9:06 pm
the holy land . the holy land. >> it is a duty upon the muslim leaders to fulfil the command of jihad . they must carry out jihad. they must carry out military action. >> the armies of the muslim countries . countries. >> you must help on this military task and defend the holy land . holy land. >> i can't be the only one wondering how common it is that things like that are said behind closed doors. we shall never surrender , he said. yes, well, surrender, he said. yes, well, we have people not only tearing down posters of missing, kidnapped jewish children, but actually in some cases drawing hitler moustaches and horns on them . can you imagine what the them. can you imagine what the man who masterminded the defence of britain would be thinking right now? what was the point of the battle of britain if sending young men over the top or landing them on the beaches of normandy to fight an evil that hated jews, only to allow some people with very similar views to freely wander into britain a few decades later , for i cannot few decades later, for i cannot imagine that winston churchill
9:07 pm
would have been content with serving metropolitan police officers standing idly by as hordes of men chant about jihad and near banners of muslim armies . i cannot imagine that armies. i cannot imagine that churchill would have watched on quietly as tens of thousands of young men arrived on our southern coastline in boats. i cannot imagine that churchill would have been content for taxpayers to make a man a multi—millionaire for providing emergency accommodation to new arrivals as opposed to homeless brits . as they put the brits. as they put the barricades around the cenotaph memorial to our fallen heroes to a group of angry youngsters can scream and shout to their heart's content. it is easy to feel like britain itself is under siege. we forget very quickly in this country the sacrifices of those who've gone before us. we forget what they fought for . we have people who fought for. we have people who have never known a real threat, never known a real enemy, never known the kind of hardship and sacrifice that the generations before them had to overcome . before them had to overcome. these people do not seem to
9:08 pm
understand that the only reason they can spray orange paint on stuff if they just stop oil or wave a foreign country's flag on demonstrations on our streets, pray freely in the street. actually is because people british people fought and died for their right to do so. churchill said that we shall fight them on the beaches and now our prime minister has to fight them on the pronouns part of me quite wants to resurrect winston churchill and present him with a screaming blue and pink haired, non—binary, furry , pink haired, non—binary, furry, crying about having to work a 9 to 5 job. but i wouldn't want to do that to the big guy. i think he'd wonder what was all for. he'd wonder what it was all for. don't you? well, to paraphrase churchill, that churchill, he said that never before has so much been owed by so many to so few. but try to remember this in today's context , okay? if you think that britain is great, that we have something worth protecting and that there are wrongs taking place in our society right now that need correcting and a direction of travel that needs changing. it's time to make sure
9:09 pm
that the very vocal few don't destroy this great nation for the many. but let's get the thoughts of my panel, author and broadcaster christine hamilton. we've got businessman and activist adam brooks and former labour party adviser matthew laws. christine, i will start with you. do you think that winston churchill will be turning in his grave today? well he would, but so would a hell of a lot of other people as you've just said, all those people who fought and died in the trenches in first world war, never in the first world war, never mind the second world war, people father, who people like my father, who fought in second world war, fought in the second world war, what the what did they achieve in the long mean, it's it beggars >> i mean, it's it beggars belief the way country has belief the way this country has gone hill. of course, he gone down hill. of course, he would horrified. you would be horrified. and, you know, people talk about the echr and we should come out of the echr of course we should come out echr was drawn out of the echr that was drawn up in the wake of the second world war to make sure that we never again had hitler's and mussolini knees to make sure that in other countries
9:10 pm
that people in other countries brought their standards up to our it wasn't that we our country. it wasn't that we needed keeping in line. we didn't . it needed keeping in line. we didn't. it was needed keeping in line. we didn't . it was other countries didn't. it was other countries who course, he'd be who did. of course, he'd be turning in his grave. it's absolutely it is absolutely appalling. and it is only going to get worse by 2050. it's estimated that we'll have about muslims in this about 13 plus muslims in this country. now, some of them are very law abiding. obviously, they are. et cetera. et cetera. >> it's the radical element. which which which radical? which i understand. does that understand. and that does that does on, by the way. does bring me on, by the way. that does bring me on to another issue. we're going to talking issue. we're going to be talking about later, which is about a bit later, which is about a bit later, which is about integration okay? about integration. okay? it's about integration. okay? it's about it's about about integration and it's about whether not we are this whether or not we are this cohesive society that would cohesive society that we would claim to be again , it is simply claim to be again, it is simply about radical elements that don't fit in, not a broader picture, but i'll bring you in on this . really. you know, i on this. really. you know, i look at clips, for example, of keir starmer going into a mosque or pictures of it and you know, there being a bit of a fallout from there. i mean, the standout thing for me was that there was an there who doesn't speak an imam there who doesn't speak any english, apparently, and
9:11 pm
didn't leader the didn't know the leader of the opposition so i don't opposition was. and so i don't know how that that that know how uncommon that that that really and i thought that really is. and i thought that was potentially a sign that integration is not necessarily working that well. >> yeah , i'm one that i would >> yeah, i'm one that i would like to see all sort of faiths and types of people in this country. but we must all abide by the laws . and hopefully if by the laws. and hopefully if i move to another country , i would move to another country, i would want to fit in and sort of assimilate with everyone and their cultures. unfortunately, there are a few in different communities that don't want that and they want to create their own communities within the uk and it will be a problem. you know, it will be a problem down the reason, the reason, matthew, why i'm leading in on this is because over the course of this show, we're going to be picking apart variety different apart a variety of different aspects going on today aspects that are going on today and some to date and some some bang up to date news, especially when we the news, especially when we do the papers the hour. papers in the next hour. >> but there does feel to me, matthew, as though quite matthew, as though there's quite a wrong at the moment. a bit wrong at the moment. there's a febrile
9:12 pm
there's quite a febrile atmosphere taking and atmosphere for taking place and it think as i saw it did make me think as i saw those barricades going up around the cenotaph, around where we have to our war have that memorial to our war dead. churchill would have dead. what churchill would have made you think? >> well, i think it'd be very disappointing, that that disappointing, covid that that we things. but we have to do such things. but i think he would also be pleased that we were still a beacon of freedom in the world, which we most are. mean, most certainly are. i mean, that's the those like, like that's what the those like, like your grandfather and others and the millions of others who gave their for. so of course , their lives for. so of course, yes, you're right. the country is not in a happy place at the moment, i'm glad that we are moment, but i'm glad that we are still open society. still a free and open society. >> . >> okay. >> okay. >> a bit too free and open in certain regards. >> a bit too free and open in cen but regards. >> a bit too free and open in cen but there is. >> a bit too free and open in cen but there were think >> but there were i think churchill would never have stood for thousands of for tens of thousands of undocumented, mass . of undocumented, unchecked mass. of course whatever religion, course not. whatever religion, whatever they whatever culture they are flooding into our country, you know, unchecked , that and know, unchecked, that and without accommodate asian or whatever, he would not have stood for that at all. >> well, he wouldn't have stood for demonstration after demonstration. and apparently there's another one there's going to be another one this weekend.
