five of attempted murder. this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on your digital radio, and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now it's back to . patrick back to. patrick >> would he actually be such a bad thing if a million person palestine march took place on armistice day memorial were damaged, anti—semitic offences damaged, anti —semitic offences occurred. damaged, anti—semitic offences occurred. there were calls for jihad and one of the most significant weekends in the british national calendar was desecrate covid well, obviously the answer to that is yes. however there are some interesting takes on this, like from matt goodwin, regular here on gb news, who said this . as on gb news, who said this. as i say, let the pro—palestine and pro hamas march on remembrance day weekend. go ahead. let the people hear the chance. let the people hear the chance. let the people see the damage to sacred monuments . let them see how monuments. let them see how ungovernable our multicultural society is becoming . society is becoming. >> let them see how the toxic combination of mass migration and identity politics is

and woke identity politics is weakening our nation . weakening our nation. >> only then will they grasp how broken we really are and how much we need an alternative to the old parties. well that was quite an interesting take. people may not agree with that, but some people might. people might say this is all what about me? okay. that everything could be peaceful respectful and be peaceful and respectful and it'll all be fine. and i'm sure that we all genuinely hope that it i that the it is. i hope that the protesters realise that it will be fatally damaging to their cause actually turn up cause if they actually turn up at all. but moreover, if they kick off. but what do we know about the protests so far? well, we know there have been calls for jihad and muslim armies. we forjihad and muslim armies. we know that there have been arrests for alleged racial offences. we know that the met police have issued pictures of more people they wish to speak to. >> we know people have supported hamas. >> we know people have committed acts of criminal damage. and we know that this is now happening with increasing regularity. what i also think people should know is that we here at gb news

bothered to call and speak to one individual who is helping to organise just some of the transportation people to london on armistice day . and we asked on armistice day. and we asked him directly if he cared about armistice day . he didn't appear armistice day. he didn't appear to certainly didn't say he did. we asked him directly if he would be observing a minute's silence and he just hung up the phone. we did also put it to him what he'd do if people turned up to the transportation in to the capital on remembrance weekend with things like banners supporting hamas. et cetera . and supporting hamas. et cetera. and he said he'd take them off them, which is fair enough in a way. but that's not the same thing as not actually helping to transport them here, is it? i think that's very telling, isn't it ? i think think that's very telling, isn't it? i think that's a vital piece of there. so it is of insight there. so it is reasonable to suggest that if the protest go ahead, that kind of behaviour will happen and then have to with the then we'll have to deal with the fallout but where's fallout from that. but where's the on this? well, the leadership on this? well, rishi issued a statement rishi sunak issued a statement saying that he'd support the home met home secretary and the met police whatever necessary police to do whatever necessary

to remembrance weekend. to preserve remembrance weekend. all right . well, my take on that all right. well, my take on that is that he's palmed it off if something goes wrong, it's on suella or the police. that isn't true. leadership rishi. and possibly part of the reason you're in the mess you're in. where's keir starmer? well, of course we know, don't we? he's busy taking off his poppy to address the british muslim population. khan. population. where? sadiq khan. well he's twitter talking well he's on twitter talking about creative industries, the environment and ironically, multiculturalism and diversity . multiculturalism and diversity. it is our politicians fault that britain is in this mess and that the circumstances surrounding multiculturalism and integration exist . they caused this. they exist. they caused this. they let us down and they're letting us down again. our powerful politicians in this country are in my book, utterly useless. it is also utterly useless trying to appeal to the better nature of anybody thinking of protesting. over the remembrance weekend . and they're going to do weekend. and they're going to do it unless they're physically stopped. so that's not happening, is it? anybody who truly felt british wouldn't. not

on that weekend would. but there we go. we are where we are as pen pushers in middle management. like to say , i hope management. like to say, i hope it doesn't kick off, but if it does, it will mark a seismic moment in britain. it will be the day that softly, softly , the day that softly, softly, overly optimistic, pro multicultural ism ideology dies forever more and people will have to face up to the monster that they've created . and my that they've created. and my message to people thinking of taking part in marches or demonstration actions on remembrance weekend would be this if you're doing something that makes hezbollah, hamas and the iranian national guard very happy , do you think that maybe , happy, do you think that maybe, just maybe, you're on the wrong side of this . one that's what side of this. one that's what i think i want to hear from you. you can email me gbviews@gbnews.com. over the course of this show, we're to going be having a look at whether or not these protests are even legal. okay. which

might be a good place start. might be a good place to start. actually, we're going actually, we're also going to be having a at whether or not having a look at whether or not we more leadership from our we need more leadership from our politicians this. gb politicians on all of this. gb views get those views gbnews.com. get those views coming in. but the prime minister has stepped after minister has stepped in after the police said that it the met police said that it would all its powers would use all its powers to stop remembrance such remembrance commemorations such as the two minute silence being disrupted by the pro game or anti—war protesters , however you anti—war protesters, however you want to phrase it, pro—palestine richie sunak has asked the home secretary to support the met police in doing everything necessary protect the necessary to protect the sanctity of armistice day and remembrance sunday. tens of thousands pro—palestine thousands of pro—palestine protesters are expected to march through london next weekend, calling a ceasefire. they calling for a ceasefire. they are trying to make it a are actually trying to make it a 1 million person march. they're very about that. that's very open about that. that's what want. but news is what they want. but gb news is theo chikomba joins us now from new scotland for the very new scotland yard for the very latest this. theo, latest on all of this. theo, thank very, very much. so thank you very, very much. so yes. what latest, please? yes. what is the latest, please? >> yes , well, a very good >> yes, well, a very good afternoon to so this afternoon to you. so this afternoon, commanders from afternoon, two commanders from the police addressed the

the met police addressed the press afternoon concerning press this afternoon concerning some of those things which you've particularly you've mentioned, particularly the taking place the events that are taking place next remembrance events next weekend, remembrance events taking place across the capital, but also the protest which are planned at this weekend. now, if we look back to last weekend, around 100,000 people were seen here in the capital, pro—palestine indian marches. and it's expected that there will also be taking place tomorrow as well, but also next week , saturday. but they have week, saturday. but they have said the met police, i should say , have said they've spoken to say, have said they've spoken to organisers who said there is no intention to disrupt at the events which will be taking place next week. as we know, there have been concerns over there have been concerns over the last few days about what's going to happen next week, but in terms of what they're going to be doing this weekend, we understand that there's going to to be doing this weekend, we un|170 tand that there's going to to be doing this weekend, we un|170 police|at there's going to to be doing this weekend, we un|170 police officersi's going to to be doing this weekend, we un|170 police officers who ing to to be doing this weekend, we un|170 police officers who are to be 170 police officers who are going to brought from going to be brought from different parts uk as different parts of the uk as part of aid to support part of mutual aid to support metropolitan officers who are working this weekend . and they working this weekend. and they say the same will be done next

weekend. are concerns weekend. if there are concerns and if they do need more manpower power. this week, though, we've heard from the met police commissioner, sir mark rowley, about the rowley, speaking about the impact that this is having, particularly on communities. those neighbourhood police officers have been brought here into central london, 3500 of them have been brought into the capital over the last three weeks. and it's expected more of those will be needed as time goes on. and they say they will have to change their strategy if we're going to see more protest in the similar fashion as we've done over the last couple of weeks. but as you've mentioned , weeks. but as you've mentioned, there has been concern over next weekend and there'll be treating that level of disruption the same as they will be doing this weekend. so they are reassuring londoners that they will be using the full force of the powers that they do have. >> thank you very, very much. just theo chikomba there outside new scotland yard . well, look, new scotland yard. well, look, we that sadiq khan has said we know that sadiq khan has said that some of the tories are playing politics all of

playing politics with all of this, it's out of his this, that it's out of his powers do anything the powers to do anything about the march. he's the mayor. march. i mean, he's the mayor. surely there is some element of power he just have surely there is some element of power when he just have surely there is some element of power when he he just have surely there is some element of power when he wantsjust have surely there is some element of power when he wantsjusii1ave surely there is some element of power when he wantsjusii don't power when he wants it? i don't know. could argue the know. you could argue the ultimate be has to ultimate power to be fair has to lie the likes of rishi lie with the likes of rishi sunak, doesn't it? and he appears to have palmed it off on suella braverman and met suella braverman and the met police. are later on in the police. we are later on in the show going having a good show going to be having a good look the actual law around look at the actual law around this. are protests legal? this. are these protests legal? do have to give advance do you have to give advance notice? advance notice notice? how much advance notice do to get permission do you have to get permission for so will be for it so that will be interesting. but in terms of the police powers, what can they actually talk actually do? who better to talk to former to about this? and the former head security, dai head of royal security, dai davies thank you very, very davies di, thank you very, very much. what does the full much. so what does the full range of powers available actually mean in this context? >> well, as you say , i hope the >> well, as you say, i hope the metropolitan police and the home secretary and all our politicians show actual leadership to me . anyone leadership to me. anyone thinking of disrupting remembrance needs to be quickly

and succinctly put in place and prosecuted. if that is their intention. and i hope the metropolitan police will show the gumption to tackle where possible anyone behaving in such a manner. they do have quite a lot of powers under the public order act of 1986, section . 12 order act of 1986, section. 12 and 14 of that act actually gives them the chief officer of police. the ability to direct where and how and when those marches take place. as i understand it. so i want to see quite clearly those organising these marches quickly told you will not go anywhere near to those who are commemorating the fallen in two world wars and other wars. that's what remembrance is about. and don't forget, there are 68 million of us apparently now in this country. and yes, you have 100,000 plus many of those are relatively new or their fathers and mothers were to new this country. and i would ask them to

show a little respect. whatever they think about the palestine israeli aspect going on. and nobody wants innocent civilians killed on any side. but to actually support a terrorist organisation in my view, is a criminal effect, is a criminal offence. and i would want to see the metropolitan police having what we used to have in my day in public order. the snatch squads. you go in quickly, succinctly and take out those ringleaders who are encouraging people to make provocative and criminal actions through words, deeds or banners. that's what i'd like to see. >> yeah. and if the police are attacked as they go in with their snatch squads, then that tells you everything that you need to know about some of the people on those protests and on those doesn't it? those marches, doesn't it? so, di, as understand it, then, di, as you understand it, then, beanng di, as you understand it, then, bearing mind that remembrance di, as you understand it, then, bearing isnind that remembrance di, as you understand it, then, bearing is basically remembrance di, as you understand it, then, bearing is basically takesmbrance di, as you understand it, then, bearing is basically takes up'ance weekend is basically takes up certainly in london anyway, a very large area. okay. it's not just that that route down the

down whitehall there is it. it's a large area. so they could put some kind of exclusion zone. you think? could they? >> well, that's what i would do. i'd go into a royalty protection was public order. i had west london's territorial support group who are their primary to take action. we all everything else fails and i like to see firm fair action taken. so yes , firm fair action taken. so yes, you do preclude anyone going within a certain area which would cause offence to those remembering the fallen. let's side with the vast majority of decent, honest people in this country. whatever colour or creed . but we shouldn't and creed. but we shouldn't and can't allow those who hate israel hate jews to be allowed a platform. and this is what we're actually doing at the moment. you know, with great respect, if you want to come from leicester, we'll have a protest in leicester and again , don't go leicester and again, don't go anywhere near those people celebrate eating and remembering

the fallen. and let's face it, there are many still this generation and my parents generation and my parents generation who actively recall the horrors of war. so we don't need all these people reminding us of the terrible things going on. but at the end of the day, there is a law allegedly in this country and that a law prevents people from using insulting , people from using insulting, threatening or abusive behaviour . and what i've seen is those precise offences being taken place. so we need to prosecute them and then we need magistrates and judges because section four and five of the pubuc section four and five of the public order are summary. in other words, they only go as far as magistrates court. but we as a magistrates court. but we need to see show some, oh, need to see them show some, oh, i don't know, conviction for once and actually put these people where they belong in pnson people where they belong in prison and there's a maximum of six months for some of these offences. if it's racially offences. more if it's racially aggravated and i don't see that happening . happening. >> yeah and we would like >> yeah. yeah and we would like to see, i think many people would like to see the full force

of the law. just one more with you, di. you mentioned there about people being bused in from places like leicester, dewsbury, batley, which think entered batley, which i think entered many consciousness when many people's consciousness when the batley grammar school incident took place where a teacher there reportedly showed a picture of the prophet muhammad to a pupil and there was baying mob outside that was a baying mob outside that school. understand that school. as i understand it, that man to change his name, man has had to change his name, go into police protection and his whole family to do his whole family have had to do so well, which is obviously so as well, which is obviously completely normal behaviour in a western but we go western country. but there we go . if it's online where . and di, if it's online where these buses are coming from and who's organising it and where they're planning on getting to , they're planning on getting to, surely the police can disrupt that or have a word with them and others. by the way, it's not just one group of people, of course. there are people coming from all over the country. have a word with them. there can be stationed maybe an arterial train stations on the way into london and they can try and disperse or disperse people that way or provide of proactive provide a bit of proactive policing what i'm talking about. >> you're absolutely right. and the to apply with the same used to apply with

football or when we football hooligans or when we had mass demonstrations and others where there was intelligence to show they were going disruption and or going to cause disruption and or violence, have the right to violence, you have the right to stop and which i was stop and search, which i was used as young inspector used to be as a young inspector at miners strike. you know, at the miners strike. you know, and rightly wrong, we would and rightly or wrong, we would stop who we thought were stop people who we thought were going trouble. men from going to cause trouble. men from yorkshire , for instance, under yorkshire, for instance, under mr scargill's direction , would mr scargill's direction, would be to nottingham, be travelling to nottingham, where i was based quite often, and we would stop them or they would be stopped in the old days when had special branch and when we had special branch and various of special branch. various units of special branch. that's were so useful. that's why they were so useful. you'd gather information . you'd gather information. information is only graded in telligence and then you would apply that intelligence. so yes, i'd like to see british transport police at railway stations and i'd like to see stop and search on motonnays or anywhere where you have anywhere else where you have evidence coming going evidence those coming are going to trouble . so for to cause trouble. so for goodness sake, it's not beyond the reason of 150,000 police officers in this country to get a grip. >> no. and actually, i think as well, to save a lot of these

protesters and their cause from themselves . and i genuinely mean themselves. and i genuinely mean that. clearly see, clearly, people do not quite understand the strength of feeling or the offence that will be felt if there is a million person march on armistice day, if there is noise being made during a minute's silence on a sunday or whatever, they obviously don't understand that because we've put that to them and they didn't understand that. well, one of them okay, fine. one of them anyway. okay, fine. one of them anyway. okay, fine. one of the organisers . so they don't the organisers. so they don't understand could understand that. so you could actually save them from themselves and maybe save anything worthwhile about their cause the public psyche. if cause in the public psyche. if you said them, right, look, you said to them, right, look, just weekend, but we're just not this weekend, but we're going leave it there. going to have to leave it there. my man. always pleasure. my good man. always a pleasure. great you. steve davies great to see you. steve davies there is a former head of royal security. right. okay so you are watching listening gb watching or listening to gb news. in just a tick, news. coming up in just a tick, we will be discussing jordan mcsweeney, zara mcsweeney, who murdered zara aleena in june 2022 aleena in ilford in june 2022 because he is remarkably won a court of appeal bid to reduce

the minimum term of his life sentence so he could be getting out early , earlier than out early, earlier than originally planned. we will discuss this madness and much, much more. that's next. i'm patrick christys gb we patrick christys on gb news. we are channel .

