3:07 pm
calling for a ceasefire. one security editor, mark white, joins us now live from tel aviv . joins us now live from tel aviv. mark, really good to talk to you. so, mark, the rafah crossing is opened. we've got some british nationals over it and across it. what is the feeling where you are in israel . feeling where you are in israel. >> well, we had some british nationals that managed to cross yesterday into egypt , including yesterday into egypt, including the in—laws of the scottish first minister, humza yousaf today, again, 112 were on the uk list, including 88 british nationals . however, the reports nationals. however, the reports we're getting from the rafah crossing indicate some kind of problem times at the crossing that that crossing hasn't opened . and as of about an hour ago. so to let people across . so so to let people across. so i think it just goes to the real difficulty , liz and the lack of difficulty, liz and the lack of security in that general area
3:08 pm
with both the palestinian side, the egyptian side, and, of course, the israelis overseeing it as well. some real concerns about who's crossing and whether they can cross in safety the need for the egyptians to ensure that it need for the egyptians to ensure thatitis need for the egyptians to ensure that it is a very controlled release of people, only people on a list that can go there and of course, what happens is this list goes out with 100 or so names , but a lot of them, it names, but a lot of them, it seems, can't get to the border. maybe because of the situation there in the area they're in. might not be safe to leave to make it to the crossing or they might not even be receiving the information in the first place because there are very patchy communications in gaza at the moment. understandably with what is going on and what is going on is going on and what is going on is a continue food very significant operation from the israeli defence forces is moving and encircling gaza city itself.
3:09 pm
there was a pause for a few hours which just ended about an hours which just ended about an hour or so ago , which was to hour or so ago, which was to allow people from northern gaza to head south to get south of the was gaada gaza river area into southern gaza . it's not i'm into southern gaza. it's not i'm not sure how many people will have been able to do that in just three hours because that was all the window was open for . was all the window was open for. now, it may well be, i'm sure, that a lot of people in northern gaza, given what has happened there, don't have access to that many vehicles. and it might be really difficult for them to get out . some may really difficult for them to get out. some may have done it. hopefully but there are still some 350 to 400,000 people in the north, despite weeks of the israelis telling them to move south and to the relatively safer area of southern gaza . safer area of southern gaza. >> but we're hearing that there's well, an official said that there's no safe place in
3:10 pm
gaza at all, though there's not. >> and in fact , the israeli >> and in fact, the israeli defence forces alerted us this morning to an operation in southern gaza where they bombed and a group of hamas terrorists, they said, who were coming out of a tunnel system in southern gaza. of a tunnel system in southern gaza . all they're saying is it's gaza. all they're saying is it's relatively safe. you know, it's safer than the north. so the sensible thing to do, even though it's not that safe , is though it's not that safe, is just to get out of the worst affected area. and it's going to get even worse in the north because the big battle is still to happen , even though we've had to happen, even though we've had very fierce fighting in that at last count had resulted . in 263 last count had resulted. in 263 israeli soldiers wounded . and 23 israeli soldiers wounded. and 23 dead. and that was figures from a couple of days ago. so it may well have grown since then. and countless numbers of hamas terrorists and civilians as well in the fighting as these troops
3:11 pm
move south. now they have encircled gaza city . that is the encircled gaza city. that is the hamas stronghold , and they are hamas stronghold, and they are well dug into that city, into buildings , into tunnels, buildings, into tunnels, systems, all around the city, well prepared for the israeli advance and looking to booby trap the israeli forces. so that is going to be the bloodiest campaign of all. and it's just horrific to contemplate the fact that hundreds of thousands still remain in that city. mark white, thank you very much. >> we'll obviously catch up with you later on throughout the show. but i'm also now joined by mystifier geller, is mystifier uri geller, who is living in tel aviv, which is where he uri well, i mean, where he is. uri well, i mean, you know, the fighting is getting more and more intense. i know that rockets some have landed inside israel . are you landed inside israel. are you still safe? relatively safe where you are ? where you are? >> well, as i said before, first of all, nana, thanks for having me on your show.
3:12 pm
>> again, just about half an hour ago, there was a barrage of missiles flying into israel, hitting many cities again. >> luckily, we have the iron dome, which which shoots most of the missiles out of the sky. but ijust the missiles out of the sky. but i just saw on your news that demonstrations in london look , demonstrations in london look, nana, i'm actually shocked by the demonstrations happened thing in the streets of london. i mean, these are not pro—palestinian rallies . they pro—palestinian rallies. they are hate marches by people seeking the destruction of israel. look next week on britain's remembrance day, the these same jihadists are planning a massive demonstration in this will be a desecration, in this will be a desecration, in my opinion , of britain's most in my opinion, of britain's most solemn day and should not be allowed to go ahead. these people do not really care about the death of muslims . i mean, the death of muslims. i mean, here is a proof they did not
3:13 pm
march in protest at a million muslim civilians killed in syria. they did not march in protest at half a million muslim civilians killed in yemen. they did not march against tens of thousands of muslim civilians killed in afghanistan. but they marched against israel, which is fighting terrorists in a war of self—defence. >> you know , there's some >> you know, there's some people. well, listen, i hear you andits people. well, listen, i hear you and it's difficult to i personally don't think you can divide . it's difficult to divide divide. it's difficult to divide hamas from somebody who's pro—palestinian , because in the pro—palestinian, because in the end, the hamas are embedded within there. and they're almost difficult to extract from there. but some people might argue and i know one of my friends who went on a pro—palestine march was actually calling for peace . was actually calling for peace. and, you know, there were a lot of them were calling for peace. so agree that it should so i do agree that it should never be done remembrance and never be done on remembrance and armistice. think that should armistice. i think that should be alone. seem
3:14 pm
be left well alone. it does seem provocative , but there will be provocative, but there will be people within those marches calling for peace . as my friend calling for peace. as my friend who was on one of these marches, i was like, why are you doing that? she most of it that? and she said most of it was peaceful where she was. and most eyes were most people in her eyes were calling peace . calling for peace. >> well, listen, everyone wants peace. israel since the formation of israel , we want formation of israel, we want peace. but but tragically, we are surrounded by people who want to eradicate any erase israel from the map. i mean, it's been said a million times before and, you know, nana nobody to fight, nobody fights wars as humanely as the idf. it goes out of its way to try to limit civilian casualties. i mean, your country , britain, mean, your country, britain, britain, carpet bombed germany, german cities during world war two. and nobody objected. so this is what's happening. hamas
3:15 pm
they have to be eradicated and i just posted something horrific on my social media. i dare you to all look at my twitter or my facebook or my tiktok or my instagram . you are going to be instagram. you are going to be shocked at what i just posted. and that's hamas. >> yeah. listen there's no argument here and disagreement that hamas are a terrorist organisation . i have no problem organisation. i have no problem saying it. and with you, 100, i would like to see them eradicated , as i'm sure many eradicated, as i'm sure many people would. it's just it's scary it seems to be scary how it seems to be embedded within this movement. and it's very difficult to sort of extract it from those who are calling for peace . and i really calling for peace. and i really pray that you stay safe there and you keep communicating with us and telling us what's going on. yeah all right. >> thank you so much, everyone . bye. >> yeah, you too. that's uri geller. he's a mystifier. he's there. he's living in tel aviv. he's an absolutely incredible 91w- he's an absolutely incredible guy. he's been keeping us updated as what's going on
3:16 pm
updated as to what's going on there. joining the there. but joining me now in the studio to stay with me for an houn studio to stay with me for an hour, i'll get rid of him. former army officer former british army officer henry henry, what do you henry bolton. henry, what do you want ? want? >> know you invite me . >> i know you invite me. >> i know you invite me. >> i know they know that. >> i know they know that. >> know you know >> they know you know that i invited know why? no, invited him. know why? no, henry. look , we're seeing henry. so, look, we're seeing this. yeah obviously there is disagree as to people calling for a ceasefire. how realistic that is. for a ceasefire. how realistic thatis.i for a ceasefire. how realistic that is. i don't know. when you're listening to the leader of or one of the officials for hamas, apparently. and it does appear to be that person saying that he wants a repeat of what happened october the seventh. happened on october the seventh. what think ? are we what do you think? why are we insisting and saying this to israel and hamas? we know that's pretty much never going to happen. >> well , as we've just said, or >> well, as we've just said, or uhah >> well, as we've just said, or uriah has just said, there is no peace in gaza with hamas . peace in gaza with hamas. >> hamas have it written within their their their dna , if you their their their dna, if you like, to launch an intifada and violent resistance to israel. >> but it's not just resistance
3:17 pm
to sort of throw off any israeli influence in their lives. >> it is the destruction of israel as a state. >> and you cannot have peace with a terrorist organisation that has that that that approach. >> and so hamas has to go . >> and so hamas has to go. >> and so hamas has to go. >> and so hamas has to go. >> and when people say destroy hamas, eradicate hamas, what it actually means is remove their capacity to wage war of any sort, terrorist or othennise against israel. >> so but you mentioned ceasefire just now. >> i think it's possibly important to define what we mean by ceasefire as opposed to humanitarian pause, which is if we if we may ceasefire, a ceasefire is established with the aim or the purpose to give the aim or the purpose to give the opportunity for or the intention for peace talks sustainable peace, if you like, to , to take grip. to, to take grip. >> so there might be discussions that need to take place without some sort of terrible incident taking place whilst those talks .
3:18 pm
taking place whilst those talks. >> so they basically stop firing their weapons whilst they're talking with the intention of not picking them up again , not picking them up again, ideally aftennards . ideally aftennards. >> so a ceasefire, that's a ceasefire now, a humanity or operational pause is within a defined geographical area for a defined geographical area for a defined and specific time period for a specific in this case, humanitarian purpose. so another example might be for an exchange of prisoners or to retrieve wounded, but it all ultimately amounts to the same thing. >> they should stop firing for a penod >> they should stop firing for a period of time, correct . period of time, correct. >> but when we call for a ceasefire it is in effect because of the operational circumstance on the ground. a call for israel to stop . it then call for israel to stop. it then gives hamas the opportunity to regroup and reorganise, and that in itself will then perpetuate the battle that, as you quite rightly said, is to come. but it will make it worse and the civilian casualties will become worse . worse. >> whether you call it a
3:19 pm
ceasefire or a humanitarian pause, the bottom line is hamas will manipulate that, indeed use it to regroup and continue. so indeed, either way, you're asking israel to disarm and you're asking hamas to rearm . you're asking hamas to rearm. and that's what it means. and if people want to, it is. >> and if people want an illustration from the region of how important this is or how that in the region, the that scene in the region, the reason egypt is so reluctant to let refugee armies from gaza cross the rafah crossing point into egypt is because they believe , as neighbours of gaza, believe, as neighbours of gaza, that hamas will infiltrate those refugees and will then launch its own its its war against israel from egyptian territory, thereby effectively destroying thereby effectively destroying the peace agreement or the peace that has existed between egypt and israel. >> so either we need to listen to that . to that. >> and i think yuri is absolutely right about what he says on the protests here. that's a serious a serious problem. >> yeah. well, listen , henry >> yeah. well, listen, henry will be with me for the whole
3:20 pm
hour, will be with me for the whole hour , but if you just join me. hour, but if you just join me. welcome on board. it's just coming up to 21 minutes after 3:00. this is gb news on tv, onune 3:00. this is gb news on tv, online and on digital radio. coming up another weekend, another pro—palestine protest is grinding our cities to a halt. katherine forster will be live at trafalgar square to give us an update. but up next, with storm ciaran battering britain this week, meteorologist jim dale and climate scientist paul burgess will be debating what's really behind the wild weather. this is .