9:13 pm
>> to be one, i'm >> there's going to be one, i'm convinced. i'm completely convinced. i'm completely convinced on convinced it's going to be on every weekend, i suspect every single weekend, i suspect for until until it stops . for until until it stops. >> yeah. yeah. i mean , look, i >> yeah. yeah. i mean, look, i mean, i think on the demonstrations, i think that the people were organising the people who were organising the demonstrations should realise that doing they that they're doing what they perceive cause perceive as their cause a disservice because certainly we you don't win the hearts and minds of the british people by protesting using the cenotaph as a platform or not being seen to respect our national institutions. >> controversial view , very >> controversial view, very controversial view. and everybody at home or if you're listening in your car or whatever you're doing, don't start shouting at your tv screens sets just screens or your radio sets just yet. there a case to be said yet. is there a case to be said that shouldn't have that we shouldn't have barricaded cenotaph ? you let barricaded the cenotaph? you let some people spray of some people spray a bit of graffiti or something like that to the kind of to really highlight the kind of individual there is out individual that there is out there. because i think they there. no because i think they did enough. there. no because i think they did itiough. there. no because i think they did it exactly. >> it exactly. >> it exactly. >> sacred. sacred. >> it's sacred. sacred. i wouldn't want the glorious dead . wouldn't want the glorious dead. >> it's our memorial. it's our british memorial to the people who the world wars. and who died in the world wars. and it not for them to desecrate

9:21 pm

9:22 pm
carol's ranting back. and before you we've two you know it, we've got two schoolgirls aplayground schoolgirls in a playground having argument, and all having a big argument, and all the of in the middle the rest of us are in the middle of it. so it's a difficult one. patrick, to be fair, what does carol vorderman bring to our armed forces? carol vorderman bring to our arrrwhat's es? carol vorderman bring to our arrrwhat'ses? point? carol vorderman bring to our arrrwell, ses? point? carol vorderman bring to our arrrwell, she's point? carol vorderman bring to our arrrwell, she's an nt? carol vorderman bring to our arrrwell, she's an honorary group >> well, she's an honorary group captain, are, i think captain, so there are, i think in royal force about 29. in the royal air force about 29. there's a significant there's quite a significant amount. whereas in the navy and the there's about the army, there's only about 3 or so what happens with or 4. so what happens with honorary group captains is they're there bring some they're there to bring some element something that the element of something that the service have. service probably doesn't have. and celebrity, and carol has celebrity, of course. obviously course. and obviously she's a math know that. math genius. we all know that. and i think if we go back a couple of years, it was all working quite well. butjust recently, i think a anti—govt rhetoric, shall has been rhetoric, shall we say, has been hitting the headlines more than, say the skill set that she say, the skill set that she would othennise bring to the military. >> yeah, i there are some >> yeah, i mean, there are some examples using turns examples of using vile turns of phrase about conservatives in general , and i just don't really general, and i just don't really think that's on. i mean, the raf is there to serve king and country. previously queen and country, no matter who's calling on you to do what. and once you
9:23 pm
do delve full frontal into the world of the overtly political, i think you lose the ability to just to just be that kind of ambassador, don't you ? ambassador, don't you? >> well, yeah. i mean, you've got chris hoy, of course, and you've got bruce dickinson. you've got some other people there. of course, you don't hear much about. i mean, they are pretty much impartial. that's the and that's the thing, isn't it? and that's what like. but of course what you'd like. but of course you're mixing of you're mixing a lot of celebrity, aren't you, with carol? and of course, mean, carol? and of course, i mean, the thing is the really strange thing here is carol woman in her 60s. carol is a woman in her 60s. felicity's a woman her 40s. felicity's a woman in her 40s. and a lot they could and there's a lot they could probably from each probably both learn from each other and they could probably get very well. i think, get on very well. i think, unfortunately. other unfortunately. um, the other thing to take into thing we've got to take into account patrick, is that account here, patrick, is that carol does represent the air cadets. this is cadets. and i think this is something need to really something that we need to really talk more about, about what's happened cadets talk more about, about what's happeair cadets talk more about, about what's happeair commodore adets talk more about, about what's happeair commodore tony; talk more about, about what's happeair commodore tony keeling under air commodore tony keeling and the that he's bought dni and the way that he's bought dni into cadets. and i don't into the air cadets. and i don't think really looking at think we're really looking at that. whole organisation, that. the whole organisation, she does represent it. she is a role to young women and role model to young women and sometimes the way that
9:24 pm
