before he went to virus update before he went to chivenor, which he did on the 14th of february, he received a note in his . box 136743. page . note in his. box 136743. page. four coronavirus international response containment of the virus in china is a key part of preventing the spread of the outbreak to the united kingdom . outbreak to the united kingdom. if what you were told by the chief scientist was right, the chief scientist was right, the chief scientific adviser was right, mr cummings that there was an inevitability or a probable inevitability to the virus sweeping the world, then any debate about whether or not the virus could be contained in china was out of date. why was

the prime minister not . told the prime minister not. told evidence is now emerging that this virus is out of control and will likely sweep the world and debate about international repatriation and drafting of legislation and doctrinal identification of reasonable worst case scenarios is behind us. we need to deal with that loss of control. >> well, i think there was still i think there was still an awful lot. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. >> patrick christys patrick christys asked for the 10th from memory. these things were discussed . but remember at that discussed. but remember at that point it was still not at all seen in whitehall . like this is seen in whitehall. like this is going to be. we know nobody

really in whitehall thought that a month from now we're going to be in in, in the biggest crisis the country has seen in in since 1945. the view was much more that if this is really going to happen, it's not going to happen for months. and you can see repeated references in documents to number 10 and the prime minister that refer to , well, if minister that refer to, well, if there is sustained community transmission in britain , then transmission in britain, then the crisis will come sort of 2 or 3 months after, which is repeat, which is repeated in various documents. i remember at this point, although there was in we now know, sustained in fact, we now know, sustained transmission in this country at that time, that was not known then. so the whole system was at this point and not just now, but three weeks after this point . three weeks after this point. i'm still thinking of this as something that was going to land on people in may, june, not something that was to going ovennhelm in mid—march i >> -- >> if you had sent a text to the

number 10 action whatsapp group on the 6th of february saying the chief scientist told me today it's probably out of control now and will sweep the world. >> okay, you're watching the afternoon of covid afternoon session of the covid inquiry. dominic cummings continuing to give evidence to hugo keith kc, who's been cross—examining him since this morning . this is rolling on now morning. this is rolling on now and we're about to cross to . and we're about to cross to. >> yes, we are going to cross to patrick christys, who will be live in brighton in a little bit later on. it depends on how quickly this wraps up at the covid inquiry , but we'll be covid inquiry, but we'll be going to patrick hopefully very soon indeed for you. >> i think it was just part of the general, the general view from the department of health and the cabinet office that this was all still you know, murky and in the future they weren't banging alarm bells at this at this point, far from it. they were going skiing. >> why weren't you, though, mr cummings you are the one who had spoken to chief scientist or spoken to the chief scientist or

received him . received a text from him. >> well, as you can see, i spoke to the chief scientist on multiple occasions and i organised a meeting for him and whitty and talk to whitty to come in and talk to the pm and as they requested in the pm and as they requested in the notes that went to the prime minister around the same time. >> why did you, as his adviser for perhaps chief adviser, not tell him my information is containment has failed, the virus is coming? >> well, i did tell him that it's not here. well, the fact that things are not written down doesn't mean that they weren't communicated. obviously, i was talking to the prime minister about all sorts of things all the time things that i as the time and things that i as i said, i having repeated said, i was having repeated conversations with patrick, many of are not actually of which are not actually recorded diaries from early recorded in diaries from early january onwards. so lots of things like this i passed on, but overall, as you can see, the system did not was not in emergency mode at this time. >> do you accept that there is no formal communication to the prime minister from anybody at this stage saying the

information from the chief scientist is to the effect that containment is likely failed? >> you have the documents , not >> you have the documents, not me. i'm sure if you say so. me. so i'm sure if you say so. i'm that's right. i'm sure that's right. >> then the prime minister >> and then the prime minister went chivenor . went to chivenor. >> yes, mr keith, i think probably time. >> yes, mr keith, i think probably time . sorry to probably time. sorry to interrupt for two plus three, please. all rise . we they've please. all rise. we they've adjourned for a break there. >> they said they'd be back at quarter past three. so it looks like we have a ten minute adjournment, no doubt. so they can take refreshments. we've learnt a lot in this session in this initially. initially dominic cummings was in extremely critical of cobra, called it pointless , called it called it pointless, called it useless and worst of all saying that people would run out and talk jabbering . he said they talk jabbering. he said they would jabber to they the media talk to technical issues. they literally couldn't even display data to the prime minister at

cobra meetings is a complete chaotic situation . 50 people on chaotic situation. 50 people on meetings and dominic cummings said we just weren't getting anywhere. >> yes, he seemed to say that the problem was that cobra wasn't ready to be scaled up to such a crisis like the pandemic, that this was a war like crisis. and it was more used to dealing with things like flooding and issues like that that aren't on such a grand scale as the pandemic was. so he's saying suggesting that that it was too slow to scale up to the challenge. >> that's right. and on the cabinet office itself , >> that's right. and on the cabinet office itself, cummings said that they were often over whelmed with internal ructions , whelmed with internal ructions, covid absenteeism , and people covid absenteeism, and people were on on call covid teams repeatedly burnt out and left out. and that he also said that the prime minister had almost died of covid. he stated there . died of covid. he stated there. >> yes. and he spoke about how the department for health was quickly ovennhelmed . in his

quickly ovennhelmed. in his words, he said the cabinet office was slow in getting to grips with the problems that the department of health was facing. he also said, matt hancock wasn't clear that he was not clear in asking number 10 for the help. the department of health needed. so again, it's this idea that everything was too slow to move the mechanisms of government weren't working in the most optimal way that they could do. and he said this was why one of the reasons why they decided to split up the department of health into various task forces to be able to deal with the issues more quickly . quickly. >> he also added that the entire question of the impacts of lockdown on vulnerable people was almost appallingly neglected , stood by the entire planning system, adding there was effectively no plan or even a plan to get a plan for a lot of that. and of course , that's that. and of course, that's looking at the shielding of the most vulnerable people, he added. there on the 19th of march, when we realised that

there was essentially no shielding plan at all. >> yes. and there was lots more as well. but we're going to go to a very quick break and hopefully patrick will be on the

>> good afternoon , everybody. >> good afternoon, everybody. it's 3:10. you're with me , it's 3:10. you're with me, patrick christys, right here on

gb news. and i'm in brighton at the royal british legion . we are the royal british legion. we are raising a bit of money, quite a bit of money as it turns out, for the poppy appeal. so far you wonderful people have managed to raise more than £102,000 for the royal british legion's poppy appeal. you can go to justgiving.com fonnard slash page, fonnard slash gb news. poppy, page, fonnard slash gb news. poppy, more on that and exactly why we're here to show a good bit of british patriotism in some turbulent times very shortly. but it's not the only story in town because we're also going to be talking as well about covid inquiry with about that covid inquiry with tom i'll to him tom hannood. i'll go to him shortly we're going to find shortly or we're going to find out latest concerning out the latest very concerning incidents taking in paris, incidents taking place in paris, a also incidents taking place in paris, a to also incidents taking place in paris, a to be also incidents taking place in paris, a to be to also incidents taking place in paris, a to be to talking also incidents taking place in paris, a to be to talking ourio incidents taking place in paris, a to be to talking our man going to be to talking our man in tel aviv, mark white, about keir starmer's latest comments. and why he's in hot water over labour's israel , gaza labour's policy on israel, gaza and hamas. and of course, we'll be getting the latest from raf scampton. and that's a story that ties into exactly why we're here. thank you very much, you wonderful gb news viewers and listeners everything listeners for everything you've

been us to raise a bit been doing for us to raise a bit of for money a very, very good cause. of for money a very, very good cause . yes. well, i'm just cause. yes. well, i'm just going to give you a live update on how we're getting on on the donations £102,592 in 24 hours. give yourselves a big round of applause if you're watching at home. if you're driving in your car, if it's safe to do so. that link again, is just giving.com/page fonnard slash gb news poppy, we're in brighton because unfortunately for a little while brighton was struggling to find somebody to replace a long standing poppy selling and we selling volunteer. and we thought , selling volunteer. and we thought, that cannot stand. this is happening all over the country. it's the sign the country. it's the sign of the times, i think. and we didn't want that to be the case here at gb news. so we thought we'd do something about it. and crucially, you. raising a crucially, so did you. raising a whopping amount of money. we're going doing a whole going to be doing a whole show on and few other topics, on this and a few other topics, but it's back to tom hannood now, deputy political now, a deputy political editor

for an explosive for the latest on an explosive live testimony. live covid inquiry testimony. tom yes , patrick, we're used to tom yes, patrick, we're used to dominic cummings criticising bofis dominic cummings criticising boris johnson , but i don't think boris johnson, but i don't think anyone here was quite prepared for the broadside that the former chief adviser to the prime minister had for just about all of the british establishment. >> it was the cabinet office, the health department and even sage that was in the sights of dominic cummings today, where he criticised those three groups for not even countenancing lockdown until early march. far from the narrative that has been built up until today, whereby the scientists were saying lockdown and the politicians were saying no, what dominic cummings has been saying today is that it was actually the scientists and sage in the communication between them and number 10 that wasn't even countenancing that a western country could do lockdown . country could do lockdown. dominic cummings said that in his ideal scenario, what we would have done back before the

new year back in 2019 is he would have banned all flights to china. but he was critical of the establishment who said such a move may have been racist. dominic cummings criticised those who were saying we shouldn't close the borders and develop a proper test and trace system, which he said had we done back in those early months, we might have avoided lockdown all together. but no , dominic all together. but no, dominic cummings was very, very critical of all of these structures , of all of these structures, features of government, the people behind the scenes, many civil servants as well, who could not countenance such a plan. it's been fascinating to hear how dominic cummings actually had praise for one individual who you might not have thought was would be mentioned today at this inquiry. and that was the supermodel. cooper harris. she was on the television in 2020 saying, why don't we have these stricter measures and was ridiculed by the scientific establishment at

