9:36 am
minutes, ireland's deputy premier, michael martin, has condemned the rioting , saying condemned the rioting, saying this is not who we are as a people . he also said that his people. he also said that his thoughts are with the families in the first instance of the children and adults who were injured in that knife attack at a school. >> but it were scenes of violence last night. 13 shops damaged, significant only 11 police vehicles were set alight. three buses and a tram were also destroyed . that's the update destroyed. that's the update from the police there this morning. and 34 arrests have been made after those riots . been made after those riots. >> joining us now this morning is gb news reporter dougie beattie . good morning to you, beattie. good morning to you, dougie. i imagine there is an army of cleaners this morning. there . there. >> absolutely. just where i'm standing at the moment in o'connell street , the in this o'connell street, the in this little i suppose about 12yd2 here, there's about probably about £6 million worth of damage
9:37 am
done. about £6 million worth of damage done . three buses on this. lewis done. three buses on this. lewis tram that's behind me now. they're just going to try and pull it away. at least three characters destroyed and burnt out. but you have to look as well. some of the schoolchildren here have been escorted in by the garda siochana this morning, not for fear of rioters here, but because children were so scared of what happened yesterday when that knife attack took place . just up at the top took place. just up at the top end of this street in the gardener's row. and you know, that has really sparked the whole situation off that happened here when protesters tried to get in or get access to that area where that knife attacked happened. garda siochana were guarding that area. frustrations went up in the air. the situation tempers frayed. and, of course, all the bncks frayed. and, of course, all the bricks and stones started flying . and this is an area of dublin thatis . and this is an area of dublin that is the financial heart of it. it is o'connell street and many of the shops here, etcetera , being ready for christmas and to see that , particularly in
9:38 am
to see that, particularly in o'connell street, not in housing developments outside in finglas, ballymun, east wall, you know, to see it here in the middle of the city must be very frightening for politicians here in ireland. micheal martin says about how tolerant the state it is. he definitely is true on that. is. he definitely is true on that . but for those politicians that. but for those politicians to be looking on now and seeing this breaking out in their main financial district, they will be quite worried. has to be said that the garda she can have done a great job here last night. technically, they did a fantastic job. they closed off all the surrounding roads coming in here to stop anybody else entering the scene and then pushed into the side streets and made those arrest . but pushed into the side streets and made those arrest. but as pushed into the side streets and made those arrest . but as those made those arrest. but as those rioters were pushed out into wherever they were going and that's that is playbook stuff, actually back from the times of the british army and how they operate. the ruc took that over. and of course, drew harris is the chief constable of the garda siochana and he is formally a very senior officer in the ruc
9:39 am
on the psni. but this is by no means over. i don't believe inside dublin at this minute in time, even standing here, the amount of people coming past me from both sides of this argument that ireland needs to have a conversation with itself about where it's going, especially around immigration. it's happening too fast and really it's no different from the rest of the british isles. it seems to be a problem that's coming along. there's not enough housing. doctors community centres, etcetera, for everybody to get what they want. it's not. it is a brilliantly, wonderfully modern place. but the infrastructure is not there for all for the amount of immigration that's coming in all at once. >> well, dougie , if anything is >> well, dougie, if anything is clear from last night and the scenes at those riots, as you say, the stones flying, the police cars set alight, the looting of the shops, it does show, doesn't it, that those tensions are bubbling very much away under the surface . yes, all away under the surface. yes, all the time. and it brings an incident we saw yesterday
9:40 am
incident like we saw yesterday afternoon down in the city centre for that to come to the fore . i mean, you just you've fore. i mean, you just you've mentioned there the schoolchildren being scared to make their way into school this morning. residents morning. how are the residents of dublin feeling this morning? micheal martin is speaking this morning saying that it's not the city that they know and love and it's representative it's not representative of who they as people . exactly they are as people. exactly >> i mean, dublin people won't like me saying this, but it is the only true european city on the only true european city on the island of ireland. there are other cities, but they're in any other cities, but they're in any other terms . they're large other terms. they're large towns. dublin is a truly european city and it has a very mixed population in it. like any european city. but in this last couple of years, there has been a massive influx of young male immigrants into the cities, mostly coming from places like algeria , albania, and they're algeria, albania, and they're being pushed into to some of these lesser developments. and from that, you can see
9:41 am
frustration coming. but from everyday dubliners that are going about here, they are great people . they have a great sense people. they have a great sense of humour and they are just getting on with life. they're very disappointed to see this. i must say, quite a few people have said to me, it's heartbreaking to see this on their streets, but it will be addressed . addressed. >> dougie beattie in dublin for us this morning. thank you so much. and i can see the irish prime minister has been giving a press conference and he has said that these attacks , two terrible that these attacks, two terrible attacks have brought shame on ireland, not who we are and not who we will ever be. the first attack was on innocent children and the second an attack on the rule of law. >> while dougie beattie will be in dublin for us throughout the day. so we will get an update from him throughout the programme. >> the prime minister is facing demands from his own cabinet to cut visas for foreign and care workers after net migration hit a record high. >> well, the prime minister is considering the measure, part of
