3:09 pm
people that have taken to the streets today in bristol . streets today in bristol. they're taking to the streets not just here, but in a hundred different cities and towns across our country . and the aim across our country. and the aim of today is for, as the organisers say, for ordinary people to voice their opinion and to call for a ceasefire in gaza. so far it's been a peaceful protest . plenty of peaceful protest. plenty of banners, plenty of anger, plenty of debate on the streets . but so of debate on the streets. but so far the police have been policing this with a light touch and that does seem to have paid off. >> well, that was jeff moody, our reporter there. but protests seem to be the thing at the moment because just stop oil protesters are holding a people versus oil protest today as well . it's in in protest against the government licensing more than 100 new oil and gas projects. now the group say that the government is imprisoned peaceful and peaceful protesters and protecting criminals protecting the real criminals who boiling our planet. who are boiling our planet. well, joining me now from the
3:10 pm
protests around on the ground is gb news reporter will hollis. will, so talk to me about these protesters. what are they saying? they're talking about boiling the planet. what have they to you ? they been saying to you? >> yes. well, this is just stop oil. and they're outside of shell's headquarters , as you can shell's headquarters, as you can see that there is a ring of steel and officers, at least 20 of them in front of that ring of steel. we're coming towards the end of this day of action, people versus oil and you can see that there's still around 100 people still hanging about. occasionally there'll be a speech and a couple of chants . speech and a couple of chants. but the reason that people are here are let's give three examples. one is because they say that oil companies are waging a war on young people, that there's a system that is condemning them to death because of fossil fuels. another one of the reasons is because they. mr rishi sunak, is in the pockets of big oil companies. now, a lot
3:11 pm
of big oil companies. now, a lot of the people down here come from all sorts of walks of life , from all sorts of walks of life, but a lot of them are young and a lot of them are grandparents as well. they've started out here outside of shell's headquarters, but they've gone around the city of london doing around the city of london doing a bit of a snake and circle, crossing a couple of the bridges at the thames. and as they've been doing so, some of those protest leaders have been arrested . it is what you can arrested. it is what you can start to expect immediately from these protests, particularly because police recently had new powers to arrest people under the public order act under section seven, people that are disproportionately targeting key infrastructure like roads . and i infrastructure like roads. and i had a chance to speak to one gentleman as he was being arrested and a guy called john lardner. well i've been arrested, according to the police officers, for being too slow in moving off the road . slow in moving off the road. >> and because the road is an a
3:12 pm
or a b road, which under section 30 or whatever it is, seven aiden is now now a punishable offence as far as i'm concerned , offence as far as i'm concerned, temporarily blocking the highway in order to emphasise the fact that that new oil and gas and coal licences spell a death knell for the children and grandchildren of these police officers and for you and for everybody. and i am being arrested for pointing this out because the government have passed laws to make protest very, very difficult to make. what before would have been legal is now illegal. so we have to ask ourselves, when laws no longer reflect justice in a properly functioning democracy , properly functioning democracy, we have to ask ourselves where are we going . are we going. >> well, there was a number of protest posters arrested here
3:13 pm
today. protest posters arrested here today . we don't know what's today. we don't know what's happened to them since, but they were taken away in the back of a police van. i did actually ask john, what does he think of all the people that get really frustrated and maybe would even support their kind of cause ? and support their kind of cause? and he said that it's something that has to be done because that's how strongly he feels about it. and he's not the only one here in london protesting that. just stop. oil should happen isn't. >> well, thank you very much. always good to speak to you. thank you for that. that's will hollis there in london the hollis there in london at the just but let's just stop oil protest. but let's go to israel now because go over to israel now because overin go over to israel now because over in gaza , israeli forces over in gaza, israeli forces have continued their bombardment of city with over 20 of the city with over 20 palestinians killed overnight . palestinians killed overnight. now, this comes as hamas claimed responsibility for a shooting near jerusalem that killed an israeli soldier . near jerusalem that killed an israeli soldier. i'm joined now by mr uri geller, who is live in tel aviv. uri, thank you so much for joining us repeatedly each week and telling us what's been going can you you update going on. can you can you update us your your perspective ?
3:14 pm
us from your your perspective? >> okay. i heard thank you, by the way, for having me on your show again, nana. i just heard all the conversation about the demonstrations . and look, i want demonstrations. and look, i want all your viewers in the united kingdom and europe to listen to what i have to say about this. this is very important. listen what ever this is very important. listen whatever happened in israel is a warning because the same people who did it here in israel, the massacre , are israel, the massacre, are already in your country. and they will do exactly the same and exactly the same. now this is a part of a master plan of the islamic extremists. what what we call jihadists . they are what we call jihadists. they are terrorists right now . now, they terrorists right now. now, they this is such a master plan to take over the western society. and i'll tell you how they're i mean, this is it's crazy.
3:15 pm
they're all over europe . they're they're all over europe. they're all over england. the same people, not all of them , but people, not all of them, but most of the people who are demonstrating there are jihadists . and in the coming ten jihadists. and in the coming ten years, 15 years, 20 years, they or the massacre that happened in israel will happen all over europe will happen, and it will happen all over england. so that's what i have to say about the demonstrations. now concerning gaza. what's happening there is we why hamas , happening there is we why hamas, isis? why don't they release the hostages ? is the women , the hostages? is the women, the children, the babies , the children, the babies, the elderly, the disabled , the elderly, the disabled, the holocaust victims , if they holocaust victims, if they release all of them , no doubt in release all of them, no doubt in my mind there will be a ceasefire . ceasefire. >> yeah, you know what you said at the beginning, though? some people might say that that is a big conspiracy theory. although ihear
3:16 pm
big conspiracy theory. although i hear you . because if we don't i hear you. because if we don't police our borders correctly, then there is no doubt the people from hamas could easily seep through, especially the way, as you've seen across europe, the borders are so porous . and with the carl porous. and with the carl heneghan, there's no real checking of who's where. so it's quite easy for them to do this. and we have heard reports that that often been that that has often been a master for many these master plan for many of these groups. might that groups. but some might say that it's i it's conspiracy theory, but i want to talk to you with regard to the hostages, because israel have admitted benjamin netanyahu has admitted that there have been way more civilian casualties than he was anticipating. and of course, that may reflect on why hamas haven't released the hostages. could could that be one of the bartering things they're going to use ? to try and use? >> look, i'm not a politician and i don't really know what's going in the inner circle of political. the political groups and the army and the navy and the air force. but what i do know is that it is a war and if
3:17 pm
hamas isis did not do this , this hamas isis did not do this, this this wouldn't have this would have not happened. we are waiting for the release of all the hostages release all the hostages . a ceasefire will come . hostages. a ceasefire will come. i release all the hostages. we must bring these kids home. we must bring these kids home. we must bring these kids home. we must bring their babies home. yeah. nana nana. they kidnap babies . nine yeah. nana nana. they kidnap babies. nine months old. babies >> but they would argue. i mean, would. they would argue. and you hear them arguing that this war started well before the seventh, and that babies and women and children are being killed in gaza as a result. but look , gaza as a result. but look, nana, i'm sorry to hear about that. >> women and children being killed in gaza. we have nothing against the palestinians and as itold against the palestinians and as i told you before, i am attached to a charity here in israel that is called save a child's heart. so far, we have saved the lives of 8000 children with open heart

3:26 pm
awarded to oil companies to continue to the red that continue to the red line that that has become apparent over the last 30 or 40 years concerning fossil fuels. >> that's exactly what's going on. >> it's exactly why we're seeing the instances around the globe, not just in the uk, particularly around the globe, that are that are now happening simply because of the co2 that's gone into the atmosphere that is at record levels . that is why and if we go levels. that is why and if we go back to school, if you want to go back to school at ccie level, we can do that say this is we can do that and say this is this the greenhouse effect . this is the greenhouse effect. >> that's what's going on. >> and according exacerbating and according as and that's according to you as a as meteorologist and others as a meteorologist and others who . who say that. >> but there are those who think differently. >> absolutely. mean, since the >> absolutely. i mean, since the c02 >> absolutely. i mean, since the co2 been recorded co2 levels have been recorded in the they've , you know, the 1960s, they've, you know, they increased. but under they have increased. but under half of that increase is due to human activity. and over half is natural. rising in co2 levels. and we only account for 12% of c02 and we only account for 12% of co2 levels . in terms of the co2 levels. in terms of the

3:39 pm
proportions of that change is the question. and to attribute the question. and to attribute the blame of the changing climate entirely on mankind seems a bit well, a bit questionable to me. but we'll carry on asking those questions. well now, though, it's time for this week's political spotlight. and joining me to shine a light is a man who sits in the upper house of parliament, but he's a former diplomat and merchant banken former diplomat and merchant banker. also once served as banker. he also once served as the airport adviser to the chief airport adviser to bofis the chief airport adviser to boris johnson as mayor of london and worked as deputy chairman of transport for london, as well as the co—chairman of urban design at london in 2010, he was described as one of london's most powerful and colourful politicians by the evening standard. well, joining me now to shine a light this week is daniel moylan, more daniel moylan, or more appropriately, lord moylan. good afternoon, lord moylan . afternoon, lord moylan. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. >> to you . >> nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> afternoon. >> nice to see you. >> whatioon. >> nice to see you. >> what aon. >> nice to see you. >> what a fool i've suffered since 2010 when i was powerful. >> i'm not powerful at all now anyway. >> i just sit in the house of lords and chunder away. >> be fair though, it's