the scientific establishment at the time? well, dominic cummings said today that perhaps it was the supermodel caprice that was right. and at that time, many of the scientists who were wrong completely turning on its head how many people are thinking about the pandemic. how many people are thinking about the pandemic . other about the pandemic. other highlights this morning include the former chief adviser to the prime minister and his whatsapp messages describing seeing senior politicians as f pigs. i'm not going to say the rude word at this hour on television and see words all read out in plain terms by the government lawyer. it has been a firework filled exchange and there's plenty more to come . plenty more to come. >> well, there certainly is. tom, thank you very, very much with that. deputy political editor. we whizzing you through the very late from that covid inquiry box office stuff. but look , the reason why we are here look, the reason why we are here at the portslade royal british legion in brighton is pretty

obvious. we are living through turbulent times in this country at the moment. i think as evidence in the run up to remembrance day by the cenotaph in london being cordoned off with stop protest that with the non stop protest that we be seeing around the we seem to be seeing around the country moment. and that country at the moment. and that really got me thinking. i think this is a time to show where our loyalties lie in this country and exactly how we feel about our to have that our brave and not to have that ruined by events taking place. okay >> i think we appear to be having connection issues, gremlins. >> it is halloween, isn't it? >> it is halloween, isn't it? >> some gremlins there to link into patrick in brighton. but he was raising excellent points, of course. and also talking about the run up towards armistice day, which is in two weeks. and you and i have been talking about it. i know patrick has about it. i know patrick has about the pro—palestine marchers that have gone for on the last three saturdays. will they continue to go? and it looks like likely will. and like they most likely will. and emily, if they carry on for another two weeks, then that will through to armistice will roll through to armistice day. course, the 11th of the day. of course, the 11th of the 11th, 11th hour for this

11th, the 11th hour for this year falls on a saturday. of course, remembrance sunday, obviously is a sunday, but the saturday is also marked by a two minute silence. historically always marked and remembered by veterans and the broader british public. and there have already been talks about that being dishonoured . dishonoured. >> yes. and we at gb news as well, we are absolutely certain in our mind that armistice day and remembrance must take priority when it comes to when it comes to two weeks from now. but £102,000, nearly £103,000 plus gift aid has been raised in just 24 hours for the royal british legion . that is british legion. that is absolutely fantastic . i'm sure absolutely fantastic. i'm sure many of you watching and listening right now have contributed . put your hands in contributed. put your hands in your pockets and donated anything from . £2 to £200. it's anything from. £2 to £200. it's coming in 6672. individual donations so far that is quite

incredible, isn't it? >> yeah, it's pretty. and it's also really , really needed also really, really needed because i don't know about you out there, i've been saying out there, but i've been saying this the last few days on gb this for the last few days on gb news. becoming increasingly news. it's becoming increasingly hard be able to buy a poppy news. it's becoming increasingly ha my be able to buy a poppy news. it's becoming increasingly ha my localrble to buy a poppy news. it's becoming increasingly ha my local local) buy a poppy news. it's becoming increasingly ha my local local supermarket( news. it's becoming increasingly ha my local local supermarket . in my local local supermarket. so i'm of them in my area so i'm three of them in my area that previously you could buy a poppy that previously you could buy a poppy from at the counter, no longer there. got mine yesterday at at paddington. at the station at paddington. here so jubilant when i here i was so jubilant when i saw the poppy sellers i bound that over to them and start shaking their think shaking their hands. i think they thought a bit of a they thought i was a bit of a but i was so happy to see them. so it's so amazing that patrick is this and raising money is doing this and raising money directly from guys. your directly from you guys. your generosity bounds. generosity knows no bounds. >> you talk about >> and i know you talk about this a lot, martin, but this quite a lot, martin, but the fact that when we look at british often look british history, we often look at when , oh, well, i'm at times when, oh, well, i'm going to have to cut into what i was about say. perhaps we'll was about to say. perhaps we'll get it later, because it is get to it later, because it is the covid and it has the covid inquiry and it has recommenced go . recommenced so there we go. >> fryston the united kingdom >> fryston in the united kingdom . on the 21st of february, news

emerged of a cluster of locally transmitted cases in lombardy in italy, and a lockdown began there, you'll recall, of a number of municipalities . and on number of municipalities. and on the 23rd of february, the dhsc reported 13 cases in the united kingdom . the papennork shows us kingdom. the papennork shows us that the pace of the government , that the pace of the government, the tempo, the tempo of work in government declined, notes ably between the 14th of february . between the 14th of february. and the 24th of february, which coincidentally is half term . why coincidentally is half term. why was that ? was that? >> i think it was a combination of, as i said earlier, the general perception of the senior people handling this in the cabinet office at the time was that if this proved to be a big problem and it still was an if,

then it was seen as really quite a distant problem. it was not seen as an emergency crisis. and secondly, as you remark , i did secondly, as you remark, i did not go on holiday, but many of the senior people were on houday the senior people were on holiday during that time, including the pm. >> there was no cobra between the 18th of february and the 26th of february, was there? don't we know? there were no cabinets there were no cabinet meetings during that time. cabinets there were no cabinet meetings during that time . do meetings during that time. do you recall? i don't recall . you recall? i don't recall. >> there were no notes sent to the prime minister or emails between the 14th of february and the 24th of february. >> i find that i think that's more likely to be a gap in the papennork than reflecting reality in relation to coronavirus . i don't know . he . coronavirus. i don't know. he. went to chieveley on the 14th of february. >> he returned to downing street three times for work and his diary shows that there were a

handful of meetings while he was in chieveley , but he received in chieveley, but he received from his team in downing street absolute nothing in relation to coronavirus between the 14th of february and the 24th of february. you were part of that team . why was he not kept in the team. why was he not kept in the loop in relation to the developing crisis ? developing crisis? >> well , well, partly for the >> well, well, partly for the reasons i've already said. it wasn't seen as as an imminent crisis in the cabinet office and by the cabinet, by the systems responsible for dealing with cnses. responsible for dealing with crises . when he did briefly crises. when he did briefly reappear for meetings or , for reappear for meetings or, for example, on the meltdown in the home office, as imran and i did talk to him about coronavirus and we did try and get into his head that this was a growing problem and had not gone away . problem and had not gone away. >> you say there was a lack of

understanding that there was a crisis. you you had received text messages or information yourself that the virus was probably out of control . cobra probably out of control. cobra had been reporting that there was now clear evidence of sustained transmission even outside china . you knew and outside china. you knew and number 10 knew that the virus had exploded in italy , and you had exploded in italy, and you knew there were cases already in the united kingdom. how can it possibly have been thought that there was no crisis ? there was no crisis? >> well, as i said, round about when the prime minister went away on holiday after the reshuffle around about 13, 14 , reshuffle around about 13, 14, 13, 14th of february, looked very, very different to 28th of february. so things evolved a lot over that period of time. you are, of course, i mean, your fundamental point is obviously correct that that there was indeed a massive crisis. it was indeed a massive crisis. it was indeed pretty insane that so

many of the senior people were were away on holiday at that time. but it's also important to realise that it's not like the civil contingencies secretariat or the national security council or the national security council or any of the organisations in charge of this were beating the drum and saying we've got to get the pm back. this is a massive crisis. in fact, quite the opposite. as patrick vallance and others have pointed out, apart from me , the nsc and other apart from me, the nsc and other things were retreating. it like the rest of whitehall, was like, maybe this will be a big problem, but if it is, it's going to be in may or june. going to be in may orjune. >> if it is, if it was insane, as you've described it for them to be away, to be on holiday or whatever everybody was doing and for to be a complete for there to be a complete absence administrative push absence of administrative push in relation to coronavirus dunng in relation to coronavirus during that ten day period, why weren't you banging on the metaphorical door of china saying , you've got to come back , saying, you've got to come back, we have a crisis . this virus is

we have a crisis. this virus is about to overrun us? >> well, i was talking to all sorts of people in that period. i was not on holiday and i was pushing and talking to patrick and other people, but i did not regard and neither did other people . we did not think that people. we did not think that asking the pm to come back and talk to cobra or whitehall in general at that point would have been productive. in fact, i thought it would have been counterproductive because i thought he would have said to everybody what he thought at the time, which was this another time, which was this is another swine it's all another swine flu. it's all another rubbish hoax. it'll work. rubbish media hoax. it'll work. nothing will happen. blah, blah, blah, blah. the real blah, blah, blah. the real danger is the getting danger is the economy getting talked a slump. i thought talked into a slump. i thought that he back from that if he came back from evening that to cobra evening and said that to cobra or to any other organisation, any other part of government, it would be countered productive rather so are you rather than helpful. so are you saying you did actively consider the possibility of asking him to come back and talk to cobra or whitehall? yes, it was discussed while he was away with who i

discussed it with. imran and i discussed it with. imran and i discussed it with martin and others in number 10. >> is there any record or any note whatsoever of that debate? mr cummings. >> i don't know. are you surprised to hear that there is no note, as far as we can tell, of a of asking the prime minister to come back and take charge of the crisis? no, not surprising, because there were conversations you conversations. it wasn't you know, people all in know, there were people all in the same sitting next each the same sitting next to each other work. other at work. >> you're not averse to >> well, you're not averse to sending whatsapps and texts 24 hours mr hours a day, mr >> cummings no, not. as >> cummings no, i'm not. but as i say, was sitting right next i say, i was sitting right next to imran. i didn't to martin and imran. i didn't have i didn't have to. you have to i didn't have to. you know, this was conversations that had around the office at that we had around the office at that we had around the office at that time . in that we had around the office at that time. in 0. that we had around the office at that time. in 0 . two, that we had around the office at that time . in 0 . two, 36371 that time. in 0. two, 36371 whatsapp messages number 10 action. >> page 47 on the 27th of february, after his return from chifney . mrjohnson said

chifney. mrjohnson said in response to a suggestion from lee cain i think a monday coronavirus cobra meeting with the prime minister as chair. very important to show grip suggested to martin reynolds earlier. so i think he's handung earlier. so i think he's handling dominic cummings. yeah we should pencil in an interview early next week on this too. we've got to sort stuff out over the next few days, but monday must be a new level and mr johnson says at the end of this particular thread, not sure if it can wait till monday . there's it can wait till monday. there's no reference there to the possibility that he'd been asked to come back earlier or that there should be a cobra while he was in chifney . is there no . and was in chifney. is there no. and he asked or he said , i'm not he asked or he said, i'm not convinced. we're showing . convinced. we're showing. >> okay. so that is the latest

from the covid inquiry that as you can see, i am here in brighton at the royal british legion. we're going to be doing a special here because we're doing poppy appeal. thank doing our poppy appeal. so thank you very much for everybody who's the who's donated right across the country, it's country, unfortunately, it's proving get people proving difficult to get people to poppies and to to sell poppies and to volunteer. thought we'd volunteer. so we thought we'd try step in and do our bit try and step in and do our bit and up a just giving and we set up a just giving page, just giving .com fonnard slash fonnard slash gb slash page, fonnard slash gb news poppy and you wonderful people have far donated people have so far donated a staggering £103,000. so very shortly i'm going to be talking to local councillors, the local mp, i'm going to be talking to veterans as well to get why it means so much to them. but before that i'm going to be talking to mark white. in fact, i'm going to go there now. mark white, our home security editor, talking situation talking about the situation in paris, i believe that paris, because i believe that police opened fire on a police have opened fire on a woman suspected of making death threats in support threats and speaking in support of terrorism concerning stuff . of terrorism concerning stuff. mark, what's the latest ? mark, what's the latest? >> well , this was an incident

