hope you'll understand. >> it wouldn't be right for me to comment further on that specifically. more broadly, the conservative party has robust independent complaints procedures in place, but would procedures in place, but i would say has say to anybody who has information or evidence about any criminal act to, of course, talk to the police, that's the right course of action. >> boris johnson is urging western leaders to not forget the extreme brutality and torture used by hamas in their attack on israel on the 7th of october. the former prime minister spoke exclusively to gb news after touring some of the areas in israel devastated by last month's attack . he says last month's attack. he says there needs to stop what he's calling a crazy moral equivalence . look at what equivalence. look at what happened. >> and remember, this was sadism. this was an orgy of brutality and torture. now there's a difference between that and what the israeli soldier soldiers are now trying to do in gaza. the us secretary

of state has been meeting officials in turkey to discuss the expansion of aid efforts in gaza. >> it's after israel said it hit 450 hamas targets in the last 24 hours. targeting tunnels, terrorists and military equipment. but the hamas run health ministry in gaza says dozens of people were killed in the strikes. israel says a ceasefire won't happen until the more than 240 hostages held by hamas are released. anthony blinken says talks with diplomats have been productive. >> we discussed the crisis in gaza and including the efforts to significantly expand humanitarian assistance to people in need. efforts the conflict from spreading to other parts of the region and what we can do to set the conditions for a durable, sustainable and lasting peace . lasting peace. >> protests during remembrance events may be banned under plans being considered by the metropolitan police. scotland yard said it would use all powers and tactics to prevent any disruption . this after rishi

any disruption. this after rishi sunak label plans for pro—palestine protests on remembrance sunday as provocative and disrespectful. former prime minister boris johnson told gb news that the marchers would be obscene. >> remembrance sunday is their very largely to commemorate the for many, many people in our country. but also across the commonwealth who fought against and fascism . and fascism. >> burnley's council leader has resigned from the labour party over sir keir starmer's stance on the israel—hamas conflict . on the israel—hamas conflict. afrasiyab anwar says it had been a really difficult decision . the a really difficult decision. the parliamentary party backs a humanity pause in the fighting but not a full ceasefire. shadow leader of the house of commons, lucy powell , says the party lucy powell, says the party wants the same thing , saying, wants the same thing, saying, you know, no one wants to see people resigning from the labour party and obviously there are some different of opinion there at the moment on on what's

happening in the middle east. >> but largely on the whole , >> but largely on the whole, everybody in the labour party is agreed on the fact that we want to see an end to the cycle of violence and an end to the needless loss of life. >> to other news now. licenses for oil and gas projects in the north sea are set to be awarded annually under new plans. the government says the move to be announced the king's speech announced in the king's speech tomorrow will job tomorrow will provide job security for 200,000 workers and reduce britain's dependence on foreign imports. ministers also say it'll help with the transition to net zero up to 12,000 people remain without piped water in surrey, with the council declaring a major incident . thames water says incident. thames water says storm ciaran has caused issues at a water treatment plant. they're providing bottled water to residents in guildford and godalming , but locals aren't godalming, but locals aren't happy with the shortage . happy with the shortage. >> farage people have . i think >> farage people have. i think there might have been starting to panic because obviously they

all want their cup of teas. that's what they're doing and the drinks and that obviously you'll to preserve the you'll have to preserve the water you your or water when you have your bath or your stuff like that, your shower and stuff like that, your shower and stuff like that, you know, stay that way. >> up last >> he couldn't wash up last night. have night. we couldn't have a shower. we couldn't do anything. and exactly what they said and it's exactly what they said last it happened . last time it happened. >> and the frustrating thing is we have no indication as to when the water supply will be restored . restored. >> this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker. just say play gb news. now it's back to stephen and . pip back to stephen and. pip >> tamsin. thank you. >> tamsin. thank you. >> i just need to start off with a sort of apologies in advance, if you like, because as you probably know, i normally do breakfast. >> i'm going to say good morning to people all through the afternoon. >> it just gets built into your system, doesn't it? yeah. >> so i think i'm going to say all the wrong things all afternoon, bear but

afternoon, so bear with me. but at least we've of the at least we've got one of the fancy cups drinking tea out fancy new cups drinking tea out of. >> so we're all. all right. >> so we're all. all right. >> very different today. >> so we're all. all right. >> probablyy different today. >> so we're all. all right. >> probablyy diffewelltoday. >> so we're all. all right. >> probablyy diffewelltodacould >> probably could well do, could well anyway , let's get on well do anyway, let's get on with serious stuff the with the serious stuff of the day. should we? because israeli troops gaza troops have now encircled gaza city splitting city, apparently splitting the territory in two. >> it comes as the foreign office presses for a key border point in gaza to be reopened to allow british nationals to leave the bombarded territory after uk nationals were turned away over the weekend. >> well, the former prime minister boris has minister boris johnson, has urged israel's allies to never waver in their support for the war against hamas. >> in an exclusive interview with our security editor, mark white, he said he was horrified by what he saw when he toured some of the communities attacked by terrorists on the 7th of october. this is what he had to say. >> i think it was very important to come here because it's now a month exactly since the appalling atrocities of october the 7th. and i wanted to see it for myself, see the evidence of what happened for myself . but i

what happened for myself. but i also worry that across the world, even in our country, the memory of that horror is fading. and people don't understand quite how appalling hamas's crimes were . and we need to crimes were. and we need to focus on that because we've got to stop this crazy moral equivalence between hamas terrorism and what israel is now trying to do to make sure it never happens again. >> the 7th of october does fade and all the images now are off the suffering of the people and of course, there are lots of civilians caught up in this. the un are saying that israel might be guilty of war crimes. so you concerned at all at the way in which israel is prosecuting the war? >> i think there's as far as i can see and i you know, i'm sure as you have to i've talked to members of the israeli defence forces , as i've i've seen what forces, as i've i've seen what israel is trying to do. it's of

a moral it's an immoral, different category , a morally different category, a morally different category, a morally different category, a morally different category from what hamas did did on october the 7th, palestine free palestine , 7th, palestine free palestine, but also the many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands , perhaps even millions of people around the world who are cutting hamas so much slack should look at what happened . should look at what happened. and they should realise that when they go on these marches and they shout these slogans as i think quite hate filled slogans against israel, they are actually giving their support to the kind of crime crazed, racist raye racist violence that we saw on october the seventh. >> well, we know, of course , >> well, we know, of course, that many thousands are due to head out next week , end during head out next week, end during armistice s day and remembrance sunday. a lot of concern about

what might happen and calls for that march to be prevented to be banned. do you actually agree with that, that this these marches should not go ahead. >> they should remember that remembrance sunday is their very be largely to commemorate the many many people in our country but also across the commonwealth who fought against and fascism and i think for them to go out and i think for them to go out and do demonstrate in favour of and do demonstrate in favour of an anti—semitic pogrom, which is what they would be doing, is well , we can now speak to our well, we can now speak to our security editor, mark white in tel aviv. >> good afternoon to you, mark. let's first of all reflect on that interview that you did with bofis that interview that you did with boris johnson. you covered a lot of points there. it was somewhat of points there. it was somewhat of a surprise visit by him at

the weekend and yeah, but he felt it was important to be here. >> boris johnson knows, as a former journalist himself, just how the news cycle works and even though it was only a month ago that these terrible events unfold , flooded the news cycle unfold, flooded the news cycle is such that the images that are coming out now are the images of the suffering of the innocent civilians in gaza and a lot of pressure being piled on israel now to implement a ceasefire. so bofis now to implement a ceasefire. so boris johnson wanted to be here to see for himself what happened on that day. and he was visibly shocked , even when i saw him shocked, even when i saw him aftennards in the aid centre , he aftennards in the aid centre, he was really moved by by the things that he saw down in these communities where the blood stains are still all around the bullet holes that showed the massacres that took place there.

and he wants people just to remember that and remember what this conflict is about. and his main point is that israel cannot go .onliving next to what main point is that israel cannot go .on living next to what is main point is that israel cannot go .onliving next to what is a go .on living next to what is a terrorist state that hamas needs to be removed from the scene . to be removed from the scene. and people just need to acknowledge that israel needs to be allowed to do that and that there is no moral equivalence to what israel is trying to do in warning people to get out of the harm's way and to move south in gaza , trying to ensure that gaza, trying to ensure that civilians are not caught up in this . and hamas, who went out this. and hamas, who went out specifically to slaughter more than 1400 innocent members of the public. but, of course , we the public. but, of course, we know that even though the israeli military might go out of its way to try to minimise civilian casualties by the very fact that hamas is so embedded in civilian infrastructure

throughout gaza, it makes it inevitable, really, that with every israeli strike, there is a potential for more civilian casualties . casualties. >> and on the basis mark of what's been happening over the weekend, and particularly overnight, what's your assessment of actually that bomb bombardment and what is happening at the moment at. well we haven't really seen anything yet in terms of the main battle ahead because the main battle will be for gaza city. >> was it's been happening so far is that israel and the its forces has been pushing south from the northern gaza border towards gaza city, from the south. they've been moving across towards the coastline to effectively encircle gaza city. but there's been really fierce fighting as they've done that. and even now, pockets of these

hamas terrorists are popping out of tunnels all over the place. and trying to take on the israeli forces to ambush them. but in gaza city, it's a totally different prospect that they are so well dug in to this very crowded city. and they've been preparing for this for a long time. the israeli military know that they have got a hell of a fight on their hands when they get into gaza city proper. and so that is still to come, maybe at least another couple of days before they begin that offensive. in the meantime, they're trying to encourage cities , reasons to leave from cities, reasons to leave from northern gaza once again to the south. they've opened this main corridor , the salah al—din corridor, the salah al—din highway, for about four hours each day to allow civilians to go through, but not that many are taking them up on that offer . still, hundreds of thousands of people remain in northern

gaza. >> mark, looking at the wider situation or the regional situation, if you like, a little earlier we heard that uk embassy staff and families have been withdrawn from lebanon because of the risk of this crisis escalate even further . escalate even further. >> i think this is a real concern . there is potential for concern. there is potential for this conflict to become a regional conflict because of what is happening in particular on israel's northern border. we had that much anticipated speech from the leader of the hezbollah terror group , hassan nasrallah , terror group, hassan nasrallah, on friday, and people bracing for the possibility that he would signal an all out war with israel. in the end, he didn't , israel. in the end, he didn't, but he certainly did indicate that there would be an uptick in the activity across that south lebanon border . and true to his

lebanon border. and true to his word, within the last few days, we have seen many more missiles, rockets and other munitions being fired over at israeli communities in the north and israel responding in kind. and overnight , a israel responding in kind. and overnight, a significant escalation as a vehicle was struck in south lebanon . it's struck in south lebanon. it's believed by the israelis as and according to locals there, a woman and three children were killed . and then in response to killed. and then in response to that , there was a rocket attack that, there was a rocket attack over the border into northern israel. we where an israeli civilian was killed in a truck that he was driving at that time . so some real concern . alerts . so some real concern. alerts continuing in northern israel throughout the morning . throughout the morning. >> and what are we to make, mark of us secretary of state blinken as he sort of finishes his whirlwind tour of the region, is he been able to achieve anything i >> well, i think the most he can

do at the moment, while continuing to support very publicly israel's right to defend itself and to go after hamas is to try to do as much as he to can placate those, particularly arab nations around here who are very, very concerned about that the innocent civilians in gaza, understandably . understandably. >> and he says that all efforts are undennay and he believes that there is significant progress that is being made with the israelis to ensure that there are safeguards in place. again i think the opening of this highway to the south of gaza that will remain open, we're told, in the days ahead to try and get more people out, but also to try to get more aid across that rafah crossing from egypt. and we heard that overnight that the jordanians with the agreement of the israelis , performed an aid drop

