over her role in the nigel farage de—banking scandal. she was in line for an exit package of more than £10 million, but the board of the partly taxpayer owned banking group has decided to pay her 1.7 million. dame alison says shes pleased the bank has cleared her of misconduct . the duke of sussex's misconduct. the duke of sussex's privacy case against the daily mail publisher can continue in the high court. prince harry brought action against associated newspapers limited alongside sir elton john. baroness doreen lawrence and four others. they claim it carried out unlawful information gathering and says the legal challenges against it have been brought far too late . but mr brought far too late. but mr justice nicklin says the claimants have a real prospect of demonstrating the newsgroup concealed relevant facts that would have allowed them to bring a claim sooner. the uk economy failed to grow between july and september . that's according to september. that's according to new ons figures , as many new ons figures, as many analysts had been predicting a

left the company in july following the fallout from the de—banking row with farage and today natwest has said she's not being considered not to be a quote, good leaver following her departure and will therefore not receive most of the discretionary parts of her pay package. nigel farage, i think, joins us now. nigel nigel, you're at home. you're are you pleased? you're smiling now. why are you smiling? nigel farage. >> well, i am very , very long >> well, i am very, very long fight indeed. i mean , she broke fight indeed. i mean, she broke every rule in the financial conduct authority rulebook. she breached my confidentiality. she told a complete lie about my financial situation , much to the financial situation, much to the amusement of my enemies . i was amusement of my enemies. i was then forced to publish a subject access request , which then forced to publish a subject access request, which contained access request, which contained a lot of very unpleasant and indeed deeply defamatory comment about me. and i had to do that to prove that the real reason i'd been debunked was because my

views did not align with those of the bank. so i'm afraid that the queen of woke has finally been caught out and that is a very, very good thing , not just very, very good thing, not just for me and my fight, but for the taxpayer. remember, we own nearly 40% of this bank, so i think it's right out that this has happened to have rewarded her with nearly £11 million in a pay her with nearly £11 million in a pay off would have been absolutely wrong, given the extent to which she's failed in her duties. but please don't feel too sorry for her because she's still going to walk away with about £25 million. >> but nigel natwest have been very clear that there's been no finding of misconduct against dame allison. is that really worth £7.6 million? i mean , your worth £7.6 million? i mean, your issues were discussed privately with another journalist, but with anotherjournalist, but it's a lot of money, isn't it? look she broke client confidentiality. >> the report was clear. >> the report was clear. >> natwest breached the data privacy laws. >> they then said, ah, but it

wasn't dame alison that we were investigating. >> just natwest bank. >> just natwest bank. >> well, how on earth else did the bbc find out about this? not only that , they lied only that, they lied consistently by saying that i've been offered an alternative arrangement with natwest bank. that was not true. again the subject access request showed i was to be closed out by coutts that i wasn't suitable as a client of natwest. they only offered that account later on oncei offered that account later on once i went public. they have behaved appallingly and the board. the board decided to keep her on as the chief executive until the government intervened on behalf of us. the taxpayer, and then they had to reconvene in a second board meeting that evening to get rid of it. they've all behaved terribly. they've all behaved terribly. they tried to cover the whole thing up with a ludicrous report by a city law firm called travers smith, headed up by a rabid remainer. travers smith, headed up by a rabid remainer . and right rabid remainer. and right throughout this , what you see is throughout this, what you see is a large a failing , large,

a large a failing, large, failing corporate company that we at the minute are on the hook for over £30 billion. that's the extent of their failure . that's extent of their failure. that's the cost to all of us as taxpayers. and they thought that that they were big enough and ugly enough to fight me off. well i've proved they weren't . well i've proved they weren't. >> and with this announcement today, nigel, how would you feel if dame alison rose ever tried to reach out to you privately over this? or maybe she has already . already. >> no, she hasn't. and i don't suppose she would. doesn't like people like me. i'm a brexiteer. i believe in britain, you know, i believe in britain, you know, i don't believe in diversity and inclusion. quotas i believe people should be promoted in terms of ability. so it's very unlikely that she will reach out . if she did, of course , i would . if she did, of course, i would talk to her. >> nigel, you are looking very chilled out today. very relaxed . chilled out today. very relaxed. i just wonder whether it's because you're spending a bit of time at home doing some packing,

maybe got a little trip on the honzon maybe got a little trip on the horizon . horizon. >> oh, i'd love to go on holiday . i really honestly , truly . i really honestly, truly would. we just have to see, won't we? you know, i have a contract here in front of me and. and i'm considering what next to it, nigel? >> well, there is a pen here, but i haven't signed it now on air. >> nigel, i haven't decided. >> nigel, i haven't decided. >> i haven't decided. i've got more thinking to do. i really have.it more thinking to do. i really have. it would be to do this programme. would be a very big gamble. i'm giving it very, very, very serious thought. >> you haven't got long. it starts a week on sunday. >> i know, but there approached me. but they approached me very late. they approached me very late. they approached me very late and since 2016 the programme have regularly been in touch. there's been loads of speculation about me doing it, but they approached me very late. perhaps somebody dropped out at the last minute. maybe i'm just an afterthought. i don't know. um, but there hasn't been very much time to really make a bid it a big make a bid and it is a big decision and you know, i'll make

it at some point today. >> just. just, just finally, when will you decide, nigel? when's moment at which when's the moment at which you'll right, put pen you'll say, right, put pen to papen you'll say, right, put pen to paper. yes no. paper. yes or no. >> some today. >> at some point today. >> at some point today. >> oh. >> oh. >> ooh. >> ooh. >> it could be later today. you'll hear it here on gb news. >> you first. exactly right. well, nigel farage from kent, thank you for joining well, nigel farage from kent, thank you forjoining us well, nigel farage from kent, thank you for joining us today on gb news. thank you. in other news, serious news. pippa news, a more serious news. pippa rishi is under pressure rishi sunak is under pressure over his handling of the home secretary's article in the times, accusing of times, accusing the police of bias protests. suella bias over protests. suella braverman's future is hanging in the balance this weekend. >> allies on the right of the party are warning the prime minister that if you come for her, you come for us. while northern ireland politicians claim she's managed to offend everyone and has to go . everyone and has to go. >> speaking earlier, the chancellor , jeremy hunt, chancellor, jeremy hunt, distanced himself from suella bravermans choice of language . bravermans choice of language. here's what he said. >> well, as many other cabinet ministers have said , the words ministers have said, the words that she used are not words that i myself would have used. but i

have a productive relationship with her as a colleague, and i've always given her the money that she needs to fund the police , bring down crime and to police, bring down crime and to fund the immigration and asylum system . system. >> so that was a chancellor, a little earlier. well, let's go to westminster and speak with our political correspondent, olivia utley . good afternoon, olivia utley. good afternoon, olivia. how shaky, then, is the ground underneath suella braverman this lunchtime ? braverman this lunchtime? >> well, it's pretty shaky, but the truth is that rishi sunak at the truth is that rishi sunak at the moment is really stuck between a rock and a hard place. it's thought that there are around 40 or mps on the right around 40 or 50 mps on the right of the party who are properly staunch allies of home staunch allies of the home secretary would up secretary and would kick up a real fuss if she were to be sacked. but the left of the sacked. but on the left of the party or the moderate wing of the party, if you like, there are another 40 or 50 mps who are furious with the home secretary who are briefing out against her. said that her. there's one who said that she's deranged said that she's deranged, who said that she's deranged, who said that she's who that she's combustible, who said that she's combustible, who said that she's fit for the role of

she's not fit for the role of a conservative home secretary who will absolutely furious if will be absolutely furious if rishi sunak doesn't sack the home secretary so he's in a very difficult position this weekend. to make matters worse, there is a theory in westminster that suella braverman would actually rather like to be sacked to write that article without the full signoff from number 10. it does seem to be a bit of an invitation to the prime minister to get rid of her. it could well be that knowing that there is an election coming knowing that election coming up, knowing that the likely the conservatives are likely to lose and in lose that election and in that eventuality , rishi sunak would eventuality, rishi sunak would step down. so braverman step down. so alla braverman is thinking three steps ahead and is hoping to be the person who rises to the forefront of the conservative party and becomes the next leader of the opposition. to do that, opposition. now to do that, achieving sort of political martyrdom , being sacked for martyrdom, being sacked for saying something which she at least believes is what the rest of country are thinking of the country are thinking would her purposes quite would suit her purposes quite well. so there a danger for well. so there is a danger for rishi sunak that chooses to rishi sunak that he chooses to hold her, that he stands hold on to her, that he stands up and i have full up again and says, i have full confidence in the home secretary

and days from now and then in a few days from now she resign makes she could resign anyway. makes his position very, very difficult indeed . he'd also of difficult indeed. he'd also of course, he doesn't really want to lose his home secretary before this weekend, having a brand new home secretary in the post just just when these tensions are set to reach boiling point over this weekend would be very difficult indeed . would be very difficult indeed. and of course, that rwanda legislation that suella braverman has been championing that policy to send migrants who come here illegally over to rwanda while their claims are being processed is going to the supreme now supreme court next week. now obviously, he wants the home secretary, who has pushed this through by his side. while all of that's happening . so the of that's happening. so the prime minister has a lot to be weighing the weekend . weighing up over the weekend. and course, the more he and of course, the more he waits, he stands to the waits, the more he stands to the risk of allegations that he's dilly dallying and that he doesn't have the power to remove her anyway . and weakness is her anyway. and weakness is something which he really wants to olivia , what are you hearing >> olivia, what are you hearing in westminster about the likelihood of a of a reshuffle?

maybe over this weekend being briefed sunday papers or briefed to sunday papers or maybe monday ? maybe even on monday? >> there are rumours. there have been rumours for a long time now about a reshuffle. they are hotting up and there are there are thoughts that it could be on monday . it's thought that robert monday. it's thought that robert jenrick, who's the immigration minister, could be shuffled into the position of home secretary. there are those who i have spoken to quite, quite close to to the the home secretary's office who say that actually robert is the one who robert jenrick is the one who does the work in the does most of the work in the home office and that suella braverman is more sort of braverman is more a sort of figurehead is useful for figurehead and is useful for rishi to have that rishi sunak to have in that position because sort of position because it sort of gives meat to the right gives some red meat to the right of his party. so it could be that over this weekend the prime minister that enough minister decides that enough is enough, goes for a whole reshuffle weekend and reshuffle at the weekend and puts robert jenrick into that position. but of course there's a school of thought which rishi sunak must buy into sunak must must buy into a little bit himself, that having someone like suella braverman on the backbenches with 50 or 60 mps behind her could be more

dangerous for him than having her side . her by his side. >> olivia utley thank you very much , chris. what did you make much, chris. what did you make of that suggestion potentially ? of that suggestion potentially? >> robert jenrick i think that wouldn't wouldn't help the right. i mean, olivia makes a very good point there about there's 50 or 60 tory mps on the right who want suella braverman in there. in fact, she's in there. and in fact, she's she's for reason. she she's there for a reason. she she's there for a reason. she she came out to support rishi sunak in october year sunak back in october last year in leadership election she in a leadership election she bnngs in a leadership election she brings her this alliance of brings with her this alliance of support and jenrick is not a right winger. so i'm not sure if that works. i think she's an extraordinary person. suella braverman is. is braverman she is. she is authentic and the right love for her and the members love her. so that's what's her value, i think, the party. think, to the party. >> okay, we'll hopefully pick this up again in the next hour. but this furore of course, centres protests. the centres on the protests. the rally tomorrow in central london on armistice day, and according to the organisers , as more than to the organisers, as more than half a million people are expected march hyde park expected to march from hyde park at midday tomorrow the us

at midday tomorrow to the us embassy demanding a ceasefire in gaza as the row over suella braverman claims about bias in the met's approach to protesters rumbles on. >> one of the uk's most senior police officers has defended the right for police chief to make independent operational decisions. joining us now is met police former met police officer feed me and author graham whetton. graham hello there. do you feel sympathetic to , uh, to you feel sympathetic to, uh, to the to your colleague, your former colleagues on the front line? it's a very difficult day tomorrow, yeah and tomorrow, isn't it? yeah and that's what they're going to be focussed that's what they're going to be foclased that's what they're going to be foc|a difficult challenge for the >> a difficult challenge for the commissioner of the week. >> he set out the legal threshold for banning the march and the police have actually asked the organisers organisers not they declined. not to go ahead. they declined. >> that leaves police in >> so that leaves the police in a difficult position. >> met and they >> if you haven't met and they haven't legal threshold to haven't the legal threshold to ban the march under section 12 of the public order act, then they with the they have to work with the organisers actually police organisers and actually police organisers and actually police or facilitate that march, that procession it procession which is why it starts hour the starts an hour after the armistice day, two minute's silence a on route

silence and goes on a on a route well away whitehall , well well away from whitehall, well away the cenotaph. so away from the cenotaph. so they'll to they'll have to aspects to police itself police there. the march itself and then whitehall and the cenotaph . cenotaph. >> how harder or not do you >> how much harder or not do you think it is going to be for officers to police the rally tomorrow? because of suella braverman's article and her comments ? comments? >> well, clearly everybody's been talking about it since that article came out before the article came out before the article came out and then even more since. so it's clearly increased tension. it's increased tension. it's increased emotions . it's a very increased emotions. it's a very emotive subject anyway , divides emotive subject anyway, divides the nation to a certain extent whether the march should take place, whether should be place, whether it should be allowed it regardless allowed anyway. it regardless of the a remembrance the fact it was a remembrance weekend. the last weekend, a weekend. so the last weekend, a few weekends, people been few weekends, people have been questioning whether such marches should it's should take place. so it's actually it actually just increases it. it increases the tension, makes it far more challenging. the police are well aware of the challenges they face. they've never said there's be no disorder there's going to be no disorder at this weekend. the at all this weekend. the threshold banning march threshold for banning the march is serious disorder. they're probably there probably fully expecting there to confrontations . we