mornings from 930 on gb news is . mornings from 930 on gb news is. welcome back. >> you are watching and listening to me patrick christys here on gb news. now, zara , here on gb news. now, zara, elena's killer has won a court

of appeal bid to reduce the minimum term of his life sentence . jordan mcsweeney, who sentence. jordan mcsweeney, who refused to attend his sentencing heanng refused to attend his sentencing hearing last december, was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 38 years after admitting to the murder and sexual assault of the 35 year old law graduate . but sexual assault of the 35 year old law graduate. but in a remarkable twist of events , in remarkable twist of events, in a ruling today, three judges found that the sentencing judge had imposed too high a sentence on him, an uplift to mcsweeney's minimum term and cut it to 33 years. well, former police and crime commissioner and senior lecturer martin underhill obe joins me now . martin, thank you joins me now. martin, thank you very, very much . what do you very, very much. what do you make of this then? i think that the public in some quarters will be quite outraged . be quite outraged. >> hi, patrick. i've lost my sound this end . i'm afraid so. sound this end. i'm afraid so. i can't hear you . can't hear you. >> that's all right. we'll get martin back on. we will sort that out. we will sort that out

and we'll get martin on. look, i'll just fill you in on that some of the detail here. so some more of the detail here. so jordan mcsweeney and jordan mcsweeney stalked and murdered aleena. okay it murdered zara aleena. okay it was absolutely savage , was an absolutely savage, brutal, horrific attack from this individual. and he was found guilty and sentenced to a minimum tariff of 38 years. okay. so it wasn't a whole life tariff. now that in itself caused controversy at the time because people thought he should have had a full life tariff. and also people thought, well, if you're going attend you're not going to attend the actual as well, where actual sentencing as well, where often you hear victim impact statements, you hear the judge, you see the judge there, you look their eyeballs and look into their eyeballs and tell you what a vile, nasty piece you actually are, piece of work you actually are, that many people the that for many people is the visible delivery justice in visible delivery of justice in this he swerved this country. and he swerved that completely by sitting in his prison cell like the absolute coward that he clearly is. and not coming up for the reckoning. so that angered people initially anyway. he then got right to appeal. fine. got the right to appeal. fine. we rule of law in this we have a rule of law in this country. okay. in that country. okay. but in that

ruling today, judges ruling today, three judges found that sentencing judge at the that the sentencing judge at the time had imposed too high a sentence. okay. they cut it to 33 years. he had previously, by the way, for what it's worth , the way, for what it's worth, and i think it is worth it been released from prison on licence nine, nine days before that murder. now, zara's family described the court of appeals decision as a shallow triumph for mcsweeney. i believe we might be able to re enter martin underhill mba into the fray. martin thank you very, very much. what do you make of this sentencing, this sentence cut ? sentencing, this sentence cut? oh, great. we've got we've got you. carry on. >> um, well, it's just bonkers, isn't it? i mean, i'm conflicted because we have to have a legal system that allows challenge and we have a sentencing framework that the appeal court listened to . to. >> what's really annoyed me about this case is that i'm not

querying the sentencing framework. >> and i gathered . neither is >> and i gathered. neither is zara's aunt , >> and i gathered. neither is zara's aunt, who was the spokesman today when this verdict was announced. i'm querying why the judges reached that ruling. they're saying that there was no premeditation, action and that zara, thankfully, was unconscious very quickly after being attacked . quickly after being attacked. well, i say that's absolute rubbish . he stalked five women rubbish. he stalked five women before he attacked zara. zara was the sixth person he was looking to attack. and they're saying there's no premeditation. i mean, that's just complete madness. anybody hearing this story will think this is completely bonkers. this is a man, as you said, who came out of prison nine days before. he had 28 convictions for over 60 offences. he spends two hours stalking five different women. and the sixth woman, zara, who he then horribly attacks or rapes and kills . and we reduced rapes and kills. and we reduced his sentence . by five years, his sentence. by five years, he's eligible for release at 62.

i mean, that is just bonkers. i can't imagine many people thinking that this is an acceptable verdict by the appeal court. i mean, he could live for 20, 30 years on the outside conceivably. >> so he gets a good run at it. on the outside, you know, the fact as well that he didn't bother to attend his sentencing. i mean, that's counted for nothing in this has it that has counted for nothing at all. the idea that he's clearly a coward, that he's clearly not front up to anything. he's done at all. and you know, here you go, have five years . off five years. off >> exactly. it just doesn't make sense. and your average person watching this programme, your average newspaper reader of any newspaper, any broadsheet would say this just doesn't make sense . and actually, as zara's aunt said today, quite rightly , this said today, quite rightly, this sends an awful message to women and to men who attack women because we're reducing this sentence by five years on a

technicality and actually a technicality and actually a technicality that most people won't accept to say it wasn't premeditated is just completely bonkers . and by saying that bonkers. and by saying that they've sent a really , really they've sent a really, really strong message that violence against women isn't being dealt with by this government and isn't being dealt with by the courts, if i was a woman listening to his verdict today, i'd be very, unhappy. i'd be very, very unhappy. >> and if anything, he's >> yeah, and if anything, he's had a day out for it in a sense. you know, he he had a court of appeal hearing which he attended last month and left after about 45 minutes of it. and you know, you just think what's what's the point of all of this? the only reason he was allowed to actually go commit this actually go and commit this atrocious sexual and atrocious sexual assault and murder he'd been out murder was because he'd been out on anyway. i mean, this on licence anyway. i mean, this guy grinning from guy must just be grinning from ear to ear over result of ear to ear over the result of this. know that some this. and i know that some people are listening and watching this now might go, well, years long i well, 33 years is a long time. i mean, it's a hell of mean, yeah, it's a hell of a long time minimum tariff, right? so minimum those three so minimum tariff those three years. a hell a long

years. it is a hell of a long time. but there are some crimes. i think most people would agree that probably deserve full that probably deserve a full life certainly to life tariff and certainly not to have for that length have it reduced for that length of you very, of time. look, thank you very, very martin. great to very much, martin. great to actually on in end actually get you on in the end there. cheers. it's martin underhill. there a former underhill. there is a former police crime commissioner, police and crime commissioner, a senior an as senior lecturer, also an mba. as well. i'm going to read you well. i'm just going to read you as well, zara. lena's family said today's decision, a decision reduce the minimum decision to reduce the minimum sentence for that repugnant man decision to reduce the minimum sentenwithr that repugnant man decision to reduce the minimum sentenwith aniat repugnant man decision to reduce the minimum sentenwith an establishedt man decision to reduce the minimum sentenwith an established legal aligns with an established legal sentencing framework. yeah, okay. they've to on okay. but as they've gone to on say message sends say that message that it sends their disheartening. their the us is disheartening. suggesting life sentence suggesting that a life sentence may not truly mean a lifetime behind bars and it doesn't, does it? clearly, this case could it? clearly, in this case could be, i think martin said there 62 by the time he gets out and so could quite could conceivably have quite a long on the outside. you're long time on the outside. you're watching listening to gb watching and listening to gb news we will be news coming up, we will be discussing extraordinary discussing the extraordinary revelations from the covid inquiry it's been said inquiry after it's been said that hancock wanted to be that matt hancock wanted to be the to choose who lived and the man to choose who lived and died during the pandemic. that is an absolutely terrifying thought, isn't it? what kind of psychology? by the way, of an

government gathered outside. one of those was saeed ahmed alwadaei, a human rights activist born in bahrain. but claimed asylum in the uk after he says that the bahrain government, bahraini government, tortured him and stripped him of his citizenship for peacefully protesting there . now, in the protesting there. now, in the video, he shouts to mr stewart, how much did you sell yourself to the bahraini regime? mr stewart replies, get stuffed. bahrain is a great place. end of mr alwadaei replies. you were paid by them recently. to which mr stewart replies, go away. i hate you. you make a lot of fuss. go back to bahrain. then later in the exchange, after being asked if he accepted money from the bahraini government, mr stewart says you're taking money off of my country. go away now, mr alwadaei told the court that the comments made to him made him feel dehumanised and that he wasn't welcome here in the uk. he said that he believed he had a right to protest and to question mr stewart after he saw that the parliamentary records

indicate that the mp had registered that he, the bahraini government , had registered that he, the bahraini government, had paid for his flights and accommodation an to the sum of around £5,000 for a four day trip that was made last november. mr alwadaei alleged bahrain is corrupt and a human rights violator. now, in response to this, mr stewart told the court he had no idea who mr alwadaei was and that he used the word hate because of what the protester was saying to him. the former former army officer said, go back to bahrain meant why don't you go back to bahrain and make your point there? he said he was being goaded and embarrassed mr goaded and embarrassed by mr alwadaei because at the time he said he was surrounded by ambassadors from various countries and was being countries and he was being accused of unripe , fully taking accused of unripe, fully taking money from the bahraini government. now, asked if he accused mr alwadaei of taking money from the uk , the mp said i money from the uk, the mp said i made the assumption he too was living in this country and was benefiting from living in this country. wasn't insinuating

country. i wasn't insinuating that he was a freeloader . now, that he was a freeloader. now, in response to the allegation made to him that he had accepted money from the bahraini government, the defence told the court mr stewart is chair of a cross—party parliamentary committee for bahrain. it's for those who have an interest in the area, members of which meet with bahraini officials. if they go on a trip, they have to declare who paid for flights and accommodation, which mr stewart did. now the trial continues and mr stewart denies all the charges. >> lisa, thank you very, very much. fascinating day in court by the sounds of things lisa hartle there london. reporter hartle there in london. reporter now, hancock to now, matt hancock wanted to decide who should live or die if the nhs was ovennhelmed due to the nhs was ovennhelmed due to the pandemic. the nhs was ovennhelmed due to the pandemic . that's according the pandemic. that's according to former head of nhs england to a former head of nhs england giving evidence to the covid inquiry. lord simon stevens claimed that the then health secretary wanted to override the guidance of medical professionals. matt has professionals. matt hancock has been accused of not been so far accused of not telling the truth, not being trusted by some people in government and being government and even being responsible for people's deaths .

responsible for people's deaths. joining me now is political correspondent at the spectator is james hale. james thank you very, very much. a terrifying thought there of matt hancock having the power to decide who lives dies . lives or dies. >> yes , very much seem to be >> yes, very much seem to be playing god. i think look, i think you can really see where he was coming from in terms of, you should you take who you know, should you take who should decisions for should take the decisions for these is it going to these people and is it going to be a ministerial responsibility? >> to be one for >> is it going to be one for democratic elected ministers? but i do think the public watching think, watching this will think, blimey, who do you blimey, you know, who do you want is one of want trusting you? is it one of these or is it going these politicians or is it going to by your bedside? >> and i think most people would side the nhs over this and side with the nhs over this and really it's just the latest of a whole slew of claims about matt hancock's in the hancock's behaviour in the inquiry. lord simon stevens inquiry. and lord simon stevens testimony more testimony is all the more powerful fact that he powerful with the fact that he was of hancock was quite uncritical of hancock coming the few coming after coming for the few days had dominic days where he had dominic cummings and helen macnamara being very critical about being very, very critical about him. was him. lord stevens testimony was all for the all the more striking for the absence criticism othennise. absence of criticism othennise. so comments so these latest comments are just nail what just another nail in what

remains of matt hancock's reputation. >> any indication as to >> is there any indication as to exactly hancock wanted exactly why matt hancock wanted to to decide lives to be able to decide who lives and dies? >> i think more about >> no, i think it was more about who take that decision in who should take that decision in a democratic society. >> think, though, that >> and i do think, though, that at beginning of of this, at the beginning of all of this, there was a real sense of overreach. to people overreach. talking to people in whitehall and westminster at the time. that matt hancock time. i think that matt hancock was by some be was perceived by some to be perhaps enjoying this crisis more should. othennise, more than he should. othennise, i the best defence matt i think the best defence of matt hancock it was hancock can make is that it was a question democratic a question of democratic government and that the ministers ought to be the ones taking because taking responsible because they're who answer to they're the ones who answer to they're the ones who answer to the but i think that, the public. but i do think that, as the public would as i say, the public would largely nhs largely prefer that the nhs bosses these decisions and bosses made these decisions and people medical people within the medical profession in terms of prioritisation. a very prioritisation. it's a very difficult terms of difficult one in terms of obviously key ethical obviously the key ethical question lives, et question who lives, who dies? et cetera. and one that is cetera. and it's one that is going and going to have to answer and justify for talking about people deciding indeed deciding who or indeed what in this lives dies. this case lives or dies. >> there is a fascinating story on front of daily mail on the front of the daily mail today. nadine dorries reveals all not the all that's not that's not the story. worry shadowy story. don't worry about shadowy tory number 10 fixer who had a

