back over to. patrick >> our top story this hour, the security and policing challenge in the uk as tensions rise over the gaza war. we've now had a third mice attack on a mcdonald's in birmingham after a masked gang of pro—palestine activists hurled rodents at the restaurant in protest at the fast food chain's alleged support for israel . i know it is support for israel. i know it is weird, but let's have a look and a listen. hi, dave. >> look at this . they've just >> look at this. they've just drop these off in mcdonald's or these rats in mcdonald's . oh, my these rats in mcdonald's. oh, my days of . black look at that . days of. black look at that. give give me someone you just took that in. yeah . oh, my.

took that in. yeah. oh, my. >> yeah. like i said, it's the third such attack that we are seeing. if you're listening to us on radio, i mean, it is quite straightfonnard , actually. it's straightfonnard, actually. it's a load of mice thrown into a mcdonald's, followed mcdonald's, but it followed a similar earlier this similar incident earlier this week where customers were left screaming what screaming in shock after what appears a pro—palestine appears to be a pro—palestine activist horde of activist unleashing a horde of mice painted red green , white mice painted red green, white and black into another birmingham mcdonald's. and black into another birmingham mcdonald's . and last birmingham mcdonald's. and last night, commuters at liverpool street station disrupted by street station were disrupted by a group of pro—palestinian activists who staged a sit in calling for an immediate ceasefire in the israel hamas conflict. meanwhile, man rochester police has apologised after its officers removed israel hostage posters saying they'd , quote, got it wrong . they'd, quote, got it wrong. well, quite a lot to go out here and i know what i'm thinking about this. my stuff, which is for the effort that you've gone to source hundreds of mice and then paint the mice and then drive to a mcdonald's and lob them into a mcdonald's, maybe you could put that effort into

getting a job. but gb news reporter jack carson now joins us from birmingham . i'm not us from birmingham. i'm not surrounded by mice, which is good, but why are you there? and what's going on? >> well, patrick, last night, this small heath mcdonald's became the third in all of these protests to be hit by these mice. protest sites. it was late into the evening where men , into the evening where men, masked men walked into that mcdonald's with a box with mice and seemed to head almost charged towards the counter . in charged towards the counter. in the video that's been posted around social media. and they then threw that box of mice on then threw that box of mice on the counter at staff behind the counter. and of course, on the floor around it is, of course, those mice then had to scuttle around and as they then left with their palestine flags, shouting such as such as shouting phrases such as such as free palestine, as well. but it's not of course, it's not the first mcdonald's that has happened. and the looks happened. and by the looks of things now that this is things as well, now that this is spreading around country, it spreading around the country, it

might last either of might not be the last either of course, reports just half course, we had reports just half an ago of that last night an hour ago of that last night in keighley in bradford, a mcdonald's there in a starbucks had also been hit by protests that mcdonald's, particularly the is reported that stick insects were in fact thrown at the at the staff and at the customers in that mcdonald's . so customers in that mcdonald's. so this is all part of a boycott from these community campaigners , these pro—palestine campaign owners within the community. they spread these ideas around on social media. and these have now been taking place across the country. they are because they say mcdonald's in israel has been supplying idf soldiers with free meals. they offer members of different security forces 50% discount in israel if they come independently to one of their branches. now the mcdonald's corporation, global say that thatis corporation, global say that that is a franchise decision. thatis that is a franchise decision. that is not the decision of the company overall, but on those attacks last night in keighley in bradford, there , mp robbie

in bradford, there, mp robbie moore has come out on twitter a few moments ago saying that he was sickened by last night's attacks of vandalism and intimidation, which he says were carried out in his community. he they say the smashing of the windows at keighley, starbucks and and the vile and mcdonald's and the vile attempts intimidate staff and attempts to intimidate staff and customers pathetic, customers were pathetic, cowardly and disgraceful acts. and just in the last few moments, we have had a statement from west yorkshire police who say that the police bradford say that the police in bradford investigating those three incidents damage, incidents of criminal damage, that they have arrested a man in his 20s. they say in relation to one of the incidents and they say enquiries are ongoing with bradford . district police chief bradford. district police chief inspector wood of bradford inspector paul wood of bradford district police said that they are aware of those videos circulating on social media and they say that they are understandably distressed to those locally and they have they have out more officers have brought out more officers in that local area to try and reassure the community. now it seems to be birmingham, where these mice attacks are happening , that those specific attacks,

of course , have not spread of course, have not spread elsewhere in the country. but keighley is a different kind of attack that attack on that starbucks, course, starbucks, of course, is criminal damage. it's vandalism that those the people in those videos were doing smashing those glass panes. so that is a different kind of protest. we know in bristol there was protests gathered outside the mcdonald's . and so there's lots mcdonald's. and so there's lots of different community protests that all around of different community protests thaicountry all around of different community protests thaicountry . all around of different community protests thaicountry . as all around of different community protests thaicountry . as i all around of different community protests thaicountry . as i mentioned,i the country. as i mentioned, it's not mcdonald's. it's it's not just mcdonald's. it's starbucks and also disney as well some of these well globally. some of these corporations that are that these pro—palestine protesters are boycotting . boycotting. >> yeah. jack, thank you very much for that. look out. try not to get get most mice mouse , to get get most mice mouse, maybe. i don't know. anyway, thank you very, very much. jack carson . it's ridiculous, carson there. it's ridiculous, isn't . it? carson there. it's ridiculous, isn't. it? i mean, what did you do to help the plight of palestinian people? well, i went into a mcdonald's, the bucket load of mice and painted them in the colours of initially what many people was the many people thought was the italian turned out

italian flag. but it turned out to the palestinian to actually be the palestinian flag. brilliant. yeah. well flag. so brilliant. yeah. well done, stuff. done, chaps. lovely stuff. anyway, gb news security editor mark joins us live mark white joins us live now from aviv. mark thank you from tel aviv. mark thank you very much. great to have you. right the top of the show . right at the top of the show. and mark's going to be telling us a little bit about some of theissues us a little bit about some of the issues that the police, of course, are facing on the streets britain here. but streets of britain here. but he's telling us he's also going to be telling us about of the latest when about some of the latest when it comes potentially being comes to brits potentially being blocked exiting the gaza blocked from exiting the gaza strip. mark >> yeah, i mean, in terms of the problems that are being faced back in the uk, i think it was inevitable . well, as the inevitable. well, as the pictures continue to come out of gaza and they are horrific and disturbing, there is no doubt about it, it will trigger many people who are very concerned about what is unfolding there and what you have though, is those people who are concerned that they want to turn out in the vast numbers that they did,

obviously, over the weekend with many, many thousands turning up in london for that protest. they are now being supplemented, if you like, by these activist groups and these activist groups are bringing a sort of an organisation to what is happening and that's why you're seeing direct action protests that are taking place around the country. and they will continue they will find new target s they've got mcdonald's, they've got starbucks. they will find others who they believe are being pro—israel and they will find themselves as targets in the weeks and days ahead , the weeks and days ahead, obviously. and so it's going to be increasingly difficult, i think, for law enforcement across the uk to be able to respond to that in quick time. and many of the general public are going to be caught up in that. you saw in liverpool

street last night the many thousands of activists and protests , those who then staged protests, those who then staged that sit in in liverpool street , that sit in in liverpool street, that's going to cause the same kind of disruptions that you see from the likes of just stop oil now. >> absolutely. and we're going to be having a chat shortly anyway about whether or not the police have taken sides, whether it's fair to say that they have got very difficult but got a very difficult job, but especially comes to some especially when it comes to some of things that we're of the things that we're seeing in the moment. but in britain at the moment. but but you are or but back where you are or near where you anyway, mark, where you are anyway, mark, brits are in gaza at the moment. and the rafah crossing has opened. but we understand that maybe some of the brits are not getting out. is that right? what's going on? well it's open, but in a limited and controlled way, both israel and egypt wanted real reassure forces that secured city would be maintained that you won't have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people spilling over the border into egypt.

>> from egypt's point of view, israel, too, want guarantees that aid coming in is not going to hamas. and also those going out are not hamas terrorists. so it's been a long and a complicated process to get to this stage. but we are there now and over the coming days, there will be this controlled exit of foreign and dual national citizens . ions so 500 were told citizens. ions so 500 were told today, including , we believe, a today, including, we believe, a couple of british ngos, some other british nationals turned up at the border but realised their names not on the list. and they will be called on another day. it's frustrating and of course frightening for them still being stuck in the midst of all of this unfolding in gaza. but the foreign office assures us that hopefully within the coming days, all british nationals that want to leave will be able to leave elsewhere. further north in the gaza strip,

patrick, it's horrific what is unfolding . lots of casualties. unfolding. lots of casualties. the idf as well, reporting today that 15 soldiers so far have been killed in the fighting. they expected it to be long and and that is indeed what is unfolding. and there's a lot of recriminations that are taking place about the strike on the jabalia refugee camp . well, the jabalia refugee camp. well, the israelis say they were actually targeting hamas terrorists in and around that camp, using people in the camp as human shields, putting up underground tunnel entrances , their weapons tunnel entrances, their weapons storage facilities, and also headquarters for the jabalia division of hamas. they killed his commander, but a lot of collateral damage, obviously , collateral damage, obviously, with a very significant death toll from members of the public there. civilians caught up in this. mark thank you very much.