>> well, this was an incident that unfolded on a train service from the eastern suburbs of paris into the city. reports from members of the public who called the police. this woman was going around the carriage shouting, allahu akbar . and shouting, allahu akbar. and also, as you see reports as well, that she was shouting free palestine, claiming that she had a bomb and she was going to detonate it. police attended the scene. the woman was clad in a veil, completely veiled and the police couldn't see whether she was carrying a device or not. they instructed her to follow their orders, obviously to get down on the ground . and, you down on the ground. and, you know , they would be able to know, they would be able to search her. they said that she was not complying that and that they feared for her safety, their safety, because she was claiming that she would explode the device that she had. so they opened fire, were told that eight shots were fired. the woman suffered very significant

injuries and is critically ill at this hour. she's a 38 year old woman that we know the details , patrick, as she was on, details, patrick, as she was on, apparently a radicalisation watch list for a while . not an watch list for a while. not an awful lot of other detail about that, except that there's now two investigations undennay . day two investigations undennay. day one into what on earth the woman was doing, the other into the police course of action and whether there was any other course of action that was open to them. other than opening fire on this woman . but france has on this woman. but france has been on a heightened state of alert, as have many countries in the west since the attacks on october the seventh, particularly after an attack on october the 13th in arras in northern france, where a teacher was stabbed to death. that was unked was stabbed to death. that was linked to this conflict. the interior minister in france says there have been more than 800 anti—semitic crimes that have taken place in france since

those attacks . on the 7th of those attacks. on the 7th of october . october. >> yeah, absolutely . look, mark, >> yeah, absolutely. look, mark, thank you very, very much. that that's mark white there. our security editor, filling you in on the very latest , very on the very latest, very concerning scenes in paris. and yet again, somebody who is believed to have been on a radicalisation watch list. how many times does this have to happen? i think it's happen? and it i think it's worth bearing mind rishi worth bearing in mind that rishi sunak also cautioned people sunak has also cautioned people to an attack here in this to expect an attack here in this country in light of what's going on with israel and hamas. we continue to see protests, of course every single saturday. now it appears on the streets of britain. and i would be lying if i said that wasn't part of the reason why we're here doing this kind of show here today to raise money for the royal british legion. seeing the legion. we're seeing the cenotaph off. aren't we? cenotaph fenced off. aren't we? and a lot of and we're seeing quite a lot of clashes on the streets. so i thought just in the run clashes on the streets. so i thoughtjust in the run up clashes on the streets. so i thought just in the run up to remembrance sunday, there remembrance sunday, is there something to raise something we can do to raise money? there is money? and indeed, there is because up just because we've set up a just giving us giving dot com giving us just giving dot com

well that a lot of that does come from a deep seated sense of pride that is drilled into the men and women that are in our armed forces. and i can completely empathise with this idea that you don't want to go and ask for help. it can be very difficult to adjust to civvy street again , we've got street just again, we've got that fundraiser now just giving.com/page, fonnard slash gb news poppy and the response to the gb news viewers and listeners here been listeners here has been absolutely staggering. we've already pounds already got 105,000 now pounds and it is climbing by by the minute. i just want and one last thing from you, if that's okay. ahead of remembrance sunday, what would you be saying to people who want to show a bit of pride and support for our armed forces the moment? can forces at the moment? it can feel though at feel as though patriotism at times. can be a of times. i think can be a bit of a dirty word. sometimes it can do, particularly in these challenging times and challenging economic times and challenging economic times and challenging abroad , challenging situations abroad, and they can impact on us locally. >> i would say if you're just giving page is amazing.

ministers today over plans to house some seekers on house some asylum seekers on a disused base. ray's got disused military base. ray's got the latest ray afternoon. >> patrick yes, two hearings are taking place at the planning court here at the royal courts of justice, just behind my umbrella here in london on the strand , mrs. justice thornton is strand, mrs. justice thornton is the judge presiding over these cases. we've got an injunction application from west lindsey district council. that's over those home office plans to house 2000 migrants at raf scampton in lincolnshire. of course , former lincolnshire. of course, former home of the dam busters and also braintree district council is fighting home office plans to house 1700 single male migrants at wethersfield airfield in essex. now both councils are claiming that the home office just simply doesn't have the necessary planning permissions . necessary planning permissions. however, the home office is using something called the class 0 rule to bypass those planning

laws. now, what is class ? q 0 rule to bypass those planning laws. now, what is class ? 0 you laws. now, what is class? 0 you might ask? basically it's designed to be used in an emergency or to avoid an emergency or to avoid an emergency when planning is required . now, richard wald, kc required. now, richard wald, kc is representing west lindsey district council, and today he told the judge that the decision told the judge that the decision to use raf scampton is unlawful and it should be quashed by the court . he says since that base court. he says since that base closed in 2018, the councils actually put together a really ambitious . £300 million ambitious. £300 million redevelopment plan. and in doing so they've already spent £370,000 of taxpayers money on the proposals. now if the home office is allowed to use that site to house asylum seekers, then all of that money and all of the opportunities from that huge redevelopment will be lost. that's what he's arguing now. lawyers for both councils are also arguing that they're concerned that the home office is not being 100% acura when it

says how long migrants are going to be housed there for. they've been told 12 months they say that they think that that is going to be much longer. they also say class q shouldn't be used. this isn't an emergency situation. there are other alternatives. of course there is another side to the argument. the home office, the ministers and levelling up housing and communities, ministers are fighting the claims their qc says are saying that this emergency argument is actually misplaced , that they say a judge misplaced, that they say a judge has already ruled on this in previous hearings and no evidence has been put fonnard to show that the previous ruling was inaccurate. home office of course, as well, saying patrick, that these these sorts of surplus military sites provide a cheap and orderly accommodation opfion cheap and orderly accommodation option for migrants. those who arrive here in small boats. and it's better than spending taxpayers money on expensive hotels. it's a two day hearing. a second day will be tomorrow .

a second day will be tomorrow. >> ray addison thank you very, very much, reporting from that high court hearing. we've been following that from the very start here at gb news. and we're going to see it through because it's an issue that a lot of you care about very, very dearly. quick update now. we're up to £106,294 on the justgiving page. we're trying to raise as much money as we possibly can to show a bit of true british patriotism, veterans patriotism, show our veterans that them, and to try that we love them, and to try and help as much as we can and help out as much as we can ahead of remembrance in ahead of remembrance sunday, in sharp i think, to a sharp contrast, i think, to a lot of people walking around at the are doing their lot of people walking around at the to are doing their lot of people walking around at the to tear are doing their lot of people walking around at the to tear this are doing their lot of people walking around at the to tear this country ng their lot of people walking around at the to tear this country apart.ir best to tear this country apart. it's just giving.com/page, fonnard slash news you fonnard slash gb news poppy. you can the gb news can always rely on the gb news viewers and listeners to come to the fore massive issues when the fore on massive issues when it matters most. i'm going it matters most. but i'm going to shortly about our to be talking shortly about our dear king because he is on a trip to kenya and it has brought our colonial past into sharp focus calls on him to apologise for things that, frankly, he had absolutely nothing to do with. we're cameron

painful aspects of britain and kenya's shared history , and that kenya's shared history, and that is talking about the mau mau uprising of the 1950s, the anti british rulers movement of some kenyans, which resulted in british cologne loyalists killing, torture or maiming an estimated 90,000 kenyans. and that's according to the kenyan human rights commission . now, human rights commission. now, ten years ago, the british government, patrick, did actually pay out almost £20 million to 5000 or so elderly kenyans who experienced that abuse issues. and the british government as far as they they're concerned, drew a line under it. they have never issued a full formal apology . what they a full formal apology. what they have done is expressed regret that. and i suspect that is exactly what king charles will be doing later on today . the be doing later on today. the reason being the british government's stance is that if you issue a full apology, it could they fear, open a whole

can of worms when it comes to more people demanding reparations. but there are people in kenya who really want the king to apologise, particularly those descendants of the mal mal fighters. particularly those descendants of the mal mal fighters . but the of the mal mal fighters. but the kenyan government very much wants the state visits to be looking to the future, the trading relationships, the economy. and there have been some reports that young people in particular in nairobi, also want to be looking to the future and are questioning whether or not king charles's visit is going to have any impact on the economy of kenya and their chances later on in life and their employment prospects, because there is a huge youth unemployment problem in kenya at the moment . the moment. >> absolutely. cameron thank you very, very much. that's our royal reporter there, cameron walker, for the latest from that trip to kenya, what do you make of king acknowledging our of the king acknowledging our colonial past, acknowledging some of the issues there? do you