pet rabbit butchered in mafia style warning to his ex girlfriend . what's that . girlfriend. what's that. >> it's extraordinary. who killed roger rabbit? this is the big question . i've had a very big question. i've had a very you know , frenzied chat today you know, frenzied chat today with one mp who was keen to know who i thought the identity was, but really , it's the first but really, it's the first revelation coming out of nadine. doris say probably the doris burke i'd say probably the most eagerly anticipated of most eagerly anticipated work of the heavily legal, of the year, heavily legal, of course, probably the most legally political legally checked over political books since spycatcher in the 19805. books since spycatcher in the 1980s. yeah , apparently this 1980s. and yeah, apparently this extraordinary story, according to dorries, that someone to nadine dorries, that someone with a number 10 past was once responsible for doing a kind of mafioso style execution, killing responsible for doing a kind of maaaso style execution, killing responsible for doing a kind of maa bunnyle execution, killing responsible for doing a kind of maa bunny rabbit.jtion, killing responsible for doing a kind of maa bunny rabbit. iion, killing responsible for doing a kind of maa bunny rabbit. i mean, ling responsible for doing a kind of maa bunny rabbit. i mean, it's on a bunny rabbit. i mean, it's hardly freddie starr ate my hamster, but it's not far off, is it? no it's not. >> i mean, it's well, it's terrifying, isn't it, that someone like that would ever have stalked the corridors of westminster? is there any idea as to whether or not this individual may still be me? i

don't know. an mp in power or any any idea about where they are now . i are now. i >> well, i think that there's a lot of discussions going on, but no one's been able to sort of get anything over the line. i mean nadine dorries claims are quite extraordinary , you know, quite extraordinary, you know, but we believe her, but if we were to believe her, this person she calls dr. no named after megalomaniac named after the megalomaniac bond strikes bond villain apparently strikes fear of every tory fear in the heart of every tory regime. so perhaps, patrick, it's not a huge surprise to their this claim is their identity if this claim is true, yet been made public. true, has yet been made public. >> i mean, the mind >> okay. gosh i mean, the mind boggles, doesn't it? the mind boggles. a thing be boggles. what a thing to be accused though, as well. you accused of, though, as well. you know all well and know, it's all very well and good. know , having i don't good. you know, having i don't know, someone someone even having tarantula called having a pet tarantula called cronus wheeling that out cronus and wheeling that out across the or, you know, across the desk or, you know, someone throwing a at someone throwing a phone at a civil servant or all of that stuff. but i think going to the extremes of executing a rabbit and nailing its corpse to somebody door, that really is that really is beyond the pale. but look , james, thank you very,

but look, james, thank you very, very much. no doubt you will be you'll be ferreting around to try and find out who who this person is. but, says james heal, who a political correspondent who is a political correspondent at spectator. now in just a at the spectator. now in just a moment, we will cross over to israel, the very latest with our home security editor, mark home and security editor, mark white. been fascinating white. it's been a fascinating day there a variety of day over there for a variety of different reasons. course, different reasons. of course, there ongoing conflict, there is the ongoing conflict, but there is what's been but there is also what's been taking lebanon, because taking place in lebanon, because the hezbollah has the leader of hezbollah has praised the people protesting in europe. and again , i will just europe. and again, i will just say ahead of more protests, taking place tomorrow and then more protests set to take place over the remembrance weekend. know if you're pleasing the leader of hezbollah . are you on leader of hezbollah. are you on the right side of history there? i don't know. but we'll be discussing as well who was in the right or wrong in an iconic video about people putting their seat back on an aeroplane . so seat back on an aeroplane. so we'll be playing that for you very shortly as gbviews@gbnews.com. patrick christys . here on gb news we are christys. here on gb news we are britain's news channel .

me, michael portillo gb news britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> welcome back. you are watching and listening to me. patrick christys on gb news. now the leader of lebanese islamist group hezbollah has spoken publicly for the first time since israel's war on hamas broke out. so he says that the us is entirely to blame for the conflict in gaza and it comes amid fears that the iran backed

group could create a new front in the conflict based on the lebanon, israel border. but dunng lebanon, israel border. but during his latest visit to israel , top us diplomat antony israel, top us diplomat antony blinken says that the us has and will continue to respond to attacks by iranian proxies . one attacks by iranian proxies. one of the more interesting things in fact, i think directly relevant to the british public and our listeners and viewers here in of what's been here in terms of what's been said there by the leader of hezbollah , is that he, by likes hezbollah, is that he, by likes and supports and praises people who are doing these protests and demonstrations in europe . so if demonstrations in europe. so if you're taking to the streets in this country right now and you're keeping hamas and you're keeping hezbollah happy, maybe you should have a think about that. but our security editor, mark white, is in southern israel for us right now . how israel for us right now. how concerning it then that the concerning is it then that the leader of hezbollah has waded in? i mean, i think he probably was everyone thought was saying what everyone thought he . well i mean, the he would say. well i mean, the biggest issue really to explore with the leader of hezbollah is

not what he's saying about protests in the uk. >> doesn't matter. it's really whether he was going to signal that hezbollah would come into this war in this region. that would be a very significant issue for not just israel, but the wider world. now he didn't say that he did see that the plan to step up their activities over the border . he said they've over the border. he said they've been engaged in the fight effectively since the day after october. the seventh. and those massacres here in israel . and we massacres here in israel. and we know they have they've been firing long anti—tank missiles , firing long anti—tank missiles, other munitions, using drones is to target israeli military positions and communities in northern israel. there are dozens of communities , his right dozens of communities, his right across northern israel that remain evacuated at this time, many of them down in tel aviv and other parts of central israel trying to get out of the way of those rockets that are

coming over regularly . so we can coming over regularly. so we can expect that there will be an upfickin expect that there will be an uptick in the activity in terms of what hezbollah is doing over the border , but not the full the border, but not the full scale war, that people were very anxious about, at least not at this stage. and here down in southern israel, overlooking northern gaza, the explosions of the anti tank fire coming back from hezbollah has been continuing all day long. and we heard from benjamin netanyahu saying that they are not going to have any kind of temporary ceasefire as many people are calling for, not until hamas released the hostages that they're still holding more than 240 hostages being held by them. anthony blinken , you're right, anthony blinken, you're right, patrick is in the region . he has patrick is in the region. he has been reiterating the us government's support for israel

in prosecuting this war, in defending itself. but he's been trying to urge caution as well in going fonnard with israel , in going fonnard with israel, taking into account the fact that there are so many civilians still in harm's way here. they want the americans, the british, many other allies of israel, humanitarian pauses, but israel has some very significant issues with that and how it would work. and concerns that if it did happen, it would only be to hamas's advantage that they would simply regroup and attack again. absolutely >> which is exactly what they've said as well, isn't it? look, mark, thank you very, very much as ever. that's our security editor, mark white, there in southern israel. now shifting tones, something completely different as our regular viewers and listeners will know at the end the hour. i was trying to end of the hour. i was trying to do something a little bit different. for different. this is time for patrick's pick fight has patrick's pick and a fight has broken out between two female passengers. think there might

responsible for the war in gaza. sayed hassan nasrallah says a further escalation on the lebanon border is a realistic possibility. if there's an escalation in israel's offensive in gaza. he also denied any role in gaza. he also denied any role in planning the attack . the in planning the attack. the powerful iranian backed terrorist group has been engaging israeli forces along the lebanese border. ben netanyahu told hezbollah not to test israel or it would pay dearly . in other news, sir keir dearly. in other news, sir keir starmer has pledged to get britain building again as he set the tone for labour's election campaign after touring a water bottle plant in sunderland. the labour leader addressed businesses at the north east chamber of commerce. he outlined plans to revive the economy by investing in british industry. sir keir says the king's upcoming speech will only bring more tory failure , a choice more tory failure, a choice between a conservative party with no plan for the future . with no plan for the future. >> the hurtling down. the only

high speed project it's ever managed to build the highway to british decline or the labour alternative for 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 building again , get our future building again, get our future back with a decade of national renewal . renewal. >> zara, alina's family have described the reduction of her killer's sentence as a shallow triumph, which sends a disheartening message to women. jordan mcsweeney killed the 35 year old law graduate as she walked home from a night out in east london last june . east london last june. mcsweeney, who refused to attend his sentencing hearing last december , was handed a 38 year december, was handed a 38 year life sentence. the court of appeal ruled that was too high and reduced it to 33 years in dividual, tributes have been

displayed across the field of remembrance today . the tributes remembrance today. the tributes were held at the official opening at the national memorial auditorium in staffordshire , the auditorium in staffordshire, the largest of six fields around the uk . the field of remembrance uk. the field of remembrance features more than 10,000 individual tributes to those who lost their life serving their country . this is gb news across country. this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on digital radio, and on your smart speaken digital radio, and on your smart speaker. by simply saying play gb news now it's back to . patrick >> so the prime minister has stepped in after the met police said that it would use all its powers to stop remembrance commemorations such as the two minute silence being disrupted by the gaza protests. rishi sunak has now asked the home secretary to support the met police in doing everything necessary to protect the sanctity of armistice and sanctity of armistice day and remembrance sunday is not strong enough, though. is he palming it

off on suella braverman and the met police? is that what proper leadership actually looks like? tens of thousands of pro—palestinian protesters are expected to march through london next weekend calling for a ceasefire . it sparked outrage in ceasefire. it sparked outrage in many quarters, not least because some of the organisers appear reluctant to accept that it might actually be deeply offensive . many people have offensive. many people have thought, well, if multiculture britain really is working and people really do understand what it means to be british and to have national history, have a shared national history, then you not have that then would you not have that weekend off? and actually is the whole thing legal a little bit later on, i'm going to be having a chat about this because there's again, some controversy as to is they actually legal to do level of permission do it? what level of permission should you need? sidique khan throwing hands up saying, throwing his hands up saying, i can't anything it. the can't do anything about it. the mayor it's not mayor of london, it's not my job. well, whose job is it, then? do you not have to approve certain is it legal certain things? and is it legal to actually cancel the protest? are two interesting of are two interesting elements of the for us get

the law there for us to get stuck into. before that, gb stuck into. but before that, gb news chikomba joins us now news theo chikomba joins us now from yard. theo, from new scotland yard. theo, thank very much. thank you very, very much. so what's the from what's what's the latest from inside that building behind you there? >> yes. well two commanders today were addressing the press about what they're going to be doing over the next couple of weeks. as we've seen, there have been here in central been protests here in central london. example, last week london. for example, last week saw almost 100,000 people marching across different parts of central london, mainly pro—palestinian protests which were taking place. and we're expecting to see more of those in the next couple of weeks. now, the met police did say they have been speaking with the organisers of these protests and they say there is no no indication that they're saying they're not going to be disrupting those remembrance day or should i say, events that will be taking place across the weekend next week. and there are going to be plenty of officers who are going to be working here in the capital tomorrow , though in the capital tomorrow, though there are some planned protests taking place. and we understand

from that briefing today that 170 officers are going to be brought into the capital from different parts of the country and they may have to do the same next weekend if the protests are going to be at a similar level. and they're saying they're going to be using the full powers that they do have in terms of the tech nology, they also mentioned they'll be using facial recognition target those recognition to target those who've been found through intelligence who may be causing disruption during events next weekend . but they are saying weekend. but they are saying there is to going be a big protest planned next week, which the metropolitan police will have the number of officers. and again on the sunday as events take place on remembrance day . take place on remembrance day. >> yeah, thank you very much, theo chikomba there from the steps of new scotland yard, i'm joined now by the former british infantry commander, colonel richard kemp. richard great to have you on the show . so have you on the show. so firstly, as a veteran, what do you make of this idea that

remembrance weekend, armistice day, remembrance sunday could now see protests, potentially a million strong? a hundred couple of thousand strong at the very least, be disrupted by that ? least, be disrupted by that? >> well, it's obviously essential that that doesn't happen. this is an extremely important day in our national calendar in which we were able to days in which we remember a million war dead from the first world war on armistice day. and then the dead of all wars that we fought in on remembrance sunday and it means a huge amount to so many people in this country, whether they're connected with with soldiers that were killed or not, or sailors and airmen. it's hugely important. and i think any any attempt at disrupting these events is essential . it's both events is essential. it's both insulting those people who are taking part. but even more importantly, it's an insult to direct insult to those people who gave everything they ever had, everything they ever would have to fight and die for their

country . country. >> yeah. and also for the freedoms that are allowing people to now go and choose to desecrate that ceremony if they really want the latest is really want to. the latest is that sunak has said, that rishi sunak has said, i throw my weight behind suella braverman and the metropolitan police to use the full force of their powers. i spoke to die davies, a former head of royal protection earlier on, he said to me that he thinks under the pubuc to me that he thinks under the public order offences there are laws that could easily stop this taking place or make it easy to arrest people. but is the prime minister doing enough here? people are saying that he's palming it . people are saying that he's palming it. off >> well, i don't know what he's doing, but i think that the my understanding is the home secretary can ban a march if it's if it's likely to be disruptive of events of this sort. and therefore, that's what she should do in london. obviously, it's not just london. there are remembrance sunday and armistice day events all around the country. and whatever authority we are able to do so should ban them from happening.

