12:06 pm
almost 100 british citizens could leave gaza via the rafah crossing today . now, top us crossing today. now, top us diplomat anthony blinken is calling for humanitarian pauses in the war against hamas. his in israel on his second visit to the region in a month. meanwhile israel claim that strikes on gaza on tuesday and wednesday killed two senior hamas leaders in the jabalia refugee camp. but the un has raised serious concerns . again, the idf's concerns. again, the idf's operation could amount to war crimes. i can now hopefully speak to tal heinrich, spokesperson for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu . minister benjamin netanyahu. thank you very much for joining us this morning . could you bring us this morning. could you bring us this morning. could you bring us up to date on what this afternoon, what is happening with our with blinken's visit to israel this afternoon ? israel this afternoon? >> thank you, dawn. i believe it
12:07 pm
is the third time, in fact, that the secretary of state is here dunng the secretary of state is here during the war. there's one thing which is standing goodbye, israel. but standing in israel. in fact, just like the us president did, president biden, which was unprecedented . that which was unprecedented. that really speaks volume and it really speaks volume and it really sends a message to all of israel's adversaries, not only hamas in the south, but, you know , around the region, do not know, around the region, do not test us and do not try us. we have been in lockstep with our american counterparts, our best friends, our best allies in terms of the goals of this operation. the counter—offensive that we launched in gaza and we have been clear. the first goal is to dismantle hamas is to dismantle the hamas regime. they can simply be no longer. we have decided as a nafion longer. we have decided as a nation that we will no longer live to a terrorist live next to a terrorist enclave, we want to see our enclave, and we want to see our sons and daughters, our elderly and and babies back and toddlers and babies back safe. we're talking about 242 hostages who are still being held captive by hamas for 27 days now. so we are fully coordinated with the united
12:08 pm
states . and you mentioned the states. and you mentioned the humanity , an aid that we both humanity, an aid that we both want to see entering gaza from the rafah border crossing with egypt. >> tal netanyahu said last night that that you are at the height of the battle now and that the idf are deep into gaza city . can idf are deep into gaza city. can you bring us up to date on any developments that are actually happening on the ground in gaza ? happening on the ground in gaza? >> well, don, i cannot talk about military activity happening right now or about the bigger military strategy. of course , for obvious reasons. course, for obvious reasons. that would be irresponsible on my behalf. and i'm sure you can understand. but we can talk again about the goal of what we're doing there, and that is to down the hamas regime, to bring down the hamas regime, their murderous terrorist regime. we didn't want this war. we didn't we weren't even expecting this war. we were dragged into it by hamas after they butchered, raped, mutilated our nation on october seventh. and please continue and please remember that they are continuing for 28, 27 days now
12:09 pm
to fire over 9000 rockets at israeli communities and cities. this is a situation that we will no longer tolerate. we consider this to be an existential threat to the state of israel and they have to understand that the story of the jewish people in their homeland doesn't their ancestral homeland doesn't end october 7th, 2023. that's end on october 7th, 2023. that's how i have to say that, you know, the gaza health ministry, which is obviously is run by hamas, are saying that there are 9000 civilians dead already , 9000 civilians dead already, including 3600 palestine children . children. >> so what would you say to those figures? i mean, they are horrific, aren't they ? horrific, aren't they? >> first, of course, they are horrific . this is terrible. this horrific. this is terrible. this is a tragedy of war. it's a war that we didn't want and we don't want it. but we have to defend ourselves. we sure we are making every possible efforts to minimise the civilian casualties. not that we can trust these numbers . as you trust these numbers. as you said, they are you know, they're coming to us from the hamas controlled gaza and health
12:10 pm
ministry. they are the people with the guns. they control every piece information every piece of information coming but we are coming out of gaza. but we are doing everything, everything possible minimise possible to minimise these tragedies while hamas is doing everything possible to maximise the casualties , which means that the casualties, which means that they committing a double war they are committing a double war crime here, not only against our citizens, but also against the gazan population. we have been calling for 27 days now on the residents of the northern gaza strip, where the heavy fighting is taking place right now to evacuate to the safer havens that we have designated for them in the southwest, where humanitarian aid is waiting . and humanitarian aid is waiting. and we keep urging them to evacuate. and i can tell you the numbers i'm in about, i think 1.1 million residents of gaza live in these areas. and more than 900,000 have already evacuated to these safer havens. so what would you say to hamas allegations that, you know, you are deliberately bombing refugee
12:11 pm
camps ? no, we are not camps? no, we are not deliberately bombing refugee camps. what we targeted there is a massive tunnel complex where a top hamas commander was hiding along with other many other hamas terrorists. this is a legitimate military target . but legitimate military target. but also, don, i would like to address this definition. the terminology that you are using. and again, i'm not criticising you. it's just it's something that we have to address. this is not the jabalia neighbourhood is not the jabalia neighbourhood is not a refugee camp. we're talking about palestinian residents who were born there in a palestinian territory. so they cannot be considered refugees . cannot be considered refugees. in fact, the only reason why palestinians themselves keep using this term refugees and run their own dedicated un agency under the auspices of the united nafionsis under the auspices of the united nations is to perpetuate the conflict and perpetuate the idea that they are refugees for five generations now of a war that they themselves started and they
12:12 pm
will remain refugees until the state of israel will cease to exist, which obviously will not happen. so again, under the palestinian definition of refugees, you and i, i'm not sure i don't know about your family lineage, but i should be considered a refugee of romania and morocco and almost every person on this planet should be considered as a refugee. if this this definition would have appued this definition would have applied to them. so these are not really refugees . not really refugees. >> okay. tal and the other thing i wanted to ask you about is the israeli times have shown videos of idf supposed abusing palestinians in the west bank. i have to ask you about this because it's divided comments on on the israeli times post. what would you say about those accusations ? accusations? >> well, i haven't seen the specific videos, so i'm not really familiar with the stories. if there is anything which is out of line happening, of course, we have to address it as a nation of course you will
12:13 pm
be if it is found to that idf soldiers have been abusing a palestinian gaza fighters or civilians , you will be taking civilians, you will be taking action against them . you mean in action against them. you mean in the west bank? yes i haven't again, i haven't seen i haven't seen any of these specific reports, so i can't really address them. but we will for sure. take a look into and we'll inquire . we will investigate. inquire. we will investigate. these are things that we have donein these are things that we have done in the past. okay. and when something is wrong, we take responsibility and we address the situation. so we will definitely look into these reports . reports. >> and so how frustrating is it for israel to constantly have the united nations and various countries around the globe now calling for a ceasefire what would you say to them ? would you say to them? >> you see there was a ceasefire, dawn on october 6th. then on october 7th, hamas broke
12:14 pm
it when they massacred us. and there will be a ceasefire again once hamas threats that their terrorist regime is eliminated and once the hostages are back home safe. but before that, not a minute before that, we cannot have a ceasefire because that means the people chant saying calling for a ceasefire but what are they basically saying , don? are they basically saying, don? they're saying that hamas can get away with what they did and that they can do it again and again and again. and in fact, the top hamas leader gave an interview, i think, from for msnbc, and another interview msnbc, an and another interview to a lebanese channel. they to a lebanese channel. and they say they will perpetrate say that they will perpetrate the october 7th massacre for a second, a third and a fourth time. and we take their word at face value. this is an existential, an existential threat to us. we are taking it that serious. it's a matter of life and death. so i did see that interview and it was quite shocking because he in that interview, he did say that the october seventh attack on israel of civilians, where thousands died, was justified , died, and
12:15 pm
died, was justified, died, and they would do that again . they would do that again. >> and, you know, literally tomorrow , which must have been tomorrow, which must have been horrific for everybody in israel to hear . so, you know, the call to hear. so, you know, the call for a ceasefire, do you believe that that hamas would ever heed any call for a ceasefire? now well , obviously, they would want well, obviously, they would want a ceasefire because they're losing. >> they know that we're coming after them and we'll find the perpetrators of the october seventh massacre and we'll get to them one after the other. we also warned them, do not hurt the hostages because we will find you. we will find you, and we will administer justice. but you see what we need . the you see what we need. the international community and international community and international players to do is to put more pressure on hamas, not on israel, not on israel, because pressure on hamas, in fact, is working . we see that fact, is working. we see that they already released four hostages due to mounting international pressure. and we need to ratchet up the pressure. but, don, i don't see protests against hamas, not even in the
12:16 pm
western world. i don't see any widespread media coverage of their atrocities, their history , their atrocities, their history, their atrocities, their history, their ideology. what they stand for and who they are . and we for and who they are. and we don't even see mounting pressure on iran right now, which funds them. over 93% of hamas's budget comes from iran, as we know. and they also 100% fund the palestinian islamic jihad, which is the second largest terrorist organisation in the gaza strip. but every time, don, someone puts the pressure on israel, then it serves hamas. hamas's purpose . the more you put purpose. the more you put pressure on israel for their use of civilian. yeah >> towel. unfortunately, we have to leave it there. we are running out of time. unfortunately. that's heinrich from tel aviv joining us there. thank so much for joining from tel aviv joining us there. thank so much forjoining us thank you so much forjoining us this afternoon. really appreciate we now appreciate it. we can go now live to durham where keir starmer is addressing businesses that the north east chamber of commerce i've made this year , commerce i've made this year, but it's the first time i've addressed the reigning uk chamber of the year. >> so before i go any further,
12:17 pm
i'd like to congratulate all of you on that . because it's no you on that. because it's no exaggeration to say that labour's ambitions for government are most important mission to get britain building again grow our way out of the suffocating cost of living crisis will depend on your future . future. >> our success. and now, before you pulled up that fantastic palatial drive outside and some of you may have travelled here today along the a1 , of you may have travelled here today along the a1, a road that is absolutely critical to doing business in this region. indeed for the whole of the east side of england. but as many of you will know, a little bit further up from here between morpeth and ellington, there's a stretch of the a1 that the prime minister has recently promised to upgrade