3:40 pm
>> well, to be fair though, it's quite chamber. quite a powerful chamber. they can stop that government policies from going through like things if they things like rwanda. if they don't decide deem it . don't decide or deem it. >> it's certainly the case that the house of lords has quite a power of obstruction. >> if they choose to use it . and >> if they choose to use it. and towards the end of a parliament they get more powerful and more inclined to use it . so it they get more powerful and more inclined to use it. so it is going to be difficult for the government, i think, to get new legislation through the house of lords. >> it can ultimately the commons can override the lords, but that does take time. and does the government have enough time ? government have enough time? >> we have to see what the plan is. they don't. i don't know >> no, they don't. i don't know what going to do, what they're going to do, frankly. i mean, just frankly. i mean, it's just frightening. so you your frightening. so you have your lord had a very busy lord and you've had a very busy career in politics, seeing yourself as lord. now, did you imagine that you would a lord imagine that you would be a lord sitting in the house of lords? >> no, no, i never that as >> no, no, i never had that as a sort of ambition. >> i, i stood for parliament when i was quite young, back all the way back in 1983, and came
3:41 pm
quite close to getting elected. >> i lost by 230 something votes. >> but but that's that's enough to lose you lose by one and but then because i had to work and i had to have a job and so on, i never became a sort of full time politician. and instead my political interests were diverted into more like local government. being a local councillor, which i was for nearly 30, for 30 years, but that was in london and that also got me involved then in london politics and involved with the mayoralty. and then when boris became mayor, he needed someone who had some transport experience to come on the board of tfl and politico . i did that. of tfl and politico. i did that. i'd done a lot of transport type stuff, environment planning , stuff, environment planning, things of that sort, that was my sort of area. so he asked me to be deputy chairman of tfl, which was he chaired it, but i was the deputy chairman sort of day to day, and i was doing that while i was still on the council. and, and that carried on. that came
3:42 pm
to an end, of course , in 2016 to an end, of course, in 2016 when boris left office. sadiq was elected. he obviously wanted obviously sadiq is going to have his own people come in doing jobs like that. so we parted politely. nice exchange of letters and so on. it wasn't a bitter parting or anything. it was just a natural thing . so was just a natural thing. so i was just a natural thing. so i was really surprised. then when bofis was really surprised. then when boris said when he became prime minister that he'd like to nominate me for a peerage and i was grateful for that because actually it gave me another opportunity to carry on sort of contributing to public debate it really, because that's what the lords does . it's more it does lords does. it's more it does make decisions and it can hold things up. but fundamentally the government decides stuff. the lords is a place for debate and it's place it's a very interesting place for because of the for debate because of the diversity there. what diversity of opinion there. what are your thoughts then with regard calling for the regard to people calling for the lords to be an elected chamber ? lords to be an elected chamber? yeah, well, i think there's always going a case for always going to be a case for reform house of lords, reform of the house of lords, but always suggest to people but i'd always suggest to people who are thinking of that that the way to start is ask
3:43 pm
the way to start is to ask yourself, what is it? the house of lords actually does? first question , is that worth doing question is, is that worth doing and necessary? is it a valuable thing to do and how will it be done better under any new system? now my answer to that be what? the house of lords does most of the time is it scrutinises legislation in detail and we do it without any limitation of time or limitation on speakers. i know it's really bonng on speakers. i know it's really boring for the government. they have to listen to us, but all this guillotining stuff and timetabling stuff you get in the commons where they've got so many no more debate many hours and no more to debate , and so on. we , particular bills and so on. we don't have any of that. so the government really has to answer detailed questions about legislation and i think it is worth doing . and my worry is if worth doing. and my worry is if you had people who were elected doing is that main doing it, is that their main focus, like commons, would focus, like the commons, would be getting re—elected and be on getting re—elected and being seen out there in their photographs and so on. they wouldn't be interested in doing that detailed work on legislation. that would legislation. and so that would
3:44 pm
end completely. legislation. and so that would end that's completely. legislation. and so that would end that's the completely. legislation. and so that would end that's the worrypletely. legislation. and so that would end that's the worry ..etely. legislation. and so that would end that's the worry . buty. that's that's the worry. but there is always a case for reform . and course, you can't reform. and of course, you can't say that electing people is bad and there may be a way around it, it's going to be it, but it's going to be difficult to a lot more expensive. >> of course, i don't think i can put up with any more of these elections. i mean, the conservative party have just literally in literally tied themselves in knots and knots getting rid of leaders and putting in. and one of putting leaders in. and one of the backed, the people that you backed, though, was though, for leadership was suella though, for leadership was suewhen she was a contender , do >> when she was a contender, do you mean, the tory party you think i mean, the tory party i just don't know what to say about them. >> disappointed watching >> i'm so disappointed watching the they've but the way they've behaved. but do you think actually you do you think that actually suella make a suella braverman would make a better rishi sunak? better leader than rishi sunak? >> well, i think we've got to look circumstances we're look at the circumstances we're in and the party in at the moment and the party is in pretty shape . and i is in pretty poor shape. and i think the real worry is not who is the leader of the conservative party at the moment. the real worry is, as i saw a pollster say the other day , the public stopped , the public have stopped listening to conservative listening to the conservative party and that is because we haven't delivered what we promised to. i mean, i you know ,
3:45 pm
promised to. i mean, i you know, i'm quite close to boris. i would have wanted boris. i wanted boris to stay on as leader. i think the mps who got rid of him were making jumping off a cliff and they didn't know what was the other side, what was at the bottom of the cliff. they jumped out. of they just jumped out. and of course, they've into course, what they've jumped into is, has turned out to be an is, is has turned out to be an abyss. they haven't reached bottom possibly . bottom yet, possibly. >> it's probably still the feet are in the mud. at the are stuck in the mud. at the bottom is still coming. >> coming off that cliff >> coming down off that cliff edge. haven't realised edge. and they haven't realised that. reached that. they haven't reached bottom. they have bottom. i think they have reached think they're sinking. >> i just think they're sinking. >> i just think they're sinking. >> i just think they're sinking. >> i think you've got to have >> so i think you've got to have an that people actually an appeal that people actually listen the is listen to. and the trouble is that we haven't delivered on key things. the small things. we promised the small boats be most boats is it may not be the most important that people important thing that people worry they may be more worry about. they may be more concerned understandably concerned and understandably about the cost of living and things like that. i understand that. but they look at it and they say, well, if you can't do that, what can you do? and we've we've completely failed to deliver on and it looks like deliver on it. and it looks like now on it at
3:46 pm
now we won't deliver on it at all before the election. >> but with such a huge majority , how could they fail? how now i know i think the truth is covid did put a two year, you know, sort of disrupter into the whole thing. >> and the government , whether >> and the government, whether they made the right decisions about lockdowns is another story. but they had to handle it. they had that became the dominant thing. and i think they could got more during could have got more done during that but the whole of that time. but the whole of whitehall distracted and whitehall was distracted and focussed on covid and other focussed only on covid and other stuff never happened when i think should been think they should have been using make things using that time to make things happen, but they didn't have the bandwidth do it. bandwidth and they didn't do it. so trying to pick up so they're trying to pick up after that. heard boris after that. and i heard boris say and it's very wise of say once and it's very wise of him, said, the history of him, he said, the history of pandemics is the history of solidarity , followed by anger. solidarity, followed by anger. you know, while it's all happening, you stick together when it's all over, you get really angry about it all. and that was what in some senses he
3:47 pm
was a victim of. so by the time we were coming out of covid, he was he was being he was suffering from the fact that he was identified with the period that people looking back on that people were looking back on it instead of saying, it now. and instead of saying, you let's clap the nhs you know, let's clap for the nhs or they're saying, or whatever, they're saying, why? to the kids why? what happened to the kids and why happen to the schools and why happen to the schools and to the old and what happened to the old people. and they started to get angry it. and so he never angry about it. and so he never really, sense, recovered really, in a sense, recovered from that. and so we ended up with saying, well, he's got with mps saying, well, he's got to then , you know, then to go, and then, you know, then you get they choose. liz truss and not rishi, and then they end up with rishi. and so on. so nobody really has a clue what's going on since then. >> i just find it frightening watching the way things are going and the way they have behaved, talking about potentially having a new leader, you know, suella bravermans letter. i mean, do you think she was right to write such a letter in that manner? a lot of people look at that and see some people were calling it almost like a letter from a spurned lover. that's how were seeing it,
3:48 pm
