sadism. this was an orgy of brutality and torture. now there's a difference between that and what the israeli state soldiers are now trying to do in gaza. just stop. >> oil denies it targeted the cenotaph this morning after dozens of protesters were arrested . the group says it was arrested. the group says it was moved to the base of the monument by police after shutting down traffic near downing street. meanwhile, two more activists smashed the glass covering the rokeby venus painting at the national gallery. the artwork was also damaged in 1914 as part of a suffragette protest , but they suffragette protest, but they were arrested today on suspicion of criminal damage. well all those protests come after it was announced that licences for oil and gas projects in the north sea are to be awarded annually . sea are to be awarded annually. the government says the move to be announced in the king's speech tomorrow will provide job security for 200,000 workers and reduce britain's dependence on foreign imports . ministers also

foreign imports. ministers also say it'll help with the transition to net zero proto tests 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 . it's to prevent any disruption. it's after the prime minister labelled plans for pro—palestine protests on remembrance sunday as provocative and disrespectful . donald trump is in new york court as he battles a civil fraud trial that threatens his real estate. the former president is accused of inflating the value of properties by over £1.65 billion to secure favourable loans. losing the trial would mean a £200 million fine. a ban on trump doing business in his home state and losing control of properties like trump tower. his two eldest sons have already testified , denying the testified, denying the accusations. but new york attorney general letitia james says the facts don't lie before

he takes the stand. >> i am certain that he will engagein >> i am certain that he will engage in name calling and taunts and race baiting and call this a witch hunt. >> but at the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the only thing that matters are the facts and the numbers. and numbers. my friends don't lie. the prime minister has described allegations that a tory mp committed a series of rapes as very serious as it's understood that sir jake berry, very serious as it's understood that sirjake berry, a former that sir jake berry, a former tory party chairman, told police that an internal failure to act on allegations of rape allowed an unnamed mp to continue to offend . offend. >> and prime minister rishi sunak says his party's complaints procedures are robust but has urged anyone with evidence of criminal acts to talk to police . talk to police. >> 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 i hope police investigation. so i hope you'll understand. it wouldn't be right for me to comment further on that specifically. more conservative more broadly, the conservative party a robust, independent party has a robust, independent complaints procedures in place, but i would say to anybody who has or evidence has information or evidence about any criminal act to, of course, talk to the police, that's the right course of action. >> british steel is to close down the blast furnaces at its scunthorpe plant, pushing up to 2000 jobs risk. they'll be 2000 jobs at risk. they'll be replaced by two electric arcs . replaced by two electric arcs. the chinese owned company says . the chinese owned company says. the chinese owned company says. the £1.25 billion project will make the firm a clean, green, sustainable business. this downing street says it has offered £300 million of investment for british steel to cut emissions. but labour says the plan would leave the uk unable to produce any primary steel products . this is gb news steel products. 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 over to . martin news now it's over to. martin >> thank you very much for that, tamsin. now the prime minister says the met police have the government's absolute and total backing to crack down on any trouble amid debate over pro—palestinian protests planned for armistice day this saturday at the weekend, however, sunak does not believe all demonstrations calling for a ceasefire in gaza are hate marches as . suggested by his marches as. suggested by his home secretary the ban the gathering. >> but others . but organisers >> but others. but organisers maintain that the demo will not take place on or near whitehall. what join me now is former british army officer henry bolton and a great friend of the show, henry . the organisers are show, henry. the organisers are saying they'll stay away. they're saying they won't be in the area until three hours after the area until three hours after the two minute silence is over . the two minute silence is over. the question is do we believe

them and is that a risk that's worth taking as well ? worth taking as well? >> no and no . martin thank you >> no and no. martin thank you for your kind words there. but the first thing is that choosing this day of all days cannot it cannot have escaped the attention and the knowledge of the people who've put it together that this is armistice day. and as such , i cannot day. and as such, i cannot believe and i don't think any right minded person can believe that they're not thinking of exploits it in some way. >> that's the first thing. >> that's the first thing. >> so, you know, no , we don't >> so, you know, no, we don't believe that. i don't believe that this is not connected. the second thing is , well, two days second thing is, well, two days ago, there were there was a gathering in trafalgar square. they notified the police that they were going to be in trafalgar square. >> but then a group moved down whitehall and another group moved to charing cross station . moved to charing cross station. so what we know there is that where they say they're going to stick to isn't necessarily the

case. and i think that should it go ahead. no, absolutely not. you know, it's all very well and good for sir mark rowley to say that he's going to crack down on any trouble. >> but the point is, we don't want any trouble that needs cracking down on. >> and you know, my take on all of these protests and i've seen two of them now myself, is quite simply that they are a call to resisting the israeli state. >> and amongst that sort of more general call is a call for eradication of the of the israeli state. >> and it there is very little actual expression of concern about civilian casualties. martin that's my observation . martin that's my observation. >> an and indeed, even if there was as it would be a new thing because in in previous conflict , because in in previous conflict, it's, for example, in in yemen , it's, for example, in in yemen, where the saudis have basically been responsible for two, 300,000 deaths. >> what's been going on in syria with assad killing muslims

within syria. you know, where were the complaints then ? were the complaints then? >> henry more than that, this is anti—israeli and it shouldn't. >> go ahead. >> go ahead. >> okay. henry part of the problem with that, of course, was twofold. first of all, people would say, well, we have freedom in the uk. freedom of assembly in the uk. we freedom speech. and we have freedom of speech. and also what if we can't even stop this march, for example , this march, for example, thousands of people are being bused in from places such as batley , us, batley, where the batley, us, batley, where the grammar school teacher is still in hiding, seems a bit rich for them to be dishing out moral advice to us down here in london, doesn't it? but what if, henry, if we get to henry, what if we get to a situation where there are simply more protesters than police? we've got a recipe for anarchy ? we've got a recipe for anarchy? >> well, you know, you raise an interesting point, but freedom of expression does not mean freedom to intimidate people and put the jews in this country in fear of their lives or their future. of speech does not future. fear of speech does not mean calling for jihad future. fear of speech does not mean calling forjihad or mean calling for jihad or violent resistance , freedom to violent resistance, freedom to assemble or protest does not

mean exploiting, disrupting our national events or defacing national events or defacing national monuments . and as for national monuments. and as for the what do we do if there are too many? well, frankly, at this late stage, then you've got your point is absolutely valid. i think this should have been banned a long time ago of ten days ago. it wasn't. there was all this sort of humming and hollering and nobody could make the decision to actually stop it. the other thing. martin now, i can't tell you that this is factually correct , but i've had factually correct, but i've had it from unconnected sources , it from two unconnected sources, is that the metropolitan police now only have 137 detention cells in london. now, you know, this would explain and of course, they're not making this pubuc course, they're not making this public because that's a shocking situation when you think you've got drunk drivers and you know, and all the rest that are and all the rest of it that are going arrested . but if going to be arrested. but if that's case, mark that's the case, sir mark rowley has problem . if he ends up has got a problem. if he ends up with than 137 prisoners, with more than 137 prisoners, where is he to put them where is he going to put them now? henry just henry, just to

interject , there are laws in interject, there are laws in place . place. >> you know perfectly well there could be implemented. we have a section 12 order, a section 14 of the public order act, which would prohibit people from going to proscribed areas. so why don't they just use the laws that are there close off whitehall, put a ring of steel around the cenotaph, a ring of steel around the churchill statue and other such sensitive areas. desecrates areas. anybody who desecrates thatis areas. anybody who desecrates that is immediately banged up. the law is there. have they got the guts to do that, though? that martin used the right word , that martin used the right word, the right expression. >> have got guts? no >> have they got the guts? no i don't think they have. if they had right they had the had the right if they had the guts, have dealt with guts, they'd have dealt with this sooner. have this a lot sooner. they'd have they'd spoken to the they'd have spoken to the organisers, their organisers, written them their horoscopes, horoscopes and made it very clear that there it very, very clear that there are certain types of protests that are acceptable and certain types and times they're not types and times when they're not there are the powers there. you're right. martin and i'm also former officer also a former police officer here. there are various public order powers as well. there are

plenty of powers. and it is disingenuous for. martin sir mark rowley, the chief or the commissioner of the metropolitan police , to say othennise. that's police, to say othennise. that's absolutely not correct . he's got absolutely not correct. he's got the powers, his police officers have got the powers. why don't they use them? why haven't they been using them? well, i think it is quite simply that he's the mayor of london is opposed to it. and sir mark rowley is to a certain extent has to defer to him. and they don't want a confrontation with the muslim community in this country. well, we know that appeasement does not work. the 1930 told us that. and in fact, there was something very similar going on in the 1930. the jews were being persecuted then the jews are being attacked now. and indeed , being attacked now. and indeed, they should feel safe on the streets of london. martin fine, you're all going all those people out there and including me, have got concerns about what's going on. you know, the civilian casualties in various parts of the world, just in parts of the world, not just in gaza, not bring your

gaza, but do not bring your conflicts to the streets of britain . and if there is any britain. and if there is any likelihood or any suggestion that would and there are that you would and there are plenty of those in this case, then the police and the home office act decisively then the police and the home offitsend act decisively then the police and the home offitsend a act decisively then the police and the home offitsend a very ct decisively then the police and the home offitsend a very clear, sively and send a very clear, unambiguous message as to who's in control. and at the moment i do not think there is anybody in this country who thinks that it is who are in control is the police who are in control of this. the police are responding as events responding sort of as events unfold rather than getting ahead of game. unfold rather than getting ahead of okay me. unfold rather than getting ahead of okay .1e. unfold rather than getting ahead of okay . henry bolton, punchy >> okay. henry bolton, a punchy start show . thanks for start to the show. thanks for joining here patrick joining us here on the patrick christys totally christys show. no, i totally agree. they've got days now agree. they've got five days now to head around this to get their head around this and to something it and to do something about it sharpish, because we cannot have scenes anarchy at the scenes of anarchy at the cenotaph on armistice day . it's cenotaph on armistice day. it's a sacred day, a sacred place . a sacred day, a sacred place. >> they need to get a grip and sharpish now moving on, some breaking because air breaking news now because air raid sirens have sounding raid sirens have been sounding as comes under as northern israel comes under a large rocket barrage from hezbollah in southern lebanon. >> it marks a large escalation in attacks from the iran backed group quite serious stuff there.

the last thing israel wants is a war on a second front to the north, hezbollah have about ten times the equipment and they are directly funded by iran . could directly funded by iran. could be nightmare . and be their worst nightmare. and this as former prime this comes as former prime minister boris johnson has urged israel's allies to never waver in support for the war in their support for the war against hamas in the an exclusive interview with our security adds a mock white, bofis security adds a mock white, boris shared his horror what boris shared his horror at what he when he told some of the he saw when he told some of the communities attacked by terrorists on the 7th of october. let's hear what boris 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 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 of the suffering of the people. and of course, there are lots of civilians caught up in this . the civilians caught up in this. the un are saying that israel might be guilty of war crimes. so you're concerned at all at the way in which israel is prosecuting the war? i think there's a 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. >> i've i've seen what israel is trying to do. it's of a moral it's a morally different category and a morally different category and a morally different category from what hamas did on october . the seventh palace october. the seventh palace state free palestine , but also state free palestine, but also the many tens of thousands,

hundreds of thousands , perhaps hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of people around the world who are cutting hamas so much slack , should look at so much slack, should look at what happened . and they should what happened. and they should realise that when they go on these marches and they shout 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 cry , crazed, racist, 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 weekend during armistice day and remembrance sunday. a lot of concern about what might happen and calls for that march to be prevented or 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 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 in favour of an anti semitic pogrom , which is what semitic pogrom, which is what they would be doing, is obscene . they would be doing, is obscene. >> strong words from boris. >> strong words from boris. >> now let's get some more on that breaking news with our security editor mike white, live in tel aviv. before we get in tel aviv. mark, before we get on to boris's words, a significant escalation of events , a rockets barrage, a large rocket barrage from lebanon to the north of israel. what's the latest update on that . latest update on that. >> well, that escalation has been undennay for a few days now, really since hassan nasrallah, the leader of the hezbollah terror group, spoke on

friday. that was an anticipated speech in which there were concerns that he might signal that hezbollah was going to enter into a full scale conflict with israel. he didn't do that. but he certainly did indicate an upfickin but he certainly did indicate an uptick in activity , and we've uptick in activity, and we've seen that ever since . the latest seen that ever since. the latest news out of northern israel is a barrage of rockets. now the israelis see that 30 rocket launchers have been targeting areas in northern israel on the coast just north of haifa , the coast just north of haifa, the port city there . now the hamas port city there. now the hamas al qassam brigade say that they launched 69 rockets. we don't know where the other ones have come from, whether that was hezbollah or not. but we know that hezbollah has been firing rockets, anti—tank missiles and other munitions over the border. and at israeli border posts , as