3:21 pm
3:22 pm
3:23 pm
3:24 pm
and people that i knew had dewbs & co weeknights from . six & co weeknights from. six >> good afternoon. this is coming up to 25 minutes after 3:00. if you've just tuned in, where have you been? it's okay. you've only missed about 24 minutes. i'm nana akua. we are live on tv , online and on live on tv, online and on digital radio. so now we were discussing lots of things. don't forget, you can get in touch in the usual way. vaiews@gbnews.com. or tweet me at gb news. now it's time though, for climate control where we unpick the latest stories relating to the debate around climate change. now today storm ciaran . a sign of climate storm ciaran. a sign of climate change is it or is itjust bad change is it or is it just bad weather? scientists are warning global warming is hot on our heels and we're closer to missing the one and a half degrees target that previously than we previously thought. and according to the us scientist who first alerted the world to the greenhouse effect in the 19805, the greenhouse effect in the 1980s, james hansen the key
3:25 pm
temperature threshold will be breached as soon as this decade. he says that the global heating in the pipeline is mostly down or mostly down of the continued burning of fossil fuels. so mostly due to the continued burning of fossil fuels. so we storm ciaran kieran, a sign of climate change or just more bad weather? well, i'm now by weather? well, i'm joined now by jim dale, senior meteorologist at weather services, at the british weather services, also paul burgess a climate also paul burgess is a climate scientist first time on and i'm very pleased to get him on there . right. let's start with jim. jim a kieran , kieran, not kieran. >> all right . apparently. >> all right. apparently. >> all right. apparently. >> all right. well, if that's the best you can do, right? carry on. go on, get on with it. i've asked the question. it was within question that i within the question that i asked, sign of climate asked, is it a sign of climate change weather? change or just weather? >> what? >> do you know what? >> do you know what? >> moment, i can't say. >> at this moment, i can't say. >> at this moment, i can't say. >> and i don't think paul can either terms weather. either in terms of weather. >> well, paul can speak >> kieran well, paul can speak for himself. >> yeah, sure saying >> yeah, i'm sure i'm saying it's able to say it's too early to be able to say that particular storm. >> it's one off event, much as >> it's a one off event, much as babette was one off event, but babette was a one off event, but you tell there was an
3:26 pm
you could tell there was an element, there was an element, i think there was an element, i think there was an element that element within babette that meant was in meant climate change was in there to a certain degree. >> as i say, these >> well, it's as i say, these things get sort of chewed over in time. things get sort of chewed over in tthey're not something you >> they're not something you make instantaneous make an instantaneous decision because term event. because it's a short term event. >> it's not short term . events >> it's not short term. events are weather. let's make that absolutely clear to you of how you compared storm a you compared storm babet to a bath that was overflowing. >> it gets to a point and then it tips over and that's the tipping point. and when i asked you percentage, couldn't you the percentage, you couldn't give . no, but you give me an answer. no, but you admitted it was . admitted you said that it was. now you're saying that it's going to time to work out going to take time to work out whether it isn't, babette. >> believe the case for >> i believe that's the case for this one. >> kieran. it was more about wind than it was about rainfall necessarily. >> so look, these things, they're all very different . they're all very different. >> storms come in, come in different colours , different different colours, different shapes. a short term shapes. and it's a short term event. there are many short term events we see then to events that we see then to determine difference between determine the difference between kieran and babette, what i'm using is, is long term climate records that basically show the
3:27 pm
direction of travel in terms of the various components such as temperature , such as co2 levels, temperature, such as co2 levels, such there's many of them, such as ice melting, such as sea level rise. i could go on what specifically in babette was the thing that you made you made made you think it was. it was very similar to hurricane otis that that it basically got a very intense, very quickly as it as it moved up through the bay of biscay into the west of france, picking up a lot of energy down in the canary islands with the sea temperatures down there that were record levels. i need to were at record levels. i need to stress these things because this is how it works when you get record levels, you get more energy. it's like pan of energy. it's like the pan of milk stove that, you milk on the stove that, you know, the up know, you turn the heat up slightly starts bubble slightly, it starts to bubble and bubbles bit more. then and it bubbles a bit more. then it overflows. there you go. that's how it works. >> to laugh out loud. >> i want to laugh out loud. i have what is he talking about? >> well, i actually watched that i >>i >> i watched your program with jim and made a video it. actually >> and argument there was >> and my argument there was there's no actual scientific
3:28 pm
evidence whatsoever that individual storms like this are anything to do with climate. so i'll give you an example. if you want to look at say , the arctic want to look at say, the arctic people started in 1979, all the records you'll see. so if you've got a cycle and it starts in 1979, which is the highest arctic ice cover for a couple of hundred years. and we decline it fine. but when what i do on my video is, is i then give you the records . before 1979, it was records. before 1979, it was much lower. of course, in the 19505. much lower. of course, in the 1950s. so if you're going to look weather confuse it look at weather and confuse it with you've got to look with climate, you've got to look at cycles. and if you at the cycles. yes. and if you start to look at the cycles , you start to look at the cycles, you actually some very actually get some very interesting things . and fact , interesting things. and in fact, recent work shows, if you allow for the la nina and el ninos and you allow for the grouping of them, which warms the earth, no doubt about that. the alarmists say , well, it doesn't matter say, well, it doesn't matter because the warm counteracts the cold. but that's not true because it happens over decades. so you get a group of warms and a group of colds if you actually
3:29 pm
allow for that. and i've got the graphs here, obviously graphs here, which are obviously radio can't see if you radio people can't see if you allow for that then and allow since 1959, there is no climate temperature increase at all. in other words, you're going to count from 1959 to today, right? purely by natural events . and purely by natural events. and there's that work. but what happens is this what happens is this . i'm happens is this what happens is this. i'm called a happens is this what happens is this . i'm called a denier. happens is this what happens is this. i'm called a denier. i'm not i'm a climate realist. and when you look at the data, it doesn't get supported. for example, you know, people quote record temperatures recently in the uk, the temperature taken to heathrow was on the runway . on heathrow was on the runway. on the runway, it's that sort of distortion and so i can't believe how jim just backed down from his previous comments about, well, there's no backing down there . down there. >> there's absolutely no backing backing down whatsoever . do you backing down whatsoever. do you just to mention one name, sir david attenborough , do you do david attenborough, do you do you do you think he's a viable person in terms of climate change and what he what he professes? i just put that out there to probably similar
3:30 pm

3:45 pm
>> um, um, well, i suppose i led rather a sad life, really, as a teenager, i was actually quite interested in politics, and i that very controversial time in, in the uk, in the mid 60s. >> and i just first got interested in politics and fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, it wasn't that difficult to get more involved and i got into parliament when i was really quite young, about 30 and on and on it went on well. >> so and your initial party, immediate party of choice was the conservative party. you haven't come from any other parties and you served , lacked parties and you served, lacked the imagination, lacked the imagination to think of another party, to be involved with, which doesn't mean by the way, that i am in love with the conservative party, especially not at the moment. >> mm mm. >> mm mm. >> because it's a bit of a disturbing thing the they've disturbing thing the way they've behaved. what's your the behaved. what's your take on the festival ? getting rid of boris, festival? getting rid of boris, then installing liz truss and then installing liz truss and then of course the rishi sunak .
3:46 pm
then of course the rishi sunak. what's take all of that ? what's your take on all of that? >> well, it's, it's a few leaders too many isn't it though ? >> this is not, i think the weekend to say too much in favour of boris. when you think of i mean he's had a terrible week hasn't he. with all that uh , senior people including civil servants who are supposedly in independent and not committed to any particular political view . any particular political view. but i mean, some of the things that have been said about boris has been i mean, i'm amazed in a way he can he can come on to various shows and not appear to be completely be ovennhelmed by this failure on his failure to impress a lot of the people that he worked very closely with. you know, it reminds me what a left wing labour friend of mine now dead, sadly said about a particular individual in the labour party who i actually
3:47 pm
quite admired. and he didn't. and he said, i was. i said, i've always thought he was quite good and i'd oh yes. he said he's well liked by everybody who doesn't know him . and in a way doesn't know him. and in a way you feel that's where boris is at the moment. >> yeah, i the inquiry i'm actually a little bit annoyed listening to the inquiry that they're focusing on, he said she said. and i'd actually like them to focus more on how they handled pandemic their handled the pandemic and their preference nation and their communication with the british public, rather than a lot of this internal stuff that seems just some of it seems a little bit trivial, although, you know, it wasn't wasn't a great time, but what about nadine dorries? she's just we're obsessed with we're obsessed with trivia, aren't we? >> we're obsessed with trivia because and of course, the with so much news around the fact that some of that news is trivial, but look, can i get at
3:48 pm
one point that seemed to me quite important. i was i was listening to a typical left wing labour actress going on about it. and it was i felt sorry for her because her mother had died dunng her because her mother had died during this pandemic and then she suddenly starts saying , you she suddenly starts saying, you know, all the things that happen that also happened over aids . that also happened over aids. and i was one of the ministers responsible for aids policy and the interesting thing about aids policy is it didn't suffer from the kind of shambles that that this government is faced with, that people settled down initially under the leadership of norman fowler and established a basis for government action designed and to try to advise people in an tendentious way about about how they could what behaviour put them at risk of getting aids and i don't remember us at that time being
3:49 pm
criticised in the same way as this present government is being criticised for the way that it that it that it handled the pandemic. so i think we have to presume , don't we, that some of presume, don't we, that some of the ways that the pandemic was handled , including giving the handled, including giving the right to advisers to become like television stars i think went to the head of 1 or 2 of them. but i remember very well that everything we tried to do on aids , though it was aids, though it was controversial. i mean , we controversial. i mean, we weren't going to preach at people. we were going to accept that behaviour where people make their own choices. it was trying to point out the consequences of those choices and i still look back with some pride at what we did. and in fact, ironically , we did. and in fact, ironically, we just as the government, this government is being hauled over the coals for what they did in the coals for what they did in the last pandemic. there has been a major inquiry going on
3:50 pm
into to what? into what happened when appallingly. and it's one of the most terrible things as people who suffered from blood conditions that meant their blood didn't clot were served with um stuff that came from america was mainly bought from america was mainly bought from america off taken from people who sold their blood because they were, you know, without funds othennise. and suddenly be thousands and thousands of people were infected with aids because the blood age that they were being used to try was being used on them to try and make their blood clot was actually giving them aids and i gave evidence to that inquiry. they're about to give their report . i they're about to give their report. i found it very moving. in fact, there were times when i was really quite emotional about
3:51 pm
it. i mean, you know, it's bad enough not to be able to have your blood clotting normally. it's quite another thing to actually add to that. the traumas of a deadly disease, because as the blood products you were given wasn't wasn't fit for purpose. and i just felt that i mean, after i'd given my evidence , i was sitting down evidence, i was sitting down with some of the people who came who were either infected themselves with the aids virus or had relatives who died. and i found it all extremely touching. but one of the things that there wasn't was any abuse of any of us who were it appeared people recognised were doing our best with the knowledge that we had to try and be be efficient and effective ministers. and i'm sorry , but david, although i do sorry, but david, although i do remember for this government. >> well, although i was going to
3:52 pm
say about the aids and hiv campaign , that was pretty they campaign, that was pretty they did have some very scary advertising there as well . so advertising there as well. so they did put the frighteners up on everybody. i remember the tombstone ads and all that, and that must have been sanctioned by government at the time, by the government at the time, was responsible for a number of those. >> and i thought it was the right thing to do. and we had a hugely distinguished film director who was very committed, and actually filmed a lot of and he actually filmed a lot of these ads himself . so you know, these ads himself. so you know, because what we wanted to do was simply to catch people's attention and change their behaviour and that was but some people might argue what what we what we were doing and that was david, by the way. >> i'm just going to say that, david, some people might argue that i was going to say, that it i was going to say, david, that people might david, that some people might argue that it's stigmatised hiv. and know, that that was and then you know, that that was part of whole behaviour. it part of the whole behaviour. it created behaviour of created a behaviour of stigmatism towards the condition i >> no, but in fact on the
3:53 pm