that's how they were seeing it, do think? well, she do you think? well, i think she was was at was in she was there at the home? no, don't think home? no no, i don't think anyone's behaved perfect . anyone's behaved with perfect. >> i mean, what the look, the conservatives want a conservative is meant to do in dark days like this. they meant to stick together and stick by the leadership of the party. and that's what they've all failed to do for the last, you know, since they got rid of boris, they failed to do that. and that's they're falling that's why they're falling apart. comes time that's why they're falling apart. you comes time that's why they're falling apart. you know,omes time that's why they're falling apart. you know, yous time that's why they're falling apart. you know, you needne that's why they're falling apart. you know, you need these when, you know, you need these arguments about what is the right way of dealing the right way of dealing with the boats. view. rishi boats. she has one view. rishi appears have different appears to have a different view. it's they're all view. it's all they're all changing their views. so she's entitled to view. but it is entitled to her view. but it is true she should have been true that she should have been able through home able to get that through as home secretary she was in secretary when she was in government and if she'd failed to she should have to do so, maybe she should have resigned point. but this resigned at that point. but this argument was going to happen anyway because they obviously don't about what right don't agree about what the right method need to method is and whether we need to , how radical we need to be in relation to european relation to the european convention human on human convention of human on human rights and other things like that. order to achieve what
3:49 pm
that. in order to achieve what we achieve. we want to achieve. >> so what about rwanda >> so. so what about rwanda then? lot of then? because that's a lot of people are looking at that, saying it is and saying how ridiculous it is and how a prospect an how ridiculous a prospect and an idea. was never going to idea. and it was never going to happen. personally think it's happen. i personally think it's a i think an external a good idea. i think an external processing somewhere processing area somewhere else is good, good plan. a lot of is a good, good plan. a lot of countries do it. the un have used rwanda before for. what is your view on it? >> look what we're dealing with here is a number of large , large here is a number of large, large criminal businesses. here is a number of large, large criminal businesses . so stop criminal businesses. so stop looking at rwanda for a moment. look at what's actually happening in europe . these are happening in europe. these are large criminal businesses. they are run for a profit and they have a business model. and that business model involves taking people from places like syria and afghanistan, charging them a lot money. then shipping lot of money. and then shipping them one way or another across europe to where they want to go. and a lot of them want to come here they get they on here and they get they end up on the beaches calais where the beaches at calais where they're nicely with they're provided nicely with unsafe all of the unsafe dinghies, all part of the package. unsafe dinghies, all part of the package . and the popped in the package. and the popped in the dinghy and said, on, dinghy and said, carry on, because the time it sinks, because by the time it sinks,
3:50 pm
there'll a boat you there'll be a boat to pick you up you to england. and up and take you to england. and that's and we that's the whole thing. and we make profit and if you don't make the profit and if you don't pay make the profit and if you don't pay in we've probably pay us in cash, we've probably got some other way of having you in bonded labour or some sort of modern when you get modern slavery. when you get there extract the value from there to extract the value from you. if you haven't actually paid us cash, sort of paid us in cash, that's sort of business they are now. you've business as they are now. you've got find way. what the got to find a way. what the government's trying to do got to find a way. what the gcto rnment's trying to do got to find a way. what the gcto rnmeat's trying to do got to find a way. what the gcto rnmeat's making:o do got to find a way. what the gcto rnmeat's making that is to find a way of making that business model unworkable so that not them. that people will not pay them. so it's not profitable so that it's not profitable anymore. and of the ways of anymore. and one of the ways of doing would to say that doing that would to be say that at moment land at the moment you land in england, rwanda , which england, you're in rwanda, which is not where you wanted go at is not where you wanted to go at all, you have to send all, and you don't have to send everyone do this. everyone to rwanda to do this. you have send enough you just have to send enough people for the for the people all for the for the punters, so to speak, out there to say we're not going to pay that money anymore because there's guarantee we we're there's no guarantee we we're going to end up where we want to there's no guarantee we we're goi|weo end up where we want to there's no guarantee we we're goi|we could up where we want to there's no guarantee we we're goi|we could end/here we want to there's no guarantee we we're goi|we could end upre we want to there's no guarantee we we're goi|we could end up inwe want to there's no guarantee we we're goi|we could end up in rwanda to there's no guarantee we we're goi|we could end up in rwanda so go. we could end up in rwanda so that was the idea behind the whole thing. now, you that was the idea behind the who make1g. now, you that was the idea behind the who make1g. nwork, you that was the idea behind the who make 1g. n work, were can make that work, there were other methods proposed and discussed, but that's the one that was chosen. that's the
3:51 pm
route that was chosen to get them to and thus to them all to rwanda and thus to disrupt business model and disrupt the business model and make businesses unviable make these businesses unviable commercially it doesn't commercially because it doesn't seem to be the case that you can break them up through the criminal law. you'd need all the police europe police forces in europe collaborating, suppose, police forces in europe collaborating, suppose , and, collaborating, i suppose, and, you breaking down all the you know, breaking down all the different chains, all bits different chains, all the bits of chain in order to do it. of the chain in order to do it. so to tackle it at that end seemed the right thing to do. but doesn't have to have but it doesn't have to have everybody because everybody in rwanda because even if actually if you think about it, only 200 it, even if it's only 200 people, the first 200 people won't want be guinea pigs won't want to be guinea pigs like, know, others will like, you know, others will say, well, let the others go first. >> and if in place, >> and then if that's in place, that's the very 200 people. that's the very next 200 people. they're to pay because they're not going to pay because they they the they know that they will be the next ones. they know that they will be the nex that's the they know that they will be the nexthat's the sort of and >> that's the sort of idea. and you'd see if it worked you'd have to see if it worked or many would have to or how many you would have to send order for to send in order for it to work. but that's the the basic but that's the that's the basic idea. yeah >> what interesting because i think in view, then we've think in your view, then we've got minute left. what do got about a minute left. what do you anything you think? is there anything that the conservative party could do to save themselves as well? >> the conservative party can
3:52 pm

4:01 pm
gaza. and to call for a ceasefire in gaza . so far it's been gaza. so far it's been a peaceful protest , but plenty of peaceful protest, but plenty of banners, plenty of anger, plenty of debate on the streets . but so of debate on the streets. but so far the police have been policing this with a light touch and that does seem to have paid off, at least for arrests were made during a just stop oil protest in london today . protest in london today. >> activists met at the london eye near the shell headquarters. they marched against the approval of more than 100 new oil and gas projects . it's the oil and gas projects. it's the group says the government's imprisoning peaceful protesters while protecting those who it describes as climate criminals. jp p news reporter will hollis has been following the day's events. well, the city of london is at a stand still now as just stop oil protesters take to the roads . roads. >> you can hear chants of just stop oil, save our children, signs that say, granddad, what did you do to save my . world
4:02 pm
did you do to save my. world there are people of all ages here at this demonstration. it's called people versus oil. young and old, children and grandparents all here united by one cause, stopping oil. but we know that this year the prime minister, rishi sunak , has minister, rishi sunak, has licensed 100 new gas and oil fields . there are lots of police fields. there are lots of police here as well . they're here here as well. they're here because they are protecting the public, but they also have new powers that came in earlier this year to arrest people that are disproportionately trying to affect road networks, which is what just stop oil traditionally . do the israeli military is warning thousands of people to leave the south of gaza as it tightens its focus on hamas terrorists. >> their earlier warning saw scores of people move from the north of gaza amid the escalating conflict. leaflets have been dropped by the idf near the khan younis area, telling people to move again, this time westward . meanwhile,
4:03 pm
this time westward. meanwhile, israel says it'll allow two truckloads of fuel into gaza each day following international pressure. the white house wants larger quantities of fuel to be delivered on a regular basis elsewhere , major advertisers are elsewhere, major advertisers are pulling their business from formerly known as twitter. amid a row over alleged anti—semitism . it comes after the site's owner, elon musk, appeared to endorse a post that falsely claimed members of the jewish community were stoking hatred against white people. the white house called it an abhorrent promotion of anti semitic and racist hate disney, warner brothers and us network nbc are among those who've paused their advertising . the chancellor says advertising. the chancellor says there's a pathway to lower taxes ahead of next week's autumn statement, arguing the economy has turned a corner. jerry hunt says this is the moment to focus on growth after inflation halved over the past year. >> obe numbers and forecast will
4:04 pm
be published on wednesday at the autumn statement . but there is autumn statement. but there is no easy route to reducing the tax burden. the way we do it is by spending taxpayers money more wisely, and that means having more productive public services . more productive public services. and the creator of wallace and gromit and the chicken run films has enough clay for just one more film. >> after its supplier ceased operations when new clay products announced the closure of its facility near torquay earlier this year, aardman animations quickly brought all its remaining stock, according to the telegraph. the studio has just enough to complete its new wallace and gromit feature due for release next year. new clay produced a particular kind of plasticine , which is perfect for plasticine, which is perfect for animating stop motion. artists say using the wrong kind would be like wearing the wrong trousers . this be like wearing the wrong trousers. this is gb news be like wearing the wrong
4:05 pm
