politicians to stop this happening. sir mark rowley says intelligence surrounding the potential for serious disorder this weekend does not meet the threshold to prohibit the march. he says use of the power to block moving protests is incredibly rare and must be reserved for cases where there's intelligence to suggest a real threat of serious disorder. a war memorial in rochdale is being guarded by police after protesters sprayed free palestine graffiti across the base. greater manchester police said the cenotaph was vandalised and poppies were removed yesterday afternoon and it's currently a crime scene. the force and rochdale council have condemned the vandalism as criminal disrespect and totally unacceptable. an investigator is ongoing , reports to a uk police ongoing, reports to a uk police counter—terrorism hotline have more than doubled since hamas launched its attack on israel . launched its attack on israel. police say the hotline received just over 1300 reports between the seventh and the 25th of

october, more than twice the number of contacts compared to the same period last year. number of contacts compared to the same period last year . the the same period last year. the number of reports with information useful to investigators went up by nearly four times to 200 and the national counter—terrorism squad that monitors material online has also seen a rise in referrals with almost 2000 made by the public since the attack . by the public since the attack. the israeli military says airstrikes have killed a top hamas weapons maker as it targets the hamas tunnel network beneath the enclave. it's after the israeli defence minister confirmed troops have advanced to the heart of gaza city and were tightening the noose . the were tightening the noose. the israeli military says fighters have been engaging in anti—tank or ground to ground rocket fire to divide the narrow coastal strip in two health officials say israeli bombardment has killed more than 10,000 palestinians over the past month with and the shadow minister, imran hussain has resigned from

labour's front bench in protest of sir keir starmer's position on the israel—hamas war. in his resignation letter to mr starmer, mr hussain said it's become clear that my view on the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in gaza differs substantially from the position you have adopted . while the mp for adopted. while the mp for bradford east was explicit in condemning hamas attack on israel on the 7th of october, but said the situation in gaza was horrific, he says the keir starmer should be calling for a ceasefire . for more on all of ceasefire. for more on all of those stories, you can visit our website at gbnews.com. now it's back to andrew and . bev back to andrew and. bev >> well, the head of the metropolitan police, sir mark rowley, has now confirmed what we all expected. a pro—palestinian protest on armistice that's this armistice day. that's this saturday go ahead. he says saturday will go ahead. he says the of parliament do not

the laws of parliament do not and intelligence that he's gathered do not justify a ban . gathered do not justify a ban. >> that's right. at the same time, rochdale's cenotaph has been vandalised with the words free palestine police will now guard the war memorial ahead of armistice day on sunday. so this is what sir mark rowley, the met police commissioner , had to say. police commissioner, had to say. >> the law is very clear. parliament's laid out a framework, which means if people want to assemble for a protest or any other reason, it will happen. so this weekend there will be a protest assembly because parliament has said that can never be stopped. there may be marches, there may be other factors to consider. we can put tough conditions on this about where it's going to take place. the organisers aren't suggesting they're going to go near the emirates events, but there will be a protest. but what i can say to the public is it's the day before the remembrance before the main remembrance events we will events and in any event, we will do our utmost absolutely do our utmost to absolutely ensure that remembrance and armistice are not compromised and to the smallest degree by these events .

these events. >> i don't think he has a choice . he can't do anything other than allow the protest to go ahead. you're not convinced, are you? >> no, i'm not. >> and the fact is that i don't buy the assurances of the protesters that they won't start until 12. what is it, 145, that they won't go near the cenotaph? we've already seen some of those horrible people on the far right saying to go saying that they're going to go to senate after protect it, to the senate after protect it, which act of which will be an act of provocation itself. ijust provocation in itself. i just think would been a lot think it would have been a lot easier say if the organisers easier to say if the organisers and the police could have got together and say, okay, we're not to this weekend. not going to do it this weekend. we do it in the following we can do it in the following weekend. we did it last weekend because be respectful, because it to be respectful, because it to be respectful, because it's because armistice day, it's about silence about sombre silence and peaceful respect, not about noise and chaos. >> the palestinian pro—palestinian freedom protesters , because, of course, protesters, because, of course, we have to distinguish if they are in that protest and you are showing your support for hamas, that a criminal offence and that is a criminal offence and you could arrested for that. you could be arrested for that. but you are is but if what you are saying is stop bombing at the moment

stop bombing gaza at the moment because children are dying, i, i think they have to people have to have a right to protest on our streets. that is what makes us a liberal democracy. we are not saudi arabia. and i don't want to be. no. well ordinary ordinarily, i'd agree with you, but i think this weekend is too important to too symbolic and i fear that it's going to spiral out of control because they've got form for it. >> and i don't have confidence that the police will be able to stop that. i just think there's going to be there would be so much more division if the government stepped in and said, much more division if the gov

steaming mad. the jewish community are bluntly terrified , community are bluntly terrified, and this is what will happen at this weekend. and if you go to the majority of those people on that march, they will not sign a bit of paper that says, i condemn hamas and i will return the hostages . and this violence the hostages. and this violence should stop . and all these calls should stop. and all these calls for a ceasefire, how can you have a ceasefire that's only one sided when hamas is charter says they want to obliterate israel and kill all jews. and i tell you what, we are heading towards a serious breakdown of trust between the people and the authorities. and i'm sorry, bev, but sir mark rowley absolutely does have the ability to call this out. and if you incite hatred and violence that is within the definition of serious pubuc within the definition of serious public disorder. and let me tell you, if there is any form of hatred and violence and disorder on saturday, sir mark rowley's resignation should be on the desk of the home secretary at 9:00 on monday morning because

it will be his fault because he's completely his fault. >> the prime minister said, i'd prefer it not to happen. i don't want it to happen. the home secretary said the same. but it's his call. >> equally equally, there's >> but equally equally, there's a leadership in a failure of leadership in government. could government. i agree. they could pass page bill saying this pass a one page bill saying this will weekend. will not happen this weekend. they also invoke the they could also invoke the emergencies act. i think it's 2004. if they wanted to. so there's a failure of leadership . there's a failure of leadership. and in a vacuum of leadership, you get chaos will reign a lack of respect. and the british people are suffering a sad wake up call as to what is going on. and there's a complete breakdown of trust and confidence. it's really, really serious. >> i get rather irritated when people say, well, it's not significant, really , because the significant, really, because the big thing happens on sunday when the royal family were there and the royal family were there and the prime minister there. hang on, it is armistice hour at 11:00 on saturday. >> we're in a very bad place. when the veteran minister is asking veterans to be really careful or to stay away and potentially johnny's a bit sort

of he says he hasn't asked them to stay away, but he's but he's he's very anxious about what what the veterans will have. i've had veterans come to me , i've had veterans come to me, people from the special forces, from the paras. they are properly fuming about this. it's an outrage . and it's about the an outrage. and it's about the confidence of the british people. if it is impossible to know the motives of every single one of those people, they're calling for a million people to march for palestine on saturday. >> we saw similar with the iraq war, of course . there was war, of course. there was famously a million people telling tony blair not to invade . completely different. it is different , aren't i? it . completely different. it is different, aren't i? it is different, aren't i? it is different . but i'm glad that different. but i'm glad that that many years since that first protest, we still have the right in this country to protest because we've come very close to losing that on multiple occasions. and so i think we need to work out in the long term who do we want to be as a liberal western democracy. we risk reacting in a way that

fundamentally changes who we are becoming more what's more totalitarian state? >> is it important to you >> is it more important to you to have that right protest or to have that right to protest or actually to protect the jewish community from anti—semitism? because that is the choice . because that is the choice. >> i would i don't think it's that binary, though , to be that binary, though, to be completely honest. i think it must be awful to be a jewish person in this country at the moment. i think it must be incredibly be frightening to be walking down the street and you certainly wouldn't want to be there at the weekend. and i hate there at the weekend. and i hate the idea that we've got streets in this this country where in this in this country where you go as jewish person. you can't go as a jewish person. i find that deeply disturbing. but don't how we can ban but i don't know how we can ban this without becoming this protest without becoming the kind of country that we don't want to be because you're postponing it . postponing it. >> you're saying you can do it next week, but you see that. >> but they would do it on monday. >> okay. >> okay. >> but the point on tuesday, i'm palestinian on friday, i'm just going to repeat it. >> we don't have time. and there have already been thousands of gazan urgency gazan children died. the urgency

that to make this that they feel to make this statement not away. statement will not go away. >> just to repeat it >> i'm just going to repeat it because it's incredibly simple. the to does not the right to protest does not include to incite include the right to incite hatred, and hatred, violence and anti—semitism. it's incredibly simple and richard, people go bev goes about the and bev goes on about the gaza and children being killed by children who are being killed by the bombardment . the israeli bombardment. >> children >> there are israeli children under of five who are under the age of five who are still hostages in those tunnels. must be terrified out of their lives. who these protesters are not calling for , the return of not calling for, the return of which is utterly disgraceful . which is utterly disgraceful. and we saw the hamas spokesman last week tv and radio last week on tv and radio saying, i don't want a ceasefire. what we want to do is continue until we eradicate the state israel. and there continue until we eradicate the state to israel. and there continue until we eradicate the state to be ael. and there continue until we eradicate the state to be a l. and there continue until we eradicate the state to be a ceasefire there were to be a ceasefire there will be another october the seventh, which would more seventh, which would mean more children from children will be taken from their homes and hostage and their homes and kept hostage and more women will be more young women will be beheaded fun. i don't want beheaded for fun. i don't want dead babies on either side. >> i just don't like dead children. i mean, call me old fashioned. and at the moment, the footage that we're seeing in the footage that we're seeing in the hospitals around gaza of these toddlers is visibly