sometimes i think the way that maybe don't to be maybe and i don't want to be that i'm going to say it that guy, i'm going to say it the way she maybe dresses the way that she maybe dresses in front of, say, the top gun, the gun premiere would the top gun premiere would arguably conducive to , arguably not be conducive to, say, a young woman looking at how a how to present herself in a professional military capacity. that's more that's you'd be a bit more specific yeah. of specific than that. yeah. so of course you've got this thing, haven't you, where, know, haven't you, where, you know, carol is a great figure at her age especially, and we all love that, get me wrong. that, don't get me wrong. i mean, we love what she's doing for everything that she's gone through. i say through. and this is why i say national when you national treasure. but when you have the flight suit, that's unzipped here and course, you unzipped here and of course, you know, the sunglasses know, we've got the sunglasses lowered a classic lowered and it's quite a classic picture. all it. picture. we've all seen it. i just sometimes that young just worry sometimes that young women to get women think that maybe to get ahead the military, which is ahead in the military, which is purely a meritocratic organisation, you know, a hierarchy, basically, better hierarchy, basically, the better you are, you know, the better you are, the higher you'll go. it's the higher your you'll go. it's just how it is. and just is how it is. and unfortunately, sometimes think unfortunately, sometimes i think that look, which might unfortunately, sometimes i think thethe look, which might unfortunately, sometimes i think thethe showbizik, which might unfortunately, sometimes i think thethe showbiz look,ich might unfortunately, sometimes i think thethe showbiz look, shallight unfortunately, sometimes i think thethe showbiz look, shall we. be the showbiz look, shall we call it, can maybe sort of get into the mindset of young women and make them that and maybe make them think that they've sort of dress in
9:25 pm

9:35 pm
thursdays from six till 930 . thursdays from six till 930. >> well, comedy legend jim davidson is coming up, but it's time now for the real world with lee anderson, who you just heard . now, lee, you were out this 1922 committee hearing . so this 1922 committee hearing. so this is the backbench tory mps . okay. is the backbench tory mps. okay. now, they were with bbc director general tim davie today . he was general tim davie today. he was taken to task over, amongst other things, the broadcast of israel coverage, in particular, this bizarre refusal that we've got to brand hamas terrorists. i wanted to get your thoughts on this, but before we do, lee, i'll just hear from your colleague a fired up jonathan gullace. he spoke exclusively to our political editor,
9:36 pm
christopher hope , right after christopher hope, right after this meeting. watch and listen. jonathan gallows, you were there at this meeting with the director general, tim davie of the bbc. >> what was said ? >> what was said? >> what was said? >> well, i think a lot of us were left flabbergasted. what shocked me more than anything was the director general all argued back with colleagues and said that he would not agree with describing hamas as terrorists because he was worried about how it might hurt the feelings of some people. now, to me , this is mind now, to me, this is mind boggling. everyone knows that hamas is a terrorist organisation. it's a proscribed terrorist organisation here in this country. every other news agency like the great gb news also considers this to be a terrorist organisation. ian even the palestinian authority or the plo understand that hamas are not representing the palestinian people and are a terrorist organisation. on earth organisation. so what on earth the director general thinks is going on? don't know. but he going on? i don't know. but he is far out of touch with the is so far out of touch with the people of this great country, and particularly the jewish community, but community, not just here but around world. he's brought around the world. he's brought shame this institution and
9:37 pm
around the world. he's brought sharmade this institution and around the world. he's brought sharmade the1is institution and around the world. he's brought sharmade the case. stitution and around the world. he's brought sharmade the case. whyion and around the world. he's brought sharmade the case. why now nd around the world. he's brought sharmade the case. why now more has made the case. why now more than british taxpayer than ever, the british taxpayer shouldn't have to continue paying shouldn't have to continue paying tax robert paying the telly tax robert jenrick trust within jenrick said that trust within the jewish community as all the jewish community as an all time low the bbc. now, time low within the bbc. now, because of this idea of not describing hamas terrorist. describing hamas a terrorist. stephen raising stephen crowd rightly raising that into the that the bbc jumping into the gun and putting on their website that it was israel who allegedly attacked hospital gaza attacked the hospital in gaza when never when actually that was never that information from the that was information from the hamas health ministry. know, hamas health ministry. you know, these example these flabbergasting example after while the director after example while the director general just seemed to keep saying that we need to do better, well, need to do better is not good enough. when the national broadcaster of our nafion national broadcaster of our nation brought upon nation has brought shame upon our made jewish our nation and made jewish people particular unsafe people in particular feel unsafe in the country that they live in, the bbc wants go in, the bbc wants to go a certain editorial way , then so certain editorial way, then so be but personally believe be it. but i personally believe it's whilst the bbc it's now time whilst the bbc is still funded taxpayer, still funded by the taxpayer, that an independent that we have an independent review into the editorial news process of the bbc. obviously people fact that people did respect the fact that he actually turned up, he even had actually turned up, but to say it was a tone but i'm sad to say it was a tone deaf response to the questions that were put to him.