12:18 pm
, but there's a catch because he announced he would upgrade it in 2020 when he was chancellor just like theresa may's government did in 2017. and david cameron did in 2017. and david cameron did in 2017. and david cameron did in 2014. just like the conservative manifesto promised in 2010. and it's a metaphor for how our country's being run for the last 13 years as the cameras get called the press release is written all smiles for the photos and then it's back to westminster job done, rinse and repeat . but it's a story you see repeat. but it's a story you see right across britain . right across britain. infrastructure projects some with billions already committed businesses planning around them. strategy changes developed in rooms like this. but the projects and investment get stuck, blocked by objections,
12:19 pm
consultation options, legal challenges, balloon costs, delays , delays, delays. until in delays, delays, delays. until in the end and it's easierjust delays, delays, delays. until in the end and it's easier just to pack up and move on. we all know about hs2 , a project that can about hs2, a project that can conservatives couldn't get built even at the cost of £400 million per mile. that's the most expensive railway in the world ever . ever. and i'm afraid to ever. ever. and i'm afraid to say that all the hallmarks of that project, the waste , the that project, the waste, the stagnation, the short term sticking plaster politics, an inability to roll our sleeves up and get things done that will actually grow. our economy can be seen right across the country . i mean, right now the number of businesses going under has soared to its highest level in years. and as you will all appreciate, every single one, a personal tragedy, an ambition , a
12:20 pm
personal tragedy, an ambition, a dream, an investment in a better future gone now. i'm not here today to hit you over the head about this. you can see the country just as clearly as i can, but next week is the king's speech , and we can already see speech, and we can already see that it will only bring more of the same . a manifesto for the the same. a manifesto for the 14th year of tory failure and the starting gun fired on the next general election . a choice next general election. a choice between a conservative party with no plan for the future hurtling down the only high speed project it's ever managed to build the highway to british decline or the labour alternative of a party that understood the potential that lies in regions like this that has a plan to grow every corner of this country . we will work of this country. we will work with you to get the northeast
12:21 pm
building again , get our future building again, get our future back with a decade of national renewal . because mark my words, renewal. because mark my words, britain needs this king's speech to kick start a big build. britain needs this king's speech to kick start a big build . we to kick start a big build. we need to focus on the real problems that face businesses and communities of this region . and communities of this region. that's why a labour king's speech would rip up the red tape in our planning system that stops us building the infrastructure you need would establish a new generation of technical colleges. a plan for the higher skills that you need and would bring fonnard a modern industrial strategy . i work hand industrial strategy. i work hand industrial strategy. i work hand in glove with the private sector, invest in the potential of regions like this and win the race for the jobs of the future . race for the jobs of the future. thatis race for the jobs of the future. that is the job of government as i see it . we have to provide the i see it. we have to provide the businesses, communities and people of this nation with the conditions ones to succeed . a
12:22 pm
conditions ones to succeed. a fundamental deal, if you like , fundamental deal, if you like, that we serve the country while you drive it fonnard . the tories you drive it fonnard. the tories can't do this rishi sunak is too weak to stand up to the blockers on his backbenches to haunted by the ghosts of conservative imagination to see the country's problems as you see them . so if problems as you see them. so if you'll indulge me, i want to set out exactly how our plan would benefit your business and grow the economy of this proud region in three steps, step one, we will get the north east building again. we will take on the blockers that hold a veto over british aspiration . we will british aspiration. we will build 1.5 million homes right across britain with opportunities for first time buyers here in the northeast. new infrastructure to support businesses, families and communities to grow right. roads, warehouses, grim
12:23 pm
connection labs all built quicker and cheaper and with that, a prize for your business. a path to a stronger skills base , a happier workforce, more dynamism, more demand , more dynamism, more demand, more growth . i mean , let me just give growth. i mean, let me just give you a couple of examples. growth. i mean, let me just give you a couple of examples . the you a couple of examples. the thames tunnel in east london, a project that with a planning application in 30 times longer than the complete works of shakespeare , 60,000 pages, £800 shakespeare, 60,000 pages, £800 million worth of taxpayers money spent without even breaking ground , add or take sizewell ground, add or take sizewell c and next generation nuclear power station in suffolk. a £20 billion project of national importance vital for british energy security and independence. now now this one

12:25 pm
say , very much like say, very much like a conservative party, a member rather than labour infrastructure, technical investor in private business and playing up the north south divide as you expect, we'll be analysing more of this later though with with some experts. so but coming up, we're across to southern israel and join our security editor, mark white as there's no let up in the missile fire. >> we're hearing more sustained gunfire now coming from the direction of beit hanoun, which probably means that the air cover , the apache that we're cover, the apache that we're heanng cover, the apache that we're hearing overhead . yeah, very hearing overhead. yeah, very sustained fire out now , smoke sustained fire out now, smoke also on the horizon there . also on the horizon there. >> very dramatic pictures there from mark. well, stay with us for the latest on that .

12:40 pm
and visiting a charity and she was visiting a charity called situation room . now, called the situation room. now, i didn't know this stat until this of women in this morning. 40% of women in kenya will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. a very shocking statistic . yes. so very shocking statistic. yes. so the queen was meeting staff and volunteers of survivors of sexual and gender based violence at a local charity in mombasa. >> is one that's very close >> that is one that's very close to her heart. so what's to her heart. and so what's happening? they coming home happening? are they coming home today? happening next? happening? are they coming home tod yes, happening next? happening? are they coming home tod yes, they'relappening next? happening? are they coming home tod yes, they're currentlyj next? happening? are they coming home tod yes, they're currently in ext? happening? are they coming home tod yes, they're currently in the >> yes, they're currently in the air, we understand this, on air, as we understand this, on the voyager. then king the voyager. and then the king is to dubai at the end of is off to dubai at the end of the month cop 28. the month for cop 28. >> yes , there's some controversy >> yes, there's some controversy over isn't there? over that, though, isn't there? i mean. >> you remember last >> well, if you remember last year was a bit a talk year there was a bit of a talk of whether or whether he would or wouldn't go to cop 27. and liz truss, who was prime minister at the time, decided it was right for the king to was not right for the king to 9°! was not right for the king to go, sunak go, whereas rishi sunak obviously decided that it is obviously has decided that it is right king to go. right for the king to go. i don't we can read too much don't think we can read too much into the politic side of things. if you remember this time if you remember at this time last when cop27 happened , last year when cop27 happened, the had not travelled the king had not travelled abroad that time ,
12:41 pm
abroad as monarch at that time, whereas now he's done a state visit to france, germany and kenya. visit to france, germany and kenya . so perhaps it's seen kenya. so perhaps it's seen a bit more appropriate that the king can now travel to dubai for this. >> so overall, would you say the visit to kenya has been a success? >> i think it has been. if you compare it to the prince and princess of wales is 2022. commonwealth visits to the caribbean, incredibly overshadowed with pictures of william and catherine greeting kids through a wired fence and travelling on an open top. land rover looking really colonial. yes, the king didn't offer a full apology in his speech, but he did acknowledge the wrongs that happened six years ago dunng that happened six years ago during the mau mau atrocities, when 90,000 kenyans when around 90,000 kenyans were either injured . and at either killed or injured. and at that time. but he also met with some of the survivors and relatives in private to hear their concerns. and the reuters news agency has spoken to a few of them. and there and they have been saying that the fact that king charles spent time meeting them is progress . them is progress. >> yeah. and he is very good with people, isn't he? he does actually take the time to meet
12:42 pm
people. , he certainly people. so, yeah, he certainly does. and will be pleased does. and he will be pleased with way things gone. with the way things have gone. >> think? i think he >> do you think? i think he would. you look at would. he would be. you look at the front pages, queen, queen camilla yesterday feeding the baby baby, elephant. camilla yesterday feeding the baby rememberrby, elephant. camilla yesterday feeding the baby rememberrby, greatant. we all remember the great pictures, we? pictures, don't we? >> brilliant. cameron >> that's brilliant. cameron walker, much for walker, thank you very much for joining now, rishi sunak sat joining us. now, rishi sunak sat down musk at lancaster down with elon musk at lancaster house following the two day ai safety summit at bletchley park . safety summit at bletchley park. they discussed the future possibilities of ai and some of the dangers involved with advancing technology, tech giant billionaire elon musk says that artificial intelligence will one day eradicate the need for jobs. well security minister tom tugendhat says the uk will be at the heart of regulation for many years to come , and he's done so years to come, and he's done so and now is approaching artificial intelligence in a way thatis artificial intelligence in a way that is open and is engaged and that is open and is engaged and thatis that is open and is engaged and that is looking for all the ways that is looking for all the ways that we protect ourselves as well as we open up the opportunities. >> and i think what rishi has
12:43 pm
done with the safety summit, done with the ai safety summit, i what the prime minister i think what the prime minister is making sure that is doing is making sure that britain front and centre. the britain is front and centre. the regulator of the safety script, if you like, that will keep us all and elon to all safe and getting elon to help, also getting people help, but also getting people like suleiman and demis like mustafa suleiman and demis hassabis the hassabis and of course the people who've actually brought hassabis and of course the pe0|together,5 actually brought hassabis and of course the pe0|together, 5 actu clifford ught hassabis and of course the pe0|together,5 actuclifford and this together, matt clifford and ian is a fantastic ian hogarth is a fantastic achievement . achievement. >> okay . right. well, you've >> okay. right. well, you've heard what tom tugendhat had to say. so let's see what our deputy political editor, tom hannood, who's actually been the ai summit over the last two days and survive and relatively sane because i must admit, tom, the bits that i watched, i found entirely surreal. bring us up to speed on what it was actually like. there we had the british prime minister interviewing elon musk , one of the richest men in musk, one of the richest men in the entire world, and about al having an off switch. that's my take that was certainly a big point of the conversation . point of the conversation. >> but if we row back a little bit, this was, of course, back in london after the ai safety