and the police should and then the police should ensure that those bans are enforced. it's not it's not a difficult thing to do . they can difficult thing to do. they can march wherever they want, as far as i'm concerned. whenever they want, as long as it doesn't disrupt occasions like this. in many ways it's like doing a march through someone's funeral procession. know , these are procession. you know, these are very sensitive events. it's a solemn , almost a sacred event to solemn, almost a sacred event to commemorate the dead. and as you rightly said, to give thanks in a way for the freedoms that they have brought us. these people do have brought us. these people do have the right to protest freely, peaceful protest and they have the right to go to the events if they wish to honour the dead, to wear poppies if they wish to or not. but they don't have a right to disrupt other people who do wish to do so. >> so. >> what would you say to people who that, you know , who think that, you know, calling for a ceasefire on armistice day might actually be quite appropriate . quite appropriate. >> well, i would agree . if they

>> well, i would agree. if they call for hamas to ceasefire that's what they should be doing. they should be demanding that hamas surrenders and lays down its weapons, releases the hostages and ceases firing . that hostages and ceases firing. that would that would end the violence that we're seeing in gaza now. but what they're trying to do, what people trying to do, what these people are is they're are calling for, is they're calling israel stop calling for israel to stop defending its citizens. they're calling for israel to stop attacking hamas. and what that means is they withdraw back behind their borders, behind the gaza border and allow hamas to rebuild itself and to rearm itself in a way that it can carry on firing missiles at israel, they fired about 8000 missiles in the last three, four weeks and not not forgetting, of course, the horrific savagery they inflicted on israeli civilians close to gaza before . civilians close to gaza before. now. there's no way that the idf will ceasefire and allow that to happen. so, okay, call for a ceasefire, but call for hamas to ceasefire. >> let me let me read something to you. okay. i want to get your reaction off the back of this. okay. so the metropolitan police has this. say that

has added this. they say that the palestine solidarity campaign said is willing campaign has said it is willing to avoid the whitehall area. we have already been in positive dialogue with the psc. the met commander, karen findlay , said commander, karen findlay, said to reporters. that's today . they to reporters. that's today. they have already expressed that they have already expressed that they have no intention to disrupt remembrance events. okay, so that's the very latest from the metropolitan that's the metropolitan police. that's the latest apparently from the palestine campaign . palestine solidarity campaign. they are, for what it's worth, not the only people marching . it not the only people marching. it doesn't all come under the umbrella of the palestine solidarity campaign. but there umbrella of the palestine solgo. ity campaign. but there umbrella of the palestine solgo. howxmpaign. but there umbrella of the palestine solgo. how doyaign. but there umbrella of the palestine solgo. how do you|. but there umbrella of the palestine solgo. how do you respondzre umbrella of the palestine solgo. how do you respond to we go. how do you respond to that? >> well, it's absolutely right that they should do that. i wouldn't give them any congratulations for what they're doing, because wherever they parade, wherever they march, they're actually marching against our country as much as they're marching israel. they're marching against israel. these supporters. the psc these are supporters. the psc are supporters of hamas. they're supporters of the annihilation of israel. and their support . of israel. and their support. they oppose our government policy now, which is supporting israel. but okay, fine , they israel. but okay, fine, they should they should be able, if

they wish to oppose our government policy. but let's not forget what they for. stand let's not forget the scenes we saw weeks ago in around the saw for weeks ago in around the around gaza area of israel. around the gaza area of israel. let's not forget the brutal city and the horrors and these people are marching effectively in support of that . support of that. >> thank you very, very much. thatis >> thank you very, very much. that is colonel richard kemp there, who is a former british infantry commander. and yeah, i don't know whether or not the palestine solidarity campaign would probably refute that they are supporters of hamas, but we'll leave that there now . a gb we'll leave that there now. a gb news exclusive, a labour party councillor has quit just hours after being suspended from the party over a series of controversial posts on her whatsapp story, which included comparisons israel and comparisons between israel and germany. here to give us all the very latest details is gb news investigations reporter charlie peter. so, charlie, what's all this about them? her names had martin bashir. >> she's a councillor in walsall in the west midlands and a whistleblower from the town sent us last week screenshots

us last week some screenshots allegedly what she had allegedly of what she had uploaded to her whatsapp story where for hours a post can be where for 24 hours a post can be on there and people who have access your number your access to your number and your account what you're account can see what you're sharing. >> one of the graphics she uploaded compared foundation uploaded compared the foundation and germany with and the actions of germany with israel. comparing what she described as the idf's carpet bombing on gaza with the gas chambers. now, this is obviously extremely inflammatory and charged political commentary, which which according to the definition of anti—semitism, that the labour party adopts, is anti—semitic . the campaign anti—semitic. the campaign against anti—semitism reaffirmed that view as well . in another that view as well. in another post allegedly shared by ms bashir on her whatsapp story. she also said that people should only condemn hamas once the person who asks them to condemn hamas condemns the idf, making that moral equivalence an equivocation sorry, between israel and that terrorist group. so extremely controversial stuff. we sent it to the labour party on sunday night. they only

suspended her yesterday. once we reminded them what we'd sent them, they hadn't chased it up quickly enough, but here's the thing. yesterday she quit hours before we could publish a story. we went for a right of reply when she realised that the labour party had been made aware of we'd over of her of what we'd sent over of her alleged posts . and claimed alleged posts. and she claimed in statement that she'd in a statement that she'd actually resigned last week. she'd backdated her resignation . she'd backdated her resignation. a source told us this morning you can't claim that you've resigned you've been resigned just after you've been suspended and indeed, another source told from the town source told us from the town that she was actually at a labour meeting labour group meeting on wednesday. claim that wednesday. so that claim that she actually resigned last week in against keir starmer in protest against keir starmer stance on gaza doesn't seem to hold up. >> no, i mean, it doesn't seem like either of those things hold up because you could up that much because you could argue the party should argue the labour party should have immediately have suspended her immediately and into it and and certainly looked into it and in doing they've given in not doing so, they've given her opportunity to resign her the opportunity to resign and is trying to claim, and she is trying to claim, i think, that she's resigned in opposition to labour, not overtly calling for a ceasefire . overtly calling for a ceasefire. so one might be forgiven for

wondering whether or not any of them are really telling the truth all of this. truth about all of this. >> well, here's the thing. i mean, the labour party have clearly been ovennhelmed by the response politicians, response from local politicians, particularly councillors, with regards to their stance. the party's stance the party's national stance on the israel hamas conflict, on that war there . and there war going on there. and there has a shift a concern has been a shift and a concern with how many councillors are quitting or openly actively quitting or openly and actively opposing the starmer position on this war, saying calling for a ceasefire in particular, but also not condemning hamas and being very critical of israeli actions in the gaza strip. so i can't say that the labour party kind of ignored it when we sent it to them. i don't think they did. and in fact, when i reminded them yesterday what i'd sent over, they had they did admit iteratively suspend her within of hours. so within a couple of hours. so clearly once clearly the material once i reminded them what going on, reminded them what was going on, they got to move on and suspended right and they got to move on and susp is ded right and they got to move on and suspis what right and they got to move on and suspis what theight and they got to move on and suspis what the campaign and that is what the campaign against demanded against anti—semitism demanded on spoke to them, on monday. when i spoke to them, they suspend they said they should suspend her a move to expulsion. it her with a move to expulsion. it

seems as though miss bashir has jumped she could jumped before she could be pushed. thank you pushed. yeah charlie, thank you very, very much. >> charlie peters gb news >> charlie peters there. gb news investigations reports a staggering. of these staggering. how many of these people amongst us? isn't staggering. how many of these pe(but amongst us? isn't staggering. how many of these pe(but look, amongst us? isn't staggering. how many of these pe(but look, you ngst us? isn't staggering. how many of these pe(but look, you aret us? isn't staggering. how many of these pe(but look, you are watching. it? but look, you are watching and to gb news. coming and listening to gb news. coming up moment, we're to up in just a moment, we're to going discussing jordan going be discussing jordan mcsweeney. zahra mcsweeney. he murdered zahra aleena in ilford in june 2022. but the reason we're talking about him is because he is remarkably won a court of appeal bid to reduce the minimum term of his life sentence. how has that been allowed to happen? he could be out and about now by the age of 62, so he could have 20, 30 years back out on the streets. unbelievable. we'll discuss this and much , much more discuss this and much, much more next. i'm patrick christys gb news. britain's news news. we are britain's news channel .

isabel, monday to thursdays from six till 930 . six till 930. >> welcome back . you are >> welcome back. you are watching and listening to me. patrick christys on gb news now zara elena's killer, as remarked , he won a court of appeal bid to reduce the amount of time that he will spend behind bars . that he will spend behind bars. jordan mcsweeney, who refused to attend his sentencing hearing last december , was handed life last december, was handed a life sentence initially anyway, with a minimum term of 38 years. so he admitted the murder and sexual assault of the 35 year old law graduate. but what subsequently happened is that he appealed that and despite not bothering to turn up to the

sentencing , he has had that sentencing, he has had that reduced to 33 years, which by my count, means that he could be back out and about at the age of 62. former metropolitan police detective chief inspector perry benton joins me now . perry, benton joins me now. perry, thank you very, very much. what do you make of this then ? do you make of this then? >> i mean, i think it's a truly shocking decision by the appeal court today . i shocking decision by the appeal court today. i think it shows how out of touch the judges are with society. i think they obviously mentioned that the original trial judge was wrong to increase the starting point. but clearly, jordan mcsweeney is a danger to society . he's a danger to society. he's a danger to women . and the danger to women. and the original sentence should have stood. i mean , i hope beyond stood. i mean, i hope beyond hope that this man will never be released into the public. we know that he was a career criminal. he had 28 convictions for 69 offences. and on that night, i agree with oliver glasgow king's counsel that he intended to kill. and i think,

you know , the appeal court you know, the appeal court judges need to have a look at themselves and look at the message that they're sending out to society . to society. >> i mean, he was out on the prowl, wasn't he? he was out on licence initially, by the way, which important which is another important aspect so he's out on aspect of this. so he's out on licence, massive then licence, massive red flag. then he'd stalked about five other young women in lead up to young women in in the lead up to zara tragically being the one that for whatever reason he decided to end up attack king. he then brutally he beat her, sexually assaulted her and killed her. one of the aspects to this that i was hearing was that supposedly they were saying that, well, because she was unconscious quite quickly , that unconscious quite quickly, that in lessened the impact in some way lessened the impact of it. i it's not really the point, though, is it? >> exactly . and that's where >> exactly. and that's where i think the law is wrong. and that's where i think the appeal court judges really need to have a look at themselves, you know, for them to suggest that because zara may have been unconscious, that the judge wrong to sort zara may have been unconscious, th.look> judge wrong to sort zara may have been unconscious, th.look at,:ige wrong to sort zara may have been unconscious, th.look at, you wrong to sort zara may have been unconscious, th.look at, you know,ong to sort zara may have been unconscious, th.look at, you know, the to sort zara may have been unconscious, th.look at, you know, the impact of look at, you know, the impact it would have had on her and to

give him five years less. i mean, five years left of that sentence know you sentence. i mean, i know you mentioned he could be 62 mentioned that he could be 62 when he's out. i sincerely hope that when he does, eligible that when he does, he's eligible for parole in 33 years, as it seems to be now that there is no parole hearing that would even recommend him suitable . because recommend him suitable. because like i say, he is a career criminal on that night, as you mentioned, he was out on the prowl. it was so unfortunate . it prowl. it was so unfortunate. it was zara, but he was looking to attack females and i hope that he's never released into society. but also, like i say, i think there needs to be a wider discussion in the courts in the criminal justice system to why he was given five years off of the sentence originally, because i don't think the original trial judge really could have gone strong because i would strong enough, because i would have a whole have hoped to see maybe a whole life tariff for him where the judge actually says he's never going released . going to be released. >> always a really >> it's always a really interesting discussion about what should constitute a whole interesting discussion about whatariff,ild constitute a whole interesting discussion about whatariff, isn't nstitute a whole interesting discussion about whatariff, isn't itititute a whole interesting discussion about whatariff, isn't it really? whole life tariff, isn't it really? and when you're dealing with crimes like this, it's

impossible to put any of them really on a scale because they're all horrific. they're all absolutely horrendous, like the worst crimes you could possibly so what makes possibly commit. so what makes one thing slightly worse than something with something else you saw with wayne the sarah wayne couzens the sarah everard case, whole life case, he got a whole life tariff. you know what he did there was absolutely shocking what mcsweeney was what jordan mcsweeney did was absolutely . for absolutely shocking as well. for me, the idea well that me, it was the idea as well that he didn't attend his sentencing. so at sentencing, you obviously sit through a diatribe by the judge , but also often get judge, but you also often get victim statements . and victim impact statements. and that for justice to be that is vital for justice to be seen, to be served in those situations. he didn't bother to do that. he hammered away in his cell like the coward that cell like like the coward that he so even though he didn't he is so even though he didn't bother to attend that sentencing yet, now, are yet, we're now, what are we, a year or so on from his actual sentencing and he gets five years just doesn't seem years off? it just doesn't seem that doesn't sit with a lot that doesn't sit well with a lot of people. >> no, i agree. i mean, he's absolutely remorse absolutely shown no remorse whatsoever. reason he whatsoever. the only reason he pleaded guilty in the proceedings was because the weight of evidence was was so much he no option. but