and at israeli border posts, as well as the israeli communities in the last couple of days. they vowed actually revenge on israel for a strike that took place yesterday evening in which a vehicle was apparently struck by by the israeli military in southern lebanon. and locals claim that a woman and her three children were killed in that particular strike. and in retaliation for that within ten minutes of that strike, like there was a rocket attack just south of kiryat shmona , the south of kiryat shmona, the largest community in northern israel , in largest community in northern israel, in which a civilian driving a truck was struck and he died. so some real concern in about the situation in martin in northern israel and about the potential for it really escalating out of control . escalating out of control. >> thanks for that update live from tel aviv. superb as ever . from tel aviv. superb as ever. now, just stop oil protests have been out and about obstructing

traffic near downing street and all up whitehall. the group has hit out at lies accusing them of targeting the cenotaph after dozens of protesters were arrested and after bringing traffic near downing street to a total standstill to protest protesters also smashed up the rokeby venus in the national gallery . the climate activists gallery. the climate activists call for actions , not words. call for actions, not words. this particular work, which was also slashed by suffragettes back in 1914. okay now you are watching and listening to gb news is coming up in just a moment. we'll be discussing our labour and starmer in chaos as 11 more councillors quit over the party's leader's stance on gaza. the party's leader's stance on gaza . all this and much more to gaza. all this and much more to bnng gaza. all this and much more to bring you in just a moment. i'm martin daubney, covering for patrick christys on gb news, britain's

mornings from 930 on, gb news. >> welcome back to the patrick christys show. it's 325. you're watching and listening to gb news with me standing for in patrick martin daubney bringing you all the latest news until 6:00pm. now burnley's council leader has resigned from the labour party over .sir keir starmer's stance on the israel—hamas conflict . but along israel—hamas conflict. but along with ten others who described their membership as untenable , their membership as untenable, afrasiyab anwar, a ten year veteran of the party, is the latest in a long line of labour figures who are piling pressure on their leader to call for a ceasefire in gaza. well, let's go live now to our political

correspondent olivia utley in westminster, olivia , for once westminster, olivia, for once again, labour's palestine problem bubbling to the surface and causing a nightmare for starmer . starmer. >> well, absolutely . this >> well, absolutely. this problem just isn't going away . problem just isn't going away. for keir starmer, 50 labour councillors have now resigned, including ten in the last few days. including ten in the last few days . now admittedly that's a days. now admittedly that's a fraction of the total number of labour councillors, which is about 6400. but but the fact that these councillors are resigning suggests that there is wide widespread disagreement with keir starmer , both within with keir starmer, both within the ranks of labour party members outside of the political setting and within the parliamentary party, and the real problem for keir starmer now is if that disquiet among councillors and of course among mayors we've seen andy berman and sadiq khan both overstep the official labour party line and call for a ceasefire . if that call for a ceasefire. if that spreads within the labour parliamentary party, then keir starmer could have a real, i

mean almost a threat to his leadership on his hands. so there are rumours that in the coming weeks there could be a vote, a meaningless vote, but a vote, a meaningless vote, but a vote nonetheless in parliament on whether this house believes that there should be a ceasefire in israel and gaza and that could show the extent of the rebellion among labour mps . at rebellion among labour mps. at the moment, keir starmer is on a pretty good job of keeping a lid on disquiet within the parliamentary party. there were rumours a week ago that we would see members see shadow cabinet members resigning . haven't that resigning. we haven't seen that yet, this tension is just yet, but this tension is just bubbung yet, but this tension is just bubbling away under the surface. and while these councillors continue to resign and while mps continue to resign and while mps continue to resign and while mps continue to come under pressure from their constituents to start calling for a ceasefire, that pressure all sort of trickles up. if you like, to keir starmer and puts him in a very difficult position. probably the biggest challenge faced to his challenge that he's faced to his leadership in the last 3 years. >> olivia how much of a problem will this be? there were some

analysis at the weekend in the times that it might cost the labour party seats, but it would unlikely cost power. unlikely to cost them power. and of course keir starmer, he of course keir starmer, what he sat on more fences than my cat . sat on more fences than my cat. once again, he's sort of trying to keep the muslim vote happy about 78% of british muslims vote for the labour party. do you think this will be a problem or it'll just be one that starmer just rides out and hopes goes away ? goes away? >> well , it's thought that there >> well, it's thought that there are about 30 seats in the country which are dependent on the muslim vote. now, obviously broad brush strokes here, but muslim voters tend to be sympathetic to the palestinian cause, whether sir keir starmer's stance on israel, which is, of course, that he is not calling for a ceasefire, he's calling for humanitarian pauses like the government, but he is not calling for a ceasefire. what that will do to those muslim voters in those 30 seats quite known . it's those muslim voters in those 30 sea'thoughtjuite known . it's those muslim voters in those 30 sea'thought that known . it's those muslim voters in those 30 sea'thought that they n . it's those muslim voters in those 30 sea'thought that they willt's those muslim voters in those 30 sea'thought that they will start not thought that they will start turning for tories, who turning out for the tories, who of the same line of course have the same line on israel but might israel and gaza. but they might end staying at home by

end up staying at home by current projections, keir starmer afford to lose starmer could afford to lose probably all 30 of those seats, but obviously that's not something that he wants to do. he majority he wants the biggest majority possible . that said, doesn't possible. that said, it doesn't look though he would lose all look as though he would lose all 30 of those seats in these seats, which tend to more seats, which tend to be more muslim. to be in more muslim. they tend to be in more urban areas. they tend to be very strong labour majorities. urban areas. they tend to be verevennng labour majorities. urban areas. they tend to be verevennng lelost' majorities. urban areas. they tend to be verevennng le lost anajorities. urban areas. they tend to be verevennng le lost a lot)rities. urban areas. they tend to be verevennng le lost a lot ofies. so even if he lost a lot of support in those specific target seats, he probably wouldn't lose them, which means that, you know, it's not a real threat to labour's prospects at the election , but it's still election, but it's still a problem for him if those mps in those seats feel pressure from their constituents to put that pressure onto keir starmer, show their own distaste in parliament and it puts keir starmer in a in and it puts keir starmer in a in a much weaker position against rishi sunak at the despatch box than he has been for the last couple of years. >> you know, olivia, one thing that puzzles me is, you know, apart from offending the muslim vote within the labour party, might starmer kind of tugging

his fall back to these kind of people affect labour votes within the red for wall example, at the weekend, we're seeing people all from labour seats such as batley, batley, where the grammar school teacher is still in hiding, are being bused into london to take part in the pro—palestine march . aren't pro—palestine march. aren't these the sort of people that starmer should be standing up to in that way , or is he completely in that way, or is he completely toothless now when it comes to trying control muslim trying trying to control muslim voters, muslim councillors or muslim mps and muslim ministers as well? >> i mean , there are those >> i mean, there are those within the labour party allies of keir starmer and british jews who say that actually keir starmer has taken a strong line on this, given the amount of muslim support for the labour party, he has been under huge pressure and you know, fundamentally he has held his line. last week, of course he made that speech talking about humanitarian aid, pauses and trying to sort of placate a little bit perhaps, and soothe the situation. but essentially he did stick to his line that

israel does have a right to defend itself. so i think there will be those who say that his response hasn't exactly been toothless, whether now he does begin to back down with this pressure from these labour councillors resigning with potentially vote this week in potentially a vote this week in parliament showing the extent of the disquiet among his own own mps, he does, then back down, mps, if he does, then back down, then yes, you could well be right. that might have a knock on effect on those red wall seats, which of course are really big battlegrounds for labour and the conservatives. >> okay, olivia leigh, thank you for that update westminster for that update from westminster there. you get lots more on that story and get story on our website and get this gbnews.com is the fastest this gb news.com is the fastest growing national news website in the entire country . it's got the the entire country. it's got the best analysis and opinion as well all the latest breaking well as all the latest breaking news. helping news. so thank you for helping it grow and grow. you're it to grow and grow. you're watching listening to gb watching and listening to gb news with me. martin daubney . news with me. martin daubney. coming government looks coming up, the government looks set north sea oil and set to award north sea oil and gas licences annually to attempt to encourage domestic energy supply security . we'll be supply and security. we'll be discussing that next. but first,

until 6 pm. now, the king's speech this week will announce that the government will award north gas licences north sea oil and gas licences annually to attempt to encourage domestic energy supply and security. the uk still relies on oil and gas for most of its energy needs and data published by the climate change committee shows that the uk will continue to rely on them to help meet its energy needs, even when the uk reaches net zero targets in 2050. well joining me now to discuss this is andrew montford , discuss this is andrew montford, the director of net zero. watch. good afternoon to you, andrew. seems sensible, isn't it? i mean, after all, we're importing a 19.6 billion quid's worth of gas last year. seems sensible to rev up our own production. does it? and to make it secure. >> yeah, i think it's a good idea in principle. >> the problem with it is that the tax regime in the north sea is now so adverse for operators there that it's not at all clear that anybody's actually going to take up the offer of these of

these licences. but yes, in principle we should be getting oil and gas locally rather than from from further , further away from from further, further away and yeah, we really should be getting it onshore as well as offshore if they were really serious about this . serious about this. >> and andrew, presumably this has been put into the king's speech to try and enshrine it and protect it, because it seems that sir keir starmer's position on north sea is to just stop oil i >> yeah, he's talking a good game at the moment, isn't he? but i think in reality the reality is that we have to have fossil fuels and as you said before , we're going to be using before, we're going to be using fossil fuels right out until 2050 or again , at least in 2050 or again, at least in theory. in fact , it's that theory. in fact, it's that relies on them getting carbon capture to work , which of capture to work, which of course, nobody has ever managed to do properly at before. so yeah, the plans are all up in

the air, but it's absolutely critical to have fossil fuels. so that we can we can we have some form of energy for when the wind isn't blowing the whole of uk energy policy from both parties is utterly shambolic. it is. it is leading us towards disaster and you know, these announcements from people like rishi sunak, you know, he talked about backing off evs and things and, you know, delaying the ban on evs and gas boilers for five years in it's sending out messages to two groups of voters that he wants to appeal to. but it isn't actually dealing with what is turning into a serious energy crisis for the uk it's a cost crisis and it's a national security crisis as well . we need security crisis as well. we need politicians to get serious about energy policy rather than just virtue signalling to the people they're trying to appeal to. >> now, andrew, of course,

critics of this measure will say it runs a coach and horses through our net zero targets. it's going to destroy the planet. but if we accept the fact that we are still depending point in large part on oil and gas for our electricity production, what would you say to those people? i mean, would you say it's eminently sensible to secure cheap oil domestically ? and what would you do about that, that unfavourable tax regime you mentioned ? what would regime you mentioned? what would a better picture and policy look like ? like? >> well, i think the in terms of the tax regime, they just need to reduce the level of taxes in the north sea to make it attractive for people to invest there. at the moment, it's not at all clear that that it is an attractive prospect for investors in terms of the people who say it runs a coach and horses through our net zero policy, well, our net zero policy, well, our net zero policy is irrational in the first place. so it's good if it does run a coach and horses through it. in reality, i'm not

sure it does. we will get you know, it's all it's saying is we will we will get more oil and gas the north sea and less gas from the north sea and less from qatar and north america. now that is actually, if anything, going to be a small reduction in carbon emissions because we're not going to be shipping those fuels. all those all those thousands of miles. so yeah, it's probably a positive thing if you're worried about emissions. but yeah , he it's in emissions. but yeah, he it's in reality it's a minor step that is not really going to address the energy crisis . the energy crisis. >> and andrew, some people may be astonished to learn that we import 50% of our gas. and the biggest country we import from is nonnay with 1.44 million metric tonnes a year. nonnay, of course, is basically the same oil field as the north sea oil field that we run. it's crazy that the same oil field is supplying 50% of imports to us. surely the answer is to ramp up domestic production, have energy

sovereignty and stop being reliant on expensive imports. yeah that's absolutely right. >> nonnay , of course, is a >> nonnay, of course, is a reliable supplier. you know , reliable supplier. you know, they're a friendly country and there should be no problems with them continuing to supply us. but there are major risks associated with imports . just a associated with imports. just a few days ago , a russian ship was few days ago, a russian ship was was hanging around a gas pipeline between europe and the uk. and as we saw the last year, you know, it's very easy for people to blow up gas pipelines . people to blow up gas pipelines. this is why any form of import is a national security risk . and is a national security risk. and as we are in an increasingly unstable world, we should be looking at safe forms of energy. now in the uk , we have gas now in the uk, we have gas onshore , which is pretty much as onshore, which is pretty much as safe as you can get. and we also have coal onshore. these are the

kind of things that we now need to be looking at very, very seriously indeed. the days when people people can tear their hair out and scream about it, about the weather in 2050 and global warming and all this sort of thing. those days really have to be put behind us because we're now in a very unstable world we need reliable world and we need reliable energy . if you look at somewhere energy. if you look at somewhere like germany, they have already moved quite far back towards fossil fuels. they are they are now concentrating much harder on coal. believe it or not. now that that is that is reliable for them because they can no longer rely on getting gas from russia , where we have the same russia, where we have the same problem . okay. we get it from problem. okay. we get it from nonnay. they're friendly , but nonnay. they're friendly, but that pipeline is awfully , that pipeline is awfully, awfully exposed to hostile powers. we should be looking again at fossil fuels from onshore uk . onshore uk. >> okay. andrew mumford, the director of net zero. watch. thank you for joining director of net zero. watch. thank you forjoining us on the thank you for joining us on the show today. superb stuff. you're watching and listening to gb