israelis, performed an aid drop from the air over gaza as well. so some steps taking place, but it's still an absolutely horrific situation in in gaza. and, you know , a few aid drops and, you know, a few aid drops here. and there are not making a huge difference on the ground, to be honest . to be honest. >> okay, mark, for now, thanks very much indeed . very much indeed. >> speaking a little earlier , >> speaking a little earlier, the current prime minister, rishi sunak , said that pauses in rishi sunak, said that pauses in the fighting in gaza, but not a ceasefire are necessary to get aid in. and british nationals out . out. >> well, let's talk to our political editor, christopher hope, who joins us now. christopher, look, he's he's treading this line in. it is a fine line to walk, though, isn't it ? it? >> it's a fine line. it's easier, of course, for the pm rishi sunak to do that because , rishi sunak to do that because, of course, he hasn't got the issue with his own party. his party are fully behind him on his approach towards the israel—hamas conflict. much harder keir starmer . harder there for keir starmer. he's got councillors he's got these councillors resigning . he's got lots of resigning. he's got lots of issues on his front bench about why a ceasefire

why he's not backing a ceasefire to and backing the government. on pause . that's a big it's on a pause. that's a big it's a big test. this for keir starmer. on a pause. that's a big it's a big ttrying|is for keir starmer. on a pause. that's a big it's a big ttrying to for keir starmer. on a pause. that's a big it's a big ttrying to showir starmer. on a pause. that's a big it's a big ttrying to show middle|er. he's trying to show middle england voters who to turn england voters who want to turn to for the first time in to labour for the first time in a while. next election. why a while. the next election. why they this back the they can back this back the labour on issues of labour leader on issues of national security that's why national security and that's why it's for him. he's it's a real test for him. he's got his party together got to hold his party together somehow try and show somehow and also try and show show middle england really show the middle england really that can trusted areas of that can be trusted on areas of security and that's why so security and that's why it's so important. much easier important. but it's much easier for sunak. his big priority for mr sunak. his big priority as said, said here in norfolk as he said, said here in norfolk as he said, said here in norfolk a hours ago, getting british a few hours ago, getting british nationals getting aid in. >> i think he was also talking, wasn't he, christopher , about wasn't he, christopher, about this planned armistice day demo? there are calls to have it banned. there are calls to have it banned . where is he standing on banned. where is he standing on this issue? currently . the this issue? currently. the government is limited by what it can do on that. >> the home secretary, suella braverman , will hold a meeting braverman, will hold a meeting of the leads in the police service. the met police officers. they'll meet with her today to work out how they can.

police day of police is very difficult day of course. saturday is armistice day, the 11th of november where it's the anniversary of when the first world ended. it's first world war ended. and it's a . how can you allow a big issue. how can you allow marches, the we've seen the cenotaph on whitehall fenced off for the past ten days as protesters have walked past it. concerns about whether the cenotaph itself might be might be under threat from people walking past it. so that's the big issue. that's why big issue. and that's why there's meeting held there's a meeting being held today with with today ahead of that with with suella and pm suella braverman. and the pm told today here in told reporters today here in norfolk he says that norfolk that he says that the police must have the powers police must have all the powers they deal with they need to deal with any issue, threat to national issue, any threat to national monuments and of course allow people, of people, people, millions of people, millions us really mark millions of us really to mark that moment soberly and quietly and not not have to be hassled by protesters . by any protesters. >> let's look on a different note entirely. there is pressure growing on the pm, isn't there, over these allegations by a former conservative party chairman , jake berry, over. chairman, jake berry, over. that's right. how do you describe it? sort of a rape cover up within the party. what did he have to say about that ?

did he have to say about that? >> it's really serious. of course . it's raised in this book course. it's raised in this book by nadine dorries, a former cabinet minister. sir jake by nadine dorries, a former cabinet minister. sirjake berry cabinet minister. sir jake berry , when he was chairman of the tory party just year ago. tory party just over a year ago. he issues . he raised these issues. apparently there's mp who apparently there's a tory mp who may have committed as many as 5—5 rapes, five sexual assaults. now the pm was asked about that on a visit to norfolk and he said it's serious. but he did say to reporters that these may allude to a live police investigation because the question by labour is asking correctly isn't the party correctly is why isn't the party investigating itself? truth investigating itself? the truth of and according to the of this? and according to the pm, who of course is leader of the a live police the party, there's a live police investigation. can't cut investigation. they can't cut across that. and for now that's what can but maybe what the pm can say. but maybe more in the future if this does become public. >> political editor christopher become public. >> po thank editor christopher become public. >> po thank youyr christopher become public. >> po thank you forhristopher become public. >> po thank you for bringingr become public. >> po thank you for bringing us hope. thank you for bringing us the latest there . the latest there. >> now in just a couple of moments, we're off to new york. >> believe or not, because >> believe it or not, because donald is preparing donald trump is preparing to take stand in his fraud take the stand in his fraud trial. don't go anywhere .

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930 . it's 1225. six till 930. it's 1225. >> good to have you with us this afternoon. now eric trump says his father is fired up to take the stand today in his civil fraud trial during that trial, of course, the former president is accused of fraudulently inflating property values in order to get better terms on

loans and insurance. >> today , it may be the only >> today, it may be the only time donald trump is actually on the witness stand over the next yean the witness stand over the next year, despite facing four criminal trials. year, despite facing four criminal trials . we're joined criminal trials. we're joined now by our reporter ray addison to explain all. ray what can we expect then? i mean, this is pretty big if donald trump is actually in that witness stand, that's quite unprecedented. i think he's going to potentially come swinging today. come out swinging today. >> is his opportunity. it's >> this is his opportunity. it's his chance to stand in court. he's been fined for some of the posts that he's tweeted and put on truth social about what's been going on in decisions by the judge , the attorney general, the judge, the attorney general, letitia james, as well . and so letitia james, as well. and so this his chance to this is really his chance to stand there and say what he really feels. now, obviously, there will be restrictions and there will be restrictions and the court will try to control him. but i think it depends what trump get today for trump they get today for fascinating that he pleaded fascinating in that he pleaded the fifth during his deposition a lot. >> so you would perhaps expect him to then go in and say nothing. but it looks like we

might get the opposite. >> well, yeah, we could see some of that. and of course, you know, we know with donald trump, he sort of meander know, we know with donald trump, he he sort of meander know, we know with donald trump, he he sort (to neander know, we know with donald trump, he he sort (to tell|der around. he likes to tell stories. what he'll stories. so i think what he'll try do is take control of try and do is take control of the answers that he's giving in court. and the judge will obviously have do his best to obviously have to do his best to try prosecutor have try and the prosecutor will have to best and rein to do their best to try and rein him in a little bit. how much that success they'll have doing that success they'll have doing that seen. it's that remains to be seen. it's going fascinating. going to be fascinating. obviously have the live obviously won't have the live footage of that testimony, but we'll hear those lines as they come out. >> just bring us up to date on exactly what this trial is about and has happened so far and what has happened so far apart his son telling the apart from his son telling the court artist to make him look sexy. yeah. >> so this is the attorney general of new state, general of new york state, letitia james. he brought this case against him. she's asking for $250 million in penalties and fines against the trump organisation. as you were saying in the intro, they're being accused of having inflated the value of trump properties, things like his penthouse

apartment at the top of trump tower, which he said was 30,000ft square feet, instead of 10,000ft2, which it actually is massively inflating the value. why would they want to potentially do that , to then get potentially do that, to then get better interest rates and loan rates with banks and insurance companies? they're potentially saving them millions of dollars in repayments to those banks. now, of course, donald trump's denying all of that. however, the judge has ruled from the discovery and the evidence that's been given so far that they that they have done that. this is all now trial is this is all now this trial is all about deciding all just about deciding what the penalty will be. and as i say, it's very personal for donald trump because letitia james wants that $250 million fine, but she also wants him and his sons to lose control of the trump organisation within new york state itself. just taking away that, you know, he's he's built so much of his reputation on a being a self—made businessman creating this empire. and he risks losing it. >> but there is a civil trial,

not a criminal trial. >> but there is a civil trial, not a criminal trial . and i mean not a criminal trial. and i mean even the criminal proceedings against him aren't doing anything to damage his reputation amongst the faithful, if you like. his base. so this is just fresh pr for him ahead of 2024, isn't it? >> yeah, he's using i mean, the recent polls, i think he was about ten points ahead of the president , joe biden, in, president, joe biden, in, i think six out of seven key states in the us and he's way more than that ahead of his nearest republican rivals across across the united states. as these polls come in. so, yes, he's using it to say this is political bias. it's motivated by the democratic witch hunt of him. and a lot of his supporters agree . agree. >> do we know how long this trial is scheduled to last? and does donald trump have a break before the next one? >> i mean, he's got so many cases going on at the moment. i think it's in the 90s or something like that. in terms of how long it lasts, i've heard potentially till december, there's going to be a quick

there's not going to be a quick to resolution this. he to resolution this. whether he could being called back could end up being called back to again , i don't know. to testify again, i don't know. depends how many answers they get but it's get from him today. but it's a very sort of fluid situation. i'm not sure why it's taking so long to determine the penalty. i guess there's a lot of evidence because there's so many companies and so much detail to get into. >> yeah , it's going to be an >> yeah, it's going to be an interesting to watch. interesting one to watch. >> it all to >> and of course, it all adds to the sort of excitement, if you like, doesn't it? ray, like, to 2024, doesn't it? ray, thank you very much indeed . and thank you very much indeed. and coming up for you . thames water coming up for you. thames water is in hot water as a major incident is declared in parts of surrey. it's going to be a nightmare if you're there. but first, let's have a look at your headunes first, let's have a look at your headlines with . tamsin headlines with. tamsin >> stephen, thanks very much. here are the headlines at 1230. the prime minister has described allegations that a tory mp committed a series of rapes as very serious . it's understood very serious. it's understood sir jake berry, a former tory

party chairman, warned police at an internal failure to act on allegations of rape allowed an unnamed mp to continue to offend. rishi sunak insists his party's complaints procedures are robust . are robust. >> but so these are very serious. anonymous allegations. what i would say is it may be that they allude to something that's already the subject of a live police investigation , so live police investigation, so i hope you'll understand. it wouldn't be right for me to comment further on that specifically . more broadly, specifically. more broadly, the conservative a robust, conservative party has a robust, independent complaints procedures in place, but i would say to anybody who has information or evidence about any criminal to, of course, any criminal act to, of course, talk to the police, that's the right of . action right course of. action >> boris johnson is urging western leaders to not forget the extreme brutality and torture used by hamas in their attack on israel on the 7th of october. the former prime minister spoke exclusively to gb news after touring some of the areas in israel devastated by last month's attack. he says he

>> fair enough. >> fair enough. >> second thing is the earthshot prize ceremony has a lot of trees that have been i'm trees that have been used. i'm told going told they're going to be replanted and some replanted, try and offset some of carbon footprint . and of that carbon footprint. and there also be other there will also be other initiatives. i suppose the 15 different finalists that will be solutions which will be scaled up theory will help offset up in theory will help offset the of flying everyone to the cost of flying everyone to singapore , the environmental singapore, the environmental costs. but i'm also told by speaking to people within kensington palace because they're very aware that clearly he's to criticised for he's going to be criticised for flying miles across flying thousands of miles across the attend the globe to attend an environmental . and they environmental event. and they say it's much better being say that it's much better being in person, being there in person and discussing it with all these different companies and different companies and different stakeholders rather than doing it all over zoom. it doesn't really work. >> yeah, but what about harry? >> yeah, but what about harry? >> yeah, but what about harry? >> yeah, this is where i think steven might have been going with because younger with this because his younger brother a brother. yeah. has taken a flight out. not commercial, no . flight out. not commercial, no. >> private jets are 40 minutes. private jet over the weekend. him and meghan, along with a couple of hollywood stars, including cameron flew

including cameron diaz, flew from santa barbara airport. according to the online on according to the mail online on to vegas to attend a katy to las vegas to attend a katy perry concert and then flew back on the same private jet, the same day. now, clearly, prince harry has well, he has been accused of hypocrisy, trying to urge the public to offset their own carbon footprint. prince harry has in the past spoken that he says he flies commercially 99% of the time. he also says that the reason he has to fly private sometimes is to protect his family. so that's what prince it's not a long journey, is it? >> no private jet, but it wasn't. it's far, was it 40 santa barbara to 40 minutes from santa barbara to 40 minutes from santa barbara to las vegas? >> yes. and then the return journey as well. prince harry did fly commercially to attend his father's coronation back in may. but of course, this little jaunt was meant to be private, was not private , because it was was not private, because it was perhaps by some photographers at santa barbara airport. it just santa barbara airport. itjust exposes perhaps some of the hypocnsy exposes perhaps some of the hypocrisy he's criticised for now. >> he doesn't sit right, does it? far oh, here we go.