cares about the military, that you be actually your own. you may be actually on your own. well, are well, shock, horror, you are not, because you have managed to raise far a staggering raise so far a staggering 100 and pounds . raise so far a staggering 100 and pounds. it's and 12,500 thousand pounds. it's just giving.com/page, fonnard slash gb news. poppy, it's for the royal british legion to help our veterans with housing, with mental health care, to help their and help get their families and help them get employment as they employment as well as they adjust back to civvy but adjust back to civvy street. but you know where i am now? in brighton, it's widely regarded as wokeist cities in brighton, it's widely regarded as uk wokeist cities in brighton, it's widely regarded as uk , wokeist cities in brighton, it's widely regarded as uk , which vokeist cities in brighton, it's widely regarded as uk , which is (eist cities in brighton, it's widely regarded as uk , which is why cities in brighton, it's widely regarded as uk , which is why actually the uk, which is why actually bnngs the uk, which is why actually brings me a special amount of joy to come here and read loads of money for our armed forces. but went and about earlier but i went out and about earlier on that famous brighton pier. okay, to speak to okay, i wanted to speak to people them whether or people and ask them whether or not they think the younger generation does enough to recognise the service military heroes and what could be done to try to get them to show a bit more love for them. really here we go . we go. >> probably not. no, probably no . probably do need to . a bit . probably do need to. a bit more education. yeah yeah. >> there isn't anything that the

young ones are not taught about it anymore. there's no education on the war. i don't even think they learn about the war anymore in schools or anything, or universities. >> when kid, you learnt >> when i was a kid, you learnt about world war i and world war ii school. school, and ii in the school. in school, and you looked at the poetry and things around it. you don't seem to do that much and i to do that so much anymore and i think that's something that's missing in today's age. >> don't know >> i think they don't know history. they don't history. see, they don't understand the reason understand the past. the reason for and the hague for the poppy and the hague appeal in the first world appeal and in the first world war and where it started and how much more much it does, i think more schools should be covering more of and not destroy of our past and not just destroy it and trying to be detrimental and embarrassed and apologising for nothing to for things which are nothing to do with us. >> don't know what's going on >> i don't know what's going on with system. with the education system. there's be ashamed of there's nothing to be ashamed of in we be in this country. we should be proud our veterans and we proud of our veterans and we need support more and need to support that more and that should in our education that should be in our education system . system more. >> yeah, well, there you go. i think it is concerning, isn't it? i mean, i've reported on stories of some people's burning

the union flag outside the school and there just appeared to be an astonishing lack of patriotism in the education system , i think does more to system, i think does more to teach about the wrongs of teach kids about the wrongs of this country absolutely this country than the absolutely amazing it. and amazing achievements of it. and therefore, what's the point? i would argue, you know, if we aren't that breeding aren't that happy breeding a generation of people who are proud to be here and love this country, to go to country, i'm going to go to major now. major general chip chapman now. he's senior british he's a former senior british military as well to us military advisor as well to us central command, amongst many other things, major general chip chapman, thank you very, very much . well, firstly, how do you much. well, firstly, how do you react to the news that gb news viewers and listeners have managed to raise a stonking £112,000 for the royal british legion in just over 24 hours? what do you think that says? >> well, i think people care and it shows that people care . it shows that people care. >> and we've got this connectedness of people who should care about these things. no man is an island , in john no man is an island, in john donne's words. >> and we are diminished by the death of people if we don't care. and that's why, regardless

of what happens in brighton with a sort of council or something, you know, empathy and understanding for the sacrifice of those who came before and those who still live with those traumas is something which should us all. should connect us all. >> yeah , absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> i just want to give a shout out to louise has just put £5 in whether or not you put in £5 or £500. it all matters . it £500. it all matters. it absolutely matters and it's massively appreciated because i do know that times are cost of living crisis. so thank you very much. just giving.com/page/news poppy. but chip , let's chat poppy. but chip, let's chat about what i was asking some of the people of brighton there , the people of brighton there, which is a concern maybe that the younger generations are not taught to have pride. maybe in our military heroes and maybe not taught the bravery and the stoicism and the achievements, frankly , that have allowed frankly, that have allowed through their sacrifice have allowed the young people of this country to have the kind of freedom, homes and life that they enjoy . they enjoy. >> yeah, i think there's three

parts to that. it's who are we? where did we come from and what does this mean to our identity? and it's all those great values which are still really enshrined in the values and standards of the armed forces, which are the key things here. and it's the loss of those values, which seems to main part of the seems to be the main part of the erosion of society we've erosion of society where we've sort of breaking each other apart, each other apart, rather than coming together with all those things to do with integrity and honesty, mate hood sacrifice , all those key sacrifice, all those key adjectives which define what military service and sacrificing for each other in times of need . for each other in times of need. when there is a just war to go and fight against evil in the world, which we see today in various theatres in the world today . today. >> look, i am here and i want to say a special thank you to the portslade royal british legion club who have opened their doors early for us, actually on a day, the one day of the week that they are normally not open. so a

massive thank you to them for a very short notice, making us feel so welcome here. and that is part of the veteran community, of course, that i know stick together and always like to do right by each other. but i ask you, we're but can i ask you, we're a couple of weeks away from, um, the remember this service on sunday walking past the cenotaph, that same cenotaph. that's been barricaded off that same street that has been the scene of so many protests and demonstrations taking place recently and some them recently and some of them absolutely fine and some of them definitely not tensions, i think at boiling point in this country. how vital for you is it that the police do release what happens on the saturday and the sunday in a couple of weeks time, impeccably, and make sure that our services and our remembrance isn't desecrate it? well it's absolutely vital. >> and of course, cenotaph is sort of holy ground really for the military because it is the centre of the celebrations. but it's worth reminding ourselves that in terms of sacrifice , that

that in terms of sacrifice, that the number of doubly thankful villages that is, those who didn't have someone killed in either the first world war or the second world war is tiny. and therefore, everywhere in the uk and actually in ireland, there is a physical manifestation version of the sacrifice of the last 100 plus years because there are only something like i think 30 hamlet s or small communities which lost no one killed in action in the first or second world war. so you could drive back to london through any hamlet village and you would find a war memorial of which the cenotaph represents the centre of that. and by one of those bizarrely bizarre , bizarre fate, fatalist bizarre, bizarre fate, fatalist things, one of the places which didn't lose anyone killed in the first or second world war is the inappropriately named upper slaughter in in gloucestershire . slaughter in in gloucestershire. and just worth reflecting because of the tensions we still have with southern ireland or era these days. now, i believe

that there was no one, no community in ireland that didn't have anyone who wasn't killed in the first world war or second world war. so even though they're now a separate entity, people all then did volunteer for the british empire and to fight the evil of militarism of the prussians in world war ii. and of course, world war i and in . world war ii. in. world war ii. >> yeah, points well made there, chip. look, just what i've got you.cani chip. look, just what i've got you. can i ask you a question about a very current and a very real thing that our prime minister, rishi sunak, has said. he's actually said to expect some kind of terror attack at the moment. is he urging us, do you think, to be vigilant there or is he actually seriously warning that it's going to happen ? well, i think we're happen? well, i think we're always vigilant. >> and the key thing to look for is when the joint terrorism analysis centre raised the threat level based on any chatter and that raising of the

threat level would be based on intent, capability and timeframe , and that would lead to increased protective security measures from the police and other agencies involved in security. now now the contest strategy, counter—terror strategy, counter—terror strategy only came out three months ago in july this year. that did did tell us that the threat from terrorism was endunng threat from terrorism was enduring and evolving . the enduring and evolving. the events that we see of the last couple of weeks might suggest that it couple of weeks might suggest thatitis couple of weeks might suggest that it is evolving again, because grievances and ideology can power people to physical force acts which might not have happened before and there's a melange of sort of issues that come together and what we would term salad bar terrorism , where term salad bar terrorism, where you take an issue of palestine , you take an issue of palestine, you take an issue of palestine, you take an issue of hamas, you take an of what is take an issue of what is essentially perceived as israeli war atrocities. they all propel you to action. so it's that sort of melange of things which can be really, really dreadful for

the future. and it's these lone actors, what is now called self—initiated terrorists, which are the most difficult to find. who can be powered by these, what they see on social media, the fractions of social media and by the visual images that they see happening in the last three or so weeks . three or so weeks. >> major general chip chapman , >> major general chip chapman, thank you very, very much . now, thank you very, very much. now, just a quick reminder , gb news just a quick reminder, gb news is here raising money for the poppy is here raising money for the poppy appeal. it's just giving.com/page four, slash gb news. poppy and we are now up to an astonishing £115,000. it's just going up by £500 increments every single time i look at it. but look, there's another story in town, okay? and that is the way that keir starmer has been handung way that keir starmer has been handling the ongoing crisis and war between israel and hamas. now, labour leader is facing now, the labour leader is facing a massive internal a massive, massive internal battle that could well battle here that could well prove actually to have a huge impact on the general impact on the next general election. the leader has election. the labour leader has said that he understands calls for a ceasefire in gaza, but he

argued it was not the argued that it was not the correct moment, correct position at the moment, claiming would embolden hamas claiming it would embolden hamas and risk further violence immediately . so we were speaking immediately. so we were speaking this morning and sir keir starmer said that humanitarian pause in the conflict was the only credible approach. you call it the conflict, terrorism and brutality on a scale that few countries have ever experienced . countries have ever experienced. >> make no mistake , this is >> make no mistake, this is terrorism on a scale and brutality that few countries have ever experienced . certainly have ever experienced. certainly not this one. why while i understand calls for a ceasefire at this stage , i do not believe at this stage, i do not believe that it at this stage, i do not believe thatitis at this stage, i do not believe that it is the correct position now for two reasons. one on because a ceasefire always freezes any conflict in the state where it currently lies . state where it currently lies. and as we speak, that would