shaking, covered in dust and blood. it's bev. it is war. but somehow we need to work. >> and who's underneath those babies ? the hamas command in the babies? the hamas command in the tunnels underneath. >> underneath the hospital? >> underneath the hospital? >> absolutely. they are. they are war crimes. and are committing war crimes. and the responsibility for all this tragedy in gaza, it's not on israel. it's on hamas. no ifs, no buts. >> and you won't hear that on saturday. >> well, you hear it. >> well, you hear it. >> free palestine. free palestine. and they don't mention hamas. >> i wonder what would happen if i went along with a sign saying hamas is a terrorist organisation. >> be attacked, but >> you would be attacked, but maybe i will. you'd be well, be careful. i confession weak careful. i confession how weak i was when i was on a tube. when i saw three d young men. they were probably in their 20s all masked here with with palestinian here with with the palestinian flag shouting in the tube where are the israelis? where are the israelis? are show israelis? where are you? show your faces. your faces. your faces. show your faces. they have the courage they didn't have the courage to show they didn't have the courage to sho if you're right that i would >> if you're right that i would be attacked with that sign, surely that is evidence enough

that it will invoke serious pubuc that it will invoke serious public should public disorder and it should not go ahead. >> obviously , we don't do >> well, obviously, we don't do anything violence. anything that condones violence. >> richard, very >> but richard, i would be very worried for to go on that worried for you to go on that march. >> i'm tempted. >> i'm tempted. >> don't know if i'm totally >> i don't know if i'm totally honest. i don't know how violent these marches are. and i don't think any of us know what think any of us can know what will happen at the weekend. >> very bad feeling >> i have a very bad feeling about this. >> i just think that if we if we stop this march, if we if mark rowley says this cannot go ahead, it will still go ahead. you're not going to get people with have temperament and with have that temperament and that emotion behind what they're trying not trying to fight for. they're not going at because. going to stay at home because. mark they need they need mark rowley, they need they need to show some proper respect. >> no, tell what, bring in >> no, i tell you what, bring in the army . we need some proper the army. we need some proper respect. this one most respect. this is one of the most important national important days in our national calendar. about our calendar. it's about our history, and history, our heritage. and frankly, foreign national frankly, any foreign national who would breach ban of that who would breach a ban of that march revoke the visa. they don't understand benefits don't understand the benefits and the sacrifice people have made for the joy of living in this country. and frankly, there's 195 other countries they

can live in. and the joy can go and live in. and the joy of living this country is the of living in this country is the fact that these people died. >> had the freedom to >> so we had the freedom to protest, but the freedom to protest, but not the freedom to incite hate harassment anti—semitism. >> um, that's the balance. >> um, and that's the balance. freedom protest does not freedom to protest does not overrule rights to overrule all other rights to live peace and harmony with live in peace and harmony with each other in a tolerant democratic society. >> and richard, this segways into what we're talking about next because the number of calls to the government's the anti—terror hotline, people who fear they've spotted something, anti—terror hotline, people who fear th

there hasn't been time to integrate and absorb within communities and to develop a love and understanding for the single british culture. our way of life, what we stand for, our values. that sense of is it cricket. that's who we are and that's what we want people to buy into. when people are lucky enough to come and live in the uk and that's an interesting take on it. >> but it is a different issue because we've been pretty lax about and i would about immigration. and i would say also we've turned blind say also we've turned a blind eye some pretty nefarious eye to some pretty nefarious islamist influences is not within our structure . actually within our structure. actually within our structure. actually within our structure. actually within our education. we've got an mp , a labour mp, who's just an mp, a labour mp, who's just resigned, hasn't he, from the shadow cabinet, from the shadow cabinet. imran hussain is the gentleman who's come back to me and he is the guy that's resigned because he feels so strongly about this. that worries me because i think if you're this country you're elected to this country to british people, to represent the british people, let you clue about why let me give you a clue about why he's resigned. >> mp in bradford, in >> he's an mp in bradford, in bradford george

bradford in 2012, george galloway famous galloway won a famous by—election victory in that seat because it's got a very large muslim constituency party muslim constituency with a party called respect and he was standing a on a party standing on a on a on a party pledge of get the troops out of afghanis. it was afghanis. khan and it was a famous by—election victory. i'm sure mr hussain is very sincere, but he's looking at his majority and but that's and thinking, blimey, but that's part and thinking, blimey, but that's part joy and thinking, blimey, but that's part joy democracy. part of the joy of democracy. >> it is who we are. and look, if he's got that sincere belief, all to him for the all credit to him for having the courage conviction to do courage and the conviction to do something about just giving up a ministerial car. something about just giving up a mirand'ial car. something about just giving up a mirand'ial carnext year, >> and so for next year, i disagree with him, but i respect his judgement and courage in his judgement and his courage in doing his judgement and his courage in doiiand that's fine. that's who >> and that's fine. that's who we are. that's democracy . it's we are. that's democracy. it's not about inciting hate and attacking people who have a different view on a march. yeah. >> thanks, richard . >> okay. thanks, richard. >> okay. thanks, richard. >> i think you're staying with us, actually. >> are you staying? >> are you staying? >> i think he is. oh, good. >> i think he is. oh, good. >> i'm sure viewers will be >> i'm sure our viewers will be getting in touch at home. vaiews@gbnews.com is email vaiews@gbnews.com is the email address. think? address. what do you think? >> police are >> yeah. now, police are currently the rochdale currently guarding the rochdale cenotaph. how terrible this? cenotaph. how terrible is this? after vandalised with after it was vandalised with guess palestine

guess what? free palestine graffiti right. follows >> that's right. it follows an earlier cenotaph earlier incident at the cenotaph which two teenagers which resulted in two teenagers being with intent being charged with intent personally recklessly personally or recklessly causing pubuc personally or recklessly causing public north west public nuisance. our north west reporter reaper is in reporter sophie reaper is in rochdale. good morning, sophie. >> good morning to you both. well that vandalism has now been removed, but it's been replaced with with added security. there are a couple of greater manchester police pcsos patrolling the area this morning, taking turns to make laps of the cenotaph itself. i'm not sure if you can just see them here over my left shoulder. they're making sure that nothing like that is able to happen again on the cenotaph before the remembrance weekend this week end. now, this has become quite a saga over the past few days. i was here on monday after a video had been circulating social media showing palestinian flags laid on the cenotaph and that the poppy wreaths had been scattered in front in response to this rochdale borough council said that the flags had been laid there by children when they

were having a photograph taken and that the wreaths had been displaced by some bad weather. however we now know that on monday, incident that led to monday, an incident that led to two teenagers being arrested and we can't reveal their identities is due to their age. but we can now confirm that they've been charged with either recklessly or intention causing public nuisance . now, then, we now know nuisance. now, then, we now know of this six incident that took place yesterday day where someone sprayed the words free palestine in big black letters here on the base of the cenotaph itself that is currently being investigated by greater manchester police . the manchester police. the vandalism, as i say, has been removed , removed when it was removed, removed when it was a crime scene . but now the crime scene. but now the investigation does continue. and as i say, the gmp are patrolling the area. they've also got cctv and patrols in the wider area as well, making sure that this cannot happen again . now, when i cannot happen again. now, when i was here on monday, i remember i said that the flags and the

wreaths being displaced would cut quite close to the bone. if that's the case, then i'm not really sure what the response is to someone spraying the words free palestine on a war memorial will be, i'm sure people not only in rochdale but all over the uk will be absolutely outraged at this, especially given the proximity to remembrance weekend this weekend. all right. >> that's sophie reaper, our reporter in rochdale, richard tice is still with us. do you think these have any clue what the cenotaph is there to signify? >> no, they don't. and that actually is part of the tragedy, is that they're the useful idiots in this process. is that they're the useful idiots in this process . yes. idiots in this process. yes. they've no idea about the depths of sacrifice that millions of british people and our allies, many of them muslims, made , and many of them muslims, made, and many of them muslims, made, and many of them muslims, made, and many of them muslims made in the two world wars and other wars . two world wars and other wars. and in a sense, that's a failure of our education system to generate that respect and that understanding . and that's what understanding. and that's what you're seeing. and it's they

they have no idea for most of them actually wouldn't realise that hamas control and govern gaza. they wouldn't realise that that hamas steel and nick whatever fuel, whatever supplies, whatever food they want from the un humanitarian aid and that's the reality that we've got to educate and tell people about. >> there may not be enough fuel for the energy for the hospitals, but they'll find plenty their rockets. plenty for their rockets. >> absolutely right. plenty for their rockets. >> of absolutely right. plenty for their rockets. >> of fuel lutely right. plenty for their rockets. >> of fuel forzly right. plenty for their rockets. >> of fuel for their|ht. plenty of fuel for their rockets. what's more rockets. so what's more important think people important and i think people we've that debate. we've got to have that debate. however difficult it is, so that people understand what is people understand what really is going and there's going on here. and there's a reason why this is still going on. you know, how must have been in gaza for 18 years in control of gaza for 18 years without an election. >> i was just looking at some of the some of the demographic acas at rochdale in rochdale, actually , which i think is actually, which i think is interesting. on your interesting. richard, on your point immigration point about mass immigration over very short period of over a very short period of time, and therefore having time, and therefore not having the cultural the kind of cultural assimilation that we might all aspire england, aspire to. so in england, we've got of population is