9:42 am
a five point plan being pushed by robert jenrick. the immigration minister, to meet the party's manifesto pledge to reduce numbers. >> former home secretary suella braverman is leading the tory revolt, though, calling the migration numbers a slap in the face to the british public who have voted to control and reduce migration at every opportunity. well joining us now is political correspondent katherine forster. >> very good to see you this morning, catherine. i mean, we hear rishi sunak talk a lot about stopping small boats , about stopping small boats, don't we? but this is about legal migration and these figures yesterday suggesting that that issue might be even worse . woi'se. >> worse. >> yes , the government, as you >> yes, the government, as you say, talk all the time about stopping the boats. they've not had much success so far. but they worry about the wrath of voters if they don't deliver on that promise. but really, these legal migration figures , three legal migration figures, three quarters of a million people more more in the uk in the 12
9:43 am
months ending last december and absolutely massive number and this is coming from a party that's been in power for 30 years, a party that spent many years, a party that spent many years saying they would get net migration down to the tens of thousands. a party that was then elected under boris johnson in 2019 when net migration was 230,000, pledging overall numbers. we will come down and here we are with basically the number of people equivalent to the size of a city about the size of leeds and really incredible. so real concern now within the cabinet and within the right of the tory party that they have to do something dramatic to try to get a grip on this before the next election. so robert jenrick the immigration minister. yes suggesting a five point plan includes cracking down on dependence , coming in with dependence, coming in with social care workers , potentially
9:44 am
social care workers, potentially a cap on the numbers coming in for health and social care . but for health and social care. but really the thing is that these these figures are as a direct result of choices that the government have made because pre brexit, we couldn't control the level of net migration because of free movement within the european union. now now we do have control , but it suits the, have control, but it suits the, the health care sector, the education department get the money from students coming in to the education sector. we've got a shortage in the nhs and social care. so it suits the health department to have these numbers. the treasury , like the numbers. the treasury, like the money that come from extra workers coming in. but you know, the home office who are supposedly responsible for, you know, overall numbers and security of borders and facing some really very difficult questions and i do wonder what voters will make of this at the
9:45 am
next election in. >> yeah, very difficult questions indeed. katherine forster for us in westminster , forster for us in westminster, thank you much. thank you very much. >> well , conservative mp thank you very much. >> well, conservative mp phil davis is with us in the studio to talk about all this. good morning to you, phil. it is a problem. it is something that all parties say is a problem . all parties say is a problem. these net migration figures . but these net migration figures. but the tories, they have had 13 years to sort this out . years to sort this out. >> well, i mean, the figures are completely unacceptable and unsustainable . and they've got unsustainable. and they've got to the figures have got to come down. it's there's no if in or botting about it. it's completely unacceptable. >> but your party hasn't been able to get these figures down. >> this this idea had >> this this idea we've had 13 years of course for years to sort out of course for the first ten or so years of that, we were in the eu and you can't do anything. as catherine made clear, you can't you couldn't anything couldn't do anything about migration when in migration levels when you're in the you could have put the eu and you could have put any restrictions you wanted on. but there was free but while there was free movement you couldn't movement of people, you couldn't you businesses, you couldn't say to businesses, you've your own you've got to train your own people they were people because they were perfectly bring people people because they were pe on :tly bring people people because they were
9:46 am
pe on free bring people people because they were peon free movement.g people people because they were peon free movement. so eople people because they were peon free movement. so we le in on free movement. so we haven't had 13 years to sort it out. but what the government has had time since left had is the time since we left the eu sort this out and not the eu to sort this out and not enough has been done. quite clearly. afraid clearly. now this is, i'm afraid to say it might it might pain some people hear but some people to hear this, but this is another landmine. the that current prime minister this is another landmine. the that left current prime minister this is another landmine. the that left behind prime minister this is another landmine. the that left behind froma minister this is another landmine. the that left behind from him, ister this is another landmine. the that left behind from him, from had left behind from him, from bofis i had left behind from him, from boris i mean, these boris johnson. i mean, these figures, figure of 742,000 figures, the figure of 742,000 was for the year ending june 2022, when boris johnson was prime minister the latest figures of 670,000 for the figures of 670,000 for the figures end in june 2023. so the prime minister's been in charge for sort of 6 or 7 months of that. he's he's inherited this problem like he's inherited the small boats problem , like he small boats problem, like he inherited sort of the economic problems that the country face. but got to sort it out. the but he's got to sort it out. the big issue, as has been alluded to, i think is about dependence. we've got to clamp down on the number of dependents coming in, whether from workers whether that's from workers coming country or coming into the country or students coming students in particular coming into country . we've got to into the country. we've got to ask, we really need the