trousers . this is gb news across trousers. this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now back to nana . now back to nana. >> thank you, tatiana. good afternoon. if you've just tuned in, it's fast approaching. six minutes after 4:00. this is gb news on tv, online and on digital radio. we are the people's channel. i'm nana akua in the middle of hate marches across the country where some were calling for jihad. others were calling for jihad. others were holding banners that were clearly racist and a scarily large proportion of people were chanting from the river to the sea , which is deemed by jewish sea, which is deemed by jewish people as anti—semitic. the police were, in my view , police were, in my view, worryingly tolerant , which is worryingly tolerant, which is odd because in june, staffordshire police published a 12 page guidance document warning of discrimination through language and advised its officers not to use words such as man up obe or policeman . the
4:06 pm
as man up obe or policeman. the document stated that discrimination through language causes offence patronises and may be unlawful. well i don't disagree with the last sentiment, so what can be described as anti—semitic chanting has widely been ignored and justified by the police is allowed . but in staffordshire at allowed. but in staffordshire at least calling a policeman a policeman telling a colleague to man up and grow a pair, or using the term rape could be deemed illegal. seems a bit of a double standard really, but the guidance also goes further with gender based language. so instead of cleaning lady cleaner should be used. spokesperson instead of spokesman. regards religion, calling someone a christian or muslim should be replaced with christian people and muslim people. who has time for all of this when there is so much crime on our streets ? a much crime on our streets? a spokesperson for staffordshire police said that the guidance was which has been issued after consultation with external
4:07 pm
consultants to ensure that everyone is treated with the utmost courtesy and respect it. but surely the police have got enough on their hands without having to worry about hurting feelings through finickity language ? no wonder so many language? no wonder so many officers are confused as to whether they are allowed to apprehend a suspect. climbing a war memorial. i mean, what if they accidentally describe the person as a muslim instead of a muslim person ? if those who set muslim person? if those who set the standards for policing are so concerned , why don't they so concerned, why don't they focus on actual policing, like getting our bobbies back or probably can't say bobbies anymore ? that's probably banned. anymore? that's probably banned. getting them back on the beat. or how about reopening police stations and taking the admin out of the hands of the officers so they can get on with the job rather little tweaks in rather than little tweaks in language only up language that only end up helping apprehend ? helping those they apprehend? conservative nigel mills said conservative mp nigel mills said you'd think the police have enough on their plate without spending time worrying about which perfectly acceptable normal language they can or
4:08 pm
can't use . so in the middle of can't use. so in the middle of this crisis, in policing and deaung this crisis, in policing and dealing with peaceful hate marches where language is offensive and hateful and the police have to deal with this nonsense as well to those who are wasting time on these ludicrous guidelines. and turning our police force to mush . if you're that bothered about offensive language, put a stop to hateful chanting and protests and for goodness sake, man up, grow a pair and stop wasting time on points. double standard guidelines . well, before we get guidelines. well, before we get stuck into the debate, here's what else is coming up today for the great british debate. this houn the great british debate. this hour, i'm asking, is it time to axe the rwanda plan after a lot of money spent in about three young secretaries within a few years, court has years, the supreme court has ruled the government's ruled that the government's rwanda unlawful. so rwanda policy is unlawful. so today i'm asking, is it time just to shelve the thing altogether? i've got to pull up right now as well asking you that question it's on x

regard police. says regard to the police. rob says we really need be policing we really need to be policing the police . i really do not the police. i really do not trust them . joanna says. the trust them. joanna says. the police have one of the hardest jobs in the world. people are way too harsh on them. they do need policing. they make mistakes like other mistakes just like every other human does. that is true with regard to climate . dmitri got in regard to climate. dmitri got in touch. he's told us off. he says jim dale always gets shouted down when he comes on, and he's the only one with real facts. so if take the time to research if you take the time to research them, will see that termites them, you will see that termites do not produce anywhere near as much co2 as humans , that soil much co2 as humans, that soil samples and tree plant samples do actually show the increase in humans contaminating the world. and they are accurate as they also accurately show when the first atomic bombs were set off. if it's if it is a problem of our own causing . now, that's our own causing. now, that's interesting. do you think so ? interesting. do you think so? michael says this, which i thought was interesting. have you taken this into account, though, dmitri? because michael says , please, someone tell says, please, can someone tell the eco man he means jim dale ,
4:23 pm
the eco man he means jim dale, that natural co2 emissions come from geological activity ? one from geological activity? one volcanic eruption can emit as much co2 as we create in a hundred years. in any case, co2 is not a greenhouse gas. it's a fertiliser. and we need more of it. that's what somebody says. what do you think? gb views that gbnews.com. keep them coming . gbnews.com. keep them coming. right. it's time now for the great this hour. great british debate this hour. and i'm asking, is it time to axe the rwanda plan? well the daughters racism banjir. daughters of paul racism banjir. i i said that slightly i think i said that slightly wrong, they're not here wrong, but they're not here to tell real life hero tell me off. the real life hero portrayed in the hotel rwanda. i don't know if you've seen that, have criticised the have strongly criticised the prime minister's plan to send asylum rwanda, asylum seekers to rwanda, denouncing it as shocking. now the government , denouncing it as shocking. now the government, in response to a supreme court ruling, deemed its rwanda asylum policy unlawful, is exploring emergency legislation and a new treaty with rwanda. so for the great british debate this hour, i'm asking is it time to axe the rwanda plan? i mean, we've been going back and forth, back and forth. it's like that song . so forth. it's like that song. so joining me now is peter spencer ,
4:24 pm
joining me now is peter spencer, political commentator emma burnell journalist and consultant, and also stephen barrett, a barrister and writer . barrett, a barrister and writer. so first of all, then i'm going to ask you, is it time , to ask you, is it time, seriously? stephen, i'm going to start with you. you're a barrister. you know the ins and outs of all of this . is it time outs of all of this. is it time to scrap or axe this rwanda plan ? >> well, 7 >> well, there's no need to scrap the plan as law. >> so what the supreme court made very clear and what i want to make very clear to your viewers is that we lawyers law is not taking a position on this plan. it was unlawful as it was set out because the proper administration hadn't been carried out. >> but had all that been done in advance and then the supreme court would have ruled that the plan was lawful. >> so you can have it if you want. i think it's then a policy question do you think this is what's going to stop the small boats ? and most people seem to boats? and most people seem to be be sort of fixating on the be to be sort of fixating on the idea of let's stop these small
4:25 pm
boats. again, that's boats. but again, that's a policy so i'll be policy position. so i'll be neutral, all right. neutral, if that's all right. yeah >> okay. well, interesting. so actually , it could have been actually, it could have been deemed lawful if they've got their papers in order and if they ready. emma burnell their papers in order and if they a ready. emma burnell their papers in order and if they a journalistmma burnell their papers in order and if they a journalist and! burnell you're a journalist and consultant . what you think consultant. what do you think then, heard what stephen then, having heard what stephen said, that actually they'd said, that actually if they'd got order, it got their papers in order, it would deemed lawful we would be deemed lawful and we could with it even could have got on with it even with do you think plan with that, do you think the plan should axed? should be axed? >> i've never been a fan >> well, i've never been a fan of the plan. >> not a fan the policy >> i'm not a fan of the policy decisions behind the plan. >> taking that aside, >> but even taking that aside, putting that aside, as somebody who advises on strategy, i think the problem with the plan now is that it's been proved that they can't deliver it. i think what stephen said is very interesting. >> they have not done their homework. >> they haven't done the background reading. >> they haven't done the preparation needed . preparation they needed. >> and this is a plan that's been being about for been being talked about for years now. >> so yeah, it's not that they didn't have time to get this stuff in order. they clearly have not done enough work to get
4:26 pm
what i think is a stupid plan in the first place. but others absolutely disagree with me. those who disagree with me should be more cross about this than i am because they are the ones who think this would work. >> don't. >> i don't. >> i don't. >> they're the ones who >> they're also the ones who think good don't . think it's a good idea. i don't. given those two things, those people have been let down. the work . work. >> i, on the other hand , and >> i, on the other hand, and possibly even more grateful for government incompetence because they're not doing what i think would be an unworthy able, unsuccessful and ultimately quite cruel immigration plan. >> why do you see it as cruel? >> why do you see it as cruel? >> they're only going to rwanda. what's wrong with rwanda? why is it cruel, emma? >> well, because, as we have seen from the supreme court judgement, their case is would almost certainly not be properly looked at and they could, as we saw with what happened with people from the israel scheme, be sent back without their judgements being made properly and you know what we are talking
4:27 pm
about people who deserve to have about people who deserve to have a proper judgement if they are then judged that they do not have a right to asylum, they can be sent away. if they are judged, they have the right to asylum, they can't and that is where this is a cruel because it was set out in such a way. so slap with people's lives and their sorry, but it works on the premise that the whole people smuggling thing isn't cruel in itself. >> i mean, surely that's cruel in itself. i'm going to to in itself. i'm going to come to peter spencer with the peter spencer to deal with the people smugglers , not not the people smugglers, not not the result of their actions . people smugglers, not not the result of their actions. hm. all right. well, peter spencer , i right. well, peter spencer, i think there can be little doubt that had the rwanda scheme gone ahead, it would have been a profound disincentive to anyone thinking of risking their lives in a small boat getting across the channel because they then would have been faced with the distinct possibility that they'd be flown off to a country with an extremely dodgy record on human rights. >> and it's an impoverished country anyway. and no chance of getting back to uk.