contrary , if you saw some of the contrary, if you saw some of the things that 1 or 2 people felt about it, including indeed our then dear prime minister margaret thatcher, um, there was, there was a sense that that people were being that aids was, was god's judgement on people who had different lifestyles. we never did any of that. but what we tried to do was to appear to be efficient and effective and know what we were talking about . know what we were talking about. and i was saying getting ridley scott but david, we are running. >> david, we are running out of time. i've literally got 20s left, but i could talk to you for so you will come back. for ages, so you will come back. i'm telling you now, i'd love to get you back and we'll talk for longer. as long as you give me a good introduction. longer. as long as you give me a good iniyou|ction. longer. as long as you give me a good iniyou just1. longer. as long as you give me a good iniyou just did. and any time. >> of course. that, of course, is a brilliant david mellor. he was spotlight. was my political spotlight. stay tuned, and tuned, though. lizzie cundy and also will be with also simon danczuk will be with me next. >> there. i'm jonathan >> hello there. i'm jonathan vawter here with your gb news

4:05 pm
but on the same day , in the same but on the same day, in the same outfit, the poppy is nowhere in sight. and he talks on a pre—recorded video about islamophobia . so he was wearing islamophobia. so he was wearing a poppy islamophobia. so he was wearing a poppy in the morning, but then it disappeared that day when the party released an anti—islam homophobia video. he might argue that this was unintentional , but that this was unintentional, but i'm not buying it. you see, the problem keir starmer has is that he is, in my view, a made a plaster over the anti—semitism that still exists in his labour party. this conflict between israel and hamas has exposed a gaping wound, one that simply hasn't healed . and it all hasn't healed. and it all started when sir keir starmer went on lbc and made these comments. i'm very clear israel must have that does have that right to defend herself and hamas bears responsibility , i.e. hamas bears responsibility, le. a siege is appropriate , cutting a siege is appropriate, cutting off power, cutting off water
4:06 pm
secure. >> i think that israel does have that right . >> i think that israel does have that right. it is an ongoing situation . situation. >> and well, his words caused a level of outrage in his party, which seems to have a major pro—palestine element. and around 30 councillors objected to his stance and resigned. they along with labour london mayor sadiq khan , labour greater sadiq khan, labour greater manchester mayor andy burnham and labour's leader in scotland, anas sannar, have called for a ceasefire and were putting pressure on sir keir directly, contradicting his initial stance. he later called for a humanity pause, sort of struggling to work out the difference, but either is unlikely as hamas official has stated, that they wish to repeat the october 7th massacre and now our dear friend gary lineker has piped up, making a mockery of the bbc's social media policy. he sparked a fresh political row after he backed pro—palestinian protests, planning a march through london on armistice day . through london on armistice day. so he's quite happy to condemn
4:07 pm
suella braverman's language, calling it germany in the 30s. but silence when the actual massacre of jews took place on reigniting the conflict. and in a chatham house speech this week , sir keir rejected that there were divisions over the party's position in gaza. but poppy gate is a big clue . is a big clue. >> and while i understand led calls for a ceasefire at this stage, i do not believe that it is the correct position. now for two reasons. >> one, because a ceasefire always freezes any conflict in the state where it currently lies . and as we speak, that lies. and as we speak, that would leave hamas with the infrastructure and the capability to carry out the sort of attack we saw on october the 7th. our current calls for pauses in the fighting for clear and specific humanitarian purposes and which must start
4:08 pm
immediately, is right in practise as well as principle . practise as well as principle. >> but of course, if you do have a ceasefire or a pause in the fighting, you disarm israel and rearm hamas. so what's going on with his party? i mean, if you were teetering on the edge and thinking of switching your vote to labour, this is a taste of things to come. whilst it's true the party are in power and the tory party are in power and have done dismal job in have done a dismal job in office, there's no guarantee. hard it to believe hard though it is to believe that the labour will do that the labour party will do much better . you see this, sir much better. you see this, sir keir? it's a poppy . my parents keir? it's a poppy. my parents are from ghana. i was born in newcastle upon tyne and i am a black woman. i'm not afraid to be called black because i am and i'm a woman. glad you finally know what one is, and i'm certainly not afraid to wear my poppy certainly not afraid to wear my poppy proudly. and i certainly not afraid to wear my poppy proudly. and i don't certainly not afraid to wear my poppy proudly. and i don't care who i offend . so before we get who i offend. so before we get stuck into the debate, here's
4:09 pm
what else is coming up today for the great british debate this houn the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, should the pro—palestine be allowed pro—palestine march be allowed on day as on armistice day as pro—palestinian supporters take to the streets for the third consecutive , the prime consecutive weekend, the prime minister has finally intervened to protect the sanctity of our next armistice day. and remembrance sunday. then at 450, it's royal roundup time. angela levin will be here with me to give you the latest from behind the palace walls on menu, the palace walls on the menu, a busy but successful tour for a victory. some are saying he did very well there with his visit into kenya. king charles and queen camilla. that was this week. but is it now time to put any talk of reparations behind him? completely for all other all these talks that they're doing then five, it's doing? and then at five, it's this week's difficult conversation. asian tanya russell be live in the russell will be live in the studio. tanya has turned a personal tragedy into a good cause where she raises awareness of epilepsy and how to identify those symptoms. that's coming up in the next hour. tell me what you think on everything we're
4:10 pm
discussing. you can email gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at . gb gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at. gb news. gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at . gb news. all right, let's at. gb news. all right, let's get started. let's welcome again to my panel broadcaster and columnist lizzie cundy as the former labour mp . simon dunkirk. former labour mp. simon dunkirk. simon i've got to come to you immediately because we are talking about the labour party and i think a lot of people are looking at it and saying, well, it like it's a bit divide it looks like it's a bit divide sided divided a somewhat sided and divided in a somewhat unsavoury sided and divided in a somewhat unstheiry sided and divided in a somewhat unsthe labour party is >> the labour party is completely divided over the israel palestine situation and i'm no doubt that keir i'm in no doubt that keir starmer took his poppy off for the islamophobia video that he did quite deliberately because he's trying to shout out to the muslim vote. that's who we believe will be watching the video primarily, although he did argue that , you know, that it argue that, you know, that it was just didn't notice and it was just didn't notice and it was just didn't notice and it was just something that this guy , in the labour party , as i was in the labour party 30 years, he has eds all around him. they would know whether he
4:11 pm
had a poppy on trust me. him. they would know whether he had a poppy on trust me . and had a poppy on trust me. and they that he didn't have a they knew that he didn't have a poppy he they knew that he didn't have a poppy he was doing that poppy on when he was doing that video they're video and it's because they're trying up the muslim trying to shore up the muslim vote because they're worried about losing over the about losing it over the palestine situation . palestine situation. >> but what about the jewish vote, though? because obviously, if it does feel like the party of pro—palestine, people will be having sort of a flashback of the jeremy era, this is the jeremy corbyn era, this is a real problem for starmer . real problem for keir starmer. >> you can't underestimate it. he's trying to walk a tightrope. he's trying to walk a tightrope. he's to look tough on he's trying to look tough on hamas terrorists and at the same time he's trying to kowtow to the muslim vote. he's worried of it recurring exactly what happenedin it recurring exactly what happened in the early 2000 when in britain went into the iraq war and at the 2005 general election, labour lost lots of muslim voters to the liberal democrats. and he's worried about that happening again. that's the reality . that's the reality. >> he should be more concerned about the vote for a lot of the people, majority of people people, the majority of people in because there in this country, because there are far bigger vote. >> completely agree with you.
4:12 pm
>> i totally agree. >> i totally agree. >> so basically, saying >> so basically, simon is saying he's because he's lied he's a liar because he's lied about the poppy. >> he knew that. i mean. >> he knew that. i mean. >> he can't guarantee it, >> well, he can't guarantee it, though. for sure though. he can't say for sure because keir because we don't know keir starmer the whole thing, starmer look, the whole thing, we don't know what believes , we don't know what he believes, his who is. his policies, who he is. >> fortunately , he's shown >> i'm fortunately, he's shown himself for what really is. himself for what he really is. and he he runs with the foxes and hunts with the hounds . and hunts with the hounds. >> he sits on the fence. if he sits on there any more, he'll get splinters. he really is . get splinters. and he really is. >> i completely agree. >> i completely agree. >> i'm sorry say , but he's >> i'm sorry to say, but he's shown himself. and that is why he danger and why cannot he is a danger and why he cannot be the next prime minister. >> some people might argue, >> for some people might argue, is that he is simply representing of his representing another part of his party, which is quite a large faction. mean, have faction. i mean, they have potentially full a large potentially the full a large muslim vote, which about muslim vote, which is about 3 million people. so he has to acknowledge that. but we can't have a prime minister that you turn to every corner. >> and this is why keir is not tony blair, because tony blair would have took the higher ground. he would have said, listen, have support listen, we have to support israel in this situation. it's
4:13 pm
absolutely appalling. these are terrorists. but he is not doing that. he is no tony blair. and that's the problem . and he's that's the problem. and he's being found out. that's tony blair. >> he can only talk when tony blair is in his ear or, you know, peter mandelson is writing the script and getting a clear answer from starmer. is so answer from keir starmer. is so hard. it's like trying to prise off rishi's tight little jacket with a broken shoehorn . you with a broken shoehorn. you can't. he can't give us a straight answer . straight answer. >> yes. >> yes. >> he doesn't give a straight answer. i mean, just for instance, what is he about? >> we don't know because when it comes to such a big issue, i mean, this is a jargon thick political issue internationally. and being out. well, and he's being found out. well, he's being found wanting, i think, he's being found wanting, i thirokay. but again, and i'm not >> okay. but again, and i'm not in defence of him because i actually agree with you, but i have to look on this and see that there is a nuance to this argument that he has a portion of his to party appease. he lost a roundabout, know the a roundabout, i don't know the exact number, but it was at least 30 from the last count. councillors who didn't want unhappy. you've also got labour
4:14 pm
london mayor sadiq khan, labour, you've got the manchester mayor, andy sannar are andy burnham, anas sannar are all there in scotland. so this is a huge faction and he has to appean >> and don't forget, look, there's labour there's more than 30 labour councillors have resigned . 330 councillors have resigned. 330 i've actually written an open letter to, you know, really disgusted with him. the labour party is in trouble. and you know what? no one votes for a divided party. they don't want that in government. >> i put that question to you again though. do you think that >> i put that question to you agaicouldlgh. do you think that >> i put that question to you agaicould cost)o you think that >> i put that question to you agaicould cost him )u think that >> i put that question to you agaicould cost him the1ink that this could cost him the election? this could cost him the elewwell’ the labour party, >> well well, the labour party, labour mps never rid of labour mps never get rid of their leaders . we saw that i their leaders. we saw that i call for ed miliband to go when i was a labour mp, to go in advance of the 2015 general election because he didn't election because he just didn't cut it. but they don't get rid of them, so they will go into the general with keir, of them, so they will go into the thiszral with keir, of them, so they will go into the thiszral really with keir, of them, so they will go into the thiszral really damageeir, of them, so they will go into the thiszral really damage him. but this will really damage him. you're absolutely right. you've got labour mps who are got left wing labour mps who are going to call for a vote in parliament it on whether parliament about it on whether there be ceasefire. so there should be a ceasefire. so how more moderate how will his more moderate a labour mps who want a ceasefire vote in that he's got to start
4:15 pm
taking control of his party. but the problem is he doesn't have a grip on it. like blair had a grip on it. like blair had a grip on it. like blair had a grip on it. >> but who does he let's be honest, members of his party calling for ceasefire when calling for a ceasefire when you've official from you've heard an official from hamas in one of their tv interviews saying that they will repeat the 7th of october. and so us looking at outside observers saying they should have a ceasefire, would mean that you are asking israel to disarm so that the hamas can rearm. >> absolutely. oh, stupid . do >> absolutely. oh, stupid. do those calling for a ceasefire look after that hamas leader video? i mean, it's just. exactly. >> and there was a ceasefire before the hamas invaded . and before the hamas invaded. and did that horrific massacre . and did that horrific massacre. and i'm so sorry. i think it's over for keir starmer. i think i'm feeling like he's the next neil kinnock . i think larry the cat kinnock. i think larry the cat has more of a statesman than then. keir starmer honestly , i then. keir starmer honestly, i think he's in trouble because who is keir starmer? is he a christian? we don't know. is he a jew? we don't know. is he a
4:16 pm
muslim? he would change whatever he is to whoever comes in the room. and that is not a leader thatis room. and that is not a leader that is not a prime minister. >> that is a >> i'm sorry. yeah, that is a worry. what does worry. because what does he stand for? does labour stand for? what does the labour party for? stand and actually divided parties, you said, divided parties, as you said, do not elections. do not win elections. but what do you this, course, is you think? this, of course, is your in touch. gb your show. get in touch. gb views at views gbnews.com or tweet me at gb you're with me. i'm gb news. you're with me. i'm nana akua. this is gb news. we are people's channel. coming are the people's channel. coming up roundup time with up, it's royal roundup time with angela she'll here to angela levin. she'll be here to give latest from behind give you the latest from behind the palace walls, including the king queen's successful king and queen's successful state. week to kenya. state. visit this week to kenya. but it's for the but up next, it's time for the great british debate this hour. and i'm asking, should the pro—palestine allowed pro—palestine march be allowed on armistice day? i've got to pull up right now on x or twitter asking you that very question. the question. should the pro—palestine march be allowed on armistice day? send me your thoughts, email gbviews@gbnews.uk or tweet me at gb news. cast your vote now .