9:38 pm
>> well lee joins me in >> right. well lee joins me in the studio right now and tim davie did offer one apology for the bbc's misreporting of that gaza hospital. i believe you weren't happy with the answers that he offered for you. >> well, you know, it was a private meeting, patrick, but what i will say is that jonathan galassi is spot on with the conclusion of the meeting. >> i came out early. i listened to him for about 5 or 6 minutes. i'd had enough. it was quite clear for me that it had not come to hold his hands up. you know, i think it's been shameful over the past 2 or 3 weeks. what's happened, the refusal of the bbc to label hamas as a terrorist organisation , it seems terrorist organisation, it seems very one sided. it seems very biased. it seems impartial, and there's not much more to add from what my colleague jonathan said. and he was he was hopping mad and i was just, you know, beyond mad. i've had a big beef
9:39 pm
with this, this chap, this davie chap since he got the job. you know, when he first started, he actually said that equality and diversity was mission critical in the bbc. that was his big project. so i look back over the past 70 years, we've always had a white, middle aged man in charge of the bbc. so i wrote to him and told him to resign and give it to somebody of a different colour skin. yeah, i'm still waiting response. still waiting for a response. >> i imagine you'll be >> yeah. i imagine you'll be waiting a long time, actually. there go. bbc there we go. but a bbc spokesperson to us our spokesperson has said to us our starting point is always impartiality and we take that incredibly seriously amongst incredibly seriously in amongst thousands of hours of news broadcasting, there always broadcasting, there will always be we do get be some errors where we do get things always hold up things wrong. we always hold up our , as did this week our hands, as we did this week when one of our respondents was wrong to speculate along with others cause of the al others about the cause of the al ahli hospital explosion . right. ahli hospital explosion. right. okay. lee other stories are in town. migrant hotels, they're finally about to close. apparently after the immigration minister, robert jenrick, announced that the first 50 contracts would, quote, be

letting them in in the first place? is beyond me. i agree with the. the great lee anderson stick them in some tent somewhere. but as for him, look, maybe all these immigrants that are coming here, these are coming over here, these migrants or whatever they are , migrants or whatever they are, they're going to learn from this man that it is possible to make lots of money if you lots and lots of money if you work just sit on your work hard, not just sit on your backside with your hand out, waiting to take, take, take. have a look at this, man. i'm i'm i keep your money, mr king. that's it. you buy a week. >> oh, with you. by the way, this guy, i think arguably demonstrates like the best vision of british entrepreneurial spirit that you could possibly think this guy started as far as i can tell, started as far as i can tell, started with a knackered caravan park and a disco . right. and now park and a disco. right. and now he's added 6 million a year. he's because somebody's stupid enough to pay it to him. ultimately unfortunately, jim, it is the taxpayer who is paying it is the taxpayer who is paying it for him and it is the home office or or pen pushers who have decided that we have to be stupid enough in order to let
9:54 pm
that happen. don't think that happen. but i don't think it's fault. his it's not this guy's fault. his daughter, jim, goes daughter, apparently jim, goes to 400 £0 year boarding to a 40 400 £0 a year boarding school sells art, saying school and sells art, saying deport racists, not refugees. i mean, she which side of mean, she knows which side of her doesn't she? her bread's better, doesn't she? >> yeah, she does. yes, she does. you worry about does. don't you worry about that. good luck to the that. well, good luck to the bloke you let's hope that bloke. you know, let's hope that we put many we don't have to put too many more up, know , why doesn't more up, you know, why doesn't he over and open the place in he go over and open the place in france, know, have word france, you know, have a word with french, even get a few with the french, even get a few euros of and build euros off of them and build a nice big sort of caravan park on the beach. do them the world euro camp. >> i went to one them when i >> i went to one of them when i was younger. look, as well, was younger. look, jim as well, we're to talk a bit about we're going to talk a bit about comedy legend, legend comedy legend, a comedy legend that comedy that that needed another comedy legend. maybe take them legend. you to maybe take them down a two. jack down a peg or two. jack whitehall, he's called on pregnant to take part pregnant women to take part in his in a post his upcoming show. but in a post on axe, he's referred to them as pregnant what do you pregnant people. what do you make that, jim? well it's not make of that, jim? well it's not like to be funny, it? like him to be funny, is it? >> so that's probably his best little stab at comedy. >> so that's probably his best little st awfulat comedy. >> so that's probably his best little st awful woke1edy. >> so that's probably his best little st awful woke .>dy. >> so that's probably his best little st awful woke . iiy. >> so that's probably his best little st awful woke . i don't there's awful woke. i don't know. they should be nicked

10:02 pm
country. every other news agency like the great gb news, also considers this to be a terrorist organisation, while on earth the director general thinks is going on. i don't know. but he is so far out of touch with the people of this great country, and particularly the jewish community. not just here but around he's brought around the world. he's brought shame this institution shame upon this institution and has case. now more has made the case. why now more than the british taxpayer than ever, the british taxpayer should continue should not have to continue paying should not have to continue paying the tax. paying the telly tax. >> well, bringing you up to date with israel tonight, with events in israel tonight, sirens have been sounding in tel aviv after a barrage of hamas rockets targeted the city. gb news team on the ground filmed as israel's iron dome missile defence system tracked a number of incoming rockets. a short time aftennards , one defence time aftennards, one defence system missile was launched . an system missile was launched. an explosion was seen in the southern outskirts of the city. the authorities have confirmed four people suffered minor injuries when the rocket landed. israel has reportedly agreed to delay though, its ground invasion into gaza to allow the

10:07 pm
resigning over his gaza comments. a senior labour source has told the newspaper there is a real concern that if we lost a shadow minister, for example , shadow minister, for example, all all of the others come under real pressure, presumably some kind of domino effect there. the party has been in uproar after starmer apparently supported israel's decision to block power and water from civilians in gaza. a bit of context . here's gaza. a bit of context. here's what he said a fortnight ago . what he said a fortnight ago. >> i'm very clear. israel must have that does have that right to defend herself and hamas bears response ability. >> a siege is appropriate. cutting off power , cutting off cutting off power, cutting off water secure. >> i think that israel does have that right. it is an ongoing situation . situation. >> okay. interesting that's what he said a fortnight ago. well, since then, in at least 23 councils have resigned from the labour party. a further 150 have written to the labour leader demand that he call for a ceasefire in gaza. meanwhile, the south wales islamic centre.