>> mark white, our security editor who is in tel aviv for us. it's worth noting as well that hamas official ghazi hamad has gone on television and said , has gone on television and said, and we will repeat the october 7th attack time and again until israel is annihilated . we are israel is annihilated. we are victims. everything we do is justified. and we have people ready to be martyrs. so i wonder whether or not that clears up for some people all about the need to annihilate hamas . but need to annihilate hamas. but closer to home here now, we have seen police officers tearing down posters for missing jewish children and other people as well , adults, jewish adults. and well, adults, jewish adults. and we've also seen not a lot being done about 100 or so more people sitting in and protesting in liverpool street station in london. liverpool street station is of particular significance , is of particular significance, which i refuse to believe went unnoficed which i refuse to believe went unnoticed by the people who were doing this was that it was the arrival site of the kindertransport , which was a kindertransport, which was a scene where a load of jewish

refugees came after the war and the statues to that outside was that just a tone deaf mistake , that just a tone deaf mistake, do we think, from some of these alleged pro—palestinian protesters and demonstrators , or protesters and demonstrators, or was that a deliberate location on because of what it represented in terms of refuge for jewish people, the police have said that when it came to taking down the posters as their representative went on and spoke about what went on in manchester and said that they got that wrong, they responded to a call, okay, well, if you had a call from somebody saying, i'm offended by that particular poster and you send police officers and those police officers and those police officers that down, what officers take that down, what about some people in certain communities here who are offended by people holding up signs fully support signs saying, i fully support hamas or they're driving through jewish neighbourhoods with the palestinian . and when palestinian flag on it. and when you offended about you say you're offended about that, turn up in that, do the police turn up in the way? i'm not sure. the same way? i'm not sure. former royal navy warfare officer chris joins us officer dr. chris parry joins us now. chris, the police now. dr. chris, the police haven't incredibly difficult

job. absolute job. there can be absolute lutely, doubt about that . is lutely, no doubt about that. is it starting look like they've it starting to look like they've taken though ? taken sides, though? >> okay. i'm going to speak as a citizen, not as a former naval officer . officer. >> okay. i think the problem is that the police do have a difficult job. and i think they've probably said , look, we they've probably said, look, we need to deescalate some of these big mob events . that's because big mob events. that's because we could have more violence, we could have more offences being committed if we confronted it. so i think they've taken the line of least resistance. they've almost said that on social media. they said they're looking for offences, you know, after the event than after the event rather than while taking place. and i'm while it's taking place. and i'm afraid the message is going out that if you want to commit offences in this country, you go mob handed. we've seen in the united states, if you go in a mob and shoplift, nobody stops you. and it seems to me that if you. and it seems to me that if you go in large numbers of people a crowd, nobody's people in a crowd, nobody's going to stop you committing offences which are against the law. >> yeah . how do you think

>> yeah. how do you think though, that people will feel when they see the police taking down posters and not doing much about people sitting in at a venue where the kindertransport first came where, you know, jewish children and refugees were arriving and giving safe refuge in this country. it is well, frankly, to me, i find it hard to believe that they will behave the same way if things were the other way around. >> well, it's distasteful and i think getting real two think we're getting real two tier policing here. >> the fact of life is, if you're taking down posters of people who are being held hostage by a terrorist organisation , then then you are organisation, then then you are supporting the actions of that terrorist organisation . terrorist organisation. >> then by denying those hostages publicity. >> similarly at liverpool street station, i was there last night. it was impossible to move across. i saw disabled people unable to get to their trains because of this performative narcissism by these people and i think , you know, as you saw with think, you know, as you saw with the mice, we've got everything

going. their cruelty against animals, disrupting the public, disrupting our infrastructure . disrupting our infrastructure. and, you know, we've got a country that needs to get back on its feet. we need to be productive. and we've got all these idle hands with nothing better to do than to mess up other people's lives. better to do than to mess up oth it's eople's lives. better to do than to mess up oth it's feeding lives. better to do than to mess up oth it's feeding itself this is >> it's feeding itself this is the thing. and you're right, actually, jen, genuinely right to cruelty to to mention about the cruelty to animals side it. i getting animals side of it. i getting a lot about this, you lot of emails about this, you know, the animal know, where are the animal rights you know, i was rights groups? you know, i was kind scoffing at it before kind of scoffing at it before just purely because i find it ridiculous, it's ridiculous, right? it's not because appreciate the because i don't appreciate the gravity just gravity of the situation. i just find someone find it ludicrous that someone would going to would think, i'm going to release load of mice would think, i'm going to rele.ae load of mice would think, i'm going to rele.a mackey's. load of mice would think, i'm going to rele.a mackey's. i mean, mice would think, i'm going to rele.a mackey's. i mean, what into a mackey's. i mean, what what's a job. but what's the point? get a job. but the is that these mice are the fact is that these mice are now actually genuinely it's cruelty to animals. hit now actually genuinely it's cru(nail.o animals. hit now actually genuinely it's cru(nail on nimals. hit now actually genuinely it's cru(nail on the als. hit now actually genuinely it's cru(nail on the head. hit now actually genuinely it's cru(nail on the head. it's hit the nail on the head. it's called these animals as well. look, you very look, dr. chris, thank you very much. to you again much. i will talk to you again very this chris very soon on this dr. chris parry there, coming on to parry there, who's coming on to talk about the police talk to us about the police response or lack of in some situations come. and situations still to come. and update court battle situations still to come. and upstop court battle situations still to come. and upstop asylum court battle situations still to come. and upstop asylum seekersrt battle situations still to come. and upstop asylum seekers beingle to stop asylum seekers being housed former raf housed on the former raf scampton site. have we got a

breakthrough there? find out shortly. patrick christys. gb news britain's news channel .

sunday mornings from 930 on gb news . news. >> we welcome back. >> we welcome back. >> it's 327. you're watching or listening to me. patrick christys on gb news whether it's on your telly, online or your radio. now still to come, a new report claims that police are failing to investigate hate speech against white people. and

the king's state visit to kenya. was he right to express his deepest regrets for britain's colonial past? mixed reviews in the gb news inbox. for that, i'll try and read a couple of those out shortly. but it's day two of a high court hearing into government plans house asylum government plans to house asylum seekers military seekers at former military airfields . west lindsey airfields. so west lindsey district council argues that a decision to use land at raf scampton, where the famous dambusters were based during world war ii, unlawful . we're world war ii, is unlawful. we're going to go to our east midlands. reporter will hollis, who scampton for us now. who is at scampton for us now. well, thank you very much. okay. so what's going on where you are? there >> yes. well, where we are right now, this is the same place that protesters have been for the last seven months, ever since robert jenrick. the immigration minister announced in the house of commons that this was their answer for solving the problem with hotels and £8 million a day. currently being spent on hotels to house asylum seekers instead they want to use raf

scampton and wethersfield to house thousands of arrivals . i house thousands of arrivals. i hope it's not as noisy down in the high court in london as it is here at raf scampton . you've is here at raf scampton. you've got the a15, a very busy road, but what you'll be able to hear in the background is lots of people showing their support. they're going be popping they're to going be popping their and you'll in their horns and you'll see in their horns and you'll see in the background that the background the people that have for the last few have been here for the last few months waving their flags because they're because they say they're not going anywhere, matter what going anywhere, no matter what happens judicial review. happens in the judicial review. what argument essentially what the argument is essentially from is that they from the council is that they think the home office is breaking law using something breaking the law using something called class q in a wrong manner. the class q is essentially emergency measures that can be used for crown land, which is government owned land, which is government owned land, which scampton and wethersfield is. they say that it is an emergency like the home office is saying that it is the home office say that they're only going to be using this land for a short period of time. so it is an emergency . it's still

an emergency. it's still a couple more hours until the end of the high court's judicial review. we're going to hear a little bit more about what's been said in greater detail today. but it's worth reminding you of why these people take this so seriously. there is a couple of points that i've been heanng couple of points that i've been hearing people. one that hearing from people. one is that there a £300 million there is a £300 million regeneration on the table and that was in place just before it was announced that asylum seekers could be coming here to use the facilities for that. instead, what essentially that is, is aerospace tech , energy is, is aerospace tech, energy investment, the preservation of dambuster heritage for generations to come. the second thing that local people are raising is their concern for safety, whether it's appropriate or not, to feel concerned for safety, whether it's reasonable or not, to feel concerned for safety when you've got asylum seekers moving in. i'm sure refugee refugee charities would say that it is not reasonable. a lot of these people are coming from war torn countries like iraq and syria, and we have an obugafion iraq and syria, and we have an obligation to look after them.

as i say, whether it's reasonable or unreasonable , the reasonable or unreasonable, the fear that these people feel is a very real fear , real feeling. very real fear, real feeling. and so that's why they're outside of the protest, outside of the front gates protesting, because this is something that is playing on their minds. because this is something that is playing on their minds . and is playing on their minds. and right changing their right now it's changing their lives. patrick well, you lives. patrick well, thank you very, much . very, very much. >> issue that a lot of our >> an issue that a lot of our viewers and listeners care deeply about. were there deeply about. and we were there from with scampton. from the start with scampton. we're going to let that we're not going to let that go. will us from will hollis there for us from outside and can outside scampton and you can hear the horns hear the twisting of the horns there, which i think does show you of support that you the level of support that they getting. a couple they are getting. just a couple of emails you, gb of quick emails for you, gb views loads of views and gbnews.com loads of people in touch about people getting in touch about this protest . that appears this mice protest. that appears to a new almost very to be a new craze almost very cruel these people, says cruel from these people, says bnan. cruel from these people, says brian . he cruel from these people, says brian. he just cruel from these people, says brian . he just doesn't brian. he just doesn't understand why these people are doing it. he thinks that it is kind of a tacit support for hamas. obviously, i'm sure those people will say , well, it's just people will say, well, it's just what might not. don't what they might not. i don't know. sure they would know. but i'm sure they would say just say that it's just pro—palestine, isn't it? and there distinction there. there is a distinction there.