12:44 pm
summit that occurred for two days in bletchley park. and it did seem that this was a bit of a diplomatic win for the united kingdom in his q&a with the prime minister elon musk said that there are really two centres of ai excellence in the world to places where ai advancement is happening. one is the san francisco bay area and the san francisco bay area and the other is the greater london area. this is a place where the united kingdom is really advanced in comparative terms with the rest of the world, and it made a lot of sense to bring in countries like the us and china and also the eu all together at bletchley park to agree some pretty foundation stuff. in terms of the first steps towards a framework to regulate hate. ai because the big worry of all of these tech boffins and world leaders is that i get so advanced , ernst, that i get so advanced, ernst, that i get so advanced, ernst, that it almost escapes human control. it has a mind of its own and starts doing things by
12:45 pm
itself that are contrary to the ideals of humans. so what have they agreed? >> what's come out of it? what's the end result of the conference and the meeting? >> the bletchley declaration was a important step a very, very important step because before these countries met at bletchley, no one agreed what the problem was . no one what the problem was. no one could what was so—called could define what was so—called frontier ai, which is what we're expecting to be coming out in the next 12, 18 months. the new systems that could be ever much more powerful. we're expecting seven times more powerful this summer than the systems that came out last summer. that's the speed of increase in power and capability. so number one, the bletchley declaration defined the terms and defined the problems and secondly, what the communique at the end of the summit achieved was to allow those seven large ai companies , those seven large ai companies, as they have allowed regular voters in the us and the uk to look inside their models and evaluate them for safety before
12:46 pm
they're released to the public. and then there's one final thing which is that this wasn't the last safety summit. it was the first ai safety summit, but because, as i say, this technology is advancing so very quickly, there's going to be another 1 quickly, there's going to be another1 in quickly, there's going to be another 1 in 6 quickly, there's going to be another1 in 6 months time in south korea. and then six months after that in france. so this is really keeping check with the pace of ai. and finally , we a un pace of ai. and finally, we a un intergovernmental panel assessing this stuff . basically, assessing this stuff. basically, this has built the framework , this has built the framework, the foundation stone for what will be future ai regulation because there is no regulation at the moment, which is the one thing that scares me . thing that scares me. >> and so this deal that's been signed by the uk , eu, usa, signed by the uk, eu, usa, australia , canada, france, australia, canada, france, germany, italy, japan , south germany, italy, japan, south korea, singapore, but the elephant in the room, it china didn't sign it. >> china didn't sign the investor dating the model's deal . it did sign up to the bletchley declaration right at the first step. but but on the
12:47 pm
second day there was a group of like minded countries they called themselves that signed this deal about looking into into these ai models . but i into these ai models. but i think is very important that think it is very important that in wider process that china in the wider process that china is involved, i actually interviewed matt clifford. he's the guy that ran the summit and that tom tugendhat was referencing in that clip that we saw. and he said for him, the most important moment of the whole actually came in most important moment of the whcfirst actually came in most important moment of the whcfirst half actually came in most important moment of the whcfirst half hourjally came in most important moment of the whcfirst half hour when :ame in most important moment of the whcfirst half hour when your in most important moment of the whcfirst half hour when you had the first half hour when you had the first half hour when you had the come press secretary and the us come press secretary and the us come press secretary and the chinese digital vice president just standing there on the stage together agreeing that declaration that is bringing the world together in a way of understanding what these risks are and setting up again for that future regulation. we're not there in terms of that framework of regulation across the world yet, but those foundation stones have been laid in place, which i think because we seem to have invented ai that is invented its own ai. >> so it's much cleverer than we are, as you just pointed out so
12:48 pm
articulately, much faster than we are as well . but the one we are as well. but the one thing that i wanted to pick up on is on the front page of all the newspapers today . elon musk, the newspapers today. elon musk, richest the tells richest man in the world, tells rishi sunak. british prime minister millionaire. minister and also a millionaire. i will end the need for us all to go to work. what what do you make of that? i mean, what about paying make of that? i mean, what about paying bills? i mean, you know, call old fashioned. call me old fashioned. >> interesting . rishi sunak >> it's interesting. rishi sunak has talking about sort of has been talking about sort of near term ai over the last two days. whenever he's asked days. and whenever he's asked this he says , think this question, he says, i think this question, he says, i think this going us this is going to help us actually, this is going to be a little co—pilot that sits next to us, all the boring bits to us, does all the boring bits of our job we can do the of our job so we can do the interesting stuff. it'll make us more productive. no one will lose jobs. and then on lose their jobs. and then on elon of the day elon musk at the end of the day says that, oh, no one's going to have jobs. we're going have any jobs. we're not going to work unless you want to need to work unless you want to need to work unless you want to work. but these are two different timeframes that they're right? so they're talking about. right? so elon talking long elon musk is talking long term. rishi is talking short rishi sunak is talking short term. can seem bit term. and it can seem a bit futuristic, can't it, if you're sort of removing the need for
12:49 pm
work. about work. elon musk is talking about an super abundance when an age of super abundance when we won't want for anything. there'll so resources there'll be so many resources that need money that you won't need money in a sense to of divide the sense to sort of divide the resources it's all resources because it's all there. the sort of world there. that's the sort of world that elon musk talking about, that elon musk is talking about, which fantastical. but if which seems fantastical. but if you to people who are you talk to the people who are sort the top the sort of at the top and the forefront of field, they do forefront of this field, they do imagine world where of imagine a world where sort of everything automated and the everything is automated and the only things that you would need to is if you want to to work for is if you want to work to get some sort of sense of fulfilment in life. but i think the thing that many people are missing this morning is that musk is talking about something a way away rishi sunak is a way away and rishi sunak is talking about something a bit closer. >> right? okay thank you very much for i might not have an off switch yet, but the lovely tom does. thank you very much, tom, for joining us and making it it forjoining us and making it it seem quite simple right now. we do move on. storm, kiran has swept the nation over the past three days, causing destruction across the uk. the storm has now eased, but many people have been
12:50 pm
left with significant damage to their homes and businesses . their homes and businesses. flood warnings remain in place due to heavy rainfall and strong winds. still now, guernsey resident jess mega speaks about her experience yesterday on the island here in guernsey. >> the intensity of the storm hit us at around 2:30 am. and has been continuing to batter the island ever since . as we've the island ever since. as we've seen reports of over 70 trees down. and that's probably just the ones reported on main thoroughfares in guernsey . we thoroughfares in guernsey. we have lots of small roads that they're covered in debris and they're covered in debris and the clean up operation is going to take some time yet. the clean up operation is going to take some time yet . the to take some time yet. the government made a decision on tuesday to close all schools, given the intensity that the storm was going to have . and storm was going to have. and that meant that businesses also had made the decision to close today . so pretty much we're in today. so pretty much we're in lockdown here in guernsey . lockdown here in guernsey. >> well , that was the situation
12:51 pm
>> well, that was the situation in guernsey and now we're cross to neighbouring island. and joining us is the jersey evening post reporter christy bailey. christy, thank you very much for joining us. could you just describe a little bit of what has been going on down there? i mean, obviously you know, talking to you live from safe london, can you get our head around the destruction that you have hard . have faced? is quite hard. >> yeah, i mean, the destruction has been really widespread . i has been really widespread. i mean, some of the worst hit areas have had roofs off. there's been windows exploded walking around today. i think what really struck me was how widespread the damage is. we've obviously seen all these images of the worst hit areas, but almost every road i've walked down today has had debris all over the floor. there's roof tiles everywhere. there's trees down many of the roads. down on many, many of the roads. so really widespread devastation i >> and did you what did you experience any of this personally, christy? i understand that your car windscreen was smashed at one point. >> yeah . so when i woke up
12:52 pm
>> yeah. so when i woke up yesterday morning when we went to check on everything , this to check on everything, this think something loose had flown off the neighbour's house and smashed the car windscreen . but smashed the car windscreen. but honestly, i think we're really lucky away with just lucky to have got away with just that for other people that because for other people they about 80 they think there's about 80 islanders been islanders who have been evacuated from their and evacuated from their homes and are staying hotels. and are now staying in hotels. and i think a lot of those homes are going to be kind of impossible to return to, least for the to return to, at least for the time being. >> right. that's footage >> right. and that's footage i think that you sent us as well, which which looks, frankly which looks which looks, frankly terrifying. which looks which looks, frankly tnmean,g. which looks which looks, frankly tnmean, we had warnings about i mean, we had warnings about the you know, we're the storm. and, you know, we're all to government warnings all used to government warnings now, warning, now, yellow warning, amber warning, you warning, red warning. were you surprised the how fierce this surprised at the how fierce this storm was when it did storm actually was when it did make landfall ? make landfall? >> i think we had a lot >> yeah, so i think we had a lot of warnings about what was going to hit in the early hours of thursday morning. but i think what surprised everyone what what surprised everyone was what they is most likely a they said is most likely a tornado struck on midnight tornado that struck on midnight on wednesday night. and it was terrifying. i mean, there was a sudden thunderstorm storm, lightning, hail stones, bigger
12:53 pm
than i've ever seen them. i honestly thought that someone was throwing bricks at the window how was. and window from how loud it was. and that people in the that i mean, the people in the worst area saint clements worst hit area in saint clements have roofs blown off and have had roofs blown off and hailstones smashing windows, smashing cars. think it was smashing cars. so i think it was really shocking as much as we were given warning, i don't think anyone was think anyone's anyone was expecting what actually hit and christy, you think that the christy, do you think that the you know, the authorities and the government should have prepared the area more for what potentially could have happened? >> i mean, we've seen very similar scenes up in scotland. should more have been done to protect the residents ? protect the residents? >> i think they did what they can. i mean, everyone was sort of inside from 8 pm. on wednesday night and schools were closed. businesses were closed. there were people out late kind of putting sandbags, coastal defences. i think people were defences. so i think people were prepared as much as they could be. and i mean, walking around today, it does seem like the island's really come together and clean up operation is and the clean up operation is well there's a real well undennay and there's a real sense community. sense of community. and on facebook and whatsapp groups,