4:21 pm
such protests, as is seen by some as a necessary measure to protect the sanctity of the war. memorials like the cenotaph, while others view it as an infringement on the right to peaceful protest. what do you think? rishi sunak has condemned the planned march on remembrance day, saying that it's provocative and disrespectful. all organisers of the pro—palestine protest argue that they have no intention of disrupting remembrance sunday and will avoid the cenotaph entirely . how about they avoid entirely. how about they avoid the day then instead? so should protesters have the right to protesters have the right to protest or should they respect our history ? for the great our history? for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking should the pro—palestine march go ahead. on armistice day ? well, joining me now to discuss international security and border control expert henry bolton . told couldn't get bolton. told you i couldn't get rid him. former political rid of him. former political correspondent of sky and sky. sorry, peter spencer and also former editor of the labourlist, peter edwards . right. so i'm peter edwards. right. so i'm going to start with you, peter spencen going to start with you, peter spencer. what's your view ? spencer. what's your view? >> there are two sets of
4:22 pm
protesters here. there is one who are essentially calling for a ceasefire, meaning what they want is peace. there is another section which is calling for jihad, which is which is a warlike call . now, when it comes warlike call. now, when it comes to those calling for peace, i would say that choosing armistice day has a has a hideous but poignant relevancy to it. think about what the armistice day is about. it's about world war i. what did world war i achieve? it achieved very little, apart from the obliteration of an entire generation of young people . generation of young people. therefore, peace seems like the way fonnard. however, what it did also do was to sow the seeds in versailles in the settlement in versailles in the settlement in 1919 for world war ii. that is a point to be borne in mind by those who call it jihad. what is violence ? do it. violence. so sorry. >> so are you saying that the march so the seeds for world war
4:23 pm
ii? no no, no. >> i'm saying world war i sowed the seeds of world war ii after it. there was the versailles conference in which the terms were against the germans were so punitive it was only a matter of time before they had another crack at it. >> okay. well, henry bolton. >> okay. well, henry bolton. >> no, i don't believe it should. go ahead. you should. go ahead. look, you know, i absolutely sympathise . know, i absolutely sympathise. nobody can lecture me about the horrors of war i've seen seen those horrors up close and very, very personal far too many times. and they will never leave me. so i have a huge concern about the suffering that this conflict and any conflict is causing. and i absolutely sympathise with anybody who wants to express that concern. however i observed one of these marches last week because i wanted to actually make a judgement for myself and these this this is not only a march expressing that concern. the majority of people, the plaques, the placards they were carrying, the placards they were carrying, the chants they were making, what is calling for an what is about calling for an intifada? about it intifada? it was aboutjihad. it
4:24 pm
was calling for resistance to israel . this was about israel. this was about a nationalist uprising against the israeli state. and there is no ifs or buts about that in my mind. and i'm trying to be very, very objective about this. the march on armistice day, you know, it's just been said that , know, it's just been said that, you know, it's about peace . i you know, it's about peace. i just addressed that in terms of the protest. but actually , me, i the protest. but actually, me, i mean, i remember two of my elderly relatives fought in world war i for them , world war i for them, remembrance day was about remembering those people who had given the ultimate sacrifice, standing between those who would do harm and those who to whom it would be done. yeah, but . do harm and those who to whom it would be done. yeah, but. and the point is that this isn't it's not a day of peace . it's or it's not a day of peace. it's or arguing for peace. it is a day when we remember the sacrifices made by those people who stand up and fight for what is right. and in this case, use that as a solemn occasion. and the meaning of that is obviously i cannot i cannot possibly comprehend that
4:25 pm
the organisers of this march did not know that it was that day . not know that it was that day. this is a challenge. >> they're not saying it's not i don't think they didn't know it was that they knew. they was that day. they knew. they knew. think they're knew. i don't think they're trying say i think trying to say that. i just think that they're saying that they won't anywhere the won't go anywhere near the cenotaph but cenotaph and all that. but why do it that day? well, that's well, point, isn't well, that's the point, isn't it, peter edwards? >> it would be ill >> i think it would be ill advised to ahead. we've advised to go ahead. we've got armistice remembrance armistice day and remembrance sunday next weekend, and it should be time of coming should be a time of coming together. one can believe together. and one can believe that and that while feeling angry and distressed the terrorist distressed about the terrorist atrocity israel and feeling atrocity on israel and feeling angry at distress , suffering angry at distress, suffering going on in gaza right now, but no , we're talking about the no, we're talking about the process that we've had in london over the last few weeks. and i completely understand people speaking up for palestinians and gazans when there's so much suffering. clearly, there's an ugly i think henry ugly minority. i think henry used the word majority. i wouldn't use that. there's wouldn't use that. but there's an minority those an ugly minority within those protests are protests who are being disruptive on the streets of london. some other uk cities. we cannot that happening again
4:26 pm
cannot risk that happening again next weekend. so it's not illegal we're allowed to illegal and we're allowed to protest peacefully, but it would be advised to go ahead. be very ill advised to go ahead. >> but would say? so in >> but what would you say? so in other countries, say france or there are other countries that would and would ban this already. and actually palestinian actually in those palestinian countries, don't even think countries, i don't even think they'd be able to march themselves . themselves. >> well, i can't comment on the law in other countries, particularly around things like this. don't think the this. but i don't think the house of commons hurrying to pass a law in effect, of next weekend would be helpful. and that also might be create a little bit more confrontation. i think it's down to anyone who has concerns about what's going on in palestine, which is to be frank, the vast, vast majority of the whole population, the whole world, to exercise their judgement as to to how behave appropriately respectfully appropriately and respectfully next weekend. appropriately and respectfully nexyou ekend. appropriately and respectfully nexyou know. appropriately and respectfully nexyou know what's interesting? >> you know what's interesting? because one my friends because one of my friends actually pro—palestine because one of my friends actualiand pro—palestine because one of my friends actualiand was)ro—palestine because one of my friends actual| and was telling estine because one of my friends actualiand was telling me1e march and she was telling me that actually that people were actually calling for peace and actually calling for peace and actually calling between israel calling for peace between israel and palestine. so that but the problem that a lot of people are
4:27 pm
seeing is that there were others calling for jihad seeing is that there were others calling forjihad and even even calling for jihad and even even if you try and interpret it as something else , itjust if you try and interpret it as something else , it just doesn't something else, it just doesn't seem to work correctly. so peter spencen seem to work correctly. so peter spencer, you you are sort of saying that actually this should go ahead . go ahead. >> not exactly saying it should. i do say there is a relevance, particularly on armistice day, because it's about wrecking , because it's about wrecking, rising, the futility of war. and for those who are will be protesting to make that point, i say power to your elbow. for those who say let's have some more war, i say just do it somewhere else . somewhere else. >> yeah. so. so are you saying that the protest should go ahead then ? then? >> well, i mean, let's get real here. there's going to be vast numbers of people heading for the capital, but how can you actually prevent it anyway ? actually prevent it anyway? what? send out the water cannons so much for british values. if you behaving like that. you start behaving like that. >> well, i mean, he makes a good point, there's way point, henry. there's no way of even anyway. if
4:28 pm
even stopping it anyway. so if you go ahead, you said it shouldn't go ahead, these people will probably gather anyway. >> think at this >> i agree. i think at this stage probably late. >> i agree. i think at this stag i probably late. >> i agree. i think at this stagi suspectyably late. >> i agree. i think at this stag i suspect authority.ate. >> i agree. i think at this stagi suspect authority has and i suspect authority has already permission has already been permission has already been given. and a question would question i would ask the commissioner metropolitan commissioner of the metropolitan police is operationally how many cells, detention cells do you have? think , nick, correct me have? i think, nick, correct me if i'm wrong, mark's rowley, if i'm wrong, sir mark's rowley, but i think it's 137, which but i think it's137, which means that you obviously don't want to make too many arrests because you've got nowhere to put would it be put people. but would it be sadiq have had sadiq khan who would have had a say whether this goes ahead? say on whether this goes ahead? it been the it would have been the metropolitan police, westminster city of city council and the mayor of london, understand it. london, as i understand it. but if just say the freedom to if i can just say the freedom to express yourself does not equate to freedom to intimidate jews and put them in fear of their lives in the united kingdom , lives in the united kingdom, freedom of speech does not mean that freedom to call forjihad that freedom to call for jihad and violent intifada and freedom to protest does not is not a to right go out there and desecrate our monuments or to disturb . our monuments or to disturb. >> final word to peter edwards. peter edwards well, to pick up
4:29 pm

4:37 pm
. he described it as provocative and disrespectful, which i agree with. organisers of the protest argue that they have no intention of disrupting remembrance although why do remembrance day, although why do it on that day then and they said they'll avoid the cenotaph entirely , but they could have entirely, but they could have done that had they decided not to protest. so what do think to protest. so what do you think for great debate for the great british debate this asking, should this hour, i'm asking, should the march ahead the pro—palestine march go ahead on day? joining me on armistice day? so joining me to panel broadcast to discuss my panel broadcast from columnist lizzie cundy and also former labour mp simon danczuk . oh, you got your danczuk. oh, you got your singles back. okay, let's go to you, lizzie cundy. >> well, think it's >> yeah, well, i think it's totally disrespectful if any marches that marches are done over that weekend . i really and my weekend. i really do. and my grandfather fought in the second world war. he was a colonel in burma and to think my mum is too scared to come to london, you know , i find it shocking and know, i find it shocking and i think everyone has the right to march, but not on this day have the respect. let us mourn our fallen heroes . and i think it's fallen heroes. and i think it's absolutely disgusting thing. and winston churchill would be
4:38 pm
turning in his grave if there is thought about that. >> actually, you do sort of shine a light on another aspect of it, which is that some people will frightened to come into will be frightened to come into london because it. london because of it. >> yeah, no, absolutely. >> yeah, no, absolutely. >> agreement >> and i'm in total agreement with it's having been with lizzie. it's having been a politician for some years and. mp it's most important day mp it's the most important day in, in, in politics. that's how i used to see it as a member of parliament. and for it to be used in this way as a protest, because that's why they're doing it. mean, they're doing it. i mean, they're doing it deliberate this particular deliberate on this particular weekend . there's other days weekend. there's many other days of they of the year that they can protest. not be protest. it should not be allowed to happen, and it needs some political intervention to make it doesn't happen . in make sure it doesn't happen. in actual make sure it doesn't happen. in act|what your gary >> what about your friend, gary lineker, sparked lineker, lizzie? he's sparked a bit a political row because bit of a political row because he's saying that he criticised suella and sort of suella braverman and sort of said, what's wrong? people are marching peacefully. why marching peacefully. yeah. why would you cancel that? >> well , mouth of the day would you cancel that? >> well, mouth of the day is at it again, isn't funny? he's it again, isn't it funny? he's piped the. yes. you know what piped up the. yes. you know what gary ? stick to the football gary? stick to the football please. and you're making a fool of yourself. we're paying please. and you're making a fool of jit. rself. we're paying please. and you're making a fool of jit. rsfrankly, we're paying please. and you're making a fool of jit. rsfrankly, hee're paying