9:47 am
ask, do we really need the number of foreign students coming into the uk? yes, of course. know , a number of course. you know, a number of foreign students very good foreign students are very good foreign students are very good for but really for the uk. but do we really need volumes? need the volumes? >> about the people working >> what about the people working in health social care? do we in health and social care? do we not need because the nhs not need them because the nhs suffers chronic staff suffers from such chronic staff shortages ? shortages? >> yeah, we need people in the short term. but of course the thing is that's fine. and i think if we said, look , we've think if we said, look, we've got short term issue that we got a short term issue that we need resolve, but in the need to resolve, but in the background what we're doing is we're steps to train we're taking the steps to train up more doctors, more nurses as up more doctors, more i'iui'ses as more up more doctors, more nurses as more people here then people i think would, as long as they could see a path to this end. but what we keep hearing is that people to work people here do not want to work in social care sector and in the social care sector and therefore you to look to therefore you have to look to therefore you have to look to the philippines. >> to look to india. >> you have to look to india. yes, and that always happen. >> but look, i don't think anybody's saying there should be no the country. no immigration into the country. i we're saying is, is i think what we're saying is, is the unsustainable. what the scale is unsustainable. what is an acceptable number then, would say? would you say? >> mean, cameron >> i mean, david cameron talking about in 2010. that about 100,000 back in 2010. that number never been been. number has never been been. >> yeah. but think we're at
9:48 am
>> yeah. but i think we're at seven that, almost eight seven times that, almost eight times think should be times now. i think we should be aiming the of thousands aiming for the tens of thousands that is what that should be that is what david was right to say. david cameron was right to say. we should aim for that. i mean, he couldn't. >> so than 100,000. >> so less than 100,000. >> so less than 100,000. >> that's what we should >> yeah, that's what we should be but that's be aiming for. but that's net that's migration, remember? be aiming for. but that's net that's yes,igration, remember? be aiming for. but that's net that's yes, we tion, remember? be aiming for. but that's net that's yes, we will remember? be aiming for. but that's net that's yes, we will alwaysiber? be aiming for. but that's net that's yes, we will always want and so, yes, we will always want some people coming into the country. want people with country. we want people with high paid high skills, highly paid jobs. i think there's number of steps think there's a number of steps the government take. think the government can take. i think we increase the amount we need to increase the amount that people have to earn before they're into the they're allowed to come into the uk. think to insist on uk. i think we need to insist on training up more people the training up more people in the uk to do jobs instead of just relying getting people in relying on getting people in from not from abroad. that's not sustainable. and think the sustainable. and i think the measures government measures that the government have this about have announced this week about actually people on actually forcing people on sickness benefits and things like some work is like that to do some work is actually really actually another really essential thing. can't essential thing. we can't literally millions of literally have millions of people languishing about people at home languishing about doing at the people at home languishing about doing time at the people at home languishing about doing time as at the people at home languishing about doing time as bringing at the people at home languishing about doing time as bringing people same time as bringing in people to that those people are to do jobs that those people are perfectly doing . so perfectly capable of doing. so we've to attack it on all we've got to attack it on all angles. the big issue is do attendance. the human rights act
9:49 am
gives people a right to a family life. i think at some point a government's going to have to get to grips with the human rights act. >> do people not have a right to a family life if they're coming from if overseas to work? do they not have a right to bring people with them? >> well, they at the moment. >> well, they do at the moment. but question is that but the question is, is that sustainable? will be sustainable? my argument will be that sustainable that is not sustainable and i think are going to have at think we are going to have at some government hope some point a government i hope this one is going to have to look at human rights act to look at the human rights act to say, this sustainable? all to say, is this sustainable? all to say, is this sustainable? all to say you can. a worker comes in and of their dependents. >> but this government going >> but this government is going to divided on that. i to be very divided on that. i mean, it very divided mean, it seems very divided already. as the new already. is it, as the new conservatives are saying, do or die this issue? yeah immigration is single biggest issue that is the single biggest issue that needs to be sorted out, legal and illegal. needs to be sorted out, legal ancand gal. needs to be sorted out, legal ancand the government have got >> and the government have got to it may get to to be bold. and it may get to the point with both legal and illegal immigration that there isn't majority parliament isn't a majority in parliament to of the take some of to do some of the take some of the steps i would like to the steps that i would like to see maybe that the prime see and maybe that the prime minister like to see there
9:50 am