leave hamas with the infrastructure and the capability to carry out the sort of attack we saw on october the 7th. our current calls for pauses in the fighting for clear and specific humanitarian purposes and which must start immediately, is right in practise as well as principle is probably without . probably without. >> so the labour leader there , >> so the labour leader there, sir keir starmer. now loads of labour councillors have quit over this. i wonder how long it's going to be before we see potentially even frontbench resignations actually, i'm joined now by amal latif, who is a labour councillor at a former labour councillor at oxford. amal, thank you very much for joining oxford. amal, thank you very much forjoining us again here on gb news. great to have you. so you've just heard what keir starmer had to say there. does that change your view? are you still going be quitting still going to be quitting labour? not going to go labour? you're not going to go back any time soon. >> hi patrick. >> hi patrick. >> having on again. >> no, absolutely. i think his speech was very disappointing

and a long time since and it's been a long time since i heard national politician i heard a national politician make speech that's been quite make a speech that's been quite so tone deaf. you know, over three quarters of the british population in polling consistently say they would like a ceasefire as you say, over 40 councillors now across the uk, labour councillors have resigned , myself included from the labour party . there have been labour party. there have been endless resignations from the grassroots . over half the shadow grassroots. over half the shadow bench shadow frontbench is now calling for a full ceasefire. the london mayor, the mayor of greater manchester, the leader of scottish labour party, is calling for a ceasefire and it just shows how out of touch keir starmer is by refusing to call for one and continuing with his calls for a humanitarian pause . calls for a humanitarian pause. what i want to know, and i think a lot of people want to know, omar actually is who on earth you and the potentially hundreds of thousands, if not millions of

other people like yourself who are feeling despair at the labour party stand over this. >> who are you going to vote for? >> well, i think that that remains to be seen. if you look at the latest polling of people who have said that they're not looking to vote for labour, a significant proportion of those are likely not to vote. some of those will vote for independent candidates. indeed, i suspect that we will see a surge in independent candidates for the next general election and it may well be that in some seats those independent candidates win the seats, it may be in other seats where labour have a very small majority that actually losing significant numbers of votes to an independent candidate or people that don't vote is likely to lead to another party winning. that's not labour. i mean, i've seen and heard of some polling that's been going on that suggests that actually if the election was to be called

today, about 45 constituencies, 45 seats which labour are banking on for the next general election would not would not result in a labour a labour victory. so i think he is in trouble and i think it's his doggedness in continuing to call for just a humanitarian pause forjust a humanitarian pause that's likely to cause further problems . as i speak, i'm problems. as i speak, i'm speaking to a lot of labour party councillors across the country , activists and mps and country, activists and mps and many of those are telling me that remaining in the party in order to see if he can change his position and change things from the inside . from the inside. >> can i just ask you this one quick one there, so i hope you don't mind me asking you is because it was a story we were covering yesterday, this application to the electoral commission been rejected commission has now been rejected . want to make very, . and i want to make that very, very clear. but there was an application that went in for a party they didn't party of islam. now they didn't pubush party of islam. now they didn't publish a manifesto. it was just to were going to stand to say they were going to stand up marginalised communities

up for marginalised communities as across the uk. as they saw them across the uk. and wondered whether not and i wondered whether or not you that a party you thought that if a party similar might actually similar to that might actually do well . do quite well. >> well, i think we live in britain. britain is a multicultural society. i don't think i would support a society that's based on one sorry, a party that's based on just one religion. i i serve the people of oxford, cowley . the ward that of oxford, cowley. the ward that i serve is a multiculture oral society and a multicultural constituency . and i would constituency. and i would encourage people to come together and not to define themselves based just on their religion, but the defining factors behind parties should be the principles by which people feel they can come together. and those principle goals in the past, for the labour party have been international justice and peace. but it's sad to see that that's no longer the case. okay amara, thank you very much for your time. >> again, much appreciated. take care . that's amal lateef there, care. that's amal lateef there, councillor, former labour councillor should be said, just

reacting to what keir starmer had say. ithink reacting to what keir starmer had say. i think labour is in had to say. i think labour is in a bit of trouble. i mean, who would seen coming? but would have seen this coming? but there go. right now when i there we go. right now when i come back i'm going to be taking you for very from you for the very latest from the high in fascinating high court in that fascinating case at raf scampton where asylum seekers supposed to asylum seekers were supposed to be that disused raf be moved into that disused raf base, is it base, a historic site. is it happening? is it not going to happen? just quickly, happen? oh, and just quickly, please donations please get your donations continuing come in. it's just continuing to come in. it's just giving.com/page/gb continuing to come in. it's just giving.iom/page/gb continuing to come in. it's just giving.i refresh e/gb continuing to come in. it's just giving.i refresh the screen in and if i refresh the screen in front of me right now, are front of me right now, we are now up to £117,000 for the poppy appeal. thank you very, very much, everybody. you are really a lovely bunch of people digging deep at this moment in time to show our veterans that you love them. i'll see

isabel, monday to thursdays from six till 930 . six till 930. welcome back. >> here we are in brighton for the gb news poppy appeal. now, brighton, many people say it has been described as the wokeist part of the uk and it may come as no surprise. then that it was quite difficult. apparently to find somebody initially to do some poppy selling after a long standing volunteer said that sadly couldn't any sadly they couldn't do it any more. thought we'd in more. we thought we'd step in and that void and so far and fill that void and so far you wonderful people, gb news viewers and listeners have now raised just shy of £180,000, an astonishing effort showing how much you really care for the royal british legion. that is so much work to help veterans find a home, get mental health care and get on the employment

ladden and get on the employment ladder. and we are here at the wonderful portslade royal british legion club, which is doing great hosting us doing great stuff, hosting us here. you very, very here. so thank you very, very much. to another issue that much. but to another issue that is affecting, well, historic veterans left many people wondering why can't house wondering why we can't house homeless veterans there now. but certainly it's got lot of certainly it's got a lot of people going. it also ties in with the migrant crisis. it's what's scampton and we what's going on scampton and we can go to ray addison, who's at the high court for us as this case rumbles on. so two councils have begun a high court fight with ministers today over plans to house asylum seekers at a disused military base. and ray has the latest for us. patrick we've got two councils here arguing that fundamentally the home office just doesn't have the necessary planning permission to house asylum seekers on these disused military bases . military bases. >> and furthermore, they shouldn't be able to overrule that lack of planning permission on using this wartime laws that

that have been put in place. the hearings, there's two hearings happening today and tomorrow at the royal courts of justice . but the royal courts of justice. but first up, the injunction application from west lindsey district council over those plans to house 2000 migrants at raf scampton of course, home of the dambusters and also braintree district council fighting home office plans to house 1700 single male migrants at wethersfield airfield in essex. there arguing against the use of this class. q rule, which the government is using to bypass planning laws. class q is designed to be used in an emergency ac or to prevent an emergency ac or to prevent an emergency and nd, of course, the council are arguing that this is just not a real emergency situation like it would be in wartime. richard wald kc is representing west lindsey counsel. he says it's unlawful

to use raf scampton on the wants the judge to quash it. and he says that since the base was actually closed in 2018, the local council has actually put together a really ambitious £300 million re development scheme . million re development scheme. um, and they've spent, spent over £370,000 of taxpayer money. did developing that plan. and if the home office is allowed to use that base to house asylum seekers instead of this redevelopment plan, it's all going to go out of the window. and all the money that they've used they've spent so far is just going to be turn out to have been wasted as well. both councils say they think councils say that they think that the home office is going to try and use these bases for longer than the 12 months that they've initially stated. and as longer than the 12 months that tisaid,> initially stated. and as longer than the 12 months that tisaid, they ally stated. and as longer than the 12 months that tisaid, they claim .ated. and as longer than the 12 months that tisaid, they claim that. and as longer than the 12 months that tisaid, they claim that there as longer than the 12 months that tisaid, they claim that there is i said, they claim that there is no however the home no emergency. however the home office ministers and the department for levelling up housing and communities are fighting back. they're saying that this whole argument about the need for there to be an

emergency re just isn't valid . emergency re just isn't valid. they say another judge has already ruled on this in a previous case and that nobody has put any evidence fonnard to show that that previous ruling is wrong. so two days of heanngs is wrong. so two days of hearings , first day coming to an hearings, first day coming to an end here in a rather rainy london. day two is tomorrow. and i'll be there. >> everybody who's been donating you can go to just giving.com fonnard slash paige fonnard slash gb news poppy ray addison there with the latest on raf scampton so thank you very much everybody who's been getting in touch. when i come back, touch. so when i come back, we're talking about we're going to be talking about the from the latest from the latest from the latest from the latest from the latest from the inquiry. sorry, the covid inquiry. sorry, because has because dominic cummings has been expletive riddled been giving an expletive riddled string of evidence today. so we'll be discussing all of that. we're also going to be talking as well to a chap called keith campbell who had a war memorial stolen from his local area . i stolen from his local area. i mean, really, when you think

is completely dysfunctional. but within that, the cabinet secretary did make very important improvements. i think a crucial part of my job was to say to the pm and to other people, if i thought that someone couldn't do the job, then to make that clear because a that's so fundamental to performance and b, the issue is so often buried in whitehall . so often buried in whitehall. yeah indeed. >> i mean it does all feel a little bit hindsight 2020, doesn't it? it's clear that it was absolute chaos, but i just wonder whether or not they're doing all of this stuff in other countries. how do you feel? i don't know. maybe you feel as though we've absolutely got to get to the bottom of every single which way in which every single which way in which every single was made. maybe single decision was made. maybe you though couldn't you feel as though you couldn't go funeral a loved one go to the funeral of a loved one or you had to sit apart from a bereaved relative. cetera. bereaved relative. et cetera. and galling and that was desperately galling . your weddings . maybe you had your weddings cancelled all of this stuff, cancelled and all of this stuff, and i can completely understand that are desperate to that people are are desperate to get bottom of it. but get to the bottom of it. but when at someone like when you look at someone like dominic cummings, the dominic cummings, you know, the

on that employment ladder. so just fonnard slash just giving .com fonnard slash page , just giving .com fonnard slash page , fonnard slash gb news page, fonnard slash gb news poppy - page, fonnard slash gb news poppy . that's poppy. that's justgiving.com/page fonnard slash gb news poppy is going great. guns at the moment. and i just want to give a little bit of a shout out to a couple of the people who have just donated. carol's chucked in a tenner a bit of gift aid. tenner plus a bit of gift aid. michael says. i hope this helps with £20. well, it certainly will, michael. and will, michael. thank you. and doreen says, so pleased to help. just it's not just a little. well, it's not just it's £10, which just a little. it's £10, which is, i think, a heck of a lot for most people, especially given the climate. so the current economic climate. so thank so much, thank you so, so much, everybody. important, everybody. it's important, i think, patriotic think, that the patriotic majority heard majority make our voices heard every again, you? every now and again, don't you? but look, i was out and about on the famous brighton pier seafront getting seafront earlier on, getting battered bit by the battered a little bit by the elements, people whether elements, asking people whether or that we did or not they thought that we did enough our heroes. enough to remember our heroes. i think we do. >> i think we have to look at the americans and how much they do for their veterans. ask half of us are sleeping on the street doonnays and they're unemployed.