british government's stance on all of this is that a modern day administration should not be legally liable for something committed by a british government 60 odd years ago. now it is true that around 90,000 kenyans were either executed, tortured or maimed during the mau mau uprising of the 1950s. it's also true that ten years ago the british government did pay ago the british government did pay out nearly £20 million to around 5000 kenyans who were caught up in that atrocity. and as far as the british government is concerned, they've drawn a line under it, which is why we didn't see the king offer a full apology yesterday. but clearly, there some descendants there are some descendants of those really those victims who are really angry hasn't done so. >> so. >> yeah, indeed . and it has >> yeah, indeed. and it has definitely divided gb news viewers. i'll get to the inbox on this shortly, but just to summarise, a couple of people saying they it was saying that they thought it was absolutely to absolutely right for him to reference of reference the mistakes of the past to, you know, past and try to, you know, express some sorrow for that and try and move things on repair relations. a couple of other people saying, well, well, why aren't in a way i don't really

are rights activists suppose maybe they are. where are comes rights activists suppose maybe they are. where are comes to;hts activists suppose maybe they are. where are comes to this, rctivists suppose maybe they are. where are comes to this, though? i when it comes to this, though? i also to seriously , we also want to know seriously, we have people far have these people not got far too time hands. too much time on their hands. you i was in some kind you know, if i was in some kind of whatsapp group and someone was very strongly was like, i feel very strongly about what shall do about this, what shall we do about this, what shall we do about this? and someone about this? and then someone floats. going to the floats. the idea of going to the effort of effort to procure hundreds of mice, them the mice, spray painting them the colour palestinian flag colour of the palestinian flag and then going to a mcdonald's of all places, and throwing them in think some point in there. i think at some point someone know someone might say, you know what, a life. but there we what, get a life. but there we go. vaiews@gbnews.com. keep those coming in. heck of those views coming in. heck of a lot. still come you, lot. still to come for you, though, because be though, because i will be speaking which i speaking about an issue which i think doesn't get enough attention. i think issue is attention. i think the issue is rising, it's slightly rising, even if it's slightly unfashionable to talk about in certain quarters. and it's the issue anti white hate crime. issue of anti white hate crime. okay. so apparently there's a new report which claims that police are failing to investigate speech against investigate hate speech against white people. i mean , how white people. i mean, how serious a problem is this really? patrick christys on gb news, we are britain's news channel .

me, michael portillo gb news britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> okay, now welcome back. it's patrick christys here on gb news. look, coming up, we will be finding out about these severe weather warnings in place with our reporters who are out and they've and about and hopefully they've not away by now. but not been swept away by now. but police failing to police are failing to investigate cases of hate speech against white people. a report by a free market think tank has said . the study institute said. the study by the institute of economic affairs said free

speech was being stifled by a surge in the number of hate crime investigations. so look what's going on here. here to pick through the noise is head of cultural affairs at the institute economic affairs. institute of economic affairs. it'5 . institute of economic affairs. it's . mark, it's mark glendinning. mark, great to have you on the show. thank much. look, thank you very, very much. look, talk what's going on talk us through what's going on here police, what are here then. so police, what are choosing not to investigate incidents of anti white hate crime? absolutely . crime? yes, absolutely. >> example, we had the >> so, for example, we had the labour party's former adviser on trans these issues as a trans model called monroe bergdorf, making overtly racist out accusations against white people . nothing happened about that . . nothing happened about that. >> we've had an academic professor of gopal at cambridge , professor of gopal at cambridge, george, coming out with equally overtly racist, obscene comments i >> we've had a student union official , al >> we've had a student union official, al bahar mustafa, saying kill all white men,

hashtag that. >> so that happens ? >> so that happens? >> so that happens? >> oh, yes, absolutely. >> oh, yes, absolutely. >> and the police took no action, right? >> so what we're seeing is the police are adopting an incredibly selective approach to who they will go after for using this onnellian concept of hate speech, which , of course, is speech, which, of course, is undefined in law . undefined in law. >> so the police define it following advice from the college of policing simply is exhibiting a unfriendliness towards a group , but they're towards a group, but they're turning a blind to eye certain by that metric you could actually apply that to football fans in a way, because , you fans in a way, because, you know, if you've got everton fans shouting things at liverpool fans, you know, at what point do the police that that's the police decide that that's hate goodness sake? the police decide that that's hat but goodness sake? the police decide that that's hat but from goodness sake? the police decide that that's hatbut from a goodness sake? the police decide that that's hat but from a much ness sake? the police decide that that's hat but from a much ness sserious >> but from a much more serious perspective it does perspective of i suppose it does tie in maybe an idea that you tie in maybe to an idea that you can't really be racist to white people, maybe, and the police . people, maybe, and the police. >> absolutely >> you're absolutely right. >> you're absolutely right. >> where, of course,

>> and this is where, of course, critical race theory comes in, which a racist dog doctrine which is a racist dog doctrine that, like black lives matter and other people have been advancing , which say exactly that. >> so, again, it's , you know, >> so, again, it's, you know, heads, we win , tails you lose. heads, we win, tails you lose. now, i believe as a free speech fundamentalist that we should all have the right to say whatever we want to say politically and that we should just discard this sinister concept of hate speech , which i concept of hate speech, which i think i should not be inhibited in what i say. and equally , i in what i say. and equally, i have no right to stop other people. >> i suppose the problem with that is, is that potentially some people are more easily offended than others and that the police are are more keen on policing their level of offence than they are about other groups of people potentially, which again is a is a, you know , if again is a is a, you know, if you go down that road, then you're actually saying that some

citizens in our society should not be treated as individuals, they should be treated as part of groups, identity groups , and of groups, identity groups, and they should have more rights than people are outside of than people who are outside of that group. >> that's a very dangerous >> now that's a very dangerous path a society to go down. path for a society to go down. it's going down the road of a kind of primitive tribalism. um, surely we should be trying to move away from that whereby we should be viewing each other simply as individuals and it's irrelevant what colour skin we have, what religion we have, how tall we are, which football team we support, or so on and so forth. we should just view each other as individuals who have exactly the same rights in law , exactly the same rights in law, law and the same rights to participate in democracy . and participate in democracy. and you can't have a functioning liberal democracy if you don't have total freedom of speech to express whatever other views you have about. >> so your response to it, correct me if i'm wrong here, your response to it would not be to prosecute more people for anti hate it would to prosecute more people for anito hate it would to prosecute more people for anito prosecute it would to prosecute more people for anito prosecute fewer it would to prosecute more people for anito prosecute fewer people jld to prosecute more people for anito prosecute fewer people for be to prosecute fewer people for all it?

all of it? >> absolutely. absolutely so free speech is a two way street and sometimes there will be things you don't like or i don't like these anti white racist comments any more than i approve of anti black racist comments or islamophobic comments. i simply don't believe the state should have the capacity to tell us what we can say. >> yeah , i think look, with >> yeah, i think look, with what's going on at the moment as well, we've seen a rise in anti semitism. we've also seen a rise in excuse me, in islamophobia keir starmer. by the way, we're coming on to this later has released a interesting video on anti—islamophobia month. apparently it's apparently it's a month now that we are about to engage in. so we'll get stuck into that. but thank you very much. tremendous to have on much. tremendous to have you on the so much. the show. thank you so much. fascinating when fascinating reading when it comes as as comes to that report, as well as mark glendinning. there is the head of cultural affairs at the institute affairs. institute of economic affairs. right. the weather. right. look now to the weather. as parts of newry in as large parts of newry in county down northern ireland

river, which is just down. so this street is basically where they merge and both of them burst their banks at the same time. and this part of newry called sugar island, was under water. now, last night i wouldn't have been able to stand here today. that is possible . here today. that is possible. water is now subsiding , but water is now subsiding, but there is further weather warnings in place. banbridge kilkeel. portadown are all there. rivers are under stress there. rivers are under stress there. the northern ireland river service are doing their very best to try and get that under control and it has to be said they have done a good job at this moment in time. nearly 12,000 sandbag bags have been shifted into the east of the province and we are suspecting that tomorrow we may get a bit of a break here. but friday we will probably get storm kieran with that. it will be hitting the south of england hitting us and an already sodden ground that could be a problem. now, if anybody is out in amongst these floods, be very careful .

the leaves are soaking wet. so it does mean that the trees at the moment are very heavy and they could topple very easily if there's a significant amount of wind. so we are expecting pretty substantial damage over night and into the morning. and i will be reporting from i'm north devon throughout the day tomorrow to let you know how things are progressing . things are progressing. >> well good luck that's what i say jeff thank you very, very much. as jeff there out much. as jeff moodie there out and about for us. right. i've got a heck of a lot coming your way. we are going to be speaking to the royal british legion in the next hour as well, because you wonderful people have managed a whopping managed to raise a whopping £160,832 for their poppy appeal. it'5 £160,832 for their poppy appeal. it's just giving.com/page fonnard slash gb news. poppy, great to see so many people out there. the patriotic majority, i'm calling them, showing their love for our veterans, for all that coming your way and much, much more as well, including the latest on the mice attacks at

reflective . the sort of reflective. the sort of unbelievably bullish we're going to be great at everything approach is not a smart mentality to have inside a government meeting . house prices government meeting. house prices increased by 0.9% in october, which experts say reflects the limited supply of properties on the market. >> nations guides market index showed an increase on last month's figures , though average month's figures, though average pnces month's figures, though average prices across the uk are down 3.3, compared to last year. the building society says market activity remains weak with the number of mortgages . approved in number of mortgages. approved in september down 30. amber weather warnings are in place for the south coast of england and parts of pembrokeshire in wales as storm kieran the uk. the storm kieran nears the uk. the met office says wind and rain could bring potential risk to life property . a red wind life and property. a red wind warning has been issued by jersey, met with gusts of almost 100mph expected parts of northern ireland have already been flooded due to heavy

