza since the start fired from gaza since the start of the conflict, despite, of course, some hostages being released today as well. so very much all action over there. we'll go to tel aviv this hour. i'm also going to talk about this story us begum could well be back. that's right . this story us begum could well be back. that's right. shamima begum's appeal is in the course today. the first day of a three day trial. i hope that you and i and all british taxpayers are not paying for her legal aid . not paying for her legal aid. but alas, i think we might be disappointed there should begum be back . was she a be allowed back. was she a victim of trafficking or victim of human trafficking or actually, just still , for actually, is she just still, for you, a threat to the people of britain? and this story britain? and there's this story as well. oh, no, there isn't . as well. oh, no, there isn't. that's it. we're going to be also talking as well about a video that i will play you in just a sec, patrick christys gbs . yes. now we cross over to the streets of spain where remarks

firefighters have taken on police officers with flamethrowers. take a look . flamethrowers. take a look. hello . bannau yes, indeed . wild hello. bannau yes, indeed. wild scenes from the streets of spain. i will be discussing exactly what's gone on there very, very shortly. patrick christys . gb news. christys. gb news. >> patrick, thank you and good afternoon to you. well, the top story from the newsroom today is that downing street has confirmed 12 british citizens were killed during the hamas terror attack in israel on october the seventh. >> another five remain missing. that comes after an 85 year old

israeli hostage released by hamas last night despite her hell of being taken into a spider web of tunnels in gaza. yakov also said she was treated well and seen by a doctor during her ordeal . while hamas says she her ordeal. while hamas says she was returned dead along with another israeli woman , nurit another israeli woman, nurit cooper on humanity , darian cooper on humanity, darian grounds their husbands are still being held hostage. yakov z's daughter, sharon, who's a british citizen, translated her comments during a news conference earlier . conference earlier. >> my mom is saying that she was taken on the back of a motorbike with her body, with her legs on one side and a hide on another side that she was taken through the ploughed fields with the men in front on one side and a man behind her. and that while she was being taken , she was hit by was being taken, she was hit by sticks by shabab . yeah, shabab sticks by shabab. yeah, shabab people. and she ran until they reached the tunnels there. they

walked for a few kilometres on the wet ground . there are huge , the wet ground. there are huge, huge, huge network of tunnels underneath it looks like a spider web . spider web. >> well, family members of british israelis kidnapped and killed by hamas have also been speaking today . david bar lost speaking today. david bar lost his sister in law, mother of three, naomi . we are doing three, naomi. we are doing everything we need to do to destroy hamas in gaza. >> we will dismantle its terror machine . we will dismantle its machine. we will dismantle its political structure . we will political 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 unspeakable war civilians, doing unspeakable war crimes. they're also hiding behind civilians, their own civilians . as well. civilians. as well. >> that was the wrong clip there. but i can tell you that was the prime minister of israel , benjamin netanyahu, speaking earlier on news conference earlier on at a news conference after central israel faced its largest rocket barrage since the attacks of october the 7th. local media reporting that multiple rockets fired from gaza were intercepted over israel , in were intercepted over israel, in fact, over tel aviv. that's after the prime minister said hamas must be destroyed. at the same time warning the war will take time. >> well, we can also tell you the palestinian health ministry has said more than 700 people were killed in the past 24 hours, bringing their total now to nearly 5800. >> and israel's prime minister, as you saw there, saying after the war, nobody will live under the war, nobody will live under the tyranny of hamas . well, in the tyranny of hamas. well, in uk news now , the number of

uk news now, the number of hotels being used by the government to house asylum seekers is going to be reduced . seekers is going to be reduced. but the immigration minister has confirmed named 50 will be exited . that's their language by exited. that's their language by january . with that process january. with that process beginning in the coming days, the government hoping the move will alleviate some of the pubuc will alleviate some of the public anger over the daily cost of those hotels and the small boat crisis. robert jenrick told the commons hotels should be used for their intended purposes and these hotels should be assets for their local community cities serving businesses and tourists hosting the life events that we treasure, like weddings and birthdays, not housing illegal migrants at unsustainable cost to the taxpayer . taxpayer. >> so we took immediate action a year ago to reduce our reliance on hotels. we significantly increase the amount of dispersed accommodation and have increased funding for local councils . we funding for local councils. we reformed the management of the existing estate . existing estate. >> now the body of a man has

been recovered following a collision at sea. the uk flagged a cargo ship and another vessel crashed off the north german coast. that's southwest of an area called helgoland . the two area called helgoland. the two ships collided in the early hours of this morning with two people being rescued. germany's coast guard saying four others who are still missing may be on one of the ships which sank . the one of the ships which sank. the court of appeal has told been told, rather, the decision to revoke the so—called isis bride, shamima begum, of her british citizenship was unlawful . all citizenship was unlawful. all the 24 year old was a teenager when she travelled to syria in 2015, but was later deemed a risk to national security . her risk to national security. her lawyers are saying, though, that the home office failed to consider legal duties owed to ms begum as a potential victim of trafficking or as a result of state failures in her case. the hearing, which started today, concludes on thursday . and two

concludes on thursday. and two women who died in a crash during storm babet have been named by police today. mother and daughter cheryl woods and sarah smith from caerphilly were involved in a five vehicle collision on the m4 on friday. meanwhile, the met office is warning of more bad to weather come. in fact, a yellow weather alert for rain has been issued for the south—east of england from six until 10:00 tomorrow morning with gb news across the uk on tv , in your car, on uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. this is britain's news channel . this is britain's news channel. >> we have enough jihadis on the streets of britain without reintroducing shamima begum the tower hamlets terror tourist can rot in a foreign camp. we've already removed her citizenship. why on earth would we want to go back on that? she is currently embarking on a three day appeal heanng embarking on a three day appeal hearing to have her citizenship

reinstated. i hope, for goodness sake, that she isn't funding these appeals through legal aid, although i suspect that she probably which would mean probably is, which would mean that we're paying for it, that we're all paying for it, obviously. well we can add that to the list of prolific wrongs. the ordinary, hardworking brits have funded the courts. have funded through the courts. but case centres but the court case centres around or not it is around whether or not it is wrong to strip her of her citizenship because there is a strong suspicion that she was recruited, transferred and then harboured for the purposes of sexual exploitation by isis . sexual exploitation by isis. essentially, the she's a victim and that she's british. therefore she is our victim and she should come home. right. look, we all make mistakes in life sometimes those mistakes have consequences. mistakes like joining a jihadi death squad . joining a jihadi death squad. that's the kind of error that you have to live with forever. she's had three children. apparently, they have all suddenly passed away. and she did she put them in that did regret she put them in that situation when she has to take some accountable for that. she's believed to have sown suicide bombers into their vests . she bombers into their vests. she was hardly a spectator to

islamic state authorities and crimes people say that she was young.she crimes people say that she was young. she didn't know what she was doing. she was reportedly a straight—a student who was 15 at the time. and many people want 16 year olds to have the vote . 16 year olds to have the vote. she's old enough to know the difference between right and wrong, especially when it comes to islamist extremism. this country is taken for mugs all the . we really are like the time. we really are like when shouting aboutjihad when people shouting aboutjihad on streets under banner of on the streets under a banner of muslim apparently muslim armies are apparently deemed to a problem . and deemed not to be a problem. and i think we might be being lied to shamima well by to about shamima as well by shamima in fact, by herself. she first appears in old traditional muslim clobber, doesn't she ? muslim clobber, doesn't she? then before you know it, it's the baseball caps out. they've slapped a bit of lippy on her and she's a western woman. i mean come off it. that's just a pr charade, isn't it? when we next see her, will she be wearing a crop top of a face full of botox lip filler, full of botox and lip filler, eating and chips and eating fish and chips and singing i mean, singing rule britannia? i mean, jog don't whether or

jog on. i don't care whether or not poses risk. not she poses a huge risk. actually, risk at all is too actually, any risk at all is too much . it's the message that it much. it's the message that it sends out to other would be jihadis, isn't it? yesterday, the prime minister said that jihad posed a threat to british values. well we need to make sure, don't we, that this jihadi bride never comes back to britain . well, those are my britain. well, those are my views . i want to hear from you, views. i want to hear from you, gbviews@gbnews.com. i'll have more on shamima begum a little bit later on in the hour. that is a three day case, apparently that's taking place. today is just day but now to our top just day one. but now to our top story, is fact that story, and that is the fact that the government planning to the government is planning to stop housing migrants in expensive instead expensive hotels and instead make cheaper make them share rooms in cheaper motels . the move is, in part motels. the move is, in part designed to improve the conservative party's popularity in key battleground areas like in key battleground areas like in wigan and in stoke , where in wigan and in stoke, where anger at the government's decision to spend £8 million a day on housing illegal immigrants and a failure to end the small boats crisis is

particularly acute. addressing the house of commons earlier on, immigration minister robert jenrick said that the use of hotels house migrants was hotels to house migrants was quite unacceptable and quite simply unacceptable and one of the most damaging manifestations of this problem has the use of hotels to has been the use of hotels to meet our statutory obligation to house those who arrive illegally but would othennise be destitute i >> -- >> it ever since the prime minister, the home secretary and i assumed office one year ago, we have made it clear that this was completely unacceptable and must end as soon as practicable. these hotels should be assets for their local communities serving businesses and tourists. host putting the life events that we treasure like weddings and birthdays , not housing. and birthdays, not housing. illegal migrants at unsustainable cost to the taxpayer . taxpayer. >> right. i mean, we have heard all of this before, apart from the reduction in migrant hotels. let's go to political correspondent olivia utley now, who is in westminster for us. olivia, thank you very, very

much . so this will come as much. so this will come as welcome news some and it is welcome news by some and it is in part down to the that in part down to the fact that channel migrant crossings are down aren't they ? yeah down 30, aren't they? yeah >> i mean this is quite an achievement for the government. robert jenrick the immigration minister was sounding chuffed in the chamber today and not surprisingly because channel migrant crossings are down by 30% in 2023 compared to 2022. and over the next six months, the government is planning to close 100 hotels for migrant youth. so they'll go back to being used by ordinary communities . et cetera. now, communities. et cetera. now, obviously it's baby steps for hundred hotels are currently being used to house migrants at a cost of £8 million per day . to a cost of £8 million per day. to the taxpayer, there are 50,000 and migrants current only in hotels around the country, so closing 100 of them is good, but it's not quite good enough . and it's not quite good enough. and that actually is a statement which can be repeated basically