once come of the once they come out of the services, they're very they're very to employ because very hard to employ because their sector is, know their skills sector is, you know , probably not very compatible with a lot of things, which is a shame. >> i think we should try beat them with a bit more respect. i mean, you see often see a lot of veterans have become homeless and, you know, living on the streets. and that's just wrong . streets. and that's just wrong. completely really. completely wrong. not really. no. there's a lot more no. i think there's a lot more we could do. if you look at we could do. and if you look at what they do in america and how they and they respect they honour and they respect their think we could their veterans, i think we could do a lot more in this country. >> okay. so like i said, here we are at the portslade royal british club, very british legion club, very gratefully so. and i am very pleased be by the pleased to be joined by the labour for brighton. it is labour mp for brighton. it is lloyd russell—moyle thank lloyd russell—moyle mp. thank you joining us. you very much for joining us. great have you on the show. great to have you on the show. so first foremost, what do so first and foremost, what do you of poppy day? what do you make of poppy day? what do you make of poppy day? what do you think about the fact that we've managed to raise anyway, our viewers have managed to raise £130,000. bad effort. >> i think that's remarkable effort. >> and all credit to you guys

and to your viewers who have raised that amount money. but raised that amount of money. but this happens across the country at smaller scale , whether it's at a smaller scale, whether it's people are not rattling but people who are not rattling but who are holding the tins on our streets or, for example, i always do a collection in at the asda store in my constituency , asda store in my constituency, and that's for people with poppies. and that's to remember, i think , not just the fund i think, not just the fund raising. she's important and i've put down a number of parliamentary questions about why the wreaths vat on why the wreaths have vat on them. example , all because i them. for example, all because i think it's disgrace that the think it's a disgrace that the wreaths on them poppies wreaths have vat on them poppies don't. but why should 20% of that be going to tax man that be going to the tax man when i think most people expect it all to to going the it all to be to going the british is important not british legion is important not just to raise money, but to remember and not remember just the people who sacrificed themselves in long ago wars , but themselves in long ago wars, but more recent conflicts as well that we've had. now you can have arguments about whether people should be sent to war or not, but once they are committed . and

but once they are committed. and they are doing a duty for all of us, then we must, i think remember and respect the role that they played. >> do you as a danger in this country at the moment that we have a generation possibly a couple of generations, who haven't war close to haven't known a war close to home, maybe known home, who haven't maybe known the the the suffering that some of the older generations had to go through and maybe don't appreciate that appreciate the sacrifice that was . was made. >> yes, i think that sometimes what can happen is people who haven't really themselves been through war or start to think that war is an easy thing. war is something that we can just press a button and be done with it. and i think that actually most people who lived through and served in the first and second world wars knew what horror it was, knew what horror war was, how it destroyed people , it destroyed families, and it was no good in the end, you know, there was no good out of war or the only good was that people died at and, you know, families were ruined. that's no good at all. so and that's why,

of course, after the second world war, all of these charters of human rights, the council of europe, eventually even the european union, with the coal and steel union, were designed to make war much harder because those people who had lived through it said we need to make it impossible for future generations. they might forget the but we need to the harm, but we need to integrate them economically and politically and integrate people in such a way that they have to be bound by un standards. and so that war becomes harder . now, it that war becomes harder. now, it will never be impossible , but will never be impossible, but that's why that generation did it. and i think our job to respect that generation is not just respect those people who have served to respect the institutions and the foundations that they laid because they said never again . and we must respect never again. and we must respect that. yeah i mean, i know that we can fundamental not let anything like that happen ever again. >> we hope it won't. that's not to say it won't, but we hope it won't. we do live in turbulent times. i wonder what you make

certainly of the difficult job. and a difficult job that and it is a difficult job that keir starmer has got at the moment. a very delicate balancing what's going balancing act with what's going on israel and gaza . treading on in israel and gaza. treading a fine line. one of the reasons, i'll be honest with you, obviously one of the reasons why we were doing this and going big on it at the moment is because of of the concerns that we of some of the concerns that we had around protests in london and about the cenotaph being barricaded off and concerns about time. about in a couple of weeks time. when get remembrance sunday when we get remembrance sunday and definitely to and the day definitely going to be around london as be protests around london as well , doing a decent job be protests around london as well, doing a decent job at be protests around london as well , doing a decent job at the well, doing a decent job at the moment, not calling for an immediate ceasefire, calling for that kind of humanitarian blockade where are you on this? >> well, on some of the points, i don't think that i would be surprised if there are demonstrations on remembrance sunday or the armistice day saturday beforehand. >> and i would see that probably in poor taste if they were outside the centre. those two days. the cenotaph is used for. but we must remember the

cenotaph is opposite 10 downing street. and so for political protests will always happen there. that's where they should happen. it's quite right happen. i mean, it's quite right that happen outside that they do happen outside there, remembrance there, but on on remembrance sunday and on armistice day, clearly that site needs to be used for something else and it will be inappropriate, i think, for protests happen in that for protests to happen in that location. don't think location. and i don't think anyone think don't anyone i don't think i don't think anyone i don't think think anyone would i don't think anyone would want to. i anyone would would want to. i think on keir, i think that we're getting too worked we're getting a bit too worked up word ceasefire and up on the word ceasefire and humanitarian pause. personally and i think kids getting too worked one way. and worked up on it in one way. and i think the people the other i think the people on the other side getting to work a bit side are getting to work a bit on the other way. what do we want? want firing on both want? we want the firing on both sides to stop temporarily so that there be a humanitarian that there can be a humanitarian support, can be some more support, there can be some more negotiations support, there can be some more negotiainegotiations for of already negotiations for some of the hostages released. the hostages to be released. now, if that pause turns into a longer pause, we call it a ceasefire. if it breaks down, we call it a humanitarian pause, don't we? but we know sometimes even things that you call ceasefires break down. so the

idea we're having idea that we're having a quibble, we're having . i think quibble, we're having. i think so. i think what we want is we want the fighting, immediate bombing on both sides to be paused. bombing on both sides to be paused . we then want a set of paused. we then want a set of clear demands that come out of that, which is the hostages have to be released. we have to get humanity korean aid in, and then the next level is that is that we want a kind of two state solution. we want each one of those stages. there is a danger that a ceasefire or humanitarian pause, whatever want call pause, whatever you want to call it, because either it, breaks down because either side says , well, you're side says, well, you're not honounng side says, well, you're not honouring israel, course , honouring it. israel, of course, will see the disbanding will want to see the disbanding of that will be one of of hamas. that will be one of their conditions. and if that didn't happen day or didn't happen after a day or two, clearly the ceasefire two, then clearly the ceasefire would break down. whether we call whether call it a ceasefire or whether we it a humanitarian pause. we call it a humanitarian pause. the prime minister a the prime minister wants a humanitarian pause. get it. humanitarian pause. i get it. the wants humanitarian the un wants a humanitarian pause. let's the pause. let's have the humanitarian matters a humanitarian pause matters to a lot your councils lot lot of your councils and a lot of voters a lot of let's be of voters in a lot of let's be honest with seats with honest with you, seats with a high muslim vote and they're not voting for you any more over

this. well, of course it matters to them because just like we understand that jewish people have a particular connection to israel , all muslim people have israel, all muslim people have a particular connection to palestine . you know, jerusalem palestine. you know, jerusalem is the third holiest site in in islam. and it is inextricably unked islam. and it is inextricably linked to british muslims identity. and so you cannot say you treat the palestinians badly , but it's got nothing to do with how british muslims will feel. it is the same as a british jew would feel with israel. a british muslim would feel with palestine. that's how you have approach it. and so you have to approach it. and so you have to approach it. and so you have to have sympathy and compassion for both people that are hurting both sides. are hurting on both sides. >> that in a couple >> you do think that in a couple of saturday's time, which will be november, that it be the 11th of november, that it would taste, for would be in poor taste, for there to be any demonstrations about what's going on the about what's going on in the middle east london, middle east around london, around the cenotaph, i think around the cenotaph, i think around cenotaph, would be around the cenotaph, it would be around the cenotaph, it would be a poor taste . to demonstrate in a poor taste. to demonstrate in the kind of demonstrations and i

say that on both sides. >> i think it would be in poor taste for people to show a demonstration in support of israel's actions as well. i think i think demonstrate actions, political demonstrations on the on an armistice on armistice day. well, yes , exactly. on armistice well, yes, exactly. on armistice day, we should point is to pause and to say, hang on a second. let's remember the horrors of war and let's try and find that's not saying that you never then use violence because sometimes it will be needed , you sometimes it will be needed, you know, to stop greater violence . know, to stop greater violence. but generally, we try and find negotiate routes out. and i think humanitarian pause, a ceasefire, whatever you call it, an immediate stop of firing. and then we go from there. that's what need. i think a lot of what we need. i think a lot of our viewers will be really reassured you said reassured to hear what you said there, i know huge there, because i know huge numbers of them are deeply concerned about the potential for to have for what it might mean to have protests has anyone said that protests or has anyone said that they protest on that day? >> well, it's the fact that it's continuing happen. continuing to happen. >> i do. i do suspect >> no, but i do. i do suspect sometimes we also must not talk ourselves into a position of