got 5% of the population is muslim. vast majority of muslim. the vast majority of those people those will be peaceful people who go about their who just want to go about their day, work hard not cause any day, work hard and not cause any trouble. rochdale. there are trouble. in rochdale. there are 13. residents of rochdale are muslim. nearly three times 13. residents of rochdale are ml many nearly three times 13. residents of rochdale are ml many as nearly three times 13. residents of rochdale are ml many as theearly three times 13. residents of rochdale are ml many as the average e times 13. residents of rochdale are ml many as the average withins as many as the average within the of england. and that the whole of england. and that probably is a little bit of what we're seeing isn't it? it we're seeing here, isn't it? it is cultural division. there is this cultural division. there will some of rochdale will be some areas of rochdale which a monoculture which are almost a monoculture actually they've brought actually, and they've brought that that strength feeling that that strength of feeling about palestine line into that community. and somehow we have to stop those sorts of acts of aggression . it must start as aggression. it must start as well in education. it's got to be in the schools. >> it does absolutely. and in other towns , i mean, you other towns, i mean, you mentioned bradford . you go to mentioned bradford. you go to places tower hamlets and places like tower hamlets and the statistic is the vast majority within areas may well be will be from a different faith. and it is about education and it is about understanding funding. and that is a failure , funding. and that is a failure, frankly, on all of us. the schools , teachers, community schools, teachers, community leaders and i do think there is a real complete sort of failure

of leadership amongst the muslim leaders in the uk to, you know, to really get involved and to help here because they should be speaking out about this, shouldn't they? >> they should say how outraged it is and they should also be appealing calm this weekend. appealing for calm this weekend. >> . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> richard, to see you as >> richard, good to see you as always. thank you. right. still to come, gb news presenter lee anderson going be in the anderson is going to be in the studio with us talk about studio with us to talk about calls to the uk counter—terrorism hotline doubung counter—terrorism hotline doubling hamas attacked doubling since hamas attacked israel. is britain's israel. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. >> hello, very good morning to you. it's alex burkill here again with your latest gb news weather forecast. there will be something to arrive something sunnier to arrive later but at the moment it's later on, but at the moment it's a wet and windy picture for many of outbreaks of rain heavy of us. outbreaks of rain heavy at times and even across parts of scotland we have some sleet or most the rain clears or snow. most of the rain clears away we go away towards the east as we go through morning. but through the morning. but lingering across parts of the east and south—east of england, well the afternoon, drier, well into the afternoon, drier, brighter weather following in behind of us, but

the seven over seven terrorist attack in london in order to make a movie for disney, is that a good idea ? a good idea? >> gb views gbnews.com is the email address and lee anderson will be here in just a moment. first, though, your news headunes first, though, your news headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. beth thank you very much and good morning. >> it's10:00. this is the latest. a pro—palestinian demonstration is set to go ahead on armistice day after the metropolitan police chief said there was no power to protest tests. despite the efforts from politicians to ban any protests from happening. sir mark rowley says intelligence surrounding the potential for serious disorder this weekend does not meet the threshold to prohibit the march. he said use of the power to block moving protests is incredibly rare and must be reserved for cases where there's intelligence to suggest a real threat of serious disorder. a

war memorial in rochdale is being guarded by police after protesters sprayed free palestine graffiti across the base. greater manchester police said the cenotaph was vandalised and poppies were removed yesterday afternoon. it's currently a crime scene. the force and rochdale council have condemned the vandalism as criminal disrespect and totally unacceptable. an investigation is ongoing , unacceptable. an investigation is ongoing, reports to a uk police counter—terrorism hotline have more than doubled since hamas launched its attack on israel . police say the hotline israel. police say the hotline received just over 1300 reports between the seventh and the 25th of october, more than twice the number of contacts compared to the same time last year. the national counter—terrorism squad that monitors material online has also seen a rise in referrals , with nearly 2000 made referrals, with nearly 2000 made by the public since the attack. deputy assistant commissioner at the met police lawrence taylor, says tensions have drastically

risen , seen huge tensions across risen, seen huge tensions across numerous communities in the uk . numerous communities in the uk. >> fear across our communities and all of those things play into building that threat picture, which is one of people who might be inclined to conduct an attack on uk soil. being energised by these events and those threats will play out in many different ways . and what many different ways. and what we're doing within counter—terrorism policing is working hard to understand and manage those threats . manage those threats. >> the israeli military says airstrikes have killed a top hamas weapons maker as it targets the terrorist tunnel network beneath the enclave . network beneath the enclave. it's after the israeli defence minister confirmed troops have advanced to the heart of gaza city and were tightening the noose. gaza health officials say israeli bombardment has killed more than 10,000 palestinians over the past month. shadow education secretary bridget phillipson says the lasting political settlement is the only way through the conflict. what

we all want to see is more humanitarian aid getting into gaza. >> it's absolutely essential that that happens, that we see the release of hostages, but also in the long run that we get to a lasting political settlement of a viable palestinian state alongside a safe and secure israel. that's what we all want to see. so i do recognise is how colleagues feel about these issues. but i think humanitarian pauses and making sure that we have the opportunity for increased aid to get into gaza is the right approach. and think is what we approach. and i think is what we all want to see more aid getting in support . in greater support. >> the foreign secretary says the government supports a humanitarian pause in the gaza strip above a wider ceasefire. speaking on the sidelines of the g7, g7 and foreign minister talks in japan, james cleverly told journalists a ceasefire would hamper israel's ability to defend itself. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has echoed those comments. >> we all agree that humanitarian pauses would

advance key objectives to protect palestinian civilians , protect palestinian civilians, to increase the sustained flow of humanitarian assistance to allow our citizens and foreign nationals to exit and to facilitate the release of hostages. i briefed my colleagues about my conversations with israeli leaders on pauses and on concrete steps to minimise harm to palestinian civilians in gaza and to stop extremist violence in the west bank. israel has repeatedly told us that there is no going back to october 6th before the barbaric attacks by hamas . we fully agree chateau hamas. we fully agree chateau minister imran hussein has resigned from labour's front bench in protest of sir keir starmer's position on the israel—hamas war in his resignation letter to mr starmer , he said it has become clear that my view on the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in gaza differs substantially from the position you have adopted. >> the mp for bradford east was explicit in condemning hamas's

attack on october the 7th, but said the situation in gaza was horrific. he says the keir starmer should be calling for a ceasefire . and finally , in other ceasefire. and finally, in other news, possession of laughing gas has become a criminal offence in the uk. now categorised as a class c drug possession of nitrous oxide. also known as nas, will carry a sentence of up to two years in prison . the to two years in prison. the government says the ban will combat anti—social behaviour and reduce damage to users health. this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and now on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now it's back to andrew and . bev now it's back to andrew and. bev >> very good morning. it is 1006. you have been getting in touch at home. thank you ever so much for emailing in gbviews@gbnews.com. we've been talking about the marches, whether they go ahead or whether they should go ahead or

that'll track the left. it'll track the a mob , the track the rent a mob, the professional protesters, the socialist worker boards will come out. i don't know where they hide these boards. i think it in a garage it must be in a in a garage somewhere in london because they'll come out and they'll start causing all start waving these causing all sorts mayhem. sorts of nonsense and mayhem. but i keep repeating but like i say, i keep repeating it just for one day. please, just give it a rest. >> they would say, we can't give it for one day because it a rest for one day because lives are being lost in gaza. they want israel to stop being suppued they want israel to stop being supplied arms and they supplied with arms and they want ceasefire. but as we're seeing from some of these pictures here, there no doubt they here, there is no doubt they will absolute. absolutely will be absolute. absolutely 100. people in that 100. there are people in that crowd also want to see crowd who also want to see israel off the face of the israel wiped off the face of the earth and actually want to see all jewish people wiped off the face of the earth. do you know what saddens me, lee, is when i see to think that this see this, to think that this sort division in is here on sort of division in is here on the streets of the uk , which has the streets of the uk, which has been imported from the middle east as much as i defend their right to have these protests , it right to have these protests, it does make me sad that we've got

to this place. what bigger lessons do you think can be learned off the back of this? >> i think we need to clamp down a little bit, a little bit harder, but we've sort of been festering for a long, festering away this for a long, long you know, i've long time. and you know, i've been israel . i went last year been to israel. i went last year with the conservative friends of israel, and i saw first hand the problems. they've got and how tolerant israeli nation are. tolerant the israeli nation are. they're they're very they're very they're very tolerant their tolerant of the of their neighbours. of neighbours. you know, lots of things don't like, you things we don't know. like, you know, many thousands know, there's so many thousands a come over the border to a day come over the border to work. go through like work. they just go through like a security thing. they come over to because they get more a security thing. they come over to so :ause they get more a security thing. they come over to so they're1ey get more a security thing. they come over to so they're quitet more a security thing. they come over to so they're quite tolerant money. so they're quite tolerant and hamas, they don't and you know, hamas, they don't want that will their want a solution that will their solution to rid of solution is to get rid of israel, whereas israel are quite prepared sit round a table prepared to sit round a table and solution. and discuss the solution. two state whatever it state solution or whatever it is. but when you're dealing with an enemy doesn't want a an enemy that doesn't want a solution, their solution, solution, only their solution, then it becomes incredibly difficult. >> how you do a >> and how can you do a ceasefire that's ceasefire with a country that's taken is hamas, which taken what is it, hamas, which has taken, what, 240 hostages, babies, children? >> i say to people, >> i always say to people, andrew, living this andrew, imagine living in this country came from