news up, i'll be speaking news coming up, i'll be speaking to tory veteran john redwood on whether jeremy hunt should be cutting i'm martin cutting taxes. i'm martin daubney on gb news standing in for christys and we are for patrick christys and we are britain's

michael portillo gb news britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> welcome back to the patrick christys show. i'm martin daubney. it's 345. moving on, chancellor jeremy daubney. it's 345. moving on, chancellorjeremy hunt daubney. it's 345. moving on, chancellor jeremy hunt is facing calls from his tory colleagues to finally cut taxes. this

follows a multi—billion pound improvement in the public finances since the budget back in march. it's been reported that the chancellor will have about £13 billion of fiscal headroom at this month's autumn statement, but highlighted the risk of fuelling inflation. charleton but do the tories have the next election in sight ? and the next election in sight? and if they don't make a tax cut, are they in trouble ? well, are they in trouble? well, joining me now is the conservative mp for wokingham, john redwood. a proper low tax tory john tremendous to see you. so presumably you're happy about this? we have the highest taxes since world war ii. tory voters would absolutely adore a tax cut. can we expect some good news? >> well, we need a tax cut. we needit >> well, we need a tax cut. we need it for the economy . if we need it for the economy. if we got taxes lower, we could get inflation down more quickly. we could take some of the taxes off expensive energy for example, which are part of the reason why inflation is so high. we could get a bit more growth and then

there would be more capacity and more offer of services, which would be extremely helpful. would also be extremely helpful. so i'm arguing the case based on sound economic principles . we sound economic principles. we could also reduce the rate of increase in public spending to make it even more affordable to have some tax cuts and john, what kinds of tax , if you were what kinds of tax, if you were able to pull the levers , would able to pull the levers, would you like to cut? >> there's been talks about inheritance tax , of course, vat , inheritance tax, of course, vat, particularly on fuel on alcohol. where would you like to see a tax cut? >> well, i would target it because i think the prime minister has got three right aims. so first of all, aim of getting inflation down more quickly. i would take the 5% vat off domestic fuel for the next year and i would take a similar 5% off the price of petrol and diesel at the pumps by cutting fuel duties. i would pay for that for the one year out of setting all those natwest bank shares that we still own. now interest are so high and interest rates are so high and they should be making lots of money. there would no

money. so there would be no extra and extra charge on the treasury and people would benefit from having a bit more spending money because their energy was cheapen because their energy was cheaper. then i think you've got to business them to go for business and let them expand think small expand and i think small business and the self—employed need a much better deal. so i would away the bad changes would sweep away the bad changes in 2017 2021, which lost us in 2017 and 2021, which lost us a lot of self—employed people . a lot of self—employed people. we have 800,000 self—employed, fewer than we were in february 2020 and quite a lot of that is some very aggressive tax changes. so sweep those away and then you'll have more people coming back into self—employment . and then i would up the vat threshold for small businesses , threshold for small businesses, 85,000 turnover limit before you have to pay . vat puts a lot of have to pay. vat puts a lot of businesses off. they close for a couple of months or they don't take on any more contracts. so that's a great pity. you could get big increase in output that's a great pity. you could get thoselcrease in output that's a great pity. you could get those businessesutput that's a great pity. you could get those businesses near the that's a great pity. you could get these businesses near the that's a great pity. you could get the margin|esses near the that's a great pity. you could get the margin there near the that's a great pity. you could get the margin there and' the near the margin there and avoiding all that papennork and putting their prices up to cover the extra vat. i'd also do something on business rates. so a series of measures that would

make it more worthwhile to work , make it more worthwhile to work, more worthwhile to grow your small business or to be self—employed and cheaper to buy your energy . and then you will your energy. and then you will be you'll be bringing inflation down and you'll be going for growth. >> well, sir john, i growth. >> well, sirjohn, i can i can hear gb news viewers throwing their hats in there in the air and saying, hurrah to all of that. but what would you say to the dumas viewers, perhaps even including hunt, your own including jeremy hunt, your own chancellor, that this will simply go simply drive inflation, it go rampantly out of control . rampantly out of control. >> well, i've just explained through you, and i hope he's listening that it would do the opposite. i mean , if you take opposite. i mean, if you take energy prices down, that actually speeds the fall in inflation and i'm doing it in a non inflationary way because i'm doing it out of all the extra tax revenues, they're now confessing. getting in, confessing. they're getting in, which in the current which aren't in the current budgets. by budgets. and i'm doing it by saying, sell all those saying, let's sell all those natwest shares to have one natwest shares to have a one off receipt for a one year receipt to pay for a one year temporary tax cut to really get that inflation nailed . i'm very

that inflation nailed. i'm very much in favour of getting inflation down more quickly , but inflation down more quickly, but some of the reason inflation is some of the reason inflation is so high is some of the so high is that some of the things gone up a lot are things have gone up a lot are also carrying vat and also carrying a lot of vat and other taxes that actually go up the more the price goes up. so the more the price goes up. so the treasury is helping rip us all off. >> and john, as i have you here, ihave >> and john, as i have you here, i have to ask you about brexit. kevin kemi badenoch today saying brexit, it's been great for the economy . we've seen exports economy. we've seen exports booming. would booming. you said that would happen didn't you ? happen all along, didn't you? >> well, i wasn't sure, but i knew it wasn't going to be the bad news of all those remain forecasts and we were right about that. remain said that practically everything would be worse practically everything worse and practically everything turned out to be better. they said fewer jobs. there were more they interest rates . they said higher interest rates. they lower they were actually lower interest a long interest rates for quite a long time. they said that our trade would slump. and as is would slump. and as kemi is rightly we've had rightly pointing out, we've had good export growth in the last few and they property few years and they said property pnces few years and they said property prices collapse and they prices would collapse and they went so they were wrong , went up. so they were wrong, wrong, the remain

wrong, wrong, wrong. the remain lot thank goodness were. lot, thank goodness they were. i wish cheer up. this wish they'd cheer up. this country a great future. we country has a great future. we now need to use some of the brexit freedoms and let's start by changing the vat and getting it a bit, because the it down a bit, because the reason we've got silly reason we've got these silly rules thresholds is rules on vat thresholds is because we're still running on the . the eu model. >> and john redwood >> and so john redwood tubthumping stuff always a pleasure and never a chore, although i do fear your optimism of helping the remainers to cheer up may be misplaced, but we can live in hope. thanks for joining us on gb news. okay, moving on now. donald trump has taken the stand to testify in his civil fraud trial. the former us president expressed his emotions moments before entering the courtroom . let's entering the courtroom. let's have a listen. you have a racist attorney general who made some terrible statements and we just see some more that came over the wires today. >> it's a very sad situation for our country. we shouldn't have this. this is for third world countries and very unfair. it's very unfair. but in the meantime, the people of the

country understand it. they see it and they don't like it. they don't like it because it's political warfare, as you would call it, or political warfare. another name that got a lot of names for it, but usually it takes place in third world countries and banana republics. nobody's ever seen that this extent. we've never seen it here. but we will go along and we will hopefully do very well in every regard. we will win the election and we'll make america great again . that's what we're great again. that's what we're going to do. we're going to make america great again. well joined now by reporter ray addison to talk about this. >> ray, he called it political warfare. he didn't look like he was happy to be there at all. know what's happening? he looks absolutely furious. and the footage that we've seen from inside courtroom well , he inside the courtroom as well, he just unhappy. but just looks very unhappy. but this is his chance to put his side of the story across directly to the judge rather than just tweeting on truth, social and x and so on. he's he's actually been giving

evidence now for new york state lawyer kevin wallace has been questioning him . and under questioning him. and under questioning, he has agreed that some of those financial estimate some of those financial estimate s of many of his properties were actually inaccurate . we know actually inaccurate. we know that the judge had already ruled that the judge had already ruled that some of those valuations were fraudulent. however, he's trying to mitigate the impact of it and he's saying that actually they weren't a very important element in the bank's decision making process . element in the bank's decision making process. he element in the bank's decision making process . he says he's making process. he says he's going to explain that a bit more as the trial goes on. and he actually described it as a crazy trial while while he was on the stand. and he's basically trying to mitigate how much of an impact inflating those valuations of his property empire actually actually had. and obviously how much that punishment should be mitigated by. okay. now he will call it political warfare. he would also say this designed to damage him, but it doesn't seem to be working, ray. in fact, every time up in court, it time he ends up in court, it seems political ratings go seems his political ratings go

up funding goes up. will up and his funding goes up. will any matter ? well, saw any of this matter? well, we saw the yesterday against joe the poll yesterday against joe biden, which showed that he was leading in six of seven key states. but then we saw those those figures today . a new poll those figures today. a new poll showing that if he actually gets convicted, not not of this trial, it's just a civil trial. but if he faces a criminal conviction, then he could lose 6% of his vote of his electorate . and that would put joe biden right back in the race. okay, ray addison, thank you. it's going to be one heck of a circus wherever you stand ahead of that next election, which a year next election, which is a year and a away. okay you're and a day away. okay you're watching listening gb and a day away. okay you're watchi plenty listening gb and a day away. okay you're watchi plenty more|ing gb and a day away. okay you're watchi plenty more to; gb and a day away. okay you're watchi plenty more to come3 and a day away. okay you're watchi plenty more to come and news. plenty more to come and bnng news. plenty more to come and bring you your next action packed of program. but packed two hours of program. but don't go anywhere. i'm martin packed two hours of program. but don't ion anywhere. i'm martin packed two hours of program. but don't ion gb where. i'm martin packed two hours of program. but don't ion gb news i'm martin packed two hours of program. but don't ion gb news standing.in packed two hours of program. but don't ion gb news standing in for dalby on gb news standing in for patrick christys. we are britain's news channel . hello britain's news channel. hello again . again. >> it's alex burkill here with your latest gb news weather forecast. there'll be further showers or longer spells of rain to come through the next few

fiscal windfall. that's a lot of money to find than the back of the sofa. can we find the expect a tax cut? and finally , harry, a tax cut? and finally, harry, the ginger ginger is set to snub the ginger ginger is set to snub the king's 75th birthday party. would he even be welcome . would he even be welcome. >> because this is your show. >> because this is your show. >> please get in touch with all your news and views. and that's gbviews@gbnews.com. especially on the armistice day protest should it be banned? should it go ahead? is it disgrace or should we have the right to protest all of that after your news with polly middlehurst . and news with polly middlehurst. and the top story from the gmb newsroom is that several un aid agencies have issued a joint statement regarding the lack of sufficient humanitarian aid in gaza, saying enough is enough. >> that comes as israel says

it's hit 450. >> hamas targets in the last 24 hours. >> they've been targeting tunnels. >> they say terrorists and military equipment. >> well, the hamas run health ministry in gaza says dozens of people have been killed in those strikes . and the aid agencies strikes. and the aid agencies joint statement calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. >> israel says, though , that >> israel says, though, that won't happen until the more than 240 hostages held by hamas are released . released. >> meanwhile, boris johnson is urging western leaders not to forget the extreme brutality and torture used by hamas in their attack on israel on the 7th of october. >> the former prime minister was speaking exclusively to gb news after touring some of the areas in israel devastate gutted by last month's attack. he says there needs to be a stop to what he's calling a crazy moral equivalence. look at what happened. >> remember , for this was sadism