across the board with what the government is doing on cutting down the number of migrants. yes, they have managed to shrink the backlog . at the beginning of the backlog. at the beginning of this year, there were 92,000 asylum seekers waiting to have their claims processed. now it's 55,000. great except that rishi sunak said that he would have ended the backlog, got rid of it completely by the end of this yean completely by the end of this year, we're already nearly year, and we're already nearly in and the government in november and the government has increased the number of caseworkers who are dealing with these a week, these claims. so now in a week, 4500 claims are dealt with instead of 400 at the beginning of this year . well, great. but of this year. well, great. but if the backlog is still 55,000, there's a long, long way to go. so it's a good step fonnard for the government and for robert jenrick the immigration minister. but will it be enough for people at home and also the success is mitigated by the fact that it seems that the government is choosing to close hotels. two, to end contracts with hotels in areas where the conservatives face defeat by

labour first. so it seems to be a bit of cynical political manoeuvring at play. yeah indeed. >> part of me thinks that's absolutely fine by the way, because if people want to vote for a party that is maybe more inclined to adopt a policy that leads to more migrant hotels, then able to feel then they should be able to feel then they should be able to feel the full force of that. it's got a old martha's a whiff of the old martha's vineyard treatment to it, doesn't olivia, thank doesn't it? but olivia, thank you as our you very much. as olivia, our political correspondent . i'm political correspondent. i'm going now to maureen going to go now to maureen o'beirne we o'beirne, because we were heanng o'beirne, because we were hearing we, about one of hearing weren't we, about one of the areas apparently where the migrant going to be migrant hotels are going to be rolled wicked . and rolled back is wicked. and maureen independent maureen is an independent councillor been councillor in wicked. it's been involved against involved in protests against hotels being used to hotels in the town being used to house migrants. it's great to have the show. thank you have you on the show. thank you very, much. this very, very much. so is this welcome you or too welcome news for you or too little late ? little too late? >> it is welcome news, but we've not been given any information on there's two migrant hotels in standish, which is an outskirt of wigan , and we've not been of wigan, and we've not been told which one is going to close, if any. we've not been given that information. it's good news in that we do need the

hotel back part of our hotel back to be part of our community for weddings , for the community for weddings, for the gym . we need all those gym. we need all those facilities back. but where are these people going to go? if they are they have to move from they are they have to move from the hotel wigan as a housing crisis. 14,000 on the housing waiting list. i'm working with families who've been told if they do have to leave the properties due to no fault evictions, they could be moved to blackpool. all hotels are out of the area, away from children's schools, away from family support , which is really family support, which is really wrong when we've got our own hotels that are full of migrants . but we do want to know what is going happen. circles at going to happen. circles at capacity in wigan with 310 properties filled with mice . so properties filled with mice. so there's no social housing. so we need answers, really just saying they're going to close and we need to know where people are going to be moved to. >> yeah, no indeed. and there going to be moved to. >1massivelo indeed. and there going to be moved to. >1massive concernd. and there going to be moved to. >1massive concern about there going to be moved to. >1massive concern about what a massive concern about what happens if they are just approving a load of people because quite often they say, well, you've got 28 days or so

to leave this particular facility and clearly they're not allowed to work in the meantime. so have built so they won't have built up legal anyway any kind income legal anyway any kind of income that can use put down that they can use to put down a deposit a on a flat or deposit on a on a flat or whatever, if they want rent whatever, if they want to rent it, there is that it, the fear there is that they're to end up homeless they're going to end up homeless on the streets of wigan isn't it? is . because mean for >> yeah, it is. because mean for the young men themselves, what future is it? they need to know their people of future is it? they need to know theitown people of future is it? they need to know theitown need people of future is it? they need to know theitown need to people of future is it? they need to know theitown need to knomple of future is it? they need to know theitown need to knomplnwell. the town need to know as well. we already have homeless we do already have a homeless problem . there is no available problem. there is no available housing and i think the government needs to address this immediately. process the claims . immediately. process the claims. if they are found valid , maybe if they are found valid, maybe to be able to stay and work , to be able to stay and work, which should a minority which should be a minority personally , i think of personally, i think a lot of these people economic these people are economic migrants or needs to be migrants or there needs to be swift really return to their own country if they've not got found to have a valid asylum seeker claim. >> what happened in standish in wigan was there initially a big wave of welcoming people and that this is all right? and if you don't like it, you're a racist and all of that stuff.

and then the reality of it set in changed. or what's in and things changed. or what's the kind of mood on the ground been like ? been like? >> well, people are aren't happy at all and we're not unwelcoming. and we're not racist. we already had the britannia hotel, which was those in 270 young men. there had been issues around that. i'm sure there's more of decent people, but there have been concerns about safety. women were frightened to walk on local walks . when you've got no walks. when you've got no problem, nearly 400 young men in a small village , there's going a small village, there's going to concerns . people have not to be concerns. people have not been using businesses as much because we've not been having weddings . so people have not weddings. so people have not been using bars restaurant been using the bars restaurant shops the economy's shops the same. so the economy's taking dive. you say, taking a dive. like you say, it's economic concerns, safety concerns and just general fairness really . yeah, people fairness really. yeah, people were welcoming at first, but it's just become ovennhelming . it's just become ovennhelming. >> absolutely. and again, the other issue that is looming, not justin other issue that is looming, not just in standish, but as far as i can tell in basically every single town or village, in some cases that's got one of these

migrant hotels is that once the cases are approved and i suspect ihave cases are approved and i suspect i have my suspicions that are going to end up waving a lot of these people through to get rid of this backlog so that means these people through to get rid of ttthey cklog so that means these people through to get rid of ttthey cklog s(accepted. |ns that they will be accepted. a lot that then falls lot of them, that it then falls the responsibility the the responsibility onto the local to find housing the responsibility onto the loc these to find housing the responsibility onto the loc these people rind housing the responsibility onto the loc these people .1d housing the responsibility onto the loc these people . andyusing the responsibility onto the loc these people . and asing the responsibility onto the loc these people . and as you for these people. and as you were just saying there, there's already crisis there. already a housing crisis there. there's a lack of there's already a lack of housing stock. so what happens? well, end up seeing councils well, we end up seeing councils like last week a story like we had last week a story that i broke here waltham that i broke here about waltham forest, where they've spent about £35 million plus a £15 million government loan buying up new houses just specifically for afghan and ukrainian refugees. meanwhile, there are, of course , people there who are of course, people there who are homeless. but yes , it's great to homeless. but yes, it's great to get your your views. maureen and thank you very much for joining us. want clarity, us. you obviously want clarity, don't exactly. exactly don't you, on. exactly. exactly which hotel you need clarity on that, don't you? well hopefully you might that in a couple you might get that in a couple of we'll to wait and of days. we'll have to wait and see who's see as moreno burn there, who's an independent councillor in wigan , been involved wigan, she's been involved in protests hotels that

covering the release of those two hostages. we were in there just within seconds. we heard the telltale thuds of the iron dome missile defence systems being activated. now that's a subsonic or i should say a supersonic bang that you hear when these missiles reach those speeds us and you get that sonic boom. but then seconds later , boom. but then seconds later, the smaller sound of the explosion , even as these iron explosion, even as these iron dome missiles connected with dozens of rockets coming over from gaza. now some of the rockets we believe, did get through one community northeast of tel aviv was targeted, a building very badly damaged in that particular community. but no word as yet on any injuries. now, this came patrick on the day. as i say, we're here at this hospital in central tel aviv reporting on the good news.

for once of the release of two elderly female hostages who have been held for over two weeks now. hamas saying that they decided to let them go after negotiations with egypt and the international red cross on humanitarian grounds. so i've been looking back at the events of the day , understandably dazed of the day, understandably dazed and confused , these two elderly and confused, these two elderly hostages were handed over by hamas at the gaza—egypt border late last night, released the terror group, say, on humanitarian grounds in the early hours, a military helicopter landed at this tel aviv medical centre with the two women doctor who examined them, said they were in good condition despite their ordeal . later, despite their ordeal. later, yakov felt strong enough to face the cameras alongside her daughter, sharon, who lives in london. she said she wanted to give the israeli military as

much information as possible about the tunnels she was held in. >> there are a huge , huge net >> there are a huge, huge net work of tunnels underneath. it looks like a spider web . looks like a spider web. >> it is certainly a welcome development. but israeli sources say it's straight out of the hamas playbook, a delaying tactic that won't divert them from the task at hand , the air from the task at hand, the air war and then ground offensive to destroy hamas . the tall on the destroy hamas. the tall on the many thousands of people still in northern gaza continues to grow with the hamas controlled health ministry, claiming more than 5000 people have been killed here since the start of the war in tel aviv . the french the war in tel aviv. the french president is the latest world leader to arrive here meeting with the heads of the israeli government before a scheduled

visit to the west bank and talks with the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas in the north of israel. the military struck more positions over the border in southern lebanon overnight , border in southern lebanon overnight, claiming they took out hezbollah terrorists planning attacks on israeli communities and military installations in gaza . for most installations in gaza. for most people, there is nowhere to evacuate to. they are completely reliant on aid supplies crossing the border from egypt. more convoys are reaching the gaza strip , but it's just a trickle strip, but it's just a trickle in comparison to the hundreds of aid trucks that normally pass through this crossing . mark through this crossing. mark white gb news tel aviv . well, white gb news tel aviv. well, some more breaking news now. and that a visit by emmanuel macron , that a visit by emmanuel macron, we can confirm now that he has met with the palestinian authority president, mahmoud