to be some confrontations. we see disorder, minor see minor disorder, minor confrontations in the last few weekends, but they haven't reached level serious reached the level of serious disorder. that's the that's disorder. and that's the that's the criteria for banning. so they've ahead with they've got to go ahead with policing it. they've got to go ahead safeguarding ahead with safeguarding the cenotaph. their cenotaph. that will be their focus this weekend. the job focus for this weekend. the job at they'll ignore of at hand, they'll ignore some of the comments that have been made. the home secretary speech, the officers on the ground, which is focussed their role which is focussed on their role for weekend . for the weekend. >> graham you think that some >> graham do you think that some police officers on the front line with suella line do agree with suella braverman that braverman they do think that they forced have they are being forced to have a double approach towards double standard approach towards policing. not policing. they may or may not agree it, that's the agree with it, but that's the position they're in. >> if you mean about a double standard in treating protest differently, don't . we differently, they don't. we literally, turn up literally, when we turn up another many of these i another police, many of these i used to write the intelligence reports pre—event reports from the pre—event intel reports and do the briefings. there different way you there is no different way you police protest. you police police a protest. you police each based you each protest based on what you have the time, the risk and have at the time, the risk and the threat you so there's the threat you face. so there's no like you don't turn up to a police, be it a right or left wing or an environmental

wing or even an environmental protest differently than you protest any differently than you do other. you deal with what do any other. you deal with what you face the it you face at the time. if it escalates, people start escalates, if people start having confrontation, then you deal with as it happens. deal with that. as it happens. you approach any you don't you don't approach any of any of these protests any differently. almost like differently. it's almost like a reactive of policing. it's reactive form of policing. it's very challenging. it's very difficult. moving difficult. it's very fast moving on , the team on the day, the command team have very astute and aware have to be very astute and aware of what's going on. the officers have to be very calm and very professional. i'm sure they'll approach they do approach tomorrow as they do every other protest they've dean every other protest they've dealt london. are dealt with in london. they are highly well , highly experienced at this well, let's hope so. >> look, graham whetstone, a former police officer and former police police officer and author, you joining us author, thank you for joining us on today . on gb news today. >> you are watching and listening to gb news. coming up, thousands of gazans are moving south out of gaza city as israeli tanks roll deeper into the gaza strip. >> israel claims it's opened up an evacuation corridor. we'll speak with a spokesperson

eamonn and isabel monday to thursdays from six till 930 . thursdays from six till 930. >> welcome back to gb news live with christopher hope and pip tomson. now let's bring you the latest from the israel—hamas war because we do understand that the biggest hospital in the gaza strip and another with children on life support is coming under israeli bombardment. that is coming from the world health organisation. 20 hospitals in gaza are now out of action entirely . entirely. >> that's right. there's a warning here for the medical aid for palestinians, warning of an

imminent threat against hospitals in northern part of gaza. it's a real worry and we're sure . we're not sure. >> well, let's talk to alon levy to get more on this . alon is a to get more on this. alon is a spokesperson for the israeli government . good afternoon to government. good afternoon to you, alon . can you shed any you, alon. can you shed any light on this about the hospitals that are being hit by these airstrikes , children on these airstrikes, children on life support coming under bombardment ? bombardment? >> first of all, i should say there is no reason for civilians , much less children still to be in northern gaza. >> it's been 28 days now since israel started urging people in northern gaza to evacuate to the south temporarily for their safety and the reason is that hamas is embedded itself deep under civilian areas , under under civilian areas, under schools, under people's homes. we found a tunnel shaft under a child's bed and hamas. we found a tunnel shaft under a child's bed and hamas . s main child's bed and hamas. s main headquarters is located underneath the shifa hospital. it's in the basement of the shifa hospital. so we've been urging them for a month to get out of harm's way. for six days

now, we've been securing a humanitarian corridor in order for people to be able to leave. we're glad that most of the people in northern gaza have gotten out of the way. we're gotten out of the way. and we're calling civilians who calling on all the civilians who were still in northern gaza. it's still small minority. it's still a small minority. please the way. please get out of the way. evacuate to the south temporarily safety temporarily for your safety until it's safe to go back. hamas whole strategy is based around human shields. it's about hiding underneath civilians, just like their main headquarters are located underneath the hospital. we want civilians out of the way so we can face hamas. man to man and make them pay for the for the massacre of october 7th. >> elianne i just wonder, though, when you do have children on life support , babies children on life support, babies on incubators , how easy is it to on incubators, how easy is it to move them? we have no doubt that it is very difficult to evacuate a civilian population , but it is a civilian population, but it is preferable to evacuate them than to leave them in a war zone . to leave them in a war zone. >> unfortunately, hamas declared war on us on october 7th with that horrific massacre . we wish that horrific massacre. we wish

we weren't in this situation . we we weren't in this situation. we didn't want this war. we didn't start this war. we didn't expect this but hamas dragged this war. but hamas has dragged us it and it is fighting us us into it and it is fighting us out of densely populated urban areas. for us areas. and it's important for us because know that hamas is because we know that hamas is a terror regime that explicitly uses people as human shields . uses people as human shields. we're doing everything we can to get civilians out of harm's way. it is, of course, a war crime for hamas to use medical units like hospitals in order to shield their military targets. and we think that if the international community were doing job, it would be doing its job, it would be helping evacuation helping us with these evacuation efforts civilians out of efforts to get civilians out of harm's way. instead of increasing obstacles and keeping civilians in the line of fire, where hamas is able to use them as human shields in this despicable, evil manner. >> ellen, we're a lot >> ellen, we're hearing a lot about four hour pauses in about these four hour pauses in northern allowing, as you northern gaza, allowing, as you say, the say, people to flee the hostilities. is the next hostilities. when is the next one or is one underway now? it's underway right now for day six in a row, israel has been facilitating a humanitarian corridor . corridor. >> it's open from 9:00 this

morning till 4:00 in the afternoon. that's seven hours, not four. and this is an area that israeli soldiers are actively securing. just a few days ago, our troops came under attack from hamas. hamas terrorists fired mortars at our soldiers who were helping civilians get out of harm's way, physically interposing themselves between the terrorists and the humans. they're trying to use as human shields . and we're urging shields. and we're urging everyone, please get out of the way. we don't want you to be in harm's way the fighting harm's way because the fighting where is embedded itself where hamas is embedded itself in areas is going to in civilian areas is going to get brutal. but to talk to pippa's point there, if you are is a baby in hospital, in an incubator , how can they possibly incubator, how can they possibly be moved in the in these periods in these these pauses you're describing ? we know that this is describing? we know that this is very difficult. israel also has its own internally displaced person problem. by the way, we have 250,000 evacuees, a quarter of a million people who've been forced to flee their homes, including elderly people, including elderly people, including sick people. i'll tell you something else. was just

you something else. it was just two since a hamas rocket two weeks since a hamas rocket hit the barzilai hospital in ashkelon. it hit the maternity ward. do you know why? no one was killed in that attack? because we had proactively taken the baby incubators and put them in the basement of the hospital to keep them safe. that's something they can't do in gaza because the basement of the shifa is hamas shifa hospital is hamas headquarters. so if they can't put baby incubators in the put the baby incubators in the basement that is where basement because that is where hamas asking hamas is hiding, we're asking them out harm's way them to get out of harm's way again, we know difficult, again, we know it's difficult, but being in but it's preferable to being in an zone where where an active war zone where where hamas has dragged israel into this war the october 7th this war with the october 7th massacre. i should add, massacre. and i should add, because is evading because this is evading coverage, 9500 rockets on our cities in the last month, including a massive barrage at tel aviv in just the last hour, i had to run to a rocket shelter just in the last hour from those rockets. >> but maybe some might suggest the difference is, that in the difference is, is that in israel , people the difference is, is that in israel, people are the difference is, is that in israel , people are not the difference is, is that in israel, people are not penned in euanne israel, people are not penned in elianne like they are in gaza . elianne like they are in gaza. >> asking them to >> but we're asking them to evacuate to the south for their safety. we want them to get out

of harm's way because northern gazais of harm's way because northern gaza is where hamas has spent 16 years building a terror state where it has built tunnels , where it has built tunnels, shafts that literally open underneath children's bedrooms. but you cannot you cannot assure people that the south is 100% safe, though, can you? >> nowhere in gaza is safe, according to people that live there under . there under. >> fortunately, hamas has spent the last 16 years fighting out of densely populated urban areas , and we think it is despicable that they've put civilians in harm's way like that . that's why harm's way like that. that's why we're continuing go after we're continuing to go after hamas to destroy its terror state, to make sure it can terrorise our people no longer to end its reign of terror inside gaza. and we're doing everything can keep everything we can to keep civilians of harm's way civilians out of harm's way because we want them to be because we don't want them to be heard. is not a war with heard. this is not a war with the palestinian people. it is a war with hamas. the same hamas that declared war on us the that declared war on us with the october 7th massacre. that's the evil regime we plan evil terror regime we plan to destroy. state destroy. that's the terror state we . we plan to dismantle. >> can i just ask you as well about latest situation about the latest situation regarding the hostages, 240

hostages, as we understand, held by hamas. there is a suggestion that two of them could be released, one of them, a 12 year old boy called yagel, kharkov, could be released due to health reasons . reasons. >> israeli society is worried sick at the moment about the fate of the 240 hostages we're talking about over 30 children. not just that one child, over ten children under the age of five. there are children there who are literally orphaned because hamas murdered their parents in front of them and snatched them from their arms. there's a ten month old baby in there and we're doing everything we can to get them back safe. we're their immediate we can to get them back safe. we'runconditionaltheir immediate we can to get them back safe. we'runconditional return.1mediate we can to get them back safe. we'runconditional return. andiiate and unconditional return. and one the things we're doing to one of the things we're doing to try them safe to try to get them safe is to continue pressure on continue to put pressure on hamas islamic jihad. these hamas and islamic jihad. these are evil terrorist organisations that burn nd butchered, raped , that burn nd butchered, raped, beheaded, tortured and mutilated. these hostages,

friends , neighbours and family. friends, neighbours and family. on october 7th, we know we're deaung on october 7th, we know we're dealing with an evil, despicable enemy and we're putting pressure on them because we don't expect them to suddenly become nice and give our hostages. give us our hostages. >> there movement elianne can >> is there movement elianne can you me specifically you tell me specifically if there's release there's movement on the release of israeli hostages ? that's of two israeli hostages? that's pictures of whom are on the front pages of one of our papers today? kay hannah katzir, 77 years old and yigal yaakov. it is suggested they could be released for health reasons , as released for health reasons, as we very much hope that hamas and islamic jihad will release all of our hostages for health reasons or not for health reasons. >> but unfortunately, i can't comment on any sensitive discussions that may be taking place around the hostage issue. >> we really >> okay. well, we really appreciate time talking to appreciate your time talking to us afternoon on gb news us this afternoon on gb news euanne us this afternoon on gb news elianne very much, spokesperson for government . for the israeli government. thank . thank you. >> coming up, a judge has ruled that jewish sussex and other high profile individuals can continue their unlawful information gathering claims against the mail publisher against the daily mail publisher . this much more to bring you

>> but it's not all doom and gloom as britain narrowly avoided so far a recession with gdp figures , the value of goods gdp figures, the value of goods and services produced rising by 0.2% in september. >> the chancellor has reassured us that the autumn statement will get the economy growing healthy again. but shadow chancellor rachel reeves says the tories have failed the economy . economy. >> well, the numbers today show the economy is flatlining and it confirms what the bank of england predicted just last week , that through the rest of this year and through all of 2024, the uk economy is likely to see no growth whatsoever . the tories no growth whatsoever. the tories plan has failed and as a result, working people are worse off. >> here to break down the latest figures is liam halligan gb news economics and business editor with on the money . with on the money. >> afternoon liam could have been worse. >> it could have been worse. >> it could have been worse. >> economists were actually pleasantly surprised .