thinking enough. ourselves into a position of thinkinwsomeone enough. ourselves into a position of thinkinwsomeone saidenough. ourselves into a position of thinkinwsomeone said ,|ough. ourselves into a position of thinkinwsomeone said , iugh. ourselves into a position of thinkinwsomeone said , i think unless someone has said, i think we should assume that not we should assume that it's not going happen. going to happen. >> think i think it's >> i think yeah, i think it's the concern that it might. but i'm going to just delve i'm just going to just delve quickly in. >> british, many muslims >> many british, many muslims and treated the and sikhs were treated in the first in brighton first world war here in brighton in pavilion because was in the pavilion because this was the place where all indians were treated. we have graves full of muslims fought for britain muslims who fought for britain in the first world war, and we have pyres where have remembrance pyres where people were the hindus were burned , of course, because burned, of course, because that's their religion that they have to cremated up just on have to be cremated up just on the mound, just on the hill up this road, people in brighton will that muslims, sikhs will know that muslims, sikhs and indians sacrificed a lot and they of they are part of that remembrance well. okay. remembrance as well. okay. >> right. and just quickly, >> all right. and just quickly, you yesterday , i you were talking yesterday, i believe, the bibby believe, about the bibby stockholm is an issue stockholm bar, which is an issue that i know a lot of our viewers and our listeners care strongly about. i wonder if we might be able a little clip of able to have a little clip of some things that you were some of the things that you were saying about it that saying there about it that i might be able to throw to in just a second if possible. but i

know that you you certainly don't bibby don't feel that the bibby stockholm appropriate. stockholm barge is appropriate. i did. listen to this clip earlier on and correct me if i'm wrong, did think that wrong, but did you think that the basketball was too small? >> no. what i said is that all the recreational facilities have been taken away. so for example, they've confiscated all the basketballs, they've taken away all the weights. now, each individual thing on its own makes no difference. but if you have a group of eventually 500 men with nothing to do , do men with nothing to do, do nothing to occupy themselves , nothing to occupy themselves, i'm afraid those kinds of things are recipes disaster. are recipes for disaster. you know, kind of 500 men sitting around for months. if not, maybe some them years . and bearing some of them years. and bearing in mind the bibby stockholm is hugely more hugely expensive, it's more expensive people up expensive than putting people up in of the cheaper hotels, in some of the cheaper hotels, in some of the cheaper hotels, in fact. and one point there in fact. and at one point there were guards for 30 people on were 25 guards for 30 people on that barge . the barge is in that barge. the barge is in a port where there is no hospital, there is no adult education centre, there is no hospital shut. during covid, the local people are one of the most is one of the most forgotten towns

in in our country. the royal navy withdrew 20 years ago and there's been nothing to replace it. and suddenly putting a barge with up to 500 men in that location without the services is wrong. and the men that i spoke to and they are predominantly men. >> where do you put them? do you put them somewhere around here then? >> well, yes, we could have them here, but actually on a barge. so you would offer to put on so you would offer to put but on a barge that particular barge a barge on that particular barge and on a barge more generally, i don't think is necessarily appropriate. people appropriate. i think people should across the should be spread across the country in proper accommodation. these not come these men that came had not come on let's be clear. they on boats. let's be clear. they had aeroplane from iran had come via aeroplane from iran fleeing the protests when they had wives and had supported their wives and their women who were their other women who were protesting against the baa rac of iran. and of course we know iran is behind some of the other stuff that we've got some of the world concerning at the moment. so illegitimate so these were not illegitimate claims . and what we want is claims. and what we want is their to be seen being their claims to be seen being processed. want their processed. no, we want their claims to be done quickly. that's labour will employ that's why labour will employ a

thousand processors to thousand more processors to get them and should them quick. and if they should be get them to work and if be here, get them to work and if they shouldn't be here, then we send back. this whole send them back. but this whole they've come on boats is not what they had come by there. >> how you going to be able >> how are you going to be able to send them back when the conservatives to send them back when the conservai the . to send them back when the conservaithe conservatives have >> well, the conservatives have predominantly able send predominantly been able to send people had their people back who have had their claims, then heard the problem thatis claims, then heard the problem that is arose arises is the longer someone stays here, so the longer it takes for you to process your claim, the more likelihood is that they have roots here. they suddenly have a family . how roots here. they suddenly have a family. how do made roots here. they suddenly have a family . how do made someone have family. how do made someone have a family they're trapped in a family if they're trapped in a pnson a family if they're trapped in a prison and out, all prison barge and you go out, all of a sudden they're not. they're not pnson of a sudden they're not. they're not prison bars not trapped in prison bars because be illegal to because it would be illegal to put them in prison. they are on a they can come and a barge where they can come and go they're hotels where go or they're in hotels where they come and go. what they can come and go. what happens is the longer that you are some for are here, some times for two, three years, of you get three years, of course you get then local roots and then it's much harder to take people away. you say you were you know, to say you were illegitimately because you illegitimately here because you have claims .

have got legitimate claims. whereas process people whereas if you process people quickly, fairly , sometimes not quickly, fairly, sometimes not even in the uk, my view is there should be a processing centre in france. so you say to people, oh, arrived here in oh, you've arrived here in britain, terribly sorry. the processing centre's in processing centre's back in calais. put on the calais. we'll put you on the coach, next coach and we'll coach, the next coach and we'll take processing and take you to the processing and all and free. and that all fair and free. and that processing should happen in a matter weeks or months. matter of weeks or months. i really do not understand it really do not understand how it takes that because really do not understand how it takes the that because really do not understand how it takes the evidencehat because really do not understand how it takes the evidence ist because really do not understand how it takes the evidence is not cause really do not understand how it takes the evidence is not being often the evidence is not being gathered. just there aren't gathered. it's just there aren't enough people to process these things. then can say to things. and then you can say to people i think people fairly, i think the british want fairness british people want fairness and also they to be also they don't want to be spending million a day. we spending £8 million a day. we certainly barges and certainly don't barges and hotels, a complete hotels, which is a complete waste money. waste of money. >> don't. i am very >> we certainly don't. i am very grateful for time covering grateful for your time covering a topics there. it is a range of topics there. it is much appreciated. thank you very, very much. seriously. lloyd our is lloyd russell—moyle, our mp is labour brighton. thank lloyd russell—moyle, our mp is lab(very, brighton. thank lloyd russell—moyle, our mp is lab(very, very brighton. thank lloyd russell—moyle, our mp is lab(very, very muchton. thank lloyd russell—moyle, our mp is lab(very, very much . n. thank lloyd russell—moyle, our mp is lab(very, very much . just1ank you very, very much. just a reminder , just giving.com/page reminder, just giving.com/page fonnard slash gb news poppy is the email address that you can go and donate a little bit as well. and i'll say a little bit.

clarify his party's position on calling for a ceasefire or not calling for a ceasefire or not calling for a ceasefire or not calling for a ceasefire with israel regarding hamas and mark has the very latest for us because let's be honest, keir starmer is desperately trying to fight fires all over the place here. we've got councillors resigning. we've apparently resigning. we've got apparently rumblings of people on the front benches quitting as well. mark, what latest ? what is the latest? >> well, it's certainly possible that there could be more in the way of sort of response to keir starmer's speech today in terms of perhaps resignation from the shadow cabinet. he is sticking to his guns, though he is not calling for a ceasefire. he is calling for a ceasefire. he is calling for a humanitarian, pauses to allow more in the way of aid trucks into gaza. now he clarified his position on a ceasefire. he gave his most detailed argument for the reason why we shouldn't have a ceasefire today . but he said ceasefire today. but he said that a ceasefire would

effectively freeze the situation in terms of both the idf and hamas . so in other words, hamas hamas. so in other words, hamas would still have the capabilities that it currently has. now we know these capable parties are still very significant because the israeli defence forces are coming under very significant fire in northern gaza as we speak . and northern gaza as we speak. and in fact, the latest breaking news is that two israeli soldiers have been killed and another two have been seriously injured in that fighting. elsewhere multiple rocket attacks throughout israel, in fact, pretty much every hour we get a new rocket attack. two major attacks on tel aviv today and on ashdod in southern israel as well, where four people were injured , one of them very injured, one of them very seriously injured . so the hamas seriously injured. so the hamas group still has the capabilities. and what sophia starmer was arguing is that if

you if you call for a ceasefire, they will see this as a victory . they will see this as a victory. they will still have that capability . they will regroup capability. they will regroup and they will attack israel again. so israel is no safer, no better off. the only proper solution for israel is to deal with hamas at the moment to have these humanitarian pauses to get as much help to the civilian population as possible. and so keir starmer says give guarantees that there will be no long term displacement of the palestinian people. a thought that that sends shivers down the spines of palestine is instead a guarantee that they will be allowed back into gaza once the fighting is over and a recommitment he wants to look further down the road. he admits . but to look at the possibility of some kind of agreement at around a two state solution , around a two state solution, however far off that might . be

however far off that might. be >> absolutely. now, look, mark, quickly , just on the latest from quickly, just on the latest from paris, because police shot a lady who was on a radicalisation list. was she what happened ? list. was she what happened? >> well, an indication of certainly the real concern about the likelihood of terror attacks. this woman who was clad in a burqa had gone on to the train system from eastern paris into the city. some people had called the police because she was making threats, shouting allahu akbar, shouting slogans about palestine and threatening to blow herself up. when the police arrived , she didn't obey police arrived, she didn't obey their instructions and was shot multiple times. she is critically injured and the police say she was on a radicalisation watch list. we should also say one more piece of breaking news. the fbi director has said that the threat to western nations from the current conflict in terms of

a terror attack is greater now than it has been since the rise of isis some ten years ago . okay of isis some ten years ago. okay >> okay, mark, look, thank you very , very much. concerning very, very much. concerning stuff indeed . mark white, our stuff indeed. mark white, our security editor, is with us in tel aviv, especially when it comes to the fbi. they're saying that the terror threat is indeed increasing and something that rishi sunak has saying to rishi sunak has been saying to us our streets as well. us about our streets as well. now this is a very, very weird and frankly , disgusting and frankly, quite disgusting story. having a story. so if you're having a dinner, but dinner, i apologise. but palestine protesters, pro—palestine protesters threw a box full of spray painted mice into a mcdonald's in birmingham , into a mcdonald's in birmingham, which i understand that we are now showing you some footage of quite terrifying things. customers at a birmingham mcdonald's branch are absolutely stunned , as you would be, to be stunned, as you would be, to be fair, because this box of mice was thrown into that they were spray painted red, white and green, which of course, is the colour of the palestinian flag.