>> finally, sir. prince charles. i still do. you know, i still do that now all these months on king charles is due to celebrate his 75th birthday at. and prince harry, we understand, will not be there. >> no, it's king charles 75th birthday next tuesday , there's birthday next tuesday, there's going to be a big celebration at clarence house, as we understand it, attended by close family and friends. prince harry was invited, seen as an olive branch by king charles. however, prince harry has decided not to attend, but so it's difficult for him. but then you have to remember the optics, him being in a room with his close family members. prince william, who he accused of , of prince william, who he accused of, of physically prince william, who he accused of , of physically attacking prince william, who he accused of, of physically attacking him in his memoirs, spare kensington palace, not commented on that. he dubs his step mother queen camilla, as a wicked stepmother who perhaps wouldn't go down too well at king charles's celebrations . oh. oh, dear me celebrations. oh. oh, dear me never rains, but it pours . never rains, but it pours. >> cameron, thanks very much indeed. >> thank you. let's take you

back to this story about the just stop oil protesters as we have been getting more information, they've been obstructing traffic near downing street. and what looks like or appeared to be targeting the cenotaph . cenotaph. >> let's get some clarity then from our political correspondent, olivia utley , who correspondent, olivia utley, who is right there at the scene. what's happening, olivia? the victory. >> hello. yes, i am standing on whitehall in front of a group of just stop oil protesters , just stop oil protesters, supporters who've been moved from , um, the length of from, um, the length of whitehall. they've been lying in the road between westminster station leading up to the cenotaph. the cenotaph itself is blocked off by rails and police vans, so they haven't managed to get about 100m of it. at get within about 100m of it. at the they're being the moment they're being contained this space behind contained in this space behind me and are being taken away in police vans. one on one by the police. there is an enormous police. there is an enormous police presence here. it gives you an indication of just what you an indication ofjust what an effort it's going to be, what an effort it's going to be, what an enormous use of resources that's going to be to police any sort of palestinian protest that

takes place over ahmed this weekend. as i say, at the moment , they haven't managed to get near the cenotaph . and at the near the cenotaph. and at the moment feels as though the moment it feels as though the situation contained by situation is being contained by the police. it's taking 2 or 3 police officers to remove each protester because they are lying on the ground, refusing to be moved. but at the moment it feels peaceful. i've seen policemen put put banners under the heads of just stop oil protesters lying on the ground to make sure that they are comfortable . as is so often the comfortable. as is so often the case, it's quite an elderly group protesters here. it group of protesters here. it took a hell. >> do we know exactly what the just stop oil protesters were doing? were they specifically targeting the cenotaph or were they protesting near downing street that that doesn't seem to have been cleared up yet , gave have been cleared up yet, gave his only begotten son? >> well , it's not clear. >> well, it's not clear. >> well, it's not clear. >> i've spoken to the policeman here who have said that they when they arrived, these just boyle protesters were where they are now, which is about 100m from downing street and 100m

to come here because it's now a month exactly since the appalling atrocities of october the 7th. and i wanted to see it for myself, see the evidence of what happened for myself. but i also worry that across the world, even in our country , the world, even in our country, the memory of the of that horror is fading . and people don't fading. and people don't understand and quite how appalling hamas is. understand and quite how appalling hamas is . crimes were appalling hamas is. crimes were and we need to focus on that because we've got to stop this crazy moral equivalence between hamas terror ism and what israel is now trying to do to make sure it never happens again . it never happens again. >> the 7th of october. does fade and all the images now are of the suffering of the people. and of course, there are lots of civilians caught up in this. the un are saying that israel might be guilty of war crimes. are you concerned at all at the way in which israel is prosecuting the war? i think there's as far as i

can see and i you know , i'm sure can see and i you know, i'm sure as you have to i've talked to members of the israeli defence forces . forces. >> i've i've seen what israel is trying to do . it's of a moral trying to do. it's of a moral it's an immoral, trying to do. it's of a moral it's an immoral , different it's an immoral, different category , a morally different category, a morally different category, a morally different category from what hamas did did on october the 7th, palestine free palestine , but also the free palestine, but also the many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands , perhaps even of thousands, perhaps even millions of people around the world who are cutting hamas so much slack should look at what happened. much slack should look at what happened . and they should happened. and they should realise that when they go on these marches and they shout these marches and they shout these slogans, i think quite hate filled slogans against israel, they are actually giving their support to the kind of crazed racist , racist their support to the kind of crazed racist, racist violence that we saw on october the

seventh. >> well, we know of course, that many thousands are due to head out next weekend during armistice day and remembrance sunday. a lot of concern about what might happen and cause for that march to be prevented to be banned. do you actually agree with that, that this these marches should not go ahead . marches should not go ahead. >> they should remember that remembrance sunday is their very large rally to commemorate that, the many , many people in our the many, many people in our country , but also across the country, but also across the commonwealth who fought against and fascism . and i think for and fascism. and i think for them to go out and demonstrate in favour of an anti—semitic pogrom , which is what they would pogrom, which is what they would be doing , is obscene . well our be doing, is obscene. well our security editor, mark white, who

is interviewing boris johnson, there is in tel aviv. >> and mark, wide ranging interview you did there with the former prime minister. we'll get on that in a second. on to that in a second. but let's start with this let's just start with this breaking news that the rafah crossing is open egyptians breaking news that the rafah cros foreign jpen egyptians breaking news that the rafah cros foreign nationalsgyptians breaking news that the rafah cros foreign nationals asytians breaking news that the rafah cros foreign nationals as .ians and foreign nationals as. >> yes, it's very welcome news because for the last couple of days, it's been closed as far as this exodus of foreign nationals is concerned . and that was is concerned. and that was because of real concern , is that because of real concern, is that the israelis and the egyptians had that hamas was actually using the ambulances that were also being allowed to get back through and into egypt with some of the most severely injured palestinian civilians that hamas was using that actually to send some of its injured fighters over into egypt. so over the last couple of days, they've been trying to get assurances and to tighten up the procedures

to ensure that that doesn't happen. so it's open again. and it meant, of course, over the weekend that there were 88 british nationals on a list of those that were supposed to go through. they couldn't get through. they couldn't get through over the weekend. so presumably today or the next day or whenever there those individuals will be recalled to get out through that rafah crossing. the difficult to though i think that people have is because communications are so patchy and we were told that there was another outage either deliberately or not. so if the communications is in gaza, the third one in just over a week , third one in just over a week, that meant people don't have access to phones, internet, etcetera . so they might not hear etcetera. so they might not hear that their name is on the list. and even those that do hear that their name is on the list might not be able to get to rafah. the rafah crossing , just because of rafah crossing, just because of the situations they're in. they may be in a very difficult and

dangerous area where it's just not safe to leave the relative safety of whatever building they might be in full to assess how the idf are carrying out what they're doing. >> mark because obviously there is a lot of concern in nationally that they are sort of bombing in indiscriminately in parts of gaza, whereas other people seem to be saying no, they are taking a step by step , they are taking a step by step, methodical approach. what's been your reading of it? >> well, i mean, i think in terms of what the idf is doing, they you know, they have been at pains to point out constantly that they give civilians as much nofice that they give civilians as much notice as possible. they have this process of knocking on buildings quite often where they'll send percussion in charge down. that creates a lot of noise, a big bang , and gives of noise, a big bang, and gives residents a warning that within ten minutes or so about building

is going to be the subject of a big airstrike to take that building out. they've also been dropping millions of leaflets over northern gaza as well to try to encourage people to move south. they've been telephoning residents, sending text messages and recorded calls , as they say. and recorded calls, as they say. they are trying constantly to get civilians to move out of harm's way. and again, today they opened the main highway from northern gaza into the south to encourage more people to leave. but the fact is, a lot of people are deciding they want to stay away because they don't want to cede ground to the israelis. there is a real sort of psychological block as far as palestinians are concerned to this potential for them being permanently displaced . it's permanently displaced. it's happened before. they don't want to leave their homes to find that they can never return to their homes. so that prevents

it's quite a lot of people from going. there's also the issue of hamas preventing a lot of people from going as well, which is what the israel israelis say. but there is also the calculation. we know that hamas, in preventing people from going, wants people in the civilian areas because it actually wants areas because it actually wants a death toll among their own civilian populations to do the news cycle, to be out there to enrage the world, to pile pressure on israel , to call for pressure on israel, to call for a ceasefire . and in fact, sir a ceasefire. and in fact, sir keir starmer , in his speech just keir starmer, in his speech just last week touched on that as he was justifying why he didn't want a ceasefire and the calculus of hamas was one that they don't care even about their own people, never mind the israelis . and they have israelis. and they have calculated , ed, that this is the calculated, ed, that this is the way fonnard and this is what they will do to achieve that goal of attacking israel, piling the pressure on israel. so as at

some stage they stop and then hamas can just regroup , feel hamas can just regroup, feel emboldened and attack again at some point in the future . some point in the future. >> okay, mark, for now, thanks very much indeed . very much indeed. >> and just on that point , >> and just on that point, actually, the hamas run health ministry in gaza is now saying that 10,022 palestinians have died in israeli strikes, and that includes over 4100 children. but of course, we can't verify that. no no. >> just have to take their word for that at the moment. but clearly, look, whatever the actual figures are, it's horrific. on both sides. and that's the issue here that a lot of people seem to forget that that it's, you know, both sides are very badly affected by this. but you know , what are you but you know, what are you expected to do if you're population is massacred by a terrorist group? yeah, it's impossible situation . impossible situation. >> prime minister rishi sunak

has been speaking about all this a little earlier and he says that pauses in the fighting in gaza, but not a ceasefire are necessary to get aid in and to get british nationals out. >> well , let's talk to our >> well, let's talk to our political editor, christopher hope. i mean, obviously the international diplomacy going on here is happening at a pace christopher, is rishi sunak being listened to or is he sort of toeing the international line he's really following behind america , isn't he, stephen? america, isn't he, stephen? >> that's what his job is to do in this in trying to make sure that the uk can be a kind of humanitarian release. maybe we have got some uk military assets in eastern mediterranean in the eastern mediterranean that some way of helping that can be some way of helping alleviate the pressure on those people. talking about people. mark was talking about in it's a very in gaza. but it's a very difficult he is in. difficult position he is in. he's trying to make sure that we don't support a ceasefire that would would freeze the would that would freeze the situation and give hamas a degree of victory. but a pause , degree of victory. but a pause, as you said there, to allow the