>> look at this. they'll just drop these off in mcdonald's or these rats and mcdonald's . oh, these rats and mcdonald's. oh, my days of lax . my days of lax. >> i mean, to be fair, it is going to take a bucket load of mice a lot more than that to put me off eating a quarter pounder with cheese. but it followed a similar incident earlier this week where customers left week where customers were left screaming in shock after what appears to be a pro—palestine activist unleashing a horde of mice painted red, green and white and black as well into another burning mcdonald's. now, last night, commuters at liverpool street station were disrupted by a group of pro—palestinian activists who staged a sit in calling for an immediate ceasefire in the israel—hamas conflict. that station , for what it's worth, is station, for what it's worth, is the scene where jewish refugees initially came to britain after the second world war. now meanwhile, manchester police has apologised after its officers removed israel hostage posters saying they'd got it wrong. i think there is more of a story about why they did that in the

first place, to be honest with you. they had a few calls from people saying that were people saying that they were offended and then they offended by this and then they acted on it. well, do act acted on it. well, do they act on everything everyone's on everything that everyone's offended think so. offended by? i don't think so. we now to gb news we can go live now to gb news reporter jack carson , who joins reporter jack carson, who joins us from the scene of one of the air radical mice attacks that's taken place at the moment . and, taken place at the moment. and, jack, you have yet to be attacked by a bucket load of mice. not that i'm encouraging it, of course , although it would it, of course, although it would make fantastic telly. what's happening over there ? happening over there? >> yeah . good afternoon to you, >> yeah. good afternoon to you, patrick. so this is the small heath mcdonald's in birmingham. it'5 heath mcdonald's in birmingham. it's the third mcdonald's that was hit these mice attacks was hit in these mice attacks last night . a was hit in these mice attacks last night. a group of protesters , pro—palestine protesters, pro — palestine protesters, pro—palestine protesters in their masks, walked into the mcdonald's with with a with a box of mice, with palestine flags and shouting free palestine. they walked up to the counter and then threw that box of mice over the counter at the staff that were working behind the counter. and of course, then all over the

floor before then running out after days . in floor before then running out after days. in birmingham, the first was over at the star city retail and restaurant complex . retail and restaurant complex. that's the one, of course, where this incident first went viral with those videos. all over social media. now, the west midlands police are investigating those . that investigating those. that incident specifically . they are incident specifically. they are saying that that is a public nuisance offence and they are appealing for anybody with information about who, of course , the person might that is , the person might be that is responsible for those attacks. but are all coming because but these are all coming because of the pro—palestine protesters, particularly within social media groups, particularly within the community. this is certainly not a nationally organised method of protest against, of course it's against, of course , this this against, of course, this this israel hamas war. these are very much community based protests. but this is because in israel, the mcdonald's franchise in israel put out lots of statements on social media in the past few days in the past

weeks, saying that they've given out 100,000 meals to idf soldiers . they offer discounts soldiers. they offer discounts to people who are involved within the security forces up to 50% in some branches . so there's 50% in some branches. so there's calls for that being boycotted as well as, of course, other global chains such as starbucks and as well. and it's and disney as well. and it's starbucks that's been involved in the first kind, first attack on a starbucks in keighley in bradford last night. that was vandals attacked window panes with hammers there in keighley. they also attacked windows at the mcdonald's there. and also a similar to, of course, the mice. but now with sticking sticks chucking those at staff and customers in that restaurant in mcdonald's , in keighley. now, mcdonald's, in keighley. now, the mp for keighley, rob moore, has come out in the past couple of hours and tweeted saying that he is sickened by last night's acts of vandalism . um, and he acts of vandalism. um, and he says the vile attempts to intimidate staff and customers were pathetic , cowardly and were pathetic, cowardly and disgraceful acts . he also adds disgraceful acts. he also adds that these acts are completely

counterproductive and insult to all of those calling for peace in the middle east. now, he said that he had been in touch with the west yorkshire police in the past have released past hour. they have released a statement saying after those incidents last night they have arrested a man in his 205 in relation to one of those incidents and their enquiries are ongoing the bradford are ongoing with the bradford district . the chief district police. the chief inspector that force, paul inspector of that force, paul wood, said that we are aware of videos social videos circulating on social media they say these media and they say these incidents under standardly incidents are under standardly distressing to those locally . distressing to those locally. but thankfully no one was injured during these incidents. so of course the vandalism is a step up from very much what's been going on in different parts of the country, mainly, it seems here birmingham know here in birmingham, we know there a protest in bristol, there was a protest in bristol, but was just taking place but that was just taking place outside the mcdonald's. nobody actually that. actually went into that. mcdonald's, been mcdonald's, the mice has been an issue and issue here in birmingham. and now seems in keighley now it seems in keighley in bradford insects and also bradford stick insects and also acts of vandalism . acts of vandalism. >> yeah, it's just ridiculous . >> yeah, it's just ridiculous. john, thank you very much. jack carson there is outside a mcdonald's in birmingham where

people lobbed load of mice into it their condemnation of it to show their condemnation of the way that that franchise has support people on a different continent. the sheer effort that people have gone to procure . people have gone to procure. sure. a load of mice. i mean peter mcdonnell not to be confused, of course , for the confused, of course, for the mcdonald's franchise has been in touch. apart from the utter cruelty to the mice being spray painted where are they getting all i mean, it's a all the mice? i mean, it's a good question, peter, isn't it? you?i good question, peter, isn't it? you? i that raise you? i think that might raise a little suspicion. where little bit of suspicion. where why want mice? why do you want a thousand mice? but go. then they go but there we go. then they go and spray paint them the colours of the palestinian flag and then and spray paint them the colours of th drive estinian flag and then and spray paint them the colours of th drive toinian flag and then and spray paint them the colours of th drive to a an flag and then and spray paint them the colours of th drive to a mcdonald's, then they drive to a mcdonald's, presumably in their spare time, although they might not work, and in there and and then lob them in there and then whole thing then record the whole thing and show their if mate show their friends. if a mate of mine that video, i'd be mine sent me that video, i'd be like, you are just so sad. how tragic is that? what's point tragic is that? what's the point of no point of of it all? there is no point of it. but there is a more sinister undertone it, isn't as undertone to it, isn't there? as i'm about discuss. is i'm about to discuss. which is when everything when we piece everything together taking place

together that's taking place at the have stuff like the moment, we have stuff like that. we have vandalism , we have that. we have vandalism, we have police officers taking down posters of missing jewish citizens in numerous different locations . i think because locations. i think because they're responding to phone calls from people saying that they are offended by them. if i call the police every time i was offended by something, by the way, you know, they'd never solve single stabbing, were solve a single stabbing, were they? course, they? which of course, they're not places greater not doing in places like greater manchester or london anyway. so that then we've that ship has sailed. then we've got sitting in train got people sitting in train stations not any train stations, not just any train station, the station station, but the train station where refugees and jewish where jewish refugees and jewish children were brought during the war. there's a statue to that outside. that cannot be a coincidence , can it? we have coincidence, can it? we have people calling for jihad on the streets of britain. must armies, all of that stuff. the cenotaph being off every single being fenced off every single saturday now is like glastonbury for pro—palestinians and dare i say it in some pockets as well. and i say this because someone literally had a sign saying i fully hamas . people who fully support hamas. people who support . and when you support hamas. and when you picture this, you piece all of

this together, it does make you wonder, doesn't it, whether or not police taken a side not the police have taken a side here, this is very here, because this is now very much a national problem, a national problem. the editors of the jewish chronicle, jake wallis simons, joins me now. he says that the jewish community has been promised zero tolerance, hasn't been tolerance, but it hasn't been followed on the streets. followed through on the streets. do you feel as though the police have taken a side ? have taken a side? >> that's a big that's a big assertion , patrick. assertion, patrick. >> i mean, certainly when i met with the home secretary and the deputy met police commissioner in the first week of this conflict, both of them assured me zero tolerance, using the same the same phrase as the home secretary , i think cannot be secretary, i think cannot be blamed for this. she is the police are operationally independent from the home office. >> so i think it would be a mistake to lay this at her door. >> certainly with regard to >> but certainly with regard to the made some the police, they have made some arrests . arrests. >> but i do question some of the tolerance ice rather than zero tolerance. >> it seems like there's been quite a lot of tolerance flying

around from the police when it comes to policing these demonstrations. >> we've seen a lot of expressions of support for hamas , some of which have been been met with arrests, but most of which seems to me have not been . which seems to me have not been. and these protests have been organised by groups led by people in many cases with links themselves to hamas. >> many of them have met the hamas leadership in the past. >> it seems to me there's a strong argument for shutting down these protests. look, i'm not one to ban protests on the whole, but there are other ways, surely, to support the palestinians without calling for intifada, which is a campaign of suicide bombs. the like of which we've suffered in manchester. >> does feel and you >> yeah. so it does feel and you know, latest news about the know, the latest news about the police those those police taking down those those hostage pictures, you know , hostage pictures, you know, many, many of the hostage pictures , up to half of them pictures, up to half of them have been ripped down by activists. these are pictures of babies often women, children, old people who've been snatched from their homes by a terrorist group which employs methods of

brutality that are equal to isis and shares ideological origins with isis. >> can i ask you can i just ask you about this? yeah. what what do you make of so the police now have said that they were sorry and they got it wrong in greater manchester. so as i understand it, people called the police and said, we're offended by these posters. and the police decided to then proactively come and take them down and do you accept their apology . their apology. >> well, there are a lot of things that offend me, such as chanting for hamas. >> and that happens to be illegal as well. you know , and illegal as well. you know, and when people have reported that to the police , they've arrested to the police, they've arrested some people, not many. some people, but not as many. but been a lot of that but there's been a lot of that around . you know, this is not around. you know, this is not that's not a question actually of offence. that's a question of criminality. and, you know, i think look at the think that if you look at the way which the police has the way in which the police has the police officers have been conducting themselves in recent years, more and