minister would like to see there just a majority in just isn't a majority in parliament to see happen. parliament to see it happen. it may point where we may get to the point where we have to stand on election have to stand on an election promise to some radical promise to do some radical things force conservative things and force conservative candidates up to support candidates to sign up to support those they won't those things. and if they won't sign to support them, they sign up to support them, they wouldn't be to stand as wouldn't be able to stand as conservatives election. conservatives at the election. we get to that kind of we may well get to that kind of situation soon because can't situation soon because we can't just floundering with just keep floundering with immigration. we've to get to immigration. we've got to get to gnps immigration. we've got to get to grips it fast. the grips with it and fast. the pubuc grips with it and fast. the public won't accept anything less. >> what do you make of suella braverman's then saying braverman's rhetoric then saying that a slap in the face that this is a slap in the face to british public who to the british public who have voted control reduce voted to control and reduce migration every opportunity? migration in every opportunity? is someone like suella is it someone like suella braverman that you like to braverman that you would like to see making some of the changes that speak about? that you speak about? >> well, i agree with what suella says. my problem with suella says. my problem with suella as if suella is that it's not as if she's just innocent she's just an innocent bystander. i mean, she was the attorney in boris attorney general in boris johnson's government for the best two who's best part of two years. who's supposedly giving the government legal advice what to do to legal advice about what to do to control these things. was control these things. she was the secretary i mean, the the home secretary i mean, the question suella needs to be question that suella needs to be asking what was she
9:51 am
asking is, well, what was she doing johnson's doing in boris johnson's government attorney government when attorney general to make these changes happen ? to make these changes happen? because happen when because they didn't happen when they happened back then? >>i then? >> i wanted to ask you, whilst then? >> i vgoted to ask you, whilst then? >> i vgot you> ask you, whilst then? >> i vgot you about'ou, whilst then? >> i vgot you about jameinlst we've got you about james cleverly, you've being not particularly nice language, cleverly not being quite so cleverly not being quite so cleverly in the house. yeah, not being quite so cleverly. exactly. this week now it's thought that referred to thought that he referred to constituents as constituents a constituency as an. he is now saying that he referred to the mp of that constituency as an s person. is that the kind of language that you are used to in the house of commons? yes. >> look, i mean , no good. anyone >> look, i mean, no good. anyone justifying what he said? i don't think james would justify what he said. i'm sure he regrets what and you know, i'm what he said. and you know, i'm not going there and not going to stand there and justify and defend it because justify it and defend it because it's not justifiable. but but are right near where are the mikes right near where they sit? >> where you guys sit, would he not have known that mic could not have known that a mic could pick language up? pick his language up? >> there are mics . the funny >> there are mics. the funny thing is about the house of commons, if you go in when
9:52 am
parliament isn't sitting, all you can are loads of mikes you can see are loads of mikes all over the place. when you actually sat in there, you never nofice actually sat in there, you never notice that's thing. notice them. that's one thing. but are only switched but the mikes are only switched on are on for where people are speaking, so the speaking, you know? so the speakeh speaking, you know? so the speaker, the prime minister. but if you're on the front bench, the speaker's mikes always going to be on and the prime minister's is always going minister's mic is always going to if you're on the to be on. so if you're on the front bench, you're going to. >> so he must have known the mic could pick him up. >> look, thing is, in >> look, the thing is, in parliament, rightly wrongly, parliament, rightly or wrongly, and of theatre of and it's part of the theatre of prime minister's questions that people watch in america people love to watch in america and see the and love to come and see in the uk. we don't sit there in stony silence. everyone will be bored rigid. there is often rigid. if we did, there is often banter, interventions banter, sedentary interventions and goes time. and it goes on all the time. >> have you sworn philip in the house commons? >> have you sworn philip in the hotl'm commons? >> have you sworn philip in the hotl'm not)mmons? >> have you sworn philip in the hotl'm not armons? >> have you sworn philip in the hotl'm not a swearing. >> i'm not a swearing. >> i'm not a swearing. >> have you said the s word? the f word kind of person? >> but what i would say is every week prime minister's week in in prime minister's questions, will be questions, there will be sedentary interventions, earns banter sides usually banter for both sides usually to call person is that call an mp an s person is that it was it was is that banter. well it was banter. whether it's
9:53 am
appropriate inappropriate appropriate or inappropriate is appropriate or inappropriate is a it was it a different matter. it was it was banter. didn't genuinely was banter. he didn't genuinely mean was a throwaway mean it. it was a throwaway remark that you do hear genuinely see every week in prime minister's questions. but usually from the backbenchers where it's a lot harder for the mics to. >> but what's funny? well, >> but but what's funny? well, it's but but what is it's not funny but but what is strange about this is that it has come from one of james cleverly. it's come from his own side. ben. ben houchen well, he's the one who's who's made all the criticism about this. >> obviously, you know, it's perfectly understandable that ben, who's the mayor for that area, going defend his area, is going to defend his area. i think that's area. i don't think that's particularly strange. that's perfectly look, perfectly natural. but look, i don't think we should take it so serious . it's not really, you serious. it's not really, you know, a big issue facing the country. we've got so many problems facing country . problems facing the country. james cleverly is rather misguided attempt at banter. he's really i don't think, he's not really i don't think, something that should worry something that we should worry too much about as a country. we've got much bigger things to worry that. worry about than that. >> ray, good see you >> okay, ray, good to see you this morning. phil, thank you so much time. and it must