pleasantly surprised. >> it takes a lot to make us smile. the dismal scientists that we are. look, these figures aren't great, but they could have been worse. the uk has avoided recession this year. germany is in recession. for instance . its other major instance. its other major economies around the world are flirting with recession. so this isn't just a british disease by any means at all. let's have a little delve down into the numbers. i know you like a graphic pip. contain yourself right? gdp fell right? here we go. so gdp fell 0.6% in july compared to the previous month and nought point, but it was up 0.1% in august. and then in september this was the number that came out this morning bright and early . i was morning bright and early. i was talking the gb news on gb talking about the gb news on gb news at 7 am. the economy grew by 2% in september. by nought point 2% in september. if you add all that up, it means in third quarter, july to in the third quarter, july to september, we had nought percent growth. so that is the economy flatlining right there. the uk economy is stagnating, but we have avoided recession. what's a recession ? it's when you get two recession? it's when you get two successive quarters of negative

growth. well, unlike some other big economies, we've had no successive quarters of negative growth. so we are avoiding recession, nothing to write home about. but as i say, it could have been a lot worse. >> how bad could it have been? what were others saying? it might been? i mean, 0% in might have been? i mean, 0% in not growing is pretty bad, i think, for quite a few. >> in the city of >> the concerns in the city of london was that we were going to get nought point get negative nought point 2% growth september, would growth in september, which would have knocked whole quarter growth in september, which would have into ked whole quarter growth in september, which would have into negative rhole quarter growth in september, which would have into negative shrinkingter down into negative shrinking territory. and must just territory. and i must just slightly push back on what rachel reeves said. today's numbers don't that the numbers don't confirm that the economy is going to flatline right into 2025, or even that it's likely to. the bank of england has been astonishingly gloomy, according the bank of gloomy, according to the bank of england. just six months ago, we were be in recession. were meant to be in recession. now, not saying economy now, i'm not saying the economy is gangbusters. it isn't now, i'm not saying the economy is all. gangbusters. it isn't now, i'm not saying the economy is all. we'vejbusters . it isn't now, i'm not saying the economy is all. we've had:ers. it isn't now, i'm not saying the economy is all. we've had 14; . it isn't now, i'm not saying the economy is all. we've had 14 interestt at all. we've had 14 interest rate rises. they are squeezing, borrowing that is squeezing household incomes through mortgage, higher mortgage payments. and the bank of england says hang on to your

hats that only around half the impact those 14 interest rate impact of those 14 interest rate rises that we've had since december 2021 is have has fed through into the economy. so there's more pain to come. i think it's absolutely on the money, to coin a phrase that the bank of england for the last two months, at least, has frozen interest rates and kept them where are. where they are. >> the chancellor, jeremy >> and the chancellor, jeremy hunt, is saying we need to stick to the plan. >> he is saying need stick >> he is saying we need to stick to he's like a kind of to the plan. he's like a kind of speak your weight machine, isn't he? coming down. he? inflation is coming down. we'll next we'll see next week, next wednesday , it's the inflation wednesday, it's the inflation number, 6.7% at the moment. it could start with a five next week. i think it's worth saying also, though, the also, though, that the government's really government's got a really big decision make it comes decision to make when it comes to this steel plant in scunthorpe. this is a big chinese conglomerate, massively wealthy company. they're threatening down the threatening to close down the old fashioned blast furnace that uses coke, coke and coal, if you like. and they want to go to an electric furnace, which uses electricity, which could be

renewable electricity from turbines or or solar power or whatever. i think it's worth saying it's worth explaining this. if you use an arc electric furnace , you cannot make your furnace, you cannot make your own steel from scratch. you can only make steel repurposed by using scrap metal and turning it into new steel to use. and i would say by a country loses something when it can't make its own steel, particularly when half the steel in the world now is in china . half the steel in the world now is in china. look, half the steel in the world now is in china . look, there's is made in china. look, there's a there's a there's a mexican stand off going on between jinju , the chinese conglomerate that owns the scunthorpe blast furnace, and indeed tata over there, import talbot, the indian conglomerate. they are basically saying to the government, if you want to maintain britain's steel making independence and this is an industry that's employs an industry that's still employs 35,000 you have to pay 35,000 people, you have to pay us do what you want us to do us to do what you want us to do in terms of net zero, move towards a green agenda. this is high stakes stuff. this is far, far , far more important than who far, far more important than who the next home secretary is. with

all respect. >> well, on that point, who should the next chancellor be? liam halligan. a there's liam halligan. there's a there's a that he may be moved on. a view that he may be moved on. he's accidental. well, plenty a view that he may be moved on. hepeople:cidental. well, plenty a view that he may be moved on. hepeople on ental. well, plenty a view that he may be moved on. hepeople on socialwell, plenty a view that he may be moved on. hepeople on social mediaylenty a view that he may be moved on. hepeople on social media think of people on social media think it should me. it should be me. >> think it. it's a difficult one, isn't it? you know, jeremy hunt is a very financially literate guy. he's been very successful business. is successful in business. but is he really a leader? and is his heart really in it? and every tory leadership campaign he's staged, he hasn't done very well. i think he came fifth last time, didn't he? so it's not as if he's popular with the grass roots, given that he's overseen the stealth tax increases where he's frozen thresholds, sunak started that when he was chancellor. so the treasury is raking in tens of billions of pounds more each year. pip because the tax thresholds are frozen . so, you know, more and frozen. so, you know, more and more people are dragged into the top tax bracket, know, top tax bracket, you know, middle ranking managers, not particularly teachers and particularly senior teachers and nurses paying top of nurses paying the top rate of tax. that shouldn't be the case. so i don't think. jeremy hunt is particularly popular with voters or the tory grassroots. and look

, i just made a facetious remark about the home secretary. you know, i'm as interested in politics as you are, chopper. of course, important. think course, it's important. i think the way move suella the only way he can move suella without incensing the tory, right. and leading into an eruption in his parliamentary party if is if he does a party if he's if is if he does a much bigger root and branch reshuffle. so it's not just about her, but we'll see if that happens. we've got a new political editor. >> i vote for him. >> i vote for him. >> thanks very much, liam . now, >> thanks very much, liam. now, a judge has ruled that the duke of sussex and other high profile individuals can continue their unlawful information gathering claims against the daily mail publisher. >> the group, including sir elton john, baroness doreen lawrence, are accusing associated newspapers limited of allegedly carrying out illegal activities such as recording private phone calls. >> let's go live to our royal correspondent, cameron walker, outside the royal courts of justice. good afternoon to you, cameron . what does this mean cameron. what does this mean then , that prince harry might be

then, that prince harry might be back in the witness box next year ? year? >> that is a real possibility , >> that is a real possibility, pip. and in fact, in the last few minutes, we have just had a statement from a law firm representing prince harry and the other claimants in this case in which they say they are delighted with today's decision, which allows our claims over serious criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy by the mail titles to proceed to trial. now we must stress that the publishers of the daily mail associated newspapers limited firmly deny the allegations made against them, and these include unlawful information gathering through private the use of private investigators to plants listening devices inside cars as blagging for private information and listening to private phone telephone conversations. so so in march, during preliminary heanngs in march, during preliminary hearings , associated newspapers hearings, associated newspapers tried to get the judge to throw the case out before a trial,

saying that the claimants cases have been made far too late. but in his judgement today, mr justice nicklin , a high court justice nicklin, a high court judge here in the building behind me, said they have not been able to deliver a knock out blow when it comes to the claims and he said there was a real prospect of the claimants , prospect of the claimants, including prince harry and sir elton john and baroness lawrence, of demonstrating that the publisher of the daily mail concede called the relevant facts and stops them from bringing bringing claims against the publisher a lot earlier. so in other words , the claimants in other words, the claimants have a prospect , according to have a prospect, according to the judge, of demonstrating that these unlawful acts were concealed and he also went on to say that the claimants could show that the publisher of the daily mail tried to throw the claimants off the scent . now, claimants off the scent. now, all of this, as i've said, has been denied by associated newspapers limited. and the judge also said or stressed as part of his ruling that this is

clearly just his preliminary judgement and all of these facts and claims and counterclaims need to be tested as part of a full blown trial. now, the next heanng full blown trial. now, the next hearing in this case is expected on november the 21st. and prince harry, during the preliminary hearings, made an unexpected appearance at the court behind me. and in fact, he bumped into a photographer on the way in, which perhaps just shows how seriously is this seriously he is taking this case. but this is one of six civil cases he is currently dragging through the courts. so it's clearly all to play for here. and he's definitely not never complaining, never explaining , never complaining, never explaining, which was never complaining, never explaining , which was royal explaining, which was the royal family's motto . family's motto. >> that's right. that's right. cameron viewers cameron and of course, viewers remember a similar remember how he's got a similar case, he, against the case, hasn't he, against the daily mirror claiming damages there. that case, earlier there. and in that case, earlier this year, he appeared on the witness didn't witness stand, didn't he? i mean, is that? how does mean, what is that? how does that down with royal that go down with royal watchers, with the royal family is good look having is it a good look having a member of the royal family on the witness stand at the high court? well earlier this year,

as you said, prince harry did give two days worth of evidence in his case, privacy case, a separate case against mirror group newspapers . group newspapers. >> he was the first, as we understand it, the first member, senior member of the royal family to appear in a witness box for 100 or so years. and it was a pretty mixed reaction in terms of what prince harry said in the witness box. some were accusing him of being quite vague about the facts or not getting his facts straight. and some even said that perhaps he crumbled under cross—exam , crumbled under cross—exam, ordination, all of which could happen again in this trial that's going to be happening against associated newspapers as well. but prince harry was clearly determined back in the summer to give his evidence as to why he thinks he is the victim of unlawful information gathering via mirror group newspapers. and he could well decide to do the same thing here in his separate case against associated newspapers. so it is all very much to play for. but

as i said, this is one of six civil cases he has dragging through the courts. but because he is no longer a working member of the royal family, he is free to do what he sees fit and he seesit to do what he sees fit and he sees it as his life's mission to change the way the british tabloids operates. and he really feels a victim of feels that he is a victim of unlawful information gathering. >> well, cameron walker, our royal outside the royal correspondent outside the royal court of justice on the strand. thanks joining us. >> us. >> would you allow your children to skip school to protest ? well, to skip school to protest? well, hundreds of youngsters in the city of bristol are doing just that today. they're taking part in a school strike for palace eystein demonstration organised by a collective of local campaigners and parents supported by bristol. >> stop the war coalition, palestine solidarity campaign. bristol and the green party. the event calls on youngsters to protest for thousands of palestinian children killed and injured by the israeli military strikes . strikes. >> let's speak to our gb news southwest reporter jeff moody good afternoon to you, geoff. i

was expecting to see lots . lots was expecting to see lots. lots of children behind you . is it as of children behind you. is it as it started or is it due to start later ? later? >> it's finished. it actually took place about an hour ago. there were many , many people there were many, many people here in college , green in here in college, green in bristol, and the children were from all different age groups. there were children that were here from primary school, from reception even, right up to the sixth form. now they're calling this a school strike. and the sixth formers were telling me that they just walked out of their lessons first thing this morning, which they're entitled to do. there's legal to do. there's no legal obugafion to do. there's no legal obligation sixth formers to obligation for sixth formers to attend school . of course, attend school. but of course, it's different kettle of it's a very different kettle of fish when it comes to the youngsters. a lot of the mothers emailed school morning emailed the school this morning and their son or and said that their son or daughter wouldn't attending daughter wouldn't be attending today they're on this today because they're on this demonstration, this march. they're unaware at the moment of any consequences because, of course, they could well be fined or the children could be sanctioned for missing school.

while they were here, they signed a petition , ian, but also signed a petition, ian, but also the children were invited to come forward to the microphone and to chant various slogans, to sing various songs, and to give speeches. one of the slogans was that one of the children in fact, several of the children were chanting was from the river to the sea. palestine an will be free, which of course is widely associated as an anti—semitic statement. i caught up with one of the organisers whose name is china fish. she told me why the eventis china fish. she told me why the event is happening. >> it's only one day we feel that this is a really pertinent time and a really important time that we use our voices in any way we can. >> now that almost 5000 children have been killed by israel since the 7th of october. as parents and the children, we all feel so concerned that we need to help stop any more killings of

children. so the focus today is all about children and saving children's lives . children's lives. >> well, she said there that it's only one day, but this happened also last week. and they say they're going to keep going every friday until there is a ceasefire. so this could be a strike that goes on for weeks , a strike that goes on for weeks, months, possibly even years . months, possibly even years. >> geoff, what's the approach of the authorities there? are there any issues there, any fines for children out of school? and how doesit children out of school? and how does it make people feel hearing those chants? they're quite hard to hear from children, aren't they ? they? >> yes, absolutely . it really >> yes, absolutely. it really is. and i asked her whether they really understood what they were saying, and she assured me that they were well educated on the subject. they had balanced views , is that they had all sorts of that. the curriculum was was being used to teach them certain things . you wonder exactly what

things. you wonder exactly what they were taught. don't you? some of the teachers were here today, although a lot of them weren't . so it does seem to have weren't. so it does seem to have a level of support from the school as well as from the parents, too. but you know, when you hear a child chant dating from the river to the sea, palestine will be free, you begin to wonder exactly what they've been taught and what they've been taught and what they understand about what they're saying. but she was also saying to me that, you know how goodit saying to me that, you know how good it is that children are politically engaged and it's good. she says that children are learning about the world and they're having an opinion about they're having an opinion about the world, whatever that opinion may be. >> it's good for children to be politically engaged. but there's a difference between that and sort of fed lines by the sort of being fed lines by the adults in terms of what to say. isn't . isn't there. >> yes, absolutely. and you don't know unless you individually talk to the children. it's difficult to say what they understand by it. and, yes, they were the slogans were written on on pieces of

cardboard that the children were reading from. so, yes, you don't really know what those children's views are. in particular, it's reflecting the views of the people around them. but then that's the same with the children everywhere, isn't it? they sort of they they absorb the views of the parents and the adults around them . and the adults around them. >> geoff, thank you so much . let >> geoff, thank you so much. let us know what you think. how would you feel your child was would you feel if your child was protesting? would let them protesting? would you let them do? stay with plenty more do? stay with us. plenty more coming on gb news

serious plan for growth to work alongside business, to unlock investment, to reform our planning system so that we can get our economy growing and to get our economy growing and to get bills down. so that people have more money in their pockets i >> -- >> this is gb news across the uk on tv , in your car, on digital on tv, in your car, on digital radio, and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now back to pip and christopher. now downing street has said that rishi sunak, the pm, still has full confidence in suella braverman as number 10 continues to look into how a opinion, piece and article by the home secretary criticising the police was published in the times newspaper. >> the prime minister is under pressure as bravermans future hangsin pressure as bravermans future hangs in the balance. allies on the right of the party are warning rishi sunak that if you come for her you come for us. while some northern irish politicians claim shes managed to offend everyone and has to go