aid in. and the british nationals out much easier for mr sunak to hold that line than sir keir starmer, who under pressure a lot from his own mps who have spent the days back in spent the last ten days back in their constituency , many of them spent the last ten days back in thnareas|stituency , many of them spent the last ten days back in thnareas wherelcy , many of them spent the last ten days back in thnareas where there'smy of them spent the last ten days back in thnareas where there's strong:hem in areas where there's strong pro—palestinian support , who'll pro—palestinian support, who'll be pressuring those mps to be more more pushy with their own leader, sir keir starmer, to support a ceasefire. not a pause. and that's an area which will think will see played out in the coming days and weeks as rumours westminster as we rumours in westminster as we speak of opposition day speak of an opposition day debate mps debate which could force mps to vote for either a pause or a ceasefire . and that might put ceasefire. and that might put a lot of mps name in a column. they may not want it to be in terms of winning, having the support of local people. support of their local people. and think it's and that's why i think it's a real few days for real interesting few days for sir keir starmer, literally for local councillors resigning in protest about labour's labour party's position . party's position. >> okay, christopher, thanks very much indeed. i'll tell you what is a legitimate question, which i haven't had an answer to yet is for people calling yet really is for people calling for ceasefire is what happens for a ceasefire is what happens if there is a ceasefire. how do

you then move on from the ceasefire? if hamas still exist? yes >> and hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation, organisation , how can you have organisation, how can you have a ceasefire and negotiate with those individuals who were behind that barbarity or do you have to take a different pragmatic approach? and how do you actually do that ? you actually do that? >> i don't know. of course, the argument from israel and others, including actually hillary clinton the other day, which was quite interesting, if there quite interesting, is if there was a ceasefire, hamas, little italy, regroup, restart , italy, regroup, restart, reorganise . but anyway , we can't reorganise. but anyway, we can't answer it. oh, no , no, no, no, answer it. oh, no, no, no, no, no. it all comes at a terrible human cost. this is the problem. >> do you stay with us because we're going to be live from whitehall. we've been talking about this during the program because just stop oil protesters have been arrested. we will be bringing you the latest about exactly what's been happening.

stay

sunday morning from 930 on. gb news as . news as. >> welcome back now plenty of you have been getting in touch about just stop oil protesting around whitehall . around whitehall. >> yes, just stop oil protesters should be at least find a police . osman's a policeman's month's wages are made to do community service, says jackie, virginia

says the cenotaph was erected for the public to have a physical place of remembrance for their family members who have never returned home and have never returned home and have no grave just protesting near this place or any war memorial is like desecrating grave. >> yeah, i'm a bit soppy on that. >> i tend to agree. neda says the cenotaph is as sacred as a ceremonial cemetery. well, there you go. same sort of theme, isn't it? protests wouldn't be allowed in a cemetery . no one allowed in a cemetery. no one would think of doing it, would they ? the cemetery? let's be they? in the cemetery? let's be honest. goes on say, honest. nobody goes on to say, just stop their actions are just stop oil their actions are limiting freedoms others. limiting the freedoms of others. what gives them rights? what gives them all the rights? and none i want to go about and me? none i want to go about my business without them interfering with plans , as interfering with my plans, as we've a few questions, we've also had a few questions, steven, from people wanting to know what the second badge is on your lapel. >> yeah, that's blues and royals i >> -- >> the household cavalry badge. so because my husband , though is so because my husband, though is now a veteran, was in the blues and royals, so that's why i wear

that one. >> very smart it is to no one's asked about my poppy yet my big poppy - poppy- >> it's the biggest it is huge. i think the in the i think it's the biggest in the newsroom today . i should i think it's the biggest in the news it'sn today . i should i think it's the biggest in the news it's theday . i should i think it's the biggest in the news it's the biggest i should i think it's the biggest in the news it's the biggest anywhere.d i think it's the biggest in the news it's the biggest anywhere . think it's the biggest anywhere. there's did you knit there's a big one. did you knit it ? it yourself? >> a former colleague >> i didn't. a former colleague of knitted it. of mine knitted it. >> there you go. >> oh, there you go. >> oh, there you go. >> then sold them for fiver. >> oh, well, there you go. see all the goes to the right all the money goes to the right place. that's what matters. place. and that's what matters. exactly just ask patrick exactly right. just ask patrick christie's one. heck christie's about that one. heck should that should we talk about that situation olivia utley is situation then? olivia utley is on the scene for us this afternoon. what's happening? olivia hello . olivia hello. >> yes, the scene here in westminster has calmed down now for the last hour and a half or so. just stop. oil protesters have been lining whitehall from westminster station down there to my left to up to downing street and the cenotaph to my right. it's not clear that these protesters were actually targeting the cenotaph. they were near the cenotaph , but it were near the cenotaph, but it sounds as though what was going on, speaking to police here was that protesters were lining

that the protesters were lining the road and for their own safety , they were moved to safety, they were moved to pedestrian area by the police. and one of those areas was the area surrounding the cenotaph , area surrounding the cenotaph, which is blocked off from the road . that said, of course, they road. that said, of course, they were very near the cenotaph. and there be people who feel there will be people who feel that proximity to that that even that proximity to the war memorial is a sign of disrespect. i just want to stress what an enormous operation this has been for the police in the time that i've been here. i've been standing here for about an hour and i've seen about 50 protesters being carried away by police. it takes four police men or women per protester because they have to be lifted up. they are lying on the floor like a dead weight being lifted up one by one, taken into a van and being transported away . this is an transported away. this is an absolutely phenomenal police operation. and itjust absolutely phenomenal police operation. and it just shows it's a taster , if you like, for it's a taster, if you like, for what we might see. this armistice weekend when palestinia and free palestine protesters will be lining the streets of london while

remembrance weekend events take place. it is a really, really big task for the met police. and we've heard about their resourcing difficulties in recent months. it's difficult to know how sir mark rowley, the met commissioner , will manage met commissioner, will manage the whole affair . the whole affair. >> yeah, there's likely to be more police , olivia, than than more police, olivia, than than we're seeing today. what the protesters or the organisers are saying will happen on saturday is that they won't actually go anywhere near the cenotaph and the march will take place a few hours after . the 11 the march will take place a few hours after. the 11 am. >> yeah, and it could well be the case. these marches ends, which already two weekends running. they are contained in very specific areas by law. and if protesters does stray out of those areas , the police can those areas, the police can arrest them. so far, that has been successful. the risk on saturday, of course, i've been reporting on these protests and

they tend to begin earlier than it says on the tin and end later . and of course, the preparation for the remembrance events takes quite a long time to . so quite a long time to. so managing the two even if they're supposed to be in slightly different areas of london at slightly different times, is going to be really, really difficult. indeed as you say, there will be a lot more police there will be a lot more police there there are today. there than there are here today. but you see, mean, it is but you can see, i mean, it is breaking up behind me now. but when first here, mean, breaking up behind me now. but whnhad first here, mean, breaking up behind me now. but whnhad hundreds1ere, mean, breaking up behind me now. but whnhad hundreds ofe, mean, breaking up behind me now. but whnhad hundreds of metnean, breaking up behind me now. but whnhad hundreds of met police we had hundreds of met police officers on street to deal officers on the street to deal with, probably about just officers on the street to deal with,oil)bably about just officers on the street to deal with,oil protestsyout just officers on the street to deal with,oil protests becausejust officers on the street to deal with,oil protests because each stop oil protests because each protester takes a lot of police resource in terms of what could happen on saturday may. >> i mean, boris johnson talking to gb news, who said the people taking part in these marches, it's obscene. he says . and yet it's obscene. he says. and yet the and there's a lot of political pressure, isn't there, on the home secretary to try and ban on the march on saturday. but that call has to come from the metropolitan police first,

doesn't it ? well absolutely. doesn't it? well absolutely. >> so it's a really interesting tension that's going on at the moment. rishi sunak has written to the met police commissioner mark rowley to remove mind him. and i think we can interpret that as a little bit of pressure that as a little bit of pressure that he does have the right to call the protest, to ban the call off the protest, to ban the protest there are staffing protest if there are staffing issues , if he isn't able to issues, if he isn't able to resource the policing of it. now, at the moment, mark rowley is saying that the protest will go ahead. he hasn't indicated that they'll be banned and he's saying that every resource, every legal measure at his disposal will be deployed to make that that these make sure that that these marches don't stray into obscene , as boris johnson puts it, or or disrespects . and to make sure or disrespects. and to make sure that they stay away from the senate half whether that's going to happen , whether mark rowley to happen, whether mark rowley in the coming days, will back down and actually call off the protest because of resourcing issues. protest because of resourcing issues . it remains to be seen. issues. it remains to be seen. but as you say, there is certainly some tension at the moment between the prime

minister and the home secretary on who have on the one side who have said that the march going that they think the march going ahead would be hugely disrespectful to mark rowley. on the other hand, who doesn't seem disrespectful to mark rowley. on thnbezher hand, who doesn't seem disrespectful to mark rowley. on thnbe anywhere who doesn't seem disrespectful to mark rowley. on thnbe anywhere near doesn't seem disrespectful to mark rowley. on thnbe anywhere near the sn't seem disrespectful to mark rowley. on thnbe anywhere near the pointzem disrespectful to mark rowley. on thnbe anywhere near the point of1 to be anywhere near the point of actually banning the protest. now, we've seen these tensions between the home secretary and the metropolitan police before the metropolitan police before the has said that the home secretary has said that anyone chanting anti—semitic chants should be arrested. she asked the metropolitan police to clamp down on those anti—semitic chants previous protests and chants in previous protests and when it actually came to it, the metropolitan police allowed chants from the river to the sea to be chanted on these protests, which, of course, many british jews believe is an anti—semitic tool, a call for an end to the state of israel. it sounds as though that didn't go too well down too well with suella braverman, although she didn't openly criticise the police. openly criticise the met police. but it'll be really interesting openly criticise the met police. buseell be really interesting openly criticise the met police. busee how really interesting openly criticise the met police. busee how these interesting openly criticise the met police. busee how these tensionsng openly criticise the met police. busee how these tensions play to see how these tensions play out in the coming days and in the weeks really of these the coming weeks really of these protests to. protests continue to. >> yeah, indeed. olivia thanks very indeed . very much indeed. >> let's take you to new york

where very shortly donald trump is going to arrive to testify in a civil fraud trial . that is the a civil fraud trial. that is the scene. it's about 831 oh, to be precise. >> it is 831 in the morning in new york. >> donald trump will be giving evidence. it's a civil fraud trial that is threatening his family's business empire and his two sons. donald trump jr and eric trump. they took to the stand late last week and it is the former us president's turn today. >> first time in history for the us president has testified in court in this way. so we'll keep a very close eye on that . but in a very close eye on that. but in the meantime, let's have a look at all the headlines for you this afternoon with . tamsin this afternoon with. tamsin >> stephen, thanks very much . >> stephen, thanks very much. here are the headlines at 132. the prime minister has described allegations that a tory mp committed a series of rapes as very serious . it's understood

very serious. it's understood that sir jake berry , very serious. it's understood that sirjake berry , a former that sir jake berry, a former tory party chairman , warned tory party chairman, warned police that an internal failure to act on allegations of rape allowed an unnamed mp to continue to offend. rishi sunak insists his party's complaints procedures are robust . boris procedures are robust. boris johnson is urging western leaders to not forget the extreme brutality and torture used by hamas in their attack on israel on the 7th of october. the former prime minister spoke exclusively to gb news after touring some of the areas in israel devastated by last month's attack. he says he worries that the memory of the horror is fading and that there needs to be a stop to what he's calling a crazy moral equivalent i >> -- >>a >> a look at what happened. remember this was sadism . this remember this was sadism. this was an orgy of brutality and torture. now there's a difference between that and what the israeli soldier leaders are now trying to do in gaza .