years, they've become more and more we saw them more politicised. we saw them taking the knee for black lives matter . we've seen dancing matter. we've seen them dancing at at gay pride parades , at at gay pride parades, painting their uniforms, their helmets , their police cars in helmets, their police cars in rainbow colours while burglary is another crime, some more serious than others, but all criminality has been gone unsolved and often without police attention . and so the police attention. and so the politicisation of the police and the sort of activism that the police have been showing in recent years does cause people to lose confidence , i think. and to lose confidence, i think. and that's the context in which we look at these cops rip down pictures of jews who were taken hostage and we wonder whether this is an extension of that kind of activism, because let's face it, supporting the palestine cause and which has bled into supporting the hamas cause actually in some cases has become one of a suite of views on on gender, on race, on colonialism, on slavery, on sexuality that is held by many of the elites that run our

country. and so it does seem of a piece with that. absolutely >> and for a long time, the i think people have backed themselves into a corner over this quite a while ago, actually . and now they don't feel like they get out they they can get out because they use palestinian as some use the palestinian flag as some kind of fashion statement. and then see hamas running then now you see hamas running roughshod israel . the one roughshod over israel. the one of the chiefs of hamas, by the way, going on television yesterday and saying, we will repeat what we've done here. we will not stop doing this. it's our right to do it. and we're just going line up a load of just going to line up a load of martyrs and send them in there and continue to do so you and continue to do this. so you know, they stand know, that is where they stand on that hamas is on the idea that hamas is stopping any time soon is for on the idea that hamas is sto;birds.any time soon is for on the idea that hamas is sto;birds.any tthat'sron is for on the idea that hamas is sto;birds.any tthat's not 5 for on the idea that hamas is sto;birds.any tthat's not going the birds. and that's not going to people to happen. but i think people back into corner back themselves into a corner when this, the when it came to this, the political situation regarding israel and palestine and gaza, and they can't out of and now they can't get out of it. you piece together it. but when you piece together all the different separate all of the different separate instances place instances that are taking place right instances that are taking place fight go right across the country, we go from birmingham , see issues from birmingham, we see issues in we see issues in in manchester, we see issues in london. and culminates london. and this now culminates again in liverpool

again yesterday in liverpool street station, which is a massive arterial station in london. but also crucially in this context , the context that this context, the context that i'm convinced was not missed out by the people doing this sit in at that railway station . it was at that railway station. it was the site of the kindertransport , the site of the kindertransport, the site of the kindertransport, the arrival, which is when a lot of jewish refugees arrived dunng of jewish refugees arrived during world war ii. in fact, the statues commemorate waiting that outside. now that to me is a couple of things. massive undercurrent of anti—semitism and deliberately so which should be stopped . there is also surely be stopped. there is also surely be stopped. there is also surely be the crime there taking place of at least a public order offence where are the police on that ? well i offence where are the police on that? well i agree with you on the police . the police. >> on the police point, i mean, it's interesting that you mention that interview with the hamas leader yesterday because he the very he did make the point very revealingly in that interview where he said, you know, the problem is israel and you know, we are the victims here. you can't blame us for what we do . can't blame us for what we do. and it's that kind of victimhood

that's claimed hamas to that's claimed by hamas to excuse the most mediaeval barbed rmt and savagery and we see that reflected to some degree in the west, where victims hood is something people get behind and it warps people's moral judgement . it warps people's moral judgement. and we saw that in liverpool street with those pictures just showing there that that was organised by a feminist, ostensibly feminist group in defence of the palestinians , which were palestinians, which were represented most vividly by hamas in raping women, mute killing them , mutilating their killing them, mutilating their bodies. now to see feminists standing up for that sort of behaviour, they were chanting openly in support of the intifada. that's not a palestinian cause, that's a hamas terrorist cause . to see hamas terrorist cause. to see feminists doing that just shows how this moral inversion can take hold of people when victimhood is the kind of is the kind of plan it around, around which everything else orbits in their world. and i think it's an

outrageous state of affairs where the further progressive the more progressive you get, the more progressive you get, the more progressive you get, the more likely you are to support jihadism . support jihadism. >> yeah, yeah. a massive you know, i do sometimes enjoy the old lgbtq+ for palestine banners that you see and you just think, right. has anyone thought that through? but there we go. thank you very, very much. jake wallis simons is the editor of the jewish chronicle. now. jewish chronicle. right now. still reports still to come, there are reports that people are that british people are attempting escape from gaza attempting to escape from gaza have away from the have been turned away from the rafah crossing . so we're going rafah crossing. so we're going to be talking about all of that. we're also going to be discussing, course, gb discussing, of course, the gb news that now news poppy appeal that is now wants to raise 160 1500 pounds. thanks to you lovely lot. so thank you very, very much. justgiving.com fonnard slash page, fonnard slash gb news. poppy, page, fonnard slash gb news. poppy, i'm patrick christys. this is gb news and we are britain's news show

those is foreign nationals whose name was on the list have turned up to be let through the border . up to be let through the border. now, even though the remaining 180 or so didn't cross the border today, their name is on the list. so at some point, if they turn out, we're told they will still be allowed to go through once the appropriate checks have taken place . and checks have taken place. and yes, there are reports that a number of british nationals turned up at the rafah crossing that crossing into egypt from gaza today , but couldn't cross gaza today, but couldn't cross because their names weren't on the list. however for they have been told that clearly once their names are called, they'll be able to come fonnard and exit from gaza. at that point . the from gaza. at that point. the reason why this is a controlled and limited exercise is just around the security concerns. egypt doesn't want hundreds of thousands of people spilling over its border from gaza. the

israelis as well want to ensure that it's done in a slow and methodical way. they want to be able to ensure that everybody that comes through there is checked and that they are who they say they are. and to that end, border officials from a number of countries, including the uk, are there checking everybody, making sure, as i say, they are who they say they are and that they're okay and then they will be helped out of then they will be helped out of the country . the country. >> yeah, exactly . look, mark, >> yeah, exactly. look, mark, thank you very, very much for all the latest reports there from tel aviv for us concerning stuff for brits on the ground. hopefully they can get out as quickly as possible. but i do have a lot more coming your way this hour, including a gang of men. has been jailed for more than seven decades for child sexual exploitation in rochdale. charlie peters will have the latest on that deeply disturbing case that is, of course, the latest grooming gang case out of rochdale . and he's going to

for six years, the acts started in 2002 and were tracked until 2006 by the police, and they only got wind of this abuse in 2015 when girl a was at a parental course run by rochdale borough council and repeated what had happened to her when she was a schoolgirl . and the she was a schoolgirl. and the council heard this and passed it up to the police who took action immediately and then got in contact with girl but what contact with girl b. but what i've morning i've heard this morning from campaigners rochdale and campaigners in rochdale and indeed survivors we've been in touch well over a year touch with for well over a year in our work on the grooming gang scandal that scandal in this country. is that why take eight years for why did it take eight years for this reported in this news to be reported in 2015? and then for the 2015? the abuse and then for the trial and the sentencing to take place now, maggie place in 2023? now, maggie oliver, the greater manchester police whistleblower who exposed the rochdale in 2012 police whistleblower who exposed the she rochdale in 2012 police whistleblower who exposed the she resigned1dale in 2012 police whistleblower who exposed the she resigned here in 2012 police whistleblower who exposed the she resigned her post2012 police whistleblower who exposed the she resigned her post a52 when she resigned her post as a detective, said that it was inhumane to wait to make victims wait that long for justice. now, gmp have said that they did everything they could and they thanked the victims for their for their engagement and

dedication to this case. what must have been the most appalling experience for eight years as people people have been walking the streets . walking the streets. >> s accused of this stuff, waiting for a trial and to be sentenced. >> it's an extremely long time to wait for this kind of to justice take place, especially as we know that in the early noughties when much of this abuse was place in abuse was taking place in rochdale, police operation rochdale, the police operation then failed. it's called operation augusta. it did not track the number of perpetrators it needed to. and when did it needed to. and when it did find of suspected on a find hundreds of suspected on a file , we know that greater file, we know that greater manchester police did not follow up on those investigations. that's eventually maggie that's eventually why maggie oliver quit her role to expose that failure for the new operation, particularly in south manchester. green manchester. operation green jacket has found hundreds of new victims since it was launched some years ago and also has made over 40 arrests in the 42nd arrest was made last month. so greater manchester police is showing and is demonstrating they've got more a grip of on they've got more of a grip of on this problem they did two this problem than they did two decades but stepping

decades ago. but that's stepping up low bar . decades ago. but that's stepping up low bar. some of up from a very low bar. some of the abuse that we heard, i mean, plied and drugs, plied with alcohol and drugs, the stand affair that you see the stand ed affair that you see with kind of appalling with this kind of appalling abuse. met school abuse. girls met outside school gates, in their gates, often still in their school uniform and then taken to, as described, the to, as you described, the butcher's lair, was a flat butcher's lair, which was a flat above a butcher's shop in rochdale . but we also know that rochdale. but we also know that they were abused cars, in they were abused in cars, in pubuc they were abused in cars, in public in saddleworth public parks, in saddleworth moor, a barren , open space in moor, a barren, open space in north—west, greater manchester andits north—west, greater manchester and it's just relentless abuse . and it's just relentless abuse. six years, one of the victims said daily wear this kind of stuff was happening to her. and as i said, some of the detail we just can't repeat. but it is appalling. >> it is absolutely shocking. i mean, massive, massive questions to be answered from the police down. i can't get over that length of time that it's taken them to actually face sentencing some of the sentences is i think will raise eyebrows as well. so to it's a collective to be clear, it's a collective of 77 zero years. right. but obviously , the breakdown of that obviously, the breakdown of that is maybe not as severe as that