>> remember, for this was sadism . this was an orgy of brutal city and torture . now there's a city and torture. now there's a difference between that and what the israeli soldiers are now trying to do in gaza . trying to do in gaza. >> well, the news here at home, environmental activist , just environmental activist, just stop oil have denied they targeted the cenotaph this morning after around 100 protesters were arrested . the protesters were arrested. the group says they were moved to the base of the monument by police after the force shut down traffic near downing street. meanwhile, two more activists smashed glass covering a precious artwork at the national gallery. the painting had been previously damaged over 100 years ago. in 1914, as part of a protest by the suffragettes as well. just stop oil protesters were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and those protests come after it was announced that licences for oil and gas projects in the north sea are to be awarded every

yean sea are to be awarded every year. the government says the move to be announced in the king's speech tomorrow will provide job security . for provide job security. for 200,000 workers and reduce britain's dependence on foreign energy . ministers say it'll also energy. ministers say it'll also help with the transition to net zero. now protests during remembrance events may be banned under plans being considered by the metropolitan police. scotland yard said it's going to use all powers and tactics to prevent any disruption , and prevent any disruption, and that's after the prime minister labelled plans for pro—palestine marches on remembrance sunday as provocative and disrespectful . provocative and disrespectful. now news away from home. donald trump is in court in new york as he battles a civil fraud trial that threatens his property . the that threatens his property. the former us president is accused of inflating the value of his properties by over £1.5 billion in order to secure favourable loan agreements. losing the trial could have catastrophic

financial consequences for his new york business empire. his two eldest sons have already testified , denying the testified, denying the accusations. but new york attorney general letitia james says the facts don't lie before he takes the stand. >> i am certain that he will engagein >> i am certain that he will engage in name calling and taunts and race baiting . and taunts and race baiting. and call this a witch hunt. but at the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the facts and the numbers and numbers. my friends don't lie . well, the friends don't lie. well, the prime minister has described allegations that a tory mp committed a series of rapes as very serious. >> it's understood that sir jake berry, a former tory party chairman, told police that an internal failure to act on allegations of rape allowed an unnamed mp to continue to offend. rishi sunak says his party's complaints procedures

are robust but has urged anyone with evidence of criminal acts to talk to the police . to talk to the police. >> 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 i hope police investigation. so i hope you'll understand. it wouldn't be right for me to comment further on that specific plea. more broadly, conservative more broadly, the conservative party robust independent party has robust independent complaints procedures in place, but i would say to anybody who has information or evidence about any criminal act to , of about any criminal act to, of course, talk the police. course, talk to the police. that's right course of that's the right course of action. >> rishi sunak, now british steel is to close the blast steel is to close down the blast furnaces at its scunthorpe plant , putting potentially 2000 jobs at risk . they'll be replaced by at risk. they'll be replaced by two electric arcs, which run on carbon neutral electricity. but require a lot fewer workers to operate. the chinese owned company says the £1.25 billion project that will make the firm a clean, green , sustainable

a clean, green, sustainable business. downing street says it has offered £300 million of investment for british steel to cut emissions, but labour says the plan would leave the uk unable to produce any primary steel products . steel products. that's the news. this is . this is. >> thank you very much, polly. now the prime minister says the metropolitan police have the government's absolute and total backing to crack down any backing to crack down on any trouble amid debate over a pro—palestinian protest planned for armistice day. and that's this saturday. however, sunak does not believe all demos calling for a ceasefire in gaza are hate marchers , as suggested are hate marchers, as suggested by his home secretary suella braverman. some are urging the police to ban the gathering, but organisers maintain that the demonstration will not take

place on or near whitehall or around the cenotaph . well, around the cenotaph. well, founder and director of the new culture forum, peter whittle, joins me now in the studio. hi, martin. hi, peter. so this is really, really got people going. now, we're only days away from armistice day. the two minute silence has already indicated it's going to be desecrated by some more militant activists . some more militant activists. the question is, can it be banned or is it simply too late to do that? >> i think that it's we're almost past that point, actually, now , martin, in the actually, now, martin, in the sense that i think a lot of people will turn up anyway, because might know that because you might know that germany and france banned marches and it didn't stop people marching right? >> these people, including many people supporting outright supporting terrorism in hamas , supporting terrorism in hamas, feel they've got the wind in their sails . their sails. >> and so i think that the idea that there would be any kind of decency or thought about remembrance sunday or indeed armistice day is absolutely out of the window, there won't be

because the organisers maintain i mean, they would do that. >> they won't go near it. it will be starting hours, three hours after the silence itself. the question is, do we believe them? and even if the organisers say that we can't control anybody and everybody within that no. that mob, no. >> the fact is i have no >> i mean, the fact is i have no faith in the authorities. >> i have no faith in the police . i don't see how anyone could have faith in the police after the way they behaved over the past is going past three weeks. this is going to continue. i think that the people who are on these marches largely don't even know what remembrance is about. >> and much less do they care. i care enormously what i would like to see. i hope that people wake up to what i think is actually a civilizational moment . it in many ways. and if there was one argument for this march to go ahead in its entirety , it to go ahead in its entirety, it would be so that people could actually see finally what these people are. >> you think if skirmishes or

worse were to break out, particularly around the cenotaph, around that moment and we saw that, by the way, on saturday, there were there were veterans and patriots on one side of the road at whitehall across from cenotaph across from the cenotaph and protesters shouting protesters goading and shouting and death threats to and issuing death threats to them. that were to happen them. if that were to happen dunng them. if that were to happen during the sacred moment that during the sacred moment at that sacred place and things did escalate . nobody wants that, escalate. nobody wants that, surely? no >> good lord, no. look, nobody wants it. >> but the fact is, people will have had this visited on them. nobody asks for this situation . nobody asks for this situation. >> two decades, no one has asked for a situation of mass immigration, of mass immigration from muslim countries. >> nobody has asked for that. they are now being made, if you like, to suffer the consequences of some of it . like, to suffer the consequences of some of it. and this makes me very, very angry. what i would say to people is, no , look, no say to people is, no, look, no one's wanting there to be civil disruption, but at the same time, i think what people could do is come out and support the

armistice and indeed wear their poppies with pride and do it peacefully and actively , but peacefully and actively, but perhaps in a way that they haven't before that actually to really sort of, you know, go to your memorial and your local memorial and basically be, you know, show respect for the for the fallen. i think that that is what people really could do. >> and totally peacefully, of course . course. >> have to ask you about >> i have to ask you about multiculturalism >> i have to ask you about mwe culturalism >> i have to ask you about mwe areuralism >> i have to ask you about mwe are having an integration if we are having an integration debate, surely the best way to show that multiculturalism is working and integration is healthy and possible is to observe of absolutely moments like this at places , things like like this at places, things like this that would be the best advert for it. but do you fear that that's not what some of these people want? they actually want deliberately stoke division at places like this , at times at places like this, at times like this specifically because they us. they know it hurts us. >> yes, think that, as i said, >> yes, i think that, as i said, the idea that somehow people can be brought together by things like remembrance day, even though, of course, they should be they should do is for the

birds. i don't think that that is going to happen anymore . and is going to happen anymore. and i think that basically the idea of integration even is simply impossible . well, when you have impossible. well, when you have the scale of immigration that we have , it's absolutely have, it's absolutely impossible. and i think that what we have now is a well, we've had a complete lack of political leadership. but when it comes to the government, when it comes to the government, when it comes to the government, when it comes to the police, total cowardice is, i would say, and also just not quite getting the extent of the problem. actually if we do see something unpleasant on saturday, how damaging do you think that will be to the fabric of british society? i think the damage is already being done. i mean, we've had people going, look , we've had people going, look, never forget this and people say this. this is just about palestine. when we had that terrible , brutal, just grotesque terrible, brutal, just grotesque attack on israel on the 7th of october, people were already

outside the israeli embassy before israel had even lifted a finger . that should tell you finger. that should tell you everything . they were already everything. they were already there. it is not just about palestine. this is pure anti semitism and in many cases support for well , we've heard it support for well, we've heard it support for well, we've heard it support for well, we've heard it support for hamas , a proscribed support for hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation. if you're going to go by the book, the police should not have let any of these things happen from the very start . the very start. >> and peter will. sobering stuff. thank you for joining >> and peter will. sobering stuff. thank you forjoining us stuff. thank you for joining us on gb news today. much, much appreciated . okay. moving on appreciated. okay. moving on now. northern israel has been targeted by hezbollah as they launch a large barrage of rocket attacks from southern lebanon . attacks from southern lebanon. this marks a continuation and escalation from the iran backed group. and this comes as 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, bofis security editor, mark white, boris shared his horror at what he saw when he told some of the

communities attacked by terrorists on the 7th of october. let's hear what boris 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 also happened for myself. but i also worry that it across the world, even in our country, the memory of that horror is fading . and of that horror is fading. and people don't understand quite how appalling hamas's 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 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 you

concerned at all at the way in which israel is prosecuting the war? >> i think there's a 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 . i've i've seen what forces. 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 from what hamas did on october. the seventh. palestine free palestine , but also the many palestine, but also the many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousand, 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, i think quite hate filled slogans against israel, they are actually giving their support to the kind of crazed racist ,

the kind of crazed racist, 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 weekend during armistice day and remembrance sunday. a lot of concern about what might happen and calls for that march to be prevented and to be banned. do you actually agree with that , that this these agree with that, that this these marches should not go ahead. >> they should remember that remembrance sunday. is there 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 do demonstrate in favour of an anti semitic pogrom , which is what they would be

doing, is obscene . doing, is obscene. >> well, a fantastic exclusive there from mark white, our security adviser with boris johnson. and mark joins us now live from tel aviv . mark, we live from tel aviv. mark, we just heard about an hour ago of an escalation in rockets barrages to the north from the lebanon . this follows hezbollah lebanon. this follows hezbollah leader on friday, hassan nasrallah , stopping short of all nasrallah, stopping short of all out war. but can you bring us up to date of the latest ramping up of escalations to the north? yeah >> well, the hamas group in southern lebanon, the al—qassam brigade, have claimed responsibility for launching those rockets . and this is the those rockets. and this is the furthest that any hamas rocket fired from southern lebanon has reached . they got all the way reached. they got all the way down to the northern outskirts of the port city of haifa . so of the port city of haifa. so a real concern for the israeli government, for the israeli military . they've been coming military. they've been coming under increasing attack from not

just hamas, but, of course, hezbollah . the much bigger hezbollah. the much bigger threat out in southern lebanon if they were to come into this conflict in a more meaningful way, it would give israel very significant problems indeed, because as they have access to 150,000 rockets, missiles and other munitions, they have many more trained fighters than hamas does. more trained fighters than hamas does . however, as you mentioned, does. however, as you mentioned, there , hassan nasrallah, in that there, hassan nasrallah, in that speech that was much anticipated on friday, did not see that at this stage anywhere hezbollah was to going enter into a full scale war with israel. but he made lots of his usual threats, lots of bellicose language and bile spilled towards israel and america. and really, when it's that kind of language , those that kind of language, those threats and of course, backed up by those rockets and missiles coming over at a rate of knots

into israel, there is every potential, martin, for this to escalate into a much more significant and worrying conflict . conflict. >> and, mark, on your exclusive chat with boris johnson, strong words, strong solidarity with the people of israel. i worry , the people of israel. i worry, even in the uk, that the memory of that horror is fading . how of that horror is fading. how have boris's words and sentiments been received by the israeli public, by the israeli media and by the politicians in israel . israel. >> really, i think they've gone down really well. politicians have really appreciated it. funnily enough, on our journey in down to do the interview with boris, the driver of the taxi we were in, you know, was asking as were in, you know, was asking as we were going and he said, are you going to off see boris? he said, it's great guy , great guy. said, it's great guy, great guy. a little bit crazy, but a great

9111’- a little bit crazy, but a great guy. so, you know , they know guy. so, you know, they know he's a character here as well . he's a character here as well. and i think they appreciate bofis and i think they appreciate boris as a statesman as well. because remember, of course , he because remember, of course, he was seen largely widely seen as leading that charge of the international community to show support for ukraine after russia's invasion. there so, you know, he is a big figure internationally as well . and his internationally as well. and his visit was appreciated . and i visit was appreciated. and i think from boris johnson's point of view, he just wanted to reiterate to people not to forget those events because they do fade a month on when the news cycle is showing all of the images, understandably , of the images, understandably, of the horrors that are unfolding inside gaza itself . but he wants inside gaza itself. but he wants people to be aware of why the israelis are prosecuting this war, the need for the israelis to defeat hamas , because they to defeat hamas, because they cannot have a terrorist state on

their doorstep. that is going to constantly launch these attacks if left to their own devices . if left to their own devices. and in fact, a senior hamas spokesman giving a news conference just this afternoon said exactly that, said that they will launch further . the they will launch further. the 7th of october style attacks , 7th of october style attacks, that they will not rest until they wipe israel off the face of they wipe israel off the face of the earth. >> okay. mark white, live from tel aviv, thank you for another excellent update. much appreciated . okay. you are appreciated. okay. you are watching and listening to gb news. coming up, chancellor jeremy hunt is being urged to cut taxes some backbench mps . cut taxes by some backbench mps. could they save the tories at the next general election? and he does. does he even have the headroom this ? we'll headroom to do this? we'll discuss this and much more in just tick. i'm patrick just a tick. i'm patrick christys . i'm ashley martin christys. i'm ashley martin daubney. transitioned i'm daubney. i've transitioned. i'm on britain's news