now trying to do in gaza. >> protests during remembrance events may be banned under plans being considered by the metropolitan police . scotland metropolitan police. scotland yard said it would use all powers and tactics to prevent disruption , even including disruption, even including banning marches when there's a risk of disorder. it comes after rishi sunak labelled plans for pro—palestine protests assaults on remembrance sunday as provocative and disrespectful . i provocative and disrespectful. i just stop. oil protesters have been arrested after obstructing traffic near downing street and around the cenotaph. meanwhile, two more activists smashed the glass covering the rokeby venus painting at the national gallery. the artwork was also damaged in 1914, when, as part of a suffragette protest, the activists were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. well, those are the headlines. and you can, of course, get more on all of those stories by visiting our website, gbnews.com

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930 . now let's look six till 930. now let's look ahead to tomorrow a little bit shortly because rishi sunak is expected to use the king's speech , the king's first speech speech, the king's first speech to announce new legislation for awarding oil and gas licences in the north sea. >> the prime minister says the move will help improve energy security and reach net zero targets and bolster jobs. but shadow climate secretary and liberal democrat leader ed miliband has criticised the move, calling it a retreat from net zero and part of a desperate political strategy. >> let's talk to liam halligan, who as always , is on the money. who as always, is on the money. so they're talking about annual sort of renewal of these

licences. how i mean, how does that even work? well, it usually works. >> it's quite random, say since 1970 we've only had about 30 odd renewal rounds of licences . so renewal rounds of licences. so not every year, just about every other year, but now they're going to be annual. and what's really happening here is rishi sunak, who of course announced 27 new licences last month. he's really split the labour movement here because on the one hand you get the sort of islington tendency, metropolitan, an oxbridge educated labour mps like david miliband saying, oh no, we must be all cuddly and net zero, but then you get like the hard core of the labour movement, like the gmb union, the third biggest union in, you know, people up in scotland, in aberdeen, want these oil aberdeen, they want these oil and gas licences . and actually and gas licences. and actually stephen, a lot of sort of thoughtful, analytical people are also saying, well , we need are also saying, well, we need oil and gas. even the climate change commission, the government's in—house sort of energy says oil and energy watchdog says oil and gas, which is currently 75% of

our energy needs, by the way, is still going to be 50% of our energy needs on the best scenarios by the middle of the next decade, as well next decade, we might as well use oil and gas because next decade, we might as well usyou oil and gas because next decade, we might as well usyou ship oil and gas because next decade, we might as well usyou ship inyil and gas because next decade, we might as well usyou ship in liquefieds because next decade, we might as well usyou ship in liquefied naturalse if you ship in liquefied natural gas from america by the time you've turned it into a liquid and then regasified it and crossed atlantic in a diesel crossed the atlantic in a diesel powered tanker , you're using six powered tanker, you're using six times more carbon than you're using. if we use our own oil and gas. but how important is north sea oil and gas? i've got a little graphic. as we say, the scores on the doors. i saw your little face disappointed there, stephen okay. so here stephen and pip. okay. so here we oil and gas, quite we are, uk oil and gas, quite interesting don't interesting numbers. you don't see knocking around on see them knocking around on telly much. we've got about telly very much. we've got about 300 sea oil and gas 300 active north sea oil and gas fields still, but over half of those will cease production by 2030. see how much of the oil and gas does north sea provide? well it provides 83% equivalent of the oil that we use and 54% of the oil that we use and 54% of the oil that we use and 54% of the gas that we use . so it's of the gas that we use. so it's really, really important . and if really, really important. and if that diminishes, we'd have to

import it. and oil and gas combined, how important are they? well, 75% of all energy that we use in this country, gas is 40% of our electricity generation . oil and gas, of generation. oil and gas, of course, still really important in all kinds of manufacturing, transport port. so this is not trivial by any means . and i trivial by any means. and i personally think as as oil and gas analyst of long standing in many different contexts, i think it's naive to think that you can just stop providing these licences. and also i think it's politically inept. if labour want to win seats in scotland, you can't close down scotland's biggest industry, which is oil and gas and it is also about the number of jobs it provides thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands. pip exactly , not of thousands. pip exactly, not just the extraction of oil and gas , but the refining, the gas, but the refining, the transport station, the other, you know, the petrochem industry, which is our second biggest in industry , is all biggest in industry, is all about oil and gas. so i think there's a bit of real politique happening here. i think labour's not going to be able to hold

that kind of. ed miliband cuddly cosying the greens line . i cosying up to the greens line. i think a lot of the population are going to say about, you are going to say hang about, you know, the war in know, maybe before the war in ukraine, maybe when it was only nerds wanging on about nerds like me, wanging on about energy security. we can all see. now imagine if this autumn there's a big gas price spike or a big oil price spike , a labour a big oil price spike, a labour really going to be able to hold the new drilling in the line on no new drilling in the line on no new drilling in the sea. no, they're not, the north sea. no, they're not, because paymasters because their union paymasters are be saying, look, are going to be saying, look, forget all people forget about all these people in the university towns, the posh university towns, forget these forget about all these metropolitan labour voters. you ought at the red ought to be looking at the red wall. want looking at wall. you want to be looking at blue you want to blue collar workers. you want to be ordinary household be looking at ordinary household aides petrified that aides who are petrified that their are really their energy bills are really high. i and then if you do get an energy price spike that will push up inflation, that'll start pushing up interest again. pushing up interest rates again. so has done this not so rishi sunak has done this not just sort of industrial just for sort of industrial reasons he's it for reasons. he's done it for political reasons . and this is political reasons. and this is going to be centrepiece of going to be the centrepiece of his speech next queen's his queen's speech next queen's speech. yeah. >> there you go. >> there you go. >> yeah, we're all just me kings

speech. it's. it's our age , speech. it's. it's our age, king's or mine, anyway , king's king's or mine, anyway, king's speech tomorrow . so this is speech tomorrow. so this is going to be the main headline that he wants. the tories are going to move to annual renewal of north sea oil and gas licences and he's going to try to have the argument that it's actually carbon actually a lot more carbon responsible to use our own oil and gas rather than shipping it in from the us, which we do, or qatar on on tankers. yeah. >> okay. liam, for now, thanks very much indeed . now shall we very much indeed. now shall we turn our attention to lincolnshire? i think a cafe owner who's dedicated his life to helping second world war veterans says he's desperate to find any still alive ahead of remembrance day. >> harold payne, who owns the anglia motel in lincolnshire, has spent 30 years taking veterans on trips back to places like normandy and arnhem. east midlands reporter will hollis has the story . has the story. >> on the a7 in lincolnshire, one cafe stands out and not just

because of the tank outside. for 30 years, anglia motel has been feeding hungry travellers . feeding hungry travellers. >> food's been found. no problem at all. >> i'm a coach driver, so i come here quite regular. plenty of gravy . liver was nice and tender. >> it's very hot, actually . just >> it's very hot, actually. just being myself . being myself. >> the cafe is a profession , but >> the cafe is a profession, but behind it all is a passion that the owner, harold, has spent a third of his life dedicated to . third of his life dedicated to. he's been helping second world war veterans return to places like normandy and arnhem . like normandy and arnhem. >> this is 1—1 of our first trips we ever took back to normandy. this is 1990. and as you see, all these old fellas, they're now all veterans. >> the cafe and d—day museum has raised more than £1 million for trips. so seeing veterans come in my cafe couldn't go back to normandy, couldn't go back to harlem , couldn't go back to harlem, couldn't go back to dunkirk because he hasn't got enough money. >> people like me, it's our duty

to remember them . to remember them. >> it was a conflict like no other . the catastrophic loss of other. the catastrophic loss of life is unmatched in history. but now living memory of the war is slipping in. harold was just a child then . nextjune is 80 a child then. next june is 80 years since the d—day landings. harold is giving out medals marking the anniversary. but all the veterans he knows are gone . the veterans he knows are gone. on remembrance sunday, he's inviting any second world war veterans plus their families to a special show and ceremony at the cafe . he's enlisted. british the cafe. he's enlisted. british army veteran simon to help today's job, getting the floodlights to work . floodlights to work. >> they've cut the cable inside this insert , so we need to take this insert, so we need to take these inserts out. >> simon served in two five field regiment royal artillery. he lost friends while stationed in belfast . in belfast. >> you can't forget that they

served the country to protect the people of this country. >> for some veterans, this remembrance might be their last. >> harold's hoping he can help a few more before the generation is lost . is lost. >> i've always told people over the years when i took them back, they all seem to be ten years younger. when they got off the coach. they're a completely different kind of person. >> many who fought in the war never came home. this remembrance is a chance to remind those who did that they haven't been forgotten. will hollis gb news in lincolnshire . hollis gb news in lincolnshire. >> now let's head stateside. should we? eric trump says his father, the president , the father, the president, the former president is fired up as he takes the stand today in his civil fraud trial . civil fraud trial. >> these are the live pictures from outside the court in new york, where it's just before 9:00 in the morning. and today may be the only time that the former us president is actually on the witness stand over the next year. despite facing four

criminal trials as ray addison is covering all of this for us here in the studio. >> joe. so he's not turned up yet, but have we heard anything from president trump so far? well, it's important to note that the start of the hearing has been pushed back by an hour or of so. >> or so. >> we're now looking at it starting at 230. but he has been tweeting. posted series tweeting. he's posted a series of tweets and i think we can see the main tweet that he's posted today where he obviously accused as his political opponent, today where he obviously accused as his political opponent , joe as his political opponent, joe biden, of being responsible for this and a series of other hearings. he says this is the first time, this method of cheating in an election has been so blatantly used in the usa as a political weapon . then he a political weapon. then he makes a series of allegations . makes a series of allegations. he says it's like likening it to being used in third world being used in a third world country . says biased, nasty country. says it's biased, nasty . he accuses the attorney general of being corrupt . and he general of being corrupt. and he also says almost all legal scholars have agreed that it has zero merit. a dark day for the

country, says donald trump. he also posts some some previous video footage of the attorney general, letitia james, where she's appears to have made statements while he was president and saying that, you know, action should be taken against him . so those videos are against him. so those videos are on his truth social platform and obviously being widely shared. >> this is why the trial's been put back an hour because he's too busy on. that's it social. >> yeah. i mean, the only tweeted that main tweeted about that that main tweeted about that that main tweet about about 20 minutes ago. don't know long it ago. i don't know how long it takes to sort of type takes him to sort of type them out. yeah, he's obviously out. but yeah, he's obviously been busy this morning but not at yet. at the courthouse yet. >> loses this trial, >> now, if he loses this trial, it could result in quite a hefty fine ray. >> yeah , i mean, he's he's he's >> yeah, i mean, he's he's he's he's been found guilty, so he will get some form of penalty . will get some form of penalty. how much it is remains to be seen. the attorney general is asking for up to $250 million a quarter of a billion. and also for him and his sons to lose

control of the trump organisation in new york state . organisation in new york state. and obviously that's their home town . it's it would be a real town. it's it would be a real kick in the teeth for him if that was to happen. >> towers could go on everything trump towers, the control of trump towers, the control of trump towers, the control of trump towers could go. >> you know, he's obviously got a the trump a penthouse at the top of trump towers and wouldn't be his towers and it wouldn't be his building anymore. he wouldn't be able control anymore . able to control it anymore. >> as we as we talk to you, ray, we're looking at these pictures of well , they're not trump of well, they're not trump supporters, that's for sure. can you at you see that one placard at trump behind bars? tick tock . trump behind bars? tick tock. time's up. says another one. i imagine , though, there's plenty imagine, though, there's plenty of supporters outside the court because none of this seems to be harming his chances of becoming president again. >> plenty of police, plenty of supporters, plenty of protesters as well . he's marmite, but he's as well. he's marmite, but he's got a large swathe of people that will follow him and, you know, will disregard pretty much anything that's said against him. and he uses that. he you