10:08 am
streets of dublin and try to terrify, intimidate and loot and destroy their first reaction to a five year old child being stabbed was to burn our city, attack its businesses and assault our gardai as a result of their actions , buses and of their actions, buses and trams were set on fire. >> four innocent passers by were intimidate covid and pregnant women in rotunda hospital were made to feel unsafe and in danger. made to feel unsafe and in danger . these people claim to be danger. these people claim to be defending irish citizens, yet they put in danger the newest and most vulnerable and most innocent people . those involved innocent people. those involved brought shame on dublin, brought shame on ireland and brought shame on ireland and brought shame on ireland and brought shame on their families and themselves . themselves. >> leo varadkar speaking a little earlier . well, joining us little earlier. well, joining us now is gb news reporter dougie beattie, who is in dublin for us. dougie, the worst violence police say that dublin has seen in decades. what can you tell us
10:09 am
about how quickly police respond ended because leo varadkar has suggested there will be some sort of review to look into the response . response. >> well, this this reminded me of scenes of belfast in the 19805. of scenes of belfast in the 1980s. and it must be said drew harris and the gardai jacana respond extremely quickly and got what was a very bad situation under control, extremely quickly. i mean, there is billions of pounds worth of damage done, but if the guards hadnt damage done, but if the guards hadn't have done it in the way that they did it, it might have been much, much worse. i mean, you can see them pulling out this tram from behind me now. it's burnt out in every window is out of it. but what they did was they off streets was they closed off the streets and stopped anybody, including the press, getting in. and then they contained it and then pushed them up the streets and into the side streets. and there they made their arrests . and it they made their arrests. and it was it was very, very was textbook. it was very, very well done by the garda siochana.
10:10 am
you cannot say that there was i mean, there could be problems in amongst that. we didn't see. but if you were to have to put down a training course and say you would look at that last night and say the garda siochana done and say the garda siochana done a pretty marvellous job of controlling situation and controlling the situation and pretty now it did go on pretty quickly now it did go on for three hours, but in those three hours, you know, you've got to say that there was a bricks, bottles, fireworks. they were burning buses and were burning out buses and trams. and of course smashing and looting shops. so to get that under control in that very short space of time, drew has done pretty well , as you say, as done pretty well, as you say, as though things are calmer this morning . morning. >> so do you think there's any risk of any more violence . risk of any more violence. >> well, i think if the politicians don't start listening and they all of course, will come off with what they're coming off with because they're coming off with because they have to. but this will definitely be any politician in ireland to see this on the streets of dublin. dublin's a
10:11 am
multicultural european city. it's a very modern city. and to see this type of stuff out of dubliners would be quite, quite worrying for any politician. and of course , there is a coalition of course, there is a coalition here between fine gael and fianna fail and the greens and it's it is shaky at the best of times. of course . miho martin, times. of course. miho martin, who's the tanaiste is a fianna fail member. leo varadkar who is the taoiseach , the prime the taoiseach, the prime minister. he is fine. gael and they are standing here probably this morning having a look at this, thinking, well we will need to do something because if we don't we will not be seen to be listening. and of course let's not forget what's at the heart of this. what really sort of sparked this off was the stabbing of three innocent children , under 30 year old children, under 30 year old woman and that has yet to work its way out. is it over ? i don't its way out. is it over? i don't know. would be the honest answer. >> gb news reporter dougie beattie in dublin for us this
10:12 am
morning. thank you. >> and we're joined in the studio by former dup leader and fellow gb news presenter arlene foster. really good to see you this morning, arlene, and really quite shocking scenes in dublin last night as dougie was just saying, we saw looting , police saying, we saw looting, police vehicles burnt. we saw a tram there that had been burnt out as well. leo varadkar speaking this morning, describing the people who partook in that violence last night, saying they're not patriots , they're anarchists patriots, they're anarchists where in their hearts . what where hate in their hearts. what do you make of that? yes, i mean, i thought leo was very, very strong and wanted to send out a very strong message this morning when he was addressing the media. >> when i listened to the tanisha micheal martin, i thought he was not as forthright and he was talking about this isn't who we are. take a step back from this. ireland is a welcoming country. but leo has gone out very, very hard and i think he's trying to say, look, we're not going to have this this is not going to happen in
10:13 am
ireland. and he's been very strong in his support for drew harris , who's the garda harris, who's the garda commissioner. of course , drew commissioner. of course, drew harris was the deputy chief constable in northern ireland, would have had a lot of experience dealing with experience in dealing with rioting. unfortunately in belfast in the 80s and 90s. so drew has a lot of experience in how to deal with these sorts of things. so he's giving his full support to them. but look, there are difficulties. there are problems in dublin and i remember very well dougie beattie gb news reporter report getting on some of the difficulties in what's called the east wall area of north dubun the east wall area of north dublin back about a year ago when there were protests . s when there were protests. s about asylum seekers . asylum about asylum seekers. asylum seekers were in a building in their area. they weren't happy about it. they met the government ministers, they were expressing concerns. so this has been going on for quite a while. it's bubbling under the it's been bubbling under the surface and i think what you seen yesterday with the dreadful attack children the attack on those children and the woman was a it was woman was there was a it was almost like lit a almost like they lit a