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930 . six till 930. >> welcome back. it's 4:25. you're watching or listening to gb news with me. martin daubney standing in for patrick christys bringing you all the latest news and views until 6 pm. now, chancellor jeremy and views until 6 pm. now, chancellorjeremy hunt and views until 6 pm. now, chancellor jeremy hunt is facing calls from his tory colleagues to cut taxes at long last. this follows a multi—billion pound improvement in the public budget since march. it's been reported the hunt will have £13 billion of fiscal headroom at this month's autumn statement, but he

highlighted the risk of fuelling inflation. so how will the tories cope at the next election if they don't cut taxes? well, joining me now is media campaign manager at the taxpayers alliance , conor holohan. hello alliance, conor holohan. hello to you, conor. so tory, voters out there and many of the public in general will be going hurrah , in general will be going hurrah, at long last, we have the highest taxes since world war ii. what took you so long? the big question is, do you think it will actually happen? well there's no doubt that it should happen. >> part of the reason we've seen this increase in headroom is because of the stealth taxes, the frozen thresholds which are eating up everybody's pay rises . eating up everybody's pay rises. and people have been struggling over the last couple of years andits over the last couple of years and it's about time there giveaway. >> absolutely . people are >> absolutely. people are getting hammered in inflation hammered with hammered in hammered with tax hammered in interest rates. they need some crumbs of comfort and electorally , the tories, the electorally, the tories, the party of low tax or at least they were sure do they have to do this to have even a sniff of

winning the next general election ? election? >> you're absolutely right. and i think i think voters will reward any party willing to ease the burden as it were. like you say, we're labouring under a 70 year high tax burden at the moment. and now jeremy hunt has twice the amount of fiscal headroom he thought he'd have back in as a result of back in march as a result of that, could use half of that, he could use just half of that, he could use just half of that to, for instance, cut the basic income tax one basic rate of income tax by one pence. would a huge pence. that would make a huge difference to people's lives and their ability to make ends meet. and should and do it well. >> conor, we had sirjohn >> conor, we had sir john redwood on show earlier, redwood on the show earlier, traditional tory. he was traditional low tax tory. he was saying vat to 5% on domestic saying cut vat to 5% on domestic fuel and cut vat on petrol and fuel. what kind of tax incentives do you think the british public would warm to? >> well, i mentioned the frozen thresholds and the income tax thresholds and the income tax thresholds are actually frozen by rishi sunak when he was chancellor >> and it means that when people are getting their pay rises, more and more of their pay is becoming and taxable at becoming taxable and taxable at higher rates as well. so what

we're lot we're actually seeing is a lot of paying levels of tax of people paying levels of tax which originally reserved which were originally reserved for the wealthiest few. so i think in terms of incentive incentivising sorry people into work incentivising people to work and incentivising people to go for that promotion and to work that bit harder, i think unfreeze those thresholds would be start . be a great place to start. >> now cornwall, of course, a lot people mongers lot of people that do mongers might just might say, well, this will just lead soaring inflation. it'll lead to soaring inflation. it'll be economic suicide to do so. what would you say to that? >> i think there's two key points on the on inflation. firstly, i mean, inflation is partly driven by massive amounts of government spending. so if we have excess have to choose by excess government between excess government between excess government spending giving government spending and giving people a well—deserved well earned, needed tax break, i earned, well needed tax break, i think we'll go for the latter. the is that as i've the other point is that as i've said, people are, as we all know, people are struggling with the living crisis. the cost of living crisis. they're heat their they're struggling to heat their homes, their homes, struggling to pay their food you people food bills. if you gave people an tax giveaway, they're an income tax giveaway, they're not to suddenly go not just going to suddenly go out splashing about out and be splashing it about town. going be paying town. they're going to be paying their bills. they're to

their bills. they're going to be paying their bills. they're going to be paying shops. paying for their food shops. they're do they're already having to do that. and help them do it. they're already having to do tha conor help them do it. they're already having to do tha conor holohanp them do it. they're already having to do tha conor holohan athem do it. they're already having to do tha conor holohan at the do it. >> conor holohan at the taxpayers alliance, thank you very much. think a lot of very much. and i think a lot of people hoping people will be hoping they do get a tax windfall ahead of the next election. moving on now, a cenotaph has lost cenotaph in rochdale has lost its wreaths and its poppy wreaths and palestinian flags were placed on the monument. this comes as tensions grow over pro—palestine protests on armistice day. video footage shows a man restoring the remembrance wreaths onto the war memorial and discarding the palestinian flags. well, let's get the latest on what's been going on there with our north—west. reporter sophie reapen north—west. reporter sophie reaper. sophie, what's the latest ? latest? >> well, you'll see the cenotaph here in rochdale just over my shoulder and our eagle eyed viewers will notice that currently there are no wreaths there. >> what's so ever obviously in the footage, as you say , we see the footage, as you say, we see that gentleman remove the palestinian flags of various sizes and replacing those poppy wreaths. now, rochdale borough council in a statement have

said, having looked into the circle stances, we can confirm that the wreaths blew over dunng that the wreaths blew over during the recent bad weather and have now been secured. the flags had been left by children who'd been taking photographs on the monument. the cenotaph and our other war. war memorials are incredibly important monuments. they should be respect by everyone and we are very proud of them and our strong links with our armed forces community, past and present . now, we have past and present. now, we have reached out to rochdale borough council to ask why there are currently no wreaths there on the cenotaph, but we haven't heard back yet, so we will have to wait and see exactly what they come back with on that. now of course, it's remembrance sunday this week. it's something that this cenotaph is just one of many up and down the nation where people will come on sunday for a silent moment of reflection and to remember our fallen veterans, as they said in the statement, both past and present . now, going on fonnard ,

present. now, going on fonnard, of course, we've seen these pro—palestine movements for the last month or so now, but this is something that is really going to hit home. of course, rochdale borough council saying that they were left there by children. i think this is children. but i think this is really rather close to the bone. and i'm sure people here in rochdale and in the wider community will want this perhaps investigated a little bit further to find out exactly what happened and where those wreaths are now . a re now. >> are now. >> yeah, sophie reaper thanks for that update . you're dead for that update. you're dead right. the best thing to do sharpish is to get those wreaths replaced, get them up . okay. you replaced, get them up. okay. you are watching and listening to gb news martin daubney news with me. martin daubney standing in patrick standing for in patrick christys. shortly . christys. we're very shortly. we'll those we'll be discussing those concerns ahead of those armistice day protests. should the protests be the pro—palestinian protests be banned? all of this to come and much in just a moment. but much more in just a moment. but first, here's your latest news headunes first, here's your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst . and the top stories this hour.

>> several un aid agencies have issued a joint statement released regarding the lack of humanitarian aid in gaza, saying enoughis humanitarian aid in gaza, saying enough is enough. they're calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. israel says, though, that won't happen until more than 240 hostages held by the terrorist group hamas are released here at home, environmental activists from just stop oil have denied they targeted the cenotaph this morning after around 100 protesters were arrested . the protesters were arrested. the group says they were moved to the base of the monument by police officers after they'd shut down traffic near downing street. meanwhile two more activists smashed the glass , activists smashed the glass, covering a precious artwork at the national gallery today. the painting had been previously damaged over 100 years ago. in 1914, as part of a protest by the suffragettes . just stop oil the suffragettes. just stop oil protesters were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in both locations . lions and in the

both locations. lions and in the united states . donald trump has united states. donald trump has been facing a civil fraud trial that threatens his property empire. the former president is accused of inflating the value of his properties . he left court of his properties. he left court a few moments ago, refused to talk to reporters, losing the case could mean significant financial consequences for his business empire. those are your latest news headlines. more on all those stories by heading to our website, gbnews.com . our website, gb news.com. >> and thank you very much, polly. welcome back. you're watching listening to gb news with me, martin daubney standing in for patrick christie is bringing you all the latest news and until 6 pm. so let's and views until 6 pm. so let's get some more now on our top story today, the prime minister says the metropolitan police have the government's absolute and backing to crack down and total backing to crack down on any trouble amid debates over

a pro—palestinian protest planned for armistice day. this saturday. some are urging the police to ban the gathering, but organisers maintain that the demo will not take place on or near whitehall or indeed at the cenotaph . well, former head of cenotaph. well, former head of royal protection died . davis royal protection died. davis joins me now . good afternoon to joins me now. good afternoon to you, di . this is something you, di. this is something that's getting a lot of people very hot under the collar, very, very hot under the collar, very, very concerned. a lot of calls to ban these protests. where do you stand on that? well as always in britain, we have a balance, but i totally agree with the prime minister that anybody demonstrating pro—hamas, anybody demonstrating pro— hamas, they anybody demonstrating pro—hamas, they should not be allowed anywhere near central london. >> as far as i'm concerned . and >> as far as i'm concerned. and i think the police commissioner should use his powers under section 12 and 14 and other powers to ensure that nobody but nobody disrupts the remembrance day services and those thousands that will turn up because

rightly , if they do, and there's rightly, if they do, and there's a clash, people will get hurt. and that's not something that should be tolerated in the united kingdom. anybody be saying anything in support of hamas as far as i'm concerned, they are a criminal organisation and the same way as isis, who would support isis, they behave in exactly the same way. so it beggars belief. there are so many in this country who support hamas. i can understand the concerns over the thousands who have died on both sides . that's have died on both sides. that's awful. but with great respect to those who support the issue of palestine, you're also , if you palestine, you're also, if you do this kind of demonstration in arguably some supporting hamas as well. so, no, it should be stopped, die. >> that sounds great in principle, doesn't it? but the fact of the matter is we have thousands of people arranging to go down to london from all over the uk, from places such as batley. yeah, batley where the grammar school teacher is still

in hiding. yet they're to going come to london and dish out moral advice. also from leicester and dewsbury. what do you think about the idea that there are simply too many people now plan to come? and in fact it's very likely there'll be more protesters than police. this is now too big to stop? >> well, i don't agree with the fact it's too big to stop what i would say capture the ground early and ensure geographically that you put your resources where they're needed and also give directions to the more responsible alleged those organising these matches to actually direct them as to where they can go and where they can peacefully , i.e. hyde park would peacefully, i.e. hyde park would be a good place , but i would be a good place, but i would protect those key areas by getting my officers there early. i would have reasonable resources and also ensure that those coming to and from wherever they are actually searched to ensure and stop where possible. if their motive

is to support hamas. >> and you talk about the legislation being there, you're absolutely right, section 12, section 14, can specific set out areas that are designated as no go areas , as would you like to go areas, as would you like to see whitehall itself ? the see whitehall itself? the approach to the cenotaph specifically ring fence it by a ring of steel of police officers, despite the fact that the protest organisers have said they won't go anywhere near that place . yes, at that time , but place. yes, at that time, but we've seen from events at the weekend and the previous marches, we can't control all of the mob, can we? specifically, where would you like to see protected and how? >> well, it's a good question. and again, geographically it is difficult, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility to actually have a circle in and around that area, one, to ensure that those who are legitimately there to mourn and grieve and to remember our fallen heroes are

to ensure as far as possible, those key areas where they're going to congregate and the key areas around the cenotaph and the approach is. so i say again to approach it, and i've always believed i was public order for most of my service capture the ground early, deploy your resources and ensure you have sufficient support to put in snatch squads to take out those who are advocates fighting the violence of hamas . i understand violence of hamas. i understand the right of people to protest. that's okay. but there is a time and place and memorial sunday, with great respect to anyone who thinks they can do it, is not the place, in my opinion , in and die. >> if the police softsoap this. if they don't do the kind of things you've just suggested . if things you've just suggested. if we get to a situation where we see unpleasantness , none of us see unpleasantness, none of us want that around around the cenotaph at this time on armistice day , how damaging do

armistice day, how damaging do you think that will be for the politicians, for the metropolitan police, and indeed for the fabric of the nation ? for the fabric of the nation? >> well, again, it's a good question and it's one that i've been pondering . and i was giving been pondering. and i was giving a lecture earlier today to a group of people, and they asked me the same very question. it is difficult in a democracy, but i think in a democracy, good manners count. and to actually articulate the pro—palestine pro hamas on this day , certainly as hamas on this day, certainly as far as i'm concerned , isn't very far as i'm concerned, isn't very british. yes they're allowed to demonstrate, but at a time and place which is suitable and can be policed , there has to be good be policed, there has to be good manners in society. sadly so many failed to observe that good manners maketh man or woman. as far as i'm concerned. but the police should come out strongly and i hope they do, and deploy whatever resources is necessary . whatever resources is necessary. london's police are well used to large demonstrations, nor really they do it through tact and good

humour. but there is a small minority who will use this as an excuse for violence. in my opinion , because they think that opinion, because they think that cause makes their cause, gives it more publicity . and of course it more publicity. and of course the media love it on occasion . the media love it on occasion. certainly some elements of the media do okay. >> di davis , former head of >> di davis, former head of royal protection, thank you for joining us on gb news and giving us your expert insight. brilliant stuff, moving on, just stop. oil protesters have been out and about obstructing traffic near downing street and all up whitehall, including near the cenotaph. the group has hit out at lies, accusing them of targeting the cenotaph directly after dozens of protesters were arrested after bringing traffic near downing street to a halt. protesters also smashed up the rokeby venus in the national gallery. the climate activists calling for action, not words. this particular work was also slashed by the suffragettes back in 1914. we get lots more on

passion that the owner, harold, has spent a third of his life dedicated to. he's been helping second world war veterans return to places 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 are now all veterans. the cafe and d—day museum has raised more than £1 million for trips since 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 . it's our duty 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 ,