i >> speaking earlier, the chancellor, jeremy hunt, distanced himself from ms braverman's choice of language , braverman's choice of language, as well as many other cabinet ministers have said the words that she used are not words that i myself would have used , but i i myself would have used, but i have a productive relationship with her as a colleague and ive always given her the money that she needs to fund the police, bnng she needs to fund the police, bring down crime and to fund the immigration and asylum system . immigration and asylum system. >> well, we can cross to westminster and speak with our political correspondent, olivia utley. olivia just give us an idea.can utley. olivia just give us an idea. can you. how many allies or how much support does the home secretary have on the right of the party? >> well, its thought that she has about 50 or 60 conservative mps who are staunchly behind her and would probably kick up a real fuss if she were to be sacked . and that's a that's sacked. and that's a that's a very serious danger for rishi sunak if he gets rid of the home secretary, sends her off to the

backbench and then she pied piper style amasses a significant group of quite influential conservative mps behind her, that could pose a real problem to the prime minister's leadership. people like miriam cates and up and coming star in the conservative party, danny kruger , are behind party, danny kruger, are behind her. could cause real issues her. it could cause real issues for him that said, he's got those breathing down his neck. on the other side, to the moderate wing of the party, the left wing of the party, if you like , have been out and about like, have been out and about briefing newspapers, briefing broadcasters me, saying broadcasters like me, saying very openly, putting their names to comments suella to comments that suella braverman is unhinged, that she's unsuitable for the job, that she's dangerous, that she should not be a conservative home secretary and that the prime minister needs to get rid of her. so sort of whatever rishi sunak does, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place . between a rock and a hard place. technically, we should say there is quite a lot of wiggle room in the ministerial code. the issue is whether suella braverman broke and what the broke that code and what the

code states is that all matters of policy content must be passed through. number 10 must be agreed by number 10 before they're published in a newspaper. now suella braverman's team could argue quite effectively , i think that quite effectively, i think that although what she said in this article might have been inflammatory language, there was no policy content in that no actual policy content in that piece. and she wasn't piece. and so she wasn't actually obliged to have it signed off by number 10, although of course it would have been so technically been courteous. so technically the prime minister certainly has a room, but in a lot of wiggle room, but in reality, she it's going to be a very, difficult decision very, very difficult decision for and of the for him. and of course, the longer waits, more open longer he waits, the more open he is to accusations of weakness that a sort of lame that he is simply a sort of lame duck prime minister, almost, who can't really do anything about his home secretary. and that's certainly line that keir certainly the line that keir starmer this morning. starmer took this morning. >> are you >> what are you what are you hearing, olivia, about issue hearing, olivia, about the issue of a reshuffle? there's of maybe a reshuffle? there's talk westminster might talk in westminster might be one today that happened. today and that hasn't happened. maybe on monday. if so, how maybe on monday. and if so, how much room has mr sunak got to got move here. can he do got to move here. can he do a wide ranging one or just deal

wide ranging one orjust deal with suella with the issue of suella braverman ? braverman? >> well, the talk in westminster at the moment is a perhaps sort of medium sized reshuffle. so not getting rid of everyone. but but more than just dealing with the issue with suella braverman might of cleaner way might be a sort of cleaner way to tackle the issue if he kind of disguises it as more of a general shake—up, which of course been rumoured course has been rumoured for quite a long time now. then that could be one way addressing could be one way of addressing the issue. it's rumoured at the moment that you could have someone like robert jenrick, who's the current immigration minister, to be home minister, shuffled up to be home secretary claire coutinho , the secretary claire coutinho, the new energy secretary. she is a real firm favour with rishi sunak and it's thought that she might be moved into an even more senior position, which is pretty incredible given i think she's only i think she's still in her 30s.so only i think she's still in her 30s. so that could be one way that he handles it. but of course he is in a very precarious position within his own parliamentary party after those bruising by—election defeats of the last few weeks,

he knows that if he puts a foot wrong, if he sacks the wrong person, if he sends someone popular with the backbenches over to the backbenches, then he could be seeing a real pushback against his leadership. as we saw at the conservative party conference a few weeks ago, there are a lot of people now sniffing around the party leadership almost all of the cabinet ministers speeches felt like a pitch for the leadership. if and when rishi sunak loses his position after the next election. so rishi sunak sort of deaung election. so rishi sunak sort of dealing with a jenga tower of mps now and move the wrong person out at a reshuffle and the whole edifice could come tumbling down. >> how unusual will olivia were suella bravermans comments accusing the police of bias? i mean , maybe chris can enlighten mean, maybe chris can enlighten us, but i can't remember. for example , how theresa may, when example, how theresa may, when she was home secretary, being quite so critical or publicly . critical >> well, as one former home

office , someone very close to office, someone very close to the home office in previous government put it to me, the job of the home secretary is to publicly support the police and privately criticise them. so a publicly support them. this publicly support them. this publicly criticised them. this openly is pretty much unprecedented and bear in mind that the original draft of the piece was actually softened by downing street at the very beginning . the draft that the beginning. the draft that the times saw. at first, the home secretary has said that there was ample evidence that the met police were basically favouritism and paraphrasing here, but basically favouritism . here, but basically favouritism. palestinian protesters over for example, anti—lockdown protesters . that was taken out protesters. that was taken out by number 10. but of course, there were a few phrases in that article which did sort of slip through the net. we're still not entirely clear how that happened, whether it was a deliberate that suella team were defying 10 downing street or not. but yeah, this was a very, very strong piece . it was very strong piece. it was a strong piece now and it was an even stronger piece before. and i think as far as i can tell, it

is pretty much unprecedented. >> but livvy, there are lots >> and but livvy, there are lots of people's of gb news who of people's views of gb news who agree with with suella braverman. she must braverman. and she must know that, well yeah. that, mustn't she? well yeah. >> and i think this is suella calculation. she believes that that what she said that that the police essentially have a22 tier approach when it comes to policing protests will resonate strongly with a lot of people around the country who feel that thatis around the country who feel that that is exactly what's happening . and as far as i can work it out, talking to people in westminster yesterday and today, she sort of thinks that, well, if she does end up getting sacked, then she will be in an absolutely prime position to pitch herself for the leadership after a general election when it's widely assumed that rishi sunak would step down. i mean, no one close to her has actually said this, but reading between the lines wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for her to be a sort of political martyr. on this point when she believes that people the that so many people in the country with her political

country agree with her political correspondent olivia utley, thanks very much for your thoughts there. >> lots to talk to you about as well. i mean, you said she's a remarkable woman. you said earlier. >> yeah, i mean, she is. and she has a authenticity about herself. i mean, i was i've done in previous jobs, i've been with her, in previous jobs, i've been with hen her in previous jobs, i've been with her, her in front in previous jobs, i've been with he members her in front in previous jobs, i've been with he members and her in front in previous jobs, i've been with he members and membersnt in previous jobs, i've been with he members and members love her. of members and members love her. they think she believes i mean, she she says. she does believe what she says. there's no artifice there. she believes issues. the believes these issues. the question should the question is, should the home secretary, charge secretary, who's in charge of the saying them on the police, be saying them on the police, be saying them on the stage? why not make the public stage? why not make those points privately and get the that way? because it the change that way? because it could policing, but it could undermine policing, but it could undermine policing, but it could her game plan. could be part of her game plan. yeah, also, wonder about yeah, but also, i wonder about the because what the game plan, because what no one talking about after one is talking about is after the year, if it the election next year, if it when happens, looking at the when it happens, looking at the numbers, going to see numbers, you are going to see probably quite a moderate party emerge, wing party. emerge, not a right wing party. everyone's into it. they everyone's reading into it. they think going to be like think it's going to be like 1997, 98, the party lurched 1997, 98, when the party lurched to right. that may not to the right. that may not happen. looking comes happen. looking at who comes through. really through. so she can't really assume next tory assume she'll be the next tory party leader. that's, party leader. and that's, i

think, the mistake she's got or maybe the mistake she might be making to move on. >> a few front runners, >> there's a few front runners, aren't there, from what we hear. let's about the protests, let's talk about the protests, the rally that's taking place tomorrow according tomorrow because according to organisers , than half a organisers, more than half a million people are expected to march from park at 12:00 march from hyde park at 12:00 tomorrow, armistice day. they'll be heading to the us embassy demanding a ceasefire in gaza . demanding a ceasefire in gaza. >> anas sarwar over sevilla braverman's claims about bias in the met's approach to protesters rumbles on. one of the uk's most senior officers has senior police officers has defended the right for police chief make independent chief to make independent operational decisions . operational decisions. >> former senior investigating officer at the met police professor simon harding joins us now . good afternoon to you. now. good afternoon to you. >> not a professor, though. >> not a professor, though. >> i'm so sorry. have we >> oh, i'm so sorry. have we have we have we given you a qualification that you don't have? take it. have? i'll take it. >> it's fine. >> it's fine. >> simon harding, former met officer. do you think about officer. what do you think about i mean , there's so much we could i mean, there's so much we could ask you about this and about her article. let's start with the alleged bias by police when it comes to the protests. did that

resonate with in any way ? resonate with you in any way? >> well, i think i think it's a little bit insulting, really, to, you know, to the idea that officers would favour officers would would favour somebody else. officers would would favour sonlebody else. officers would would favour soni mean, else. officers would would favour soni mean, it's else. officers would would favour soni mean, it's you else. officers would would favour soni mean, it's you know, else. officers would would favour soni mean, it's you know, you're >> i mean, it's you know, you're supposed without fear supposed to police without fear or anybody. or favour to anybody. >> and, you the are >> and, you know, the met are extremely in extremely experienced in in deaung extremely experienced in in dealing with protests , marches dealing with protests, marches for all sorts of things. >> there are so many during the yean >> there are so many during the year, you know , and they do them year, you know, and they do them they're regimented. the way they do important part of do it. and the important part of this one really these this one really is that these organisers have engaged with the police, engaged, they police, they have engaged, they have a plan, they've worked together. they're together. and, you know, they're not saying will will not saying we will we will have violence they're saying violence on it. they're saying this peaceful protest. we this is a peaceful protest. we don't condone any form of violence graffiti anything violence or graffiti or anything that it. so in terms that comes with it. so in terms of sir rowley, he's of sir mark rowley, he's absolutely you know, absolutely right. you know, there's nothing which breaches anything is a anything for him. this is a normal engagement normal in terms of engagement and organisation of a protest. >> do you do you think, though, that a lot of a lot of viewers of gb news and others are writing emailing us, they do writing in emailing us, they do think double standards. think there's double standards. they the the black they look at the way the black lives matter protests were

policed say, policed quite lightly, they say, and football and they look at maybe football fans have a harder time, maybe the anti—lockdown protests equally. he's equally. do you think he's making fair point about the making a fair point about the way some people way that some people are arrested, aren't? arrested, some aren't? >> i think it could be could arrested, some aren't? >> perceived could be could arrested, some aren't? >> perceived liked be could arrested, some aren't? >> perceived like that could arrested, some aren't? >> perceived like that for ould be perceived like that for different people. think different people. but i think the way the met set the way that the met set themselves out is not to be like that. obviously, there are, you know, different people who protest, ideas protest, have different ideas and sorts of and ideologies and all sorts of things. know, your risk things. so you know, your risk analysis of these slightly analysis of these is slightly higher football or higher with, say, football or something because you something like that because you have of coming have a history of people coming together violence. together and causing violence. so they will at this work so they will look at this work with organisers and there with the organisers and there are many protests that are many, many protests that don't don't engage , you don't have don't engage, you know, or don't engage with know, just or don't engage with the so, you know, the police at all. so, you know, these very difficult to these are very difficult to police, you know, you might police, you know, so you might suggest favoured dealing suggest there's favoured dealing with them, but they don't engage. you to you have engage. so you have to you have to you do at the to change what you do at the time as well. so when something is happening in front you, is happening in front of you, you're have to react to you're going to have to react to it. you know, they have a it. you know, so they have a plan it to peaceful. so plan for it to be peaceful. so if something changes, they've got deal it. got to deal with it. >> the concern, though,

>> that's the concern, though, isn't told and isn't it? they're told and officers told it's officers are told it's a peaceful protest. but we know from the footage we've seen from all the footage we've seen that there extremist that there are extremist elements. the majority, elements. it's not the majority, the we're told. but if the minority, we're told. but if those extremist elements break away from that main march , the away from that main march, the officers could have a big problem . problem. >> yeah, and i think, you know, when you're social when you're seeing on social media, the football hooligans trying together and, you trying to come together and, you know, as a big number in order to protect statues and monuments, you know, and others that are just going to come there for sheer violence . there for the sheer violence. you know, you see it in some protests where would never protests where you would never expect take place. protests where you would never expeit take place. protests where you would never expeit does take place. protests where you would never expeit does because|ke place. protests where you would never expeit does because there ace. protests where you would never expeit does because there are and it does because there are those that that's just those people that that's just that's they want to that's just what they want to do. they hijack this. do. and they will hijack this. this quite likely. and this march, quite likely. and cause just as cause problems just for you as a former frontline officer, what's the for tomorrow? former frontline officer, what's the do for tomorrow? former frontline officer, what's the do you for tomorrow? former frontline officer, what's the do you starttomorrow? former frontline officer, what's the do you start off orrow? former frontline officer, what's the do you start off very/? former frontline officer, what's the do you start off very low >> do you start off very low key? kind of helmets and no key? no. kind of helmets and no kind of things that make you look like there might be an issue later on? and what's the strategy of the police right now, be told tomorrow? now, be told about tomorrow? >> well, i mean, i don't think you'd key terms of

you'd go low key in terms of taking off and things taking your hats off and things like that. it's not that kind of thing. it'sjust, like that. it's not that kind of thing. it's just, you know, having with the having worked with the with the people, will they will be people, they will they will be you know, this is is you know, this is this is far enough from cenotaph enough away from the cenotaph after that will after a certain time that will have agreed as part the have been agreed as part of the you know, it's insensitive potentially for the time it's take but of course, take place. but of course, there'll aware that officers there'll be aware that officers have an have to be ready for an inflammation any form of inflammation of any form of violence disorder any violence or disorder at any time. think it will time. so i don't think it will be any different to any major protest, but they will be very aware, drafted many aware, having drafted in many other that that there other officers, that that there is that potential. >> it's policing operation is that potential. >>policing policing operation is that potential. >> policing operationsoperation is that potential. >> policing operationsope and n as policing operations go and you've london as well. >> you've got to carry on with london, you've got to carry on with football matches and everything that's everything else. that's happening everything else. that's happetorg everything else. that's happeto be, you know, going to going to be, you know, going to be tough. be very tough. >> simon harding, a >> simon harding, not a professor here, but former met police thank you so police officer. thank you so much talking to us. much for talking to us. >> now coming a judge has >> now coming up, a judge has ruled of sussex and ruled the duke of sussex and other profile individuals other high profile individuals can their unlawful can continue their unlawful information gathering claims against mail against the daily mail publisher. this and much more .