so making quite an entrance there. that footage is in emerged on social media. the video was entitled enjoy your rat burgers . they're not rats. rat burgers. they're not rats. so aside from being disgusting, it's also factually inaccurate. but yeah, they're saying that it's because mcdonald's is supporting israel. so that's the level we're at in this country. everybody makes you makes you proud , doesn't it? there we go. proud, doesn't it? there we go. right. i've got loads more coming after the news. coming your way after the news. make sure you stay tuned. and yes we of course, here in yes, we are, of course, here in brighton money the brighton raising money for the royal legion. are up royal british legion. we are up to. let me have a quick chat before i throw you over your before i throw you over to your bulletins. staggering bulletins. £138,823. staggering stuff. amazing scenes. thank you. it's just .com you. it's just giving .com fonnard fonnard slash fonnard slash page fonnard slash gb news. poppy, it's all for the royal british legion. it's all for a great cause. it's to all show that we are proud of being british and proud of our armed forces. so you very, very forces. so thank you very, very much. right now your much. but right now it's your headunes. headlines. >> patrick, thank you very much.

community tensions. it's amazing, isn't it? doesn't it always appear to be so often groups of people giving way for others? or why can't you have that christmas market? oh, because there's a there's a threat there. why can't you say, oh, don't want to stoke oh, you don't want to stoke racial tensions? or why can't i put post up? we've got to put this post up? we've got to ease community tensions. well hang minute. why can't we hang on a minute. why can't we just about lives just go about our lives like normal and neville normal people? and mike neville joins now. ex metropolitan joins me now. ex metropolitan police . thank police detective. mike, thank you very are we easing you very much. why are we easing community tensions and not just allowing posters of missing children on in children to be put on walls in britain ? britain? >> i have no idea, patrick, as to why this is happening. the posters don't contain any sort of hateful message . as of hateful message. as i understand it, they have a picture of a child and this child is missing . and i'd like child is missing. and i'd like to know what consultation took place because surely if the police are saying these posters are stoking racial tension ans then they would have had a meeting with the local imam, say, for example, or the local rabbi, the local christian vicars or whatever, and discuss

this or community leaders. but i don't think this has happened. it would seem to be officers doing this off their own bat . it doing this off their own bat. it doesn't seem to be sort of an organised thing, is this is somebody doesn't seem to be anything organised by a senior officer . and as you've noticed, officer. and as you've noticed, if those pictures were of palestinian children, which it was claimed that the israeli forces had dragged away and held hostage , would be, would the hostage, would be, would the police be removing them? i suggest they would not. oh, no , suggest they would not. oh, no, no, they absolutely wouldn't . no, they absolutely wouldn't. >> they absolutely wouldn't. and we are seeing what many people regard as being police in action around the country at the moment , whether it's people climbing onto monuments , letting off onto monuments, letting off flares. you know, frankly, i'm a bit sick and tired of seeing the met police, especially really put pictures up of someone holding a sign with complete racism on there or terrible words on there, or people chanting things about jihad words on there, or people

chanting things aboutjihad and muslim armies on the streets of britain. and police telling britain. and the police telling us look, don't worry, us that, look, don't worry, everybody. had specially us that, look, don't worry, everybcofficershad specially us that, look, don't worry, everybcofficers on specially us that, look, don't worry, everybc officers on theecially us that, look, don't worry, everybcofficers on the scene trained officers on the scene and what you thought you saw and heard there wasn't what heard there wasn't quite what you and heard that we all you saw and heard that we all know what's on. why are know what's going on. why are the getting involved the police not getting involved when they do get involved, they're posters. they're tearing down posters. why are they why are they so afraid of one group of people? do think? do you think? >> i don't think fear at >> i don't think it's fear at all. patrick i think it's a it's all. patrick i think it's a it's a real consequence of who they've recruited over many years. and so the senior police officers are part of this liberal left blob that you see in every part of government and even in some commercial industries where it's been wokeism as a sort of taken over. so what you find and i've said this several, several times, that if you have groups who are supporting, say, a fashionable liberal left cause, like black lives matter , extinction lives matter, extinction rebellion palestinian, pro—palestinian groups or people who go to the notting hill carnival, they'll be policed in a very different way than

anti—vaxxers. christian preachers who appear at some lgbt event, or millwall football fans, you know? so if you're a if you go to one place and if you act in the same way, it's a different at a different event, you'll be policed very, very differently. and that is unacceptable in britain, i would suggest. okay mark, put you put you put your police uniform back on for me for one last hurrah because i want us to have a look ahead to a couple of weeks time , ahead to a couple of weeks time, which is going to be remembrance sunday. >> of course, it's saturday. actually, that is the 11th of november. it's one of the key reasons i'm here in brighton trying to raise money for the royal british legion. so far, £140,000 has been donated, just giving .com fonnard slash page , giving .com fonnard slash page, fonnard slash gb news poppy, i can see something coming a mile off and i'm absolutely certain that everybody else can as well, which is protests around the cenotaph on the saturday and it

all kicks off and then we have something on the sunday as well. what are the police need to do, do you think, to get involved and get in amongst that and stop that from happening? because i know that there are a lot of people there right now who people out there right now who would mortally offended by would feel mortally offended by the having protests with the idea of having protests with a foreign let's be a lot of foreign flags. let's be honest, raising hoisted near the cenotaph around that kind of that time of period of remembrance . remembrance. >> well, i'm with you, patrick. i'm a fifth generation soldier . i'm a fifth generation soldier. all my family have been soldiers in fact, one of my great grandfather was fighting the ottoman empire in palestine. and so all these you know, it's a real thing for me. but what i think the police should be doing, of course, is putting a barrier up . either it's easy to barrier up. either it's easy to block off whitehall or to make sure that people don't get down there. when i was a young policeman, the you had things like the national front trying to get to the cenotaph. now the police were very good at getting

rid front, so rid of the national front, so they should be good at they should be very good at getting other people. so getting rid of other people. so there's enough resources in the metropolitan to block off metropolitan police to block off whitehall everybody whitehall and verify everybody who comes through, because as you say, to protest there would be grave insult to the memory be a grave insult to the memory of the sacrifice of those men and women who died for the country . country. >> it would be insulting. it would absolutely be insulting. and very concerning. what we've seen in paris at the moment, police shooting somebody who appears to have been on a watch watchlist over there and rishi sunak coming out and warning people about a terror threat over here as well. mike, thank you very much. mike neville, there is ex—met police there is an ex—met police detective just having a look at some of our some of the actions of our police at the moment. police force at the moment. quietly now just giving.com/page, fonnard slash gb donations gb news, poppy, the donations are still flooding in. rich has given £5 is an excellent initiative thank you very much and we've got patricia who says well done give him £40 loads of people throwing whatever they can at this particular course to

actually heard before. he actually heard before. he actually quotes kid from his mother's diary back from in 1952. of course, it's queen elizabeth ii who arrived in kenya as a princess and left as queenin kenya as a princess and left as queen in 1952. and he said he was deeply moved to read the queen's diary. and in that, queen's diary. and in that, queen elizabeth ii said she didn't want to miss a moment of kenya's extraordinary landscape . kenya's extraordinary landscape. king charles also said that he he wanted to thank the people of kenyan kenya for their support , kenyan kenya for their support, that during the extremely difficult time for the queen in 1952, when she became queen elizabeth ii. and he also talks about conservation. he jokes about conservation. he jokes about the number of trees he'd planted over his royal career. but but as expected, he did acknowledge the more painful times of kenya and britain's shared history. so let me just read you what he said. king charles said in the last few minutes, we must acknowledge the more painful times of our long and complex relations ukip the

wrongdoings of the past are a cause of the greatest sorrow and greatest regret . they were greatest regret. they were abhorrent and unjustifiable acts of violence committed against kenyans as they waged their struggle for independence. and for that there can be no excuse matters. it matters greatly to me that i should deepen my own understanding of these wrongs and that i meet some of those whose lives and communities were so grievously affected. none of this can change the past. but by addressing our history with honesty and openness, we can perhaps demonstrate the strength of our friendship. today and in so doing, we can, i hope, continue to build an even closer bondin continue to build an even closer bond in the years ahead. that is what king charles iii, said to the people of kenya during his speech at the state banquet in the last few minutes. you will notice, though, he speaks of his deep and regret . what he deep sorrow and regret. what he doesn't do is offer a full formal apology for the wrongs carried out by british rulers in

the 1950s to 1960, where it's estimated 90,000 kenyans were either killed, tortured or maimed by british rulers for their parts in opposing british rule. that is according to the kenyan human rights watch. it's understood that the british government still is by not offering a full apology for acts offering a full apology for acts of sorry for not offering a full apology for acts we shouldn't have to offer a full apology for acts of governments, sorry, colonial governments history. i'm told you have to hand back to patrick. sorry patrick, back to patrick. sorry patrick, back to you . to you. >> cameron. thank you very, very much . that's cameron walker much. that's cameron walker there, our royal correspondent, keeping you abreast of the king in kenya. now, i've just got time just got time to introduce my final guest. and it's patrick benham, crosswell, who is a former british army officer and author. you very, very author. thank you very, very much for joining author. thank you very, very much forjoining me, patrick. look, we are now closing in on the end of this show and we have