years since the d—day landings, and 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 to simon help today's job getting the floodlights to work. the cut, the cable inside this insert. >> so we need to take these inserts out . inserts out. >> simon served in two five field regiment, royal artillery . field regiment, royal artillery. he lost friends while stationed 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 is hoping that he can help a few more before the generation is lost. >> i've always told people over the years when i took them back, they always 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 home. 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. >> wonderful stuff. harold payne is simon hughes, the very best of british. now, prince harry has rejected the king's invite for his 75th birthday. the duke of sussex doesn't plan on attending amid his ongoing feud with the royal family the monarch's party takes place next week at clarence house, and it isn't the first invitation from king charles that harry's rejected . well, joining me now rejected. well, joining me now is royal commentator , the legend is royal commentator, the legend thatis is royal commentator, the legend that is michael cole. michael it's always an absolute pleasure to have you on, gb news. and here we are again talking about prince harry. but to snub the king's 75th birthday day. so soon after his coronation would be an absolute travesty, would it not? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> good afternoon, martin. yeah. nine days to the king's 75th

birthday. a small party is planned. a family party at clarence house. as you say . um, clarence house. as you say. um, it would really be surprising had prince harry decided to accept his father's invitation . accept his father's invitation. an he would, i think, have been the spectre at the feast . and of the spectre at the feast. and of course, as his father, the king had to invite him. but it's been noted certainly by me that recently the king has made a point of talking about his beloved daughter in law , kate. beloved daughter in law, kate. of course, princess of wales. and you don't need me to tell you that, kate and meghan, the duchess of sussex, don't get on too well. and when any women fall out , they tend to fall out fall out, they tend to fall out for quite a long time. and i'm sure that still applies to royal ladies as well . all so i think ladies as well. all so i think it would have been a surprise had he come and because in the

royal family he doesn't have many friends because he and his wife have made some very cruel and unkind criticisms of other members of the royal family, the king himself, of course, but prince william and his wife kate and most men can put up with insults aimed at themselves . and insults aimed at themselves. and my goodness, i've been insulted by experts. but and managed to get over it. but but what? men really don't like is having their wives insulted . and i their wives insulted. and i think it would have been very, very difficult. and i think it's going to take a long time for forgiveness to be given . i would forgiveness to be given. i would say never say never, but a great deal of work has got to be done. fences have got to be mended before the california two can make anything like a decent re—entry to royal life in this country . country. >> and michael, a great many people out there watching this will no doubt themselves empathise with the fact, no, you

have to invite people to parties who you don't really want to turn up and actually, they'll probably quite relieved when he turned them down because actually what would have happened the headlines happened is all of the headlines would about harry and would have been about harry and meghan. paparazzi meghan. all the paparazzi would have poked their noses in. have been poked their noses in. do you think actually , the do you think actually, the royals are relieved that royals are quite relieved that they will be persona non grata and not turning up? >> i suppose you're right. i'm sure at every wedding, every family wedding there, there's the terrible uncle you don't want to turn up in case he does. what does what he did last time. yeah, it's. it's a difficult thing . of course, the king loves thing. of course, the king loves his son. he is his. his son. but it's going to be very, very difficult because gratuitous things. unnecessary ugly things were said. and they can't be unsaid in a six part television series, which we all saw, or some of us were lucky enough to miss. and in his book spare, published lastjanuary , miss. and in his book spare, published last january , the published last january, the prince harry and his goes out of

his way to be unkind . and there his way to be unkind. and there was a whole litany of complaints he had. there he is when he came back for a legal action against newspaper owners for their attacks upon him. it's a very difficult thing , particularly difficult thing, particularly when brothers fall out. i think there's very few things worse in there's very few things worse in the world than seeing brothers fighting. but i think prince william has taken it rather hard that his brother has turned against him so, so, so unkind , against him so, so, so unkind, sadly, because they were very, very close. and the only person who would be even more upset than prince william and the king are , of course, the late and are, of course, the late and much loved and much missed diana. princess of wales, who always felt that her sons would be there for each other forever and a day. and the fact that thatis and a day. and the fact that that is not true is a lasting shame. and one has to ask why?

why has it happened ? and who is why has it happened? and who is responsible ? responsible? >> and michael, briefly , if we >> and michael, briefly, if we could, do you think there's any way back for harry into the royal fold or is this terminal ? royal fold or is this terminal? >> no, it's always possible . but >> no, it's always possible. but a great deal of humble pie and some many, many, many abject apologies will need to be made and there'll be need to be made by the california to wards the people they've offended and offended quite gratuitously . offended quite gratuitously. there was no need to do any of this , but they went and did it. this, but they went and did it. and of course, when you do something, every action has a as a reaction, every consequence is going to be met by reality . so going to be met by reality. so i hope that there will be a reconciliation, but i cannot see one any time soon. okay. >> okay. michael cole, we have to leave it there. thank you, as even to leave it there. thank you, as ever. coming up, we'll continue our coverage ahead of armistice day where concerns are growing over pro—palestine over those pro — palestine protests. over those pro—palestine protests. i'm martin daubney standing in for patrick christys

on gb news. and we are britain's news channel. hello again. >> it's alex burkill here with your latest gb news weather forecast . there'll be further forecast. there'll be further showers or longer spells of rain to come through the next few days, but eastern parts will always dry because the always be dry because at the moment there's low pressure over north—west it's north—west scotland and it's around this low that we're bringing our winds. so they're coming from west and coming from the west and northwest, why it's northwest, which is why it's western which always western areas which are always going heaviest, most going to see the heaviest, most frequent see some frequent showers could see some rumbles of thunder as we go through evening through this evening and overnight, driest towards overnight, always driest towards the east, clear skies likely here across parts of north—east scotland could see some mist and fog patches developing, perhaps even some frost as even even some frost as well. even elsewhere , it's likely to be a elsewhere, it's likely to be a relatively chilly night. temperatures and cities temperatures in towns and cities mid colder mid single figures and colder than that in more rural spots. as we go through tuesday. and again, see most frequent again, we see most frequent showers across western areas. some some thunder possible some hail, some thunder possible , some heavier bursts likely across eastern areas. it is going to be drier and sunnier, but some showers will feed their

way further eastwards as we go through day, of us will through the day, all of us will see some sunshine at times in between but between the showers, but temperatures a temperatures likely to be a little today for little bit lower than today for many with highs of around 13, possibly 14 celsius. a spell of wet and windy weather is then going to sweep through as go going to sweep through as we go through tuesday night into wednesday. so a wet start for many, clear many, but that rain will clear away the east through away towards the east through the and showers the morning and then showers likely to follow behind likely to follow in behind further showers to come as we go through into thursday . still through into thursday. still some for friday, some showers likely for friday, but it is looking like it will

by welcome back to the patrick christys show with me, marty daubney. >> it's 5 pm. coming up on our next action packed hour. first of all, armistice day protest concerns as the palestinian mob go to london on the 11th of the 11th. should they be stopped? should they go ahead ? should should they go ahead? should they be banned? is it too late to even do that? also, another major crisis for starmer as his palestine problem. once again comes back to haunt him. 11 over 11 extra labour councillors have quit now taking that total to 50 and after that just stop oil have targeted whitehall. they tried to completely block downing street, causing chaos. there the police moved in and arrested them and bound them and put them on the floor near the cenotaph. and finally amstell damm is banning brits there

crying stop 22% down because they think we're too rowdy . they think we're too rowdy. and apologies for my terrible dutch accent there. anyway. get in touch all the usual ways with your views . vaiews@gbnews.com. your views. vaiews@gbnews.com. but first, here's your news headunes but first, here's your news headlines with polly middlehurst . martin thank you and good evening to you. >> well, the top story from the newsroom today is that several un agencies have issued a joint statement regarding the lack of sufficient humanitarian aid in gaza , saying enough is enough . gaza, saying enough is enough. if that comes as israel says it's hit 450 hamas targets in the last 24 hours, targeting tunnels, they say terrorists and military equipment. tunnels, they say terrorists and military equipment . the tunnels, they say terrorists and military equipment. the hamas

run health ministry in gaza saying dozens of people have been killed in those strikes. the aid agency's joint statement calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. israel says that won't happen, though, until the more than 250 hostages being held by hamas are released . now news here at home, environmental activist just stop oil have denied they targeted the cenotaph this morning after around 100 protesters were arrested . the group says they arrested. the group says they were moved to the base of the monument by police themselves after they had been shut down following traffic near downing street. meanwhile, two more activists smashed the glass , activists smashed the glass, covering a precious artwork at the national gallery today . the the national gallery today. the painting had been previously damaged over 100 years ago. in 1914, as part of a protest by suffragettes . well, just stop suffragettes. well, just stop oil protesters were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage at both locations . ian's and those both locations. ian's and those

protests come after it was announced that licences for oil and gas projects in the north sea are to be awarded every yean sea are to be awarded every year. the government says the move, which will be announced in the king's speech tomorrow, will provide job security for 200,000 workers and reduce britain's dependence on foreign energy imports. ministers say it will also help with the transition to net zero laws designed to provide a minimum level of cover dunng provide a minimum level of cover during strikes have been extended now to ambulance staff , extended now to ambulance staff, rail workers and border force employees, train staff will be forced to operate 40% of their normal timetable , all while normal timetable, all while border security officers will have to keep all airports open dunng have to keep all airports open during strikes. this would bring the uk in line with countries like france, italy and spain . like france, italy and spain. the minimum service level act passed earlier this year, but has faced criticism from trade unions who say it threatens the right to strike. protest during

remembrance remembrance day are to be banned under plans being considered by the metropolitan police. scotland yard says it's going to use all its powers and tactics to prevent any disruption . that's after the disruption. that's after the prime minister labelled plans for pro—palestine protest on remembrance sunday as provocative and disrespect . provocative and disrespect. artful dodger donald trump has been facing a civil fraud trial that threatens his property empire. the former us president is accused of inflating the value of his properties by over £1.5 billion to secure favourable loan terms. he's gestured that his lips were zipped as he passed reporters on his way out of court , indicating his way out of court, indicating he wasn't going to say anything . he wasn't going to say anything. losing the case could mean signify financial consequences for his business empire. donald trump described the court case earlier as a witch hunt . earlier as a witch hunt. >> it's a very unfair situation . >> it's a very unfair situation. this is really election interference. that's all it is.

this trial is ridiculous. the numbers are much greater than on the financial statement . we've the financial statement. we've already proven that it's a very sad situation for our country . sad situation for our country. we shouldn't have this. this is for third world countries. and, you know, very unfair. it's very unfair. but in the meantime, the people of the country understand it. they see it and they don't like it . like it. >> well, here at home, the prime minister has described allegations that a tory mp committed a series of rapes as 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 , told police tory party chairman, told 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 procedure are robust . british steel is set to robust. british steel is set to close down blast furnaces at its scunthorpe plant, putting 2000 jobs at risk . they're going to jobs at risk. they're going to be replaced by two electric arcs, which run on carbon neutral electricity but do require fewer workers to

operate. the chinese owned company says the £1.25 billion project will make the firm a clean, green, sustainable business. downing street says it has offered £300 million of investment for british steel to cut their emissions. labour says the plan would leave the uk unable to produce any primary steel products . that's the news steel products. that's the news this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. this is britain's news channel . and britain's news channel. and thank you, polly. >> now the prime minister says the metropolitan police have the government's absolute and total backing to crack down on any trouble amid debate over a pro—palestinian protest planned for armistice day, which of course is this saturday. however, sunak does not believe that all demos calling for a ceasefire in gaza are hate marchers, as suggested by his

home secretary, suella braverman . some are urging the police to ban the gathering, but organisers maintain that the demo will not take place on or near whitehall. and of course at the cenotaph i'm joined now by political commentator matthew stadlen for his take on this. good afternoon to you, matthew . good afternoon to you, matthew. always a pleasure to have you on the show . rishi has called these the show. rishi has called these marches provocative and disrespectful. braverman disrespectful. suella braverman has called them hate marchers . has called them hate marchers. many are calling for them to be banned altogether. what's your take? >> well , i've got various takes, >> well, i've got various takes, martin, but the first is i think the prime minister is right to distance himself at least a little bit from what is out of control. home secretary has said he's not, in my view, hates marches as in their ovennhelming majority . i'll give you marches as in their ovennhelming majority. i'll give you an example. a very close jewish friend of mine, i'm jewish myself, he went on the march on saturday and he saw no hate filled banners . that doesn't filled banners. that doesn't mean to say that there isn't some hate on these marches . and

some hate on these marches. and wherever people are protesting , wherever people are protesting, outside of the law of the land and the police should clamp down hard. i'm wearing my poppy , as hard. i'm wearing my poppy, as you can see, and i'll be honounng you can see, and i'll be honouring the two minute silence with my family on saturday. relatives of mine put their lives on on the line for this country and also for our freedoms. and one of the fundamental freedoms that we're lucky enough to enjoy in britain is the freedom to protest peacefully, to protest within the law. and i don't want a government or a police force suddenly turning up and saying, i'm sorry, may not i'm terribly sorry, you may not agree the march . you might agree with the march. you might not even like the tone of some of marches. and therefore, of the marches. and therefore, we're ban banning of the marches. and therefore, we'reof ban banning of the marches. and therefore, we'reofthousands1 banning of the marches. and therefore, we'reof thousands of banning of the marches. and therefore, we'reof thousands of people1g of the marches. and therefore, we'reof thousands of people from tens of thousands of people from marching london this saturday marching in london this saturday would not be the way fonnard, and it wouldn't represent the way in which our relatives fought for our freedoms . fought for our freedoms. >> okay, matthew. but those freedoms have responsibility, too. and it's fair to point out that the marchers organisers say that the marchers organisers say that they will not disrespect the silence. they will not go