4:39 pm
please. and you're making a fool of jit. rsfrankly, he shoulding for it. i frankly, he should have an appearance on mastermind. give two planks mastermind. he'd give two planks a for their money. i'll tell you. >> and they know protesting peacefully, are they? and the organisers of the protest can't control all the protesters . control all the protesters. that's the reality. >> that's it. and i'm afraid my friends who are jewish have to leave every every weekend. they they don't want to be in london. they are scared. what is going on. and i frankly see gary lineker. it's just he's just an embarrassment and it's such a double standard. >> you know, take an example. the far right wouldn't be allowed to march on. i'd passed certain mosques in london. why can these people hijack an armistice? and that weekend that the far right are different from these protesters because these protesters are pro—palestine and supposedly what, sitting peacefully? well, but what we've seen is that there's an element within these protests who are far left, who are very
4:40 pm
supportive of the terrorists. that's the reality of it. >> we have seen people wearing honestly, this is like a walk ring through a graveyard at a funeral. >> this this is this is the time. give us the time and peace. don't disrespect us. you know , it's so disrespectful and know, it's so disrespectful and i'm all for people having their say and going on marches. but not this weekend . not this weekend. >> but what about what henry pointed out was that, well, what can they actually do anyway to stop what we have to stop it? and what we have to have our where's our police ? have our where's our police? >> we need to enforce it. and you know what was so frightening? friend's frightening? my friend's a police officer. and said, why police officer. and i said, why isn't being done? and he isn't more being done? and he actually scared . we're actually said, i'm scared. we're scared inciting. and making scared of inciting. and making things worse. we're actually not you know, we're afraid to do anything. that's our police . anything. that's our police. >> do you think it's a bit scary , actually, because there seems to be this sort of infiltra nafion to be this sort of infiltra nation that has come into this country of slow creep of country kind of a slow creep of it. and it's this sort of sort of very, i think, quite almost mediaeval culture within the
4:41 pm
pro—palestine , an element that pro—palestine, an element that i think is quite frightening. >> oh, i think we've imported some muslim extreme ism into the country. i don't think there's any doubt about that. and they have a particular view of the jewish community. and i've met people like remember, people like this. remember, i represented rochdale for a number of years, a large muslim community. i was a councillor in blackburn for many years, large muslim community. so i would come into contact with muslim people who had a particular view of the jewish community, which to say was unhealthy would be an understatement. >> but a lot of these people were quite happily rubbing along side to side, side by side before all of this kicked off. and a lot of them still are. >> and they see this as an opportunity to progress. there >> it's very frightening. and you know, my friend at their school, it was in the paper yesterday, has actually had horrific graffiti saying kill the jews. her son can't wear the blazer to school anymore . blazer to school anymore. they're actually saying, shall we do home schooling because
4:42 pm
they're that scared. you see, that's the thing. >> and there that time where >> and there was that time where there one jewish person with there was one jewish person with an israeli and had to an israeli flag, and he had to be protected by officers be protected by 50 officers and somebody blade was ready somebody with a blade was ready for him. and this is in one of the earlier marches. but well, i think it's about it's the police in leadership. think it's about it's the police in lthey'ship. have cracked >> they should have cracked down more at the beginning more heavily at the beginning and been caught on the and they've been caught on the back foot. they should have made arrest on, not arrest much earlier on, not being so kowtowed by the people on these rallies. they should have made more arrests, been more robust. >> well, it's the mayor of london stayed silent. where is the mayor of london yet again? what is he doing? what he? the mayor of london yet again? wh i: is he doing? what he? the mayor of london yet again? wh i think doing? what he? the mayor of london yet again? wh i think heing? what he? the mayor of london yet again? wh i think he muschat he? the mayor of london yet again? wh i think he must have he? the mayor of london yet again? wh i think he must have had? >> i think he must have had a handin >> i think he must have had a hand in part of the decision as to whether this is going to happen. if i had been the happen. and if i had been the mayor they had mayor of london and they had suggested i said, no, suggested that i said, no, you're doing it on day. you're not doing it on this day. so i'm confused as to why he didn't he says it's police >> well, he says it's a police operational matter, but he always he always always shifts the way he always possible. he's very good at that. should been that. but he should have been more saying more robust in saying we shouldn't be having this. >> what you
4:43 pm
>> well, let's see what you think home, this think at home, because this shows you and think at home, because this showviews. you and think at home, because this showviews. let's you and think at home, because this showviews. let's welcome| and think at home, because this showviews. let's welcome our:i your views. let's welcome our great voice their great british voice their opportunity on show opportunity to be on the show and us they think and tell us what they think about we're about the topics we're discussing. we've got discussing. i've got we've got a little map where we go over to lee didn't get our little lee and we didn't get our little map what's going on, lee map either. what's going on, lee sorry. harris it's supposed sorry. lee harris it's supposed to surprise as you to be a surprise as to who you are. lee harris there are. lee harris is there in bristol. nana i i bristol. lee hi, nana i was i was nodding along with your panel >>i panel >> i agree everything they panel >> i saying. everything they panel >> i saying. you>verything they panel >> i saying. you>veryth of| they were saying. you know, of course, shouldn't ahead on course, it shouldn't go ahead on armistice you know, in my armistice day. you know, in my opinion, is disrespectful opinion, it is disrespectful in extremely taste extremely poor taste and deliberately provocative live. and just to be clear , i and just to be clear, i shouldn't need to underline this, but i will. i strongly believe the right to protest, believe in the right to protest, even i completely disagree even if i completely disagree with and i'm definitely not with it. and i'm definitely not saying that the march should be banned altogether. would banned altogether. that would be wrong and entirely against our fundamental principles as a nation. i just think they should do it on another weekend. you know, as you've rightly pointed out, there been plenty of out, there have been plenty of marches and demonstrations in recent weeks, including today, and there'll be plenty more. i just think the police should not
4:44 pm
permit it. um, not permit it and do it on another specific date. >> well, you would think , >> well, you would think, though. you would think because usually if you're doing a protest or something like this , protest or something like this, you certain you have to get certain permissions. you would have permissions. so you would have thought that would have had thought that that would have had to and i'm just surprised to happen and i'm just surprised as to why they would have allowed it to happen, because i don't think i can create a rally allowed it to happen, because i dothe:hink i can create a rally allowed it to happen, because i dothe street can create a rally allowed it to happen, because i dothe street just create a rally allowed it to happen, because i dothe street just saying,r rally allowed it to happen, because i dothe street just saying, hey,y in the street just saying, hey, listen, everybody, meet listen, everybody, let's meet there. pretty i need there. i'm pretty sure i need council permission i need council permission and i need police aware of it. need police to be aware of it. i need a mayor. it's a big city like a mayor. if it's a big city like london. so i feel that london has been captured by this ideology. they've allowed us ideology. if they've allowed us to go ahead. what about the jewish people? about jewish people? what about israel? protests . israel? pro— israel protests. yes, israel? pro—israel protests. yes, exactly. >> and at the very least, there should be restrictions on the march certainly march and they certainly shouldn't anywhere shouldn't be allowed anywhere near cenotaph. near whitehall or the cenotaph. and what's thoroughly depressing, finish depressing, just just to finish is roughly what to is we know roughly what to expect . there are going to be expect. there are going to be huge numbers are to huge numbers are going to descend many those descend on london. many of those will supporting will be supporting hamas. we'll see flags here, the calls see isis flags here, the calls for jihad and in tada and the
4:45 pm
forjihad and in tada and the genocidal chants calling for the eradication of israel. what we won't see nana is any israeli flags or any calls for those vile terrorists or hostages or leave gaza, which will put an end to the conflict. and what we've seen so far, and i know this point has been made, but it is very strong point, is the is a very strong point, is the police will be powerless to do anything because anything significant because they're outnumbered. they're hopelessly outnumbered. well point. well that's that's the point. >> outnumbered . >> they will be outnumbered. that's they that's the problem. they certainly enough certainly don't have enough cells. bolton pointed cells. as henry bolton pointed out . so i'm cells. as henry bolton pointed out. so i'm quite sure what out. so i'm not quite sure what they plan to for but lee they plan to do for it. but lee harris, you very much. harris, thank you very much. love talk you. he's love you to talk to you. he's a great british voice he's there in add, though, in bristol. i will add, though, apparently at the moment, the protest seems somewhat protest in london seems somewhat peaceful. forster. protest in london seems somewhat peace gb forster. protest in london seems somewhat peace gb reporter er. protest in london seems somewhat peace gb reporter she's she's gb news. reporter she's out political and out there political reporter and she said was quite she said that it was quite peaceful for so we'll try peaceful for now. so we'll try and an update from her. but and get an update from her. but this is gb news be hard for people to travel. 46 minutes after i'm nana coming after 4:00. i'm nana akua coming up five. this up at five. this week's difficult conversation. i'll be talking to mother who turned talking to one mother who turned a into a a personal tragedy into a campaign good. tanya russell

there. ranging there. temperatures ranging between 10 and 14 c. as we start off the new working week, low pressure still close but pressure is still close by, but it's situated to the north—east of us. so start feeding in of us. so we start feeding in this north westerly airflow quite persistently so quite persistently. so relatively similar situation compared to sunday where those showers will continue push showers will continue to push their to in western areas, their way to in western areas, may begin to arrive further inland as we head throughout the day. further day. but certainly the further east more likely east you are, the more likely you are to stay dry and see that sunshine. situation as sunshine. similar situation as we tuesday, we head into tuesday, but wednesday sees some slightly more persistent area rain more persistent area of rain beginning to arrive. enjoy your evening by. evening by by. >> so coming up in the next houn >> so coming up in the next hour. great british debate. i'm going to be asking could sir keir starmer's stance on israel lose him the election ? but next, lose him the election? but next, it's time for our weekly royal roundup with royal biographer angela levin .