12:54 pm
everyone sort of everyone seems to be sort of messaging volunteering messaging and volunteering services. there services. so i think there really been a sense really has been a sense of community and know if community and i don't know if there could have been much more done to warn everyone. >> christy >> okay. thank you. christy bailey. luck with the clear bailey. good luck with the clear up and yeah, take care up situation and yeah, take care everyone there. in the next everyone down there. in the next houn everyone down there. in the next hour, hearing from hour, we'll be hearing from a representative for israeli representative for the israeli prime diving prime minister and deep diving into just and how plan into just why and how plan disruptions might take place. this armistice day. >> hello, i'm alex deakin. this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. not quite the calm after the storm, but certainly the weather. not as wild today as yesterday. storm ian continues to head out into the north sea. there is another deep area of low pressure that will bring some wet and windy weather this weekend. but in between the weather just a few weather systems, just a few showers around having showers around today, having said still close said that, we are still close enough storm in eastern enough to the storm in eastern scotland for rain to scotland for more rain to potentially cause some further issues. we have a met issues. so we do have a met office warning here. office yellow warning here. plenty of showers for north—west england, some england, wales, some for northern not too many northern ireland. not too many further south and east, though

because i think the real concern is that we could see hezbollah entering this war in a more significant way. as i say, there have been increasing their attacks into the north of israel, firing anti—tank missiles. they used drones to attack a border post in the last couple of days, and they are , as couple of days, and they are, as i say, being supported or giving room to these hamas terrorists who are also firing rockets in to northern israel. and we had a significant attack just yesterday into a community called kiryat shmona, which is in northern israel. that community had a direct impact from one of those rockets which caused a severe fire in the town centre, taking one business out. and a number of cars , a couple and a number of cars, a couple of people were injured . and down of people were injured. and down here in southern israel, the war
1:10 pm
continues to rage. more in the way of artillery fire going out towards the hamas position . towards the hamas position. towns in northern gaza . as towns in northern gaza. as i say, the concern that they have about hezbollah entering this war, of course, is it means is effectively that israel that would then be fighting a war on two fronts. it is in a way anyway, because it's had to commit tens of thousands of troops to its northern border there just because of the attacks that are happening happening regularly from hezbollah and hamas over that northern border. but if it intensify lies, then it could be very serious indeed for israel and for the wider region. hezbollah as a terrorist force is believed to . number more is believed to. number more 100,000 at least . they are also 100,000 at least. they are also in possession . of 150,000, 100,000 at least. they are also in possession . of150,000, at in possession. of150,000, at
1:11 pm
least missiles, rockets and other munitions that is at their disposal . so clearly concern disposal. so clearly concern here at what is happening . i here at what is happening. i think regardless of whether nasrallah actually signals that hezbollah should enter the war in a proper, full throated way, what will happen just as a consequence of the hezbollah leader making this speech , doing leader making this speech, doing giving the usual sort of hatred and bile that he spills towards israel, blaming israel for all of the ills of this region . in of the ills of this region. in just that speech itself and addressing the issues of the 7th of october and onwards is likely to, i think, elicit a response from those hezbollah terrorists on the border with israel. i mean , iran have made no secret mean, iran have made no secret of the fact i mean, president ebrahim raisi did actually say that, you know , this could erupt that, you know, this could erupt into wider conflict .
1:12 pm
into wider conflict. >> so, i mean, it's iran have made no secret and it's worried , made no secret and it's worried, you know, neighbouring countries like egypt and saudi arabia, who are fairly supportive are normally fairly supportive of israel about about the expansion of this conflict. now, you know, mark, you've been on the ground there for a while now. i know you're on the border now, but you've also been in tel aviv. how are the ordinary people of israel feeling about this and the fact that obviously the gaza situation, but now with the gaza situation, but now with the happening the hezbollah speech happening now, don't quite know what now, we don't quite know what he's but with the he's saying yet. but with the hezbollah speech happening, how are ordinary people are the ordinary people of israel feeling what's israel feeling about what's happening borders happening on both borders potentially ? potentially? >> well , people in israel are >> well, people in israel are still traumatised by the events of october 7th, when 1400 of their citizens and some foreign nationals were slaughtered by these hamas terrorists. there are still more than 240 people being held hostage by hamas. the country is at war. many of its
1:13 pm
citizens have been called up as reservists. they've been called up to go and fight in in gaza at the moment or up on the northern border to try to protect the northern border from what is happening in terms of these missile strikes from hezbollah. and hamas in the north of the country , in the west bank as country, in the west bank as well. there has been increasing unrest at a number of deaths that have taken place there. israel has had to reinforce the west bank as well . so there's west bank as well. so there's a big drain on israel militarily . big drain on israel militarily. there is a big toll on the people psychologically and also in terms of those being called up as reservists in addition to that, what we've seen since october the 7th is a very significant increase in the number of hamas and hezbollah attacks on the population. so they are dealing often hourly with rocket attacks into israel , with rocket attacks into israel, civilian areas. so yeah, they're
1:14 pm
traumatised. they're dealing with it, but they realise there a nation at war. okay >> that's mark white. our security editor on the border between israel and gaza. thank you very much, mark. and please stay safe. basically right. the met police has vowed to use all its powers to stop remembrance day commemorations, including the two minute silence being disrupted amid ongoing pro—palestinian rallies. now, tens of thousands of protesters calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza are planning to take to the streets of london on armistice day. that's saturday the 11th. security minister, tom tugendhat told gb news at times like this, it's not unusual for other police forces to support the met. >> the priority has to to be allow people to have that moment of grief, that moment of national mourning that we share together on the 11th of november at 11:00, and of course, on remembrance sunday as well. and i think that's that's absolutely where focus should be. of where the focus should be. of course, rights to
1:15 pm
course, there are rights to protest at other times. of course, it's right that people should express their views freely. but also right freely. but what's also right is that the right to that others have the right to come together and to be quiet and to be still for those two minutes, really unite us minutes, which really unite us as a country and remind us of the huge sacrifices paid by so many. that's tom tugendhat there right now. >> philip ingram, former senior military intelligence officer, joins now to talk about the joins us now to talk about the potential for war. armistice day to be incredibly disruptive and cause a lot of upset for many, many people. thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. what do you make of the announcement that the pro peace in palestine march will be going ahead on armistice day ? and what ahead on armistice day? and what potentially can you see the problems being ? problems being? >> well, as we've seen with the marches to date and there have been a lot of them, there are elements that seem to be hijacking them to give out more extreme a more extreme focus.
1:16 pm
there are people within the generally peaceful marches who are trying to celebrate what hamas is doing. a proscribed terror organisation and there is a real danger that because of the focus, that being armistice day and the day before remembrance sunday, that not just these these extreme elements are going to go chanting on behalf of a terror organisation could take over. but terror organisations themselves. and if you get the very large numbers that are coming in, the policing presence , the pressure on the metropolitan police is going to be massive. and if the march is allowed to go anywhere near the whitehall area , i think that is whitehall area, i think that is just a smack in the face for the veterans who are trying to quietly remember those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice . and paid the ultimate sacrifice. and we have to remember the veterans come from all religious backgrounds and therefore it's not aimed at one particular
1:17 pm
religion background. >> philip, do you think the do you think basically whitehall and the cenotaph should be cordoned off from the march . for cordoned off from the march. for the for this week? >> yes, definitely . you know, >> yes, definitely. you know, i'm gobsmacked if the mayor of london has allowed this march to. go ahead and go ahead in that particular area , i've got that particular area, i've got no problems with there being protests . you know, we are, you protests. you know, we are, you know, every veteran that is going to be on parade next weekend has put their lives on the line. and those that the poppy the line. and those that the poppy symbols symbolises have given their lives so that we have freedoms and freedom of protest is one of those freedoms. so i have no problems with that going ahead at all. it's just it can go ahead somewhere else, nowhere near where the cenotaph is or nowhere near where whitehall is. any other time, any other weekend . other time, any other weekend. there have been lots of marches there. let them crack on, philip. >> there have been lots of criticism of the way the metropolitan police have handled
1:18 pm
previous marches and there have been arrests indeed for those appearing to support hamas rather than the palestinian situation . when do you think the situation. when do you think the police have been too soft on the way they've handled some of these marches? and with this one going ahead on such an important emotive day, they they need to be a tougher attitude . be a tougher attitude. >> and i think it's very easy to criticise the police. they're in a very, very difficult position. there are numbers compared to the marchers are relatively small and they go in small and if they go in aggressively, could turn aggressively, they could turn something that is on generally a peaceful protest into something that turns violent very quickly indeed, and that would take even more resources. what i'm saying is that the police are gathering intelligence through through the march itself . intelligence through through the march itself. if intelligence through through the march itself . if there's anyone march itself. if there's anyone committing crime there, committing a crime there, and then they safely arrest then and they can safely arrest them, they're doing it. but what they're launching they're then doing is launching a operations a series of operations aftennard. once they've identified individuals and going and them and and arresting them and prosecuting relatively prosecuting them relatively quickly for the crimes that that