10:08 pm
believe it or not, has blasted sir care for quote gravely misread presenting a recent meeting with them . this, by the meeting with them. this, by the way, is absolutely hilarious . way, is absolutely hilarious. this until you scratch the surface a little bit and you realise that it's actually really depressing about the state of this country. but he's apologised for the hurt and confusion caused to the muslim community hosting the labour community by hosting the labour leader whose they say had leader, whose visit they say had brought the centre into disrepute due to that recent stance on israel that you've just heard. well, you know what though, keir starmer, just a couple of days ago was in the commons and he said that humanitarian aid needed to get through to gaza. he said that electricity the water needed electricity in the water needed to continue to flow through. you know, i will give him this. i don't normally sit here as regular viewers and listeners to this show will will know. i don't normally sit here and give keir starmer undue credit. right. telling a pretty right. he's telling a pretty straight line on the israel gaza situation. there has situation. i think there has been monumental overreaction been a monumental overreaction by some people and actually quite disturbing and telling
10:09 pm
quite a disturbing and telling reaction about the state of mind that some people have. but adam, i'll bring you in first here. look an internal civil war is growing the day, is growing by the day, right? is keir starmer finally losing control this labour party? control of this labour party? reports potentially reports there of potentially four ministers off? >> i believe so, because look , >> i believe so, because look, let's let's remember the human rights commission found labour guilty of racism , anti—semitism, guilty of racism, anti—semitism, when corbyn led the party, it went quiet . once keir starmer went quiet. once keir starmer came into power at labour. now i think that's still bubbling and that's still going through the veins of the labour party. they've got a serious problem now . if labour become government now. if labour become government in this country, are we still an ally to israel? how does a functioning labour government, how does it function as a government if a lot of the party do not recognise israel or will not support israel ? not support israel? >> is it? look, matthew, you were doing so well, labour was doing so well, you'd got through tory conference, the
10:10 pm
tory party conference, the israel was in its israel hamas conflict was in its infancy. everything was rosy in the garden and you play the the garden and you just play the tape a couple of weeks tape fonnard a couple of weeks and hot mess, isn't it? and it's a hot mess, isn't it? >> well, look, this is this is certainly a very difficult and a hot potato issue for labour, principally because labour receives ovennhelming receives the ovennhelming support of britain's muslim community. and so community. right and so therefore represents more muslim areas more muslim areas and more muslim communities else. communities than anybody else. and is a backlash in and there is a backlash in muslim communities about what's happened. what i mean, ask what is well, the is that backlash? well, the backlash basically is over the level of humanitarian aid that's been allowed into the gaza strip , where many members of the muslim community feel that israel has been unfair in not allowing a lot of that , a lot of allowing a lot of that, a lot of that. i'm not saying that's my view. i'm saying no, no, i get many. m any. >> many. >> i get that. but this is a ridiculous nature of it. is it not? which is that the rafah crossing is with egypt, which is a muslim country which has got nothing do with israel. nothing to do with israel. >> right. egypt would argue that
10:11 pm
it's and targeted, it's being bombed and targeted, but terms the but but in terms of the political problem for labour political problem for the labour party, basically party, the kyrees basically a weak spot has been created because comments that we because keir's comments that we saw just then on lbc were somewhat look, he looks incredibly tired when you watch the clip. it was just after the party conference and his his phrasing was clumsy because labour firm ally of israel. labour is a firm ally of israel. but think most people but i think that most people would say that the humanitarian aid is a problem. aid is not a problem. >> you in a second, >> i'll bring you in a second, christine. but is this not a problem now, which is the problem now, which is that the labour because values labour party, because it values potentially the votes of just around 4 million muslims more, i dare than the 300,000 so dare say, than the 300,000 or so jews have in this jews that we have in this country. that he's going to country. see that he's going to end up now doing wrong. what whatever that community tells him to do and he hasn't. >> and that's his problem. if he gets resignations, that will be because he hasn't done that. because hasn't. i mean, because he hasn't. i mean, look, the two who are being the two people who are being mentioned, most about likely to resign sarah owen resign are mps called sarah owen and they and rachel hopkins. they actually come from very different traditions the different traditions in the party. kind party. sarah is a kind of mainstream, know, sort of
10:12 pm
mainstream, you know, sort of starmer supporter hopkins starmer supporter rachel hopkins is on left. what do they is on the left. what do they have common? they both have in common? they both represent halves represent luton, the two halves of which is one of the of luton, which is one of the towns with the largest muslim populations country. populations in the country. so they it they obviously feeling it because pressure, say, because their pressure, you say, about mean, look, in february, about i mean, look, in february, i to the jewish labour i went to the jewish labour movement i movement conference and i can tell you the and support tell you the relief and support from within the jewish from people within the jewish community that keir charge community that keir is in charge of labour and and of the labour party and the and a new new and a new page a new and a new and a new page has been turned is really intense. so there'll be no slipping backwards. >> way here, had >> on my way here, i had a jewish taxi driver right? he was going vote labour. he now going to vote labour. he now says can't because he doesn't says he can't because he doesn't trust stance over israel trust their stance over israel and the way fonnard. so how many more jewish people are suddenly not going to vote? they might not going to vote? they might not vote tory, but now they do not vote tory, but now they do not trust the labour party and i believe that's quite a few people we are seeing now. >> then christine , the idea that >> then christine, the idea that unless yes, mps openly call for at minimum at minimum a ceasefire , okay, labour mps, ceasefire, okay, labour mps, thatis
10:13 pm
ceasefire, okay, labour mps, that is that they feel as though they're not going to get the vote of the british muslim community. i think the evidence is there by what we're seeing now in luton right. that's a fair enough do fair enough comment. do you think should cave in think that the mp should cave in to that? do you think that's the right would right solution? would a ceasefire the best ceasefire actually be the best thing? i suppose if there's a ceasefire, fewer die. ceasefire, fewer people die. >> just happened. >> well, it just happened. harold wilson wasn't harold wilson was right, wasn't he? long time in he? a week is a long time in politics. keir starmer was riding the wave by elections, etcetera, etcetera. and then suddenly, of an eye, suddenly, in the wink of an eye, it changed. keir it is all changed. and keir starmer a very difficult starmer has had a very difficult few years trying to put the genie the bottle, trying genie back in the bottle, trying to all after the to calm over all after the corbyn business. he basically has been sitting with his backside bubbling volcano backside on a bubbling volcano and managed it until now. and he's managed it until now. but now the volcano is bubbling up.the but now the volcano is bubbling up. the only thing he can hope is that some mps think that it's more important that they might get hands on a chauffeur get their hands on a chauffeur dnven get their hands on a chauffeur driven government mondeo and a red box power . in other words, red box power. in other words, more important than their princes jewels, but very large princes jewels, but a very large number them might go with
10:14 pm