4:52 pm
coronation a bit of a coronation and it was a bit of a success. but better delve success. but who better to delve into than royal biographer into this than royal biographer angela me now. angela levin, who joins me now. angela? yeah hi. hi. >> i thought it was very good. >> i thought it was very good. >> one of the things is interesting for me because as you wrote camilla's you know, i wrote camilla's biography, when you biography, is that when you first her, you think she's first see her, you think she's very she's always withdrawn very shy. she's always withdrawn . when king charles was first going ahead, speaking very carefully, near saying, i'm sorry, but not quite . and she sorry, but not quite. and she was at the back. but then a little elephant came along and she adores elephants and her brother mark was tried to save elephants. unfortunately he he died in an accident. so she elephants. unfortunately he he died in an accident . so she was died in an accident. so she was thrilled with it. and it got better and better around her. and each time she goes abroad now, she always does something about domestic violence, which is one of her main things. she does. and 40% of the women there are are treated very badly . and are are treated very badly. and she had these women around her and they obviously adored her
4:53 pm
because aftennards it was about 20 of them who were dancing with her outside and laughing . and her outside and laughing. and she was absolutely as relaxed. and i've always said she's the sort of person who you like more, the more you see. and it was really it was really lovely. >> and the president actually put a twitter or a tweet in today and he said how much it enjoyed having them. >> first of all, i thought it was a trick, but there's 7 million followers. and i thought, well, it must be him. and he had a lovely time. thought, well, it must be him. and he had a lovely time . so the and he had a lovely time. so the nastiness of the mau mau the nastiness of the mau mau and the problem the money has, you problem and the money has, you know, but that was know, calmed down. but that was somebody thing. somebody else's thing. >> know, i just get >> i mean, you know, i just get so bored of all these so bored of hearing all these reparation things. me too. there was else's behaviour. was somebody else's behaviour. i can't for what my can't be punished for what my dad did or my grandfather or before that. if i am royal, before that. even if i am royal, which i am, the way, i'm which i am, by the way, i'm a princess ghana. oh anyway. princess in ghana. oh anyway. sorry. angela. sorry. carry on, angela. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i thought it was lovely that he actually did that to thank them very much so that we
4:54 pm
could all know that in the uk, the one person who of course didn't like it was our friend omid scobie . oh yeah, he thought omid scobie. oh yeah, he thought there was a bit of red carpet at there was a bit of red carpet at the end because it had been torrential rain and he said something extremely rude. how it shouldn't be there and it shouldn't be there and it shouldn't then pretentious shouldn't be. then pretentious and sort of stuff. and and all that sort of stuff. and his book comes out towards the end of the month. >> oh, that's why he's speaking, isn't it? >> that's why he's speaking. but also is my thought is also my idea is my thought is that meghan is stuck between what she's going to do, being very nice and sweet or continuing to complain about how she was treated in the palace. and she doesn't want to be a nasty person. he wants to be a nice one. so i think he's doing all the dirty work for her and we'll be saying lots of things about the royal family because in paragraph about it, it was in a paragraph about it, it was incredibly rude, incredibly rude about meghan, incredibly rude about meghan, incredibly rude about king charles his book. about king charles in his book. >> he was rude about meghan. >> he was rude about meghan. >> well, not sorry about camilla. sorry. he was he would help . he would avoid camilla's,
4:55 pm
help. he would avoid camilla's, avoid meghan saying anything because he could do all the damage . so saying about camilla damage. so saying about camilla that she was not very nice and neither was king charles. he wasn't popular. and prince prince william is actually still having to get the lead . and having to get the lead. and actually, it's going to be a very , very nasty, spiteful thing very, very nasty, spiteful thing because he won't have got through to the royal family all the information would be that three years old, at least . three years old, at least. >> but it's incredible. she only spent what was it, 18 months in the household . the royal household. >> she she has to win i >> she know anything about it? you know, can't learn about you know, you can't learn about the royal family 18 months. the royal family in 18 months. i've sort living in the i've sort of living in in the palace for a little bit. she didn't understand. it's very sad. she didn't understand what about prince william, though? because he's heading to singapore. yes. >> he's going to off deliver the pnzes >> he's going to off deliver the prizes today. and it's interesting, actually, that for the earthshot prize, but king charles is coming back as he
4:56 pm
goes out. and i was worried that if the planes are late, there would be no one here. and where would be no one here. and where would be no one here. and where would be the counsellors to stand in? i thought it was very strange that it was so close together . anyway, prince william together. anyway, prince william is going out there and each of five people get £1 million if they've got something really that's very interesting and potentially very good for the environment . catherine is not environment. catherine is not going with him because little george is taking exams. and so she's there to be with him. i think it's sweet. a lot of people thought it wasn't right, but i think actually, you know, if trying to get into if he's trying to get into a school, even though they'll take him whatever marks he gets, he it can be very upsetting come first. >> but like you said, you did make a point that even though they'll take him, whatever marks he gets. yeah. is . he gets. yeah. what is. >> but i think that's fair enough. she wants at enough. she wants to stay at home because he wouldn't know that would happen , would that that would happen, would he. he wouldn't. >> do. he probably >> he might do. he probably does. can see that does. well, you can see that definitely happened to prince

5:07 pm
that tanya russell joins me now. tanya i'm so sorry. first of all, to hear about your daughter. thank you. because, you know, she's gorgeous and daughters are so lovely, aren't they ? they? >> they are. >> they are. >> they are. >> they really can be irritating, but they can do . irritating, but they can do. >> definitely. yeah. so talk to me about what kind of a daughter she was. >> oh, she was fantastic. >> oh, she was fantastic. >> i mean, all three of mine are. but jody was a middle child. i'm middle child . and, child. i'm a middle child. and, you know, i kind of you know, so i kind of understood . and, you know, the understood. and, you know, the joys understood. and, you know, the joys of being in between two others, especially sisters. but jody was just so fun loving. i mean, she she sort of suffered with her epilepsy sort of for, you know, she was poorly when she was younger. and then she had her first seizure gcse year. so it was really difficult for her. but she she sort of battled through. i think i was more worried than she was, to be honest. she did her gcses didn't do too well because she was quite poorly, but she didn't like anyone to see her poorly.
5:08 pm
so the outside world just saw happy smiley jody. and yeah, she like i said, she dealt with it a lot better than i did. she just she loved her friends. she loved her family. she loved her dog, peppa. we've got a little beagle. but yeah , that was just beagle. but yeah, that was just jody. she was . i always say jody. she was. i always say she's like sunshine on a rainy day. >> oh, bless heart . bless >> oh, bless her heart. bless her heart. and so what about your other children, though? because they would have been there as well around her growing up. how has that affected them? >> oh, immensely. >> oh, immensely. >> i mean, eldest daughter, >> i mean, my eldest daughter, danny, children danny, she has three children and sadly , my grandson and sadly, my eldest grandson also lives with epilepsy as well. my youngest daughter, amy, her and jody were best friends . her and jody were best friends. squabbled. but you know, our daughters are like sisters . but daughters are like sisters. but yeah, it's really affected them. but i'm so proud of both of them. amy went on to pass every single gcse trained as a chef . single gcse trained as a chef. she's now a nursery practitioner doing digital marketing as well. danny, as i said, has got three beautiful children . so yeah,
5:09 pm
beautiful children. so yeah, they've been very affected by it, but everybody's pulled together. we've got really good support around us and they're living. they're living the life that i think jody would have wanted to. us >> and were you aware of what happened to her could happen to her in that way? >> no, i didn't. no, i had been told something called told about something called sudep but not to sudep in that way. but not to worry about it. what is it called? so it's sudep, which is sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy. i had been told about it, but told not to do any research because it would scare us. so you listen to the people and in all honesty, even the day she died and i was told it was sudep , nobody knew, even the sudep, nobody knew, even the sort of professionals, they weren't too aware of it. and so from from then on, i did a lot of research. >> and what exactly is it? okay. clearly it's sudden death in epilepsy. yeah, but what is it that they're saying is happening for that to be the case? >> so anyone with epilepsy is at risk of . sort of sadly passing
5:10 pm
risk of. sort of sadly passing it. it could be the heart fails . it. it could be the heart fails. the brain just sort of stops working. respiratory we they don't really know . so i donated don't really know. so i donated jodie's brain to medical science. sadly i won't ever find out. sort of if anything comes of it. but i still to this day, don't really know, sort of what caused her death. i just know she suddenly died and she had epilepsy and there are you know, she she took all of her medication as sadly, her seizures were nocturnal ones. so she had them in her sleep. and she had them in her sleep. and she was highest risk . we just she was highest risk. we just didn't know. >> and throughout her life because i know you said when she was five, i think it was five months old, she old you realised that she had epilepsy . that she had epilepsy. >> she she having funny >> she she was having funny turns. we've got a lot of epilepsy in our family and she was having funny turns and, and the doctor sort of because of the doctor sort of because of the family history, she was sort of fast tracked to be checked
5:11 pm
and didn't find anything. and they didn't find anything. so we just carried on sort of normal life and she it works out. she had i found in a diary sort of when she died and she'd had a few but not told me she'd written them down. but yeah her first witness one was me and my husband had chosen to go away for a night and sort of got a phone call early in the morning to say from from amy to say that jodie had had a seizure . and jodie had had a seizure. and that was her first witness. one and yeah, from then on, diagnosis was really quick and that was 2016. and then sadly she died 2017. but there was a part during her life where she didn't really suffer with the conditions of it at all. not that we knew of completely clear of it. >> she may not have told you that. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> that's the thing. because she sounds like she was just trying to protect you. yeah. even though the one was ill. >> yeah, definitely. and she didn't want anyone to know when
5:12 pm
we found and we found out. and she was diagnosed, said, diagnosed, i sort of said, look, let's out facebook let's just put out a facebook post, let everybody and post, let everybody know. and she absolutely not. she was like, absolutely not. she know. she didn't want anyone to know. she didn't want anyone to know. she anyone treat she didn't want anyone to treat her differently. so her any differently. and so i had respond to that. so had to respond to that. so i think that's what was harder for people when she died because people when she died because people weren't aware either. she didn't they weren't aware she didn't they weren't aware she didn't have epilepsy , but also didn't have epilepsy, but also how poorly she was . how poorly she was. >> and so what would you like to say to parents who have children who have epilepsy or people who have epilepsy themselves? because were told not to because you were told not to read up it. when you read because you were told not to rea about it. when you read because you were told not to rea about it, it. when you read because you were told not to rea about it, did. when you read because you were told not to rea about it, did ichen you read because you were told not to rea about it, did it frightenl read up about it, did it frighten you? it it's not so much you? then it it's not so much that it frightened me. >> it alerted me to the fact that risk and had that jodie was high risk and had we known that, i don't think i would have been quite so blase about. would have been quite so blase about . so six weeks before she about. so six weeks before she died, she had a triple seizure. we went to hospital and no further testing was done? no, nothing was worried about it. and i think was i aware i, i possibly would have pushed a little bit more at that point.