1:19 pm
they're committing . and, you they're committing. and, you know, i think that's probably the right way to do it because, you know, the those that are on the extreme side would love to see the police going in with riot shields and batons because that would then just stimulate more hatred and it would become this ever self—feeding cycle. >> it's incredibly volatile situation . and we have already situation. and we have already heard that , you know, that, you heard that, you know, that, you know, the protests have been by agents of iran who are keen to cause more unrest and also far right movement and also some veteran groups are feeling particularly understandably, very , very angry, angry. do you very, very angry, angry. do you fear that this situation can get completely out of hand if it's not properly handled, it could get out of hand very quickly indeed. >> and the last thing that we want to see in the run up to the armistice day and the run up to remembrance sunday are riots on the streets in london, fighting going on between people from different backgrounds and
1:20 pm
different backgrounds and different factions. and you know, it's sullying what should be a very sombre period of time, remembering those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice. so that we all have the freedoms that these individuals are are trying to express . so, you know, if to express. so, you know, if people have got any sense, you know, this is this is 1st march that people should be avoiding. >> okay. and just one final question for you, philip . we've question for you, philip. we've seen sir keir starmer seemingly taking his poppy off to talk about islamophobic awareness month . i mean, what do you make month. i mean, what do you make of him doing that? i mean, surely that is an insult to every single veteran that served for our right to speak out in this country . this country. >> this, poppy , is there for not >> this, poppy, is there for not just christians, but jews , for just christians, but jews, for muslims, for hindus , for sikhs, muslims, for hindus, for sikhs, the british military have got people from all backgrounds and people from all backgrounds and people from all backgrounds and all religions who have sacrificed their lives on our
1:21 pm
behalf. nobody should take a poppy behalf. nobody should take a poppy off to try and placate an element of today's society . it's element of today's society. it's there for everyone . there for everyone. >> absolutely. that's philip ingram, former senior military intelligence officer. thank you so much forjoining us intelligence officer. thank you so much for joining us there. and very wise words. we do remember that muslim, hindu, sikh spitfire pilots indeed defend britain from the and it is their poppy to right now labour frontbenchers rebel against that man, a leader, keir starmer , was failure to call for starmer, was failure to call for a ceasefire in gaza. our political reporter has the latest on this situation

isabel monday to thursdays from six till 930 . six till 930. >> welcome back now. king charles and queen camilla conclude their state visit to kenya today . during the trip, kenya today. during the trip, king charles has expressed the greatest sorrow and deepest regret over colonial atrocities committed by the british forces in kenya, but stopped short of an apology on the last day the king has met with church representatives and explored local modes of transport, which didn't go that well to be honest. to bring us up to speed and not literally, though our royal correspondent cameron walker joins us now in the studio . good afternoon, cameron. studio. good afternoon, cameron. thank you very much for joining us. so how's the last day gone for charles and camilla? what's been happening ? been happening? >> well, i think a bit of a mix, really. if you look at the plans that buckingham palace perhaps had the king and queen had for the king and queen there, riding in there, meant to be riding in this tuk tuk, which
1:40 pm
this electric tuk tuk, which would really pleased king would have really pleased king charles. we know he's all about sustainability, don't we? yes. and get up to 60km and it's meant to get up to 60km an hour. this particular tuk tuk, got zero. the reason tuk, it got to zero. the reason being is because it was absolutely as you can see here, torrential rain in mombasa on the final leg of the king and queen's state visit to kenya. but nonetheless, i think the king and queen have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. and on the whole, think the state visit whole, i think the state visit has been quite , quite a success. has been quite, quite a success. so this morning, as you were saying in your linked on the king meeting different faith king was meeting different faith leaders hindu kristin , anti leaders hindu kristin, anti muslim and some african faiths faith leaders as well talking about interfaith harmony now east africa , of course, does east africa, of course, does have threats of terrorism, particularly with the al—shabaab terror group. and the king really all his life has really been trying to get different faith communities to talk to each other. that's what he each other. so that's what he was this morning. for was doing this morning. as for the queen she was speaking to a domestic violence charity, now, 40% of kenyan women are shocking statistic will experience
1:41 pm
domestic violence at some point in their lifetime. and the queen has championed this cause and really tried to support women in these of situations. all these kind of situations. all her royal life. really? yes so she visiting a shelter for she was visiting a shelter for them this afternoon . and now them this afternoon. and now they're on their way back to the united kingdom. it's been quite a four days for them. >> do you think they will review the trip as a success? >> i think they certainly will, particularly if you look at the people have met. people they have met. for example king on i think it example, the king on i think it was the second day at the commonwealth war graves in nairobi meeting year old nairobi meeting 117 year old world war two. veteran, 117, 117, to be the oldest 117, thought to be the oldest man in the world. now, he had he got rid of his medals or had to discard his world war two medals in the 1950s during the mau mau atrocities out of fear that if he was associated with britain, he was associated with britain, he attacked . but the he would be attacked. but the king got to personally hand back his medals to him at the commonwealth war. graves few commonwealth war. graves a few days ago. i think that was days ago. so i think that was quite a moment for the king and
1:42 pm
of course his 117 is such a lovely story. >> and run up to armistice >> and the run up to armistice day, it really very day, isn't it really is very emotional and camilla, obviously with the domestic violence thing, one we've all thing, the one thing we've all got our head is the baby got in our head is the baby elephant, though. yes. elephant, though. oh, yes. >> yes. yeah. camilla had a few animal she to animal engagements. she got to feed elephant. mzimba the feed a baby elephant. mzimba the baby called one and baby elephant was called one and a half years old. oh that's so sweet. yes, very cute. so this was at the nairobi world wildlife . what i'm trying to say wildlife. what i'm trying to say wildlife. what i'm trying to say wildlife national park and the queen also visited brook, which is a donkey sanctuary . and she's is a donkey sanctuary. and she's president of that charity . but a president of that charity. but a makeshift stall was set up for her so she could buy lots of souvenirs. so she bought some cashew butter. she bought some jewellery and lots of other stuff . and she had 40,000 kenyan stuff. and she had 40,000 kenyan shillings, which sounds a lot, but she ran out of money. bit awkward when she came to pay at the end, so an aide had to hastily take down details of the stall owners to pay later. stall owners to pay them later. >> carry cash, do they? >> i don't carry cash, do they? so how has the visit gone down in kenya in general? you
1:43 pm
mentioned kenyan mentioned that how the kenyan press covering it, for example? >> indifferent. >> well, pretty indifferent. i believe looking the believe. so looking at the different kenyan websites, it's not really a splash on the front pages at all. there are nods to it. i think the main question for them at the start of this state visit was what is the benefit going to be for ordinary kenyans? it's okay. it's pomp and pageantry, but the average man women on the street doesn't really mean much to them. but what was interesting is that kenya a youth kenya has a huge youth unemployment problem at the moment. and the king spent a lot of time with young people over the last days. he visited a the last four days. he visited a tech summit where lots tech summit where there's lots of ups, particularly of start ups, particularly digital age jobs, which young people encouraged to people are being encouraged to gain skills in order to be gain the skills in order to be employed. and the king was shining a spotlight on that and hopefully , suppose, the hopefully, i suppose, for the foreign office the kenyan foreign office and the kenyan government, that will government, hopefully that will attract . so it's attract some investment. so it's those engagements which those kind of engagements which the to do the king has been trying to do this and hopefully some this week and hopefully some tourism as well, because it is a beautiful country. >> walker, you >> cameron walker, thank you very joining

1:46 pm
a lot worse. many many homes were without power in devon, in cornwall yesterday. they've all been restored so that is over and done with. everything is going out of dover as normal. ferries are fine now. trains are fine . it's ferries are fine now. trains are fine. it's more a ferries are fine now. trains are fine . it's more a case of things fine. it's more a case of things like this. it's the rubble . it's like this. it's the rubble. it's the little things that it's caused . ed, i mean, here in caused. ed, i mean, here in teignmouth, the waves really, really shot over the esplanade here. and caused a lot of damage. i mean, the pier you can see in the background, you know, that suffered really badly there. but the good thing is that that's the extent of the damage. we haven't seen anybody lose their lives, but earlier on ispoke lose their lives, but earlier on i spoke to councillor david cox, who explained to me the significance of the pier and how quickly he thinks they'll be able to restore it. >> it's an iconic part of teignmouth seafront is our piers, privately owned by a family that's that's done really
1:47 pm
well over the years. it was featured part of muse's posters when they returned to teignmouth a few years back . so it is an a few years back. so it is an iconic part of the town. i'm hoping we can get help them move on and repair the pier. hoping we can get help them move on and repair the pier . there's on and repair the pier. there's some dramatic pictures, but in fairness to the environment agency, they gave us rolls—royce self flood defences and they appear to have held and stopped the town . the town in the 60s the town. the town in the 60s used to be flooded regularly by the sea. it's held it's held well . we're really pleased that well. we're really pleased that that's done . and, you know, the that's done. and, you know, the community is coming together on to sunday do a clear up. and i think we've we've got away lightly though . you know, lightly though. you know, dramatic pictures, though we are concerned about the sand loss at the there. we've lost the point there. we've lost a lot of the sand which is undermining the flood defences . undermining the flood defences. the foundations are exposed and in fact a beach hut was washed away in the storm. um, i guess other communities have worse situations than losing a beach
1:48 pm
hut. but nevertheless , it's hut. but nevertheless, it's a canary in the mine. it's a it's a worry that the sand is moving away. and if too much sand moves away, it will undermine our flood defences. we can rebuild as i say, the local council is here today. the community will be here on to sunday clean up our seafront. and you know , it's our seafront. and you know, it's a fantastic place. teignmouth and great community spirit and i believe we will teignmouth will bounce back . and you say, bounce back. and as you say, it's superficial damage. it can be repaired . be repaired. >> yes. on the whole, we have been very lucky, but we're not quite out of the woods yet. there are many weather alerts . there are many weather alerts. it's still in place and some weather warnings which are more serious than weather alerts. but the weather warnings are along the weather warnings are along the south coast. the alert sort of further and that means of further north. and that means there will heavy torrential there will be heavy torrential rain, particularly the rain, particularly in the south—east, also they've south—east, but also they've just recently extended that warning for devon because they were expecting a lot of rain over the weekend . and it started over the weekend. and it started right now with immaculate