abbas . an important aspect of abbas. an important aspect of his visit because emmanuel macron wants to stress that once the fighting is over, once from israel's point of view, they have achieved their goal of removing hamas from the gaza strip . they've got to look to strip. they've got to look to the future and one model may be that the palestinian authority regains control of gaza, run gaza going fonnard . and the hope gaza going fonnard. and the hope is that eventually it seems so far away at the moment, but eventually there could still be a two state solution . a two state solution. >> mark, thank you very much. mark white. there our security editor who's in tel aviv for us, bringing very latest on bringing us the very latest on a series breaking news lines series of breaking news lines from there. i'm just going to delve into the inbox very quickly a quickly now. gb views a gbnews.com. very much gbnews.com. thank you very much to everybody been getting gbnews.com. thank you very much to touch. ody been getting gbnews.com. thank you very much to touch. ody has been getting gbnews.com. thank you very much to touch. ody has been] getting gbnews.com. thank you very much to touch. ody has been onetting gbnews.com. thank you very much to touch. ody has been on and; in touch. paul has been on and a lot in the inbox about what i'm going talk shortly, going to talk about shortly, which begum , the case which is shamima begum, the case back the three day back in court, the three day appeal hearing as to whether or not it was right to have her

the child that you have raised and loved and cared for could present themselves and then at some point somebody might tell them that they've been born into them that they've been born into the body or they might be the wrong body or they might be taught incredibly things taught incredibly graphic things in a sex education class that you as a parent not be you as a parent might not be happy with. the fear presumably will it could will be that it could indoctrinate them or have some kind of impact negatively on their life. of course, the flip side to it is that, well, why don't you trust the teachers and isn't this a good thing? children maybe growing up children are maybe growing up quicker than used to and quicker than they used to and potentially as well, parents, this could be a damaging influence themselves . so i'm influence themselves. so i'm joined by the director of joined now by the director of family is peter family education trust. is peter willis. peter, thank you very, very much. do parents have a right know what's being right to know what's being taught classes? taught in sex ed classes? >> do. >> they certainly do. >> they certainly do. >> the primary >> parents are the primary educators of children. educators of their children. it is absolutely their responsibility, duty, and responsibility, their duty, and therefore their right to deal with this in their own way, according to their own principles and own values. principles and their own values. and there enable and schools are there to enable that, not to stand in loco

parentis, not to be parents themselves. >> what are you what are you so worried about? >> i would concerned >> well, i would be concerned here isn't anywhere here that this isn't anywhere near in order to near good enough in order to equip parents to not only educate children , but educate their own children, but also from also to protect them from unsuitable materials. >> know there have been >> we know that there have been graphic in schools. we graphic materials in schools. we know that there's been gender ideology in schools. there's been accountability in been no accountability in gillian keegan's statement for that. we actually did a public inquiry to see how far this has gone, how many children have been affected by it. but irrespective none of irrespective of that, none of what she says today enables parents to stop that material necessary from occurring. for example , doesn't allow parents example, doesn't allow parents to. a school decides to to. if a school decides to stonewall by saying , well, we'll stonewall by saying, well, we'll show this material, but only show you this material, but only in in the middle of in a meeting in the middle of the . you're parent who the day. if you're a parent who doesn't time the doesn't have the time or the wherewithal, doesn't have the time or the wisay nithal, doesn't have the time or the wisay , thal, doesn't have the time or the wisay , actually, hang on, to say, actually, hang on, i will insist upon seeing this in a way that convenient , then a way that is convenient, then you that, nor can you. you can't do that, nor can you. in fact, really importantly, nor can you that material and can you share that material and that means they can't go to ofsted discuss them that means they can't go to ofst share discuss them that means they can't go to ofstshare itiiscuss them that means they can't go to ofst share it with ;s them that means they can't go to ofstshare it with them. them that means they can't go to

ofstshare it with them. theyem and share it with them. they can't to media. can't whistleblow to the media. this serious and this is really serious and i think that this is not nearly good enough. right you're good enough. so right now you're as understand it, you're as you understand it, you're telling that if i had a child telling me that if i had a child in school and i said , i want to in school and i said, i want to see what you're teaching them in sex education, school could sex education, that school could say could show me. say no or they could show me. they can't say no . they can they can't say no. they can stonewall. and actually , again, stonewall. and actually, again, this is all contingent upon parents being able to see the material potentially , not material potentially, but not being share again being able to share it. again not to we live in a free not to say we live in a free country, one can tell me that country, no one can tell me that i'm to share i'm not allowed to share anything want to share. anything that i want to share. well, they can if it's a matter anything that i want to share. w(intellectual if it's a matter anything that i want to share. w(intellectual property matter anything that i want to share. w(in canectual property matter anything that i want to share. w( in can ectthey roperty matter anything that i want to share. w( in can ectthey roperty mati kind they can if they have some kind of punishment to you, if you break so if it's of punishment to you, if you brenda, so if it's of punishment to you, if you brenda, if so if it's of punishment to you, if you brenda, if it's so if it's of punishment to you, if you brenda, if it's non—disclosure an nda, if it's a non—disclosure agreement, then, yes, there are legal consequences to that. >> make someone legal consequences to that. >> on make someone legal consequences to that. >> on parent, make someone legal consequences to that. >> on parent, sign e someone sign on to a parent, sign a non—disclosure agreement to say, right, you that we right, we will tell you that we are teaching your eight year old child about some really fruity sexual stuff, but you can't tell anyone about it. yeah. how big a problem actually is this, though? are we dealing in worst case scenario here? is this a problem? know, is it real?

problem? you know, is it real? it is. >> e have it is. >> have anecdotal >> well, we have anecdotal evidence from across the evidence from parents across the country tell us exactly country who tell us exactly what's one particular what's going on. one particular member showed me member of our staff showed me material exposed to material that's being exposed to her children. and it's explicit , her children. and it's explicit, it's graphic. and this is before we even get gender we even get to the gender ideological know ideological stuff, which we know from june, where was from june, where there was a just panoply cases. just a panoply of cases. in fact, was talking with fact, i was here talking with you about it, about these cases, about gender about furries, about gender ideology know already ideology. we know that's already happening. this is clearly happening. so this is clearly a problem. thing we don't problem. the thing is, we don't know of it. and know the extent of it. and that's i say we really that's why i say what we really should public inquiry should have is a public inquiry as this has been allowed as to how this has been allowed to in first place and to happen in the first place and what the extent of it is. >> you think that there >> why do you think that there is desire teach children in is a desire to teach children in very graphic things that go beyond the kind of basic birds and the bees, gender ideology , and the bees, gender ideology, and the bees, gender ideology, and then to cover that up. i mean, you know, if i'd as a parent said to say my child's history teacher , can you show me history teacher, can you show me what's on the curriculum, there wouldn't be any problem there because there's nothing to hide about tudors really . but but about the tudors really. but but it implies here that is

it implies here that there is something about what something to hide about what they're teaching kids. >> i think know that >> yeah, i think they know that parents have parents are going to have a problem i think parents are going to have a prob|think i think parents are going to have a prob|think that i think parents are going to have a prob|think that they i think parents are going to have a prob|think that they knomink parents are going to have a prob|think that they know better they think that they know better because again, because there's a certain again, ideological capture of institutions , particularly in institutions, particularly in the profession, where the teaching profession, where they no, we need they said, no, no, we need to educate children this educate children into this particular thinking, educate children into this particlaccepts thinking, educate children into this particlaccepts thiniidentity which accepts gender identity and gender ideology. but parents, they think, aren't enlightened enough to accept that. and that, i think, is the real problem here, that they're thinking as better thinking of themselves as better and than parents. and more important than parents. no parents central, so that no parents are central, so that would be the argument against it, which is that your parents might be incredibly bigoted and as well , let's be honest, in as well, let's be honest, in certain communities , you know, certain communities, you know, you might suffer some kind of honour based violence or something at home if you are a member of the lgbt q plus community, or even if you just engagein community, or even if you just engage in basic sexual activity , engage in basic sexual activity, so do schools not have a duty to guard against that? oh, no, absolutely. you do. it's called safeguarding, and we already have the principles in place.

i'm the of the board of i'm the chair of the board of governors of a nursery school, so well the so i know very well the safeguarding so i know very well the safethey?ing so i know very well the safethey? certainly not. not. are they? certainly not. not. thank not come up thank heaven. that's not come up yet. but nonetheless, the safeguarding is there. i'm the safeguarding is there. i'm the safeguarding , so safeguarding officer myself, so i is already i know that this is already there, of there, but this is a part of safeguarding that we should not be age, be exposing children under age, children below the age of consent and consent to graphic materials and gender . that surely gender ideology. that surely itself safeguarding itself is a safeguarding measure. and therefore, if the schools are doing it, they are portraying their own principles in safeguarding . okay. in terms of safeguarding. okay. >> all right. do think >> all right. do you think you're up seeing a you're going to end up seeing a rise schooling? you're going to end up seeing a rise like schooling? you're going to end up seeing a rise like to schooling? you're going to end up seeing a rise like to think:hooling? you're going to end up seeing a rise like to think so oling? you're going to end up seeing a rise like to think so ..ing? you're going to end up seeing a rise like to think so . ilg? you're going to end up seeing a rise like to think so. i think >> i like to think so. i think we be supporting home we should be supporting home schooling and think schooling very much. and i think that parents are that the more that parents are equipped themselves to be the primary educators of their children, better off are. children, the better off we are. and need to be and of course, there need to be again, safeguarding measures. and of course, there need to be againneedlguarding measures. and of course, there need to be again needlgu being measures. and of course, there need to be again needlgu be standards. es. and of course, there need to be again needlgu be standards. but they need to be standards. but there has to i think the there has to be, i think the freedom parents that freedom of parents to be that primary educators . primary educators. >> yeah, i think we're going to primary educators. >> aah, i think we're going to primary educators. >> a massivelk we're going to primary educators. >> a massive shift're going to primary educators. >> a massive shift in going to primary educators. >> a massive shift in stigma.) see a massive shift in stigma. actually. i don't think necessarily should have been a stigma to begin with. think stigma to begin with. i think anything unusual anything that is unusual obviously attention and obviously attracts attention and it is much more usual for people

sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news is . welcome back. news is. welcome back. >> it's just coming up to 4:45. you're watching or listening to