in central london last month . in central london last month. now we've heard from the crown prosecution service representatives saying following a review of evidence provided by the metropolitan police , we have the metropolitan police, we have authorised charges against two women who are now understand are three of them who took part in a demonstration in central london last month . so all three of them last month. so all three of them are due to appear at some point this afternoon. theo chikomba outside westminster magistrates court >> thank you for bringing us the latest . latest. >> now prince harry and other high profile individuals are said to be delighted after high court judge ruled that claims against the daily mail publisher can go to a full trial . can go to a full trial. >> the group, including sir elton john and baroness doreen lawrence, have accused associated newspapers limited of allegedly carrying out illegal activities such as recording private phone calls. >> meanwhile , associated >> meanwhile, associated newspapers limited says it looks forward to establishing in court that the claims made were lurid

in quotes, in quotes , quite in quotes. >> let's get the latest from our royal correspondent, cameron walker. good afternoon to you. well this could be quite a showdown , couldn't it? cameron showdown, couldn't it? cameron oh, it absolutely could be. >> pip. it's certainly a boost for prince harry and the other six high profile claimants in this case against the publisher of the daily mail. there the law firm representing them, hamlins has released a statement in the last hour or so saying that the claimants are delighted with today's decision, which allows our claims over serious criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy by the mail titles to proceed to trial. we intend to uncover the truth at that trial and hold those responsible will at associated newspapers fully accountable. now associated newspapers denies all the allegations made against them. and at preliminary hearings in march, actually asked the judge to throw out this entire case because they believe that the

claims brought by prince harry, sir elton john, baroness lawrence and some others were brought far too late. but in his ruling this morning, mrjustice ruling this morning, mr justice nicklin said that associated newspapers had not been able to deliver what he described as a knockout blow to any of the claims presented as part of the preliminary hearings. and he said that there is a real prospect that each of the claimants could demonstrate that. associated newspapers, the publisher of the mail, concealed the relevant facts and stops the claims . ants bringing claims claims. ants bringing claims against the publisher for a lot earlier. so in other words, the claimants, according to the judge, have a realistic prospect of demonstrating that they are all of unlawful all victims of unlawful information gathering. as i said , the publisher of the daily mail denies all these allegations, but all of this has to be tested as part of a full blown trial. now, we saw prince harry take part in a separate

trial against his privacy , a trial against his privacy, a privacy case against the mirror group newspapers in the summer where he gave two days of evidence , evidence in our high evidence, evidence in our high court room , we could see similar court room, we could see similar scenes taking place later when the full trial is set, there is a hearing scheduled for november. the 21st. so in a couple of weeks time. but as for the date for the full trial, we don't know that yet. but this is one of six civil cases. prince harry is dragging through the uk courts at the moment, and his decision to step back as the as a working of the royal a working member of the royal family the freedom family has given him the freedom to comply with the royal to not comply with the royal family's unofficial motto of never complain, never explain on camera. >> what do you think it means for prince harry and his wife, meghan markle? what does it mean for team sussex to use that term the tabloids like to use about them. good thing to be them. is it a good thing to be on the in a witness box trying to argue your case in court if you're a member, albeit a strange from the royal family . strange from the royal family. >> yeah, it's interesting, isn't

it ? when prince harry was in the it? when prince harry was in the witness box for his case against mirror group newspapers, we didn't hear a peep from his wife, meghan , duchess of sussex. wife, meghan, duchess of sussex. she stayed well clear of any pubuchy she stayed well clear of any publicity or statements or anything of the kind related to prince harry's privacy cases against british tabloids . all against british tabloids. all these allegations, dates from before prince harry met meghan markle when he was still a working member of the royal family. so this is his case, as it were. it's him having his day in court and he believes he is the victim of unlawful information gathering. i think one of the big problems for prince harry and indeed meghan by association is the cost of all of this clearly legal cases could run into the hundreds of thousands of pounds. and prince harry has six of them going on at the same time . four against at the same time. four against british tabloids and two against the home office . the first case the home office. the first case against the home office is them taking away the same level of police protection which he was

used to as a working member of the royal family and the second is not allowing him to pay for his own police protection. so all of this obviously costs a lot of money. he's no longer a working of royal working member of the royal family, doesn't receive of family, so he doesn't receive of our taxpayers money as our money taxpayers money as part sovereign grant. and part of a sovereign grant. and so having to rely on so he's having to rely on private income from perhaps diana's inheritance and indeed , diana's inheritance and indeed, these big deals with media conglomerates in the united states, such as netflix. but obviously prince harry believes that it's the right thing to do, to go through with all these cases. >> well, cameron walker, the gb news, is royal correspondent there at the strand outside the royal courts of justice. thanks for joining us today. thank you. royal courts of justice. thanks for areing us today. thank you. royal courts of justice. thanks for are you1s today. thank you. royal courts of justice. thanks for are you alloday. thank you. royal courts of justice. thanks for are you all right?'hank you. royal courts of justice. thanks for are you all right? youk you. royal courts of justice. thanks for are you all right? you sound >> are you all right? you sound like you're going have a little cough just cough trying to walters just there. it filled up in there. we'll get it filled up in this break. stay with us because coming we'll be talking coming up, we'll be talking about economy. it has about the economy. it has flatlined and we're told flatlined and but we're told it's not quite as bad as you might think. we'll be delving into all that very shortly. stay

eamonn and isabel monday to thursday from six till 930 . now

thursday from six till 930. now thousands of jobs could be lost at british steel's scunthorpe plant, with ministers now coming under pressure to protect employment and guaranteed steel can continue to be made in the uk. >> the chinese owned company confirmed that it planned to replace blast furnaces with two electric arc versions . now they electric arc versions. now they can run on zero carbon electricity and require less manpower . the electricity and require less manpower. the company is still waiting for appropriate support from the uk government . our from the uk government. our reporter anna riley has the story . story. >> british steel has been the heartbeat of scunthorpe for 160 years, creating employment for the local community. but times have changed. now it's blast furnaces are set to go electric to make steel production here greener by recycling scrap steel . and that could cost 2000 people their jobs , as well as

people their jobs, as well as leaving the uk without the ability to produce its own virgin steel , with ministers virgin steel, with ministers pushing for reassurances. if the government is to finance the scheme , if we're going to give scheme, if we're going to give hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer money to british steel, we have to ensure that we protect steel jobs and that we retain a blast furnace steel making capability in scunthorpe. >> we can't do anything without steel as a nation . nobody can. steel as a nation. nobody can. >> if thousands of jobs are lost at the plant in scunthorpe. thorp this will have a huge knock on effect to the local economy , which relies on trade economy, which relies on trade from steel workers, businesses like beck bakery, who sell the majority of food to staff from the plant. >> most of our trade is from the workers, from work at the british steel or the contractors that work on british steel. i would say 90% of it is people here have faced years of uncertainty around the steelworks. >> their used to cuts, but this

feels different. the blast furnaces are the steelworks. we make the best steel in the world. >> we always have them take chord rail and everything and it's a steel industry. i don't know how you can go green with a steel industry. >> scunthorpe it'd be like a museum . it'll be no good at all. museum. it'll be no good at all. it's been british steel and it's been here donkey's years , you been here donkey's years, you know, and it's we're down to the last one. >> we're down to the last steelworks here, and that's that'll be the end of it then. >> it's inevitable. the steelworks have got to move forward and it's progress . forward and it's progress. >> and unfortunately, sadly for jobs , that's happening. jobs, that's what's happening. >> steel , jobs, that's what's happening. >> steel, along jobs, that's what's happening. >> steel , along with the >> british steel, along with the council, have also announced plans for an advanced manufacturing park on part of the steelworks site, which could create thousands of green jobs such as in hydrogen. >> it seems a little bit callous to think that you'll try and redesign new jobs and all at the

same time as other people are going to have to change theirs. but we've got have a solid but we've got to have a solid future kids in this area to future for kids in this area to want stay in this area. we want to stay in this area. we want to stay in this area. we want better paid jobs and high engineering that engineering jobs. you know, that sort and what sort of stuff. and that's what we the future, for we want for the future, for local people. >> british steel's proposals will reviewed by an external will be reviewed by an external specialist on behalf of trade unions . if plans go ahead, the unions. if plans go ahead, the blast furnaces will remain operational until electric arc furnace installation from late 2025. anna riley gb news scunthorpe now gb news economics and business editor liam halligan is with us in studio how. >> now. >> liam, is it always about money? i mean, just in september, the uk government supported £500 million for port talbot steel plant to tata steel. well, is it always basically about us spending more money on this industry and is it worth it? >> very comprehensive report there from anna riley. i thought she covered lots of bases, but the base she didn't cover in the time she had is that there's now

basically a mexican stand off, if you like, between xiangzhi, the big chinese conglomerate , the big chinese conglomerate, which since march 2020 has owned british steel . there's a which since march 2020 has owned british steel. there's a similar situation over in wales. the port talbot steel plant, which is owned by tata , of course, is owned by tata, of course, a big indian owned company. and these these companies know they have enormous power because they know if a blast furnace is turned off in a place like scunthorpe, it's not going to get relit. right that and what a fantastic line the blast furnace is the steelworks and it is really because if you move to arc electric furnaces, you can only repurpose scrap metal, steel . you can't make steel from steel. you can't make steel from scratch what they call in the industry virgin steel. and you lose not just lots and lots of jobs, you lose the strategic ability as the world's fifth or sixth biggest economy to make your own steel. right. and i'm not saying there's, you know, in wartime, you need to be able to make steel. but even in peacetime, you need steel for buildings , for railways, for buildings, for railways, for infrastructure . and if you can

infrastructure. and if you can only rely on scrap metal rather than building, creating your own steel, some thing is lost in terms of a country's power. and it's economic mojo . it's economic mojo. >> and is there not an argument for doing this transition more slowly, slowly, it seems to be moving from one to the other. is there not a half way? house? >> well, i think there is a i think there is an argument. look the produced , you know, our the uk produced, you know, our carbon emissions have fallen faster than any other major economy in the world. that's just the fact . so there is an just the fact. so there is an argument that maybe we should go argument that maybe we should go a bit more slowly given that countries like china are building coal fired power stations quite literally at 19 to the dozen. so there's that argument. maybe you should slow it down. but there's also the argument in terms employment, it down. but there's also the arglleast in terms employment, it down. but there's also the arglleast before ns employment, it down. but there's also the arglleast before a; employment, it down. but there's also the arglleast before a generalloyment, not least before a general election in a red wall seat like scunthorpe, the steel industry across the uk still employs upwards of 30,000 people and they're often quite well paid

jobs in areas where there aren't, with all respect, that many well—paid jobs. so they they drive whole towns and regions as anna so brilliantly showed, there in her report, a shop where 90% of the trade is steelworks is and steel contractors. so it's nationally important industry possibly that's why it deserves the money. it's a very nationally important industry. so the owners of the big steel plants, particularly when they're not tax themselves in tax payers themselves here in the or their foreign the uk or their or their foreign owned owned by owned or they're owned by foreign governments, frankly, they're not going worry too they're not going to worry too much wringing much about wringing extra taxpayers of the uk. taxpayers money out of the uk. and look, all goes to how and look, all this goes to how are we going to grow, right? the tories in their king's speech last week, they said, oh, maybe, you know, we can we can have more drilling offshore of north sea oil and gas and we can grow that way and we're going to be seeing in the jeremy hunts autumn statement on the 22nd november. you know, he's going to come up some to have to come up with some kind growth plan, given what kind of growth plan, given what we learned this morning about the numbers. a the gdp numbers. let's have a look is gdp, its

look at these. what is gdp, its gross domestic product? it's the measure of the transactions measure of all the transactions in economy and gdp in july in an economy and gdp in july fell by 0.6% compared to the previous month. that's a pretty big drop and it was up again nought point 1% in august. and in september the number that came out at 7:00 this morning, it grew by 0.2. now if you add all that up, means across the all that up, it means across the third quarter of the economy, july flatlined july to september, we flatlined o% july to september, we flatlined 0% growth. the economy at the end of the second quarter was the same size as the economy at the same size as the economy at the end of the third quarter. so the end of the third quarter. so the uk's stagnating, but we've avoided the dreaded recession. a recession, as you both know, is when you get two successive quarters of negative growth. we've had no quarters of negative growth so far, unlike some other big economies, germany , for instance. so the uk germany, for instance. so the uk is doing a bit better than expectations, but not particularly well. but it's going to be all eyes next week on wednesday the inflation on wednesday on the inflation number that will be a really big moment. was the bank of england right freeze interest right to freeze interest rates earlier this month? i think

probably it was . i think probably it was. i think inflation is going to down inflation is going to come down from like to maybe five from like 6.7 to maybe five point something because it's falling rapidly now and falling quite rapidly now and then it will be forced steam ahead to the autumn statement on november the 22nd. the chancellor hasn't got much fiscal headroom . he's got fiscal headroom. he's got a little bit a little bit more tax revenue than the office for budget responsibility said a little bit spending than little bit less spending than the said a lot people on the obr said a lot of people on the obr said a lot of people on the of his party are going the right of his party are going to tax cuts, tax cuts, to be saying tax cuts, tax cuts, tax need to do tax cuts. we need to do something make the public something to make the public like us because labour are a long way ahead in the polls. >> liam, we know be >> liam, we know you'll be across every letter of across every single letter of that statement and we'll that autumn statement and we'll bnng that autumn statement and we'll bring us your thoughts here on gb news. you . a number of gb news. thank you. a number of children in bristol are skipping school today in a school strike for palestine. demonstrate an organised by a collective of local campaigners and parents. >> the event called on youngsters to , quote, protest youngsters to, quote, protest the thousands of palestinian children killed and injured by the israeli military strikes .