5:13 pm
>> what could they have done? >> what could they have done? >> you can get sort of deeper mri scans, change medications . mri scans, change medications. there's a really good app as well. it's called epsilon and that's really for sort of teenagers, adults. and they sort of put in their symptoms if there's any changes. and it sort of helped you go to your gp, keep on as normal contact, but even if you found that you have epilepsy and you're doing all the things you meant to do and you're getting more seizures, yeah. >> is there any way of stopping some of them? >> i think as long as you see your professional help, whether that consult ent or an that be a consult ent or an epilepsy nurse changes of medications further testing, mris, you know, eegs again, and then they can check if there's any change in the sort of brain activity. but to just be left and told that, oh, it's fine, it's not acceptable and you feel that you could have done more because of what you've read, or do you feel that there was really anything you could have done anyway? i'm i'm not thinking i don't think i could
5:14 pm
have done more. i wish i'd done more . and so it's far as jodie, more. and so it's far as jodie, like i said, six weeks before she died was i aware i probably wouldn't have sort of been fobbed off as such. is oh, this is normal because i was very aware or i'm very aware now that it wasn't . and so this is kind it wasn't. and so this is kind of why i do what i do, because i don't want to scare anybody. i don't want to scare anybody. i don't want to scare anybody. i don't want anybody to think that this is going to happen to them. ijust this is going to happen to them. i just think that it's good for people to be aware and educated of what can happen in, but also that there are are ways of helping yourself as well or helping yourself as well or helping yourself as well or helping your your child and you're their voice . i was you're their voice. i was jodie's voice, but unfortunately because i wasn't aware of any danger , was i? i didn't speak danger, was i? i didn't speak for her. and you're doing you're doing it now. >> thank you. and just finally , >> thank you. and just finally, how common is this sort of sudden death in epilepsy? >> so 21 people a week die from it. so it's not as common. i
5:15 pm
mean, there are 600,000 people in in england who have epilepsy, 21 people per week die from sudep. and i mean, that's 21, too many. it really is. and i'm i'm a part of sudep action. that's the charity who i sort of support. and they've been a massive support to me . their massive support to me. their website, sudep .org. so if anybody sort of wants to sort of contact them or you know, just to talk to somebody, they're all fantastic . they offer fantastic. they offer counselling as well for , for counselling as well for, for sort of families. but yeah, i just think if i like to think that i'm, i'm the voice for jodie now and, you know, sort of do work to to, make sure that she's not forgotten . but also she's not forgotten. but also people become more aware of epilepsy and sudep yeah, well, she'd be super proud of you. thank you. >> thank you so much. love you to talk to you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and you. that is, of course, tanya russell. she's an epilepsy campaigner. that was difficult conversations minutes after conversations 16 minutes after 5:00. is gb news. we're 5:00. this is gb news. we're live tv online and on digital live on tv online and on digital radio. if you're tuned in,

me, michael portillo gb news britain's news. me, michael portillo gb news britain's news . channel britain's news. channel >> hello there. i'm jonathan vautour here with your gb news weather forecast provided by the met office. those of us gearing up for some fireworks celebrations this evening may need to about taking need to think about taking an umbrella, for umbrella, particularly for central northern of central northern areas of england and wales. some outbreaks of rain quite cloudy here, further heavy showers and thunderstorms pushing into thunderstorms also pushing into southeastern areas england. southeastern areas of england. the intervals for inland the driest intervals for inland areas scotland and northern areas of scotland and northern ireland. a few coastal showers to but underneath to deal with, but underneath those spells, some those clearer spells, some fog could we'll could form overnight. and we'll also temperatures drop also see those temperatures drop off, certainly down into low single the single figures in the countryside underneath the cloud, holding countryside underneath the clo a i, holding countryside underneath the clo a touch holding countryside underneath the clo a touch butholding countryside underneath the clo a touch but itlding countryside underneath the clo a touch but it could up a touch higher. but it could be quite murky to start off sunday and it will take sunday morning and it will take a all a little bit of time for all that eventually clear that cloud to eventually clear its towards the north, its way off towards the north, see of as well, see some of the fog as well, just slowly clearing its way off parts and into parts of scotland and then into the afternoon, a bit of an east west split in weather. west split in our weather. the showers in showers feeding their way in from again, could be from the west again, could be quite times. eastern quite heavy at times. eastern areas largely with
5:22 pm
areas seeing largely dry with some sunshine shine some prolonged sunshine shine in there. temperatures ranging between as we between ten and 14 c. as we start off the new working week, low pressure is still close by, but it's situated to the north—east of us. so we start feeding in this westerly feeding in this north westerly airflow so airflow quite persistently. so relatively similar situation compared to sunday, where those showers will continue to push their to western areas. their way in to western areas. may begin to arrive further inland as we head throughout the day. certainly further day. but certainly the further east the likely east you are, the more likely you to stay dry and see that you are to stay dry and see that sunshine. similar situation as we into tuesday, but we head into tuesday, but wednesday slightly wednesday sees some slightly more of rain more persistent area of rain beginning arrive. enjoy your beginning to arrive. enjoy your evening . by good afternoon. evening by. by good afternoon. >> it's just coming up to 23 minutes after 5:00. this is gb news. we are the people's channel. i'm nana akua. if you just tuned in. welcome on board. right though, it's time for the great british debate. this hour. and i'm asking could sir keir starmer stance on israel hamas lose him the election? because it to be a dead cert.
5:23 pm
it seems to be a dead cert. people are saying that he could win fallout labour win the fallout from labour leader's stance on the israel hamas has raised hamas conflict has raised concerns about his party's electoral plans. now starmer refusal to call for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict has led to a significant divide within the labour party and it could risk alienating muslim voters. now the fear being that it may replicate the loss labour suffered during the iraq war in 2005. however many believe that starmer's refusal to bow to the pressure and call for a ceasefire aligns with the interests of the potential tory voters, which could bolster his electoral chances. well could this be bad news for starmer? so i'm asking could sir keir starmer stance on israel hamas lose him the election? well, i'm joined now by former labour mp denis macshane, political commentator ben dick spence . commentator ben dick spence. just the two of you are right. okay. well, i'm going to start with i was expecting somebody else, but i'm going to start
5:24 pm
with you, benedict. what do you think? >> i don't think it will lose him the election . it could cause him the election. it could cause quite a bit of dent . him the election. it could cause quite a bit of dent. but i quite a bit of a dent. but i think thing here is , is think the main thing here is, is there anyone else that these prospective might go to? prospective voters might go to? i can't see a lot of people defecting from labour to the tories, for example , or the lib tories, for example, or the lib dems over the issue of israel—palestine. now i understand that a lot of people do feel very strongly about it, but i'd have to say if you were a sort of a labour supporter, you'd be sort sat here you'd be sort of sat here thinking, look at the big thinking, guys, look at the big picture here. actually what we currently a tory currently have is a tory government very government that has been very vociferous support of vociferous in its support of israel. you have an awful lot of labour front benchers who are coming saying demanding coming out and saying demanding a ceasefire, would a ceasefire, who you would imagine would harder on imagine would be harder on israel were they to be in government. would you want to risk losing that , that that risk losing that, that that cohort an election out of sort of fury over something that ultimately let's also remember here is out of their control? keir starmer is not the prime minister at the moment and he minister at the moment and if he were prime minister, he's were to be prime minister, he's
5:25 pm
the is going to be on the one that is going to be on the one that is going to be on the telephone with benjamin netanyahu, to netanyahu, but he doesn't get to tell what to tell benjamin netanyahu what to do, ultimately the only do, that the ultimately the only person to person who can do that to people, the public and people, the israeli public and the the united the president of the united states, and biden states, at a pinch and joe biden has that he is has been very clear that he is going support netanyahu , going to support netanyahu, netanyahu may. so netanyahu come what may. so i think most labour supporters will be saying, if you really want risk an election want to risk an election over this particular you know, this particular issue, you know, be guest. but would be be my guest. but it would be a very silly thing to do. >> oh, well, i mean, it looks like things changing, like things are changing, though, because the though, for him because the optics that great. a lot optics aren't that great. a lot of people will be looking at that well, look at the of people will be looking at that he's well, look at the of people will be looking at that he's flip well, look at the of people will be looking at that he's flip flopping. k at the of people will be looking at that he's flip flopping. theythe way he's flip flopping. they might not like the sort of pro—palestinian element within might not like the sort of pro party, stinian element within might not like the sort of pro party, and|n element within might not like the sort of pro party, and|n el(would within might not like the sort of pro party, and|n el(would be1in his party, and that would be from of his hard from a lot of his hard core supposedly supporters. supposedly labour supporters. let's what we got let's see, what else have we got here? think i may denis here? i think i may have. denis macshane. let's go to denis mcshane. denis mcshane, your thoughts very broadly agree with with benedict. >> i mean, keir starmer hasn't changed his mind. he hasn't flipped flopped . he has said flipped flopped. he has said very clearly , very early on,
5:26 pm
very clearly, very early on, number one, hamas must be beaten, defeated and no more. again can we have a massive slaughter of jews. we thought we finished all that. when did he say that? >> five. >> five. >> well, he said he said that consistently because hamas is a terrorist organisation . terrorist organisation. >> that's not what he said. no, no , no. no, no. >> it's. i mean, i'm sorry >> it's. it's. i mean, i'm sorry he got into he got into trouble a little bit over the line . a little bit over the line. >> double answer to nick ferrari . it does happen. and maybe even happens to you and it's happened to me where you answered two questions, suddenly put together and some people took it to mean he was giving a carte blanche to israel to do what it wanted. he wasn't. he was the first guy to call for a humanity pause. that was then followed by the eu. joe biden saying the same thing. he said it had to everything israel did had to happen within international law. and he is an international law. and he is an international legal expert. i mean, that's his his home ground domain , jane. tricky. yes, there

domain, jane. tricky. yes, there are many people very, very concerned. it's not a muslim vote, particularly. i think it's a decent british vote that doesn't want to see the israeli army killing people other than perhaps dealing with hamas . but perhaps dealing with hamas. but it won't last until the election . i live with all this through the iraq war, so i'd a very strong muslim population , asian strong muslim population, asian community in my constituency. they were very angry over taking action against iraq. two years later . well, i certainly was later. well, i certainly was re—elected. and tony blair won. i don't want to make that comparison. it really don't. >> i wouldn't if i were you because a lot of exaggeration, six. >> no , there are 6400 labour >> no, there are 6400 labour councillors . i think maybe 20 councillors. i think maybe 20 were reported to have resigned . were reported to have resigned. and what about the benches are calling? some are calling for a ceasefire. the but haven't they written an open letter . the written an open letter. the letter. yeah. well that side by there's three 300 out of 6400 i
5:28 pm
assume i've looked at all the signatories to the earlier letter. they were all from muslim communities which are quite understand that would bit nervous if people are voting religion that's called communal realism or taking a stand on an issue of religious solidarity . issue of religious solidarity. we there are many people when i was in the house of commons. >> i want to bring stephen pound in. sorry, dennis, i don't mean to cut you off, but i need to get stephen in. stephen well, what do you think about this? >> thanks very much indeed for having there's a lot >> now, look, there's a lot of people for perfectly >> now, look, there's a lot of peoplnhonourable for perfectly >> now, look, there's a lot of peoplnhonourable and perfectly >> now, look, there's a lot of peoplnhonourable and nobletly good, honourable and noble reasons, that they have to reasons, feel that they have to do something. they're seeing horrors they horrors on both sides and they feel something has to be feel that something has to be done, something has to be said. the thing that's the difficult thing is that's a sort of emotional spasm rather than any sort of cool analysis of situation. and of the situation. you know, and i i think everybody of the situation. you know, and i a i think everybody of the situation. you know, and i a ceasefire nk everybody of the situation. you know, and i a ceasefire simply ybody of the situation. you know, and i a ceasefire simply bendy that a ceasefire simply be a time out and enable hamas to rearm , re up and prepare rearm, re up and prepare themselves for another assault, another attack. keir as i have as dennis has had a lot of
5:29 pm