me. patrick christys on gb news. now in a few moments , of course, now in a few moments, of course, with shamima begum , who you can with shamima begum, who you can see on your screens. now, if you're watching us on tv or online, we're going to be discussing whether or not she should into should be allowed back into britain. well, britain. why you may ask? well, because is because that court case is rearing its head yet again . rearing its head yet again. she's in the appeal court. i'm keen to know whether or not we are paying in legal for her are paying in legal aid for her latest round of cases. by latest round of court cases. by the way , apparently they're the way, apparently they're saying she was trafficked. saying that she was trafficked. she's a victim and she should be allowed to come back to britain and begum is our and that shamima begum is our problem. you stand on problem. where do you stand on that? be a that? i will be having a discussion but discussion on that shortly. but it year since rishi it is exactly a year since rishi sunak conservative it is exactly a year since rishi sunaileader conservative it is exactly a year since rishi sunaileader . conservative it is exactly a year since rishi sunaileader . now, conservative it is exactly a year since rishi sunaileader . now, whethertive party leader. now, whether anyone should be wishing him a happy anniversary is debateable because far failed to because he has so far failed to make massive inroads into labour's lead in the polls . the labour's lead in the polls. the tories licking their wounds tories are licking their wounds after last week's two by—election , and there by—election defeat, and there wasn't much good news in a survey published this week. so yougov found that 1% of people think that sunak is doing a great job at 25. question said

that he's doing a poorjob at the same number of people said he's doing terribly . again, he's doing terribly. again, i just want to emphasise that political polling . i mean you political polling. i mean you very rarely get an absolutely stonking. he's doing a great job or she's doing a great job for your prime minister. do you? that near awful that is nowhere near as awful as it looks paper. i would also it looks on paper. i would also quite to see the one that quite like to see the one that they did humza yousaf . but they did about humza yousaf. but our christopher our political editor christopher hope back at hope has been looking back at rishi sunak's first 12 months in hope has been looking back at ristob. nak's first 12 months in the job. >> this week , thousands of >> this week, thousands of britons are clearing up after the devastating effects of storm babet. >> but a year ago today, a different kind of hurricane had hit the country's economy . hit the country's economy. ex—chancellor rishi sunak stepped in to restore the tories reputation in this government. >> will have integrity , >> will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level . accountability at every level. >> sunak might have been given the job 12 months ago, but we had to wait three more months before he set out his five targets for his premiership .

targets for his premiership. >> in january, we will halve inflation or grow the economy, reduce debt and cut waiting lists and stop the boats. >> nine months on a legal channel crossings are down by a fifth due to a deal with albania. but the policy's ultimate success won't be known until the supreme court rules on the legality of processing new arrivals in rwanda in coming weeks. another target is similarly at risk from the stormy political weather nhs stormy political weather n hs waiting stormy political weather nhs waiting lists have soared, not helped by repeated strikes by health staff. the other three are in better shape . our are in better shape. our national debt has fallen slightly, while the economy has shown signs of anaemic growth. >> so rishi sunak did steady the ship after liz truss calming down financial markets, but i think his economic stewardship has been pretty othennise lacklustre. we've dodged recession, but growth remains slow and taxes are high. inflation fallen to 6.7. but it's still high compared to the us and europe and sunak may miss

his pledge to halve inflation to 5% by the end of the year. look, elections are won and lost ovennhelmingly on the economy and so far i don't think sunak has done enough . has done enough. >> a series of morale sapping by—election defeats for the tory party have helped. party won't have helped. >> people told it was >> people told me that it was not possible to this seat in not possible to win this seat in this by—election. >> and you absolutely smashed it. what a result. what a piece of history that you have been part of. >> sunak went onto the front foot in september by setting out a slower rate at which the uk can greenhouse gas emission can cut greenhouse gas emission as the test should be. >> do we have the fairest credible path to reach net zero by 2050 in a way that brings people with us since i've become prime minister, i've examined our plans and i don't think they meet that test. >> there was an immediate uptick in the party's fortunes at the polls . tories on the right wing polls. tories on the right wing of the party wanted to see more, but it never came the best sunak could offer. the party's could offer. at the party's conference in manchester was a final axing of the hs2 rail

route to manchester. >> i say to those who back the project first place, the project in the first place, the facts have changed and the right thing to do. when the facts change is to have the courage to change is to have the courage to change direction . change direction. >> the passing of his first year anniversary as tory leader means that conservative mps can now start to submit letters of no confidence in his leadership . confidence in his leadership. any protests will only be symbolic, however , as in truth, symbolic, however, as in truth, sunak leadership is safe until the next general election. and if last week's byelections are a guide that verdict by the voters will make this weekend's rain and flooding look like the calm before the electoral hurricane. in a few months time. before the electoral hurricane. in a few months time . for grief, right? >> okay . yesterday, i brought >> okay. yesterday, i brought you rishi sunak's comments on the pro—palestine protest in london. now the prime minister said, chanting jihad is a threat to british democracy and with incredible timing, isis bride shamima begum has today started her bid to overturn the decision to revoke her british citizenship. begum travelled to

syria in 2015 at the age of 15, where among other things, she sowed isis bombers into suicide vests . her legal team say the vests. her legal team say the decision to strip her of her british citizenship was unlawful . i'm joined now by immigration lawyer ivan sampson. ivan, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. please tell me the taxpayer isn't paying her legal costs . costs. >> who mama begum . yeah, well, >> who mama begum. yeah, well, first of all, she's been represented by. >> who is it? samantha knight qc on a pro bono basis. >> and no, the answer is no . >> and no, the answer is no. >> and no, the answer is no. >> it's been done on a pro bono basis . basis. >> that's interesting. so a kc is willing to represent a jihadi bride on a pro bono basis ? bride on a pro bono basis? >> no, i wouldn't say that. >> no, i wouldn't say that. >> i'd say cases . >> i'd say cases. >> i'd say cases. >> every person is entitled to a defence and whether she's you say she's a jihadi bride or not, i don't say she's a jihadi bride. >> she married a jihadi . >> she married a jihadi. >> she married a jihadi. >> yeah, but the point is,

everyone's entitled to a fair hearing. >> that's my point. it's interesting, though, isn't it? >> because it's not the cab rank rule. this is. it is this. is this is a case that's gone out of their way. no. to defend someone like that . someone like that. >> but you'd have to ask samantha knight kc that question. >> patrick well, i can tell you about the case. >> what's going to happen on the case and what the arguments of both sides. >> i can tell you about that. well whether it's right or not, for samantha knight to represent shamima baker, you have to pose that shamima baker, you have to pose tha okay. all right . so how >> okay. all right. so how likely it, do you reckon, likely is it, do you reckon, that shamima begum is going to end up back in blighty then? is it stands? she's it currently stands? she's not a british citizen argument british citizen and the argument is was wrong because is that that was wrong because we take into account that we didn't take into account that she was trafficked and that she was victim in all of was actually a victim in all of this. that right? this. is that right? >> i mean, what the what >> yes. i mean, what the what her lawyers are saying is, is the fact that she was trafficked is mandatory, is a mandatory, relevant consideration option when considering whether she should be refused entry on conducive to

pubuc be refused entry on conducive to public good grounds . public good grounds. >> and also, it's disproportionate because the home office failed to consider that in addition, what they're saying is that there were contributory factors and you'll i don't know whether you remember in the siak hearing before this in february , they before this in february, they made a ruling that the tower hamlets, the metropolitan police andindeed hamlets, the metropolitan police and indeed her school, there were failings in in not reporting this risk of her flight so that all contribute and so the other on the other side , the home office is saying side, the home office is saying is that the it's irrelevant consideration. >> and so i got it right. >> and so i got it right. >> shimon begum lawyers are countering that by saying that national security shouldn't trump someone's human rights. >> and if someone has been trafficked and we were part of that reason why she was trafficked and we failed to recognise that she's been manipulated . covid and that manipulated. covid and that should be a considered option, considering whether to deprive

her of a citizenship. i think it's an interesting legal point that more interesting point is the fact that she, although she was born in the uk , the home was born in the uk, the home office can still deprive her of a citizenship if you because her parents are from abroad. so what they're creating is a two tier system. so if your parents are from and you're a from abroad and you're a british, you've got other rights. but if you're white british, you have different rights. >> and think that's very >> and i think that's very dangerous. is that? dangerous. why is that? >> what? yeah, but isn't >> what's what? yeah, but isn't that just that's just geography, isn't it? that's just that's just statement of fact, just a simple statement of fact, isn't . if you're like, if isn't it. if you're like, if you're. well aren't you also, can i just disagree on can i just disagree with you on that i'm that vehemently because i'm white dad's white british, but my dad's greek my mum's greek cypriot and my mum's irish. i could moved to irish. so i could be moved to either those. it's not as either of those. so it's not as simple as if you're white. and that's lie, isn't it? actually that's a lie, isn't it? actually >> no, because most white >> well, no, because most white people, most white people, ethnic don't have foreign parents. their parents who are born here as well. >> it is a lie. sorry. no no,

no, no, no. that is a lie that there's a two tier system and that white british is just it just happens to be if you're white, british and your parents and grandparents are british, then there's nowhere else to send you. but you could send me somewhere else. so it's not it's not true that there's a two tier police system. >> it's a question. it's a question of proportion of making something look racist when it isn't. >> isn't it? >> isn't it? >> no, no, no, no. not white racism about racism. i'm talking about unfairness. it's. it's proportionality . proportionality. >> but it's unfair, is it? >> but it's not unfair, is it? >> but it's not unfair, is it? >> somebody has no >> well, if somebody has no connection, never visited , born connection, never visited, born in this country and that country says we won't take you in any case. >> and yet the government can still deprive you of your british citizenship. i think that's disproportionate to the aims they're trying to achieve. so it is a difference, i'm afraid, and so people who've got parents from abroad have less security. being british, if the government thinks that you're only if you join isis , of course