the israeli military strikes. >> let's speak to our gb news south west reporter jeff moody good afternoon to you, geoff. a lot of people will be asking how was this actually allowed . was this actually allowed. >> absolutely. and i think the answer to that is it hasn't been allowed talking to a lot of the parents here today . and the parents here today. and the children were of all ages . there children were of all ages. there was little reception, children from reception right up to sixth form. well, the sixth forms, that's not a problem . they that's not a problem. they decided to walk out of their lesson earlier on today, and they're entitled do lesson earlier on today, and they'ibut entitled do lesson earlier on today, and they'ibut obviouslytitled do lesson earlier on today, and they'ibut obviously it's�*d do lesson earlier on today, and they'ibut obviously it's the do that. but obviously it's the children of 16 or below where the issue lies. and many of the parents said to me, look, they hadnt parents said to me, look, they hadn't actually asked permission . just literally emailed . they just literally emailed the school this morning and said, my child isn't coming in today. they they're not today. and they said they're not quite sure whether there'll be any repercussions from that, whether might be some whether there might be some sanctions or even fines. sanctions or even some fines. parents can be fined quite heavily if their children miss school . and also it's going to

school. and also it's going to be a semi—regular thing. i mean, they were saying to me, well, it's one day. but they did it's just one day. but they did a demonstration last week, a demonstration here last week, today and they're going to today to and they're going to continue every friday day until there is a ceasefire so this could be a long running thing. the children were invited to chant slogans to sing songs to make speeches. and one of them said certainly said from the river to the sea, palestine shall be free, which we know is associated , widely regarded as associated, widely regarded as an anti semitic chant. it's a it's a questionable as to what the children knew who and what the children knew who and what the children knew who and what the children believe because they were very, very young indeed , some of them. and they indeed, some of them. and they were, you know, chanting slogans from bits of cardboard that were presented to them. but their teacher that some of their teachers were here. most of them weren't. but i did catch up with one of the main organisers of the event. her name is china

fish, and this is what she had to say. >> it's only one day we feel that this is a really pertinent time and really important time that we use our voices in any way we can. now that almost 5000 children have been killed by israel since the 7th of october, and as parents, it's and the children we all feel so concerned that we need to help stop any more killings of children . so the focus today is children. so the focus today is all about children and saving children's lives . children's lives. >> well, she also went on to tell me that that the children are very well informed and that they're taught about the middle east at school and that the opinions that they're coming out with today are their own. and she says that wonderful she says that it's wonderful that children are politically engaged at such an early age and. >> okay, jeff moody, thank you very much . i mean, the thing is, very much. i mean, the thing is, no matter what the subject matter was protesting on a

school day , yeah, it just feels wrong. >> i mean, it started into under the greta thunberg protests and then it seemed that was okay because the green future. but i think for that person there to say that it's going to happen again every friday a lot of again every friday is a lot of school time being missed. >> depending on how >> and depending on how young the they really the children are, do they really understand what they're what they're that's the worry they're saying? that's the worry and the chants there. >> and upsetting many >> and well, upsetting for many people i think, from people to hear. i think, from from young mouths. >> well, you have been getting in on this exact in touch with us on this exact topic. what have people been saying, chris? topic. what have people been saywell,hris? says, this >> well, diane says, i find this repulsive . what are the parents repulsive. what are the parents thinking of? it's no wonder this country gone down drain . country has gone down the drain. i school and the i blame the school and the parents. and if my kids did that , they'd be grounded for months and certainly with all their phones confiscated . and whatever phones confiscated. and whatever your views , this is your political views, this is pushing too far. your political views, this is pushing too far . sack the pushing things too far. sack the teachers to patrick. >> good afternoon to you. you say has the world gone completely insane? just watch the bristol children's strike

and the horrific views that parents have forced on the children of course, they don't know what they're being told to chant. absolutely disgusting . chant. absolutely disgusting. and parents should be and the parents should be arrested for hate crimes . what arrested for hate crimes. what is china fish on about? well she did she did have her say there , did she did have her say there, didn't she? >> yeah, we did. >> yeah, we did. >> we've given her the right we did here. >> andy says children are skipping to protest. skipping school to protest. where education secretary where is the education secretary that's these that's gillian keegan. these teachers should sacked and teachers should be sacked and never work again with children. >> well, stephen, hello to you. says absolutely disgusting that parents allow children to demonstrate and shout anti—semitic statements . it's anti—semitic statements. it's indoctrination and they should be arrested in the schools that have allowed this. should be ashamed . well, some would say ashamed. well, some would say that they weren't actually anti—semitic statements . they anti—semitic statements. they are calling for peace now. >> hands of a scottish water workers have begun a four day strike in a dispute over pay and grading the publicly owned firm faces criticism for awarding its

bosses £3 million since 2021. the strike is set to continue over the next three months, with every round of action beginning on a friday. joining us now is our scotland reporter toby maguire . tony, what do you what maguire. tony, what do you what have you been hearing ? have you been hearing? >> good afternoon. well, certainly, as you said, today is the first of what could be a total of 48 days out of work for many of the members of the unions up here in scotland and here at scottish waters hq and outskirts of glasgow , there was outskirts of glasgow, there was quite a sizeable contingent from the gmb union this morning. now they join members from arm unite as well as unison as they walk out from friday to monday every week for the next 12 weeks. now, this is over a proposed pay increase from the bosses here at scottish water, which came with quite a sizeable caveat, and that was that if they also needs

to accept a new grading system, but that grading system would see some of the lowest paid workers lose upwards of £5,000 a yeah workers lose upwards of £5,000 a year. so now humza yousaf was questioned quite direct about this at first. ministers questions yesterday. so let's maybe have a quick listen as to what he had to say. >> remuneration i had mentioned of course, that scottish water does have to be competitive if looked for at example, the salary is of course a high salary is of course a high salary , £245,000. salary, £245,000. >> compare that to welsh water where the base salary is £341,000 or united utilities, where the base salary is £971,000. >> now, the reason why i mention thatis >> now, the reason why i mention that is because these are from salary comparison tables for 20 to 23 is that we have to make sure that scottish water is able to attract the best talent right across the country and indeed right across the world. >> but these remuneration , when

>> but these remuneration, when it comes to the bonus element of any remuneration package, bonuses are only paid in the event of outperformance of demand targets that are and this is crucial verify by independent regulators . regulators. >> now, 1.1 million in bonus is and put out by independent regulators verified or not is going to leave quite a sour taste in the mouth of anybody who is facing down missing out on an extra £5,000 per year . who is facing down missing out on an extra £5,000 per year. but certainly this is all part of the story and we need to kind of expand and slightly to kind of consider the performance in the pubuc consider the performance in the public eye of how scotland's scottish water has been in the last few years. now this morning we reported that 50 out of scotland's 89 bathing waters have now got far too much toxic material or sewage in them, much of which is coming down off the hills. but certainly this is all

happening on the watch of the three executives here who have paid themselves these bonuses since 2021. certainly today, the mood on the picket line was was quite merry, as you would expect it for the first day of 48, potential days of strikes . but potential days of strikes. but as we kind of go into the darkest, kind of coldest points of winter, we can expect that, you know, it will take quite a lot for the defiance to show through turning away from the company itself. >> can i ask what the impact is on customers of scottish water? are they seeing supplies cut off or is supply other suppliers carrying on despite the walkout? >> it's funny, you should say that, actually, because just before i am set up here, it's the hq. there was an incident where scottish water, who had previously said that they were arranging you know, other methods for people should they need any assistance , because of need any assistance, because of course, anything to do with sewage drainage or water supply would not be touched by the usual staff until tuesday given

the strike. and already up in thurso, there's an issue with the water supply. so scottish water already putting into plan their actions to get that water back to those customer orders. so yeah we are already seeing that kind of plan coming out in motion now . motion now. >> tony mcguire thank you very much for explaining all that you are watching and listening to gb news. lots more to talk to you aboutin news. lots more to talk to you about in the next hour. so stay with .

chancellor jeremy >> now, speaking earlier, chancellorjeremy hunt distanced chancellor jeremy hunt distanced himself from ms braverman's choice of language. here's what he said. >> as many other cabinet ministers have said , the words ministers have said, the words that she used are not words that i myself would have used, but i have a productive relationship with her as a colleague , and with her as a colleague, and i've always given her the money that she needs to fund the police to bring down crime and to fund the immigration and asylum system . asylum system. >> well, we can cross to westminster and speak with our political correspondent, olivia utley olivia. the prime minister, it sounds like, is in an absolute quandary over what to do here. well absolutely. >> he is stuck between a rock and a hard place. the question of whether or not he should sack her comes down technically to the ministerial code. now the ministerial code says that all matters of policy content must be agreed by number 10 before any publication in a newspaper. while suella bravermans team could quite compellingly argue

that the piece that she wrote in the times didn't actually contain any policies. so there is a there is a fair argument that she did not break the ministerial code . but of course ministerial code. but of course that isn't the only issue which rishi having to juggle rishi sunak is having to juggle here. problem is about here. the big problem is about perception. now on the suella braverman wing of the conservative party, there are about 50 or 60 mps who staunchly support the home secretary, who thinks she is one of the few politicians within the cabinet who actually is able to resonate with ordinary people. she speaks her mind. she's known as a sort of conviction politician , and of conviction politician, and those 50 or 60 mps would kick up a real fuss if she were to be sacked . but on the more moderate sacked. but on the more moderate wing of the party, the left of the party, if you like, there are another 40 or 50 mps who are very outspokenly criticising the home secretary. you've got mps giving briefings to newspapers to broadcast journalists like me saying that she is irresponsible, that she's even dangerous, that she should no longer be conservative. home

secretary rishi rishi sunak has to really carefully balance the interests of those two different groups because at the moment, his own position in the parliamentary party is very, very unstable. after losing those two by elections recently , those two by elections recently, unprecedented losses to the laboun unprecedented losses to the labour. he knows that he's not the most popular person and he's really got to listen to what his mps have to say to keep himself shored up before the next election. i mean, there's no real risk that he actually gets voted out before an election. the conservatives know that that would be electoral suicide for them just losing one leader and getting sunak getting another. but sunak does not want be a deeply, deeply not want to be a deeply, deeply unpopular party leader before going into the next election . going into the next election. and he really does take that risk he chooses to sack risk if he chooses to sack suella braverman. on the other hand, if the protest tomorrow do kick off and if there are bad scenes at the armistice day parade this weekend, then it could be said that suella braverman has inflamed tensions

and then rishi sunak will be criticised for not being strong enough to get rid of her this week . so sort of whatever week. so sort of whatever decision he takes now it's a bit of a lose lose lviv this talk isn't in westminster of a of a reshuffle imminently , maybe reshuffle imminently, maybe monday . monday. >> is that right? will the v1 and if so, who could replace do you think, suella braverman ? i you think, suella braverman? i mean robert jenrick of course is the immigration minister, but he's hardly from the right, is he? i mean, who can who could replace, do you think, someone, someone, someone so important to the braverman ? the right as braverman? >> well, there have been rumours about a reshuffle for a long time now, but it is thought that it could be a sort of slightly more elegant solution to the situation that sunak finds himself to do a bit more of a himself in to do a bit more of a wider rather than wider reshuffle rather than simply get of suella simply get rid of suella braverman and risk the wrath of the right as you say, chris. rishi sunaks personal choice will probably be someone like robert jenrick, who a close robert jenrick, who is a close personal ally of and who personal ally of his and who some say has been essentially

running the home office. and suella braverman has apparently been of a figurehead. been been more of a figurehead. but say, politically , but as you say, politically, that would be a very difficult decision for him because suella braverman in that job. rishi braverman is in that job. rishi sunak picked her for that job in a part she does a large part because she does appeal the right of the appeal to the right of the party. she is needed there to keep his his very fragile coalition charleton of mps together. now who could he promote to that position? who from the right of the party? who would appeal to that base and the base of voters and members? let's not forget as well, one opfion let's not forget as well, one option would be kemi badenoch. she is a she's a darling of the tory, right. and to some extent of the tory centre too. she was did surprise well in the leadership contest at the end of last year. really though, he doesn't have that many options. there aren't too many sort of figures from the right of the party who have been promoted enough that they are now in a position that they could become home secretary. which is another reason why rishi sunak might just hold on to who he's got and