experience of the ira ceasefire and the difference there is that that was a real ceasefire when hostilities were paused to allow negotiations . there is no room negotiations. there is no room for negotiation here. i mean, sometimes there's a lot of people starmer people wish that keir starmer would flop on this and would flip flop on this and suddenly change his perspective and in favour of suddenly change his perspective a|ceasefire. in favour of suddenly change his perspective a|ceasefire. but in favour of suddenly change his perspective a|ceasefire. but now in favour of suddenly change his perspective a|ceasefire. but now thatfavour of suddenly change his perspective a|ceasefire. but now thatfav01in of a ceasefire. but now that you in your heart of hearts, must your heart of hearts, you must know ceasefire would do know that a ceasefire would do no good for anybody because neither side. >> no, i don't think you should. ceasefire no, i don't think you should either. but he is calling. started calling. he then started softening stance and asking softening his stance and asking for humanitarian pause, which for a humanitarian pause, which amounts to the same thing. ultimately, it's still amounts to it's nothing . to the same thing. it's nothing. no, but it amounts to the same thing. by that may not thing. and by that they may not be thing, but they be the same thing, but they amount to the same thing. and by that that one them that i mean that one of them will disarm and the other one will disarm and the other one will the people who will rearm. and the people who will rearm. and the people who will will will rearm during that time will be to bring be hamas. i'm going to bring benedict he's been benedict in because he's been very quiet in middle there. very quiet in the middle there. benedict, you. benedict, final word to you. >> to me. i'm going >> a final word to me. i'm going to say if let us say hypothetically, keir starmer were lose general election hypothetically, keir starmer were iofe general election hypothetically, keir starmer were iofe gissue,. election

company right through until 7:00 this evening. gb news the people's . channel people's. channel >> it's just coming up to 37 minutes after 5:00. this is gb news. i'm nana akua. we're live on tv, online and on digital radio. it's time now for the great british debate. this hour. and i'm asking could sir keir starmer's stance on the israel—gaza situation lose him the election ? now, of course, the election? now, of course, the election? now, of course, the fallout from the labour leader's the conflict leader's stance on the conflict has raised concerns about his party's electoral plans by refusing to call for an
5:37 pm
immediate ceasefire, which has led to a significant divide within the labour party and could alienating muslim could risk alienating muslim voters. this could be bad news for keir starmer . what do you for keir starmer. what do you think though? so i'm asking is sir keir starmer's stance on israel—gaza enough to lose in the election? let's see what my panel of that. i'm joined panel make of that. i'm joined by columnist by broadcaster and columnist lizzie and also former lizzie cundy and also former labour mp simon danczuk. lizzie cundy and also former labour mp simon danczuk . all labour mp simon danczuk. all right. i'm going to come to you first on this one. >> yeah, could lose >> yeah, i think it could lose him election. i really do . him the election. i really do. and think he's been too and i think he's been too cocksure thinking this is cocksure thinking that this is going breeze. well, i'm going to be a breeze. well, i'm sorry he's not been genuine. his own can see through him. own party can see through him. he's a fake . he's a phoney. and he's a fake. he's a phoney. and you know, he's never laid eyes on you . on you. >> it's like that, that that that scene on. is it grease? yeah. you're a fake and phoney. >> that's it . well, that's what >> that's it. well, that's what he is. but he's dangerous . yes. he is. but he's dangerous. yes. because as i said earlier, he sits the and we know sits on the fence and we know what he really believes. he was the one that wanted corbyn to be our prime minister and he said he will make a great prime
5:38 pm
minister. and when anyone said he could be a danger to the jewish community, he say, jewish community, he would say, i accept it. and they were i don't accept it. and they were his own words. so we know where he really stands . he's an ex he really stands. he's an ex civil servant who doesn't know what a woman is. he shouldn't be our prime minister. and i'm sorry he's lost it . sorry he's lost it. >> simon, what do you think? >> simon, what do you think? >> it is a problem for him. the conflict in the middle east, the longer it goes on, it's a greater problem for keir starmer and labour party . and let me and the labour party. and let me give a practical example . give you a practical example. rochdale constituency. it was labour 97 running up to 2005. we'd had the iraq war. it's got a labour mp, lorna fitzsimons at the time. she's very pro israel. there's a large muslim population in rochdale . they population in rochdale. they effectively campaigned against her and she lost in 2005 and it went liberal democrat and a big proportion of muslim voters went liberal democrats because of the iraq war and the fact that blair
5:39 pm
took us, taken us into it, and a similar sort of scenario could occur here where starmer loses a proportion of the muslim vote and the tories, the conservatives , hold on to seats conservatives, hold on to seats that they might have lost because the tories are not calling for a ceasefire either. >> so he's behaving more like somebody from the tory party than he is. >> and this is his problem within his own party. and so where he wants to, you know, where he wants to, you know, where he wants to, you know, where he needs votes in these red wall in hyndburn , in red wall seats in hyndburn, in places like blackburn and burnley and places like that , if burnley and places like that, if he loses some of the some of the vaults to the liberal democrat 5, vaults to the liberal democrat s, then the conservatives remain in those seats. and that's the problem is gone. >> but there's 46% in a poll today. labour voters aren't happy with him. i think he's got a problem. i really do think he's got a problem and i think that's the wider issue. and whenever he is challenged he does like a cheap deckchair does fold like a cheap deckchair . really does. and you . yeah, he really does. and you know, he's he's relying
5:40 pm
know, and he's he's he's relying on on tony blair and he's not got the leadership qualities . got the leadership qualities. >> i agree with you is a significant problem. he wants the black vote. he takes the knee. he wants the jewish vote. he supports israel . he wants the he supports israel. he wants the lgbt vote. he decides he can't determine what a woman is, is they would say in rochdale he has more faces than the town hall clock. >> can the real keir starmer stand up, please ? stand up, please? >> but he might say that the larger portion of his party would probably be in support of his stance on israel, which is why he's taken that position, because if you look at what's left, the remnants , the other left, the remnants, the other parts of his party, that is actually , as you pointed out, actually, as you pointed out, a small fraction of the overall population. the overall ovennhelming population of people for him are people who vote for him are british people. yeah, no, that's right. that know right. most people that i know who are british are pro—israel and don't take a pro—palestinian stance unless, of course, you're at those universities . at one of those universities. >> absolutely. i think >> oh, no, absolutely. i think the student vote, though.
5:41 pm
>> he be struggling >> so he might be struggling there again. >> well, absolutely. there again. >> and well, absolutely. there again. >> and that's, absolutely. there again. >> and that's why olutely. there again. >> and that's why he's�*ly. there again. >> and that's why he's not wearing a poppy on the islamophobia video, because he wants appeal to muslim wants to appeal to the muslim vote retain you can't vote and retain that. you can't you can't have it both ways. >> try and please everyone you please no. one in the end. and that's happening with that's what's happening with keir he's keir starmer. i'm sorry. he's going it i'm going going to lose it and i'm going to on. to put a bet on. >> well, told you i was going >> well, i told you i was going to and i'm going to sell to do that and i'm going to sell something put the bet on something to put the bet on because feel i'll win big. but because i feel i'll win big. but i'm advising to i'm not advising anybody to gamble in way, shape or form i'm not advising anybody to gam never way, shape or form i'm not advising anybody to gam never bet. way, shape or form i'm not advising anybody to gam never bet. what,hape or form i'm not advising anybody to gam never bet. what, you'rer form i'm not advising anybody to gamnever bet. what, you're notm and never bet. what, you're not afraid lose. shows afraid to lose. this shows nothing your nothing without you and your views. welcome of our views. let's welcome some of our great voices. this is great british voices. this is their opportunity be the their opportunity to be on the show they show and tell us what they really think about the topics we're discussing. got three really think about the topics weyou, iscussing. got three really think about the topics weyou, iscussingsee. got three really think about the topics weyou, iscussingsee. there's ree of you, so let's see. there's always one too few. i always want four. right. let's see what i'm with. alan i'm going to start with. alan cook. i haven't scared cook. i hope i haven't scared you. what do you. all right. what do you think, starmer think, then? is sir keir starmer in? actually a dicey spot? in? actually quite a dicey spot? could him election? could it lose him the election? well, could it lose him the election? we|thank you for having back on. >> on. >> and i'd like to split that question into two parts because you've got 60s. >> , you know.
5:42 pm
>> so, you know. >> so, you know. >> right. okay. well, he starts can be positioned and he can't flip flop from it for a particular reason. but i think the reason the labour party may lose the next general election is because their long term policy is always been to have open borders and mass immigration. >> new immigrants always vote, tend to vote. labour and it's also been a natural home for the muslim community. >> but this week there's a new player on the block and the party of islam registered with the electoral commission to try and start a new party. >> it was refused, but for technical reasons, so they'll redo that and so soon we will have that party there. and that is a bit of rug pull for the is a bit of a rug pull for the labour party because there's a huge block vote which will go to another party, but also red wall. >> you know, they they lent their vote to the tories, but they got burnt. >> so and i can't see them going back to labour , so they will back to labour, so they will probably go to reform uk , which probably go to reform uk, which is more in line with what they
5:43 pm
thought they were voting for as a conservative party. >> so, so in answer quickly, because you've about five because you've got about five seconds answer quickly, seconds now in answer quickly, could lose him the election ? could it lose him the election? >> yes or no? yes. >> yes or no? yes. >> you think reasons not right? >> you think reasons not right? >> no, no, no, no , no. i don't >> no, no, no, no, no. i don't want the reasons. jonathan jones there with his trogoff and his tea . yeah. i saw you drinking tea. yeah. i saw you drinking your tea. i haven't got a tea cup again. keep . your tea. i haven't got a tea cup again. keep. i'm your tea. i haven't got a tea cup again. keep . i'm falling cup again. i keep. i'm falling behind. got water missing, behind. i've got water missing, but still smiling from but i'm still smiling from lizzie's quote that might lizzie's quote that he might fold cheap deck chair. fold like a cheap deck chair. >> i thought that was hilarious, but no, i think will but no, i don't think it will lose in the election. >> overthinking it, >> you're all overthinking it, tony blair did all his electioneering with mug of electioneering with a mug of tea. remember that? tea. come on. remember that? and we've very fortunate to we've been very fortunate to serve tea to all the prime ministers and we said to ministers since. and we said to david cameron, just as he was about lose his election or about to lose his election or get the that get booted out, the reason that blair and you don't is that blair won and you don't is that you're not seen out drinking the national you're national drink enough and you're overthinking it. it's not just overthinking it. it's notjust about gaza all of that. about gaza and all of that. >> terrible what's going >> it's terrible what's going on there. to be seen there. but you've got to be seen out drinking. >> drink. that's

5:45 pm
defend itself . um, and of defend itself. um, and of course, what he wants to do is put distance between the kind of corbyn era. what was perceived to be an anti—semitic element within the party and, and what he wants to do, which is embrace the jewish community and make them feel more at home within, within the labour confines . um, within the labour confines. um, but this, this is a very, very difficult line to straddle . and difficult line to straddle. and as he's finding out in terms of holding his frontbench, as you as you pointed out and backbenchers as well. so it is difficult , but backbenchers as well. so it is difficult, but i don't think it will lose him the election. you don't think it will? >> well, i think that i think it very it could escalate. very i think it could escalate. i it could. i think it i think it could. i think it shows a very unsafe side. but anyway, thank you very much, alan, alan. it's alan. alan alan, not alan. it's alan. alan oh, it is alan. alan cooke thank you, alan. brian allison. jonathan really good to talk to you. lovely. okay, this is my great british voices. what do you think? gb that you think? gb views that gbnews.com. try and read gbnews.com. we will try and read some your messages. some more of your messages. i apologise because i haven't read emails

5:47 pm
start using those hotels to house homeless people. perhaps that's part of the solution . but that's part of the solution. but it is easy for charities . they it is easy for charities. they feel good giving away a free tent and we end up with these , tent and we end up with these, you know, large communities of homeless people living in tents. thatis homeless people living in tents. that is not how we should be in britain . britain. >> well, look, first order of any government is to look after its own people. and we are not doing that. and i think it's totally what she totally disgraceful what she said, be honest . so where are said, to be honest. so where are they supposed to go ? these they supposed to go? these people in the tents we have we're spending now 3.9 billion a year on immigration, 8 million a day. and all in the hotels. what none of her solutions have worked. what about many of the homeless are veterans ? as homeless are veterans? as i actually bought one a tent because it was so cold. i used to pass him all the time outside our shopping centre. and part of the problem no, i'm not part of the problem no, i'm not part of the problem. this this government hasn't done enough for our own people. look what we're spending on immigration. that's taxpayers money, that's our taxpayers money, these issues. and i think it's