only if you join isis, of course , mean of course. i mean, which is quite a major caveat, isn't it? >> i mean, realistically, it wouldn't affect you and it wouldn't affect you and it wouldn't affect you and it wouldn't affect me. and it wouldn't really affect anyone. we therefore , it's we know, therefore, it's arguably a moot the arguably a moot point. the overarching point be overarching point should be don't marry an isis fighter, don't marry an isis fighter, don't marry an isis fighter, don't marry isis fighter. so don't marry an isis fighter. so people vests and people into suicide vests and enjoy looking at beheaded corpses. and you're probably all right, aren't you ? right, aren't you? >> well, if an english person did that , they'd get banged up. did that, they'd get banged up. so just bang up everyone. why depnve so just bang up everyone. why deprive someone of their citizenship? there's a there's a discrimination . thing. so if discrimination. thing. so if someone committed a crime, by all means, bang them. and on top of that, whatever risk that shamima begum poses, i'm not a pro shamima begum person can be right. i think of the right. i think some of the things does terrible and things she does terrible and i understand people's sentiments and distrust of her, but they can contain the risk with with proper tagging and security just to make sure she doesn't and which again which which are the

which again which which are the which are the brits would have to pay for wouldn't they. >> which would be unless of course the case he wants fund course the case he wants to fund that well pro bono. but ivan, that as well pro bono. but ivan, thank you much. ivan thank you very much. ivan thompson, . thompson, immigration lawyer. right. still to come, firefighters in spain have been striking for the last four months over working conditions and pay, but i'm not sure that they're prove their they're going to prove their point this point by behaving like this because using because they've been using flamethrowers and apparently hand with riot police. hand grenades with riot police. yeah okay. so one went to hospital with a broken cheekbone and a broken nose . remarkable and a broken nose. remarkable scenes. this actually genuinely seriously flamethrowers on the streets of spain and the firefighters attacking police officers and vice versa. i mean, thatis officers and vice versa. i mean, that is that is societies in a mess there, isn't it? we think we've got it bad here. but anyway, has anyway, the government has announced plans to cut the number hotels accommodate number of hotels to accommodate eight charleton migrants. it's a good thing or not. patrick christys. gb news crisis news .

also said she was treated well and seen by a doctor. hamas says she was returned along with another female israeli hostage, nurit cooper on humanitarian grounds as their husbands, though, are still being held hostage. djokovic daughter sharon, who's a british citizen, translated her comments during a news conference earlier today. >> my mom is saying that she was taken on the back of a motorbike with her body, with her legs on one side and a hide on another side that she was taken through the ploughed field with the men in front on one side and a man behind her, and that while she was being taken, she was hit by sticks by shabab. shabab yeah, shabab. people al—qaeda until they reach the tunnel there . they reach the tunnel there. they walked for a few kilometres

on the wet ground . malima later on the wet ground. malima later there are a huge, huge network of tunnels underneath it looks like a spider web . well central like a spider web. well central israel has faced its largest rocket barrage since the attacks of october the 7th. >> local media reports that multiple rockets fired from gaza were intercepted over tel aviv and that's after israel's prime minister said hamas must be destroyed at the same time warning the war may take time. well the palestinian health ministry says more than 700 people were killed in the past 24 hours, bringing their total now to nearly 5800. israel prime minister says after the war, no one will live under the tyranny of hamas. we are doing everything we need to do to destroy hamas in gaza. >> we will dismantle its terror

machine . we will dismantle its machine. we will dismantle its political structure . we will political 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 unspeakable war civilians, doing unspeakable war crimes. they're also hiding behind civilians, their own civilians . civilians. >> as netanyahu speaking earlier on, well, family members of british israelis kidnapped and killed by hamas have also been speaking. david bar lost his sister in law , mother of three. sister in law, mother of three. naomi. here's what he had to say . it was easy to bury our our loved ones than to go through the anguish that they're going through . through. >> and i can't believe i'm saying that . we buried my sister 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 identify. what we call the smile of the south of israel . she was of the south of israel. she was shotin of the south of israel. she was shot in the back and shot again in the head at point blank range i >> david bar speaking earlier on. now in use here in the uk, the number of hotels being used by the government to house asylum seekers is going to be reduced. the immigration minister confirmed today 50 hotels will be exited by january. with that process beginning in the coming days, the government hopes the move will alleviate some of the pubuc will alleviate some of the public anger over the small boat crisis and the daily cost of hotels , which has now hit £8 hotels, which has now hit £8 million a day. robert jenrick spoke in the commons earlier . spoke in the commons earlier. >> these hotels should be assets for their local communities serving businesses and tourists , serving businesses and tourists, hosting the life events that we treasure, like weddings and birthdays , not housing. illegal birthdays, not housing. illegal migrants at unsustainable cost

to the taxpayer. so we took immediate action a year ago to reduce our reliance on hotels as we significantly increase the amount of dispersed accommodation and have increased funding for local councils. we reformed the management of the existing estate . existing estate. >> the body of a man has been recovered following a collision at sea . a uk flagged cargo ship at sea. a uk flagged cargo ship and another vessel crashed off the german coast just south—west of heligoland, in the centre of the north sea. the two ships collided in the early hours of this morning with two people being rescued and germany's coastguard says four others who are missing may be on one are still missing may be on one of the ships, which actually is believed to have sunk here. the court of appeal has been told the decision to revoke the so—called isis bride, shamima begum, of her british citizenship was unlawful. the 24 year old was a teenager when she travelled to syria in 2015 and was later deemed a risk to

national security . her lawyers national security. her lawyers say the home office failed to consider legal duties owed to her as a potential victim of trafficking or as a result of state failures in her case. the hearing, which started today, concludes on thursday . a man who concludes on thursday. a man who died after his car was swept away in water in aberdeenshire dunng away in water in aberdeenshire during storm babet has been named as peter pelling mean , named as peter pelling mean, while two women who died in a crash have also been named by police. they are cheryl woods and sara smith from caerphilly in wales. the mother and daughter were involved in a five vehicle collision on the m4 last friday. the met friday. meanwhile, the met office is warning of more bad weather to come with a yellow weather to come with a yellow weather in now for weather warning in place now for the england from the south—east of england from 6:00 tonight until 10:00 in the morning . you with gb news across morning. you with gb news across the uk on tv in your car , on the uk on tv in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news this is britain's news channel .

this is britain's news channel. well we start with the migrant crisis and the government is planning to stop housing migrants in expense of hotels and make them share and instead make them share rooms in cheap motels . rooms in cheap motels. >> the move is part designed to improve the conservative party's chancesin improve the conservative party's chances in key battleground areas. so places like wigan, like stoke, where anger at the government's decision to spend £8 million a day on housing illegal immigrants and failure to end the small boats crisis is particularly acute . some people particularly acute. some people say this is a shameless way of trying to secure votes at the next general election. other people would say it's about time that they actually did what people but joined people wanted. but i'm joined now of cap, alice now by the editor of cap, alice denby , and a stalwart of the denby, and a stalwart of the show that's right, immigration lawyer hojjat singh bhangal. fantastic to have you both on the show. alice, i will start with with you then. so do you think it's right for the government to say we're going to take them out of, say , 50 or so take them out of, say, 50 or so hotels, make them share more

rooms in places like motels , as rooms in places like motels, as i think it's exactly as you said. >> it's a combination of sort of fairly cynical electoral strategy. >> we know that the communities where these hotels are hate this i >> -- >> it may save a small amount of taxpayers money. >> it's £8 million a day. we're spending. so it's both a kind of , you know, a sensible decision for the public finances and also an electoral strategy at the same time . but ultimately, it's same time. but ultimately, it's just treating the symptom and not the cause of the problem until we can decide people's asylum applications more quickly or deport them, we're just going to have this backlog until the end of time. >> okay , andre, i'll throw it >> okay, andre, i'll throw it your way. i mean, are we about to have a flood of human rights cases where people can't possibly sleep? three to a room in a motel near a motonnay somewhere ? somewhere? >> no, i don't think so. i think before , even under the labour before, even under the labour government, they were housed in b&bs. >> i remember in 2002 and 2003 when i first started my legal career, there needs to be housed

in hotels in southend or b&bs , in hotels in southend or b&bs, so it will reduce the costs. >> but let's face it, i mean, it's solving a problem that they themselves created. >> so this government housed them in five star hotels , gave them in five star hotels, gave them in five star hotels, gave the hotels a contract , and now the hotels a contract, and now all of a sudden it's saying, oh, well, we've got a solution for this x years down the line. suddenly when a general election is come, week after is about to come, a week after they thrashing in the by they got a thrashing in the by elections and 24,000 majority was overturned in one of them. >> so the cynics , i think, are >> so the cynics, i think, are right to be cynical and a lot of people are right to say, well, it's about time that this happened. >> part of me would say, alice, that there's a little bit of a martha's vineyard moment to be had here. right. which is that you say a right as a you could say a right as a government, we're going to we're going to not have any migrant hotels conservative seats and hotels in conservative seats and we're going to put them all in seats belonging to parties who have a much softer stance when it comes to illegal immigration.

and maybe that is on a smaller scale what they're going to do. i think that is what they're planning to do. >> i think they are removing these migrants from hotels and constituency fees where they think they might win and perhaps constituency fees where they think less might win and perhaps constituency fees where they think less keent win and perhaps constituency fees where they think less keen to 'in and perhaps constituency fees where they think less keen to get nd perhaps constituency fees where they think less keen to get them rhaps constituency fees where they think less keen to get them outws being less keen to get them out of the hotels in places where they believe lost cause. they believe it's a lost cause. but as say, mean, i don't but as i say, i mean, i don't think voters are going to be fooled by i think think voters are going to be foole they by i think think voters are going to be foole they want by i think think voters are going to be foole they want to i think think voters are going to be foole they want to see i think think voters are going to be foole they want to see is think think voters are going to be foole they want to see is ,hink think voters are going to be foole they want to see is , you what they want to see is, you know, a properly controlled migration system and an end to these illegal channel crossings. yeah, i suppose that is the ultimate thing, isn't it? >> that they're >> hojjat, which is that they're saying that channel saying that the channel crossings reduced by 30, crossings have reduced by 30, which to be fair, is no mean feat . a lot of people were feat. a lot of people were saying until very recently , it's saying until very recently, it's going to be even worse than last year i know before people start year. i know before people start shouting tv screens, on shouting at their tv screens, on the the weather and the the radios, the weather and the wind little to do wind has had a little bit to do with entirely. with that. but not entirely. they a bit of credit. they do deserve a bit of credit. 30% down. no mean fee. i worry though hard that we approach 30% down. no mean fee. i worry thotelection,:hat we approach 30% down. no mean fee. i worry thotelection, he. we approach 30% down. no mean fee. i worry thotelection, he said,e approach 30% down. no mean fee. i worry thotelection, he said, i'myproach this election, he said, i'm going cut the backlog to going to cut the backlog to nothing. we're going to end nothing. we're just going to end up no, i think what's happening