where are we at? >> olivia with the investiture action into how this article was published without a number 10 sign . off. sign. off. >> well, it's not much clearer than it was yesterday, but what it seems happened was suella braverman sent an original draft of this piece to the times. the times then received an updated copy of the piece where a few sentences had been softened . so, sentences had been softened. so, for example, in the original piece , the home secretary said piece, the home secretary said that there was ample evidence that there was ample evidence that there was ample evidence that the metropolitan police were essentially favoriting palestinian protesters over, for example , anti—lockdown example, anti—lockdown protesters, that sentence and a couple like it were were taken out in the second draft. but there were other phrases used , there were other phrases used, used that made it to the final draft, which the prime minister's spokesman has been pretty clear. number 10 tried to take out . so it does seem on the take out. so it does seem on the face of it, as though suella braverman defied the instruction

from number 10 director instructions from number 10 to take out a number of offending sentences that may transpire not to be the case. sometimes these errors are made . perhaps it was errors are made. perhaps it was a case of a special adviser missing a sentence or something like that . but on the face of like that. but on the face of it, it does look as though suella braverman ignored advice from number 10. now, is that breaking the ministerial code? probably not. but is it undermining rishi sunaks authority ? perhaps olivia utley . authority? perhaps olivia utley. >> thank you. now joining us now is tory member of parliament for ipswich, tom hunt . ipswich, tom hunt. >> tom, can i see you there? are you there? tom hunt's there. afternoon, tom. afternoon of course, you're no relation to jeremy hunt. he's the chancellor. but jeremy hunt has been slightly leaving. your colleague . suella colleague there. suella braverman by not saying braverman isolated by not saying if you use their same language that she used. do you worry that she needs her friends at the moment she hasn't got many

moment and she hasn't got many in government? in the government? >> i don't think that's >> well, i don't think that's entirely true. and it's certainly the case that she has a lot of support in the parliamentary party. >> i think it's, you know , when >> i think it's, you know, when the home secretary makes a lot of these interventions, whether it's on immigration, whether it's on immigration, whether it's protest this weekend it's on the protest this weekend , often howls of , and there's often howls of outrage from sections the outrage from sections of the established media and the political class. >> but actually time and time again, when see the polling, again, when we see the polling, there a sort of silent there is a sort of silent majority the public who back majority of the public who back her on migration, on her positions on migration, on backup on protest backup positions, on the protest thisso i very much hope that she >> so i very much hope that she can continue to be home secretary we have a massive week next week with the supreme court judgement. i hope we can get a positive outcome. we can get these flights rwanda if these flights to rwanda if we don't a deterrent. can't don't have a deterrent. we can't stop boats. stop this, stop the boats. >> mentioned there >> you just mentioned there howls outrage , but there howls of outrage, but there are people like former police people like former met police chiefs who are saying that what she has done has made their job she has done has made theirjob a heck of a lot harder. tomorrow when it comes to policing this

rally . rally. >> i mean, you've got i mean, i think it's reasonable to, you know, if the metropolitan police get it wrong, if they if they handle a protest, not in the right way. i think it's fair enough to call that out. i've had my concerns about how had my own concerns about how some these protest tests have some of these protest tests have been handled the last few been handled over the last few months. the fact that months. i think the fact that you able have a, you you are able to have a, you know, london, liverpool street train for example, train station, for example, completely taken over by pro—palestinian protesters whilst you've got metropolitan police at the same time tearing down posters and pictures of , down posters and pictures of, you know, hamas taking hostages is i think the fact that you have , you know, people calling have, you know, people calling for jihad on the streets and then, you know, the metropolitan police engaging in some antics about jihad and the use of the term and what people might mean by it's absolutely clear if somebody is aggressively shouting jihad on our shouting for jihad on our streets what they mean by that streets, what they mean by that and we come down hard on and we should come down hard on them. i've a huge amount them. so i've got a huge amount of for police. of of time for the police. of course do. but it doesn't mean course i do. but it doesn't mean i think they get it i think they always get it

right. sometimes they get it wrong. may do on vital wrong. we may do on vital matters is home matters i think is home secretary unreasonable to secretary is not unreasonable to point hunt, you're point that out. tom hunt, you're from of the party. from the right of the party. >> an ally, i would say, >> you're an ally, i would say, of braverman. have you of suella braverman. have you talked her recently? how is talked to her recently? how is she? how is she bearing up under the pressure this row? the pressure of this row? >> haven't spoken to suella >> i haven't spoken to suella this week . i mean, she's pretty this week. i mean, she's pretty thick skinned. i think she's she's shown that over the last few months. so i suspect she's just getting on with her job, to be honest . be honest. >> come on, tom, give us a give us a little bit of insight here. is this part of her strategy to become the next leader of the tory party ? tory party? >> i think suella strategy is to stop illegal migration. her strategy is to try and get net legal migration down to more sustainable levels . her strategy sustainable levels. her strategy is to try and fight so that we feel safe on our own streets . feel safe on our own streets. that's her strategy and i think it's the prime minister's

strategy as well. it's my strategy as well. it's my strategy and i think, you know, and i think that she's you know, she does speak for millions of people in the country. a lot of people in the country. a lot of people are utterly fed up of a lot of the issues that she engages with. and what would you say to those people? migration to the point she made. sorry tom, i didn't to jump there. >> but what would you say to those who say, actually those people who say, actually her strategy here is to provoke people to inflame tensions and to divide up this whole thing about, you know, we don't want anyone to inflame tensions. >> we don't anyone to divide . i >> we don't anyone to divide. i mean, the logical conclusion of thatis mean, the logical conclusion of that is that you never say anything unless everyone agrees with it. so clearly, sometimes if you're going to speak truth, if you're going to speak truth, if going deal with if you're going to deal with issues on, you are to issues head on, you are going to say stuff is a bit say stuff which is a bit controversial. you are going to say i say, it say stuff which, dare i say, it can a bit divisive, doesn't can be a bit divisive, doesn't necessarily mean it's a wrong thing to say. so don't i don't thing to say. so i don't i don't think that's a strong argument used by her opponent. she's saying has

saying the things that she has to and she's saying things to say and she's saying things which a majority the public which a majority of the public back on she's right to back her on and she's right to do sometimes in politics, do that. sometimes in politics, you've say things the you've got to say things for the devices. got to be devices. you've got to be prepared take things head prepared to take things head on. there's just sitting on there's no point just sitting on a for the entire time. and a fence for the entire time. and actually, a lot of the actually, i think a lot of the pubuc actually, i think a lot of the public firstly, public are firstly, for politicians speak directly politicians who speak directly to care about to the issues they care about the is what i look to do as the most is what i look to do as a member of parliament is what she's to do as home secretary. >> tom there are rumours, aren't there, as know, there there, as you know, that there could be a reshuffle as soon as monday is celebrated. de—man is moved. course, moved. apart from, of course, you him, which may you replacing him, which may or may happen, else is may not happen, but who else is the person, do you the best placed person, do you think? right of the think? from the right of the party to become the home party to become the new home secretary? because the risk isn't that if he moves braverman from top job, the right from that top job, the right will feel, well, who's who's our person at the top of government? >> not going to >> i mean, i'm not going to engagein >> i mean, i'm not going to engage in speculation about a reshuffle. i mean, i've heard about a million different data reshuffle may be. reshuffle may or may not be. i've idea when i've got absolute no idea when the minister is going to the prime minister is going to be carrying out a reshuffle. i think that the home secretary is

doing i hope she doing a good job. i hope she remains in place whenever that reshuffle look, the reshuffle comes. but look, the key week is going to key thing next week is going to be what happens wednesday. it be what happens on wednesday. it is paramount importance. is of paramount importance. people about the people rightly talk about the importance autumn importance of the autumn statement, and, importance of the autumn staty know, , and, importance of the autumn statyknow, the and, importance of the autumn statyknow, the budget. and, importance of the autumn statyknow, the budget. butand, you know, the budget. but actually think potentially actually i think potentially next even bigger next week could be even bigger in its significance, in terms of its significance, you think it's, you you know, and i think it's, you know, want to have positive know, i want to have a positive outcome. and if we get a green light from court, i then light from supreme court, i then want have a timeline for when want to have a timeline for when we can expect the first planes want to have a timeline for when wetake expect the first planes want to have a timeline for when wetake expyand 1e first planes want to have a timeline for when wetake expyand 1ewant planes want to have a timeline for when wetake expyand 1ewant them es want to have a timeline for when wetake expyand 1ewant them to to take off. and i want them to take off at scale. i want lots of planes to take off. i won't be illegal migrants who are currently hotel the currently in the hotel in the middle ipswich be ideally middle of ipswich to be ideally sent to airport sent straight to the airport to go kigali . you know, those go to kigali. you know, those are the sort of things i'll be focusing on next week. of focusing on next week. and of course if for whatever reason we don't get a positive outcome when it comes to the supreme court, i'll be interested to know a robust plan know that there's a robust plan b we have b to ensure that we have a deterrent because, of course, without deterrent, the small without a deterrent, the small boats will continue. >> tom, given that >> but but, tom, given that importance, that crucial, importance, given that crucial, of on of course, the ruling on wednesday court wednesday by the supreme court

is important, the following week we net migration figures for we get net migration figures for a be a big a year that will be a big number. really important, number. it's really important, isn't the and home isn't it, that the pm and home secretary in secretary are walking in lockstep they agree lockstep together. they agree they are getting on. they're not at loggerheads. is not at loggerheads. that is not happening the moment. is that happening at the moment. is that not the reason really not the case? the reason really why i miss braverman might lose herjob? >> i think actually to be >> well, i think actually to be to give a prime minister credit, i think when we look at what he's done on illegal migration in terms of the illegal migration i he's migration act, i think he's actually gone further than his predecessors in many respects when it comes to small boats and illegal think there illegal migration. i think there is a debate about legal migration. and you mentioned net migration. and you mentioned net migration in numbers. and i think it is high time that we commit to bringing down net migration and that we start to view net migration in the round. it's not just about gdp, it's about gdp per capita, it's about pressure on public services, about impact on community about about impact on community cohesion, housing, all of these different issues. the key thing about net migration how does about net migration is how does it the quality of life of it impact the quality of life of british to

british people that needs to be at heart debate about at the heart of the debate about net and at what level net migration and at what level it should be. but, you know, i think that sometimes people overplay between overplay differences between the home secretary and the prime minister, on illegal minister, certainly on illegal migration. i think they've been absolutely close this absolutely very close on this issue and i suspect the prime minister is desperately hoping for a positive outcome next week when it comes to the miranda judgement. think he's very judgement. and i think he's very committed bringing to committed to bringing that to deal with illegal migration. >> tom yes or no, will suella braverman still be home secretary on monday . i think she secretary on monday. i think she will, yeah. >> i think she, i think i think suella braverman would be home secretary on monday. that's my, my prediction. um yes, it is . my prediction. um yes, it is. yeah. but you know, politicians, we can't ever answer lots of different ones. so anyway, yes . different ones. so anyway, yes. >> tom hunt, thank you very much. we ran out of time there. conservative member of parliament for ipswich. good to talk to you. >> now prince harry's legal battle mail battle with the daily mail can go trial. the high court has

wales, king edward the seventh appeared in two very notorious cases during the victorian era. >> so he can bring this case. >> so he can bring this case. >> and one wonders why what he really gets out of it, because as you know, it's a civil case. it'll be settled by money, not jail time. >> so one wonders really why he's doing that, because he has no shortage of money. michael what's your advice to him? >> of course, he was in the box, wasn't he? in that mirror group court case earlier this year? he'll have learned lessons from that experience. what would you be advising him now? well i'll and of course, there's the case. >> he's also taking against the sun, and that's due in 2025. so he's got a pretty busy schedule ahead. well as a witness, the only thing you can do and i spent two days in the witness box during the inquest into the death of his late much missed mother and dodi al fayed ad is to answer the questions as

straightforwardly as possible and with as little as waffle waffle as possible, and make sure the sound engineer has the sound up so that he can be heard. >> i think last time he did get into a little bit of trouble, he was flummoxed by some of the questions and some of the answers were a little bit monosyllabic, where more detail was required, but but he he did it with he kept his he was cool, which was most important . and which was most important. and there we have some sketches from there we have some sketches from the last appearance . the last appearance. >> of course anybody in their right mind? nobody nobody wants to go into court. it's a daunting prospect. it doesn't matter who you are, but if he's well prepared and he's well aware of his own circle instances and the facts of the case and he's well advised , then case and he's well advised, then it should be okay. the question really is, christopher, is it a good thing to do? does it look right? should it be that somebody in his position should

take legal action against newspaper ads? >> now, obviously, he's very much fired up about this . much fired up about this. >> he feels greatly wronged and greatly wronged over many years . greatly wronged over many years. and he's quite determined . and and he's quite determined. and we can all see that to see justice done and i think he wants to bring about by whatever means refer form of the press . means refer form of the press. >> and he might just do that. michael thank you very, very much. he's on a crusade and this is another positive step for him, isn't it, when it comes to taking on the tabloids? >> yeah, it's his day in court, you know, up to him. but it's costly. and if he loses, it's even costly. costly. and if he loses, it's evewell, costly. costly. and if he loses, it's evewell, he's;tly. costly. and if he loses, it's evewell, he's doing all right, >> well, he's doing all right, though, memoir is though, because his memoir is ranked most popular ranked among the most popular books of the last decade. that's according new list by according to a new list by goodreads. i haven't bought goodreads. so i haven't bought it yet, though neither have i. >> anyway. coming up >> now we are anyway. coming up now to figures out today show the us economy recorded zero growth. i didn't grow in the last quarter with a country once again narrowly avoiding