makes it sound. well the four of the men are in their 305, in their late 305, so they were younger men when this abuse was taking place. >> abusers is 50 >> and one of the abusers is 50 years of age. he's mohammed ghanl years of age. he's mohammed ghani. he actually had contact with his brother . one of his with his brother. one of his brothers is another member of this ring that's gone down. and i think exposes the family links and the community based aspect of this abuse, which in rochdale often was perpetrated by members often was perpetrated by members of pakistani of the british pakistani community. reflected community. and that's reflected in this case well . and we in this case as well. and we know that those people were operating in a ring for so long at this time. so their abuse was linked. they worked together, they facilitated this abuse and this reflects a very disturbing , this reflects a very disturbing, wider trend, of course, across the country where so many of these other cases have been found. i mean, maggie oliver this morning spoke about the sentencing. she actually said it's that some proper it's a relief that some proper sentences are finally happening because for one, 20 because eight years for one, 20 years for another, it is a step in right direction, she in the right direction, she said, know, said, because as you know, patrick, sentences

patrick, some of the sentences in past been pitiful. in the past have been pitiful. according to campaigners in comparison what seeing now. >> some people have spent longer trying to fight their deportation as a result of these crimes than they did spend in pnson crimes than they did spend in prison for their crimes. >> that's correct. that's correct. so some correct. and so some hope actually sentencing actually from this sentencing yesterday in manchester that there is more of an effort being taken by the authorities on this , campaigners and survivors telling gb news this morning that even though the delay is inhumane , the action by greater inhumane, the action by greater manchester police in tandem with rochdale borough council and the cps does show that lessons have been learned in lots of areas and they are working more effectively to deal with this problem. know, political problem. as you know, political correctness and classism and just neglect towards just total neglect towards victims was a key dampener of their efforts. two decades ago. >> charlie, thank you. charlie peters there are investigations reporter bringing you that story again. it is, of course, a story and a kind of story that you don't tend to hear that much of on other news outlets. and i can't help but wonder why that

happens, patrick, when you raise interest rates 14 times in a row, which is what's happened since 2021, that since december 2021, that monetary tightening, those higher borrowing costs, they're really now squeezing not just mortgage holders, not just people with personal loans on their cars or or appliances at home, but also businesses. >> most businesses debt is variable rate rather than fixed rate. let's have a look at some of these insolvency numbers. so an insolvency is obviously when an insolvency is obviously when a business goes bust between january and september 2023, this yean january and september 2023, this year, over 18,000 insolvencies in that nine month period. and thatis in that nine month period. and that is up 13% on the same period. patrick in 2022, a big increase. it's the highest number of insolvent losses in a nine month period since after the global financial crisis , the the global financial crisis, the lehman brothers collapse in 2009. and it is because companies are suffering as borrowing costs go up while demand for their products often goes down because households are being more cash strapped. and as well as the idea of insolvency . well as the idea of insolvency. you also have companies that are

in critical distress. they haven't quite gone bust, but they're on the brink of going bust and they're kind of fighting their and fighting for their lives. and between july and september, there were 37,000, almost 38,000 companies in critical distress. that's up over a quarter on the previous three months. so a real acceleration in there . and acceleration in there. and 11,000 of those distressed companies are construction and property companies . they often property companies. they often take on lots of debts they have to spend lots of money. and they until you sell the house that you've built, you don't get any of their money why we of their money back. and why we highlighting not just highlighting this now, not just because important, highlighting this now, not just because lot important, highlighting this now, not just because lot of important, highlighting this now, not just because lot of britain's'tant, highlighting this now, not just because lot of britain's small but for a lot of britain's small businesses, not because businesses, not just because behind statistics behind each of those statistics is suffering is a family that's suffering a business gone sour. business dream that's gone sour. it'5 business dream that's gone sour. it's because tomorrow at 12 noon, there's lot on the news noon, there's a lot on the news agenda. but this will be a big story. outside the bank agenda. but this will be a big st(england outside the bank agenda. but this will be a big st(england as utside the bank agenda. but this will be a big st(england as longe the bank agenda. but this will be a big st(england as longe tithey're. of england as long as they're not storm, as long as it's not flooded in the city of london, weather allowing. i'll be in the studio if it's too bad to get out there because the bank of england is going to set interest rates. i personally think

they're going to keep interest rates at 5.25. a lot of savers won't that. they want won't like that. they want higher but higher interest rates. but people people people with mortgages, people with personal loans and a lot of those struggling to those businesses struggling to survive, the bank those businesses struggling to su england the bank those businesses struggling to su england to the bank those businesses struggling to su england to keep the bank those businesses struggling to su england to keep rates bank those businesses struggling to su england to keep rates on 1k of england to keep rates on hold. fingers toes crossed, hold. fingers and toes crossed, patrick, just patrick, that they do now just i think we've just about got time as well. >> concerning thing for >> another concerning thing for a is whether or a lot of people is whether or not their local council going not their local council is going to that to go bust and what that means for them, happening for them, what's happening there, is there, what's happening here is councils lot of debt councils also have a lot of debt and they're paying more on their debt service. >> particularly is happening >> but particularly is happening higher borrowing costs, mortgage costs higher borrowing costs, mortgage cosputting and local are putting rent up and local councils, spend a lot of councils, they spend a lot of money paying the rent of social tenants, people who would othennise be in state council houses, housing association tenants and so on, and those rents are going up and local authorities are legally obliged to make those rents, to fulfil those rents, to pay those rents for often risk . and certainly for often at risk. and certainly low families . and that is low income families. and that is causing a lot strain across causing a lot of strain across local councils , local councils local councils, local councils who have already had a lot of their cash cut back over recent years. and this is what happens when interest rise . people

when interest rates rise. people like me go on about it in theory, but in practise it really, really hurts. this is what it takes to squeeze inflation out of the system. i personally think and i've thought a long time, several thought for a long time, several months now, as we've months now, patrick, as we've discussed your show , the bank discussed on your show, the bank of england has gone far enough. they raising they need to stop raising interest now and let this interest rates now and let this monetary work through monetary tightening work through , inflation. so , bear down on inflation. so hopefully interest rates in this country at 5.25% have now peaked. okay >> right. well, interesting stuff there , isn't it? now, stuff there, isn't it? now, we've done a couple of high brow topics, which of course, leads me on to the very end of the houn me on to the very end of the hour, which is where i do a patrick's pick of the day normally, which is a little bit lighter, a little bit different, something you might missed , something you might have missed, guys, you're a male who uses guys, if you're a male who uses your phone a lot. right. right. well, might want rethink well, you might want to rethink how you spend your time because a new study suggests mobile a new study suggests that mobile phone can seriously impact phone usage can seriously impact your sperm count. apparently your sperm count. so apparently the quality is slowly decreasing. over the last 50 years, who frequently use

years, men who frequently use their phone could suffer 21% lower concentration of sperm than those who don't. the university of geneva. so, you know, it's good collected data from 2000 men aged between 18 and 22, finding that stress, alcohol, poor diet and smoking can have a negative impact can also have a negative impact on those swimmers . that's bad on those swimmers. that's bad news for me because i do all of those. but there we go. anyway look, stay tuned look, you guys stay tuned because loads more because i've got loads more coming your way. but i am just getting a quick call, so i'm just going to just going to take that. all right. i'll see that. all right. okay. i'll see you sec. all right . you in a sec. all right. >> hello again. it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office with the gb news forecast at storm kieran arrives overnight, bringing increasingly wet and windy weather to southern parts of the uk. coastal areas most at risk of disruptive and damaging wind gusts. some dangerous conditions around the south coast, in fact, into thursday. but northern france and the channel islands seeing even worse conditions with 100 mile per hour wind

bit of government, which isn't about saying everything's smashing and going brilliantly, but actually being a bit more reflective, the sort of unbelievably bullish we're going to be great at everything approach is not a smart mentality to have inside a government meeting . government meeting. >> house prices have increased by 0.9% in october, which experts say reflects the limited supply of properties on the market. nationwide's market index showed an increase on last month's figures , though average month's figures, though average pnces month's figures, though average prices across the uk are down 3.3, compared to last year. the building society says market activity remains weak with the number of mortgages approved in september . down 30. amber september. down 30. amber weather warnings are in place for the south coast of england and parts of pembrokeshire . for the south coast of england and parts of pembrokeshire. in wales. the storm keira nears the uk. the met office says wind and rain could bring potential risk to life and property. a red wind warning has been issued by

camilla on a visit to an elephant orphanage where the queen fed a calf. the monarch also visited an urban forest to highlight the importance of green spaces in our cities . this green spaces in our cities. this is gb news across the uk, on tv in your car, on digital radio, and on your smart speaker. by saying play gb news now it's back to . back to. patrick >> well, very shortly. i'm going to be talking about whether or not our police have taken sides when it comes to the protests that have been taking place. you've mice released into you've had mice released into mcdonald's restaurants. bizarrely, now seeing bizarrely, we are now seeing people vandalising things doing sit ins at train stations . et sit ins at train stations. et cetera. massively disrupting the peace. but also, i think maybe be displaying a fundamental undercurrent of racism. it's the things that they are doing. are the police force taking sides?