country in an army, came from wales scotland took 200 wales or scotland and took 200 members and then members of your family and then started and killing started bombing you and killing you would you react to you. how would you react to that? you would unthinkable. >> your >> and you'd be outraged if your government said, okay, we're going ceasefire. going to do a ceasefire. >> yeah, it's unthinkable. you'd want flesh. you want your pound of flesh. you want your pound of flesh. you want sort that out so want to go and sort that out so it doesn't happen again. >> you know, think are >> you know, i think we are all reassured by the fact that this hasn't escalate. seated in hasn't yet escalate. seated in the east, when first the middle east, when we first started talking about this four weeks we were weeks about iran, we were absolutely convinced that somewhere as absolutely convinced that som say, are as absolutely convinced that somsay,ere would as you say, iran would get involved. arabia would get involved. saudi arabia would get involved, get involved, jordan would get involved. hezbollah have been getting little bit in getting involved a little bit in lebanon. am lebanon. but i, for one, am quite well. i'm very reassured actually, nothing has actually, that nothing has accelerated as of yet. >> well, i mean, it's scary, bevin. you know, we always say , bevin. you know, we always say, right from me being a kid, that the problems in the middle east are going to stop whatever war, world war iii, we've always been sort of conditioned to think that. encouraging to that. but it is encouraging to see know, whatever you see that, you know, whatever you think of iran and these places, they of taking they are sort of not taking a back seat as such, but just keeping at it a little bit and

not escalating the conflict. i mean, i do hope, bev, i mean that i mean, the israeli army are in there now and it's going to be a long time. it's not going to be over quickly. i mean, this is going to be beyond the next general election. and, you know, we see what's happened in you know, we've in the ukraine. you know, we've got they've got to sort hamas out. they've got to get every single because single one of them, because there is lot of money in there is a lot of money in terrorism. very profitable. terrorism. yeah very profitable. and these people in these terrorist groups, their terrorist groups, that's their living. fight to living. and they will fight to defend their living and do you worry because of what's worry a bit because of what's happening hamas, worry a bit because of what's hapwhole hamas, worry a bit because of what's hapwhole world's hamas, worry a bit because of what's hapwhole world's eyes hamas, worry a bit because of what's hapwhole world's eyes are mas, worry a bit because of what's hapwhole world's eyes are on s, the whole world's eyes are on the whole world's eyes are on the east. the middle east. >> yeah, nobody's talking >> yeah, nobody's even talking about ukraine. that war is about ukraine. but that war is still hell for leather. still going hell for leather. yeah, there's all sorts of talk that some of the republicans now are wobbling about increased continued to zelenskyy . continued aid to zelenskyy. >> i think what it is, andrew, is a greater affinity i think rightly or wrongly, to the jewish people because of what happenedin jewish people because of what happened in the last war. we've got a lot of jewish people in this country, descendants who lost speak to

lost their i mean, i speak to them, lost their relatives, their great their grandparents, great grandparents the grandparents in the in the holocaust. we've that holocaust. so we've got that connection with our jewish community. feel that community. so we feel that affinity them. and that's why community. so we feel that affi aty them. and that's why community. so we feel that affi a little :hem. and that's why community. so we feel that affi a little bitn. and that's why community. so we feel that affi a little bit more! that's why community. so we feel that affi a little bit more personal, 1y it's a little bit more personal, because of brits live in because a lot of brits live in israel as yeah, they do. israel as well. yeah, they do. yeah yeah, yeah. >> ask your thoughts, >> can we ask your thoughts, lee, on the stunning performance that the speech that was the king's speech yesterday? you yesterday? we you know, i thought a lot of thought there was a lot of common sense in there, but there wasn't a huge amount of vote winning . winning headlines. >> wasn't a page turner, was it? >> wasn't a page turner, was it? >> well, look, king's speech >> well, look, a king's speech is to outline the plans is meant to outline the plans for year. i mean, i think for the year. i mean, i think the big ones are going to come in a couple of weeks time when we have the autumn statement. that's what people are looking at people are worried at because people are worried about notes their about pound notes in their pocket. they're worried about other to other businesses are going to survive. certainty. survive. they want certainty. they know they're going they want to know they're going to to their to be able to afford their mortgage and pay the bills and energy supply and like energy supply and stuff like that. mean, the king's that. so, i mean, the king's speech great. it's great to speech is great. it's great to be there. it's a great pomp and ceremony. it's part of our democratic you know, democratic traditions. you know, it's there and it's brilliant to be there and watch it actually happen. but i

used to the smallest degree by these events . these events. >> so we've already seen the cenotaph at rochdale vandalised by pro—palestine demonstrators . by pro—palestine demonstrators. so we're asking you this question do you trust the police to safeguard your remembrance day? and if you don't, why not? >> so in the studio with us is former met police detective peter we're also peter bleksley. and we're also joined former detective joined by former detective superintendent at the metropolitan police, shabnam chow . dari, let's start with you chow. dari, let's start with you then , peter. have the police then, peter. have the police made the right decision about these protests? >> sir mark rowley in the metropolitan police have handled this appalling lee this week the once world renowned metro . once world renowned metro. politan police was reduced to writing a begging letter to the organisers of this pro—palestine march. pretty please don't have this march. and of course the organisers said we're going ahead with it. of course they did. even the most fervent police support for must be really shaking their heads at

this. however it is going to happen. there will be the gathering, the decision on whether the march element will take place is yet to be formally decided. there is still a window dunng decided. there is still a window during which the police could protest or could rather go to the home secretary and ask for that. but rowley has already said that the intelligence picture is not sufficient enough to justify a ban of the march element as things stand, shabnam mark rowley to some extent is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. >> i would say because if he says that the march can't go ahead, it will go ahead anyway. and then there could be all sorts of chaos . sorts of chaos. >> yes. but mark rowley has to act. he has to maintain his operation and he can only work within the framework of the law . within the framework of the law. and the law says that they can protest anyone has the right to protest. and in for order him to have that march banned, he would have that march banned, he would have to write to the home

secretary and he would have to outline to her that there is sufficient and credible information and intelligence that would indicate there is a strong likelihood of either serious disorder or serious violence . now, he hasn't met violence. now, he hasn't met that threshold yet, and we're onto, are we tuesday now? no, we're wednesday now. so he's got a couple of more days to establish whether or not each day he reviews the information and intelligence , whether that and intelligence, whether that march can be banned . but i take march can be banned. but i take your point between now and saturday, it's highly, highly unlikely that the thousands and thousands of people all that are intending to march are suddenly going to say , do you know what? going to say, do you know what? we won't come along because you've just banned the last minute because . very strongly minute because. very strongly about what this march . about what this march. >> peter, i just think i mean, you were very critical of mark rowley. i think it does make him look it makes him look weak, knock kneed, inept and not in

control of events . control of events. >> oh, absolutely. and his indecisive ness has fuelled the fire of the far right. there's been a promise giant, obnoxious man calling his supporters to come to london to fight for the country dodi and the suchlike. so if the gathering will take place and the march element does happen now the metropolitan police, largely of their own making, will not only be looking inwards towards the march to protect that and to identify and deal with any lawbreaking , but deal with any lawbreaking, but they'll also be having to look outwards from the march to see if there are any any marauding gangs who are looking to create havoc , commit offences and havoc, commit offences and further disrupt the march . further disrupt the march. >> peter, just on a broader level , paul, where do you think level, paul, where do you think the british population is at the moment with the police and whether we trust our our services, who are meant to be looking after us? >> well, i did a very unscientific poll on x yesterday

morning which ran for 24 hours, formerly twitter . indeed. morning which ran for 24 hours, formerly twitter. indeed. and i had just asked a simple question do you trust the police ? over do you trust the police? over 5000 people voted . in this straw 5000 people voted. in this straw poll of mine. and unfortunately, 74% of those who responded said no, they do not trust the police. i think it was 13% said they did. and 13% were unsure what a damning indict meant upon the current state of british policing. that is so chavan and chaudhry, why has that poll come out with such a negative response to the police? >> who's to blame for that? well i saw that, actually. >> and i think that you've got to look at some of the scandals and events that have unfold for police , the metropolitan police police, the metropolitan police for example, you had the murder of sarah everard. then you had david carrick, then most recently you had adam provan, who was convicted of rape, a met officer. you had the hutton

inquiry, which was a charing cross whatsapp group. you have the selfie photographs of nina smallman and bibaa henry, and then you look across policing in general , you'll then you look across policing in general, you'll find that a number of police forces across the uk are in special measures. so i think trust and confidence isn't just low within certain sections of the communities. you've got women and girls that don't trust police. unfortunately, the investigation of crime are low. part of this is to blame is the fact that the number of policing has been reduced significantly. we cannot, you know , say 50,000 cannot, you know, say 50,000 people now being recruited when actually 20,000 police were cut in the first instance. so on top of that, you've got people coming into policing new recruits. it's like a revolving doon recruits. it's like a revolving door. as soon as they're coming in, they're leaving. there's no experience . there's a lack of experience. there's a lack of experience. there's a lack of experience. there's a lack of experience. the vetting process is policing is poor , and is within. policing is poor, and therefore are allowing therefore you are allowing police officers who are criminals with badge to come criminals with a badge to come into the met police at into policing. the met police at the moment is playing catch up

with a number of officers that they that they're sacking. and i'll point i'll just go back to the point that in respect that peter was making in respect of these protests. i'm sorry, but the fact is, suella braverman actually made some ten dribble comments that have actually stoked the fire and have been inflammatory. that has instigated the right wing groups to come forward who now want to come along and protect the cenotaph . my personal view is cenotaph. my personal view is actually i think the scale of things are are doing the job in respect of policing that those marches and the number of arrests that a range of powers there making sure that they use violent disorder section 35 dispersal orders they they're using a whole range of tactics , using a whole range of tactics, super recognisers, facial recognition an they've got a big job on their hands this weekend and they've got to worry about the splinter groups that break off to where those right wing are. they're now going to potentially meet up with those extremists where they've got to