1:49 pm
timing. >> that's jeff moody live in teignmouth for us. thank you very much for joining teignmouth for us. thank you very much forjoining us teignmouth for us. thank you very much for joining us this afternoon, jeff. right rishi sunak sat down with elon musk at lancaster house following the two day ai safety summit at bletchley park. they discussed the future possibilities of ai and some of the dangers , with and some of the dangers, with elon musk stating artificial intelligence will one day eradicate the need for jobs from a billionaire. remember well, security minister tom tugendhat said the uk will be at the heart of regulation for many years to come, and he's done so and now is approaching artificial intelligence in a way that is open and is engaged and that is looking for the ways that we protect ourselves as well as we open up the opportunities. >> and i think what rishi has done with the ai safety summit, i think what the prime minister is doing is making sure that britain front centre britain is front and centre the regulations safety regulations of the safety script, that will script, if you like, that will keep all safe and getting keep us all safe and getting elon to help, also getting elon to help, but also getting people mustafa suleyman and
1:50 pm
people like mustafa suleyman and demis course the demis hassabis and of course the people actually brought people who've actually brought this together, clifford and this together, matt clifford and ian is a fantastic ian hogarth is a fantastic achievement as well . achievement as well. >> interesting. now, joining us now is broadcaster and futurist andrew elianne. andrew what do you make of what we have seen and heard from bletchley and the meeting between rishi and elon musk? >> well, i think it's a glorious moment in history and i always say absolute. i'll tell you why. it was a first of all, there's a wonderful bromance that went on between elon and rishi on stage yesterday. i don't know if you saw the whole thing, but it was glorious, wasn't it? i always say that al is perhaps our greatest human achievement, but also potentially the biggest existential threat. and for two solid days they got the great the good and the unwashed at bletchley park, the home of computer cracking and the very first sort of code breakers , if first sort of code breakers, if you like. and what they did is they sort worked out, they they sort of worked out, they talked risks are talked about what the risks are and what we should
1:51 pm
and potentially what we should do to basically counteract those risks. >> i were you reassured by what you heard about? because the risks , to be honest with you, risks, to be honest with you, andrew, terrifying me. we appear to have invented an ai that is now inventing its own ai that is much cleverer and faster than we are and we don't actually appear to know what it's doing. so were you reassured by the securing agreements put in place for making sure it isn't as dangerous as it potentially could be? >> well, i think the reality is this we need insight. that's what elon is saying. we need insight before we have oversight. so we need to work out are those real dangers. out what are those real dangers. and you're right, there's a couple of aspects to it. one is we our jobs. and we could all lose our jobs. and goldman in fact, said 300 goldman sachs, in fact, said 300 million going to go. million jobs are going to go. >> that wasn't helping. >> that wasn't helping. >> it wasn't helping. elon said every really? that every job will go really? that didn't at all. but the didn't help at all. but the reality is what happens jobs we have 60% of them weren't reality is what happens jobs we have years)% of them weren't reality is what happens jobs we have years ago.: them weren't reality is what happens jobs we have years ago. andm weren't reality is what happens jobs we have years ago. and so neren't reality is what happens jobs we have years ago. and so what�*t here 40 years ago. and so what we're going to do, we're going
1:52 pm
to evolve and i think you look at all the different aspects, the changes, the the seismic changes, the advances the advances in medicine, the diseases to be cured. diseases are going to be cured. the industries. you got the creative industries. you got the beatles was cleaned the beatles and that was cleaned up.john the beatles and that was cleaned up. john lennon's basically was cleaned by i want to hold cleaned up by i want to hold your hand and all that sort of stuff. but the reality is we need sort of understanding and i think getting the 28 countries, i it was around table, i think it was around the table, including a great including china, was a great achievement . and do think and achievement. and i do think and i that this be i predict that this will be rishi sunak legacy and rishi sunak biggest legacy and his greatest one, because elon has said it was a bromance. his greatest one, because elon has said it was a bromance . they has said it was a bromance. they were praising each other on stage . stage. >> and he sort of he was quite good.i >> and he sort of he was quite good. i think we have a good habit here news, don't we, habit here at gb news, don't we, for employing ex prime ministers >> rishi will make a >> i'm sure rishi will make a good here well. good job here as well. >> that. it was it >> thanks for that. it was it was quite surreal watching it as someone expert like someone not an expert like yourself have the yourself because we have the british minister british prime minister who's incredibly , interviewing incredibly wealthy, interviewing the richest man. and for the world's richest man. and for my limited knowledge, they seem to be talking about terminator films and the off switch. and
1:53 pm
it's like i wasn't quite being as reassured as i'd like to be that regulation will be in place to make this safe. well it's interesting you say that. >> i mean, rishi is pretty rich himself, but. but he's not. he pales. he's like a church mouse in comparison to. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and also, when they stand side mean, rishi is 1.7m. >> i think elon is up there with he's about six foot two, the same as us in old money. >> the reality is this is that we have to recognise what the problems are they talk about we have to recognise what the proioffns are they talk about we have to recognise what the proioff switch they talk about we have to recognise what the proioff switch very.hey talk about we have to recognise what the proioff switch very simplyk about the off switch very simply because saying about because he was saying about machines taking over and he says, the tesla at the says, well the tesla at the moment could upstairs and moment he could run upstairs and tesla follow him, but tesla can't follow him, but as soon as get a humanoid it soon as you get a humanoid it can up stairs with you. can climb up stairs with you. exactly. need to have he exactly. so you need to have he was talking words was talking about safe words where you sort of say or where you sort of say off or whatever to be and whatever it's going to be and you on that principle, it you work on that principle, it will switch off. i always remember the reality about daleks like that. daleks and things like that. they never chase you they could never chase you upstairs, but they can now. >> they now. that's what >> they can now. that's what worries andrew yvonne, thank worries me. andrew yvonne, thank you for me and you very much for joining me and being reassuring.

2:06 pm
are engaged in intense attacks . are engaged in intense attacks. meanwhile, during his latest visit to israel, top us diplomat antony blinken say to you, has us has and will continue to respond to attacks by iranian proxies on our security editor mark white is in southern israel to bring us up to date on the latest developments on what has happened this afternoon. mark thank you very much for joining us. now, i understand the speech from the head of hezbollah went on for quite some time. from the head of hezbollah went on for quite sometime. can you on for quite some time. can you give us a summing up of what he's actually said? some of it is sounding quite scary, i have to admit . to admit. >> i think last i heard, just a few seconds ago, he was still going on heavy in rhetoric, heavy in recriminations , heavy in recriminations, accusations about israel , israel accusations about israel, israel blamed for, of course , all of blamed for, of course, all of the ills of the region in particular the palestinian people , also singling out the people, also singling out the us, the us, he said . who is to us, the us, he said. who is to blame for this current conflict
2:07 pm
that really israel is just an executive of the united states ? executive of the united states? the big issue that people want answered here is, is hezbollah going to enter this war car in any meaningful way ? it's clearly any meaningful way? it's clearly been involved in skirmishes across the border and firing the likes of anti—tank missiles, mortars , even drone attacks on mortars, even drone attacks on israeli posts . but it has at its israeli posts. but it has at its disposal . 150,000 missiles, disposal. 150,000 missiles, rockets and other munitions. it has many thousands of fighters that if they decided to enter this war in a significant way , this war in a significant way, it would be a real test for israel fighting a war on two fronts. now now, hassan nasrallah said , and with regard nasrallah said, and with regard to the talk he said about his speech and the issues around
2:08 pm
whether the hezbollah was going to enter this war in any meaningful way, he said said that hezbollah have been in this war since the day after the 7th of october attacks to great applause in the square in central beirut , where the crowds central beirut, where the crowds were gathering . he was on a big were gathering. he was on a big screen, though he's not ever seen in public because of his fears that he could be assassinated . but the cheers assassinated. but the cheers rang up around the cloudy then crowd. he then went on to talk about the issue in terms of going fonnard, about hezbollah's involvement . he going fonnard, about hezbollah's involvement. he said that going fonnard, about hezbollah's involvement . he said that there involvement. he said that there have been involved, but that is not sufficient. now that is a potential indicate location of perhaps an escalation in what hezbollah will do across that southern lebanon border into northern israel . the analysts
2:09 pm
northern israel. the analysts will be poring over exactly what he has said . will be poring over exactly what he has said. but will be poring over exactly what he has said . but i guess the he has said. but i guess the real test of whether that is what he is indicating in the speech that he gave will be what comes next in the hours and days ahead. comes next in the hours and days ahead . will we see many more ahead. will we see many more rocket and missile attacks coming over into israel from southern lebanon ? i suspect we southern lebanon? i suspect we probably will, because i think him just giving this speech anyway, the rhetoric , the anyway, the rhetoric, the calling upon those who support the palestinians and their battle in gaza to do their bit, i think we'll certainly prod , i think we'll certainly prod, possibly trigger a number of those on the south lebanese border here to launch further attacks, but only, as i say, the hours and days ahead will we know actually whether this is a full throated engage moment in
2:10 pm
the war with israel or just looking at some of the scenes actually coming from lebanon ? actually coming from lebanon? >> it literally the crowd for this speech was huge. the country literally came to a stand still, as they're saying. nasrallah single handedly determines the country's fate. many schools were cancelled, bags prepped for airport dash. should hezbollah enter the war with israel. now, as far as he's concerned, they are already involved in this war. what how much how do you think israel are going to respond to this speech? >> well , the thing is that, you >> well, the thing is that, you know, even if he doesn't enter the war in any significant capacity , he is still having capacity, he is still having a very significant effect on the israeli military because the israeli military because the israeli forces have had to send tens of thousands of their troops up to the northern israel southern lebanon border because of what is happening already.