much that he had no option. but like you say, he's shown no remorse. didn't attend the remorse. he didn't attend the sentencing hearing. he hasn't shown one iota. he and his legal team have purely looked at the legal system and thought, team have purely looked at the legal system and thought , well, legal system and thought, well, we might as well chance it. i don't think you've got much hope of getting any sensors but of getting any sensors off, but what's worth? it doesn't cost what's it worth? it doesn't cost him money to appeal . so his him any money to appeal. so his legal have obviously looked legal team have obviously looked at judge has said in at what the judge has said in her sentencing and her sentencing remarks and thought, it thought, well, we'll give it we'll a spin. and what's we'll give it a spin. and what's the worst that will happen? i'd say unfortunately today he has obviously obviously obviously one, obviously a reduced sentence, it does reduced sentence, but it does send the message to send the wrong message to society. send the wrong society. it does send the wrong message the to the women of message to the to the women of the country. you know that even these really dangerous criminals, criminals , will keep criminals, criminals, will keep trying the criminal justice system. i mean, my thoughts today are certainly with with zara's family and friends and loved ones. and again, this is almost like another kick in the teeth for them where they thought they could try and move on the criminal justice system appears have them

appears to have let them down again. yeah i couldn't agree more. >> perry, thank you very much as ever perry benton there, who ever as perry benton there, who is a former metropolitan police detective, chief inspector , i've detective, chief inspector, i've got some breaking news to bring you now. in last few you now. in the last few minutes, a rocket attack on the gaza border border has taken place . and our security editor, place. and our security editor, mark white is bringing you this latest report . latest report. >> well, where we are in sderot, we've just come under direct rocket attack just within the last few minutes. you can see the media here because we're here en masse and it's hit over here en masse and it's hit over here towards this nursery. no one is injured, as far as we're aware . as you can see here, the aware. as you can see here, the back of this vehicle, the alarms are sounding in the building there. so just right in at the back of that vehicle, the rocket , some of the debris has impacted the window. but let me just take you around the other side here, because it's this area where we were running into

the bomb shelter, which is just past here, really an and the rocket has impacted just as we were getting into the nursery itself. you can see hopefully through there, the small crater in the ground there as the personnel from the local sort of policing unit deals with that . policing unit deals with that. so the question now, i guess is really was this a deliberate targeting of the media? because the media have been at this location for some time , location for some time, obviously reporting live on what has happened. so clearly, the concern is perhaps the media have been deliberately targeted . have been deliberately targeted. so some real concern here in sderot at what has just happened, a rocket attack coming from northern gaza in here. we

just really had seconds to try to get into shelter and out of the way of this. >> well, i hope mark white manages to stay safe out there. that's our security editor who has just come under fire in israel . okay. all right . look, israel. okay. all right. look, you are watching and listening to gb news coming up. it's very much a shift in tone. this actually something a little bit lighter for you on a friday. the message is simple. free willy. we will discuss this next. should britain's loneliest sheep actually be freed? it's been living at the bottom of a cliff for the last two years now. believe it or not, a british hovercraft company have decided that they are going to go and enter the fray and try to free willy. but should we just leave this there anyway? right this thing there anyway? right now it's the latest of now it's the latest headlines of tatiana . patrick, thank you very much. >> and some more breaking news in the last few minutes. conservative mp bob stewart has been found guilty of a racially

aggravated public order offence. the beckenham mp racially abused a man after he allegedly told him to go back to bahrain. outside the foreign office last december 14th. he also told him , december 14th. he also told him, you're taking money off my country , go away. the chief country, go away. the chief magistrate said stewart will not be jailed and the prime minister says plans by some groups to protest during remembrance commemorates actions are provocative and disrespect . provocative and disrespect. thoughtful labour leader sir keir starmer echoed the comments, saying he supports the police in whatever action is needed. it comes after reports that tens of thousands of demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in israel's attacks on gaza planned to march in london on armistice day. the israeli military has confirmed 260 idf troops have been wounded in the fighting in gaza. people in the north of the enclave have been facing intense bombardment. the israeli prime minister says there will be no pause in fighting until more than 240

hostages are freed by hamas . for hostages are freed by hamas. for more on all of those stories , more on all of those stories, you can visit our website, gb news.com you can visit our website, gbnews.com . gbnews.com. >> now , britain's loneliest >> now, britain's loneliest sheep could be beyond rescue animal welfare charity spca has been looking into the challenges of rescuing the sheep, but now woolly may have been stuck at the bottom of the cliffs on scotland's cromarty for many, many years , as after they were many years, as after they were encountered by some kayakers. now, a petition calling for a rescue of the sheep has gathered more than 52,000 signatures online. and the british hovercraft company , who i will hovercraft company, who i will be interviewing later by the way, have said that they might be able to help the daily star is also backed the campaign to free woolly . they are saying free woolly. they are saying

that we need to get the sheep out of there. they're a they're a flock animal. it'll be lonely. it'll be bleating at kayakers forever. more and it's in need of a good trim well. i've of a good trim as well. i've been you whether not of a good trim as well. i've beeshould you whether not of a good trim as well. i've beeshould savej whether not of a good trim as well. i've beeshould save this ether not of a good trim as well. i've beeshould save this sheep, not of a good trim as well. i've beeshould save this sheep, but: we should save this sheep, but right now going to talk to a right now i'm going to talk to a digital campaigns manager, animal charity peta is animal welfare charity peta is chelsea chelsea thank chelsea monroe. chelsea thank you very much. do we need you very, very much. do we need to free woolly ? to free woolly? >> yeah, absolutely . we back >> yeah, absolutely. we back this rescue mission . if that this rescue mission. if that comes in the form of a hovercraft and we know that sheep are incredibly social animals. they're flock animals and they can experience distress when they're isolated . when they're isolated. >> they experience an extreme range of complex emotions. >> for example , when they see a >> for example, when they see a photo of a friend, it can calm their nerves and stressful situations. so we definitely support any rescue mission that does see her out of isolation , does see her out of isolation, and we'd love to see her taken to a sanctuary where she can live out the rest of her days with other sheep. >> are you worried about the logistics of this, though? you

know, the british hovercraft company they're to company is that they're going to go and rescue woolly. go over there and rescue woolly. you're going to have to herd woolly. are going to have to woolly. are you going to have to try onto the try and get her onto the hovercraft? know, this could try and get her onto the howupaft? know, this could try and get her onto the howup actually know, this could try and get her onto the howup actually putting1is could try and get her onto the howup actually putting the�*ould end up actually putting the animal through a lot of stress. no >> well, we're not hovercraft experts, i advise experts, so i can't advise there. >> but we do understand that the terrain is rough and it's terrain is really rough and it's difficult by land difficult to reach her by land or sea. so if hovercraft is or by sea. so if hovercraft is the way to go, then we do support that. and that her support that. and hope that her rescue is done. so a safe and rescue is done. so in a safe and respectful manner. >> yeah, i suppose winch could be another one. there could be helicopter for the crane comes down winch comes down, down the winch comes down, woolly lifted up and then. woolly is lifted up and then. and removed from there. and and then removed from there. and is there any idea, though, that she should maybe be put back with her actual flock, which i think are at the top of the cliff? well all her flock are likely there for the wool industry or the meat industry , industry or the meat industry, which means that eventually she would be slaughtered. >> right. so we would like to

see her taken to a sanctuary where she can live out the rest of her days in peace. >> okay. all right. we're getting loads of emails on this >> okay. all right. we're getti|vivienne's' emails on this >> okay. all right. we're getti|vivienne's beenils on this >> okay. all right. we're getti|vivienne's been in on this >> okay. all right. we're getti|vivienne's been in touch.; now. vivienne's been in touch. woolly should be says woolly should be rescued, says vivienne. she par herd animals. she will be so lonely when that overgrown fleece is soaking and freezing cold. it will be dreadful for her. bless her. okay. all right. and so , okay. all right. and so, chelsea, i want to bring you back up . chelsea. so i suppose back up. chelsea. so i suppose the condition for rescue on your part is that she's rescued from the bottom of that cliff and she's sent somewhere to live out the rest of her natural life. i think the nightmare scenario for woolly would be, you know, from the bottom of a cliff straight to the plate . to the plate. >> absolutely. yeah. if she is rescued, we definitely are calling for her to be taken to a sanctuary . i mean, the sanctuary. i mean, the alternative is that the meat and, you know, we're not sure which box she's from, but if it's the meat industry, she'll have a knife to her throat. >> after so many months . so

>> after so many months. so definitely we'd like to see her taken to a sanctuary and not kill for me. and we do. that has been such were touch to see how many concerned for many people are concerned for her. it's really sweet to her. it's been really sweet to see so many people concerned, but encourage everyone who but we do encourage everyone who is following this story to think about their diet too, and switch to a vegan diet. it's touching. >> do you think woolly could become some of vegan? yeah become some kind of vegan? yeah some kind of vegan. martha in all this ? all of this? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> would love to think so . i >> would love to think so. i mean, again, like i say , it's mean, again, like i say, it's touching to see so many people concerned. but really, will you encourage people to think about animals killed for wool? i mean, the wool industry has been known to punch sheep in the face. ace peter has some exposes which you can see at wolf—pac.com where you can see some really rough handung you can see some really rough handling of during the handling of sheep during the shearing process . do you get in shearing process. do you get in the meat industry? they are ultimately , yeah. ultimately, yeah. >> can i ask. sorry, could i just ask do you object just on that? do you object to her being called woolly then i mean is

that actually maybe that is that actually maybe re—emphasising the wool industry and are , i suppose, and what sheep are, i suppose, in view, cruel to be used in your view, cruel to be used for? would you propose a different name? maybe >> um, i think that would be a great suggestion. >> yeah, definitely. i couldn't think of a name right off the top of my head, but we do know that words matter and words do have an impact. and this is such a sweet story that if we give wool an association of being sweet and happy, that is very misleading. it's like, say , misleading. it's like, say, sheep in the in the wool industry are often mistreated and often can be punched in the face or left with gaping, wounds from they've been shown to roughly. >> okay, look, thank you very, very much. that's chelsea monroe there, who is the campaign digital campaigns manager at animal welfare charity peta . animal welfare charity peta. later on, we are going to be interviewing the british hovercraft company who are going to go and rescue woolly. so they've got on it and they're going to go and rescue woolly. i

said for quite a while. we talk about small boats a lot on this channel. i certainly do. maybe that's one small boat that we can get behind. get that sheep saved. but adrian takes a completely different view. they say woolly has lived there for years, so leave her alone. she's used to it now. she's. she's tough and in case you're wondering. yes, i am reading all of your lamb recipe suggestions that a lot of our viewers are sending in. so thank you very much, gb views. and cbnnews.com. now now, back in june, my fellow gb news presenter and former leader of the brexit party, nigel farage, was debunked by coutts, a bank used by the royals and owned by natwest . the royals and owned by natwest. the de—banking took place, according to report in july, because his to a report in july, because his views did not align with the firm's values , including his firm's values, including his position on lgbtq+ rights and friendship with former us president donald trump. obviously this ended up leading to the bbc apologising and a natwest boss, dame alison rose, resigning on the 27th of

october. nigel slammed a recent independent review into natwest as quote, whitewashing as the report found that although there were serious failings, coutts's decision to close his bank account was lead legal. the report revealed that the bank closure was lawful as it was predominant a commercial decision , but farage and not decision, but farage and not a man to be stopped as he obtained a report from the bank which indicated that his political views were considered. so it's obviously fair to say the de—banking has now become a household phrase. the harpercollins english dictionary had a de—banking to the shortlist word this shortlist for the word this yean shortlist for the word this year, but now there are concerns that natwest and other banks , by that natwest and other banks, by the way, and natwest are trawling through every single one of their customer's tweets . one of their customer's tweets. so every single one of their customers political views, all of this stuff and that they are potentially putting other people at risk. so that is the concern . at risk. so that is the concern. but you are watching and listening to gb news coming up, the european union country,

austria wants a rwanda style eu deal austria wants a rwanda style eu deal. i wonder what the eu are going to make of that. we will head to vienna in just a tick to find out. a lot more. and i will be giving you an update from mark white, our security editor who has come under fire now in southern israel. so i will be checking in with mark, hopefully still. okay, patrick christys gb news, british news .

sunday mornings from 930 on . gb

news. >> welcome back. let's remind you again of that recent rocket attack near news media in sderot in south israel . so that very, in south israel. so that very, very nearly we had a devastating impact at our security editor. mark, why is there at the moment and was caught up in this and he sent us this report. well where we are in sderot, we've just come under direct rocket attack just within the last few minutes. >> you can see the media here because we're here on mars and it's hit over here towards this north. sorry, no one is injured as far as we're aware. you can see here the back of this view vehicle. the alarms are sounding in the building there. so just right in at the back of that vehicle, the rocket, some of the debns vehicle, the rocket, some of the debris has impacted the window. but let me just take you around the other side here, because

it's this area we were running into the bomb shelter, which is just out here, really. and the rocket has impacted just as we were getting into the nursery itself. you can see hopefully through there, the small crater in the ground there as the personnel all from the local sort of policing unit deals with that. sort of policing unit deals with that . so the question now , i that. so the question now, i guess, is really what was this a deliberate targeting of the media? because the media have been at this location for some time , obviously reporting live time, obviously reporting live on what has happened. so clearly, the concern is perhaps the media have been deliberately targeted. so some real concern here in sderot at what has just happened. here in sderot at what has just happened . a rocket attack coming

happened. a rocket attack coming from northern gaza in here. we just really had seconds to try to get into shelter and out of the way of this. >> i'll get an update for you from mark white very soon. hopefully he is still safe. now, it appears that the european union has been looking to britain immigration tips . britain for immigration tips. yes, in the first of its kind, austria has signed a rwanda style deal with the uk to send asylum seekers to a third country to ease migration pressures. home secretary suella braverman says that she's agreed to work with their austrian counterpart for an unprecedented migration challenge. the government's £140 million rwanda deportation scheme, which by the way, has yet to see a single person deported to rwanda, is currently on hold, pending a supreme court ruling. well i want to know what the mood was like on the ground in austria on all of this so we can go now to vienna and speak to assistant professor of political science, ralph schollhammer. ralph, thank you and this is a bit you very much. and this is a bit of surprise, isn't it? did of a surprise, isn't it? how did the about this ?