near the cenotaph. but as we saw this matthew , a mob , a this weekend, matthew, a mob, a rabble turned up at that precise location and were issuing death threats over the way two british patriots and veterans over there. if that kind of thing were to happen at this sacred time, at that sacred place, it would be an absolute aberration. so surely with that in mind, the safest course of action is to stop people getting near that area at all. >> well , the police i don't know >> well, the police i don't know what they've got in mind operationally and absolutely. the cenotaph needs to be protected. it would be utterly disgraceful if that was defiled in any way at all. we've seen it happen before in the past. and the police have got to be on their guard. of course they do . their guard. of course they do. listen, i'm not going to be going on this march. there are all sorts of reasons for that. one of the reasons i won't be going on this march is because i will be focusing on remembering our own war dead. but there are ,

our own war dead. but there are, let's remember, thousands of people were led to believe dying in gaza. we had the atrocities carried out by the mediaeval butchers of hamas in israel on the 7th of october. there are a lot of children dying . children lot of children dying. children have died in israel. some of them, we believe, are still held captive by the monsters of hamas and thousands of children. it seems , are dying in gaza and seems, are dying in gaza and that death isn't going to stop because tens of millions of us in this country are quite rightly going to be remembering those who died in the name of freedom . so i'll be honouring freedom. so i'll be honouring that this weekend . but i still that this weekend. but i still insist that people should be free protest within the law. free to protest within the law. >> but matthew, we hear a lot about diversity as our strength, particularly from london mayor sadiq khan. it clearly has not been the case. we've seen a huge increase in anti—semitic crimes since october 7th, something like a 650% increase. and yet sadiq khan has been tweeting about beavers and wildlife being reintroduced in to london. i'll

put it to you again that with the risk even slight of this moment , this place being moment, this place being desecrated , we really need to be desecrated, we really need to be putting into place a tough section 12 or section 14 orders within established law to keep protesters away from this area, justin protesters away from this area, just in case any trouble breaks out altogether. because if it did , michael, that would be did, michael, that would be hugely damaging for cultural relationships in this country . relationships in this country. >> well, operating nationally, the police have a very serious and heavy responsibility to make sure that the cenotaph , which is sure that the cenotaph, which is almost a sort of secular, sacred landmark in this country to us, is not necessary eerily religious, but it is as close as you can get with in secular in the secular world to something thatis the secular world to something that is sacred. so, of course, that is sacred. so, of course, that has to be protected. but this idea that diversity might not be our strength, what does that mean? let's follow that through. does that mean that

someone like me who jewish someone like me who is jewish should kicked out of this should be kicked out of this country? does that that country? does that mean that millions of muslims should be kicked country when kicked out of this country when we those sorts phrases? we use those sorts of phrases? the that diversity might we use those sorts of phrases? the be that diversity might we use those sorts of phrases? the be asthat diversity might we use those sorts of phrases? the be as strength, sity might we use those sorts of phrases? the be as strength, let's1ight we use those sorts of phrases? the be as strength, let's follow not be as strength, let's follow it through to its conclusion . it through to its conclusion. and i think this is divisive and i think there's been a lot of hate whipped both sides of hate whipped up on both sides of this debate about the march . the this debate about the march. the far right are out on social media and in person as well. and of course, we've got some islamofascists causing trouble, too. this is a time to bring people together. i am someone whose grandpa parents were refugees from hitler . they were refugees from hitler. they were welcomed into this country . and welcomed into this country. and i stand for moderation . i don't i stand for moderation. i don't look at israel from a jewish perspective. i look at what's going on in israel and gaza as a human being. and that's why i've called for israel to behave within international law. but i've also said that hamas are a bunch of mediaeval savages . bunch of mediaeval savages. >> okay. matthew stadler , a >> okay. matthew stadler, a balanced, passionate , full and

balanced, passionate, full and fair debate . thank you very much fair debate. thank you very much for joining us. appreciate it. okay. now to the ongoing war between israel and hamas . in the between israel and hamas. in the last couple of hours, communities in northern israel have been under fire from hamas in southern lebanon . former in southern lebanon. 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, bofis security editor, mark white, boris shared his horror at what he saw when he toured some of those communities attacked by terrorists on the 7th of october. let's see what boris had to say to mark white. 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 memory of that horror is fading. and people don't understand quite

how appalling hamas's crimes were . and we need to focus on were. and we need to focus on that because we've got to stop this crazy moral equivalence between on 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 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 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 on october the seventh. palestine free

palestine , but also the many palestine, but also the many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands , perhaps even millions 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, i think quite hate filled slogans against israel, they are actually giving their support to the kind of crazed racist , the kind of crazed racist, 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 . and during head out next week. and 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 actually agree with that, that this these marches should not go ahead? they should remember that

remembrance sunday. >> is there are very largely to commemorate the many, many people in our country , but also people in our country, but also across the commonwealth who fought against and fascism . and fought against and fascism. and i think for them to go out and demonstrate in favour of an anti—semitic pogrom , which is anti—semitic pogrom, which is what they would be doing , is what they would be doing, is obscene . okay obscene. okay >> an excellent exclusive there with mark white, our security editor, who joins us now live from tel aviv. mark, before we reflect upon your talk with bofis reflect upon your talk with boris johnson, can you bring us up to speed on a concerning developments out to the lebanese border in the north? we heard on friday from the hezbollah leader, nasrallah , leader, hassan nasrallah, stopping short of all out war. but we understand there's been an escalation in the rocket attacks into israel . do we know

attacks into israel. do we know who's responsible for that and how substantial is this attack , mark? >> yeah, there's been a real upfickin >> yeah, there's been a real uptick in the activity across that border from southern lebanon in the last few days since hassan nasrallah's speech in which he did indicate an escalation in, if not a full scale war with israel . and we scale war with israel. and we know that a lot of the missiles and other munitions coming across the border there have been from hezbollah , which is an been from hezbollah, which is an altogether more powerful terrorist organisation , action terrorist organisation, action than hamas, if it was to enter the war in a significant way, it would give israel some real problems on its northern border. it has a 150,000 missiles, rockets and other munitions in its arsenal and indeed , along its arsenal and indeed, along with hezbollah in the north is hamas and other groups and hamas in southern lebanon responsible . in southern lebanon responsible. we're told the al—qassam brigade

has claimed response ability for launching a huge rocket attack on community. his coastal communities in northern israel right down to the northern outskirts of the port city of haifa. that is the furthest east that a hamas rocket has reached from southern lebanon. a real concern . and as i say, israel is concern. and as i say, israel is enforcing that northern border with tens of thousands of troops are striking back whenever they see targets and munitions launched in their direction. all of the while , martin, there is of the while, martin, there is the prospect effect and the possibility of an escalation . possibility of an escalation. i'm exclusive with boris johnson. >> he spoke very passionately about the orgy of brutality in violence conducted by hamas on october the 7th. and he said, i worry even in the uk that the memory of that et horror is

fading . i also spoke very fading. i also spoke very passionately about we must remember that remembrance is about britain and the commonwealth fighting against fascism . and commonwealth fighting against fascism .and how commonwealth fighting against fascism . and how have those fascism. and how have those words and those sentiments been received in israel by the public, by the media and by politicians as they've gone down very well indeed. >> he has seen as quite an ebullient figure over here as well . popular. and they look well. popular. and they look upon him as a statesman through his role as prime minister in the uk and leading that international charge for support for ukraine after they were invaded by russia. so i think his intervention is absolutely welcomed by people here in israel who do want the international community to remember the events of the 7th of october under standing, of course , that the news cycle course, that the news cycle means that the images that people are seeing at the moment

are the images of the strikes in gaza targeting hamas. but of course, because it's urban warfare, because hamas uses civilians as human shields in these built up areas , then there these built up areas, then there is a very significant a toll on the civilian population as well. we've seen today, again , an we've seen today, again, an intervention by the un. in fact, all of the un agencies coming together for with one voice to call for a ceasefire now as yet that israel's allies are not calling for a ceasefire. they are calling for humanitarian pauses as and they say. anthony blinken, at least the secretary of state in the us who's been on this this we're just getting rocket alert through. this is the this is another rocket attack that is actually targeting a community in the north. i'm just going to hold up this app. this is the app that

alerts us to these attacks . you alerts us to these attacks. you can see this community. where are we again ? north of haifa. can see this community. where are we again ? north of haifa . a are we again? north of haifa. a rocket attack may well be hamas, but it could easily be hezbollah as well. so they're just continuing to get these munitions martin. coming over the border from southern israel . the border from southern israel. and the worry is that the more this happens, a civilian was killed yesterday in northern israel, 3 or 4 civilians were killed in southern lebanon yesterday. it just has the potential to get very messy indeed up there in the north. >> mark, as somebody on the ground, in fact, we saw a couple of days when i spoke to you a direct rocket attack appeared to be on your position , which you be on your position, which you intimated was hamas targeting the media. those those alerts you're getting there, mark, on your phone, are they becoming more regular? are you sensing an upfickin more regular? are you sensing an

uptick in hamas brutality . uptick in hamas brutality. >> well, there are some days when there are lots of rocket alerts and some days there are a bit quieter. i shouldn't tempt fate . but as yet, so far in tel fate. but as yet, so far in tel aviv today, we haven't had the twice. sometimes three times daily rocket attacks that we get over here. so nothing is yet, but it normally happens . you but it normally happens. you know, usually get an attack dunng know, usually get an attack during the day and there are definitely attacks that come in in the evenings here in tel aviv . but, yes, you were alluding to that rocket attack down in sderot where we were with other members of the media overlooking the northern gaza area. and i think, yeah, the media were targeted because there aukus been largely evacuated and was not subject to hamas rocket attacks in recent weeks. but because the media have started going there and congregating on

this hill overlooking gaza , it's this hill overlooking gaza, it's become a target in the last few days , actually, rockets have days, actually, rockets have been fired into that location as well. we were very, very lucky. we ran towards the shelter. i didn't quite make it to the shelter. and the rocket impacted very close to our position. we managed somehow to avoid being sprayed with the shrapnel that was embedded in the buildings and the cars all around. it was , and the cars all around. it was, you know, a pretty hairy experience for a while. it gives you a bit of an understanding as to what the people of israel have to put up with on a daily basis. this psychological terror from hamas . from hamas. >> okay, mark white, thank you for that comprehensive update live from tel aviv for gb news. appreciate it. you're watching and listening to gb news. coming up in just a moment, we'll be discussing our labour and starmer in chaos as 11 more councillors quit over their

party leader's stance on gaza . party leader's stance on gaza. all this and much more to bring you in just a moment. i'm martin daubney standing in for patrick christys on gb news and we are

that i knew had dewbs& co weeknights from . six weeknights from. six >> welcome back. it's 527. you're watching and listening to gb news with me, martin daubney standing in for patrick christys bringing you all the latest until 6 pm. now burnley's

council leader has resigned from the labour party over sir keir starmer stance on the israel—hamas conflict along with ten others who described their membership as untenable . membership as untenable. afrasiyab anwar , a ten year afrasiyab anwar, a ten year veteran of the party, is the latest in a long line of labour figures who are piling pressure on their leader to call for a ceasefire in gaza . so that's ceasefire in gaza. so that's what i think i want to hear from you. have we got john? we have got our next guest now, john, who is joining us. he's on the line now. let's get in there now then, john. hello it's always a pleasure, mate. normally, your sound were sound here with me, you were advised the blair years isn't this a point of order where a lot of people are looking at this will think that the labour party got rid of their problem with anti—semitism, with the hard left when they rid of hard left when they got rid of jeremy and pulled the jeremy corbyn and pulled the whip yet here we are, whip away. and yet here we are, internal turmoil. the labour party seemingly at civil war over the palestine problem . over the palestine problem. >> not really . what we've got is