water pot? and he's been in touch saying because he had all big problems in south africa a couple ago and taught big problems in south africa a c01the ago and taught big problems in south africa a c01the value ago and taught big problems in south africa a c01the value of ago and taught big problems in south africa a c01the value of water.1d taught big problems in south africa a c01the value of water. she ught big problems in south africa a c01the value of water. she says, us the value of water. she says, by the way, boil the water from your water pot. it will be just fine. >> that's what i told you. i did say that to you. i'm just standing here, though. >> thanks, annie, for that . and >> thanks, annie, for that. and also, i've got to say, because we just had aiden on with the sport, matters , sport, free speech matters, which i quite like which is a handle i quite like on saying outraged that on twitter saying outraged that our tubthumping for spurs tonight and not mentioning barrow afc's magnificent win in the cup so didn't know the fa cup so i didn't know about it yeah. barrow is where i'm i do apologise for i'm from so i do apologise for that. i'm from so i do apologise for that . so barrow all the way that. so barrow afc all the way of course. >> did kidderminster >> how did kidderminster harriers do? >> how did kidderminster haroh,; do? >> how did kidderminster haroh,; do'they play ? >> oh, did they play? >> oh, did they play? >> it's my neck of the woods. >> it's my neck of the woods. >> i'd have to google that. >> i'd have to google that. >> i'd have to google that. >> i will find out. i'll find out. >> there you go. anyway, look onto serious matters for you because crossing is onto serious matters for you becaopen crossing is onto serious matters for you becaopen for crossing is onto serious matters for you becaopen for egyptians;ing is onto serious matters for you becaopen for egyptians andis now open for egyptians and foreigners on a particular foreigners who on a particular list, at least that's according to the gaza border authority . to the gaza border authority. >> yes, it comes as israel's military are carrying out one of

the heaviest bombardments of gaza war began month gaza since the war began a month ago . the run health ago. the hamas run health ministry claimed that more than 10,000 palestinians have been killed since the start killed in gaza since the start of the war. well the former prime minister, boris johnson, has urged israel's allies to never waver in their support for the war against hamas in an exclusive interview with our security editor, mark white, he shared his horror at what he saw when he toured some of the communities, attacked by terrorists on the 7th of october. for this is what he had to say . to say. >> i think it was very important to come here because it's now a month exactly since the appalling atrocities of october. the seventh. and i wanted to see it for myself, see the evidence of what happened for myself. but i also worry that across the world, even in our country , the world, even in our country, the memory of that horror is fading . memory of that horror is fading. and people don't understand and quite how appalling hamas is .

quite how appalling hamas is. crimes were and we need to focus on that because we've got to stop this crazy moral equivalence between hamas terror ism and what israel is now trying to do to make sure it never happens again. >> well, i'm sure that israel will certainly welcome your visit, given that, you know, you were widely seen as leading the charge in terms of the international community and giving support to ukraine. what do you say to israel's allies to ensure that they stay the course that they are full square behind israel ? israel? >> i think people just need to remember what happened on october the 7th. and i've seen, as i'm sure you have, too, i've been into those rooms in in that kibbutz, kfar hazor. you know , kibbutz, kfar hazor. you know, the obvious signs of innocent , the obvious signs of innocent, innocent families, men mercilessly done to death, tortured. i mean, high calibre weapons fired at them from point blank range blood , i'm afraid to blank range blood, i'm afraid to say, all over the sophia of a of

a family all over the floor. you could see exactly what had happened. and i only went to one house, right? and i the whole there was street after street had had been broken analysed in the same way. look at what happened. remember for this was sadism . this was an orgy of sadism. this was an orgy of brutality and torture against innocent people. people were were chased around the rooms in their houses and shot. now there's a difference between that and what the israeli soldiers are now trying to do in gaza. soldiers are now trying to do in gaza . so to soldiers are now trying to do in gaza . soto your your point, gaza. soto your your point, mark, about what the international community needs to remember is the difference between what israel experienced, the terrorist attack and what they're trying to do now . what they're trying to do now. what they're trying to do now. what they're trying to do now is make sure that happens again. sure that never happens again. and what i'm saying is, you know, yes, of course, we all want peace . we would all love to want peace. we would all love to see an end to hostilities, but

we've got to give israel the time and the space to conduct the operation to track down the people who did this and to make sure they can never do it again . sure they can never do it again. >> the 7th of october does fade and all the images now are of the suffering of the people. and of course, there are lots of civilians caught up in this. the un are saying that israel might be guilty of war crimes. so are you concerned at all at the way in which israel is prosecuting the war? >> i think there's as far as i can see, and i you know, i'm sure, as you have to i've talked to members of the israeli defence forces , as i've i've defence forces, as i've i've seen what israel is trying to do. it's of a moral it's an immoral , a do. it's of a moral it's an immoral, a morally different category from what hamas did on october the seventh. that was

absolutely vicious . it was absolutely vicious. it was sadistic. it was intense , did to sadistic. it was intense, did to harm to torture and to inculcate fear in the maximum possible number of civilians , because the number of civilians, because the israelis are trying to do the opposite . they're trying to find opposite. they're trying to find the people who did it. but with the people who did it. but with the minimum harm to civilians. now, that's very difficult given the urban environment of gaza and because israel is, i believe . and because israel is, i believe , fundamentally a civilised democratic society. they're going to take a long time to do it. therefore, i say to people, we've got to be reasonable and we've got to be reasonable and we've got to recognise that israel is not going to be able to accomplish this overnight. right palace free palestine . right palace free palestine. >> and we'll see many , many >> and we'll see many, many thousands of people taking to the streets of london and other cities. i mean, do you think that, for instance , the refusal,

that, for instance, the refusal, the continued refusal of the bbc to call a spade a spade and call hamas a terrorist group in some ways lit epitomises hamas in the eyes of many people. they think actually their freedom fighters to tell you, look, i'm not going to tell you, look, i'm not going to come out to another country support it, even though i am of this country. >> i'm not going to come out and slag off a great media organisation in our own country. right. that's not what i'm going to do. but what i will say is that the people who take those decisions about use of terrorist or not terrorist, they should go to the rooms that i've just been in. they should go to cafes, cafes and the other places and to all the sites where the brutality was dispensed by those hamas terror trysts. and they would be in an absolutely no doubt what those people were trying to do. they were trying to terrify they were using human

terror , human terror as an terror, human terror as an instrument of war and of violence and of their political to achieve their political ends . to achieve their political ends. thatis to achieve their political ends. that is not what the israelis are trying to do. and so i what ihope are trying to do. and so i what i hope and i hope not just they, i hope and i hope notjust they, but also the many tens of thousands , hundreds of thousands thousands, hundreds of thousands , perhaps even millions of people around the world who are cut . king people around the world who are cut. king hamas. so much slack should look at what happened. and they should realise that when they go on these marches and they shout these slogans , i and they shout these slogans, i think quite hate filled slogans against israel , they are against israel, they are actually giving their support to the kind of crazed rage , racist, the kind of crazed rage, racist, racist violence that we saw on october the 7th. >> well, we know , of course, >> well, we know, of course, that many thousands are due to head out next weekend during armistice day and remembrance sunday. a lot of concern about

what might happen and calls for that march to be prevented to be banned. do you two actually agree with that, that this these marches should not go ahead. >> they should remember that remembrance sunday is their very largely to commemorate the many, many people in our country. but also across the commonwealth who fought against and fascism and i think for them to go out and demonstrate hate in favour of an anti semitic pogrom , which is anti semitic pogrom, which is what they would be doing, is obscene. so and i think that's a matter for the police and how they manage it. on the matter for the police and how they manage it . on the issue of they manage it. on the issue of where we go further down the road, i know israel's priority

is to get rid of hamas, but clearly there will be the aftermath of that. >> and what happens do you think israel should be just making it a bit clearer to the international community about what they plan to do? >> i certainly want to see a two state solution. i want to see a somehow or other that has got to be achieved. but what do you what after this? what i don't think is reasonable to expect is that the israelis can have on their doorstep a an armed . state their doorstep a an armed. state with monopoly of the legitimate use of violence, run by hamas. absolutely not. and there is just no way that is going to happen. and that's off. that's off the agenda. so there will have to be some other solution . have to be some other solution. and there are there are many different permutations, but that's that's where it will end up. but for the time being, we've got to focus on i think the israelis have got to focus on taking the necessary early steps to ensure this can never

happen again . happen again. >> well, mark white, as you saw there, was talking to the former prime minister, boris johnson. he is live for us in tel aviv. and mark, let's start with the news that anthony blinken, i think, has concluded his diplomatic dash across the middle east. what's he said has been achieved . been achieved. >> well, he says that he has been very aggressively pushing for humanitarian pauses and some concrete proposals to help alleviate the suffering of people that are stuck in the civilian areas in gaza and are in real danger there. we know that over the last couple of days now, the israelis have actually he allowed these humanitarian corridors cause these evacuation routes to the south or through the main

highway from northern gaza into southern gaza for all our windows there, allowing they say that they've been coming under attack, though, from hamas as they've tried to open these routes and allow civilians to go further south. they're also saying that actually a lot of civilians still don't want to go south. they're still remaining in the north. hundreds of thousands of people . and that is thousands of people. and that is a real concern because obviously . a real concern because obviously , at some point within the coming days, they are going to push fonnard with their operation in the bloodiest operation in the bloodiest operation of all to go into gaza city, to take out hamas, or at least try to take out hamas in its stronghold where it's dug in to civilian communities and very well for prepared the israeli forces going in there . forces going in there. >> we're just looking at some pictures as you were talking, mark, of the rafah crossing. now. i mean, it's hugely important that that has been reopened , ed, for i mean, people

reopened, ed, for i mean, people who are on the list basically to get across. but, i mean, it's the fact that the opening , the the fact that the opening, the opening of the rafah crossing is so limited, is so restricted. how much concern does that cause for those people calling for these humanitarian pauses ? well these humanitarian pauses? well in the microcosm, in terms of the small numbers , relatively the small numbers, relatively speaking, who are going to get across there and to safety, it's worried because they are on a list and they get called fonnard if they're not on the list and they turn up at the crossing, they turn up at the crossing, they don't get through and then they don't get through and then they might not actually hear when they're on the list because communication lines in gaza are so sketchy , so patchy, and also so sketchy, so patchy, and also the area, even in southern gaza, is very risky at times. >> if you're in one location, you might not feel it's safe to leave that location to head to

rafah. and so you don't make it to the crossing. but in the in the sort of larger the context , the sort of larger the context, we are really looking at just a tiny proportion of . the 2.3 tiny proportion of. the 2.3 million people in gaza who can get through that crossing to safety in egypt. the vast majority of people are stuck in gaza even if they move to the south, it's only relatively safer. there are still airstrikes taking place in the south because hamas still has positions in the south. there coming out from these tunnels in the south on a regular basis and launching the rocket attacks into israel and trying to ambush idf forces . idf forces. >> communications mark, were down in gaza, weren't they, overnight? do we know if they are being restored or have been restored . restored. >> yeah, we think so. i mean, this happens now. this is the third time that communicate

opfions third time that communicate options have gone out. now it's either because of the poor state of the communications which , you of the communications which, you know, they are in a shocking state and can be knocked out through explosions and the like. or it might have been deliberately done by the idf as part of a tactic to try to stop hamas communicating with each other , although i think they're other, although i think they're doing it anyway through fixed lines within their tunnel system. so i'm not sure what knocking the ground level communications out would really do. and how well that would serve israel anyway . but serve israel anyway. but regardless of that, they have been severed , either been severed, either deliberately or accidentally over recent days. and that's just making the situation far worse because because the aid agencies as well , they cannot agencies as well, they cannot coordinate their sort of aid deployments there , handing out deployments there, handing out of the aid that's coming across the rafah crossing, these

distribution points. so it's all adding to the uncertainty and the chaos within gaza and the humanitarian crisis that continues to worsen . continues to worsen. >> okay, mark, thank you very much indeed. catch up with you a little bit later on. >> let's return to new york, where we understand former us president donald trump has arrived to take the stand in his civil fraud case. his two sons were . they took the stand last were. they took the stand last week. that's eric and don junior . they are also co—defendants in the case. donald trump is battling a civil fraud trial that could do real damage to his real estate empire. >> yeah , we're going to bring >> yeah, we're going to bring you more analysis on this in just a moment. don't go anywhere