the austrians feel about this? >> oh, well, i mean, the austrians, of course, emotionally share much emotionally share very much the position of british people. position of the british people. but we have to be very but i think we have to be very clear and you already mentioned this, these declarations this, these are all declarations of like we have to see of intent. like we have to see any action in most any action in and most continental europe parties and governments are currently in panic mode. it has become clear that the migration policies of the past have failed. so what they're trying to is to they're trying to do is now to show kind sign of action show any kind and sign of action to upcoming elections. but a to win upcoming elections. but a lot of this i have to say, i think, is more show than substance. and i want to see something actually happening before i take it seriously. okay >> i mean, austria has signalled intent. they've seen the way that britain signalled intent and has been hounded in the courts by a lot of people. and as yet, it has been unsuccessful here in britain , a lot of here in britain, a lot of lawyers are hiding behind the or using the echr for as a way of saying we cannot possibly do this. presumably austria is going to have exactly the same

problem . problem. >> yes, i think your assessment is absolutely correct. and this is absolutely correct. and this is what's going to happen. right. this will be dragged through the courts. i think ultimately, what one has to say and know that debate is and i know that this debate is much advanced britain much more advanced in britain than is in austria and than it is in austria and continental europe. the legal framework which we deal framework within which we deal with designed framework within which we deal wit the designed framework within which we deal wit the situation. designed framework within which we deal wit the situation. we designed framework within which we deal wit the situation. we findzsigned for the situation. we find ourselves right? this was ourselves in. right? this was neven ourselves in. right? this was never, , austria has never, for example, austria has the capita , right? has the the per capita, right? has the second highest influx of refugees from afghanistan. these legal frameworks were never designed for this. idea designed for this. the idea that austria the main austria becomes the main destination for people destination nation for people from afghanistan was something that the designers of these legal frameworks in legal frameworks never had in mind. need to adapt these mind. so we need to adapt these these structures around these legal structures around migration policies . and we also migration policies. and we also have to look at things like what can we do in the countries where migration . it is migration origins from. it is completely absurd for example, as these debates are right now , as these debates are right now, to allow people to come to your country and then we talk about what can we do them. i what can we do with them. i think really time to look think it is really time to look at what we do in the places at what can we do in the places of there something

of origin. is there something that you can create, something like a naval blockade for human trafficking mediterranean like a naval blockade for human t|which ng mediterranean like a naval blockade for human t|which ng course rranean like a naval blockade for human t|which ng course be1ean like a naval blockade for human t|which ng course be a an , which would of course be a quasi military action? so we have to kind of break certain taboos in the migration debate. and i'm seeing this now. and i'm not seeing this now. i think there is a lot of this is still kind of we talk about what we might do some point in the we might do at some point in the future, real action seems to future, but real action seems to still be lacking. well, i mean, i anything that bring i think anything that can bring the individual nations of europe together in a way that , in my together in a way that, in my view anyway, doesn't actually involve the overarching thing of the union . the european union. >> so nations independently >> so just nations independently as sovereign working as sovereign nations working together out issues i together to sort out issues i think is a good thing. so hopefully it does mean closer relationships between the uk and austria . it remains be seen. austria. it remains to be seen. whatever happens whether austria. it remains to be seen. winot ver happens whether austria. it remains to be seen. wi not the 1appens whether austria. it remains to be seen. winot the rwanda whether austria. it remains to be seen. winot the rwanda scheme hether austria. it remains to be seen. winot the rwanda scheme willer austria. it remains to be seen. winot the rwanda scheme will go or not the rwanda scheme will go ahead. but thank you very, very much hope to check in with much and i hope to check in with you as well as this progresses. i am fascinated by this story, so make sure we stay in touch as assistant of political assistant professor of political science, ralph schollhammer there. minister, there. now the prime minister, this just through

this has just got through to us. the minister stepped the prime minister has stepped in. know this after the in. yes, we know this after the met said it would met police said that it would use powers to stop the use all its powers to stop the remembrance commemorations being essentially ruined by the gaza protest you want to protest or whatever you want to call them, pro—palestine demonstrations is demonstrations. anyway, this is the bit foreign secretary the new bit foreign secretary james cleverly agrees with the prime minister. armistice day should not interrupted by the should not be interrupted by the protest let's hear from him. protest. let's hear from him. >> decision to how we might >> decision as to how we might respond and to potential protests will be one that is made across government and will be communicated in due course of our traditional british culture. there is to ask of people that they may conduct themselves appropriately and that they make personal decisions that reflect the broader needs of society. of course, if we need to take action, we are not afraid to do so. but what we have said is people should reflect on what armistice day and remembrance sunday is about and to respect

that. >> okay. all right. it's interesting asking people to reflect on what armistice day is all about, isn't it? but they're not. they don't care . a lot of not. they don't care. a lot of those people we've asked them whether or not they care. we asked one of the people who's looking to transport people from other parts of the uk into london on this. we asked them if they and they they cared about it and they didn't that they did at all. didn't say that they did at all. so, know, are we on another so, you know, are we on another kind of thoughts and prayers mission opposed mission here as opposed to actual for actual action? but time for something completely different. chimpan military chimpan z's are using military style tactics to gain advantages over their enemies . that's over their enemies. that's according to new research obtained by tracking two neighbouring groups of chimps in west africa. before we continue , west africa. before we continue, i know that chimpanzees are not gorillas, but we couldn't come up with a better headline other than gorilla warfare. okay, if you've got one, send them in. but i'm all ears on that. but we couldn't come up with one, so we just went for guerrilla warfare anyway. and then we did that right with some i, i, yeah,

that's a good. oh we've done loads of them. how many of these have we got. that's a few of them. any more. that's two gorillas with a gun. oh another one. right. okay good, good. it's almost like we're not taking this story that seriously, isn't it? if you're listening on radio, i would strongly to go play strongly urge you to go and play that clip so there we go. that clip back. so there we go. right apparently, they're using military style tactics to protect their territory. and so we did that. now yes, very much another shift in tone here. todayis another shift in tone here. today is the last day that you can donate to the poppy appeal. and are now setting a and we are now setting at a total of just over £223,000 worth of donations to the royal british legion. so well done, everybody. thank you . thank you. everybody. thank you. thank you. thank you only have until thank you. you only have until midnight do nato midnight tonight to do nato because we are slamming the donation. so it's just giving.com/page fonnard slash gb news. poppy. it's just giving.com/page fonnard slash gb news. poppy. it's going to the british legion and it's all going to help veterans with

cleverly says the focus should remain on remembrance. >> our traditional british culture is to ask of people all that they conduct themselves appropriately and that they make personal decisions that reflect what the broader needs of society be. of course, if we need to take action, we are not afraid to do so . but what we afraid to do so. but what we have said is people should reflect, act on what armistice day and remembrance sunday is about about. and to respect that , the israeli military has confirmed 260 idf troops have been wounded in the fighting in gaza. >> people in the north of the enclave have been facing intense bombardment. the israeli prime minister says there will be no pause in fighting until more than 240 hostages are freed by hamas . it than 240 hostages are freed by hamas. it comes as the us secretary of state has been meeting with benjamin netanyahu to discuss steps to minimise civilian casualties . anthony

civilian casualties. anthony blinken said a humanity korean pause was important to help get aid into the strip. scott scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, says his family has been able to leave gaza through the rafah crossing. they're among 92 british nationals trapped in the enclave that are approved to travel through into egypt today as the border opens again for limited evacuations. palestinian officials say more than 700 foreign nationals have crossed in the past two days, including dozens of critically injured people . hezbollah's leader has people. hezbollah's leader has made his first public comments since hamas and israel went to war, saying the us is responsible for the war in gaza. sayed hassan nasrallah says a further escalation on the lebanon border is a realistic possibility. if there's an escalation in israel's offensive in gaza . he also denied any role in gaza. he also denied any role in gaza. he also denied any role in planning the attack. the powerful iranian backed terrorist group has been engaging israeli forces along the nepalese border. benjamin netanyahu told hezbollah not to

test israel or it would pay dearly . meanwhile, the media dearly. meanwhile, the media have ripped reportedly come under a hamas rocket attack on the gaza border . it appears the the gaza border. it appears the rocket impact at an empty nursery next to the bomb shelter which members of the media were running to, there were no serious injuries as we know it, but vehicles were damaged and the rocket could be seen in the playground of that nursery . playground of that nursery. well, our security editor , mark well, our security editor, mark white, is at the gaza border . white, is at the gaza border. >> we were running into the bomb shelter, which is just here, really. and the rocket has impacted just as we were getting into the nursery itself . if you into the nursery itself. if you can see, hopefully through there, the small crater in the ground there as the personnel from the local sort of policing unit deals with that . so the

unit deals with that. so the question now, i guess is really was this a deliberate targeting of the media? because the media have been at this location for some time of obviously reporting live on what has happened. so clearly, the concern is perhaps the media have been deliberately targeted. so some real concern here in sderot at what has just happened , a rocket attack coming happened, a rocket attack coming from northern gaza in here. we just really had seconds to try to get into shelter and out of the way of this conservative mp bob stewart has been found guilty of a racially aggravated pubuc guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence. >> the beckenham mp racially abused a man after he allegedly told him to go back to bahrain outside the foreign office last december. he also told him , december. he also told him, you're taking money off my country , go away, the chief country, go away, the chief magistrate said stewart will not be jailed . zara aleena family be jailed. zara aleena family have described the reduction of

her killer's sentence as a shallow triumph, which sends a disheartening message to women. jordan mcsweeney killed the 35 year old law graduate as she walked home from a night out in east london last june. mcsweeney, who refused to attend his sentencing hearing last december , was handed a 38 year december, was handed a 38 year life sentence . the court of life sentence. the court of appeal ruled that was too high and reduced it to 33 years and individual tributes have been displayed across the field of remembrance today, the tributes were held at the official opening at the national memorial auditorium in staffordshire, the largest of six fields around the uk. that field of remembrance features more than 10,000 individual tributes to those who lost their life serving their country . this is gb news across country. this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on digital radio, and on your smart speaken digital radio, and on your smart speaker. by saying play gb news now it's back to . patrick

now it's back to. patrick >> would it actually be such a bad thing if a million person pro palestine march took place on armistice day memorials were damaged. anti—semitic offences damaged. anti —semitic offences occurred. damaged. anti—semitic offences occurred. there were calls for jihad and one of the most significant weekends in the british national calendar was desecrated . well, obviously, the desecrated. well, obviously, the answer to that is yes. however, there are some interesting takes on this. like from matt goodwin, who's a regular here on gb news. he said this. i say let the pro—palestine pro hamas march on remembrance day weekend. go ahead. let the people hear the chance. people see the chance. let the people see the damage to sacred monuments. let them how ungovernable our them see how ungovernable our multicolour society becoming. multicolour society is becoming. let see how the toxic let them see how the toxic combination of mass migration and identity politics is and woke identity politics is weakening our nation. only then will they grasp how broken we really are and how much we need an alternative to the old parties. people might say this is all whataboutery that everything could be peaceful and respectful and it'll all be fine . and i really hope it is. i

hope that the protesters realise that it will be fatally damaging to their cause if they actually turn up at all. but moreover, if they kick off. but what do we know about these protests so far ? well, we know that there have been calls jihad, muslim been calls for jihad, muslim armies . we know that there have armies. we know that there have been arrests for alleged racial offences . we know that the met offences. we know that the met police have issued pictures of more people they wish to speak to. we know people have supported we know people supported hamas. we know people have of criminal have committed acts of criminal damage know that damage. and we also know that this now happening with this is now happening with increasing . what increasing regularity. what i also think people should know is that we here at gb news actually bothered to call and speak to an individual who is organising the transportation of people to london on armistice day. and we asked directly if he cared asked him directly if he cared about armistice day. he appeared to not care about that. we asked him directly if he would be observing a minute's silence over the course of the weekend or would encourage some demonstrators to do so. he just muttered something and hung up the phone . we asked him what

the phone. we asked him what he'd do if people turned up to the transportation he was organising to the capital on remembrance weekend with banners supporting hamas . he said he'd supporting hamas. he said he'd take them off them, not that he wouldn't still bring them to the capital and i think that's very telling, isn't it? i think that's quite a vital piece of insight there. so is this reasonable to suggest that the protests go ahead and that kind of behaviour will happen and then we will just have to deal with the fallout from that, won't we? where's leadership won't we? where's the leadership on this , though? well, on all of this, though? well, rishi statement rishi sunak issued a statement saying he'd support the home secretary and the met police to do whatever is necessary to preserve weekend . preserve remembrance weekend. okay. on that is that okay. my take on that is that he's it if something he's palmed it off if something goes it's on suella or goes wrong, it's on suella or the police. that rishi is not true leadership. and part of the reason you're in the mess you are was keir starmer. well, we know where he is. he's busy taking off his poppy address taking off his poppy to address the population. the british muslim population. where's the deep gone? he's on twitter talking about creative industries , the environment and

industries, the environment and ironically , multiculturalism . it ironically, multiculturalism. it is our politicians fault that britain is in this mess. but the circumstances surrounding multiculturalism and integration exist. they cause this and they let us down and they're letting us down again . our powerful us down again. our powerful politicians in this country are, in my book, utterly useless. it is also utterly useless trying to appeal to the better nature of anybody thinking of protesting on remembrance weekend. they're going to do it unless they're physically stopped from doing it. so it's happening, isn't it? anybody who truly felt british wouldn't know on that weekend. but there we go . we are where we are as the pen pushers in middle management like say , i hope it doesn't like to say, i hope it doesn't kick off, but if it does, it will. mark a seismic moment in britain . it will be the day that britain. it will be the day that softly, softly, overly optimistic pro multiculturalism, ideology dies forever and people will have to face up to the monster that they've created. my message to people thinking of taking part in marches or