and when we consider that they're tearing down posters for missing jews in some areas, what does that really say ? but does that really say? but meanwhile, the row in the labour party continues over whether the labour leader, sir keir starmer , labour leader, sir keir starmer, should call for a ceasefire over the israel—hamas conflict. so . the israel—hamas conflict. so. mps are calling for him to change his stance and they are apparently increasingly saying that he needs to do that. othennise they'll quit. but some of them are of course muslim . in of them are of course muslim. in fact, quite a lot of the people who are certainly at local council level quitting the labour party are indeed members of the british muslim community. and interestingly , ali, he has and interestingly, ali, he has put out an islam phobia awareness video earlier today, too much controversy. let's just have a look and a listen, shall we? >> this islamophobia awareness month comes at a deeply troubling time for muslim communities across britain. >> we've seen a devastating rise in islam phobia, leaving people

feeling fearful and unsafe in their own country . i've heard their own country. i've heard first hand of women wearing huab first hand of women wearing hijab who are too scared to travel by public transport, of muslim families, being abused as they leave the mosque . hate they leave the mosque. hate crimes are deeply damaging, both for every affected victim , but for every affected victim, but for every affected victim, but for communities. >> and we all bear a responsibility to do all we can to stamp out hate. >> i can speak now to the founder of the academy of ideas, baroness claire fox , who earlier baroness claire fox, who earlier accused turkey starmer of identity politics of the worst kind. claire, what's going on for you there . i'm at the arc for you there. i'm at the arc conference just at the end, and they're all celebrating. >> but when i saw that, when i saw that video, patrick, i was justi saw that video, patrick, i was just i just sent a shudder down my spine in a way because we living in very dangerous,

divisive times at the moment. keir starmer has, to his credit and not backed off under quite a lot of pressure in relation to the ceasefire in relation to israel and the gaza . israel and the gaza. >> what we've also seen a dramatic and very visceral such israel jewish state hatred that it's basically moved into anti—jewish hatred , really anti—jewish hatred, really worrying suggestions of anti—semitism being normalised. >> people storming jewish shops , >> people storming jewish shops, tearing down posters of kidnapped jewish children , kidnapped jewish children, really abusive slogans and so on and so forth. so just at the time when we're actually seeing genuine racism on the streets of the uk in relation to anti—semitic ism, what pops keir starmer to say the big issue is a massive rise in islamophobia . a massive rise in islamophobia. >> now, you know, obviously this just comes over as cynical. >> it just comes over as the

worst kind of identity politics, trying to kind of somehow keep in with muslim voters . by the in with muslim voters. by the way, the majority of muslim voters are not anti semites or going along with this. >> by the way. >> by the way. >> but there's just something about that kind of like, i'll talk one day to the muslim voters and say they're the victims of hate. >> then maybe next day i'll >> then maybe the next day i'll go talk to the jewish people go and talk to the jewish people and the victims of and say they're the victims of hate, then no doubt be the hate, then no doubt will be the trans community then hate, then no doubt will be the tra doubt|munity then hate, then no doubt will be the tra doubt|mur be then hate, then no doubt will be the tra doubt|mur be somebody then hate, then no doubt will be the tra doubt|mur be somebody else. hate, then no doubt will be the tra i)ubt|mur be somebody else. hate, then no doubt will be the tra i mean, ur be somebody else. hate, then no doubt will be the tra i mean, thise somebody else. hate, then no doubt will be the tra i mean, this isomebody else. hate, then no doubt will be the tra i mean, this is notbody else. >> i mean, this is not appealing to people well beyond their ethnicity or their religion. >> it's not grown up politics. >> it's not grown up politics. >> it's not grown up politics. >> it's cynical. and it's really turned my stomach. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i mean, of course, again, the cynic in me would suggest that it's not that long after he was. well, not quite turfed out of a mosque in wales, but not that far off. it was he and you know, we've got labour councillors quitting. apparently we had some issue which thankfully appears to have been rectified by the electoral commission some commission in relation to some

kind islam which kind of party of islam which i think would have mopped a lot think would have mopped up a lot of it came to the of votes when it came to the disenfranchised elements the disenfranchised elements of the muslim community as well, muslim labour community as well, you then pops keir you know, and then up pops keir starmer he will say that starmer look, he will say that he is just trying to do his bit to raise awareness for islamophobe i the islamophobe here. i mean, the other for me was islamophobe here. i mean, the other islamophobia )r me was islamophobe here. i mean, the otherislamophobia awareness need does islamophobia awareness need a month? claire i well, first of all, you're absolutely right to suggest that this will be seen cynically by those people who are furious with him for sticking with his no ceasefire position an and as it were , position an and as it were, those activists from the muslim community who disagree with him. >> but this idea that you can buy muslim community by buy off the muslim community by putting out this video , i mean, putting out this video, i mean, it's insulting anyway, you're not going to keep anybody happy. but you said, i mean, who but as you said, i mean, who knew there was a islamophobia month awareness month ? month awareness month? >> mean, a month for >> i mean, there's a month for every of potential hatred every kind of potential hatred now. course, it's just >> and of course, it's just seen as almost pr marketing.

as almost like a pr marketing. >> but it was the words that he said he said at time said because he said at a time when tensions particularly when tensions are particularly high, when women are having their torn know, their hijabs torn off, you know, outside every mosque, the truth is, is that anyone who's in the uk , that is not mood at the uk, that is not the mood at the moment . uk, that is not the mood at the mo ifznt . are going to be >> if you are going to be concerned about a particular attack of hatred against a particular community, you couldn't but notice that at the moment at least it's being aimed at jewish people . at jewish people. >> that's what we know to be the case. >> and every news organiser is reporting that i'm not just making it up and the stats even say it. i don't think that these is competition about who's having more hate crimes aimed at them is healthy in any respect whatsoever. but it seems to me that what keir starmer has done is as i've said, is very odd . is as i've said, is very odd. opportunistically gone in there and thought out, you know, as i say, insults muslims by saying, oh, if i tell them i care about

it when somebody attacks them, then actually maybe they'll, you know, stop criticising me. by the way, we all know that islamophobia is also a phrase that's been used , used to that's been used, used to silence critics ism of radical islamism . islamism. >> um, over recent years. i mean, that's one of the things which i've been told when i've criticised some of the demonstrations in relation to the, the more pro hamas elements on the demos. >> and by the way, i defend their right to demonstrate hate. >> i even defend their right to shout jihadi slogans. >> but shoutjihadi slogans. >> but i want to be able to call it out for what it is, which is that this is an absolutely an entirely anti—jewish rhetoric. >> when . i when you know, >> but when. i when you know, when that's going on, then and i think that it's incumbent upon us to be able to say that keir starmer should be actually calling for depher sense of and absolutely defence of those people who are been really attacked rather than pretending

that there's an islamophobic war over there . those of us who've over there. those of us who've said anything about the demonstrations are accused of islamophobia and hating muslims, which effective way of which is an effective way of closing down free speech. >> clare thank you very, very much. and always a pleasure to have you. and in your rifle plays leading us into an hour as well as claire fox, said baroness claire fox, the badass baroness claire fox, the badass baroness in the business, founder of the academy of ideas, reacting to sir keir starmer's latest video. now to the rising tensions, of course, over the israel—hamas war in the middle east. they're causing huge issues for the policing of protests here in the uk, which we've about yet we've been talking about yet another attack in birmingham . another attack in birmingham. people are gang a masked gang of pro palestine activists hurling rodents on the floor of a mcdonald's in protest at that restaurant's alleged support for israel . so bear that in restaurant's alleged support for israel. so bear that in mind. now of course, as we enter you know, anti—islamophobia month. but anyway, some some some might

been chucked into a marquis by days. >> look at this . i'll just drop >> look at this. i'll just drop these off with mcdonald's. all these off with mcdonald's. all these rats and mcdonald's. oh, my days . my days. >> i mean, yeah , there we go. >> i mean, yeah, there we go. right. it followed a similar incident earlier this week where customers were left screaming in shock after what appears to be a pro—palestine activist ist unleashing another horde of mice, which they'd gone to the ridiculous effort of painting red , green and white until the red, green and white until the mice had been painted black turned up. people thought it was all about italy, but that was another birmingham mcdonald's, wasn't night, wasn't it? well last night, commuters liverpool street commuters at liverpool street station were disrupted by a group protesting about the situation. they did a sit in calling for an immediate ceasefire in the israel hamas conflict. that's at liverpool street station, which, in case you're happened you're wondering. yes, happened to just coincidentally to be just coincidentally happened to be where jewish

children were dropped off in the kindertransport court during the second world war. meanwhile manchester police have apologised after its officers said that they received phone calls from people who were offended and then went and tore down posters about missing jewish people, taken . hostage by jewish people, taken. hostage by hamas. they've now said that they got it wrong. well, gb news is reporter jack carson has gone to a birmingham mcdonald's for us. he's been standing there all day. i hope you managed to go inside and get yourself a non mouse infest quarter pounder or whatever your particular choice is. there d's so that has been the scene of a rodent infestation , but a deliberate one. >> yeah, that's right. patrick this was the third mcdonald's attacked yesterday . today here attacked yesterday. today here in birmingham , this is small. in birmingham, this is small. heath. there was also a mice attacks in mcdonald's in perry barr just outside the city centre and at the star city restaurant and kind of leisure complex, the mcdonald's there.