2:11 pm
it's enough to fire at fairly regular intervals these anti—tank missiles, drones and other rockets across that border. that keeps those troops occupied and of course, as long as there is a threat that hezbollah might enter the war in a more meaningful way, then they have to be there to prepare for taking on what is a much more significant threat than hamas is . hamas fire these rockets towards israel. but really they are completely unguided and nothing more than tubes filled with explosives and propellant . with explosives and propellant. and they are aimed in a certain direction. but their accuracy is, you know , you know, lacking is, you know, you know, lacking completely , it's anybody's guess completely, it's anybody's guess half the time where these rockets will land. that is not the same for hezbollah. they do have sophisticated missiles and guidance systems that can
2:12 pm
actually target specific areas and specific buildings . i should and specific buildings. i should also say that in his speech, he praised the houthis that rebel group in yemen, that proxy of iran, another group that is being supported by iran , they being supported by iran, they have been firing missiles , have been firing missiles, aisles and sending drones up to israel in recent days as well. their leader has vowed that they would continue view their operations against israel while the conflict in gaza continues . the conflict in gaza continues. he praised them as well. so an indication certainly that he is very supportive of continued action. but i keep going back to this point, we won't really know what the proper fallout from his speech is for a while yet. we are watching the likes of we have this alert system on our mobile phones here that goes off that often indicates rocket
2:13 pm
attacks into northern israel . it attacks into northern israel. it hasn't done that as yet . let's hasn't done that as yet. let's wait and see what happens when he finishes his speech . he finishes his speech. >> right. okay. anthony blinken is currently in israel again, isn't it? it's very interesting given that nasrallah is actually saying that the united states is controlling the war in gaza . controlling the war in gaza. what response do you think the united states will have to that statement ? statement? >> well, i think the united states will dismiss it as israel will dismiss it as the ramblings of a madman, someone who wants to see the total annihilation of israel as a country and its people, driven into the sea. so you know, they'll listen more to what he said in terms of what it might mean in terms of the implications for hezbollah entering the war. but on the substance of it, of blaming the united states at par for the
2:14 pm
course, it's the kind of rhetoric we get from him on a regular basis. he makes these speeches fairly regularly. once or twice a month . but this one, or twice a month. but this one, of course, was was anticipated because it's the first time he's spoken since it's the 7th of october massacre here in israel . october massacre here in israel. well, you mentioned antony blinken there. yes, he is now in israel, having met with benjamin netanyahu and also president herzog. he has re—emphasised first the commitment that america has in standing behind israel and its need to and its right to defend itself. but also urging caution in how it conducts the war, knowing that there is a significant civilian population still mixed in with these terrorist fighters and saying that, you know, as a democracy , then it has a duty to
2:15 pm
democracy, then it has a duty to be responsive , able for be responsive, able for civilians . so be responsive, able for civilians. so in be responsive, able for civilians . so in response to civilians. so in response to that, actually, president herzog produced a leaflet, one of millions of leaflets that have been dropped on communities in gaza in recent days , urging gaza in recent days, urging people, as a matter of urgency to get out of the north of gaza and head south. he also said that israel had made over a million in text messages and a million in text messages and a million or more phone calls into gaza as well , urging people to gaza as well, urging people to move. but we know hundreds of thousands have decided to stay. some of that can be explained by the fact that, you know, they are concerned about widespread displaced , that they may be displaced, that they may be pushed out of gaza and never allowed to return. so they don't want to cede ground to the israelis or others, according to
2:16 pm
the israelis , are being the israelis, are being prevented from heading south because hamas wants to use them as human shields, whatever the truth of that , the what we know truth of that, the what we know for sure is that behind me, where those explosions are still constant, there are hundreds of thousands of people still in that area of northern gaza. >> mark. right. thank you very much for joining >> mark. right. thank you very much forjoining us live on the much for joining us live on the israel—gaza border there and bringing us up to date on what the hezbollah chief, nasrallah, has been saying in his almost hour long speech this afternoon. lots of rhetoric , but rhetoric lots of rhetoric, but rhetoric by its very nature is quite worrying. now, the prime minister says he's asked the home secretary to support the met police in doing everything necessary to protect the sanctity of armistice day and remembrance sunday amid ongoing pro—palestinian marches . rishi pro—palestinian marches. rishi sunak has said there's a clear risk of war memorial could be desecrated as tens of thousands
2:17 pm
of protesters plan to march in london next weekend , calling for london next weekend, calling for a ceasefire in gaza . for now, a ceasefire in gaza. for now, a gb news theo chikomba joins us now from new scotland. lord yard even to bring us up to date on this story. theo, thank you for joining us. can you indeed bring us up to date on what is happening, looking ahead to armistice day ? armistice day? >> yes, well, a very good afternoon to you. >> so this afternoon, there was a press briefing which two commanders addressed what's going to be happening next weekend and some of the issues which have been ongoing over the last couple of weeks. they addressed the number of arrests that they have made and also some of those other incidents which have taken place over the last couple of weeks. now, tomorrow, though , more tomorrow, though, more immediately, there is going to be a pro—palestinian protest which are taking place here in central london, beginning at trafalgar square. if you remember last weekend, it's estimated around 100,000 people
2:18 pm
were here in central london. and it's thought that thousands of people are going to be here in central london as a response to that. they have brought in some officers who will be coming from other parts of the country, 170 of them will be coming into central london as part of mutual aid and interestingly, interestingly, they are not this hearing, though , another one hearing, though, another one which took place earlier in the day, the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley , commissioner, sir mark rowley, was asked about what's going to be happening in the next couple of months and weeks if we continue to see protests like this, because as a result, community officers are having to be drafted in here into central london, 3500 of them have been used over the last three weeks. >> he added. and he did say they are going to have to think about their strategy going fonnard if we continue to see protests of this nature. but of course,
2:19 pm
attention to next weekend, though, are those remembrance day events. they did say that they are going to be putting more officers onto the street and there is to going be security which is in place and the met office did say they have been working with the organisers and they say the organisers do say that there isn't going to be any disruption when it comes to that. there has been a concern over the last couple of days leading into next week, but of course, as you would imagine, it is putting pressure on met police officers as they are having deal with lots of having to deal with lots of other events. for example, tomorrow there are seven football matches. bonfire football matches. it's bonfire weekend, ten, around 10,000 people expected to be here in the capital and many more events taking place as well. so they are having to prioritise what's going to be happening here in the capital. and just finally , the capital. and just finally, though, they are going to be putting in facial recognition and making sure that they're able to find those people who are causing trouble across this weekend and they are reassuring
2:20 pm
londoners that they'll be using intelligence and responding to terrorism threats should they come up . come up. >> that's great. theo chikomba there joining us from new scotland yard about the plans to police armistice weekend to make sure it all goes safely. theo, thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. coming up, tech billionaire elon musk warns that i will one day eradicate the need for jobs. thanks for that. should we be more worried? more on that soon. but first, what's find out what the weather's doing . weather's doing. >> afternoon. i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. there is more wet weather to come this weekend. it's quite blustery too. across the far south, but at least for tomorrow, most of scotland and northern ireland will have a fine day. the storm is clearing, but there another deep area but there is another deep area of pressure approaching and of low pressure approaching and that england that will bring parts of england and very wet saturday. and wales a very wet saturday. we still have some showers coming into eastern scotland. they'll through they'll move to the west through the evening and overnight, more showers evening, showers coming in this evening, too, england and
2:21 pm
too, for northwest england and later night, here later in the night, here comes the rain into southwest england and south wales. that will keep the temperatures up. but ahead of northern england , of it, northern england, northern ireland, scotland will turn pocket turn quite chilly pocket to two of frost likely across of of frost likely across parts of eastern scotland . the rain is eastern scotland. the rain is going to make a very soggy going to make for a very soggy start in the morning. it could cause some further disruption. a lot spray and surface water lot of spray and surface water on the roads for sure. it will edge midlands edge across the midlands and then england and then into northern england and then into northern england and then grind to a halt. so then kind of grind to a halt. so north wales, lancashire, near yorkshire, lincolnshire having a pretty cold pretty dull, dismal and cold feeling day with temperatures in single figures here further south, brighten up with south, it will brighten up with blustery packing most blustery showers packing in most of scotland and northern ireland by odd shower looking dry by the odd shower looking dry and fine sunday starts with more showery rain across eastern england should fade through the morning. bit of a question mark about exactly when and then we'll see brighter skies and some sunshine. but more some sunshine. but also more showers into parts of the showers coming into parts of the west. again, a chilly start and temperatures struggling 9 to 13 in the afternoon
2:22 pm

2:26 pm
governance conjecture, andrew m i otti. governance conjecture, andrew miotti. andrea, thank you very much for joining miotti. andrea, thank you very much forjoining us. what do you much for joining us. what do you make of what you've heard from bletchley park to their conference since elon musk and rishi sunak? what do you make of what's come out of this conference? >> so i think it was great to have a first sign of international cooperation on this issue, mainly in the field. i've called for a while for measures that take place , not measures that take place, not just the national level, but an international level. the prime minister recognises himself . minister recognises himself. elon musk mentioned this himself. many attendees did. so um, what, what the summit was lacking a little bit was in substantial commitments to move fonnard. so i hope that at least with the next summit in six months and at a national level, there will be more concrete commitments coming out because the threat we face as it was recognised by the prime minister last week, is one of an extinction risk to humanity and
2:27 pm
we must take this very seriously i >> -- >> i, -- >>i,i >> i, i mean, lam hm >> i, i mean, i must admit i found it quite surreal that a british prime minister was sitting down talking to the richest man in the world and they i get that it's more complicated, but i seem to take away from it. they were talking about terminator films and the need for an off switch . was it need for an off switch. was it a surreal as i was thinking, some of what came out of it, i think these are real concerns, even though maybe the words used were were a little bit surreal. >> um, just just earlier this year , all of the top computer year, all of the top computer scientists in the field, the ceos of the top companies and hundreds of computer science experts signed a letter stating mitigating the risk of extinction from al should be a global priority. among other societal scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war and many in this field have had this belief for a long time and
2:28 pm
didn't speak about it publicly. so we had a big coming out moment this year of people talking about this issue in the open. and the solution is not to bury heads in the sand or bury our heads in the sand or act as if everything is fine, but to take measures so we can harness this technology safely without risking everything. so as you say, some of the biggest tech companies in the world have signed up to this and, you know, many countries, including the uk in the eu and the usa. >> so it sounds like a step in the right direction , but it does the right direction, but it does sound slightly scary. the problem i've got with this, andrea, maybe you can explain it a bit more, is the fact that we have invented ai that now invents other ai . so we as invents other ai. so we as humans have no idea what ai is actually doing. is that the right take on this ? right take on this? >> i think that's quite right. and i think this is why we should take measures now to take control of this technology before it takes control of us.