4:28 pm
>> but as turns out, david >> but as it turns out, david sorry, not david cameron's rishi sunak has contrived to dig himself into a complete lose lose hole over all this. >> first of all, he troubled those on the moderate wing of his party by letting suella braverman raise expectations and use all manner of language which many find offensive. >> and then after that he switched over, sacked suella braverman and lost the case in the supreme court anyway, thus enraging the right wing of his party. >> now the fact is , what's >> now the fact is, what's happening now, he's got this tapestry of ideas to make it happen anyway. >> but the reality is that hardly anyone thinks he can get this done because it is so complicated . complicated. >> and there is not just this stinky judges in strasbourg , but stinky judges in strasbourg, but also all manner of united nafions also all manner of united nations things to which we are signed up that go back to the second world war and the serious refugee crisis that the chances
4:29 pm
of his getting this through this time of the general election are pretty close to zero. >> and if, as the polls predict, the labour party get in the ditch, it anyway, stephen, why is it do they have time to read, bnng is it do they have time to read, bring this back forward and get this through before just say let's say imagine the next general election is let's call it january next year. >> yes , well, parliament is >> yes, well, parliament is going to dissolve on the 17th of december next year. >> that's all we can really say about a general election . and about a general election. and then there has to be a general election within a reasonably practicable after practicable time after that dissolution. that's what we dissolution. so that's what we can say . our constitution is can say. our constitution is more than capable of working at pace to make this lawful, if you want. and i want to explain a concept i've been trying to think about how to explain it best when we worry about best to you when we worry about the un treaty and the un ideas and these international law ideas, we only worry about them because they incorporate into
4:30 pm
our law. they're put into the law. think of them like helium balloons and we have we have used parliament to put a peg and stick them in the ground and they stay in our country because of that act of parliament. take that peg out off balloon that peg out and off the balloon will float to a realm we don't care about. and the only law that matters is the law of the uk. we had another court judgement from the court of appeal judgement from the court of appeal, was very, very appeal, which was very, very important a lovely appeal, which was very, very imp

4:40 pm
letter was scathing and it certainly was because the suella is a wasted year to end up back at square one. we do need to tackle the small boats crisis. we need a proper plan and not this gimmick which the tories are pursuing and which now, even if they rush the legislation through, suella through, we've seen suella herself in her second intervention in her article that followed a couple of days later, has there's way has said that there's no way it's happen before the it's going to happen before the election. it's all about politics. we need is a plan election. it's all about po stop. we need is a plan election. it's all about po stop the we need is a plan election. it's all about po stop the boats. need is a plan to stop the boats. >> but stephen said that we could legislation could get this legislation through we through really quickly if we really actually, really wanted to. and actually, the was simply the reason it failed was simply because they hadn't done their admin suella admin properly. and now suella presided as presided over all of that. so as much as i love suella braverman, even very even though i had a very embarrassing moment, know embarrassing moment, you know about both know about it as well. we both know it's bad. it's so bad. >> you going share is >> are you going to share or is it going to share? you've it you're going to share? you've got to you can't you can't tease us. >> well, anyway, so it was we were doing filming. suella were doing some filming. suella was because was there. i waited because i wanted meet her. i know wanted to meet her. i know suella we did well while suella we did them well while we did she did did it. then she did the interview. wanted get interview. then i wanted to get my picture. forgot that i'd my picture. i forgot that i'd already what? want already done them. what? i want
4:41 pm
to she would to do it again and she would help because it was get help me back because it was get this woman away. >> it is no, it is tricky when? >> it is no, it is tricky when? >> it is no, it is tricky when? >> i had that with i had >> it is no, it is tricky when? >> with i had that with i had >> it is no, it is tricky when? >> with joani that with i had >> it is no, it is tricky when? >> with joan collinsith i had >> it is no, it is tricky when? >> with joan collins country! that with joan collins country in of the night. in the middle of the night. >> yeah. oh, god, i'm so embarrassing. >> say embarrassing. >> she >> suella would say that she had. don't know. i'm had. i mean, i don't know. i'm defending suella here. that's not but suella not normally my job. but suella says she tried to. she says that she tried to. she tried to out the problems tried to point out the problems with legislation with the existing legislation to. listen, to. and you wouldn't listen, i.e. she's i.e. that he was. she's effectively him of effectively accusing him of having sabotaged his own legislation by not closing the loopholes all knew loopholes that they all knew were the problem is were going to. the problem is the lords going to the house of lords are going to block terms of that, block it as in terms of that, though. she's not mean, though. well she's not i mean, she's in charge of saying it, but the prime but ultimately the prime minister the crux minister decides what the crux lies with him. >> well, talked about the >> well, you talked about the letter, letter, was letter, resignation letter, was it? was sacked, it it? well, she was sacked, but it was political was more like a political assassination, it? it assassination, wasn't it? it really seen how really was. have you seen how seen 35 million views or seen it like 35 million views or something? it's something? i mean, it's incredible. she said , he incredible. and as she said, he broke promises. know , and broke promises. you know, and should we be surprised that the snake has bitten again? because look what did boris and look what he did to boris and stabbing in the back, stabbing him in the back, saying, ready saying, you know, ready for rishi. known to break his
4:42 pm
rishi. he's known to break his promises, sadly. and it is ironic that the only one that really took the flight from rwanda was suella. but let's i mean, i wish the supreme court had given me a call because they've got their facts totally wrong , because rwanda is safe . wrong, because rwanda is safe. it's actually a lot safer than this country. and i've got some facts for you because, you know, idealin facts for you because, you know, i deal in facts when the glasses go very listen in quali increasing in london crime is up 63. quali 22 drug problem. london 62% quali 24% violent crimes 57% quali 22.5 just walking home at night you are more safer in quali by 69. so where have the supreme court got their facts from? i think , you their facts from? i think, you know, they're not saying the court yet they were. how were they created with old under new labour? tony blair and they're not saying that rwanda isn't safe. >> what they're saying is that rwanda would send back too many people were asylum seekers, people who were asylum seekers, potentially to other countries people who were asylum seekers, pote weren't 0 other countries people who were asylum seekers,
4:43 pm
pote weren't safe. er countries people who were asylum seekers, pote weren't safe. so ountries people who were asylum seekers, pote weren't safe. so because that weren't safe. so because about 50% within the about 50% of people within the asylum rwanda get get asylum system, rwanda get get sent so their argument is sent back. so their argument is not that not safe if not that you're not safe if you're the streets of rwanda. you're on the streets of rwanda. >> because before >> one, isn't it because before they it wasn't. they were saying it wasn't. i mean. they finding mean. well, they do keep finding reasons. they keep finding reasons. they keep finding reasons . i'm reasons. they keep finding reasons. i'm going to be blatantly honest. >> another one. >> i find another one. >> i find another one. >> because the >> i think it's because the people black and people there are black and i think have this vision think that they have this vision that is, you know, they're that this is, you know, they're savage that's wrong savage or something that's wrong with one of with rwanda. rwanda is one of the places in the most beautiful places in africa. it's known as the jewel. and fantastic scenery africa. it's known as the jewel. and everything�*ntastic scenery africa. it's known as the jewel. and everything else c scenery africa. it's known as the jewel. and everything else like anery africa. it's known as the jewel. and everything else like that. and everything else like that. we met coco, who's married to simon de—man. lovely. she simon de—man. she's lovely. she said are beautiful. said the people are beautiful. there it's there i should imagine that it's probably safer, i think, than here, but i also suspect that there is some reason . i think there is some reason. i think there's sort of a race element to it, because i agree with you. >> i think there is a race element to it, and i think it's very i think it's actually shocking that they're saying this to this because italy's going to have similar camps in albania and italy's not only in the echr, but it's also got the eu as well. >> so it's got two sets of
4:44 pm
european courts. we've only got one now. i wonder if we'll one now. and i wonder if we'll see judgements there where see some judgements there where people have a jerk reaction people have a knee jerk reaction against getting ruled by >> but we're getting ruled by foreign from foreign judges. i've said from the of the echr. the start, get rid of the echr. i've always said, but we have seven other legislation and convention's still got to pass . convention's still got to pass. rishi has to keep saying, doesn't he? he keeps saying, i'll do everything in my power, but he's got to do something and we and the fact is, we need action. and the fact is, suella, his hands were tied . you suella, his hands were tied. you know, he didn't seem to care about it or care enough. and about it or not care enough. and he wants to make room for dave. >> know, my >> but you know, bring back my mate, dave. cameron but we mate, dave. mr cameron but we have way, you know, that's have a way, you know, that's £140 money and £140 million of our money and don't forget that barge is still sitting there floating with only six people on it. >> listen, i don't think that 140 million, actually, because if it was something else for education or everything, they would say it's just drop in would say it's just a drop in the ocean, they? when it's the ocean, don't they? when it's anything the ocean, don't they? when it's any butg the ocean, don't they? when it's anybut if was money for >> but if it was money for education, have education, it might have actually in schools. actually been spent in schools. this been spent zero this has been spent on zero people far. people so far. >> but, but, but, but >> but no, but, but, but, but the bottom is a figure the bottom line is a figure like that been as