10:14 am
touchpaper and away it went. and it is very distressing for people in ireland to wake up to seeing the destruction that happenedin seeing the destruction that happened in the city last night and people in dublin today will be very nervous and especially the immigrant community will be very scared indeed, i would have thought, which is very large in dublin, actually, you know, when immigrants come to ireland, they tend to settle in the urban areas dublin would have areas and dublin would have a lot of immigrants in that area. and noticed when leo and i noticed that when leo varadkar asked the question varadkar was asked the question by further violence by media about further violence and the risk of further violence, he said, look, i know that protests are being planned onune that protests are being planned online going to have online and we're going to have to look at that and to support the police in dealing with any unrest that happens. and don't forget dublin is a huge tourism mecca . a lot of people come to mecca. a lot of people come to dubun mecca. a lot of people come to dublin from all world. dublin from all over the world. so this damaging
10:15 am
so this is damaging. wales, scotland, england, all those people, including that little girl, five year old girl who is in a serious condition in hospital after that knife attack. >> so our thoughts with them, of course . coui'se. >> course. >> yes. arlene, do stay with us. thank you very much. now, a and dissipated four day pause in fighting between israel and hamas. is now underway. >> hamas will release 50 hostages over the next four days and israel will free 150 palestinian prisoners in about four hours time. >> 13 people are expected to be set free by hamas in the first round of hostage exchanges. their families have been informed no information has been released about the remaining hostages, including this little irish israeli girl, emily hand. >> she turned nine last week while being held captive by hamas. well we're joined in the studio now by our home and security editor mark white.
10:16 am
>> good morning to you, mark. and that clock is now ticking down, isn't it, to when those first hostages, we hope, will be released by hamas ? released by hamas? >> yeah, i mean, so far, so good in terms of the truce. it seems to be holding after a bit of a shaky start. there were were some exchanges of fire in the minutes after this truce started . and at 7 am. local time in israel, which , of course, is . israel, which, of course, is. 5 am. our time here in the uk. israel, which, of course, is. 5 am. our time here in the uk . so a.m. our time here in the uk. so there's obviously a concern going forward that this truce might not hold and that something could happen on either side that brings about an end to the truce. but while it's hoping, while it's continuing to hold, then the hope is that these initial 13 hostages will be handed over to the international red cross down on the rafah crossing. and then they'll be taken over to egypt. this is the way in which the
10:17 am
other hostages were released. we remember it's now a month actually since the last two hostages to israelis, yakov lifshitz and nurit cooper were released . and of course, before released. and of course, before that, two other hostages, an american mother and her daughter, were released. so only four hostages since . the 7th of four hostages since. the 7th of october have been released. one israeli soldier was freed by her colleagues , as in a rescue colleagues, as in a rescue operation. but that's it . and operation. but that's it. and there's believed to be at least 240 hostages still in captivity. so the hope is as we go on and go forward, that over the next few days, if that truce holds , few days, if that truce holds, then we could get up to 50 hostages released and at the same time, about 150 palestinians who are being held in prisons on the in the west bank will be released as well.
10:18 am
>> and in terms of the identity of the hostages released today, we understand the families now know, we understand it is mothers and children. i remember being haunted. i don't know whether we have the pictures haunted by the images. i think of the mother with the two little boys. i think the little boy was maybe only a few months old. he wasn't even walking. she could children be on could and her children be on that list today ? that list today? >> she could be. but, you know, there quite lot of women there are quite a lot of women and children amongst the hostages that have been taken. so you know, in the initial 13, we don't know if those were that family that you talk about will be in there. but of course, it's a concern . as you say, the a concern. as you say, the families of those who are planned to be handed over today have been informed. so those who have been informed. so those who have not been informed clearly understand that their loved ones are not being released today. >> and what do we know about what the palestinian prisoners,
10:19 am
the children that are being freed on the other side? i mean, what would children be in prison for? >> well, it's not just children, men. it's women as well. so 24 women and 15 children. we see children . there are teenagers children. there are teenagers and range from ages of 14 to 18 that are being held . israel has that are being held. israel has detained them on terror charges , detained them on terror charges, is accused of being involved in some of the fighting in either gaza or west bank in in recent years. it's a sad reality of the conflict over there that , you conflict over there that, you know, young teenagers do get involved in those conflicts as well. so the plan is, as i say, for about 150 of those palestinian prisoners to be released, initial only in conjunction with the 50 hostages that hopefully will be handed oveh that hopefully will be handed over. then what we go into, if it holds this truce, we have to keep saying this because it is very delicate , be balanced at very delicate, be balanced at the moment .