manage any potential violence out of that . out of that. >> peter, a quick word on that on point then and on that point then and the picture that shannon paints. >> of course , high profile >> yes, of course, high profile cases of police appalling wrongdoing does affect public trust, but the rot runs far, far deeper than that. for the last 20 years or so, the police simply turn their backs on the moderate majority of britain. they didn't investigate their burglaries, car thefts, bicycle thefts, phone thefts and so on and so forth. and we've got a whole new generation of young people who accept crime as part of their everyday lives when they fundamentally shouldn't do . they fundamentally shouldn't do. we've got overly educated we've got an overly educated woke , liberal, liberal kind of woke, liberal, liberal kind of fluffy police leadership who only look inwards towards themselves , who are disconnected themselves, who are disconnected from the public, who have no idea of the challenges that face britain's every day, and consequently the whole of british policing is in the state that it fundamentally is okay. >> bleak and very disheartening . >> bleak and very disheartening. >> bleak and very disheartening. >> and i'm afraid i'm i'm fully

agreeing with peter. >> yeah. sharon chowdhury , >> yeah. sharon chowdhury, peter, good to see you both this morning. thank you very much. let us know your thoughts . vaiews@gbnews.com. >> still to come, not a laughing matter. possession of nitrous oxide, also known as nox , has oxide, also known as nox, has become a criminal offence in the uk for its psychoactive effects . uk for its psychoactive effects. >> that's right. those are those little canisters you see everywhere. it's school meals a week across the country. schools are promoting the importance of healthy . gb news will healthy meals. gb news is will hollis, will let us lettuce know all about it. he wrote that. get it? not me . all of that and more it? not me. all of that and more after your news with tatiana . bev >> thank you very much and good morning. this is the latest. the prime minister says he will hold the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, accountable for his decision to greenlight a pro—palestinian demonstration on armistice day and that they'll meet later today. and that they'll meet later today . despite the efforts of today. despite the efforts of politicians to stop any such

protests . mark rowley says protests. mark rowley says intelligence surrounding the potential for serious disorder this weekend does not meet the threshold to prohibit the march . threshold to prohibit the march. he says use of the power to block moving protests is incredibly rare and must be reserved for cases where there's intelligence to suggest a real threat of serious disorder. a war memorial in rochdale is being guarded by police after protesters sprayed free palestine graffiti across the base. greater manchester police said the cenotaph was vandalised and poppies were removed yesterday afternoon and it's currently a crime scene. the force and rochdale council have condemned the vandalism as criminal disrespect act and totally unacceptable . bill totally unacceptable. bill shadow minister imran hussain has resigned from labour's front bench in protest of sir keir starmer's position on the israel hamas war in his resignation letter to mr starmer, he said it's become clear that my view on the ongoing humanitarian

catastrophe in gaza differs substantially from the position you have adopted . the mp for you have adopted. the mp for bradford east was explicit in condemning hamas attack on the 7th of october, but said the situation in gaza was horrific. he says the keir starmer should be calling for a ceasefire and mourning . commuters have been mourning. commuters have been stuck on waterloo bridge in central london as met police arrest just up oil protesters allegedly blocking traffic met police shared a picture on social media showing several buses and an ambulance with blue lights on. stuck as both lanes are blocked. however the climate group pointed the finger at the police for that traffic build up, saying their demonstration was on the opposite side of the road and accusing the police vehicles for blocking that ambulance . for more on all of ambulance. for more on all of those stories, you can visit our website at gbnews.com . for

know it's a balance. and really thatis know it's a balance. and really that is something that parents should be doing at home. so i think you do need to have not necessarily need but it would necessarily need to but it would be a good thing to that be a good thing to have that kind of provision there. and it's good for young it's definitely good for young children learning. children to be learning. the independence able independence of being able to cook it interesting cook their own is it interesting in middle the last in the middle of the last century was at school, century when i was at school, there called there, we had this thing called home economics , which where home economics, which was where you taught cookery. >> what? the girls were >> guess what? the girls were allowed that? that's allowed to do that? that's right. to do metal work allowed to do that? that's righ'woodworkto do metal work allowed to do that? that's righ'woodwork like) metal work allowed to do that? that's righ'woodwork like they:al work and woodwork like they were still doing the 70s. still doing that in the 70s. >> stephen you're a bit later >> stephen if you're a bit later because do really and because i had to do really and it pathetic because it was pathetic because i couldn't do it and i hated it. >> and yet when you think how many men, do they many chefs are men, how do they get most of the famous get well, most of the famous tv chefs are men, aren't they? >> indeed. >> yeah, indeed. >> yeah, indeed. >> i >> yeah, indeed. » i >> yeah, indeed. >> i say the one >> actually, i would say the one good came of good thing that came out of lockdowns at lockdowns and having the kids at home operated home is that i operated a principle of benign neglect, which is i'm too busy. i don't wish but you're which is i'm too busy. i don't wish to but you're which is i'm too busy. i don't wish to to but you're which is i'm too busy. i don't wish to to learnt you're which is i'm too busy. i don't wish to to learn to ou're which is i'm too busy. i don't wish to to learn to cook going to have to learn to cook an egg. you're going to have to learn to do an omelette and now they can cook. my they can they can all cook. my 14 old every 14 year old gets up every morning. she makes eggs for herself and toast before she

goes and the year herself and toast before she goe makes and the year herself and toast before she goe makes porridge year herself and toast before she goe makes porridge and ear herself and toast before she goe makes porridge and you old makes her porridge and you know, my books. know, well, all of my books. >> michael caines i think was >> michael caines i think it was the ipcress he some woman the ipcress file. he some woman comes to his place and he comes back to his place and he cooks breakfast cooks her breakfast in the morning, an omelette with, you know, and know, chopped green peppers and things and number things like that. and the number of war that michael k that's how to that's how to get the to do it. that's how to get the reputation the andrew reputation of being the andrew pierce you you, pierce of west london. you you, you make breakfast for some. you can make breakfast for some. >> really chopped >> michael caine really chopped green peppers into an omelette in i doubt you in the ipcress file. i doubt you would have been that posh right so we do a gear change the labour party is in chaos. >> stephen you've got imran. >> can get back to green >> can we get back to green peppers, please? >> imran hussain resigned as >> imran hussain has resigned as an mp. >> no, no, no , sorry. a cabinet >> no, no, no, sorry. a cabinet from the shadow cabinet junior shadow minister? >> yeah, he's not someone i'm particularly familiar with. i can't and so can't lie. here he is. and so he's resigned from the cabinet. he's outraged at keir starmer's position on the middle east conflict and thinks he conflict and thinks that he should calling a should be calling for a ceasefire . ceasefire. >> well, two things. i mean, imran khan seat in bradford was the one that george galloway won right? it's the

right? and it's also the seat with proportion of with the highest proportion of muslim imran muslim voters. and imran is himself muslim, so he's under himself a muslim, so he's under enormous pressure. but i mean, the real difficulty here. >> you suggesting he's >> so are you suggesting he's not of principle? not resigned out of principle? he's resigned because thinks not resigned out of principle? hi ? >> i think he probably does actually believe that we should be doing something different. right. being , be doing something different. right. being, and right. but the point being, and this is the real difficulty, it's much to go out it's much, much easier to go out on street and protest and on the street and protest and shout and things do shout and smash things and do that actually up that than to actually come up with a proper, workable solution. know, know solution. you know, and i know that a ceasefire would that time out, a ceasefire would simply allow hamas to rearm , simply allow hamas to rearm, re—equip attack , go to re—equip and then attack, go to another october 7th. >> said so. well, the >> they've said so. well, the problem is that it was meaningless. >> you could only have a ceasefire if it's in the interest of both parties. neither party is remotely interested. i remember the interested. i remember all the discussion with ira discussion with the ira ceasefire. a precursor ceasefire. that was a precursor to talks. yeah there is no way that you can talk to hamas whose stated objective, whose whose dna is the destruction of the state of israel. so a ceasefire is really something that people

are calling for without realising that it's impossible. it's you remember nye bevan it's do you remember nye bevan talked about unilateral nuclear disarmament, not talked about unilateral nuclear disarmament , not policy, but disarmament, not a policy, but an emotional spasm . yeah. and an emotional spasm. yeah. and it's expression , but but it's a cruel expression, but but a humanitarian pause is acceptable. absolutely look, this is it's other awful line. remember, during the biafra thing, they were talking about getting food supplies and said, you have corpses, but you still have corpses, but there'll corpses there'll be corpses with full stomachs. yeah, it's a horrible thing, but quite clearly why on earth egypt not opening earth is egypt not opening the rafah egypt, muslim rafah crossing? egypt, a muslim state? why on earth aren't they? >> because they don't they don't want them in their country ehhen want them in their country either. that's right. well, because his enemy is because el—sisi, his enemy is the checking the muslim brotherhood, checking people over the people who are coming over the who are are trying to cross who are who are trying to cross the border egypt. the border into egypt. >> lot of those wounded >> but a lot of those wounded people of course, hamas fighters. >> yeah, they don't want them. why would they want terrorists in their ranks? >> exactly. they? >> exactly. why would they? >> exactly. why would they? >> think >> sensible. so do you think egypt. think do you think >> do you think do you think this is proving to be keir starmer's finest hour in that he hasn't far. hasn't u—turned so far. he's stuck he's adopting stuck to his guns. he's adopting the same position as rishi