4:45 pm
that would have been quoted as a drop the ocean. so my is drop in the ocean. so my deal is this is million a day, 140 this is 8 million a day, 140 million, i don't think that million, i don't think is that much. i was considering what we're million a day for we're paying 8 million a day for the hotels. and the hotels. yeah. and the rolling it. suzanne from rolling cost of it. suzanne from barry them get barry says get them there, get them people them fast. get them out. people who should go who muck up system should go out. what suzanne says. out. that's what suzanne says. she's berry. philip she's there in berry. philip says totally immoral. i get says it's totally immoral. i get we have to do something. but rwanda philip have rwanda really, philip, have you ever rwanda? no ever been to rwanda? probably no . and says if they act . and stephen says if they act rwanda, have a plan b or rwanda, do they have a plan b or c? the whole approach is pitiful. >> well, suella says they haven't got a plan b, are they a magical thing? >> i understand why lee anderson is your views. >> i understand why lee anderson is let's your views. >> i understand why lee anderson is let's welcome' views. >> i understand why lee anderson is let's welcome british voices. >> let's welcome british voices. i got our little move i hope we've got our little move onto onto the show. their opportunity to be on the show and tell us what they think about the topics we're discussing. should discussing. where should we go today? the back . today? yeah, the map is back. somebody's career is saved . we somebody's career is saved. we know we're about to roll. if it wasn't there, lee, what do you think? is it time to axe the rwanda plan ? rwanda plan? >> hi, nana. um i say this with
4:46 pm

4:53 pm
>> good afternoon. just fast approaching 54 minutes after 4:00. this is gb news. coming up, the great british debate. i'll be asking, is it time for main new main party in british politics? we've seen suella sacking people being sacked and the tories suffering unfavourable decisions and so on and so forth. so what do you think ? but. but next up, there's think? but. but next up, there's always something going on in the royal household and this week has been no different . and on has been no different. and on the menu , the fabulous angela the menu, the fabulous angela levin on what's been going on. we've had netflix. they've released the latest series of the crown, which covers the final weeks of princess diana's life. and the producers have
4:54 pm
faced criticism for portraying events of 1997. meghan markle as well. she's apparently moving away from the whole royal family drama . well, there's so much to drama. well, there's so much to unpack, thankfully. royal biographer angela levin will be doing that for us right now. angela, hello. doing that for us right now. angthere ello. doing that for us right now. angthere ella lot our talk >> there is a lot our talk succinctly and quick. >> i won't interrupt . >> i won't interrupt. >> i won't interrupt. >> that's code for we'll go backwards for meghan was actually out at some do and she did all the turn right turn left and she said what she really wants to do now huge smile was to make people feel and i burst out laughing because i thought it was phil what ? it was phil what? >> what did she actually mean? but i think it was one of those woke sort of things. and she was wearing beige , which she made wearing beige, which she made a huge complaint about that. she said the royal family made her because they didn't want to her use any bright colours. so here we have miss hypocrite again . we have miss hypocrite again. and if she really doesn't want to belong to the royal family, why is she hanging on like death
4:55 pm
for the titles and for the titles for her children? so i think we just have to wait and see. i think a lot of these things i am going to do actually never come to any good. but she was excited to be there without a harry. of course , just smiling a harry. of course, just smiling and looking this way and that and looking this way and that and trying to look as as happy as possible. >> so what about have you watched the crown? presumably i watched the crown? presumably i watched all six episodes on thursday . thursday. >> yes. and some of it was interesting. some of it was moving. but what was a killer at the end was diana , who had died. the end was diana, who had died. and she comes back as a ghost. now, she's not a ghost in a sort of misty cloud and she's wearing a no sleeve top and she sits down in front of king of charles wearing the same earrings and the hairdo and everything that she had worn before. and she said that she really, really
4:56 pm
loved him. and it will always stay with her. and how he tears in in the hospital when he looked at her and saw her will always make her feel glad . and i always make her feel glad. and i thought that was appalling . thought that was appalling. >> so who was she to ? talking >> so who was she to? talking charles? okay. really, i just suddenly thought that i've always loved you and all this. yes, a bit. well it was a sort of nonsense way. >> and then she into where >> and then she goes into where the sitting and she has the queen is sitting and she has a chat with queen as well. a chat with the queen as well. and so phoney. it is so and it is so phoney. it is so unpleasant . it is so crude and unpleasant. it is so crude and vulgar . vulgar. >> i don't mean to laugh because i'm thinking, does she also chat to meghan markle as well in the rear? >> off you go . she wouldn't take >> off you go. she wouldn't take claire off. >> leave my son alone. >> leave my son alone. >> yes, but other things they made there was always something nasty about. although the characters i mean, charles was weak and often always and often crying . the queen didn't know crying. the queen didn't know whether she was coming or going. the duke of edinburgh was very tough. didn't want camilla anywhere near them, but said in anywhere near them, but said in a very crude way and didn't want
4:57 pm
charles to use a royal aircraft to bring down his body back . to bring down his body back. camilla looked a bit of a scrubber because all you saw of her was nothing very much . and her was nothing very much. and putting her feet on charles's desk. so i thought it was really quite tasteless . what about harry? >> what did they do to harry? well poor old harry had a tiniest little part, and he was just with his brother. >> and his brother spoke to his mother first before he did. so he was a little bit upset about that. he was a little bit upset about that . and that's about it, that. and that's about it, really. he was barely in it. he didn't want to be in it. and i think he got his way. but he had no impact at all. >> i thought he was portrayed as somebody who was drinking and things like that. and did they not him? not portray him? >> mentioned he >> they mentioned that he was a bit a rogue, but you didn't bit of a rogue, but you didn't see him drinking. you didn't see him doing anything, really. he was hardly on. he was one was really hardly on. he was one of the low attendants on that
4:58 pm
for now . for now. well, i don't for now. for now. well, i don't think he'll want the crown to do another part on him, actually. what was good was that when charles rushed to france to see what had happened to diana and we weren't shown her at all, he looked over what was obviously a bed and then cried and i thought that was subtle because actually we didn't want to see her with her face smashed in and anything like that. so that was a subtle move. so i give them one tick really ? really? >> one tick? >> one tick? >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. oh, >> yes. oh, god >> yes. oh, god . >> yes. oh, god . oh, >> yes. oh, god . oh, dear. >> yes. oh, god. oh, dear. anything else on the mind? >> as for scobie ? oh, yes. >> as for scobie? oh, yes. >> as for scobie? oh, yes. >> scooby. scooby doo. we like scooby doo. >> he has been incredibly unpleasant about the royal family, he said. very nasty things. he said william was absolutely fed up with his brother , and he went ahead and brother, and he went ahead and was work. so working with the
4:59 pm
television, the press to give him all the publicity and not harry. well, what an awful thing to say. what an unfair thing to say. a lot of the words he says about harry i found was exactly the opposite of what harry said to me. so i think it's harry and meghan say they don't belong to it. they have nothing to do with it. they have nothing to do with it. i don't believe a word of that either . that either. >> angela levin well, we must very cynical. well, i look forward to hearing our next royal roundup that is of course, royal roundup that is of course, royal biographer angela levin. she wrote prince harry's biography is gb news more biography this is a gb news more to the hour . it's to come in the next hour. it's 5:00. this is gb news. we are the people's channel. i'm nana aquarium for the next hour. me and my panel will be taking on some of the big topics hitting the right coming the headlines right now. coming up few moments. time up in just a few moments. time i'll speaking young i'll be speaking to a young man called joseph who has been

5:09 pm
very much. i heard very much. because i heard about this because am a maths this drug because i am a maths addict and i married at first sight australia and there was one it who had cf, but one girl on it who had cf, but then few years previous was then a few years previous was given this one drug that literally makes the condition almost as though it's cured. you're on the drug. i am. talk to me about what it was like for you living with the condition and the difference before the drug. yeah. >> so before the drug , everybody >> so before the drug, everybody was cystic fibrosis . every case was cystic fibrosis. every case is different. it's important to stress that. >> but before the drug, when i was a child, things were. things were tough . were tough. >> chronic chest infections , you >> chronic chest infections, you know, a small barracks worth of medication and antibiotics, frequent long term trips into hospital for iv antibiotics . hospital for iv antibiotics. >> you know , and that put a lot >> you know, and that put a lot of pressure on my own parents. you know, my mother pretty much had to sacrifice her career to make sure that she could , you make sure that she could, you know, look after me and maintain my health. >> so things were tough .