number of them might go with their principles and the party is riven by all this. and there's jeremy corbyn in the background at the moment. he's threatening to stand for mayor of london, he may do of london, but he may just do a george galloway his own george galloway set up his own party. he's probably more electable the wrong word , but electable is the wrong word, but he's more appealing than george galloway would probably galloway. he would probably cream very large number of cream off a very large number of votes from labour. i think votes from labour. so i think keir starmer has got mega problems on his hands. i think that mega problem. that is the mega problem. >> i think that a danger >> i think that is a danger because the only time that labour lost seats anybody because the only time that la the' lost seats anybody because the only time that la the' of st seats anybody because the only time that la the' of it seats anybody because the only time that la the' of it has:s anybody because the only time that la the' of it has beenmybody because the only time that la the' of it has been in�*body to the left of it has been in very heavily muslim constituencies to george galloway from respect in two different of different two different parts of the yorkshire and in the country in yorkshire and in london. what's london. so that will be what's driving these people. driving some of these people. i would that i mean, i think would say that i mean, i think some inside the party some people inside the party think the comments on lbc think that the comments on lbc went further than the government. basically gave government. they basically gave israel that was israel a blank check that was further sunak further than rishi sunak called. joe given. and i think joe biden has given. and i think that can you can interpret that you can you can interpret that you can you can interpret that language. what we that into the language. what we need is in the need to do is people in the party need to calm down and we need to be clear that
10:15 pm
humanitarian needs to go humanitarian aid needs to go into stand as into gaza. but we stand as a this this is this is this is this is this is this is this is labour now snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, isn't it? it could be. that's why this party calm and party needs to calm down and needs keir needs to make needs to. and keir needs to make sure he gets a grip and gets the line so sure he gets a grip and gets the linethat'sio sure he gets a grip and gets the linethat's right. well, i mean, >> that's right. well, i mean, i think to me it is utterly without question that should without question that we should be israel, which is be supporting israel, which is a beacon western values, beacon of western values, surrounded intolerant surrounded by intolerant autocrat, theocratic countries. if israel, the if we don't support israel, the whole the middle east, the whole of the middle east, the israeli labour party has joined the starmer, the government. keir starmer, final the government. keir starmer, finemany mps wouldn't >> many labour mps wouldn't condemn of condemn the actions of a terrorist hamas, in terrorist group, hamas, in the butchering of women. so every labour mp btec, a single labour mp, condemned hamas. but you mp, has condemned hamas. but you know, no way. find me a labour mp who can. >> they won't be in the labour party by the end of the night, but you can do that and you can still empathy innocent still have empathy for innocent palestinian haven't got. >> absolutely. well, they're two different things and two different things. >> innocence on both >> there's innocence on both sides. remember there's >> there's innocence on both sidelsraeli remember there's >> there's innocence on both sidelsraeli armyzmber there's >> there's innocence on both sidelsraeli army ander there's >> there's innocence on both sidelsraeli army and there's s the israeli army and there's hamas, terrorist organisation. >> 100. think >> absolutely. 100. i think there wider point which we
10:16 pm
there is a wider point which we may stuck into in the may well get stuck into in the coming which is whether or coming days, which is whether or not british politics not domestic british politics should be led or in any way kind of infiltrated by a population living here. now who has views on something that's going on in the middle east? >> we have no choice. and that's there's such a big part of our community. we've got what is it? is it you'll know the answer. is it 26 labour mps who have largely muslim constituents? well lot of mps . well there'll be a lot of mps. >> it's councillors. there's 250 labour that are labour councillors that are threatening to resign as well. >> this is >> exactly. this is this is a massive moment that is happening right now in british policy, literally right literally happening right now and bring you any and we will bring you any updates we get on that updates that we get on that breaking i brought you breaking line that i brought you moments apparently, keir moments ago. apparently, keir starmer is actively working to stop members of stop for members potentially of his cabinet from walking his shadow cabinet from walking over this israel—hamas conflict. now, you might have heard about our friend nigel farage de—banking scandal at natwest, where he was essentially banned from having account for from having a bank account for well thought crimes. so they say
10:17 pm

weekend at 3 pm. on gb views, the people's channel, britain's news channel . news channel. >> welcome back to gb news tonight with me patrick christys . now the met police have become embroiled in another race row after two of their officers were found guilty of gross misconduct and sacked over a stop and search of black professional athletes. ricardo dos santos and his partner bianca williams were driving home from a training session with their baby in july 2020 when they were stopped and
10:24 pm
we can have a look and a listen to that now get out the car ! to that now get out the car! >> get out the car now! get to section one. >> get out of the car! pc franks local life. give him peace. franks local lane police station i >> what did they do? i'm at home, bro . home, bro. >> up , bro. home, bro. >> up, bro. this is my home, bro. >> up , bro. this is my brother. >> up, bro. this is my brother. >> up, bro. this is my brother. >> you can see. this is my. >> you can see. this is my. >> well, after a search of the vehicle, nothing illegal was found and the couple were accusing the officers of racial profiling . since then, five profiling. since then, five officers were called to a disciplinary hearing in which pc jonathan clapham and pc sam franks claimed that they could smell cannabis during the search, the panel judged this to be a lie. and those two officers have now been dismissed and barred from serving in the police . so serious stuff. but police. so serious stuff. but with coppers hard to come by, was this the right call? i'm joined now by former top cop at the met norman brennan and the writer and anti—racism
10:25 pm
campaigner, femi nylander. both of you, thank you very much for joining me. look, norman, i'm to going start with you on this. do you any inside information you have any inside information that privy to at the that we're not privy to at the moment or hasn't been reported about? this is no more than meets eye. what do you think meets the eye. what do you think of this ? of all of this? >> the only information that i have, patrick, is that we have areas in london, in britain, that are besieged for gun crime, knife crime, violent crime and drugs. >> and i'm talking about big time drug dealing. >> the territorial support group are the shield units . are the shield units. >> some are armed. >> some are armed. >> they know how to deal with these types of crime . these types of crime. >> and they're normally sent into high crime areas. and when you look or see a suspect in a vehicle or walk in, you may wish to target them and you target not necessary the colour you cut , you actually target the crime . , you actually target the crime. >> and if a crime is committed by a certain demographic , then by a certain demographic, then it is that person that you're actually trying to stop , seize
10:26 pm
actually trying to stop, seize weapons from and arrest if they are actually carrying drugs. >> in this particular case, it appears that a vehicle was being dnven appears that a vehicle was being driven quite fast. was requested to stop, failed to do so, and straight away that aroused the suspicion of those officers. they then pursued the vehicle . they then pursued the vehicle. and although the complaint is that they were racially profiled , there wasn't a shred of evidence that that was the case. in fact, it was the contrary , in fact, it was the contrary, because the windows were tinted . because the windows were tinted. >> so, no, none of them officers had an idea of who was driving and who was in the vehicle. >> and it was only when they were stopped that they found out , okay, for me, i'll throw it over to you. >> what's your view on this? and i will ask as well, you know, is sometimes racial profiling part of policing? because it is an aspect of a person's appearance that may well help them to catch somebody who is suspected of committing a certain crime is there anything for that for you ?