10:20 am
very delicate, be balanced at the moment. if it very delicate, be balanced at the moment . if it holds, then the moment. if it holds, then once that initial 50 hostages are released , the hope is that are released, the hope is that every day after that, a further ten hostages will be released out and for every ten hostages released, that is another day off. a cessation of hostilities . off. a cessation of hostilities. so that could go on. if you're talking about another 200 still in captivity there, it could go on for 20 odd days or so , which on for 20 odd days or so, which would be welcome because what's happening in terms of the situation on the ground is while there is this cessation of hostilities, it's allowing the aid trucks. and we are expecting about 200 aid trucks in every day, which is desperately needed. of course , by the needed. of course, by the population of gaza . and they population of gaza. and they include for the first time fuel trucks that are going in there , trucks that are going in there, fuel and gas , diesel and gas fuel and gas, diesel and gas trucks that are going in to help the aid agencies that will be distributed out to the hospitals as well .
10:21 am
as well. >> okay, mark white, thank you so much for that update. and eileen, you're still here with us. we got that sense from mark, didn't we, about just how delicate this situation is that there is hope that this ceasefire will hold. and of course, for the families involved in this, it's that agonising wait, isn't it, hoping that the ceasefire holds, they can with their can be reunited with their families? when families? well you know, when pip talking about that image pip was talking about that image that she had in her head, you know, i was talking know, the one i was talking about, you imagine? about, can you imagine? >> thinking, is it going to >> i'm thinking, is it going to be child? is it going to be be my child? is it going to be my and don't get my wife? and then you don't get the mark says, all the the call. as mark says, all the families been contacted and families have been contacted and then again , then you're devastated again, your not coming out your loved ones not coming out today. horrific situation today. it's a horrific situation in and frankly, sometimes i think our media don't concentrate on the fact that these children on these are little children on their own . their own. >> well, there's one little girl. there's one little girl who's parents were massacred in the kibbutz by hamas, and she's coming she's got two coming i think she's got two sisters still what mental sisters still alive. what mental state? they will so much. state? they will need so much. >> horrendous help, won't >> it's horrendous help, won't they, when they when they're free. and i am so pleased that
10:22 am
we are seeing progress the we are seeing progress on the hostages long time, we hostages for a long time, we weren't even speaking about them. so so important them. there so it's so important that get out . that those children get out. absolutely. some of them coming out to horrendous circumstances . out to horrendous circumstances. their parents are gone, their siblings are gone and they're coming out to know a changed life . life. >> it's a really i can't even imagine, can you? but as we were saying, about 3.5 hours now until we hope going well, until we hope all going well, those first hostages are released out by hamas, the first in several weeks. first and months, didn't you say, mark? yes yeah, the first since the 23rd of october. yes. so it will be significant, especially for those families who've been just the most agonising wait. so of course, we'll bring that to you on newsroom. on britain's newsroom. >> still to come, black friday is upon us. is it a time to bag some bargains? are you going to be out and about or buying onune? be out and about or buying online? or is it all a big con? how do you avoid the scammers? >> yeah, we're be >> as yeah, we're going to be talking about that and much more. is britain's newsroom more. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. >> good morning. alex deakin

that i knew had dewbs & co that i knew had dewbs& co weeknights from . six weeknights from. six >> welcome back to britain's newsroom on gb news with pip tomson and ellie costello . now, tomson and ellie costello. now, in the last few moments, the prime minister has been speaking. he's at nissan's sunderland plant today, but he's been talking about the israel gaza conflict and this expected hostage release in the next few hours. here's what he had to say. it's obviously the first
10:41 am
step. >> we need to make sure everyone an abides by the terms of the agreement. and want to see an abides by the terms of the agrhostagesknd want to see an abides by the terms of the agrhostages released,1nt to see an abides by the terms of the agrhostages released, including all hostages released, including protecting the safety of british nationals that are involved. i'm grateful to qatar for the role that they've played. we continuing to with all our continuing to work with all our partners region, partners in the region, whether that's israel and that's america or israel and eqypt that's america or israel and egypt and others, to make sure that this sticks. and we that this deal sticks. and we can continue to do what we want to support everyone in gaza, get more aid in and to ensure the safety and release of all hostages well. hostages as well. >> very pleased to say that >> i'm very pleased to say that we're joined by political commentator matthew stadlen and broadcaster mike to react broadcaster mike parry to react to this. so, matthew, let's start with you, shall we? heanng start with you, shall we? hearing there from rishi sunak in sunderland saying he really hopes this ceasefire sticks as well? >> yeah, and that seems to be a sort of progression from where we were because there was all this debate, wasn't there, about ceasefires and humanitarian pauses. my understanding this is just four day pause in just a four day pause in hostilities and israel has been absolutely clear that it's going to continue bombing gaza and
10:42 am