sunak.the the same position as rishi sunak. the united most sunak. the united states. most major . major countries. >> in a difficult >> so he's in a difficult position because obviously the muslim something that muslim vote is something that has been very important to the labour party. it's something that they've really to. that they've really played to. i think not necessarily think that it's not necessarily mutually sure mutually exclusive. i'm sure that this mp sincerely believes it, but also at the same time is politically invested in that position as well . but i, you position as well. but i, you know, i think that it it's remarkable that people who are even people who are calling for a ceasefire here and not calling for the release of the hostages as a prerequisite for the ceasefire, i think it tells you a lot about what their position actually is that are actually is, that they are actually is, that they are actually just against the existence of the state of israel. keir israel. so i think that keir starmer is , in my opinion, more starmer is, in my opinion, more really doing the right thing politically . the labour party politically. the labour party might take a knock , but i think might take a knock, but i think from a from an ethical position in the labour party should be saying riddance to people saying good riddance to people who hold that view also. and who who hold that view also. and as a side i think this guy's title was the minister for the

safeguard remembrance for the country this weekend as well as keep the public safe. now, my job is to hold him accountable for that. and we've asked the police for information on how they that this they will ensure that this happens and i'll be meeting the metropolitan police commissioner later today discuss this . and later today to discuss this. and more broadly, you know, my view is that these marches are disrespectful . all a war disrespectful. all a war memorial in rochdale is being guarded by police after protesters sprayed free palestine graffiti across the base. >> greater manchester police said the cenotaph was vandalised and poppies were removed yesterday afternoon and it's currently a crime scene. the force and rochdale council have condemned the vandalism as criminal disrespect and totally unacceptable reports to a uk police counter—terrorism hotline have more than doubled since hamas launched its attack on israel. police say the hotline received just over 1300 reports between the seventh and the 25th

of october, more than twice the number of contacts compared to the same period last year. the national counter—terrorism squad that monitors material online has also seen a rise in referrals with almost 2000 made by the public since the attack. deputy assistant commissioner at the met police, lawrence taylor , the met police, lawrence taylor, says tensions have drastically risen are seen huge tensions across numerous communities in the uk fear across our communities and all of those things play into building that threat picture, which is one of people who might be inclined to conduct an attack on uk soil. >> being energised by these events and those threats will play events and those threats will play out in many different ways . play out in many different ways. and what we're doing within counter—terrorism policing is working to understand and working hard to understand and manage those threats , she shadow manage those threats, she shadow minister imran hussain has resigned from labour's front bench in protest of sir keir starmer's position on the israel hamas war in his resignation letter, he said it's become

clear that my view on the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in gaza differs substantially from the position that you have adopted. >> the mp for bradford east was explicit in condemning hamas's attack on israel on the 7th of october, but said the situation in gaza was horrific . he says in gaza was horrific. he says sir keir starmer should be calling for a ceasefire . the calling for a ceasefire. the israeli military says airstrikes have killed a top hamas weapons maker as it targets the terrorist tunnel network beneath the enclave. it's after the israeli defence minister confirmed the troops had advanced to the heart of gaza city and were tightening the noose. gaza health officials say israeli bombardment has killed more than 10,000 palestinians over the past month. shadow education secretary bridget phillipson says a lasting political settlement is the only way through the conflict . way through the conflict. >> what we all want to see is more humanitarian aid getting into gaza. it's absolutely essential that that happens, that we see the release of hostages, but also in the long run that we get to a lasting

political of a viable political settlement of a viable palestinian state alongside a safe and secure israel. that's what we all want to see. so i do recognise is how colleagues feel about these issues. but i think humanitarian pauses and making sure that we have the opportunity for increased aid to get into gaza is the right approach. and think is what we approach. and i think is what we all want to see more aid getting in greater support. >> the foreign secretary says the government supports a humanitarian pause in the gaza strip above a wider ceasefire. speaking on the sidelines of the g7, foreign minister talks in japan, james cleverly told journalists a ceasefire would hamper israel's ability to defend itself. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has echoed those comments. >> we all agree that humanitarian pauses would advance key objectives to protect palestinian civilians , protect palestinian civilians, to increase the sustained flow of humanitarian assistance to allow our citizens and foreign nationals to exit and to facilitate the release of

hostages. i briefed my colleagues about my conversations with israeli leaders on pauses and on concrete steps to minimise harm to palestinian civilians in gaza and to stop extremist violence in the west bank. israel has repeatedly told us that there is no going back to october 6th, before the barbaric attacks by hamas . we fully agree . before the barbaric attacks by hamas . we fully agree. in before the barbaric attacks by hamas . we fully agree . in other hamas. we fully agree. in other news, commuters have been stuck in central london as police arrest . arrest. >> just stop oil protesters allegedly blocking traffic. more than 55 protesters marched on waterloo bridge. the group said having travelled from south wales and the north and south—west of england, the met police said an ambulance was caughtin police said an ambulance was caught in the traffic jam caused by the protest as officers arrested activists in a bid to clear the road . and the climate clear the road. and the climate group have pointed the finger at the police for the traffic build up, their demonstration the police for the traffic build up, the their demonstration the police for the traffic build up, the opposite|onstration the police for the traffic build up, the opposite sideration the police for the traffic build up, the opposite side of on the police for the traffic build up, the opposite side of the was on the opposite side of the road . this is gb news across the

the united kingdom. obviously, in terms of the protesters we'll talk more about in a moment. but in terms of potential terrorist threats now , i think it's worth threats now, i think it's worth saying that the current terror level remains unchanged at substantial, which means that an attack is highly likely early. it's possible that it may be raised to severe, which would mean an attack is likely soon or but that hasn't happened yet. now, in the meantime , of course, now, in the meantime, of course, a huge focus on armistice day. we're just a few hundred metres from the cenotaph here and real concerns about this pro—palestinian march, which is currently going ahead . now worth currently going ahead. now worth saying the organisers have assured sir mark rowley, the metropolitan chief commissioner , metropolitan chief commissioner, that it will be happening a couple of hours after the two minute silence at 11:00 and it will be nowhere near near whitehall . well now sir mark whitehall. well now sir mark rowley is saying at the moment he's not going to ask for it to

patrick christys on gb news. i'm gb news radio . and it's 1125. gb news radio. and it's1125. >> you're with britain's newsroom on gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner. >> so disney has defended its decision to recreate the aftermath of london's 77 bombings for a new drama after survivors branded the move shameful . shameful. >> disney, a disney spokesperson said the team producing this series significant expertise series has significant expertise in of program, in this type of program, incorporates extensive in—depth research that has been approached with the utmost sensitivity respect. all sensitivity and respect. all involved are conscious of the huge responsibility that comes with the story.

with telling the story. >> it has, of course, caused >> but it has, of course, caused a of controversy because a lot of controversy because some it's distasteful some say that it's distasteful to profit from such a tragedy . to profit from such a tragedy. >> so joining us now, i believe, are stephanie takyi and julie cook. good morning, ladies . cook. good morning, ladies. julie, you famously had a great grandfather. am i right? that was on the titanic . and was on the titanic. and therefore, of course, that has become with the passage of time, one of the longest , biggest, one of the longest, biggest, longest running and most successful movies of all time. this is no different. is it ? this is no different. is it? >> i think it is different. i think number one, when we look at movies like titanic, they were made well, certainly the james cameron one was many, many years after the tragedy. i think it's still too soon. but i also think this in particular, we've heard from actual people who are still alive, who suffered as a result of this tragedy, who were maimed or injured or lost limbs. as the bus driver this week came out saying that he thought it was distasteful and wouldn't be

watching . so i think, you know, watching. so i think, you know, the only people we should be listening to is them. if listening to is them. and if they say it's distasteful, then it is. but it's duty, isn't it history? >> it's happened. it was a major event, a major world event. and look, the crown is one of the most popular dramas most popular tv dramas on television in it's gone into great detail about the death of princess diana paris underpass to the horror of her children . to the horror of her children. but it still goes ahead and nobody would really consider banning they . banning that would they. >> yes, i agree. but i think we'll all agree as well that the crown is about a major a majorly famous family in the public domain already, all of which has already been in the public domain. this tragedy is about people who are not in the public domain, people who have private lives, people who have relatives who are still grieving for those lost. think very lost. i think it's very different. >> stephanie, i think we've sorted your audio so sorted your audio out now, so hopefully you can hear us. there is a long tradition, as andrew said, of dramatic events being

immortalised in cinema and i know that the image of the bus is distressing and would absolutely have been distressing to anybody that was involved and was a victim of that attack. to walk along and see that without warning. but we can't clamp down on drama being depicted, can we? >> no, and i don't think we should. i think drama has always imitated life. and i think it should continue to do so as long as it's respectful and as long as it's respectful and as long as it's respectful and as long as it's tasteful and think this is what this disney production is what this disney production is doing, you know, it's worked closely with, looked into the families. it's also got research to make sure that this production will be done respectively and sensitively as possible. the problem here is if we start erasing things from history, we're getting rid of facts. you know, 9/11, titanic, these are things that have all been brought to life. and i think people always tend to think people always tend to think it's under the guise of