10:27 pm
there anything for that for you? >> you asking me that's not racial profiling ? racial profiling? >> yeah , that's not racial >> yeah, that's not racial profiling. >> if someone says calls and says, oh , a man with blonde hair says, oh, a man with blonde hair and blue eyes has just robbed my chip shop , and you go to the chip shop, and you go to the chip shop, and you go to the chip shop, and you go to the chip shop and you look for a man with blonde hair and blue eyes. that's one thing. >> fair enough. >> fair enough. >> if you systematically and on purpose and search people purpose stop and search people that a certain more that look a certain way more than people that look another way, that's racial way, then that's racial profiling . profiling. >> and is not a valid >> and that is not a valid aspect of policing. >> that's based in groundless stereotypes that say black people are more likely to be drug users , are more likely to drug users, are more likely to be drug offenders than white people, and ignores the fact that if there is more types of certain crime in certain communities in london, that's much more to do with inequalities that force people. >> i mean, if you live in a tower block in a very poor area, you're much more likely to even just to shoplift. if you're poon just to shoplift. if you're poor, you will shoplift. if you went to saint paul's and your dad has a trust fund for you,
10:28 pm
you're going shoplift you're not going to shoplift because in because you have waitrose in this home. it's fine. this in at home. it's fine. i mean there was a recently a it right that the met had to it doesn't make it right though doesn't make it right though does well, i'm i'm does it? well, i'm just. i'm just trying explain the just trying to explain the background in the same background to this in the same way that you explain the background you look at background when you look at israel to israel palestine, you have to look past. you have to look at the past. you have to look at the past. you have to look at the reasons for things. i mean, the met itself recently did report about and it did a report about which and it had do a report because one had to do a report because one of was found to of its officers was found to have murdered , raped, and have murdered, raped, raped and raped woman . right. so had to raped a woman. right. so had to do a into itself and it do a report into itself and it got think it was by louise casey because of the case of sarah everard, which found itself to be homophobic , racist be homophobic, racist institutionally sexist. et cetera. et cetera . et cetera. cetera. et cetera. et cetera. so, i mean, this is a report that they this brings me on this bnngs that they this brings me on this brings me to my next point. >> this brings me on to my next point for norman, which is, i understand, norman, that your view is that it is very difficult for police officers to do days because do their job. these days because they accused of they will be accused of something that they're not
10:29 pm
necessarily right ? necessarily is that right? >> absolutely. let me cut through this . i'll tell you what through this. i'll tell you what the situation is. i've been in policing and law and order for 45 years. if in certain areas, the demographic of a certain crime, let's say gun crime, knife, crime, street robberies and homicide is committed . by 73 and homicide is committed. by 73 to 78% of young black men. i don't exactly know who the pubuc don't exactly know who the public or anyone else would expect us to stop except that type of demographic . if we go to type of demographic. if we go to oxford for example, where street robberies , burglaries, car robberies, burglaries, car thefts are committed by 7,078% of white people , i would have of white people, i would have a concern if 7,278% of young black men were stopped for that. now we have reached a point since the stephen lawrence case that there has been a bazball bat used by all of the groups that we never allowed to take over the streets before the murder of stephen lawrence and every time there's an incident where a police officer confronts a black
10:30 pm
person, whether they're male or female , young or old, we or they female, young or old, we or they are accused of being racist . a are accused of being racist. a typical example was last week in croydon, where a lady was with a child. she had a valid ticket for travelling on a bus , refused for travelling on a bus, refused to show the ticket to a ticket. inspector refused to show it to the police officer . performed, the police officer. performed, become angry and it was then on social media. within minutes, the police officer received the complaint for a racial profiling when all it was the lady just could have simply provided a ticket. but oh no. straight on social media. lisa being kicked again. if we come back to that , again. if we come back to that, i mean, i'm glad you used the example of oxford because live in oxford, i went to oxford university for three years and in those three years, oxford university and university was stopped and searched five times. >> all my white friends >> most all of my white friends were never stopped at search. so what you're talking is, what you're talking about is, is nonsense. truth that nonsense. yes. the truth is that an officer a black person an officer sees a black person goes, oh, he's black person, goes, oh, he's a black person, he's to be a criminal and he's likely to be a criminal and stops and searches them. it's
10:31 pm
happens just in stops and searches them. it's happeparts just in stops and searches them. it's happeparts of just in stops and searches them. it's happeparts of london just in stops and searches them. it's happeparts of london wheret in stops and searches them. it's happeparts of london where you these parts of london where you have high levels of knife crime in of rural of in some of the rural parts of the uk the rural parts of the the uk or the rural parts of the uk, which are completely different and don't have these levels crime in london, levels of knife crime in london, black people are 14 times black people are still 14 times more be in more likely to be stopped in search people. are search than white people. are you that there are you saying that that there are 14 times more likely to commit a certain crime? certainly not the crime drug which is crime of drug use, which is fairly crime of drug use, which is fairi'll tell you what, across >> i'll tell you what, across different demographic mix. >> you're what you're >> so what you're what you're doing you're justifying doing is you're justifying racism, and in racism, homophobia and sexism in the force. okay. the police force. okay. >> finally , norman, finally, >> finally, norman, finally, quickly. go on. go on, quickly. >> i'll tell you i'll tell you what i'm saying. young black men are other young black are murdering other young black men and knife. they're men by gun and knife. they're robbing people at such an alarming rate. there are causing fear on the streets of london. the police are there between good and bad, right and wrong. and certain sections and there's certain sections of the that do nothing the community that do nothing but undermine the british police service. and certainly in london, the met for their own good. that's so that the police stop and search. i'm a young