that was the first initial attack . that was the one that's attack. that was the one that's gone viral. all over social media. and of course , and we media. and of course, and we know that the police were also, of course, investigating that in the last 15 minutes, we have had an update from birmingham police. they have released images of men wanted in images of two men wanted in connection with that incident. they want to speak to an amir khan, a 32 year old and 30 year old bilal hussain over those incidents. they say that they've already executed a number of warrants determination warrants in their determination to arrest the pair, who they suspect are involved in the unsuspecting they call unsuspecting, unacceptable and distressing incidents. they also say that here at small heath, they are also investigating that similar incident. they don't currently believe at this moment in for all these three in time for all these three incidents to be connected. but they say that their position they do say that their position is that this these mice is clear, that this these mice attacks appalling they attacks are appalling and they say be tolerated , say they will not be tolerated, that will down that we will hunt down birmingham police and birmingham police say, and prosecute has prosecute anyone who has committed acts. of course, committed such acts. of course, it's not just here birmingham it's notjust here in birmingham now these attacks on what

now that these attacks on what these pro—palestine campaigners are calling pro—israel established sites. of course, mcdonald's is one of the three starbucks and disney are also the other global corporations in keighley and bradford, a starbucks was vandalised with some objects hitting the windows. there with a hammer. and the west yorkshire police in the last couple of hours have confirmed that they've arrested a man in in in his 205 over that incident. the mp for keighley in bradford , robbie moore, said bradford, robbie moore, said that he was sickened by the acts of vandalism and intimidation. he says that those acts were completely counterproductive and an insult to all of those calling for peace in the middle east. now, initial these reports, these these attacks on mcdonald's have been because of reports out for mcdonald's in israel that specific israel and that specific franchise saying that they'd been supporting soldier been supporting idf soldier soldiers and also security forces out there in israel. but mcdonald's , the corporations say mcdonald's, the corporations say that they are dismayed by the disinformation regarding their their position in response . to

their position in response. to their position in response. to the conflicts in the middle east. and they say they are not funding or supporting any governments involved in the conflict. >> yeah, john, you very, conflict. >> ymuchnhn, you very, conflict. >> ymuch. jack you very, conflict. >> ymuch. jack carson)u very, conflict. >> ymuch. jack carson there y, very much. jack carson there who's been given the long stand by us outside of mcdonald's, which bizarrely has been the scene of a load of mice being lobbed into it, hasn't it? and i mean, i think we can all agree, given the incidents i rattled off to jack carson off before i went to jack carson and incidents that and the incidents that jack carson rattled off. carson has himself rattled off. i think we can all agree that sir starmer there sir keir starmer is video. there is incredibly well timed and in tune exactly what going tune with exactly what is going on gb news is on in the nation. but gb news is security editor white security editor mark white joins us from tel aviv. mark, us now from tel aviv. mark, thank you. what's the latest where you are, especially in terms of being to get terms of brits being able to get out gaza . out of gaza. >> well, we know that a couple of brits saint giles were on the list today , 500 names on that list today, 500 names on that list today, 500 names on that list today, 500 names on that list to get through the rafah crossing into egypt. but in the end, 335 people showed up and were allowed through , along with

were allowed through, along with 76 people who were very seriously injured in the violence in gaza . palestinians violence in gaza. palestinians who have been allowed through in a fleet of ambulances for treatment in egypt, there's a field hospital that has been set up in the desert there to treat those individuals. and what we're told is that the remaining 170 or so people who were on the list today can still show up in the coming days. and they will be processed and allowed through that crossing. and the same for the remainder of those foreign nationals and dual nationals citizens, among them , at least citizens, among them, at least 200 who have been identified by the british government there may be more in the way of british nationals in gaza, but the uk government that has been able to assess and identify . just over assess and identify. just over 200 and they hope finally, according to the foreign secretary , we should be able to

secretary, we should be able to get through if things hold and they have this limited number going through each day and this kind of methodical way. >> mark, thank you very much. mark white there, our man in tel aviv, our security editor. now you're watching all listening to gb news and coming up in just a moment, we be discussing moment, we will be discussing the to kenya, where the king's visit to kenya, where he's expressed deep regret for britain's colonial past. do you stand by that? did you want the king to do that? this and much, much more to bring you in. just a tick patrick christys here on gb are britain's news gb news. we are britain's news channel .

& co weeknights from . six & co weeknights from. six >> welcome back. 526 you're watching or listening to me patrick christys on go tv online or radio. still to come between now and 5 pm. 6 pm. there you go. a reminder of our poppy appeal fundraising effort . you appeal fundraising effort. you have donated more than £164,000. thank you very, very much, everybody. that is . just everybody. that is. just giving.com/paige fonnard slash gb news poppy. massively appreciated every single penny of it, but of course, as well, today was the second day of the king and queen's four day state visit to kenya. and the day has been an eventful one for visiting war. graves to an animal sanctuary. queen camilla visited sheldrick elephant orphanage, where she also fed

one of the baby elephants. teddy, why? oh, that's like my perfect day . i think this is perfect day. i think this is king charles as well as his first state visit to a commonwealth country as a monarch at a state dinner yesterday, though, king charles said that he felt the greatest sorrow and deepest regret for atrocities suffered by kenyans dunng atrocities suffered by kenyans during their for during their struggle for independence. now some are saying this doesn't amount to a full apology. i mean, other people are saying it definitely does amount a full apology does amount to a full apology because was because i mean i mean, it was really an apology, wasn't it? but they're concerned that the king is on some kind of international apology tour everywhere now around everywhere he goes now around the commonwealth. are going everywhere he goes now around thngetmmonwealth. are going everywhere he goes now around thnget amonwealth. are going everywhere he goes now around thnget a sorry, 5alth. are going everywhere he goes now around thnget a sorry, what are going everywhere he goes now around thnget a sorry, what does going everywhere he goes now around thnget a sorry, what does that ing to get a sorry, what does that mean britain? should mean for britain? should our envoy world be doing envoy to the world be doing that? do we have a lot to be? sorry and you know what sorry about? and you know what comes next sorry. comes next after sorry. sometimes as well. this sometimes as well. often this calls reparation . et cetera. calls for reparation. et cetera. with me now to pick through all of this is royal commentator judyta de silva. judyta. thank you very much. great to have you on show. so, okay, first on the show. so, okay, first

things first. what do you make of the non—apology of the king's non—apology apology ? apology? >> i think it's kind of what happens when you sit down with when celebrities sit down with their legal advisors before doing a speech , when they say doing a speech, when they say take no accountability but show recognition, it humanises you but leaves you with no liability. that's what it sounded like. but the history books have it as with concrete evidence that what went down in kenya in the mau mau uprising and fights for independence was abhorrent. it was inhumane and done under the agenda of colonial ism for the british empire . but colonial ism for the british empire. but then colonial ism for the british empire . but then when you think empire. but then when you think to what king charles is doing , to what king charles is doing, why william ruto, the president of kenya, said it showed exemplary courage is for the first time he's using dialogue that his mother . never used the that his mother. never used the kinds of adjectives, the kinds of recognition is something his mother never did. but also he's in a very unique position where he has inherited something that his mother never had, was the most precious thing she had,

which was the preservation of the commonwealth and the relationships therein . it would relationships therein. it would be the most profound indictment of his reign if he were to fumble the bag for want of a better phrase. so he has to find a way to understand the ever changing environment that is kenya as it ushers in new generations that will not stop short of a full apology , but short of a full apology, but also preserve what was there before and the pride of the country that he represent . so country that he represent. so don't envy him that he's juggbng don't envy him that he's juggling a lot of plates at the same time. but that is a job he's inherited . he's inherited. >> there is a school >> i suppose there is a school of that he's of thought that says he's actually blinder there actually played a blinder there because people because he he people can legitimately say he hasn't said sorry. both in a good way and a bad way. the people who want an apology may be palmed off a little bit by him showing some recognition. but those people who would hate the idea of king going around the world and quotes and quotes, trashing britain or whatever want quotes and quotes, trashing br say or whatever want quotes and quotes, trashing br say or whit,ever want quotes and quotes, trashing br say or whit, then want quotes and quotes, trashing br say or whit, then they want quotes and quotes, trashing br say or whit, then they areint to say about it, then they are appeased well. so yeah. do appeased as well. so yeah. do you that got a very you think that he has got a very difficult and he might be

difficult job and he might be actually treading that tightrope quite you quite well? and what do you think , though, is to think, though, is going to happen fonnard ? i mean, happen going fonnard? i mean, everywhere is he going everywhere he goes is he going to now he's set a precedent, hasn't he? he's got to he's got to say a version of these phrases everywhere . phrases everywhere. >> quite frankly, he does have to. and i applaud him for recognising that he does have to. but what i think is interesting is that i'd like to see plays in the see how it plays out in the coming years because say coming years, because let's say king charles has a 10 to 15 year reign. what will leave behind reign. what will he leave behind for ? because remember, for william? because remember, by time william gets to the by the time william gets to the throne, generation of throne, my generation of africans and caribbeans will be the president and the prime ministers and the stakeholders in the global arena . and we come in the global arena. and we come from a generation that are the voices now saying if you refuse to say sorry for what you to even say sorry for what you did, it shows an arrogance that we have always ascribed to the british empire , and you can't british empire, and you can't quite shake that. but i believe that king charles is starting a nature of dialogue where he's showing i'm willing to have the conversation open, and

eventually that would come to a sorry, probably done in private quarters. that leaves a quarters. so that leaves a landscape where william will will actually be able to inherit a commonwealth that is still standing because if he doesn't, the big warning is by the time my generation takes over, they will see no necessity for the commonwealth to devolve. >> i think the other side of it would be that you open the door, then you know, so you end up with more people calling for more and more and more. and i think it was just a couple of years ago, for example, all the british government helped give £132 million to kenya. so then when people talk about things like reparations , you know, like reparations, you know, people might have a look at the amount of money that britain has given a commonwealth given to a lot of commonwealth countries the years as well countries over the years as well and say, well, is that not a reparation? concern reparation? then the concern would the would be that you open the floodgates by showing any kind of at all. of recognition at all. >> that is a concern. but what you have to understand is that once the of once the nature of a conversation also dictate conversation will also dictate the possibility for the kind of

reparations asked for, if you approach a conversation from a position of i do apologise , i do position of i do apologise, i do recognise let's talk in a way thatis recognise let's talk in a way that is feasible. people will also come to the table and say yes, i know that perhaps you cannot spend hundreds and hundreds of millions , but what hundreds of millions, but what can we do as two countries to help each other grow? so it may not be cash in the bank, it might be agreement, it could be trade understandings. there are so many possibilities to enable two nations to work together that doesn't just boil down to pounds and pence. >> lisa, thank you very much. always a pleasure, judy. to da silva, there is a royal commentator and regular here on gb great stuff. now loads gb news. great stuff. now loads more come. between now more still to come. between now and 6 pm. we will be discussing you generosity . yes, we you and your generosity. yes, we certainly will. as my poppy appeal more than appeal has now reached more than £165,000. i cannot thank you enough. i know that our veterans and their families cannot thank you enough . it's just you enough. it's just giving.com/page fonnard slash gb news news. poppy, we'll be