>> not really. what we've got is the labour party united in demanding a peace , a peace and demanding a peace, a peace and lasting peace in israel with palestine . and we've got some palestine. and we've got some people disagreeing about the process of getting there. keir starmer set out in a speech last week that we that we in the labour party fully support a humanitarian pause , fully humanitarian pause, fully support getting help , health, support getting help, health, medicine , water, energy into medicine, water, energy into gaza for humanitarian reasons , gaza for humanitarian reasons, we fully support minimising civilian deaths, but we also fully support the right of israel's self—defence. the councillors have resigned. the people who have been speaking out in the labour party , they out in the labour party, they want a ceasefire because they want a ceasefire because they want peace. i don't disagree with the thing that they want. i disagree that it's practical because for a ceasefire to work, a ceasefire requires two parties to agree to a ceasefire . and as to agree to a ceasefire. and as far as i know, hamas are not

offering a ceasefire. hamas are not releasing the hostages and until hamas released the hostages , there can be no proper hostages, there can be no proper negotiations that would move us towards a ceasefire and move us towards a ceasefire and move us towards peace negotiations and move us towards what everybody wants . a two state solution with wants. a two state solution with peace and security on both sides. >> well, john mcternan , in >> well, john mcternan, in a nutshell, you've put your finger on why the calls for this ceasefire are out of question. your party leader has defended israel's right to defend itself and yet we are seeing the spectacle as we approach armistice day at the weekend of busloads of labour voters being shipped in from places like dewsbury and batley and leicester to join the pro—palestine leicester to join the pro — palestine protest leicester to join the pro—palestine protest that's in london. what is it about palestine that seems to obsess the left and why is it that it's causing such divisions within the party to this day ? the party to this day? >> look, the first thing i have to say to you, with 45 to 50% of the population saying they're going to vote labour in the next

election, you know, 1 in 2 people, 1 in 2 voters are labour . so in any group of any size, you're going to find loads of labour voters . that's a very, labour voters. that's a very, you even amongst you know, even amongst your viewers there's going be viewers there's going to be loads at the loads of labour voters. at the moment everybody wants moment because everybody wants a change . the change of government. and the second no second thing is there's no doubt that, know, the that, you know, labour, the labour party members, along with labour party members, along with labour leaders labour party leaders and actually a long with the tory cabinet and president biden are all aligned. they want to see peace and security between palestine and israel and peace and security based on a two state solution. so it is definitely there's a there's a concern in the uk that special about palestine , and that is about palestine, and that is caused by guilt, isn't it? because the israel—palestine conflict is rooted in british political action? it was it was a british prime minister who declared the balfour, you know , declared the balfour, you know, the balfour declaration. it was it was britain who ran the palestinian mandate after the first world war. it was britain who who really at the core is

the centre of the problems in in israel, palestine , because we israel, palestine, because we did not leave a stable solution, a stable setting in which two peoples could live together . and peoples could live together. and so it's undoubtedly, in my mind , so it's undoubtedly, in my mind, a lot of people in britain think that britain should do something to sort this out. i personally think britain's caused think because britain's caused the problem, we should mainly shut the only shut up about this. the only people have any influence in in this sphere geopolitically are the americans. and president biden is doing the right thing. it's best for british politicians. mather keir politicians. keir mather keir starmer whether the leader of burnley or whether the burnley council or whether the prime to do what prime minister just to do what biden's prime minister just to do what bid yeah, john prime minister just to do what bidyeah, john mcternan prime minister just to do what bid yeah, john mcternan , >> yeah, but john mcternan, labour councillors , labour labour councillors, labour members of parliament, even ministers aren't shutting up about this, they are taking the side of palestine , they're side of palestine, they're calling for a ceasefire which goes directly against sir keir starmer's own position and i put it to you, some people are saying this is not driven by an allegiance to palestine. it's been driven by good old fashioned anti—semitism . um, and

fashioned anti—semitism. um, and we've seen a 650% spike in that in the london area for a lot of your council . mayors seem to your council. mayors seem to take a similar position. what would you say about the fact that this this proves that the labour party still has an issue with anti—semitism ? with anti—semitism? >> um, well, i'll just say that's nonsense. that's utter , that's nonsense. that's utter, utter nonsense. there's been a rise, unfortunate rise , a rise, unfortunate rise, a terrible rise in incidents of anti—semitic ism. there's been anti—semitic ism. there's been an equally large rise, unfortunate and terrible . and to unfortunate and terrible. and to be condemned of islamophobic attacks, the position the labour party takes or individual labor party takes or individual labor party members or individual labour politicians take on israel and palestine and the conflict in gaza with hamas has got nothing to do with that. it's a dispute within the labour party and it's a dispute about what is the best way to achieve peace and security. and that is actually the consensus of the british political establishment and british political parties

that there should be peace as soon as possible in gaza. there should be humanitarian pause, that there should be an end to the conflict and a lasting security. the terrible the terrible thing is the instability caused by hamas existing and having free range in gaza city. the israelis suffered the price of that on october the 7th. a terrible, terrible act of terrorism. i think the proportionate lee the worst single act of terrorism anywhere in the world since since the second world war. and that that led to defence is self defence is a step, but we need to move towards peace. >> okay. john watson, a former adviser to tony blair, we have to leave it there. thanks for joining us gb news. you're joining us on gb news. you're watching gb watching and listening to gb news marty daubney news with me. marty daubney in for still loads for patrick christys still loads to bring you in the final part of the show bring you, of the show and we'll bring you, of course, the latest declaration biological of course, the latest declara and biological of course, the latest declara and we'll logical of course, the latest declara and we'll beical of course, the latest declara and we'll be speaking reality. and we'll be speaking to travel simon calder to travel guru simon calder about amsterdam. wanted to ban brits. but first, here's your news headlines with polly

coordinator and co—founder of thoughtful therapists james essers , joins me now on the essers, joins me now on the line. james welcome to the show . line. james welcome to the show. you've written a powerful piece in today's daily mail ahead of the launch of this saying there is no longer any escape from the insanity of gender identity ideology. explain to us what drove you to get this declaration out there . declaration out there. >> well, thanks for having me on, martin. you know, truthfully, things have simply gone too far . this is an gone too far. this is an ideology that has taken over all areas of society. and i would actually submit that there isn't actually submit that there isn't a single person in this country unaffected by this ideology . you unaffected by this ideology. you know, it's infiltrated our schools . schools. >> our children are being irreversibly medical ized. >> women's rights are being undercut, as are the fair competition in sports . competition in sports. >> gay children being taught that they're trapped in the wrong bodies and that if they're same sex attracted , they are

same sex attracted, they are transphobic and people are having their jobs taken away from them, their livelihoods taken away from them, their reputations destroyed because they dare to say that men cannot become women and that women cannot have a penis . cannot have a penis. >> so myself and these other many signatory organisations have simply said we have had enough. >> okay. and james, what do you hope to achieve? do you for hope example, this is listened to by the department of education? is one of your primary goals to kick this kind of gender ideology out of schools? what does victory look like for you ? does victory look like for you? >> well, we've made a series of requests of the powers that be in the declaration under four different themes. and we basically want each and every one of them to be enacted. you know, it'll be interesting to see what's in the king's speech tomorrow. >> for example, there's been toing and froing about this potential conversion therapy. >> know, we have explicitly >> you know, we have explicitly stated declaration stated in the declaration that explorative for children explorative therapy for children must be protected. >> ideally, we wouldn't see any

conversion therapy ban in the king's speech at all. so we'll be awaiting that with keen interest. but yes , i mean, every interest. but yes, i mean, every single department and government needs to take of this needs to take heed of this because seen even terms because we've seen even in terms of language seeping of ideological language seeping its department of its way into the department of health or education , you know, health or education, you know, you can no longer use the word woman. it's seen as bigoted and transphobic. and we're seeing it replaced with terms like cervix or menstruate . i or people who menstruate. i mean, the entire country's gone berserk. and, you know , we've berserk. and, you know, we've brought together politicians and campaigners and activists from across the political spectrum. this really isn't a right or a left wing issue. it affects all of us. and james, how do you think that this ideology captured central government? >> most of our liberal media, academia, how did this happen ? academia, how did this happen? how >> i think the pivotal moment was when stonewall, which had been championing gay and lesbian rights in this country, decided to add in the t seemingly overnight. >> and myself and others believe

that that was simply an attempt to maintain relevancy. >> they'd essentially served their purpose. and so they wanted something else to bring in the funds and to give them notoriety. and that's changed society because we know society forever because we know that managed that stonewall managed to infiltrate itself into numerous government departments, you know, signed to their know, signed up to their diversity scheme in etcetera. and i also think that generally in terms of what children are being taught in school and university students are being taughtin university students are being taught in university, we've produced of individuals produced a breed of individuals who no longer believe, it seems in biological reality . and i in biological reality. and i think people are also very fearful that if they dare to say that men cannot become women, for example, that they will simply be excommunicated and outcasted. i think it's a outcasted. so i think it's a kind of lethal cocktail of all of these issues . but, you know, of these issues. but, you know, for anyone who says, well, this doesn't really affect me, you know, this is just on the fringes, we to fringes, you know, we need to stop talking that. i would stop talking about that. i would say completely for the say that's completely for the birds. i would say that birds. and i would say that particularly men as well particularly to men as well as well. of women well. you know, a lot of women have fighting for this from

have been fighting for this from a women's rights perspective. have been fighting for this from a wbuten's rights perspective. have been fighting for this from a wbut we rights perspective. have been fighting for this from a wbut we mens perspective. have been fighting for this from a wbut we men needipective. have been fighting for this from a wbut we men need to ctive. have been fighting for this from a wbut we men need to stand up >> but we men need to stand up and out about this as and speak out about this as well, whether that's the fathers out husbands or the out there or the husbands or the brothers whatever have, brothers or whatever you have, whatever you have. >> also just to that >> and also just to say that biological reality important biological reality is important to all of you know, as human to all of us, you know, as human beings therapeutically we beings therapeutically, we thrive reality thrive when we embrace reality rather than mass delusion, which is what has taken place with this ideology. okay james, and briefly, can the public get involved with your declaration for biological reality? >> and if so , how can they sign >> and if so, how can they sign it ? it? >> they most certainly can. we're trying to rack up as many signatures as possible simply to go on to the declaration for biological reality dot org or type in declaration for biological reality into google. >> you'll be able to read the full declaration and add your signature to it as well before we it to we present it to parliamentarians formally. >> okay, james says the founder of the declaration for biological reality . thank you biological reality. thank you very much for joining biological reality. thank you very much forjoining us here on very much for joining us here on the patrick christys show. excellent. and thought provoking stuff. you are watching and

saying, stop to brits. what's going on? >> well, this is all to do with the vision on tourism 2020, 2035, that the city authorities have come up with. >> they basically say we simply do not want these so—called bachelor parties. and you will be familiar with these perhaps . be familiar with these perhaps. martin and don't believe it's true that patrick christys is actually on one at the moment. but basically , people go but basically, people go particularly young men go to amsterdam in order to drink lots. >> the alcohol licencing laws are very , very relaxed. are very, very relaxed. >> sometimes, i'm afraid, take soft drugs because again, that is effectively legalise . and is effectively legalise. and finally, possibly to indulge in the red light district, which is right in the centre of the city. as a result of this, the residents feel that they've had they've kind of surrendered their city to lots of yobs and

they want it back. >> thank you. so therefore they've launched a social media campaign . campaign. >> if you if a young person goes into it, goes online and sort of searches for stag parties or hen parties, amsterdam , then they parties, amsterdam, then they will get a warning from the city authorities saying, well , you authorities saying, well, you could be locked up if you behave as you expect, you might be allowed to behave. it is a beautiful city like most cities. it got clobbered during covid in terms of the number of visitors . terms of the number of visitors. but they want people in lower numbers and they would like a higher class of tourists. please >> and so therefore, they want people to enjoy the culture, the cuisine, rather than the alcohol and the drugs as well. some people may say that that is the culture or certainly a good part of the culture. so i hear i couldn't possibly comment personally, but this has had an impact. a 22% decline in the

number of brits going there . but number of brits going there. but isn't it a bit rich for the dutch to blame the brits after all, they're the ones who legalised drugs. they're the ones who have a legalised red light district. >> well, it certainly their choice under the idea that the netherlands is generally a very tolerant location . they just tolerant location. they just think it's gone too far and that they've got to kind of reclaim they've got to kind of reclaim the streets , if you like. and so the streets, if you like. and so , yeah, it's a very , very tricky , yeah, it's a very, very tricky one because actually the uk, as is seeing about 8% fewer tourists than it got in 2019. the last year before the pandemic. and actually in general terms, inbound tourism to your city, to your nation is about the best thing there is. it's the closest thing any country gets to free money. and furthermore , so if you've got furthermore, so if you've got people who are looking, for instance, at this wonderful new location, amsterdam nord, where

they're kind of moving people, moving tourists out of the city centre to a new area north of the river. it's a wonderful opportunity to take bring people in, sell them stuff. they pay taxes and generally most tourists , wherever you are in tourists, wherever you are in the world, behave well. they also help create a lot of amenities for the local people. but the dutch seem to think it's gone far enough. also they are really anti aviation, which is slightly inconvenient given that amsterdam is one of the big four hubsin amsterdam is one of the big four hubs in europe alongside london heathrow, paris , charles de heathrow, paris, charles de gaulle and frankfurt. but this is what they're on. it's getting a result and what they'd actually like is for more people to go to some of the other wonderful dutch cities, places like rotterdam , the hague, delft like rotterdam, the hague, delft and so on. instead, everybody just seems to go. >> simon we have to stop there, i'm afraid. we've been you've been watching and listening to