>> no, i think what's happening is the backlog is not going down. >> removals are not going up. so what we've had removals at 60,000 under labour in 2009, gone down to enforce. >> why was it can i ask you about that? yeah. yeah. that's a great point. right. so why , why great point. right. so why, why were we able to remove so many people under a labour government and, and basically nobody now we had a lot of return agreements. >> we have a better system. the backlog was down, it was more streamlined and we had a fast track processing under the harmondsworth fast track scheme and it just seemed to harmondsworth fast track scheme and itjust seemed to be more and it just seemed to be more political will at the time. now it's just a matter of with a combination of brexit as well, removal of the dublin convention, we just don't have the will there. there's no one's really sort of getting down to the core roots of it. we've got people coming in. we don't seem to sending them back. also, people coming in. we don't seem to takininng them back. also, people coming in. we don't seem to taking a g them back. also, people coming in. we don't seem to taking a yearem back. also, people coming in. we don't seem to taking a year and ack. also, people coming in. we don't seem to taking a year and ak. also, people coming in. we don't seem to taking a year and a half,;o, it's taking a year and a half, two and a half years to make claims. >> yeah. and people develop rights in that. >> so it's not you know, it's the problem is the whole process

the problem is the whole process the home office has been broken by this government. it's not as effective as it was ten years ago, 15 years ago. and to be fair, it's just not fit for the purpose it's supposed to do . purpose it's supposed to do. >> and it's something i'm going to be talking about a bit later on. but it's directly relevant to this. the noises that to this. the noises are that emmanuel macron might ignore the echr start deporting more people, especially if they've got criminal records links to radical islam. et cetera. if he does that, i wonder whether or not that's just going to give us a of a green light to do a bit of a green light to do what we want to do regarding rwanda as well. do you rwanda as well. what do you reckon ? reckon? >> well, there's a chance >> well, there's also a chance it make things more it might make things more difficult it difficult for us because it might france much less might make france much less willing returns. willing to take returns. >> as your other guest >> and as as your other guest was saying, with these returns, agreements are really essential. i main reason why i think, one, a main reason why the numbers reduced so much the numbers have reduced so much is because we did agree a returns deal with albania . but returns deal with albania. but yeah, i mean, on the echr , i yeah, i mean, on the echr, i don't think we're ever going to really be able to get a grip of

this problem while we remain inside the echr. and i think that that moves that if rishi sunak serious about solving this problem, then he should consider running the election on a leave the echr platform . the echr platform. >> yeah, i'll stick with that, actually. alex, do you think that it's one thing that the latest round of news on migrant hotels, which is were slashing 50 of them which many people will think is not going to necessarily make the blind bit of do think of difference, but do you think that might do better to say, that he might do better to say, right, is this is an echr right, this is this is an echr for general election, this is this is what we're doing . this is what we're doing. >> i mean, i think that if he did that, he might have a chance of redrawing of of sort of redrawing some of those brexit battle lines that were effective for the were so effective for the conservative party 2019. conservative party in 2019. >> i do think that the echr >> and i do think that the echr is a big reason why asylum applications in this country take so long to decide why it's such a lengthy process where there's so many avenues of appeal. >> i also just think that it >> and i also just think that it would be to kind of finish the brexit project, frankly.

>> i mean, makes sense >> i mean, it makes no sense that we've left the eu, but we still court. still remain within its court. yeah, , it is odd. yeah, yeah, it is odd. >> i agree. it's weird. it is weird. and hodge up. yeah. just just over to you on this one then. when it comes to the actual applications, the speed of the applications being processed, this is massive processed, this is a massive issue. apparently the conservatives employed conservatives have now employed an people. i think an extra 1000 people. i think i'm right in maybe a bit i'm right in saying maybe a bit more to process these more than that to process these applications. that they applications. they say that they are them more labour are processing them more labour want an extra staff. top want an extra 1000 staff. on top of to process more of them . of that to process more of them. does this not ignore the bigger issue which is the impending problem of channel migrant homelessness that is going to come as we approve a lot of these people and shock , horror, these people and shock, horror, we have nowhere for them to live i >> yeah, i think even today there's been a row about it where apparently you're supposed to give them 28 days notice before kicking them out of hotels and someone's produced a letter. >> an mp labour mp, saying, well, actually her constituent got or someone that she knows

got or someone that she knows got seven days and therefore they're on the street, effectively we might end up with a lot of migrants on the street . a lot of migrants on the street. i mean, regarding the echr , i i mean, regarding the echr, i will say this, the echr has been around for a long time. the human rights act has been around since 2002. have been since 2002. lawyers have been around for a long time as well. yet despite of that, labour yet despite all of that, labour was sending back 60 50,000 a yean was sending back 60 50,000 a year. it's not as if the echr has now added more to that. >> do you think hardship that might be just a system that was in place? >> same avenues appeal? >> same avenues of appeal? >> same avenues of appeal? >> think that might >> and do you think that might job despite that there job despite that? is there a case to say that actually if case job to say that actually if the tories want to try and do something they do? i'm not saying they've got everything right. clearly right. i mean, they clearly haven't, by way. but if the haven't, by the way. but if the tories try and do tories want to try and do something, they face more resistance the resistance because they're the evil labour evil tories. whereas if labour wants to try to do something, especially blair, wants to try to do something, especi is.y blair, wants to try to do something, especiis.y era blair, wants to try to do something, especiis.y era you|ir, wants to try to do something, especiis.y era you were which is the era that you were talking about, our european friends would have more friends would have be more inclined with him . inclined to play ball with him. and it may be and dare i say, it may be the civil know, the civil servants and you know, the lefty lawyers . lefty lawyers. >> so that's to down how you manage your company. so if you're a good boss or not, if

jerusalem . multiple rockets jerusalem post. multiple rockets fired were intercepted fired from gaza were intercepted over tel aviv. we can cross now to tel aviv and speak with mark white. mark, thank you very much. security editor on the ground over there. so, mark, a veritable barrage of rockets . veritable barrage of rockets. >> yeah, and it's a worrying development because of course, in recent days there has been an upfickin in recent days there has been an uptick in the number of israeli airstrikes designed to degrade the capabilities of hamas to launch attacks into to israel. but it seems that there is no shortage of this deadly arsenal of rockets that hamas has . it's of rockets that hamas has. it's been widely reported now that this was the most significant recent barrage of rockets into central israel since those attacks on the 7th of october. in fact , it lawrence, who's in in fact, it lawrence, who's in charge of our security here, has been here for the past two weeks. and he's never seen so many alerts . 120 separate alerts

many alerts. 120 separate alerts , areas under alert that he saw on the security app that they have here in israel. so we dashed out to the centre, the shelter here as the barrage of rockets came over and the iron dome missile defence system was launched. we got some footage showing that interception of multiple rockets and we heard the sonic booms as as those missiles were going over the speed of sound , creating the speed of sound, creating the sonic booms and then also the explosions a short time later as they intercepted their rockets. now at least one rocket got through and hit a community in north eastern tel aviv and badly damaged a building. no word yet on any casualties, but this came on any casualties, but this came on any casualties, but this came on a day that israel was actually celebrating some good news for a change with the release of two elderly hostage charges after having been in

hamas custody for more than two weeks. i've been looking back at today's events . is under today's events. is under standardly dazed and confused . standardly dazed and confused. these two elderly hostages were handed over by hamas at the gaza—egypt border late last night, released the terror group say on humanitarian grounds . in say on humanitarian grounds. in the early hours, a military helicopter landed at this tel aviv medical centre with the two women doctors who examined them said they were in good condition despite their ordeal . later, despite their ordeal. later, yakov felt strong enough to face the cameras alongside her daughter, sharon, who lives in london. she said she wanted to give the israeli military as much information as possible about the tunnels she was held in. >> there are a huge , huge net >> there are a huge, huge net work of tunnels underneath. it looks like a spider web .

looks like a spider web. >> it is certainly a welcome development. but israeli sources say it's straight out of the hamas playbook. a delaying tactic that won't divert them from the task at hand. the air war and then ground offensive to destroy hamas . the toll on the destroy hamas. the toll on the many thousands of people still in northern gaza continues to grow with the hamas controlled health ministry claiming more than 5000 people have been killed here since the start of the . war in tel aviv. the french the. war in tel aviv. the french president is the latest world leader to arrive here meeting with the heads of the israeli government before a scheduled visit to the west bank and talks with the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas in the north of israel. the military struck more positions over the

border in southern lebanon overnight. claim they took out hezbollah terrorists are planning attacks on israeli communities and military installations in gaza . for most installations in gaza. for most people, there is nowhere to evacuate to. they are completely reliant on aid supplies crossing the border from egypt. more convoys are reaching the gaza strip , but it's just a trickle strip, but it's just a trickle in comparison to the hundreds of aid trucks that normally pass through this crossing . mark through this crossing. mark white gb news, tel aviv . well, white gb news, tel aviv. well, some important news on that visit by emmanuel macron. he has now met with the palestinian authority president , now met with the palestinian authority president, mahmoud abbas, across in the west bank. one of the few western leaders to do that. but emmanuel macron is looking to the future. he says he wants to try to examine a way fonnard after this

conflict is over . what happens conflict is over. what happens next to gaza if israel achieves its aim of removing removing hamas, does, then the palestinian authority move in and take control of that. any talk of peace now with the mounting death toll in gaza and with many of these rockets still coming over in signify vacant numbers into israel , i think numbers into israel, i think seems a long way off. >> yeah, indeed. mark, thank you very much. mark white there , our very much. mark white there, our homeland security editor from tel aviv. now loads more still to bring you. okay, so natwest staff wanted to, quote, throw a milkshake at nigel farage while some other workers boasted they'd driven him out of the country. well nigel striking back now he wants them suspended. so he will join us a little bit later on. so make sure you stay tuned for that. we will, of course, be having another chat about shamima begum as well. strong views either as well. strong views on either side this, whether or not she side of this, whether or not she should considered have her should be considered to have her citizenship and be citizenship reinstated and be brought to britain because ,

brought back to britain because, quote unquote, our quote unquote, she's our problem. is british. but is problem. she is british. but is she patrick christie's gb news britain's news channel .