say 90% of it is people here have faced years of uncertainty around the steelworks. >> they're used to cuts, but it this feels different . the blast this feels different. the blast furnaces are the steelworks . furnaces are the steelworks. >> we make the best steel in the world. we always have them take road, rail and everything . and road, rail and everything. and it's a steel industry. i don't know how you can go green with a steel industry. >> scunthorpe will be like a museum . it'll be no good at all. museum. it'll be no good at all. it's been british steel and it's been here. >> donkey's years, you know, and it's we're down to the last one. we're down to the last steelworks here, and that's that'll be the end of it then. >> it's inevitable. the steelworks have got to move forward and it's progress. and unfortunately , sadly for jobs, unfortunately, sadly for jobs, that's what's happening . that's what's happening. >> british steel, along with the council, have also announced plans for an advanced manufacturing park on part of the steelworks site, which could create thousands of green jobs,

such as in hydrogen. >> it seems a little bit callous to think that you'll try and redesign new jobs and all at the same time as other people are going to have to change theirs. but we've got to have a solid future for kids in this area to want to stay in this area. we want to stay in this area. we want better paid jobs and high engineering jobs, you know, that sort and that's what sort of stuff. and that's what we want for the future for local people. >> british steel's proposals will an external will be reviewed by an external specialist on behalf trade specialist on behalf of trade unions if plans go ahead. the blast furnaces will remain operating until electric arc furnace installation from . late furnace installation from. late 2025. anna riley gb news scunthorpe . well here to break scunthorpe. well here to break down the latest figures, it's liam liam halligan gb news economics and business editor with on the money >> well, liam, that was that was a very fulsome report from anna. there i mean, 2000 jobs, that's a lot like you say in a red wall seat and an area which anna

conveyed beautifully , really is conveyed beautifully, really is one of the pioneers in steelmaking parts of the world, 160 years of steelmaking in scunthorpe . scunthorpe. >> you know, once you turn a blast furnace off, you don't really turn them back on again. you know, it's a huge cost to just the thing off and then just turn the thing off and then mothball so on. what's mothball it and so on. what's going on here is that british steel, many viewers and listeners won't have clocked this. it's actually owned by jinhui, which is a chinese conglom. that's right. and port talbot , our conglom. that's right. and port talbot, our biggest conglom. that's right. and port talbot , our biggest steelworks, talbot, our biggest steelworks, is owned tata , which is an is owned by tata, which is an indian conglomerate . it's the indian conglomerate. it's the way of the world. and this big chinese company that owns british steel, they're looking for the british government to put their hand in their back pocket hand over, you know , pocket and hand over, you know, hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers money in order to subsidise this move away from blast furnace steel production, which uses coking coal, which is carbon intensive towards arc electric steel production, which can use any form of electricity, which can include renewable of

course, like wind turbines and solar and so on. the thing is, and of course the traditional form of steelmaking is more labour intensive and that's where the 2000 job cuts come in. but another thing which anna didn't really have much time to focus on there, which i do think is important , is that when you is important, is that when you use arc electric steel making technology, you can't make what we call virgin steel steel from from from first principles. you can't make initiate steel production . you can only production. you can only reprocess scrap metal and steel. and so if a country like the uk, the world's fifth or sixth biggest economy, can't actually make its own steel and it has to rely on the likes of china, which now makes over half the steel in the world. blimey. and you we've got steel making you know, we've got steel making industry still employs 30 industry that still employs 30 odd people will odd thousand people that will go down deal . then we lose down a great deal. then we lose some strategic ability. some sort of strategic ability. we lose some of our economic mojo, some of our power. if we are not a steelmaking economy. >> liam can i ask you why it's

happening? is it a market led choice by the owners of this plant, or is it because of the net zero target? >> it's partly the net zero target because our politicians put such huge emphasis on net zero. i mean, carbon emissions in the uk have fallen faster than pretty much in any industrialised country. they're now way lower per head than they are in france or or america , or are in france or or america, or certainly much, much lower than china and india. it's also cheapen china and india. it's also cheaper, i'm afraid , because cheaper, i'm afraid, because energy prices are so high in this country that industrial electricity is really, really expensive . in the uk it's not. expensive. in the uk it's not. it's very rarely subsidies used and i won't bore you with it. but the way our marginal cost pricing energy market works and the intermittency of renewables means that, you know, contrary to almost everything that politicians will tell you as is the reliance on renewables goes up and there's more intermittency in the system when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine, more gas fired power stations have to be

kept on standby and only used occasionally, which is really , occasionally, which is really, really expensive because you've got all the cost of keeping them on standby. and so electricity actually gets more expensive. now, a lot of people maybe not gb news viewers and listeners, but a lot of people would think that's a completely heretical thing to say. it is axiomatically true, too, that under the current arrangement, as we rely more on renewables , as we rely more on renewables, the cost of energy goes up . even the cost of energy goes up. even if the cost of the renewable energy is actually quite low . energy is actually quite low. because you've got the because if you've got the renewable energy, you have to have the gas fired power station on standby because we ain't saudi the sun doesn't saudi arabia. the sun doesn't always shine and so this is why steelmaking is we move towards net zero is becoming ever more expensive in the uk even though you know steelmakers around the world we have some of the best, most knowledgeable steelworkers in the world as you heard in anna's package, those people weren't idly boasting. we do make absolutely fantastic high quality steel. it's just really

expensive because it's such an energy intensive process, just want to ask you something on a completely different note. >> when you do the weekly shop, do you like to use the self—service? >> no, i don't. i stand there saying i'm not being paid to do the job of somebody on the supermarket checkout. also you know, in my lovely market town in north essex, i see lots of older people struggling with those self checkouts , older those self checkouts, older people for whom, you know, having interaction having an interaction with a person working on the checkout that might be their one chat of the and that's a really the day. and that's a really important thing because we're asking this because of asking you this because of booths, which is the well dubbed the waitrose the north. yeah the waitrose of the north. yeah i know. booths well yeah. >> they've gone back to fully staffed machines. i staffed cash machines. well i think of stores, think most of their stores, i think most of their stores, i think there's something in that because people in because i think people even in the living squeeze, they the cost of living squeeze, they won't paying a few pennies won't mind paying a few pennies more in order to have somebody check out their goods. >> you know, you go to the >> you know, when you go to the states, not only there states, not only is there someone on the checkout, there's

someone on the checkout, there's someone packing your groceries too. say, sir, do want too. they say, sir, do you want paper or plastic? you know, i mean. well, the booths mean. well, they say the booths say from customer say say it's from customer feedback, just saying them. >> it's also customers saying, i think it's exactly right. >> use them. >> use them. >> right thing to do. i >> it's the right thing to do. i think i think people feel they're ripped off when they're being ripped off when these already massively powerful, profitable. powerful, highly profitable. all supermarkets are basically employing you for no pay to do their work to sell their wares for them. i mean, it. their work to sell their wares for them. i mean, it . we've for them. i mean, it. we've talked about this before, haven't we? there is an increase in shoplifting at the moment. we were talking earlier this week about the fact that staff in lidl are now wearing body cams in have to challenge in case they have to challenge people who shoplift . so people who are shoplift. so those are less likely to those people are less likely to freak out and maybe start getting a bit lairy as we say, where i grew up . and so that's where i grew up. and so that's quite an interesting thing. but i think also a lot of customers don't like the idea that they have to do all this work when they go shopping and supermarkets make even more money by cutting more and more jobs. these little part time

checkout jobs, they're really important for communities, whether students back from whether it's students back from university, people in older university, it's people in older age topping up their pension . age topping up their pension. and it's a very sociable job. this is the public square . this this is the public square. this is us doing commerce and being a community. and i think supermarkets who want to do away with checkouts altogether are tin eared and i think booths have done really, really well to do this. and i hope, you know, i hope that they get rewards from more customer loyalty for doing that. i say that an that. and i say that as an objective person. >> we're talking >> so we're talking about spending when look at spending there. when we look at the economy , we're told spending there. when we look at the thatzconomy , we're told spending there. when we look at the that it's omy , we're told spending there. when we look at the that it's flatliningre told spending there. when we look at the that it's flatlining and ld today that it's flatlining and we we should look at these numbers. >> i've been talking about this since 7:00 this morning. i'm a bit like a speak your weight machine, but, you know, gdp, bit like a speak your weight machidomestic'ou know, gdp, bit like a speak your weight machidomestic product/, gdp, bit like a speak your weight machidomestic product issdp, gross domestic product is really, this really, really important. this is the sum total of goods and services let's services in our economy. let's have look at some of have a little look at some of the numbers. so we know that gdp fell by 0.6% in july compared to the previous month, and it rose 0.1% in august compared to july. these are, these are really small increases . the economy

small increases. the economy hasn't really recovered since lockdown , of course. and then lockdown, of course. and then the that came out this the number that came out this morning, pip, 0.2% growth in september compared to august. and if you add all that up over the third quarter, july to september, the economy flatlined . oh, there you go. 0% growth. that's what we call it. and the uk is now that means the economy is stagnating. it's not growing, but it also means it's not contracting either. and so we're avoiding recession . unlike avoiding recession. unlike germany, unlike the eurozone . a germany, unlike the eurozone. a recession, of course, being defined as two successive quarters of negative growth . so, quarters of negative growth. so, look, it's not great. the economy isn't buoyant by any means, but it could have been a lot worse. an awful lot of folk with their spreadsheets and their snappy suits in the city of london were predicting that there be an economic there would be an economic contraction in the third quarter. we seem have avoided quarter. we seem to have avoided it now, which is all the it for now, which is all the more reason the of more reason why the bank of england holding england has been holding interest rates last two interest rates for the last two months we probably months and why we probably aren't going to get another rate rise. i probably think that

interest now interest rates have peaked now at fingers toes at 5.25. fingers and toes crossed. if you're saver , crossed. not if you're a saver, of course you want higher rates, but if you're a mortgage holder, personal we want those personal loans, we want those rates where and rates to stay where they are and start coming relatively sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> okay, liam, as always, thank you so much. go and do your weekly shop. >> i with my body cam, not >> i will with my body cam, not the self—service checkout. >> to show you some >> just want to show you some pictures that we are getting from the bar , a systems factory from the bar, a systems factory in kent where hundreds of trade unions under the banner, hundreds of trade unionists. i should say, under the banner workers for a free palestine. they have been blockading the weapons manufacturer in protest over the israel gaza war. now they turned up at the site at about 7:00 this morning, blocked two entrances and it's understood that 400 trade unionists are taking part in this action. and why? well, it's because they say that by systems provides components for military aircraft being used in the

bombardment of gaza . bombardment of gaza. >> that's right. it's the f—35 fighter jets currently being used by israel to bombard gaza. and clearly there's 50 protesters there holding banners on marconi, marconi, way in rochester, in kent. now, clearly what's happening here, pip, is they are trying to go after the actual what the suppliers aren't they and try and squeeze put the pressure on not just pressure on on not just governments but governments now but but companies providing companies who are providing military israel. so military supplies to israel. so it's a move, i think, by the protesters away from just pressuring mps, politicians and moving companies. moving into companies. >> absolutely should >> absolutely. and we should just you what bae systems just tell you what bae systems are saying . just tell you what bae systems are saying. i'm just just tell you what bae systems are saying . i'm just looking at are saying. i'm just looking at this statement now by system says it's horrified by the situation in israel and gaza. we operate under the tightest regulation and comply fully with all applicable defence export controls which are subject to ongoing assistance assessment . ongoing assistance assessment. so although we're talking, chris, about the protests taking place in london tomorrow, these protests, they are popping up

all over the country. >> what's interesting is there rather than rather than getting in the way of everyday people do know about their business in stations and rest are now stations and the rest are now getting off the actual getting to off the actual companies involved. saw some companies involved. we saw some campaigners from palestine action on the floor action also lying on the floor outside maker outside french weapons maker thales. we are seeing it thales. and so we are seeing it elsewhere too. >> people have a right to >> but people have a right to protest. looking at those protest. and looking at those pictures, were it pictures, they were doing it peacefully. is it peacefully. well, that is it from us for today. thank you so much for your company. have a great weekend. martin daubney is up next. >> hello again. it's aidan mcgivern here from the met office with the gb news forecast, but still some showers about through the rest of today, but increasingly, it's fine for many of with skies clearing many of us with skies clearing and turning increasingly chilly overnight. we've got low pressure moving away. that brought some blustery weather and heavy showers or and some heavy showers or thunderstorms south thunderstorms to the south earlier . thunderstorms to the south earlier. that's all pushing into the continent . meanwhile, the near continent. meanwhile, further showers continue across parts of scotland. snow over the hills northern ireland as hills and northern ireland as well as western england and wales. increasingly the

wales. but increasingly the showers will confined to showers will be confined to these areas, clear skies these areas, with clear skies developing elsewhere and temperatures falling away. 1 to 4 celsius, typically as we begin saturday and in some places lower than that. so a chilly start and there will be a few fog patches around first thing, but the fog will tend to lift dunng but the fog will tend to lift during the morning and any remaining showers across central parts will tend to clear away as well. so widely it's fine. it's bright, it's dry. well. so widely it's fine. it's bright, it's dry . armistice day, bright, it's dry. armistice day, afternoon , 1 or 2 showers afternoon, 1 or 2 showers continuing in the north of scotland. a bit of high cloud drifting in from the south—west. otherwise for the vast majority, it is a sunny afternoon. temperatures up to 9 to 11 celsius. crisp fine autumn weather. now we've got another frosty and in places foggy starts for remembrance sunday in the east, especially yorkshire . the east, especially yorkshire. seeing some dense fog first thing elsewhere areas of cloud and increasingly wet weather moving from the south—west that more unsettled weather develops widely into monday and tuesday . widely into monday and tuesday. >> aiden. leandersson here. join