entertaining people for people to get their kicks out of it. that's not what it's about. it's about promoting awareness. this particular series that disney are working on is about jean charles de mendez, so it's hardly focusing too much on the seven over seven bombings. it was a big failing of the metropolitan police 17 years ago and his family are still demanding justice. how do they get their message out there ? get their message out there? through dramas such as this? it bnngs through dramas such as this? it brings it back into the public's consciousness . yes. consciousness. yes. >> julie, i was just looking. we all remember the horror of the soho murders. those two lovely little girls. holly and jessica. and there was a drama made in 2022, just 20 years later, about that. what happened to those families . and that is only 20 families. and that is only 20 years. there wasn't much of an outcry over it . outcry over it. >> yes. and i was surprised at that because i think that was incredibly distaste awful. you know, i don't think enough time had passed. and i think it was an incredibly distressing, had passed. and i think it was an isay,iibly distressing, had passed. and i think it was an isay, storyiistressing, had passed. and i think it was an i say, story that ssing, had passed. and i think it was an isay, story that alllg, had passed. and i think it was an isay, story that all of us you say, story that all of us knew about. and i agree with the

sentiments of our other guests saying you know, this saying that, you know, this is about promoting awareness of what and, you know, what happened and, you know, facts. but i think those facts can be presented in a documentary form in a more fact based form without overdramatising. you know, i love drama , i love theatre, i love drama, i love theatre, i love drama, i love theatre, i love watching productions. but i don't think it aids really anyone's understanding necessarily of a tragedy like this. i think it can be done in a more factual way. >> we were brainstorming earlier, andrew and i a list of dramas which have been made of real life distressing events and it's very easy to do. >> i mean, we off the top of our heads came up with jeffrey dahmer, serial killer ted bundy. lewis bellfield was an itv drama, as we've drama, the crown, as we've already mentioned, jimmy saville jimmy saville, madeleine mccann story has been immortalised in drama. even stephen lawrence. and so i think maybe the reason this story has become such a big thing here is only because of the image of the bus on the street . it was such a powerful street. it was such a powerful image at the time of the

terrorist attack, and it remains a very strong image, perhaps. do you victims you think, julie, if the victims had been warned or even the people in the area had been warned that this was going to be filmed, that, of course, the council have made money out of it maybe that would it as well, and maybe that would have okay. have been okay. >> i think would have >> i don't think it would have been i think agree been okay, but i think i agree it definitely it would have definitely softened the somewhat. softened the blow somewhat. i mean, image, as you mean, i think that image, as you rightly bus, rightly say, of the bus, it bnngs rightly say, of the bus, it brings back memories every brings back memories for every single one i think we all single one of us. i think we all know we and that took know where we were and that took place. one, worked in place. i, for one, worked in central london at that time. and, we were and, you know, we were struggling to get home and walking use public walking and scared to use public transport our trains. walking and scared to use public tr'wasort our trains. walking and scared to use public tr'was an our trains. walking and scared to use public tr'was an awful our trains. walking and scared to use public tr'was an awful timerr trains. walking and scared to use public tr'was an awful time for'ains. it was an awful time for everybody and we were everybody in london and we were just, you know, people who heard about it . so i just, you know, people who heard about it. so i think that particular bus is a iconic particular bus is a real iconic symbol what happened . but but symbol of what happened. but but when mentioning those when you were mentioning those other don't other dramatisations, i don't think this means it's okay to do this one just because other dramatisations been dramatisations have been done before. think them are before. i think all of them are distasteful. frankly >> okay. thank you, ladies. really interesting. stephanie takyi. really interesting. stephanie takyi . hi and julie cook , takyi. hi there. and julie cook, do remember where you were?

do you remember where you were? >> i actually. was >> i was actually. i was actually in a to get actually in a queue to get a plane from france. and plane back from france. and somebody kept coming somebody some people kept coming up to i was and up to me and said to i was and said, something terrible said, there's something terrible going we've going on in london. and we've been ifs going on in london. and we've been it's the grid has been told it's the grid has failed. i said, it's a terror attack. >> you you just knew it >> did you you just knew it would have instinct. would have been instinct. >> absolutely yeah. >> absolutely instinct. yeah. because just implausible. because it was just implausible. you couldn't get a phone, you couldn't ring, you couldn't ring. mobiles were closed down because, of course, mobile phones, as we discovered, were involved the the terror attacks. >> of course. >> of course. >> yes, course. i'd forgotten >> yes, of course. i'd forgotten that detail, actually. yeah, right. come this right. still to come this morning, a poppy seller was attacked. elderly poppy attacked. an elderly poppy seller was punched and seller said he was punched and kicked pro—palestine kicked as pro—palestine protesters stayed outside a sit in at edinburgh's waverley train station at the weekend. >> shameful, isn't it? >> shameful, isn't it? >> and laughing you >> and laughing gas band. you might affect me, might think, doesn't affect me, but these but you would have seen these canisters you're watching canisters if you're watching here on you're listening here on tv. if you're listening on we're showing the on the radio, we're showing the canisters that often canisters that are often littered events . littered after certain events. it's nitrous oxide commonly known as laughing gas and it's going to become, according to

the king's speech criminal offence. >> that's a much more after your morning's tatiana morning's news with tatiana sanchez. >> beth, thank you very much. this is the latest from the newsroom rishi sunak says he'll hold the met police commissioner accountable for his decision to greenlight a pro—palestinian demonstration to take place on armistice day. the prime minister will meet sir mark rowley to discuss the issue later today. the commissioner says intelligence surrounding the potential for serious disorder this weekend does not meet the threshold to apply to prohibit the march. rishi sunak enoch says the marches are disrespectful and this is a decision that the metropolitan police commissioner has made and he has said that he can ensure that he safeguards remembrance for the country this weekend as well as keep the public safe. >> now my job is to hold him accountable for that. and we've asked the police for information on how will ensure that on how they will ensure that this and i'll be meeting

this happens and i'll be meeting the police the metropolitan police commissioner later today to discuss . and more broadly, discuss this. and more broadly, you know, view that these you know, my view is that these marches are disrespectful. all a war memorial in rochdale is being guarded by police after protesters sprayed a free palestine graffiti across its base. >> greater manchester police said the cenotaph was vandalised and poppies were removed yesterday afternoon , noon. it's yesterday afternoon, noon. it's currently a crime scene . the currently a crime scene. the force and rochdale council have condemned the vandalism as criminal disrespect and totally unacceptable . a report to a uk unacceptable. a report to a uk police counter—terrorism hotline have more than doubled since hamas launched its attack on israel . police say the hotline israel. police say the hotline received just over 1300 reports between the seventh and 25th of october, more than twice the number of contacts compared to the same period last year. the national counter—terrorism squad that monitors material online has also seen a rise in referrals with almost 2000 made by the public since the attack .

causing public nuisance . our causing public nuisance. our northwest reporter sophie reaper is in rochdale. hi sophie. how are how have the local communities greeted this vandalism ? i'm well. vandalism? i'm well. >> good morning to you both. the tension here in rochdale this morning is palpable , as you say, morning is palpable, as you say, after that vandalism yesterday. i've been speaking to people here in rochdale this morning. they're telling me that their disgust , that they're sickened. disgust, that they're sickened. but one thing that groups them all together is that they all refuse to appear on camera. now, that's interesting because it shows exactly how tense things are. i think one woman described it really rather succinctly when she said, because this is such a contentious issue , too, she felt contentious issue, too, she felt it was unsafe for her to appear on camera giving her views on this. now greater manchester police are still investigating this. there are several pcsos patrolling the area , making sure patrolling the area, making sure something like this doesn't happen again. of course , this happen again. of course, this isn't the first incident of its

nature and as we approach remembrance weekend, this kind of thing is really hitting rather close to home. and it's something that prime minister rishi sunak has commented on earlier today. rishi sunak has commented on earlier today . and here's what earlier today. and here's what he had to say . he had to say. >> the desecration of war memorials absolutely memorials is absolutely sickening . this weekend will be sickening. this weekend will be about the country coming together to pay tribute and recognise the sacrifice of so many over so many years. that's what i'll be doing and i think that's what the vast majority of this country will be doing this weekend, marking that moment. >> this is clearly something that close to the that is cutting close to the bonein that is cutting close to the bone in this country. we are so proud of our veterans of the poppy proud of our veterans of the poppy appeal and remembrance weekend. so like this are weekend. so things like this are not going to go unnoticed . not going to go unnoticed. >> thank you, sophie. the superb sophie reaper there in rochdale . sophie reaper there in rochdale. well, well done. emma webb and stephen pound are here with us. i think the most chilling part of emma, the fact that of that, emma, is the fact that the people who aren't happy about don't they say about it don't feel they can say that. what that? in 2023 uk that. what is that? in 2023 uk

if censorship and fear? if not censorship and fear? >> well that that is >> well that shows that this is not happening not about what's happening in israel is israel and palestine. this is about here and a lot people about here and a lot of people have pointing this out over have been pointing this out over the so, that this the last month or so, that this is this is about a failure of integration and that of integration and that all of these other things, but fundamental if fundamental entally this if people feel safe to stand people do not feel safe to stand up for not defacing cenotaphs for i've noticed that there are a lot of people this year in london who are not wearing poppies, and i don't know if that's because maybe they're being less or perhaps that's because maybe they're being don't ss or perhaps that's because maybe they're being don't feel' perhaps that's because maybe they're being don't feel safe1aps that's because maybe they're being don't feel safe toys that's because maybe they're being don't feel safe to wear people don't feel safe to wear them. i'm sure, think them. i'm not sure, but i think if don't safe if people don't feel safe to come something come out and support something thatis come out and support something that is so under political as as remember this day and the fact actually i think and this is this is important we saw that pathetic pleading pretty please from the police to the organisers of the march this saturday on armistice day . but saturday on armistice day. but fundamentally those who have decided to go ahead with this march are doing so knowing that