&co & co weeknights . from . six & co weeknights. from. six >> welcome back. it is 528. you're watching or listening to me patrick christys on news. in a few minutes i'll be joined by nigel farage after it emerged that natwest staff wanted to

throw a milkshake at him with some workers boasting that they'd driven him out of the country . see, yesterday country. see, yesterday i brought you the news that rishi sunak's comments on the pro—palestine protest in london. the prime minister said that chanting is a threat to chanting jihad is a threat to british democracy and with incredible timing , isis bride incredible timing, isis bride shamima begum has today started her bid to overturn the decision to revoke her british citizenship. begum travelled to syria in 2015 at the age of 15, where, amongst other things , she where, amongst other things, she sowed isis bombers into suicide vests. now her legal team , who vests. now her legal team, who are working pro bono by the way, say the decision to strip her of her british citizenship was unlawful. i'm joined now firstly by the barrister and writer stephen barrett . stephen, thank stephen barrett. stephen, thank you very, very much . do you you very, very much. do you think that she should come back? i mean, legally , does the i mean, legally, does the government have a leg to stand on here? >> so what we need to do is to separate out what we mean by

when we say she should come back, because a lot of people have taken a moral or political position that she should come back and actually the law is in a bit of a mess on this. i think it's pretty fair to say that this is another area of law that has been thrown into a bit of chaos, a lot like the climate protesting was by the fact that the human rights act has has imposed a second legal system on top of our already existing legal system and caused a bit of chaos. so the law is uncertain , chaos. so the law is uncertain, eaten. it's gone to the court of appeal, which will clarify it. it will then hopefully this issue that doesn't have to be shamima, but this issue will at some point go to the supreme court and then we'll all know what the rules are . once we know what the rules are. once we know what the rules are. once we know what the rules are. once we know what the rules are . the what the rules are. the important thing is that they are appued important thing is that they are applied every time in a concise way to every case, because the people who morally want shamima begum returned or politically

want her returned , they often want her returned, they often they let their emotions get heightened and they call almost for the law to be to be to be bended , to bend the law. but you bended, to bend the law. but you can't bend the law. you can only break it. and that's a very important principle. break it. and that's a very important principle . and once important principle. and once these once these rules are known and clear , they should be and clear, they should be appued and clear, they should be applied in every single case in applied in every single case in a consistent way , because that's a consistent way, because that's what the rule of law is . and what the rule of law is. and it's more important than one person. >> stephen, just just quickly, if i may, because i'm going to talk to a chap shortly who actually made a series about shamima begum . so he's met her shamima begum. so he's met her and he's got kind of and he's got that kind of personal it. i come personal views on it. i come to you the law right. and the you for the law right. and the case defending her in case that is defending her in this is, i understand it doing it pro bono. so the cab rank rule doesn't apply here. they've not been forced into it. they're doing it of their own volition. it's a bit weird, isn't it? >> well, it's something that lawyers do a lot. they they are

entitled to do it like anything . entitled to do it like anything. it's important that it's done for the right reasons . and with for the right reasons. and with my fellow barristers, we have seen instances as now, and i think it's fair to say, mean it's a political statement. but very sadly, we have seen instances where they've allowed their personal feelings to get in the way. so we had one barrister who did something very, very wrong with the court judgement that barristers are simply not, not, not supposed to do you i'm sure that in this instance that's we're not necessarily approaching that barrier, but it's one to be very, very aware of . there are very, very aware of. there are limits on barristers and what we do and how actively political we can be and how we can allow our own personal morality party to influence our cases . now, the influence our cases. now, the other side of this, the immigration lawyers and the pubuc immigration lawyers and the public lawyers, have a very rightful criticism of me. they can very rightfully turn round and say, oh, stephen's a commercial lawyer. there's no

emotion in his cases. you know, it's very easy for him to sit there and tell us all how how we should be. and because of the type of law, do that, that is largely fair criticism, but largely a fair criticism, but it's still important that we all remember that barristers have a special position in our society. we are we are at the apex of the of the legal system. we are representative of justice and we must control our own emotions and our own politics. >> stephen, thank you very, very much. stephen barrett there is, of course, a barrister and writer . i'll be returning, like writer. i'll be returning, like i said to the shamima begum case with the chap who made a documentary about her podcast about her, who's met her to get his views on it. she's back in court again well, at court again today. well, at least representatives are. least her representatives are. but minutes i'll but in a couple of minutes i'll be by nigel farage as but in a couple of minutes i'll be afteryy nigel farage as but in a couple of minutes i'll be after emerged arage as but in a couple of minutes i'll be after emerged that) as but in a couple of minutes i'll be after emerged that natwest well. after emerged that natwest staff wanted to throw a milkshake over him they said staff wanted to throw a milksivery over him they said staff wanted to throw a milksivery nasty|im they said staff wanted to throw a milksivery nasty|im surely aid some very nasty things. surely that be right, can it? but that can't be right, can it? but now, as your headlines with polly . patrick, thank you.

woke culture, you know, inclusion and diversity . we were inclusion and diversity. we were all so lovely and very , very all so lovely and very, very nice and wonderful people unless of course you disagree with us and then we think you're utterly beastly. it is the illiberalism of those who believe themselves to have values . and you to have liberal values. and you can from these messages can see from these messages coming from many people that worked in head office that this was writ large across the organisation. so you've just read out some of the stuff that i revealed yesterday and tonight at 7:00 i'll be telling people what they had to say about my connections with russia. it is absolutely astonishing . one of absolutely astonishing. one of the biggest cases of fake news you've ever seen in your entire life. but they believed it. they believed it backed up by a journalist at an outlet of note. >> then there was a ted talk involved. then there was a netflix . netflix. >> well, there was, of course, the russia hoax that came from the guardian, a carole the guardian, from a carole cadwalladr was the name of the journalist a journalist who's now lost a libel action over this to arron

banks . but my case, it was banks. but my case, it was a front bencher, a front bencher for the labour party called sir chris bryant. >> that's not the bloke who's written book ethics, it? written a book on ethics, is it? >> the guy who says, >> that is the guy who says, when we make a mistake, must when we make a mistake, we must hold our hands it now turns hold our hands up. it now turns out the last day before out that on the last day before recess summer, he gave a recess in the summer, he gave a sort of half apology without mentioning me by name , thinking mentioning me by name, thinking he's got out of it. so this is a story tonight i'm going to tell you about. number one, how lies and fake news spreads and how it damages a person's reputation, how there are never any proper apologies, no recompense , hence, apologies, no recompense, hence, and how the mugs that worked at natwest chose to believe the worst case scenario. and one of the reasons i was de—banking is they believed i was funded by they believed i was funded by the russians. >> yeah. which is remarkable, really. but this kind of stuff has a much bigger impact on wider society as well because if this is if this is the attitude that exists within our corporate sector, if this is what you need to sail , think to fit in, then

to sail, think to fit in, then this is happening everywhere. and i'm sure get this. i get and i'm sure you get this. i get this. i had this just the other day the office chap day out outside the office chap came he works in the came up to me. he works in the arts. said he cannot say he arts. he said he cannot say he even arts. he said he cannot say he ever, ever what he thinks about politics, about about ideology, etcetera. about societal issues. because as he would be ostracised by his place of work and by his friend group. yeah >> and these firms sign up to a thing called core. it's an american organisation . you have american organisation. you have sort of various tick list of things must including things you must do, including employing 200% quotas of various minorities , 200% quotas. it's minorities, 200% quotas. it's unbelievable some of this stuff. and of course, if you question net zero, there's another reason why you should be sacked and ostracised or even debunked. but but i hope, patrick, what i'm doing and it's not just on my doing and it's notjust on my behalf , but doing and it's notjust on my behalf, but on behalf of the 1 million people, if her bank accounts closed over the last handful of years , that's people handful of years, that's people and businesses. is i've lifted a lid on this really very

poisonous culture that has gone through. you know, we almost expect it in whitehall , in the expect it in whitehall, in the pubuc expect it in whitehall, in the public sector. we hadn't quite expected it in the private sector , but natwest is a hybrid sector, but natwest is a hybrid because 38, 38.6% of it is owned by us. the taxpayer . and on by us. the taxpayer. and on thursday of this week they have their grand board meeting at which they will decide what alison rose's parting package is. seriously, it could be as much as £11.3 million. no yep. and of course, 40% of that will be coming from you and me, the taxpayer. and i'm going to i'm arguing very publicly that what she's done is put in place a poisonous culture that has discriminated against individuals like me and many others and has not aided the bank's profits or their ability to repay the taxpayer at all. she shouldn't, shouldn't, frankly be walking out with a penny. no >> okay. so. so she shouldn't receive anything? well, no. >> she broke every basic rule in banking and she breached client confidentiality . she told an

confidentiality. she told an outright lie to the bbc, which they put out there. and i then had to go out and disprove not uneasy thing to do in life. no. why should she get anything? >> yeah, indeed . i'm one of the >> yeah, indeed. i'm one of the things that they were laughing aboutin things that they were laughing about in these notes that about in these notes is that they people will they thought, oh, people will think yeah, people think he's broke. yeah, people think he's broke. yeah, people think this is think he's broke. and this is something stops people. something that stops people. i don't it nearly something that stops people. i don'iyou it nearly something that stops people. i don'iyou coming it nearly something that stops people. i don'iyou coming outt nearly something that stops people. i don'iyou coming outt nthisr stop you coming out in this because public because because the public perception of it all is hard work. admitting can be embarrassing, admitting the embarrassing, admitting to the world is a very difficult de—banking is a very difficult thing and that part of the thing and that was part of the natwest calculation . natwest calculation. >> i come out as >> you know, would i come out as it i come out? a it were, when i did come out? a lot other people came out as lot of other people came out as well. led charge this. >> yeah, yeah, yeah , exactly. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. i know collect know someone's going to collect that, i think. butjust lastly , that, i think. but just lastly, very lastly, do you want very lastly, what do you want done to the people who were making comments n atwest? >> it natwest? >> it isn't just a case of >> well, it isn't just a case of alison rose. i mean, it seems to me you're working me that if you're working for an organisation making organisation and you're making highly abusive comments about your customer , as you should be your customer, as you should be suspended pending an investigation , i think the whole investigation, i think the whole thing completely thing is completely unacceptable. people were