10:32 pm
black man. i'm 28. >> i've never murdered anyone. >> i've never murdered anyone. >> i've never murdered anyone. >> i never said you have generalising a whole group of people without any knowledge or any historical context as to why things like knife crime emerge as to why. >> let me. things like crime. both of you. >> both of you both know. both of you. stop now. both of you stop now. because i want to. i want to i want to just drill. drill down on something. i'm going to get shouted out for going to get shouted out for going over here, but i'm sorry. i'm to just this i'm going to just keep this going for minute because femi, going for a minute because femi, can just just on that what can i just just say on that what he there, my understanding he said there, my understanding of said there was that of what he said there was that there black people murdering there are black people murdering other black people. he didn't say people. he didn't say all black people. he didn't say all black people. he didn't say it's only black people. say that it's only black people. and a fact. why does and that is a fact. why does that make racist, in your view? >> no, no, no, no, no, no, no. he said young black men are murdering this as if as if young black men are. >> so you took that to mean as a the like an umbrella thing. so you that like personally ? yeah. >> i mean, he didn't say some, did he. he said young black men
10:33 pm
say say if i say to you now say if, say if i say to you now if i said to something along the lines of israel bullies are murdering palestinians , you murdering palestinians, you would tell me how dare you generalise israelis? it's not israelis, it's benjamin netanyahu's government, this, that you don't that and the you don't make sweeping generalisations like that. >> you make nuanced comments about why there are knife crime. >> there is knife crime in certain communities in london, especially if an especially if you're an ex—police chief. you should have some nuance and have some knowledge and just have some context. >> fine. final word quickly, norman. >> don't pick hairs. i didn't say all black men. i said black men. if i use the word all you're right to say that mothers and fathers of young black mothers and fathers are planning funerals instead of futures for their children . these black their children. these black mothers and fathers plead with the police to do something about it . you may not like some black it. you may not like some black people being stopped and searched, but these black young mothers and fathers don't like their children being murdered. and i'm afraid that the police are the ones that are caught between and what the 15
10:34 pm
between and what about the 15 year girl who was was year old girl who was who was who was cavity searched in school they thought she school because they thought she had didn't have any she was >> she didn't have any she was anally raped by the police force, wasn't she? because they thought that she had cannabis on her. she was a minor in a school. hold cannabis didn't cherry woman. cherry pick young black woman. what about her? stop. >> all that's >> okay. all right, that's enough. now enough. enough. now that's enough. that's enough. that's enough. all you, all right, look, both of you, thank mean, it thank you very much. i mean, it is proper debate. i am going is a proper debate. i am going to say that the metropolitan police will deny what me the term used there. i am term that femi used there. i am aware the case that he's aware of the case that he's talking about. that was talking about. however, that was former metropolitan police officer brennan the officer norman brennan and the writer and anti—racism campaigner right. writer and anti—racism campwe're�* right. writer and anti—racism campwe're�* way right. writer and anti—racism campwe're�* way over right. writer and anti—racism campwe're�* way over rbut. okay we're on way over now, but i think that was probably worth it. coming up in uncancelled, will meghan markle have the princess her sights princess of wales in her sights as on to pen her own as she goes on to pen her own mucky memoir against the royal family? prince harry's biographer angela levin is live in studio with exclusive in the studio with exclusive details. later tonight. details. that is later tonight. but next in the media, buzz as the planet earth is the bbc's planet earth is accused of over egging climate change with scientific studies showing species they claimed

10:45 pm
10:47 pm
in two. welcome back. just a quick note with reference to the last chat that we had about the bbc and its planet earth program on sunday, the beeb said that it stood by its statements on the danger rising sea levels on danger of rising sea levels on raine island and added the evidence from leading evidence is clear from leading scientists experts some scientists and experts that some species are struggling to adapt to a world dominated by human activity goes on a bit. this and we do not shy away from including of that including examples of that in our right. fine. time now our series right. fine. time now finally for uncanceled and with rumours swirling that meghan markle is preparing to pen her own tell all memoir, royal expert and author phil dampier has warned that criticism of the princess of wales in the book
10:48 pm
could slam the door shut on any hopes a reunion between the hopes of a reunion between the warring couples. now angela levin me here. fan levin joins me here. fan favourite is meghan really, really, really planning some sweet revenge here, do you think? well i think she's actually come to a short end . actually come to a short end. >> you know, she's hitting the wall because she's got some new pr people and they have said to her that actually, you know, she has to be nice, she has to be happy has to be nice, she has to be happy. >> she has to hold harry's hand. they have to look lovey dovey because she was going around looking as if she was a terrible victim. and i think people were really angry that she had all this money and all these advantages in life. and she was going around as she was in a memoir, though, you know, she's going to have to decide whether she rewrites it. and everything's cushy and lovely , everything's cushy and lovely, which will make her look ridiculous because when she was talking to oprah winfrey, she was complaining all the time or she writes nasty stuff and she's out. she's done because she's
10:49 pm