thatis march are doing so knowing that that is a grave and spiteful disrespect to the people of this country to and our ancestors. and when you see people graffitiing statues like the one in rochdale or you see those who are knocking down the wreaths that are being put up on these monuments, they are doing this to hurt us and they are making people feel afraid to stand up and support you know, simply just to support our right to remember our war dead. and i think it is so profoundly wrong. it tells us that something is very, very, very wrong in our country. >> a word to remember. >> a word to remember. >> and i agree with that. if anybody tried that in greenford, they'd be walking with a limp for the rest of their lives if we them. we caught them. >> tell you that here and >> i can tell you that here and now. tell you what's now. but i'll tell you what's interesting this the interesting about this is the reason attacking the reason they're attacking the cenotaph. the reason they're attacking the cen

they attacking. it's they stand for attacking. it's much easier a brick much easier to throw a brick through it is to through a window than it is to make a window. what it make a window. and so what it actually the actually means is the importance, significance, importance, the significance, the of cenotaph the symbolism of that cenotaph to all the to the glorious dead and all the individual ones commemorating those who gave those men and women who gave their freedom, who their lives for freedom, who gave their lives. it is so important that lice, these important that these lice, these insect , actually feel that they insect, actually feel that they can deface and attack them. >> and if they did a bit of homework did bit of homework and did a bit of history, stephen, might history, stephen, they might discover their discover quite a lot of their muslim great muslim grandparents, great grandparents , died in the second grandparents, died in the second world war. >> some of them, some of the most heroic soldiers. look at the that were the number of vcs that were given sikhs and pakistanis. given to sikhs and pakistanis. look at this. there's a pakistani war memorial. there's a sikh war memorial. just down by brighton. >> course, they're to >> of course, they're going to say that that's colonialism and they'll find way to wrap that up. >> but they're the cretins who do what do this, even know what colonialism means. >> that it's >> well, i think that it's historical ignorance . historical ignorance. >> a lot of these people don't know the first thing about israel or palestine. they probably been there. probably never even been there. a are boycotting a lot of them are boycotting certain products also certain products whilst also using them or wearing them. i

mean, they don't know what they're doing, but we've seen also this week we've seen a poppy also this week we've seen a poppy seller being an elderly poppy poppy seller being an elderly poppy seller being an elderly poppy seller being an elderly poppy seller being attacked. we've seen on the photographer stuart mitchell was down in in liverpool street station filmed a what was happening there with the poppy sellers and you could see from his footage that they were surrounded on all sides in close quarters with these people chanting whilst they're sitting there just simply trying to sell poppies. it really is. >> they looked bewildered and scared and they were elderly ish, weren't they? >> yeah. and it's it is cross station actually and i can cross and i think it shows the, the sort of like spitefulness, the degree of hatred against this country and it's all become wrapped up in the conflict that's taking place between israel and palestine . but it israel and palestine. but it really is also just a

continuation of what we've seen over the last couple of years. >> the question, has this opened the door to something that already existed or is it something new? >> steven, there's the photo on the that charing the screen that makes charing cross sad. look, look cross station so sad. look, look at those two ladies. >> those are women out in the cold their to cold have given up their time to actually support royal actually support the royal british legion to support british legion and to support our and look at our armed forces and look at them being surrounded by these slack dragging , slack jawed knuckle dragging, monobrow . monobrow thugs. >> i think actually it's interesting that the two that have defaced the cenotaph in rochdale were teenagers because i think they alleged i don't think they alleged alleged sorry. i don't think that schools know how to handle this topic because my kids schools will talk about everything all the gender politics, all identity stuff politics, all the identity stuff that's very fashionable. however, my 14 year however, i said to my 14 year old, you discussed this war old, have you discussed this war at school? she no, not at at school? she said, no, not at all. really? not at all. and i think that's that fear think that's because that fear that there from that we just heard there from sophie people sophie reaper about the people that to, i think that she's speaking to, i think a teachers, they feel a lot of teachers, they feel this is so complex and so historical, all that there historical, all that and there is so much nuance in who threw

the first stone. and i mean, we know that this the trigger for this, course , was the this, of course, was the atrocities of the 7th of october. it has a very, very october. but it has a very, very long, long history. debate. october. but it has a very, very longso>ng history. debate. october. but it has a very, very longso i|g history. debate. october. but it has a very, very longso i think ory. debate. october. but it has a very, very longso i think with debate. october. but it has a very, very longso i think with children|te. october. but it has a very, very longso i think with children ,e. and so i think with children, we're not discussing this. >> well, it's interesting. >> well, it's interesting. >> i'm the president of >> i mean, i'm the president of the british in the royal british legion in greenford. next friday greenford. and next next friday morning, i'm speaking to the pupils hanborough primary pupils at hanborough primary school, which overwhelmingly, school, which is overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly sikh and south asian. in that school, i mean, 90. and the teachers have asked me to come in because of this very, very point. now, we're not going talk necessarily about going to talk necessarily about gaza, but we're actually going going to talk necessarily about gaza, tabout re actually going going to talk necessarily about gaza, tabout the ctually going going to talk necessarily about gaza, tabout the nationality,g to talk about the nationality, the comradeship, the importance of actually fighting for something that you believe in, freedom and freedom speech. freedom and freedom of speech. and those are and so i think those are important things. >> would you not mention gaza, stephen, just because if they're at with mum and the at home with mum and dad and the news yeah, ten minutes of news is on. yeah, ten minutes of the tv bulletin, the radio the tv bulletin, all the radio bulletin to be about the tv bulletin, all the radio bul|war. to be about the tv bulletin, all the radio bul|war. and to be about the tv bulletin, all the radio bul|war. and you to be about the tv bulletin, all the radio bul|war. and you mightabout the tv bulletin, all the radio bul|war. and you might perhaps the war. and you might perhaps give it some context. well, i was talking yesterday about the fact david fact that, you know, david and goliath gaza. goliath took place in gaza. >> remember the eyeless in gaza?

you was you know, gaza appears there was three gaza, know, three battles of gaza, you know, that were fought the that were fought under the british allenby. and british under allenby. and so i do it in historical do put it in that historical context it's very, very context. but it's very, very difficult people difficult when people have utterly positions and utterly entrenched positions and you realise that there you suddenly realise that there are number of in this are a number of people in this country doesn't matter country who it doesn't matter what the israelis do, they will always be the the always be in the wrong. the palestinians do, they'll always be i think be in the right. and i think ultimately about hatred ultimately it's about a hatred of country. of this country. >> briefly, because earlier >> you briefly, because earlier this earlier this morning, we talked earlier about happening about what was happening on waterloo bridge. a paramedic responding death responding to a life and death emergency the to emergency begged the police to let guess who it let him through. guess who it was? emma and stephen. just stop oil protest. let's look . oil protest. let's take a look. now the voice we could hear was the paramedic appealing for the police to let him or her get through? we had yesterday, stephen, in the studio , a stephen, in the studio, a spokesman for just stop oil, stephen, in the studio, a spokesman for just stop oil , who spokesman for just stop oil, who is a gp who went to great

lengths to say how his job every day is to protect people's lives. and that's what does. lives. and that's what he does. and out that we know and i pointed out that we know of ambulances that have not been able to get through hospitals able to get through to hospitals with with people who are very sick in the back because of just and he said it wasn't true. and i said, you're lying. >> he should hang his head in shame . shame. >> i'm not entirely sure we want people like that in the nhs. but i also think how remarkable for somebody generation when i also think how remarkable for som actually generation when i also think how remarkable for som actually see generation when i also think how remarkable for som actually see newsration when i also think how remarkable for som actually see news happening| you actually see news happening and then minutes later it's on gb news, the national broadcaster, a minutes later, i that actually brings it home to people and any of just people and how any of the just stop can actually stop oil people can actually look that and say that look at that and say that they're in what they're justified in what they're justified in what they're doing is utterly beyond they're justified in what they're do shouldrtterly beyond they're justified in what they're do should rtterly away nd shame. >> do pm- shame. >> do think ? stephen >> what do you think? stephen makes interesting point. makes a very interesting point. he's not sure they want people out and then he says is out there and then he says he is a gp whose other is be a a gp whose otherjob is to be a spokesman to defend these appalling tactics of this appalling tactics of this appalling organisation. >> well, mean the hippocratic >> well, i mean the hippocratic oath do no harm. oath first, do no harm. i doctors should be standing up if

you are a doctor and you are involved in just stop oil or you're a nurse or you're involved in the medical profession in any way, even with your involved movement in that protest, you should be advocating for them to move out of way of an ambulance. i of the way of an ambulance. i mean, it just shows how unbelievably this these unbelievably callous this these protesters that they're so protesters are that they're so ideological that they are willing to put other people's lives at risk because they believe that their cause is more it's more hypocritical than hypocritical. precisely. and it's it's the same it's the same. it's the same with way that behave with the way that they behave around you know , around heritage with, you know, damaging art, that kind of thing. they believe that nothing is more important than the pursuit of their ideological objectives . and i think it shows objectives. and i think it shows how callous they are . so i think how callous they are. so i think stephen's right. don't stephen's quite right. i don't think somebody is. i wouldn't trust somebody who works in the medical profession who wouldn't step the way of an step out of the way of an ambulance put somebody's ambulance and put somebody's life or health. >> the supporting gp in >> the hamas supporting gp in surrey last week. you know, i wouldn't want anybody in my family. >> well, he should be struck