unacceptable. these people were out of control and if i hadn't brought it to light, that had gone nigel, thank gone on doing so. nigel, thank you very much. >> nigel sure you >> nigel farage make sure you tune because you're tune in at seven because you're going revealing quite going to be revealing quite a lot, aren't you, really? absolutely right. lot, aren't you, really? absolifarage, right. lot, aren't you, really? absolifarage, the right. lot, aren't you, really? absolifarage, the riwhimself , nigel farage, the man himself, live at seven. know to where live at seven. you know to where be, and it's right here at gb news. you oh, there we news. but you know. oh, there we go. you know how go. right. so, you know how we can't migrants to rwanda can't fly migrants to rwanda because of the echr? yes. well now that the french now it turns out that the french could just chuck migrants out of the they the country if they think they're threat national they're a threat to national security before echr even security. before the echr even hears their case. as emmanuel macron manned up. will we do the same ? will this actually be good same? will this actually be good for news britain? patrick christys gb news britain's news

on gb news, the people's channel . on >> welcome back kwasi to six. you're watching or listening to me? patrick christys on gb news. now, we didn't send migrants to rwanda a ruling rwanda yet because of a ruling by the echr r the european court of rights . but it seems of human rights. but it seems that things differently that they do things differently in france. macron is in france. emmanuel macron is geanng in france. emmanuel macron is gearing up to break european human rights laws as part of a bid expel danger. s. human rights laws as part of a bid expel danger . s. they say bid to expel danger. s. they say migrants from france. the plans migrant s from france. the plans would see france pay a fine if they found to have violated the european convention on human rights, but they wouldn't accept the people back into the country. basically they pay country. so basically they pay them essentially , we them to leave essentially, we can go live to paris now, speak to journalist peter allen . peter to journalist peter allen. peter thank you very much. great to

have you on the show. we will be going to paris very, very shortly. there we go. time delay. you see you're an hour ahead. so do you ahead. but anyway, so do you think then that this will actually get off the ground for want of a better phrase, or is this just hot air? well emmanuel macron really just ignore the echr. i will be brutally honest here. >> patrick. i think it's all hot air and i don't think it will get off the ground at all. >> the first thing to say is that it has very little to do with macron . he's with emmanuel macron. he's currently middle east currently in the middle east trying to bring peace in the israel—palestine conflict , which israel—palestine conflict, which is the kind of grand issue he enjoys doing and domestic issues he often leads to his lieutenants, in this case, he's left this issue to his very tough talking in interior minister gerald darmanin and mr darmanin is speaking in the wake of yet another horrendous terrorist attack, less than two weeks ago. a young man , 22 years weeks ago. a young man, 22 years old, walked into a school in

arras in northern france and slit the throat of a teacher there and killed him. of course , there and killed him. of course, a widespread disgust and anger across the land. gerald darmanin has to be seen to be doing something. so it's his bill. it's his bill. it's not it's not actually a government bill. he's saying effectively that that the french republic should be allowed to do a lot more to, first of all, lock up dangerous people. and if they turn out to be foreigners, deport them. in the case of this terrible terrorist attack, the attacker turned out to be a foreigner. he was a russian passport holder . was a russian passport holder. about three years ago, somebody carried out a very similar attack in the suburbs of paris, decapitated a teacher. he, too, turned out to be a russian passport holder. in that case, he was shot dead. so there's no question of deporting him . what question of deporting him. what gerald darmanin is suggesting is that he can stop the european

court of human rights. that he can stop the european court of human rights . who knows court of human rights. who knows exactly what he's trying to do . exactly what he's trying to do. he doesn't even mention the french judiciary. there's a very, very strict separation of powers here. if the interior minister says, look , that's minister says, look, that's person looks dangerous in both these cases , they both look these cases, they both look dangerous. both the assailant early on to the french republic , early on to the french republic, deport them. no, of course, it didn't . but it had the power to. didn't. but it had the power to. of course it had the power to ten years ago. so the character responsible for the latest atrocity, he was faced with a deportation order as a child . deportation order as a child. but they decided just to deport his parents. they didn't actually deport him. there's all kinds of legal challenges to any effort to try and deport somebody , and that will just somebody, and that will just carry on. patrick it's pie in the sky. they won't be able to do this. >> yeah, well, it's fascinating because i think it would have had a knock on impact had a massive knock on impact with us over here in light of our at moment with our battles at the moment with the the rwanda the echr, with the rwanda flights, etcetera . i it

flights, etcetera. i mean, it would paved way. what would have paved the way. what is the i mean, the french government just quickly, government just just quickly, peter, what is their general attitude do attitude toward the echr? do they as though they have to they feel as though they have to abide by all the time? i mean, we were we were over we were we were hearing over here stick here that we actually stick to it a lot more than of the it a lot more than most of the countries. it's countries. apparently it's extremely towards echr, extremely positive towards echr, france is a founding father of europe, germany and france . europe, germany and france. >> they were the founders of the european project . and of course, european project. and of course, echr works outside the european union. but it's all part of the same thing. it's the family of nafions same thing. it's the family of nations all working together . in nations all working together. in this far as legal this case, as far as legal issues are concerned, emmanuel macron is a massive europhile. he sees himself as a leader of europe since , you know, the europe since, you know, the germans as giving up, gave up being the since angela merkel has left . so, yes, of course you has left. so, yes, of course you know how much he's fines are. patrick, if you ignore the echr ,3,000. this is the thing. patrick, if you ignore the echr ,3,000. tthing.the thing. patrick, if you ignore the echr ,3,000. tthing.the tcost. >> this is the thing. the cost of you know, yeah, exactly of you know, it's. yeah, exactly

, exactly. but look, peter, thank you very, very much . great , exactly. but look, peter, th.haveou very, very much . great , exactly. but look, peter, th.have you ery, very much . great , exactly. but look, peter, th.have you on very much . great , exactly. but look, peter, th.have you on they much . great , exactly. but look, peter, th.have you on the show.1 . great , exactly. but look, peter, th.have you on the show. really rt to have you on the show. really fascinating stuff. i'd love to talk very soon. talk to you again very soon. peter paris, just peter allen there in paris, just reacting to that £3,000. when you consider the amount of money it's costing for in it's costing for people in hotels. anyway, let's get hotels. but anyway, let's get more begum. the more now on shamima begum. the isis started her isis bride, as today started her bid to overturn the decision to revoke her british citizenship. joining now is journalist and joining me now is journalist and documentary producer alan duncan. ali alan, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. and what do you think about you that about this? do you think that shamima victim that shamima begum is a victim that should back into should be allowed back into britain or not? i think i can guess there is not one of them thatis guess there is not one of them that is a victim , but they are that is a victim, but they are all playing the victim card because they lost it. >> is that simple. i've interviewed countless and i can actually tell you where the victimhood came from. begum it came from a woman called , uh, came from a woman called, uh, kimberly pullman , who's now kimberly pullman, who's now repatriated back to canada , but repatriated back to canada, but she was basically coaching begum

and giving it your victim and all this bull. >> but there's not one of them thatis >> but there's not one of them that is a victim. >> the only victims across there are the yazidi women and children who her mate was selling, by the way . um, the selling, by the way. um, the there is not one isis bride. there is a victim . but they all there is a victim. but they all like to play on that. they're the victims which you have seen in palestine at the moment as well. so. >> so you you've made documentaries, have you, about the shamima situation, is that right ? right? >> yeah, i've interviewed heaps of the westerners, female males, the yazidi victims. in fact, we actually there's something coming out that, um, on a yazidi we actually rescued from isis . we actually rescued from isis. but i've also been interviewed and, you know, the yazidis who were held by these women, you know, by the likes of saddam's friend and stuff like that. so i'm getting it not only from the

isis, but i'm getting it from the actual victims, which everybody seems to be forgetting , and nobody's paying attention to the witnesses who actual witnesses who are the actual yazidi women and children, sex slaves of begum and her friends . slaves of begum and her friends. >> do you think that shamima begum would pose a threat on the streets of britain, or is it more of a moral thing for you ? more of a moral thing for you? >> i believe that it her personally. >> i think she'd be very much a poster girl. but bear in mind , poster girl. but bear in mind, this isn't only about shamima begum. this is about every single one of them. she wins it. every single one of them will then end up because the president will have been set ever . every single isis bride president will have been set ever. every single isis bride . ever. every single isis bride. and then it will be the men on top of that to follow. so the threat is a lot bigger than just begum herself if it's around the whole case. she's just the poster girl . and, you know, we poster girl. and, you know, we all can't stand her but can't stand any of them. you know, they're all but the thing is,

this is bigger than begum . this this is bigger than begum. this is about every single one of them. patrick that's the people are missing that. yeah but who's paying for this? well who is paying for this? well who is paying for this? well apparently. >> apparently she's currently getting the use is pro bono of a king's councillor. i think in the past, in the past she has received legal aid. i must admit. i share your sentiments there at being quite squiffy as to exactly why somebody would want to take such a vested interest in shamima begum at the moment . but there we go. alan, moment. but there we go. alan, we're going to have to leave it there, my good man. but thank you talk to you very much. i will talk to you very much. i will talk to you if that's okay, you again soon, if that's okay, because is a three because this is a three day trial. i. alan there trial. so i. alan duncan there journalist documentary producer. you had a lot of you know, i had a lot of interaction isis interaction with both the isis bndes interaction with both the isis brides and the jihadis that went over western jihadis that went over western jihadis that went over and also their victims as well. i think well placed over and also their victims as well. to i think well placed over and also their victims as well. to say nk well placed over and also their victims as well. to say whetherplaced over and also their victims as well. to say whether or|ced over and also their victims as well. to say whether or not really to say whether or not shamima begum is indeed anybody who be allowed to return who should be allowed to return to britain. but thank you very