5:10 pm
>> so things were tough. >> so things were tough. >> but, you know, it's a it's the drug . like i say, it it's the drug. like i say, it it's not a cure, but it's a cure in in almost every other possible way, unless you want to start talking about gene therapy, it can it subdues the all the side effects and the ailments of cystic fibrosis so we can live a normal life or as normal. what is normal. >> but, you know, so what is cystic fibrosis? i mean, a lot of people know it's a lung condition, but what exactly is happening in the lungs? >> so cystic fibrosis, as i understand it, and i'm not a doctor , but it's a it's a doctor, but it's a it's a hereditary condition . so it's hereditary condition. so it's not those of us that suffer with it. it's not through lifestyle choices. it's not you are born with this illness and it's a disease that's spread through genes and you have to inherit both genes from both sets of parents. and it affects, like i say, mainly the lungs and the dietary system . and what's dietary system. and what's happening in the lungs is, as i
5:11 pm
understand it, we all produce salt within ourselves. and there's a protein that my cells just simply either don't produce or they don't produce enough of. and that's different for everybody with cystic fibrosis, depending on the genes that you've got, because there's a there's a variety of different genes. there's gene variations. so that and it affects every organ in the body and therefore it affects everybody with cystic fibrosis slightly differently. it affects everybody with cystic fibr(yeah,ightly differently. it affects everybody with cystic fibr(yeah, you're iifferently. it affects everybody with cystic fibr(yeah, you'reiifferelthe but yeah, you're right, the lungs produce mucus . lungs, as we produce more mucus. and and the mucus that we do produce will produce. it is mars is slightly thicker, which means that our lungs are more susceptible to chest infections, etcetera . and that's really etcetera. and that's really where it starts . and then from where it starts. and then from then on, that lung damage that that can be caused and is caused frequently then becomes obviously permanent. and that's when you you can often, when you were you you can often, like i say, the lungs get weaker over time and so is it like a scarring of the lungs that continues like, say, i'm not a doctor but but so basically your lung capacity kind of reduces because of the mucus. so over time, after chronic infection,
5:12 pm
the lung capacity will reduce over time to the point that unfortunately , you have to go unfortunately, you have to go and be put on the transplant list. >> and because i know somebody who had a i think it was i think it might have been a heart and lung transplant. is that what it's a double transplant she had.so it's a double transplant she had. so the two things get transplanted. what do they normally it's normally transplant? if it's typically again, i've not got much knowledge in this area. >> i've been thankful enough not to exposed to this sort of to be exposed to this sort of conversation with doctors. but i believe typically it's the lung transplant now , like i say, i do transplant now, like i say, i do not know how that works. but yeah, it's a it's a lung . when yeah, it's a it's a lung. when things get really bad , the only things get really bad, the only opfion things get really bad, the only option is, is a lung transplant and that doesn't even cure it from the rest of your body. >> just it just well, it doesn't even. >> yeah, it doesn't cure it from the rest of your body. it's a it's a faulty gene within every cell of our body. so a cure would be like a move to gene therapy. >> so you seem to have coped >> so you you seem to have coped relatively well. were you a sickly it not sickly child or did it not affect you? badly did it
5:13 pm
affect you? how badly did it affect you? >> no, it absolutely me >> no, it absolutely affected me every said, every case is every like i said, every case is different. was like i. i was different. i was like i. i was fortunate enough to have great foundations from my own foundations from from my own parents. i've got great friends. i've great family, great i've got great family, a great partner well . um, partner at home as well. um, and, but yeah, so , but it did and, but yeah, so, but it did affect me. absolutely it like i said, the chronic lung infections , i was, there was infections, i was, there was a penod infections, i was, there was a period in my life when it seemed sort of every christmas i was in for a, like a 2 or 3 week stint of ivs in the children's hospital, which isn't particularly pleasant. and what that does moving forward is it can obviously affect it's, you know, when your health is affected as well. i always say that if someone's not the that if someone's not got the health, haven't got health, they haven't got anything you anything and it affects, you know, health is know, once your health is affected you're you're affected and you're you're having attention from having to divert attention from just living to focus your just living to focus on your health, everything, health, it affects everything, especially child. health, it affects everything, espeknow, child. health, it affects everything, espeknow, your child. health, it affects everything, espeknow, your social child. health, it affects everything, espeknow, your social skills, ld. you know, your social skills, your education, all your your education, all everything. it kind of snowballs. so so this new drug league, talk to me about this new drug , how you got hold of it new drug, how you got hold of it and what why it's not going to
5:14 pm
be available to or potentially not available to others. so it's important at the moment, we don't exactly going don't know exactly what's going to nice recommended to happen. nice have recommended that a fantastic that whilst it's a fantastic drug at, you know, reducing the side effects of having cystic fibrosis , they've deemed it cost fibrosis, they've deemed it cost no cost ineffective i should say. so the drug itself is a cure in every sense . i mean it cure in every sense. i mean it isn't a cure but but in every sense you don't suffer with you what it allows your again, i'm not a doctor, but what it allows your our bodies to do is. not a doctor, but what it allows your our bodies to do is . within your our bodies to do is. within the cell. it actually allows access to the protein i was talking about before. it allows it providing our body makes that protein. all depends protein. again, it all depends slightly on the on the genes that got. and the genes that you've got. and the genes that you've got. and the genes that you've got. and the genes that you inherit. that's why there think three there are i think there's three different different types of drug they all drug available, but they all essentially function the same essentially function in the same
5:15 pm
way inhibit the, the way that they inhibit the, the cells to, to release the protein. and once that protein is released , the other side is released, the other side effects, we're talking about, which is essentially the excess , which is essentially the excess, the extra salt and mucus , it's the extra salt and mucus, it's it allows it reduces that. and therefore, like i say, you then internally on the inside, you you you've got a fighting chance to be as good as everybody else. >> so now you're on the drug. do you have a pretty normal life ? i you have a pretty normal life? i mean, you don't deal. do you have to suffer all the ailments now? has it literally transformed your life? >> has in yeah, it's quite >> it has in yeah, it's quite literally transformed my life. i mean, i, like i say, every winter, typically before the drug was accessible . i was drug was was accessible. i was on a rolling course of antibiotics simply because without them i'd be, you know , without them i'd be, you know, i'd catch a cold drop to the throat , drop i'd catch a cold drop to the throat, drop to the chest. then i'd be in serious trouble. and for me, as someone that's always, you know, as long as i could be, i tried to maintain a
5:16 pm
reasonable level of health and fitness. um, i've, i've, i've the drug for me is most greatly affected. the my lungs and that reliance on i no longer rely on a stream of antibiotics so i'm now not on any antibiotics . i now not on any antibiotics. i don't take any sort of saline nebuliser or anything like that. >> well this is you running. i mean, you're running and doing stuff now that's. >> yeah that was that was the great north running. 2022. wow and i did that for the cystic fibrosis trust, which is a charity that raises raises money to support families and children as they're sort of starting on their on their journey and they do all sorts of incredible research for the cf community. >> so your campaigning now to make sure this drug is available for people . i mean, they need to for people. i mean, they need to make it available because all for people. i mean, they need to maithings ailable because all for people. i mean, they need to maithings that le because all for people. i mean, they need to maithings that you ecause all for people. i mean, they need to maithings that you the|se all for people. i mean, they need to maithings that you the effects the things that you the effects on your development, the treatment that you'll have to go through it, through if you didn't have it, surely would cost way more surely that would cost way more than. . and you than. well, yeah. and you contribute to society because you're with us to do that . yeah. you're with us to do that. yeah. >> so that's, that's one of the,

5:23 pm
nana akua. it's time now for the great british debate this hour and i'm asking, is it time for a new main party in british politics now the uk political landscape is witnessing significant developments. the tory party is facing internal turmoil, eating themselves from the inside out. rishi sunak pushing ahead with the rwanda policy that apparently if he just made a few amendments, could have got it through the supreme court. but unfortunately it was ruled unlawful . we've it was ruled unlawful. we've also seen lord cameron make a return a dinosaur. i mean , bless return a dinosaur. i mean, bless his heart, but really seriously, he created brexit, then ran away, didn't he? the labour party also struggling to call for a ceasefire in gaza. you've seen the turmoil within their party. i wonder how keir starmer hopes to lead the country when he's struggling to lead his own party. in scotland, party. then over in scotland, lots of money troubles for the snp and of course the good old lib dems. don't get me started on them . even northern on them. even in northern ireland got stormont who ireland you've got stormont who aren't sitting. it's so many things going on. so for this hours things going on. so for this hour's great british debate, i'm asking time for a new asking is it time for a new main party british politics when
5:24 pm
party in british politics when i'm ben habib. i'm joined now by ben habib. he's leader for reform he's deputy leader for reform uk. dr. philip kinsley, cultural historian, roger gewolb, former adviser to the bank of england . adviser to the bank of england. i've missed somebody who's missing from my list. is that for people , there's somebody for people, there's somebody else there. um that's everybody. all right, well, i'm going to start with you, roger. please start with you, roger. please start first, you think? start first, do you think? >> think everything you start first, do you think? >> is think everything you start first, do you think? >> is right.1ink everything you say is right. >> i mean, both parties , you the >> i mean, both parties, you the whole political scene here in the uk, you couldn't make it up . the uk, you couldn't make it up. you couldn't write it. it's a west end play . and what will west end play. and what will happen?! west end play. and what will happen? i don't know. but you know , rishi is certainly know, rishi is certainly backtracking on all sorts of things. the statements from chance hunt over and over that we don't have the money for the tax cuts. i have been saying for many, many, many months that we do since last november when he said there was a £55 billion black hole, which i didn't believe. of course we have the for money our tax cuts. and i always said they would come just before general election time
5:25 pm
came up. do we need a new political party? yes it would be great if we could have a party that had people that were different and that weren't professional politicians. you know , kind of in it for know, kind of in it for themselves and not thinking about us. i think they're all so divorced from the common brit that it's frightening. >> well , it does seem that it's frightening. >> well, it does seem a that it's frightening. >> well , it does seem a shocker, >> well, it does seem a shocker, really. frankly, all right. dr. philip kingsley, what do you think? yes >> yes. i think it's difficult to hold the conservatives lviv party in anything other than contempt because they hold us in contempt. they lie to us all the time. not only do they lie, they do the opposite of what they're supposed to do. so if they say that they're going to deal with mass immigration on immigration will actually go up . if they say will actually go up. if they say they're going to deal with gender ism in schools, then we'll have more gender ism in schools. so they hold us in contempt there is space for a new major party there
5:26 pm
desperately needs to be a major party. there needs to be conviction in politics. there needs to be a party that deals with with culture. the big issues , which are cultural issues, which are cultural issues, which are cultural issues and we don't have a major party doing that at the moment. we have a couple of smaller parties doing that. we have the sdp and we have reform , but we sdp and we have reform, but we need those parties to step up and gain confidence and be bigger because it just doesn't seem it just seems a bit of a mess . mess. >> jerry hayes sorry i didn't mention you, jerry. that jerry, you're there. jerry what are your thoughts on this ? your thoughts on this? >> well, it depends what happens at the general election. >> it looks at the moment like the tories are going to in the tories are going to be in trouble and the general election i >> -- >> um, and then we get someone like suella braverman who's who's leading the i'm getting terrible feedback here. i don't think i'm meant to be. >> just keep talking. we can hear you, jerry. don't worry. >> that's all right. >> that's all right. >> if the tory party suddenly
5:27 pm
becomes a right wing clique and people like me, the one nation tories , um, are excluded , then tories, um, are excluded, then there will be a total change in there will be a total change in the political landscape . the political landscape. >> but i'm not so sure that's going to happen. >> if you have someone like kemi badenoch and people like me can stay in the conservative party, but difficult for but it's very difficult for a party, a new party to be successful . successful. >> the only party which has been successful in the past was the fdp, and they were pretty well non—aligned. >> they were not professional politicians and everyone forgets that in 1983 they were very, very close to becoming the opposition . opposition. >> there are about 400,000 votes. >> what i look out for, which i think is very dangerous , is think is very dangerous, is george galloway . george galloway. >> george galloway is going to harness the muslim vote. >> i can't take him seriously. after he played the cat in big brother. >> oh yeah . >> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. >> but a lot of i agree. >> but a lot of i agree. >> it's terrible .