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930 . to 25. six till 930. to 25. >> this is the scene in the courtroom in new york. i think it's downtown manhattan, though. correct me if i'm wrong on that. well, donald trump has arrived. he's going to take the stand in his civil fraud case. eric one of his sons, says his dad is fired up to take the stand today i >> we're joined now by our reporter ray addison, who can give us all the latest details . give us all the latest details. ray trump has arrived , but we ray trump has arrived, but we didn't see him no , he snuck in didn't see him no, he snuck in the back door by the looks of it, because we were keeping our eyes peeled as you'd expect. >> certainly didn't come

>> and he certainly didn't come in the arrive at the front. there have been much there would have been a much fanfare not surprising fanfare and it's not surprising because he likes to be seen. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> yeah, absolutely. i think maybe he's he's waiting . i mean, maybe he's he's waiting. i mean, they've set up the microphones outside for a press conference, which may or may not take place later . i think it'll be very later. i think it'll be very interesting. i think he'll play it ear as well, depending it by ear as well, depending upon the court . upon how it goes in the court. certainly if he feels that he's been treated he been treated badly, which he normally does, arguably normally normally does, arguably he then want to make a he will then want to make a statement outside. >> dangerous for him in >> is this dangerous for him in the sense that at the he and his sons actually all claim the fifth when they were doing their depositions and they did it a lot, hundreds of times today. and if he does respond to questions in there, there's a dangen questions in there, there's a danger, isn't there, that he could be sort of tipped into saying something he doesn't really want to? >> absolutely. i mean, he he took the fifth 400 times during that deposition , which is a lot that deposition, which is a lot shows how many questions he must have been answered. >> asked basically no

>> asked basically saying no comment , >> asked basically saying no comment, isn't >> asked basically saying no comment , isn't exactly. comment, isn't it exactly. >> doesn't want to >> yes, he doesn't want to incriminate himself with with his answers. and have the his answers. and he'll have the right that today as well right to do that today as well in this hearing. however he he's angry. he's upset about this. this is personal. this is not just a little bit of politics and, you know, sort of your your opponent, dennis baiting you. it's about his business. he staked his reputation on this. and so you know, it's hitting him really hard. and i think he'll want to and perhaps, you know , the prosecution can can know, the prosecution can can use that against him to get more out of him than normally he would give him. >> he's been looking very angry throughout this trial so far. he's been in court , hasn't he, he's been in court, hasn't he, several times. this is the first time he takes the stand. what damage could this potentially do today to his polling or actually, might it do no damage whatsoever ? whatsoever? >> well, the latest polling on sunday showed that he was leading in six of the seven key states against joe biden. so

that's arizona, georgia, michigan, nevada and pennsylvania. biden was ahead in wisconsin . however, a new poll wisconsin. however, a new poll has come out today , too, which has come out today, too, which indicates that if he were to be convicted in any of the four criminal cases that he's currently going through, he he could lose about 6% of the vote, which would tip just in favour of the president. joe biden . of the president. joe biden. >> see, that's well, that is interesting because a lot of the commentators have sort of said the more they throw at him and even if he's convicted, the more it's to going bolster so it's to going bolster him. so i guess there must be group of guess there must be a group of republicans somewhere who say it's crossed. it's a line crossed. >> yeah, there's blind , there's >> yeah, there's blind, there's blind trust and there is people who will feel that maybe he's been hard done by, but he'll have a lot of very traditional voters following him who feel that if somebody has been convicted by a us court of a crime , then they must therefore crime, then they must therefore be guilty. and i think that could be the tipping point for

them. >> he's his calendar, his legal calendar. he's going to be so busy that actually how much time will he have to campaign over the next year? yeah well, this is probably going to be only is probably going to be the only time that potentially well, certainly that we see time that potentially well, certain ly that we see time that potentially well, certain the that we see time that potentially well, certain the witness that we see time that potentially well, certain the witness box we see time that potentially well, certain the witness box ./e see him in the witness box. >> there's like i said, there's four there's four cases. three have got trial hearings set. so we've got the dc federal case that's related to conspiring to obstruct the 2020 election results that starts in march. we've got the florida federal classified documents , which classified documents, which starts in may. new york state business fraud case. stormy daniels that starts in march. basically, we're not we're not you know, he might choose never to go back on the stand again after today. he doesn't have to give give any evidence in those criminal trials. so this could be the one and only chance that prosecutors have to actually put some him. some questions to him. >> of time. right. >> and we're out of time. right. but just explain very but just just to explain very briefly, i mean, this this is a civil but he's already

civil case, but he's already been found guilty. yes >> so during the discovery phase , found. the judge has , he was found. the judge has decided ruled he there was decided ruled that he there was enough evidence to suggest that he has inflated the prices of his property empire and therefore got favourable interest rates from banks and insurers. that's known as fraud. and he will now have to face a penalty. okay great. >> thanks very much indeed . >> thanks very much indeed. >> thanks very much indeed. >> stay with us because very shortly we'll be looking at the disruption caused by just stop oil protesters. again they've been protesting in whitehall . been protesting in whitehall. all the details shortly. first, let's get your headlines with tamsen . pipp. tamsen. pipp. >> thank you. here are the headunes >> thank you. here are the headlines at 231. several un aid agencies have issued a joint statement regarding the aid situation in gaza , saying enough situation in gaza, saying enough is enough . it's after israel is enough. it's after israel said it hit 450 hamas targets in the last 24 hours targeting tunnels , terrorists and military tunnels, terrorists and military equipment at the hamas run

country. so taken place in a foreign country. s0 singapore is the host and he apologised for the fact that his wife was not accompanied him. the reason being is that she is helping prince george prepare for his exams. now, he didn't go into too much detail as to what exams . however, it's understood that it's the first of three separate exams. prince george has to do to get into eton college if he so wishes , when he's 13 years so wishes, when he's 13 years old. remember, he's only ten at the moment. and fun fact for you, the tie prince william's wearing . not that you can see it wearing. not that you can see it on that pic, but it's from on that pic, but it's made from recycled plastic bottles. oh all about sustainability for the next few days in singapore. >> oh, very good. good. i mean good on him for that. i mean it's quite nice that i mean he does to he does preach does seem to he does preach about these sort of environmental issues , which is environmental issues, which is fair . but he does he fair enough. but he does he always seems to sort of practise what he preaches a little bit, which is quite nice to see. yes. >> so, for example, he flew commercially to singapore a few days ago, as are a number of the

other a—listers attending his earthshot prize award ceremony, which is happening tomorrow . so which is happening tomorrow. so his , yesterday his brother, though, yesterday or this weekend even he flew on a private jet with his wife , a private jet with his wife, meghan markle, to attend a concert in las vegas. he's been accused of hypocrisy because, of course, he as well is one who talks about the importance of the environment and cutting down your carbon footprint. and yet he's flying commercially. sorry flying privately. prince harry would say that he flies privately to protect his family. so make of that what you will. >> he's not flying, though, to his father's 75th birthday celebrations this week. >> no. as we understand it, prince. sorry. the king is celebrating his 75th birthday next tuesday. a big party at clarence house is expected to be attended by close family and friends. prince harry was extended an invite, according to some of the papers this morning. basically an olive branch from the king to his youngest son. but prince harry has turned down

the invitation . the last time he the invitation. the last time he was in the united kingdom , well, was in the united kingdom, well, the last time he saw his father would have been at the coronation in may. but it's understood actually understood he didn't actually speak father at on speak to his father at all on that back at the that day. it was back at the queen's funeral in september 2022, where he last spoke to his father. but perhaps it would have been awkward. of have been slightly awkward. of course, would course, prince william would be is be at charles's is going to be at king charles's party, as is camilla. he accused his brother of physically attacking him and called the queen an evil or a wicked stepmother. >> it's very sad , isn't it? >> it's very sad, isn't it? >> it's very sad, isn't it? >> well, you see the issue with that is, i think if you the minute you don't attend something like a 75th, a significant birthday, then that division becomes ever more impossible to cross , doesn't it? impossible to cross, doesn't it? >> the longer time goes on, the harder it is. >> it does. and when they eventually do meet up again, i'm sure they will at some point. i don't it's in the near don't think it's in the near future, but the spotlight's just going on feud again, going to be on the feud again, isn't that's all we're isn't it? and that's all we're going talking about. the going to be talking about. the reconciliation rather than

whatever palace would buckingham palace would presumably to be on. presumably want to be on. >> it sounds like king charles constantly tries to, i say reach out to his son, but does invite him to events. >> yeah, it's basically the private father in him. we know that king charles still very much loves his younger son versus the crown. and his his role as king and head of state. and the two being in conflict with one another. that seems to be the issue. it's really i guess what we don't know is whether they are talking on the phone or whatever. >> we know what's happening. >> no, we never we never >> no, we never know. we never know said behind closed know what's said behind closed doors. seem adamant doors. the papers seem adamant that haven't talked for that they haven't talked for over year we don't know over a year now. we don't know exactly what kind contacts, exactly what kind of contacts, if is happening between the if any, is happening between the two them. the fact that two of them. but the fact that prince is not attending prince harry is not attending this party next week, i think speaks volumes. >> it's a real shame. >> oh, it's a real shame. >> oh, it's a real shame. >> it is. and there's little cousins, aren't there? william's children , harry's children. they children, harry's children. they clearly can't get together and

they would love each they would probably love each other they would probably love each oth no, probably they've never >> no, probably they've never met. it's understood that prince harry to princess harry is very close to princess beatrice. he's prince andrew, his and their children . his daughter and their children. so there is still some family links, but not the close family. >> cameron thank you very >> okay. cameron thank you very much indeed. you're like family. >> thank you . you're very kind. >> thank you. you're very kind. >> thank you. you're very kind. >> no, well, it's true . it's gb >> no, well, it's true. it's gb news family. you know, we don't always get along. we don't always get along. we don't always agree . well, know, always agree. well, you know, i always agree. well, you know, i always say it together. always agree. well, you know, i alw familiest together. always agree. well, you know, i alw families are together. always agree. well, you know, i aleamilies are dysfunctional. >> families are dysfunctional. >> families are dysfunctional. >> dysfunctional. >> well, they are dysfunctional. you've to you've got to be able to disagree and all that sort of thing. long as you stay thing. but as long as you stay together we talk sheep? together, shall we talk sheep? well, want . well, if you want. >> well, go on with the sound effects. >> that's quite good, actually. thank you. yes, because i'm a country boy. you see, i grew up surrounded by sheep. >> i was not many people. >> i was not many people. >> i was practically brought up by i always i was by sheep. i always say i was born cattle great. well you by sheep. i always say i was born love cattle great. well you by sheep. i always say i was born love thistle great. well you by sheep. i always say i was born love this story, eat. well you by sheep. i always say i was born love this story, stephen,you will love this story, stephen, because as because the sheep described as the loneliest in britain is said to be settling in well to her new home. oh, lovely stuff. this is fiona . she was rescued after is fiona. she was rescued after being stranded for more than two