demonstrations on remembrance weekend would be this if you're doing something that makes hezbollah, hamas and the iranian national guard very happy, do you think that maybe just that maybe you're on the wrong side of this . one well , that's what i of this. one well, that's what i think i want to hear from you, gbviews@gbnews.com. within the last half an hour, a swell of braverman has also piped up now and that backs the and said that she backs the prime who's backed her prime minister who's backed her on metropolitan police doing on the metropolitan police doing whatever these whatever it takes to stop these protests. okay. well the protests. right. okay. well the prime that there's protests. right. okay. well the p|clear that there's protests. right. okay. well the p|clear and that there's protests. right. okay. well the p|clear and present that there's protests. right. okay. well the p|clear and present risk: there's protests. right. okay. well the p|clear and present risk that'e's a clear and present risk that war memorials could be desecrated next weekend when tens thousands i mean, they tens of thousands i mean, they want million by the want a million people, by the way. they want a million person march. take to the streets at least. they're claiming least. well, they're claiming anyway to be in the name of gaza. rishi sunak has asked the home secretary to support the met will that be enough? met police will that be enough? i just ban it, i mean, he could just ban it, couldn't ? he said that couldn't he? he said that holding a pro—palestine protest

on armistice potentially on armistice day potentially distributing the sorry disturbing the two minute silence would provocateur and silence would be provocateur and disrespectful . i'm just disrespectful. i'm just wondering whether or not it's illegal, though, and should it be? joining us now to discuss this further is human rights lawyer haig . david, thank lawyer david haig. david, thank you. great to you the you. great to have you on the show. it be well, would it show. would it be well, would it be legal to stop the march? is the march legal in taking place as it is? two quite interesting legal points. there to take it away . away. >> i think it's a very complex area, as you can imagine. >> i mean, i think the first thing to say is that i am certain that serious criminal acts will take place if that march ahead laws will march goes ahead and laws will be broken . be broken. >> but to go backwards, i mean, we have under european law, we all have under european law, we all have under european law, we have a right to protest it. >> it's called a right to assembly and a right to freedom of expression. >> that's something that >> so that's the something that gives the right for these protests. >> now, those have been limited significantly this last year with new legislation brought in by suella braverman . by suella braverman. >> effectively 1 in 1, the

police crime and sentencing and courts act and the other the pubuc courts act and the other the public order act. those two pieces of legislation gave the police significant powers. >> and you may remember there was lots of upset with other ngos complaining about the amount that police now amount of powers that police now had so the police can stop marches, they can read , direct marches, they can read, direct them and certain things in marches, for instance, damaging property, etcetera. we all see the just stop oil protests, sitting roads are criminal offences. so the powers are there to actually , you know, there to actually, you know, stop these marches if they want to. and people will do things, i'm sure, which will be criminal acts. now on top of that, when you have a march, when you organise a protest, whether it's a few people on a street corner or a large march like this in london, you have to notify the police . you know, you can go police. you know, you can go online. it's a very form, online. it's a very easy form, a little bit of information. and a few days before it's not requesting, it's just notifying them effectively. them and that's it effectively. i i as human lawyer i mean, i as human rights lawyer to lots protests to organised lots of protests never responded to by

never once been responded to by the police and then certain aspects of a protest you might need to get permission from the council . so i need to get permission from the council. so i think the march going, if it was perfectly peaceful and it didn't disrupt roads, it didn't damage property, didn't have criminal acts that would technically be legal. but i think we all know that those things are probably very much likely to happen . in very much likely to happen. in turned from various different security actors as well, saying, well, we think that the iranian national guard are potentially trying to do their best to cause as much disruption as possible. >> rishi sunak saying that, you know, we should expect some kind of terrorism at some point. and you just wonder, have they not got at moment got enough grounds at the moment aside from moral decency aside from just moral decency and a massive, massive date in the british national calendar, have they got not got enough grounds to just call this off pre—emptively ? pre—emptively? >> sorry, i can't hear you, patrick. >> oh, that's all right, david. don't worry. we'll try and get we'll try and we'll try and get

david's david's speaker system sorted there. but look, i'll delve into the gb news inbox. why not? because i think a lot of people feel incredibly strongly about this and a lot of people emailing in still about keir taking keir starmer taking his poppy off addressing off when he was addressing people over islamophobia awareness sir floppy awareness month. will sir floppy wear on remembrance day wear a poppy on remembrance day only it gets him votes . he only if it gets him votes. he has either way. that's from has not either way. that's from jim and yeah that was massively controversial wasn't it? why would keir starmer think it would keir starmer think it would be a wise thing to do to take the poppy off? if you're addressing the british muslim community over islamophobia awareness month, i find that bizarre. gb views the gbnews.com. but we're moving on now because zara , alina's now because zara, alina's killer, remarkably won killer, has remarkably won a court of appeal bid to reduce the amount of time he'll spend behind bars in a decision that her calls a shallow her family calls a shallow triumph for him . jordan triumph for him. jordan mcsweeney, who refused to attend his sentencing hearing last december , was handed life december, was handed a life sentence with minimum term of sentence with a minimum term of 38 after admitting the 38 years after admitting the murder and sexual assault of the

35 year old law graduate . 35 year old law graduate. joining me now is mike neville is a former metropolitan police detective. mike jordan mcsweeney says stalked other girls, women on that evening. he was out on licence. he didn't bother to attend his sentencing. he stayed in the cells like a coward and here we are. he's now getting five years off his minimum tariff. this doesn't really seem like proper justice. or does it? >> it doesn't at all, does it? >> it doesn't at all, does it? >> and when you consider that he's 33 years, he's only 30 years old, so he could be out at 63. >> so he's got a life ahead of him. whereas victim has no life at all. and let's bear in mind some other numbers. he was only nine days out of prison when he did this. and as you say, he didn't attend the sentencing. so in my mind, that should mean another ten years. so it's just disgusting. and i think the pubuc disgusting. and i think the public will see this and they just know that politicians have lied to them when the when they got rid of the death sentence,

they told everybody that life would mean life, not just some would mean life, notjust some inconvenience. so he can come out at 63 years and 63 years old and live on its absolutely disgusting. i'm a advocate of the death penalty and i offer my services as the hangman for people like this. they're just they're just a drain on the taxpayer now. they're wicked and evil people who as i say, a sex offender and murderer . he should offender and murderer. he should not be ever, ever released . not be ever, ever released. >> one of the mitigating factors apparently, was that zara aleena was supposedly rendered unconscious quite quickly during this attack like that, some kind of. well, yeah, mitigating factor. i mean, it's not really, is it? surely a pattern . is it? surely a pattern. >> i just don't see the i don't see the logic of this. and i've seen the arguments of his of his lawyer. and i know people have got to make a living and stuff, but and i know that people have got to be properly defended. but i sometimes wonder how people sleep at night, know, get in sleep at night, you know, get in this character five years off

being in prison he could come being in prison so he could come out and be a possibly potentially be a danger again , potentially be a danger again, it's just i think the public see that the established and that includes judges and these lawyers involved in this sort of thing, they're completely detached from some sort of reality. they they are playing some kind of game. but we're not playing games here. these are people's lives. this is a lovely girl who's who was studying, you know, studying hard . his life know, studying hard. his life has been wiped out, whose family have been absolutely devastated . have been absolutely devastated. covid and they're saying he should get out with less, with less time. i just don't comprehend what's going on. it's also it's also the message it sends out to other potential offenders as well, which is something that zara aleena family have alluded to. >> know, everywhere >> you know, women everywhere now will be looking at this and thinking the most thinking you can do the most literally most unspeakable literally the most unspeakable thing extreme thing thing and most extreme thing that could possibly do, that you could possibly do, having posed having already posed a significant threat to other women . on that same evening . no

women. on that same evening. no doubt before at some point, as well. and could be out when well. and you could be out when you're 62 or 63 years old and have 20, 30 years of a life quite possibly at the taxpayer's expense . i mean, quite possibly at the taxpayer's expense. i mean, i quite possibly at the taxpayer's expense . i mean, i very much expense. i mean, i very much doubt that he's going to be able to stand on his own two feet. is he? what message does that send out? >> well, it sends a terrible message. and violence against women and girls is absolutely horrendous. got three horrendous. i've got three daughters. the that men daughters. and the idea that men like stalking the like this are stalking the streets terrible. and when streets is terrible. and when you read the legal arguments, one was, well, he didn't one of them was, well, he didn't really intend kill her. he really intend to kill her. he sort of only intended to do a rape. and the murder happened as a bit of a, you know, a consequence of all this. and it's just it's just ridiculous. i mean, the public need to see that wicked and evil people are locked away and locked away forever or hanged. one of the latter would be favoured by me because these are cases without any doubt where he's captured on cctv and there's potentially dna

evidence s and the like. and it just tells it tells the people or the women who just want to get about their business, go , go get about their business, go, go to work, go to study, go out at night. but somehow the wicked people can can attack them. and this is what happens. >> okay, mike, thank very >> okay, mike, thank you very much ever. that's mike much as ever. that's mike neville former neville there, former metropolitan police detective. i've news to i've got some breaking news to bnng i've got some breaking news to bring heba al—hayy , bring you because heba al—hayy, 29 years old, and pauline ankunda, who's 26, have been charged under the terrorism act in connection with displaying images of a paraglider. the crown prosecution service has said that is following an incident at a protest in london on october the 14th. so i'll just reread that for you. that's breaking news just coming to us right now, which is heba al—hayy, 29 years old, and pauune al—hayy, 29 years old, and pauline ankunda , 26, have been pauline ankunda, 26, have been charged under the terrorism act in connection with displaying images a paraglider. that's images of a paraglider. that's according to the crown prosecution service, and that follows an incident at a protest

in london on october the 14th. coming up , mp in london on october the 14th. coming up, mp miriam cates has bemoaned the kids going to school in nappies. i'm not surprised. are there parents failing the kids? is this bad parenting lazy parenting, or is this a indictment on where we are as a society at the moment? people working too hard. they can't have the time to potty train their kids . can't have the time to potty train their kids. i think i know which side a lot of our viewers and listeners will be on. patrick christys gb news, britain's news channel

that i knew had dewbs & co that i knew had dewbs& co weeknights from . six weeknights from. six >> welcome back. you are watching and listening to me patrick christys right here on gb news. now have we got a nappy crisis as well? conservative mp miriam cates has warned of the alarming number of young children who start school still wearing nappies. but why is this to do with our parenting? or do working families do not have time to potty train? well, last night i spoke to miriam cates to get her thoughts on this is a massive deal for schools . massive deal for schools. >> just to start with. no, i've spoken to headteachers who are having to move teaching assistants down from higher years in primary school into the lower years to change lower years just to change nappies and clear up mess. so we're talking about children aged 4—4 five. i have heard aged 4—4 and five. i have heard of children as old as six in so first or second year of primary school, but we're primarily

talking about children who start school in nappies. it isn't school in nappies. and it isn't just a uk phenomenon. i spoke to a dutch mp at this conference. we're talking who said we're talking about who said that there has been an extraordinary rise. also in holland of children starting school, not wearing nappies. >> a problem >> so this is a problem for schools, it's even bigger schools, but it's an even bigger problem . problem for children. >> i just find it odd. it's look , maybe i'm way out of touch. i'm not a parent, by the way, so i'm not a parent, by the way, so i'm going to, you know, throw my hands up to that one. maybe it is. well, it already looks pretty difficult, but maybe it's even more difficult. i would have though, potty have thought, though, that potty training basic of training was a basic aspect of parenting, i'm wrong parenting, but maybe i'm wrong about that. joining me now is political commentator belinda de lucy. belinda, thank you very much. there any excuse for much. is there any excuse for sending your to school in in sending your kid to school in in nappies, you think, uh , i nappies, do you think, uh, i don't on the whole, no. >> i mean, call me old fashioned, patrick, but parenting begins at home. it does not begin in the classroom . does not begin in the classroom. um, and i think the more the state intervenes and takes over and substitutes the role of

parents, the worse off every one is. >> and i think they should be doing less. >> i think it's deeply unfair on teachers as well. how are we going to attract quality and the best into the teaching profession if they're now expected to pick up and have to fix all of the failure of poor parenting that started in the home? i think there are a number of factors that have led us to this sort of breakdown in in in just basic duty of care to one's child. and i don't think it is just about cost of living. i think we've got this sort of climate where the sort of there's been a social devaluing of parenthood and the increased screen time for young children is almost encouraged. neglectful parenting as well. you know, you can just shove a screen, an ipad in front of a three, four year old and, you know, a parent gets to gets to relax. i think that that hasn't helped either. but i

do think, you know, back in my day, it was about honour. it was about duty and service to your child. this this beautiful creature that you you've created to give it the coping mechanism , to give it the coping mechanism, arms and the equipment to deal with life and school . so by the with life and school. so by the time your child is four, if you've invested in your child up until those years, you will find it much easier parenthood, much easier and teenhood much easier if you discipline them in their in their early years. and i do think it's a shame that we now have created this kind of culture where if a school is going to teach your child manners and politeness and respect, why would you have to bother at home? and i think it's a terrible culture and we should refocus back on the value of motherhood and fatherhood and celebrate them. instead of handing it off to the state because we do not want our children being brought up by the state. patrick sir. >> well, you know, the idea that potty training can be traumatic