5:28 pm
>> it's terrible. >> it's terrible. >> banana. >> banana. >> no, it's that's one side that's worrying. >> it's hopeless to divide the labour party . labour party. >> all right. well benabib he says that george galloway. watch out for him. macavity what do you think, ben ? well, i am you think, ben? well, i am deputy leader of reform uk and i only joined reform uk because i, i came to the conclusion that neither of the main parties are going to deliver for this country. >> i mean, if you look at both the main parties, they both believe in large state intervention. they both believe intervention. they both believe in large state borrowing, large state spending, high taxation. neither party wishes or is able to control immigration, as one of the previous speakers said , of the previous speakers said, there's a complete blind spot on culturalism and the culture of the united kingdom promoting it and protecting it. and this is not just a cultural debate. when we talk about culture, we're actually talking about the heart of the nation , the homogeneity, of the nation, the homogeneity, the happiness and settlement of british people. and there's only one party, frankly, that does
5:29 pm
that, which is reform uk . and we that, which is reform uk. and we are already getting to be a main party this week after the suella braverman meltdown , when we've braverman meltdown, when we've polled in double digits on four separate opinion polls. polled in double digits on four separate opinion polls . and so separate opinion polls. and so we, you know, we're going to present a real threat to the conservative party, a real threat to the labour party in the next election . and we are the next election. and we are going to deliver policies which will economically charge the united kingdom and protect the cultural integrity of it. one of the things that suella braverman said that was so right was that this country is facing an existential threat , and we've existential threat, and we've been taken there by the labour party, followed by the conservative party. they both they've had their day. they need to get out of the way and let people like me who are not convicted, who are not profession politicians, but are in it because of conviction, show the way reform uk is the next main party. you would say that though, ben, with all respect . respect. >> of course i would. well, of
5:30 pm
course you're going to say that you're not to say you're not going to say something but, but, something else. but but, but, philip, you're hearing this, do you a party like reform all the ultimately do is remove make it easier for people like the labour party to win and split a sort of more right of centre right wing voters. people like to say , what do you think, to say, what do you think, philip ? do you think that there philip? do you think that there that an actual another party could come in? >> no, i think they could do. but i think i think it's a long game. nana i think i think we're talking long, long term here because what we've got at the moment, we've seen the labour party have played identity politics for the last 30 years and we're seeing on the streets now the payment. you know, they're being paid out, aren't they? they're having their having their a terrible echo here. so i can barely hear myself. they're having they're having their mps being attacked almost on the streets. okay. they're having mobs going right into in to where their where their offices are. it's terrible. but that's where we
5:31 pm
are. we are not in all reality, going to have a small as much as i want reformed to really stand up and be counted. we are not going to have reform and we're not going to have the sdp making a huge impact at this time. but i think it's a longer game and maybe reform will do in the future. yeah, i think so, yes. >> but any other party, even if it wasn't reform . another one. roger >> well, it's interesting us sitting here discussing this strikes me rather as the children in their room talking about the parents in the next room, because you know, we're not going to get anywhere until we have proportional representation when no party can get in other than the two main parties. and that's the big problem that we've had. and labour will probably resist that because the system has given the tories 67 years and labour 33 years of the hundred last and
5:32 pm
labour will lose a lot of mps. the studies show if we do have proportional representation. so i'm afraid that the current first past the post vote system prevents any party. i know a lot of people want to go to reform. >> i'm going to get gerry hayes in. finally, you've got about 20s gerry respond to that 20s gerry to respond to that because shaking head. because he's shaking his head. >> it's going happen. we >> it's not going to happen. we had a vote on av and the worst thing about proportional thing about the proportional representation, it gets rid of the link between the mp and the constituents because what proportional representation does , yes, suck up to your party. >> you suck up to the party list , you don't suck up to the electorate. >> that's wrong. >> that's wrong. >> well, okay. so. so realistically then, is there room another third party? i know your answer, ben. i'm not even going to ask you. philip what do you ask me? nana yeah , you think you ask me? nana yeah, you think that? philip so this time around, do you think another party could come in other than the main two, not this time round, next time round, no ,
5:33 pm
round, but next time round, no, no. from and roger. no. from gerry and roger. finally, for you, we're finally, for you, i think we're stuck with this situation and these clowns for quite a long time . that's what they are. time. that's what they are. barnaby. thank you very much. deputy leader of reform philip kingsley, cultural historian roger , former adviser roger gewolb, former adviser to the england and gerry the bank of england and gerry hayes, thank you hayes, barrister. thank you so much your thoughts. much for your thoughts. well, this gb news on tv, online on this is gb news on tv, online on digital radio. we are live coming up. we'll continue with the great british debate this houn the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, it time for hour. i'm asking, is it time for a major political party in a new major political party in british politics? you'll hear the panel. but the thoughts of my panel. but first, latest first, let's get your latest news tatiana . nana. news with tatiana. nana. >> thank you. this is the latest from the gb newsroom. at least two protesters were carried away by police at waterloo station after more pro—palestine demonstrate actions people could be heard chanting a ceasefire now. and from the river to the sea in the middle of the station's concourse, people have also gathered outside downing street. police say around 250 demonstrators are outside the

5:42 pm
2019 he was there going, you know, jeremy corbyn would be a great prime minister and he wouldn't said wouldn't have any words, said against him. and it seemed like overnight a horlicks and overnight he had a horlicks and suddenly up and changed his suddenly woke up and changed his mind than well, i'm sorry, mind was than a well, i'm sorry, but the man doesn't know what he believes in and he's never even mentioned immigration. >> you can respond that >> and you can respond to that challenge because what happened you of that. you were a part of all of that. >> i was wasn't >> well, i was well, i wasn't i certainly wasn't part jeremy certainly wasn't part of jeremy corbyn. didn't for corbyn. and i didn't vote for jeremy corbyn leader of jeremy corbyn to be leader of the and neither did keir. the party, and neither did keir. but at the time, mean, at the but at the time, i mean, at the time, very difficult time, it's very difficult because in, it's because when you're in, it's like know, like a football team. you know, you, mean, it was pretty you, you, i mean, it was pretty clear jeremy corbyn wasn't clear that jeremy corbyn wasn't going to be prime minister. i mean, when going to be prime minister. i mean with when going to be prime minister. i mean with gloria when going to be prime minister. i mean with gloria de when going to be prime minister. i mean with gloria de piero when going to be prime minister. i mean with gloria de piero ofrhen going to be prime minister. i mean with gloria de piero of gb| i was with gloria de piero of gb news, then labour mp and news, who was then labour mp and we were knocking on doors saying, don't worry love to people, dock. people, you're on my dock. as they glorious old they say in glorious old constituency. jeremy's not going to be prime minister. but that was as far the was very difficult as far as the new is concerned. new new party is concerned. new parties. we have the new party in terms of we have reform. who are doing surprisingly well. and actually are on actually the greens, who are on 7 in the polls. and
5:43 pm