years at the foot of cliffs in the scottish highlands at a protest was staged at the weekend by animal rights groups over plans to move her to farm. >> well, joining us now is rose patterson from animal activist group animal rising. good afternoon to euros. thanks for being with us this afternoon on gb news live now you had or do have a bit of an issue, don't you, with fiona going to this new home. just explain to us what your objection is . i thanks what your objection is. i thanks for having me on the show. >> so, yeah, we're really, really happy that the owner has been rescued and that she's happy and healthy at the moment. and as she has been at the bottom of a cliff for two years, living on her own, we believe and know the public believe that she deserves the best possible life and care that she can have. and the only way we can guarantee that is to send us to a sanctuary , which is a place

a sanctuary, which is a place where animals are not bred or bred for entertainment or bred to be eaten, they only rescue, abandoned and neglected animals. and we know that they can give her the safest and best home possible. but isn't it fair to say that on a farm at least, she's, you know , she's she's she's, you know, she's she's going to be back with her own kind. >> she's going to be mingling. she's going to be looked after . she's going to be looked after. and i very much doubt whether she's going to be kept for mutton or anything that, mutton or anything like that, because you can imagine the outcry be after this outcry they'd be after this story now and becoming sort of well known, if you like. so isn't just to have a isn't she just going to have a nice life for rest of nice little life for the rest of her on this farm? i'm well, her days on this farm? i'm well, as i said , the only way we can as i said, the only way we can guarantee her having a safe life is on a sanctuary. >> and i did actually speak to the farmer who lived at the top of the cliff and he believes that she came from his farm. i spoke to him last week along with some of my colleagues. we already come up with a rescue plan and we're planning on

working with him. and he also agreed a sanctuary would be agreed that a sanctuary would be the for so we the best home for her. so we came to an agreement to work together to rescue to together to rescue her and to take to her a sanctuary. and then, unfortunately , on saturday then, unfortunately, on saturday morning, that morning, we found out that instead operation had instead the operation had happened and that she'd gone to osbourne farm and i do question why, when he knew that we had a sanctuary lined up for her, why she was still sent to a place where people pay to come and see the animals, pet animals. where people pay to come and see the animals, pet animals . they the animals, pet animals. they also breed animals. um, when there are plenty of animals that need help and new homes. so there's no need for what they're saying, though actually at the farm is that fiona is settling in well, she's eating and drinking. >> she's not carrying around that huge coat. she had any more . and this has been such a huge story. anyway, rose that surely there are vets that are keeping a very close eye on her. >> yeah, of course . and i'm sure

>> yeah, of course. and i'm sure that. yeah she's okay right now. i know that no one's going to visit her for the next five months, but next year people will start paying to come and see her. she's going to be used as an attraction. it's quite clear from the narrative that they've been spending that she's going to be there and people will be coming to visit her. we know that's the case. when know that that's the case. when all right. are all right. there are alternatives . representative alternatives. representative rose wants to see her the best. >> forgive me forjumping in, but what what's wrong with people wanting to see her and paying to go and see her? because in some respects, in terms of our affinity with animals and respect for farm animals and respect for farm animals and respect for farm animals and everyday animals like sheep, that isn't getting people in to see her, to meet her, getting children to interact. isn't that a positive thing? doesn't that help it affect your cause ? affect your cause? >> yeah, i think it's not surprising that there's huge interest in this story , and i

interest in this story, and i think it's great that the public have been wanting to see her get rescued and seen all the support for fiona and but yeah, the rspca said themselves that as she has been at the bottom of a cliff for two years in isolation and she's going to be nervous around humans, this is just not what she needs. she doesn't need. it's not about us. it's about her. it's not about people getting the chance to meet her or see her. you can see her in photos and videos and things, and we should just leave it at that. not us. it's that. it's not about us. it's about her. and what is for about her. and what is the for best her. >> rose. good get >> okay, rose. good to get your perspective afternoon. perspective this afternoon. thanks indeed . thanks very much indeed. >> well, i think it's good to see her in a in a new home. i'd be really concerned if she was going to be slaughtered, but that does not sound like that is the outcome here. >> no, it doesn't . i mean, look, >> no, it doesn't. i mean, look, i wouldn't ever disagree with her going sanctuary, but her going to a sanctuary, but can a good life on the can she have a good life on the farm? would tend to think so. farm? i would tend to think so. rose know what rose disagree. let us know what you think. vaiews@gbnews.com.

>> there are a lot of people keeping an eye on old fiona. now because famous. yeah because she's so famous. yeah >> yeah. i have to make sure she's doing all right. think she's doing all right. i think that's main thing . now, that's the main thing. now, should at british should we have a look at british steel confirmed plans steel? yeah it's confirmed plans to close down blast furnaces and replacing them with what they call electric arc models . it's call electric arc models. it's all greener. this happening at its scunthorpe plant. >> it's being heralded as a new modern vision for steel making. but with up to 2000 jobs at risk, it's a move which trade unions are calling deeply concerning . concerning. >> let's talk to gareth stace , >> let's talk to gareth stace, who's director general of uk steel. really good to see you this afternoon . thanks for your this afternoon. thanks for your time. why is this a necessary move if it's going to put so many people out of work? look well, we know that net zero is important to society. >> the government and we in the steel industry a year ago published our net zero roadmap where we set out our vision and

our timetable of how the steel sector in the uk would transition to net zero. we're a very carbon intensive sector and the tried and tested technologies you just said for making that transition is to move to make steel through the electric arc furnace using scrap steel. >> you just remelt it and you make new steel again. >> and therefore this is really a bold move by british steel because what do you do? >> do you make further investments like massive investments like massive investment in in renewables furnaces or do you move to the technology that delivers on net zero? and that's what the announcement today is all about, moving to net zero, showing that the uk sector as a whole is committed to that transition to rapidly move to net zero. the market's asking for it, society's asking for it and government is asking for it. and we're responding . we're responding. >> but i have to put to you what labour's shadow business secretary jonathan reynolds, is saying . he's calling it a saying. he's calling it a

sticking plaster and that it is not a seriously joined up plan for the long term for our steel industry. and he's seriously concerned about the thousands of workers in scunthorpe who could be made redundant. here >> we've seen around the world any of the sectors that want to invest in new technologies are investing in electric arc furnace . yes, a regrettable furnace. yes, a regrettable there will be job losses, but we have to manage that transition and it doesn't come without risk . it doesn't come without difficulty. but that transition , difficulty. but that transition, as british steel has said today in its announcement, that they are not going to make those redundancies tomorrow or , you redundancies tomorrow or, you know, early next year, they're not to the blast not going to shut the blast furnaces until which that furnaces until which time that the arc furnaces in the electric arc furnaces in teesside and in scunthorpe are fully operating . and therefore, fully operating. and therefore, thatis fully operating. and therefore, that is in the next few years. and so that transition iron will, i hope to some extent be

managed through natural retirement and putting people in different areas of the business and building up and investing in other parts of, of steel company, not just in steel making. >> does a move to this sort of technology, does it does it open up doors for different things for british steel, for diversifying in various ways for increasing a workforce perhaps increasing a workforce perhaps in various ways ? in various ways? >> well, that's a good point in the sense i've just been saying that the market is seeking us to do this. and so they're asking us all the time, especially in construction for steel girders, in buildings that they want net zero steel. well, this plan enables us to do that so we can then supply our home market here in the uk. we can then start to build up our exports, which have rapidly or over time been declining. we've seen more imports of if i keep on talking about girders, girders that have come in from europe and

elsewhere that are made in electric arc furnaces and therefore we can satisfy that market. and i hope this is the start of a new beginning for steel in the uk. it won't change tomorrow . it'll be years in the tomorrow. it'll be years in the making . but if we did tomorrow. it'll be years in the making. but if we did nothing, if we just continued to make not that much investment in existing and technology, then i fear in the next few years we won't have a steel sector in the uk. so this is a bold move by british steel and it should be really welcomed across the whole of the sector . sector. >> okay, gareth, stace, director general of uk steel , thanks for general of uk steel, thanks for your time this afternoon . hm. your time this afternoon. hm. >> interesting , isn't it? it >> interesting, isn't it? it does help maybe build the industry in the future . industry in the future. >> i know, but if you're one of the 2000 odd people who could be made redundant, it's not a good day at all. no no. >> now just stop. oil protests have been obstructing traffic near downing street and also near downing street and also near the cenotaph as they stage a demonstration at whitehall

today . today. >> protesters also earlier smashed up the rokeby venus in the national gallery, smashing the national gallery, smashing the glass there. now that was smashed by suffragettes back in 1914. the climate activists are calling for action and not words , not pictures either. >> by all accounts. let's talk to our political correspondent olivia utley, who's down at the scene for us. oh, no. she's back in the studio now. oh, there you go. you you've had enough of standing next to the just stop oil olivia ? oil people, have you, olivia? how did it all end then ? how did it all end then? >> well, the protest did actually end all of the just stop oil protesters were taken away by police. it was an absolutely enormous operation for police . i was there between for police. i was there between about 12 and two. and in that time i saw about 50, 60 arrests, probably . and every single probably. and every single protester who got taken away, they were lying sort of prone in they were lying sort of prone in the middle of the road . and so the middle of the road. and so it took four policemen for every protester. so you can imagine the police presence on whitehall

. now, it was rumoured that they were targeting the senator from what i could tell, that wasn't actually correct. they were lying on the road between westminster station and downing street, which is next to the cenotaph on whitehall in the middle of the road, and because they were in harm's way in the on the busy road, police were removing them to the area around the cenotaph for their own safety. so it doesn't sound on the face of it as though they were actively targeting the cenotaph, although people may, of course believe that just being so close to the war memorial is disrespectful in itself. what really struck me about the protest was just how huge the police operation is going to have to be this weekend . and when the palestinian protests clash, or at least very nearly cash, they're supposed to be a few hours apart. but with armistice day events, there were enormous numbers of policemen at the just stop oil event today. and we can expect to see far, far more than that this weekend .

far more than that this weekend. will, sir mark rowley, the chief of the met police be able to have the resources? will he be able to police such an enormous event with tensions running so high? >> okay, olivia, for now, thanks very much indeed. good to see you . you. >> and i'm sure that martin daubney will be picking this up. he is joining you next. but that is it from us this afternoon. thanks so much for your company. yeah. >> we'll see you tomorrow at 12

ww w w welcome to the patrick christys show . christys show. >> martin daubney covering for pat. this week. big boots to fill. we've got an action packed show coming up, including the big topic of the week on saturday. of course, the 11th hour of the 11th day, the 11th month or mr stay. but of course, a mob of pro palestine protesters may come and rain on the parade should it be stopped? what do we do to control that? also, just stop oil they were targeting whitehall arrest and held at the cenotaph. should they be sent to jail? suella braverman said they should be sent to jail as quick as their feet can touch the ground. let's see what happens. also, crisis for keir . 11 see what happens. also, crisis for keir. 11 more labour councillors quit the party, taking the total to 50 with labour's palestine problem could

be a problem for keir starmer at the next general election. and finally whoopee, they could finally whoopee, they could finally be an end to the highest taxes since world war ii. this fella, jeremy hunt, has found £15 billion down the back of his sofa . sofa. >> is it time for a tax cut? >> is it time for a tax cut? >> we'll be talking to tory grandee, sir john redwood. aslef. i want to hear from you. this is your show, gb views news at gbnews.com especially about that armistice day protest. is it time to ban it? should we let it time to ban it? should we let it go ahead? all of that and much more coming up. but first, here's your news with . tamsin here's your news with. tamsin >> martin. thank you and good afternoon from the gb newsroom. it's 3:01 says all un agencies have issued a joint statement regarding the aid situation in gaza , saying enough is enough .