2:29 pm
in many ways , current, the in many ways, current, the largest current systems are more like grown than developed . like grown than developed. they're not designed and coded fully by a people , but people fully by a people, but people design and algorithm that finds a powerful system that we don't fully understand, and we need to take big steps to understand the systems limit. how powerful they can be, and put them to work for our benefit rather than our detriment. and does it worry you? >>i you? >> i mean, you're an expert in this field. i mean, does the future without much more control worry you about what i can do ? worry you about what i can do? it worries me very much. >> and the main reasons why i work in this field is to address this problem. and i've again been heartened by the fact that this is now being taken seriously and being addressed at the international level. and national level. what i would like to see is more concrete measures. you know, ultimately the summit's final statement by the summit's final statement by the prime minister was quite
2:30 pm
light in concrete next steps. so a good first step. but now we need real measures that limit how powerful the ais can become while at the same time being able to harness those that are narrow and beneficial to us. >> the one thing i just want, there's a google engineer i was reading about this morning who says that google's chat bot was sentinent compared it to the sentinent and compared it to the intellectual equivalent of a child. and when the engineer asked the chatbot what it was frightened of, bearing in mind it's a robot should be frightened of anything, it said it had a very deep fear of being turned off. is the genie already out of the bottle with this one? will we be able to turn it off? >> i don't think the genie is out of the bottle, but it might be soon. and this is why we need some measures in place . for some measures in place. for example , one of them is to limit example, one of them is to limit how powerful ai systems are being made right now, the vast majority of ai systems are quite
2:31 pm
innocuous. they present the usual problems that other technologies present. but there is a small group of them that is being made to be as powerful and as smart as possible, as quickly as smart as possible, as quickly as possible. and that's the side that we should limit. we should put a cap to how powerful ai systems can become via limiting the computing power that we give them. and this is something that them. and this is something that the uk can do. the us do and the uk can do. the us can do and that can do internationally that we can do internationally in next months right . in the next months right. >> very much. i'm >> thank you very much. i'm slightly reassured now. andrea >> thank you very much. i'm slightltheresured now. andrea >> thank you very much. i'm slightlthere whoi now. andrea >> thank you very much. i'm slightlthere who is ow. andrea >> thank you very much. i'm slightlthere who is an andrea >> thank you very much. i'm slightlthere who is an experta >> thank you very much. i'm slightlthere who is an expert in miotti there who is an expert in al. thank you very much for ai. thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. right now, we move on as road accidents are on the rise, the safe drive stay alive campaign appeals for better driving to save young lives. plus, conservative mp bob stewart is on trial for a racially aggravated offence. we're bringing you the latest on those stories. but first, your news headunes stories. but first, your news headlines with sophia .

2:46 pm
kenya today . during the trip, kenya today. during the trip, king charles has expressed the greatest sorrow and deepest regret over colonial atrocities committed by the british forces in kenya. but stop short of that apology . on the last day, the apology. on the last day, the king met with church representatives and explored local modes of transport, which weren't really transporting him very far , evidently. our royal very far, evidently. our royal correspondent , agent very far, evidently. our royal correspondent, agent cameron walker, joins us now in the studio to bring us up to date on the last day of the tour. i believe they're on their way home now. the king and queen, they are. >> they're flying on the raf voyager, that famed vip jet, which is often used by the prime minister, the union flag painted on but it's been a busy last on it. but it's been a busy last day for the king and queen monarchs style reign in monarchs soon style reign in mombasa this morning, really torrential , which meant that torrential, which meant that some of the engagements had to be hastily put in a different order. but the king and queen were meant to be riding in a tuk tuk, an electric tuktuk, something the would tuk, an electric tuktuk,
2:47 pm
someloved the would tuk, an electric tuktuk, someloved becausee would have loved because sustainability green , no sustainability very green, no harmful however because harmful fumes. however because of the rain, all they could do was sit in it and pose for the cameras. so it didn't go very far. but you can see the union flag puts on its there and it was, i'm told, a mode of transport used by many kenyans to commute around the city of mombasa cost less than a pound for an average journey, which is slightly obviously a lot less than it would be in the united kingdom . but the whole point of kingdom. but the whole point of a state visit of course, is collaborating and strengthening ties between britain and kenya. and i think on the whole, it appears to be quite successful. >> i was going to say the >> i was going to say will the charles be happy charles and camilla be happy with how things have gone? >> think so. i think to start >> i think so. i think to start with, would have quite with, it would have been quite a nerve wracking because this nerve wracking tour because this would been the biggest nerve wracking tour because this would think, ieen the biggest nerve wracking tour because this would think, for] the biggest nerve wracking tour because this would think, for king biggest nerve wracking tour because this would think, for king charles. test, i think, for king charles. he had two very successful state visits in france and germany, but his first trip but this was his first trip to a commonwealth realm as head of the commonwealth, and he would have been very much aware of the optics of prince william and
2:48 pm
catherine's tour to the canbbean catherine's tour to the caribbean in 2022, which was pretty much very much overshadowed by the fact that prince william did not apologise for the britain's historical role in the slave trade . the role in the slave trade. the photographs of william and catherine greeting kids through a wired fence and the open top land rover looking very colonial for the king. yeah he did not apologise or give a full apology even for the mau mau atrocities of the 1950s to 1960, where an estimated 90,000 kenyans were either killed or tortured or injured by british rulers as they fought for their own independence. but he did express this sorrow and met in private with a number of the relatives of those caught up in that atrocity. so according to one of those relatives, it's progress, but not exactly what they wanted. >> do you think the kenyans are upset that he didn't apologise ? upset that he didn't apologise? >> i think it depends which kenyan you ask. if you ask the governments, president ruto, he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. he much wants to
2:49 pm
anymore. he very much wants to move look to the future move on and look to the future in terms of britain and kenya's relationship in terms of trade . relationship in terms of trade. and however, if you go to some of the ancestors the tribal of the ancestors of the tribal leaders who were caught up in atrocities and executed, executed by the british, they will tell you a very different story. they really wanted. king charles to apologise for this one. and yet he didn't. but king charles hands were tied because it's up to the british government what's in his speech at a banquet dinner. and at a state banquet dinner. and from understanding, the from my understanding, the british government's is british government's position is why day why should a modern day administration have to offer a full apology for something committed by a government six years ago? it also opens them up to difficult legal territory in terms of people bringing lawsuits about what happened. 60 years ago. >> do you think all the politics aside, cameron, i mean, you followed the role for a while now. do you think all the politics aside, if it was down to the king himself, he would have an apology ? have made an apology? >> it's a tricky one. i >> yeah, it's a tricky one. i think perhaps he would. i think he might have read the room and
2:50 pm
i think he's one of those monarchs, one of those royals which genuinely enjoys talking to all walks of life and everybody. you just have to see him doing a walkabout. he's done a number of them in in in nairobi and mombasa , just, you nairobi and mombasa, just, you know, having ordinary chats with people, which is something his late mother , queen elizabeth, late mother, queen elizabeth, did but perhaps not as much did do, but perhaps not as much and wasn't comfortable as his and wasn't as comfortable as his as her son is. however, that's not the reality, because the reality is that he is a constitutional monarch and is bound by what the government wants him to do . and that is wants him to do. and that is exactly what he did . exactly what he did. >> and camilla, i understand, was quite successful, quite popular, proved quite popular out there. >> she was she was on the front pages, a number animal pages, a number of animal engagements, including this wonderful nairobi wonderful visit to nairobi national , where she met a national park, where she met a baby elephant, mzimba , one and a baby elephant, mzimba, one and a half year old here we are. yeah, it was just amazing. photographs on the front pages, a couple of days ago. so there was 27 orphaned elephants, which queen

camilla met. they would have lost their parents through poachers , king conflicts, human poachers, king conflicts, human wildlife. but also natural causes as well . but it's all causes as well. but it's all about conservation and showing that for ordinary kenyans, you can make much more of a living through conservation action and tourism than perhaps you would through poaching and as the illegal wildlife trade and ivory trade. so that's something that queen camilla was shining a spotlight on. she was very shortly after this engagement, joined by the king at the same location . and they met a baby location. and they met a baby rhino as well , which was lovely. yeah. >> and talking of young, they have been both them, the have also been both of them, the king queen, keen king and queen, both keen to work a very young work with a very young population in kenya. in any case. some of the younger case. but some of the younger members population are case. but some of the younger meithere. population are out there. >> yeah, they certainly have . >> yeah, they certainly have. the king was at a summit the king was at a tech summit a few days in nairobi, kenya few days ago in nairobi, kenya has youth unemployment has a huge youth unemployment problem the moment. and one problem at the moment. and one of the engagements that the king did was shining a spotlight on start—ups , which digital start—ups, which help digital innovation, something which

travelled abroad as monarch yet, whereas now he's been to france, germany and kenya. so it seems more appropriate that the king can represent the united kingdom at the at the cop 28 summit in dubai . dubal >> again, not without controversy, though . the controversy, though. the hypocnsy controversy, though. the hypocrisy of being an eco warrior and flying all the way . warrior and flying all the way. >> yeah, it doesn't look great, does it? and we know how much the king likes to champion climate change. he's been doing it for more than half a century. isuppose it for more than half a century. i suppose a big difference between king and his son, between the king and his son, the prince of wales, is that prince has got his prince william has got his earthshot prize all about optimism. king charles optimism. and king charles really talk about the really wants to talk about the urgency . urgency. >> brilliant. that's cameron walker up to date walker bringing up to date on the beat. sadly that's all the royal beat. sadly that's all we've got time for. you've been watching neesom on gb news watching dawn neesom on gb news live. coming up next. it's the marvellous patrick christie's so don't go anywhere. stay glued it's be a cracking show and have a lovely weekend . enjoy your a lovely weekend. enjoy your fireworks if you're having them . fireworks if you're having them. and thank you for watching. see you soon. thank you so .