for the child, well, i would politely suggest that maybe your child school in a nappy child to going school in a nappy and have someone and having to have someone change of their change that in front of their very peers might indeed very young peers might indeed be more traumatic going fonnard . more traumatic going fonnard. >> well, is the thing. i >> well, this is the thing. i mean , actually bringing your mean, actually bringing your children up understand that children up to understand that there challenges that they there are challenges that they must face, that they have to put the and the effort in to the work and the effort in to get results. and that can get results. yes. and that can mean a little bit of conflict. but so what? that's your that's your job. but so what? that's your that's yourjob. you're actually doing your job. you're actually doing your job. you're actually doing your a huge disservice by your child a huge disservice by not teaching it. the basic equipping it for just socialising. i think lockdown hasn't helped and i don't think, you know, you get a lot of middle class wealthy parents as well , all sort of middle class wealthy parents as well, all sort of giving their child up absolutely everything and never saying no to a child and never saying no to a child and this sort of soft touch parenting that hasn't helped so that when the child suddenly gets into a classroom and hears the word no , you know, they have the word no, you know, they have a tantrum and it's the disruptive behaviour of children in the classroom has been

increased . sing for teachers for increased. sing for teachers for years, well before the cost of living crisis has been ongoing. report after report 1015 years ago have been of teachers saying, you know, they've i've never experienced such disrespect towards people in authority and i think that comes from all sorts of backgrounds, whether they're privileged or underprivileged. you need to get my mum always said if you get tough with with children, tough love and discipline them in the early your job of early years, your job of parenting is 90% and we've parenting is 90% done and we've got send that message back to got to send that message back to parents and get them to take responsibility for their child rather than handing it off off to teachers in the state. >> yes, indeed. well, i couldn't agree more. belinda, thank you very, very much . always great to very, very much. always great to have on the show. and have your views on the show. and thatis have your views on the show. and that is political commentator beunda that is political commentator belinda a very belinda de lucy is a very forthright mood there. love belinda de lucy is a very forseeght mood there. love belinda de lucy is a very forsee it, mood there. love belinda de lucy is a very forsee it, right? there. love belinda de lucy is a very forsee it, right? okay. love belinda de lucy is a very forsee it, right? okay. you love belinda de lucy is a very forsee it, right? okay. you aree to see it, right? okay. you are watching to gb to see it, right? okay. you are watchi coming to gb to see it, right? okay. you are watchi coming up, to gb to see it, right? okay. you are watchi coming up, the to gb to see it, right? okay. you are watchi coming up, the message is news. coming up, the message is simple. free willy. yes we will discuss that next. we're going to be chatting to someone from

its beautiful views, but it's also renowned for its weather. um, so there may be some elements there, obviously with the weather causing some problems, we may have to wait some yeah there's so much some time. yeah there's so much logistics obviously we logistics involved. obviously we don't to make a bad don't want to make a bad situation worse. the last thing we want to do is go pulling up on hovercraft and alarming the on a hovercraft and alarming the sheep. the first thing we sheep. so the first thing we need to is get somebody out need to do is get somebody out there qualified than we there is more qualified than we are. assess situation are. um to assess the situation and from there . and really go from there. >> i mean, that's >> yeah. because, i mean, that's my next question. you managed to get hovercraft to cromarty. get the hovercraft to cromarty. you managed to somewhere you managed to get somewhere near shoreline , you managed near the shoreline, you managed to hold of woolly and then to get hold of woolly and then you got a sheep on your hovercraft. may what do you do about that? >> well, to begin with i think obviously i'm i'm not a vet. >> there are people much more qualified than me to say. but i think it would need to be sedated. um, so obviously we would then bring it back in a in a stretcher, um, a secure stretcher on the hovercraft. um, but again, i'm not qualified to comment on that, but i can't

imagine it's, it's just going to want to get in and sit down. i know that much . know that much. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no , you can't sit there . >> no, you can't sit there. okay. oh dear. oh dear. sorry. i just got the idea that he was going to have to tranquillise the sheep and then get it on hovercraft and take care. why do you feel so passionately about it? i mean, let's say it is britain's loneliest sheep, but is it is it more trouble than it's worth, mate? really nothing should be left alone for two years down there in that environment. >> really. so, you know, you've got to have a heart that's, you know, honestly , seriously, know, honestly, seriously, i commend that. >> i commend it. i, i commend it. i commend it entirely . it. i commend it entirely. honestly. you know, i think you've got a great heart and you're doing it. i'm just worried that it's a lot of effort to go to and the thinking is that that it can't be put back with a flock that might be at the top of the cliff. is that right talking of it going to a

sanctuary or something? maybe i i've heard it said yeah. >> from from people that it wouldn't be able to go back into a flock. but again, i'm i'm not a flock. but again, i'm i'm not a sheep farmer. i'm not a vet. i i don't know. i just i know that it shouldn't be at the bottom of that cliff. really. that's that's the only thing i know. really. >> gosh. okay so have you had to get a bit of money together for this then? if people i know the daily star backed you are daily star of backed you are people you know donating how is it going to happen financially really. yeah >> a lovely lady named michelle chambers. she started a go fund me page, which has got donations from as far as california . um, from as far as california. um, it's gone absolutely crazy . and it's gone absolutely crazy. and then quite a few private people came in and said, look, you know, we'll, we'll fund this . know, we'll, we'll fund this. and as well as quite a few media people jumped in and said, you know, we'll fund it. um, so the funding is there and the logistics can be done, but i mean, ideally we need to go out there and assess the situation first. like . say the one thing

first. like. say the one thing we do want to do, we will not want to make a bad situation worse. that's the last thing we need. no of course. >> and, well, i was going to say, have you ever had to do anything like this before? but i'm assuming not only people this the first first this will be the first first sheep, the first sheep. so sheep, the first sheep. okay. so the british people, people the british and people, people presumably the british and people, people pres|willy,( the british and people, people pres|willy, i suppose. free willy, i suppose. >> michelle's go fund me >> yeah. michelle's go fund me pages nearly £1,000 now pages up to nearly £1,000 now think don't know what the think i don't know what the target was on there but it's britain's loneliest sheep on go fund me. so michelle's done a great job. so hats off to her and yeah, can go and donate. and yeah, you can go and donate. >> luck to you, mate. >> look, good luck to you, mate. honestly the bottom of my honestly from the bottom of my heart, good luck to you. i hope it works okay. i hope it all works out okay. i hope it all goes without hitch or all goes without a hitch or anything like that. and we'll have back we'll have have to chat back in. we'll have to back in and i look to chat back in and i look fonnard to hopefully one day seeing know, in a seeing willy, you know, in a field surrounded field somewhere surrounded by other you know, even other sheep or you know, even like thinking, if was

like i was thinking, if i was a daily star, what i would have doneisi daily star, what i would have done is i would have already lined like a nice farmer with lined up like a nice farmer with some kids or some some young kids or something have it as their something to have it as their their sheep, you know what i mean? one of the ones that mean? not one of the ones that they you know, eating they end up, you know, eating one the the ones that one of the one of the ones that they just look after with the kids and stuff. maybe i don't think the sheep's going to be short live. short of somewhere to live. >> it'll be okay. yeah. >> i think it'll be okay. yeah. >> i think it'll be okay. yeah. >> yeah, absolutely. could it live you know, definitely. live with, you know, definitely. right. all right. okay. fair enough. all right. very much. right. thank you very much. i like guy, ben bristow. take like this guy, ben bristow. take care. right. all of us. that's ben the director of the ben bristow, the director of the british that british hovercraft company that are in are going to cromarty in scotland to rescue woolly, the sheep. right. okay coming up. good. talking about the culture wars in itself . be performative wars in itself. be performative and virtue signalling . well, a and virtue signalling. well, a new poll shows that most people think politicians use cultural issues as a distraction. tactic issues as a distraction. tactic is there some truth to that or actually , is culture and the actually, is culture and the culture wars and what's going on with all of that something that under pins everything, the very fabric society? i'm patrick fabric of society? i'm patrick christys news are

people's. channel we welcome back. >> you're watching and listening to patrick christys on gb news. now, do you think the politicians use the culture war as a distraction tactic? well, almost two thirds of people do. that's according to a new poll. the research found that only 10% believe politicians believe that politicians genuinely care about cultural divisions and that the term woke is increasingly seen as an insult . yeah joining me now is

insult. yeah joining me now is comedian diane spencer. diane, thank you very , very much. i can thank you very, very much. i can see the school of thought that goes look, we've got massive infrastructure problems, the nhs, all of this stuff. and you know, those should be a politician's primary focus. but i can also see the idea that, politician's primary focus. but i caiknow, see the idea that, politician's primary focus. but i caiknow, the the idea that, politician's primary focus. but i caiknow, the culturea that, politician's primary focus. but i caiknow, the culture wars, , you know, the culture wars, whether it's like trans whether it's things like trans ideology schools or whatever, ideology in schools or whatever, actually is something that really fabric really underpins the very fabric of . your views. diane of society. your views. diane well, i suppose the culture wars are kind of the thing that we argue about in pubs a lot. >> so it is quite crucial. i mean for me, culture wars used to be sort of arguing whether you want to listen to take that or you're more of sort of a pearl jam kind of person. but i grew up in the 90s and wasn't that fun with heroin chic. so so i can understand how culture wars are important. but i do think that sometimes they're just overblown on twitter and we're just focusing on what a small minority are concerned with. and it is a distraction. don't you think? it's a distraction from the fact that,

well, now a bit of concrete can fall on our children? that's if you can afford to get them to school. if you can afford to fill your car up while our millionaire prime minister is trying fill his car up and he trying to fill his car up and he doesn't know it wasn't doesn't know how, it wasn't really his car. um i understand it, but i do think that they sometimes leap on this kind of bus. like with suella braverman saying the tofu eating wokerati number one tofu is all right, you've just got to fry it. and number two, you. why don't you focus on your job, mate, right? you're the home secretary. fix heathrow, fix the channel crossings, fix all of those things, sort out the barge , get things, sort out the barge, get the legionnaire's disease out of it , do all of those things it, do all of those things before you start attacking people, . people, eating tofu. >> so i can i can completely see that it >> so i can i can completely see thatitis >> so i can i can completely see that it is easier for politicians to come out and start banging on about, you know, some kind of cultural controversy than it is to actually stop the boats coming in the first place or to do whatever. yeah, i get all of

that. i mean, the politicians have proved to be abject failures at that. and they've made very easy, therefore, made it very easy, therefore, for people to say, you're for people to say, ah, you're only this to only talking about this to distract all of distract from all of your failures. but then of failures. 100. but then part of me think, well, culture is me just think, well, culture is important. lot me important. well a lot of me thinks the culture is important. the culture is the british culture is important, our way of important, and that our way of life is important. and if that feels as though it's being put under from people under attack, so say from people who really don't think who don't really don't think that have kind of that we should have any kind of gender anything, think that gender or anything, i think that is worth it's worth highlighting , but maybe it shouldn't be their their lead priority . i their their lead priority. i mean, you have got a point there. >> i remember you came up with a great idea that maybe every sunday morning we should do something incredibly british, which designed to sort of which is designed to sort of unite everybody . i love the idea unite everybody. i love the idea of i mean, it used to be church to be fair. >> and that's gone out the window now, isn't it? so, yeah. >> know. yeah. it's really cold in places . patrick don't in those places. patrick don't like just cold and they like it. just cold and they don't do a decent bacon roll. um, can understand and how

um, i can understand and how yeah, the, the issue of the genders it does make sense that they, they do need to address this other culture war issues. you know about sort of even just up oil is a culture war issue because there are some people who feel you should tackle the cost of living over the climate. um but they are those little things that do sort of prey on your mind as it affected you. >> can i ask diane, can i just ask, has it affected you at all? you're a comedian, so you know, you're on the circuit, you know, and have you ever felt like, oh, gosh, you know, the kind of i'll say you know, the wokerati say it, you know, the wokerati have come for you . have come for you. >> um, do you know what? there has been a change. some times in the way the audience responds because there are there's definitely been a shift, especially if you do a university gig . some university university gig. some university gigs have cancelled . acts i've gigs have cancelled. acts i've been on with before . they've been on with before. they've even got on stage because they

found a clip of them online and they said , oh my god, this they said, oh my god, this person just shatters our values. it's like, i thought you were for diversity , but clearly you for diversity, but clearly you can't deal with anybody who thinks differently to you. um, so yeah , it has affected me as so yeah, it has affected me as a comedian because sometimes you'll make a joke that, yeah, i know that people say, oh, you can't make jokes about anything anymore. you can. um, and it's , anymore. you can. um, and it's, it's weird, but sometimes you'll do a joke that isn't it an ist of any sort . do a joke that isn't it an ist of any sort. it's not misogynist. it's not racist because you don't want to make jokes like that because they're not funny. but it might have a trigger word in it that the audience suddenly go, oh, and they'll panic as if you have done one of those awful things, but you haven't, because some people are sort of on edge about it. >> yeah , no, it's concerning >> yeah, no, it's concerning times out there. i can very much actually uncharacteristically for me, see both sides of this,

which is that some of the cultural elements are low hanging or low hanging fruit for politicians who cannot get their own house in order. but then i do think as well, i look at the rapid rate of change and then people think, oh, well, this is what's acceptable today and then it's not tomorrow. then it is again day and the again the day after. and the rules changing and i think rules keep changing and i think it just trying it is worthwhile as just trying to a little bit of to preserve a little bit of stability. you don't want to change too quickly. but change too much too quickly. but dan, going to have to dan, we're going to have to leave it there. i'm afraid i will see you again soon, will see you again very soon, though. there's wonderful though. there's a wonderful comedian, spencer, regular comedian, diane spencer, regular here news. you'd love here on gb news. you'd to love see now see it, right? okay. so now a fight broken out between two fight has broken out between two female a long haul female passengers on a long haul flight. okay. the american traveller irate after her traveller became irate after her reclined seat was quoted , was reclined seat was quoted, was quoted, sorry, kicked repeatedly. let's have a quick look . the whole trip. look. the whole trip. >> she pushed my seat . you've >> she pushed my seat. you've seen it. you've seen it. >> no, did. put no , i'm >> no, she did. she put no, i'm allowed to put my seat back. >> i'm allowed to put my seat back. put my seat back. i'm allowed to put my seat back. i'm allowed to put my seat