fighting hamas afterwards. to continue bombing gaza and fighting hamas afterwards . and fighting hamas afterwards. and it's a very interesting state of affairs because on the one hand, the negotiator saying hostage release, but then negotiating with with a terrorist organisation, that they say that they're still going after they're still going to go after once those hostages have been released. so it's very surreal. i think it's sort of unprecedented. and i guess sunak is just trying to juggle a lot of balls, say that he wants the hostages but also he's hostages released, but also he's concerned about the humanitarian situation in in gaza. >> mike, there is a suggestion that , as matthew said, >> mike, there is a suggestion that, as matthew said, this this is a pause . this isn't the end is a pause. this isn't the end of it. and the military are going to keep going hard and fast gaza. further south. fast into gaza. further south. yes. which is where thousands of people are still trying to shelter. i totally agree. >> i think when our prime minister talks about the ceasefire sticking, he means over days, he doesn't over the four days, he doesn't mean perpetuity because mean in perpetuity because we know going to be a know there's not going to be a ceasefire israel would know there's not going to be a ceasefiany israel would know there's not going to be a ceasefiany sort israel would know there's not going to be a ceasefiany sort of israel would know there's not going to be a ceasefiany sort of extension ld know there's not going to be a ceasefiany sort of extension of regard any sort of extension of the ceasefire as them having given up. they want to destroy hamas . they seem to be doing hamas. they seem to be doing quite good job we believe
10:43 am
quite a good job if we believe the broadcast they've been giving us about rubbing out , you giving us about rubbing out, you know, of the top hamas know, a lot of the top hamas people pushing in on a ground offensive, hasn't caused people pushing in on a ground offe sorta, hasn't caused people pushing in on a ground offe sort of hasn't caused people pushing in on a ground offe sort of mass hasn't caused people pushing in on a ground offe sort of mass hasn't cethatl people pushing in on a ground offe sort of mass hasn't cethat we the sort of mass carnage that we thought it might. and i think they're doing a very good job. but at the end of the day, we haven't seen any hostages yet. okay. what sort of condition will hostages be in when will these hostages be in when they come out and what sort of stories will they tell us? and let's not forget, even if the number have been allocated number who have been allocated freedom today, there's freedom come out today, there's another 190 somewhere else, probably in those tunnels. >> it hasn't caused a mass carnage in gaza. well, you expected the sort of mass casualties i've seen. it's carnage . carnage. >> well, what i'm saying >> yeah, well, what i'm saying is sort of carnage we might is the sort of carnage we might have was an all out have expected was an all out israeli assault on the northern part of gaza before they'd advised citizens to move to the south, before they drop leaflets, before they'd sent messages to people saying, your building is going to be bombed. i the israelis have shown i think the israelis have shown a lot they're not safe a lot more. they're not safe anywhere than hamas. anywhere in this war than hamas. so i just want to come in on
10:44 am
that. >> i think you're right about the ceasefire. i think he is just talking about that sort of temporary far temporary ceasefire. but as far as what's going on in gaza is concerned, i yeah, israel concerned, i mean, yeah, israel has try to huge has made efforts to try to huge efforts, made efforts to try efforts, has made efforts to try to protect civilian lives, but that hasn't stopped it. if the figures are to be believed, killing 13,000 plus human beings , some of whom, of course, will be terrorists, many of israel needs to go after these terrorists. but we're also told that 5000 of them are children. so all well saying so it's all very well saying that they've given an or that they've given an hour or two for to vacate a high two for people to vacate a high rise building, get all of the stuff that have built up stuff that they have built up over lifetime get out over their lifetime and get out of there. otherwise they'll be bombed bits . but i can tell bombed to bits. but i can tell you, if you're ground in you, if you're on the ground in gaza, an gaza, including journalists, an extraordinary number of journalists who've been killed, it's a terrible, terrible, terrible alternate. >> is israel's >> matt, what is israel's alternate lviv? israel's alternative is not to go into gaza and try and root out hamas, in which case there wouldn't be any casualties. but if they build hamas spaces underneath
10:45 am
hospitals , which we know they hospitals, which we know they do, there are going to be casualties any war. so you casualties in any war. so you are there are civilian casualties. ask, what's casualties. so you ask, what's the alternative? casualties. so you ask, what's the alterna put? casualties. so you ask, what's the alternaput? back. casualties. so you ask, what's the alterna put? back. this way >> let me put it back. this way to you. how many children should die as israel tries to root out hamas ? would you say 10,000 or hamas? would you say 10,000 or 100,000? should everyone in gaza die? we're talking about a sliding scale here. i'm not saying israel shouldn't have done what happened on done anything. what happened on october i said from the october 7? as i said from the beginning , october 7? as i said from the beginning, repeatedly here on gb news was was an act of medieval savagery, which i'm savagery, the like of which i'm not sure i've been told about in my lifetime. the news my lifetime. reading the news that doesn't mean say that that doesn't mean to say that thousands upon thousands of children should or have to die . children should or have to die. innocent children have to die in order to combat it. israel has been very effective in the past as assassinating members of hamas. what they are doing now is wide scale destruction. and my view , it's unjustifiable. my view, it's unjustifiable. >> do do you there are claims. what do you think that israel is committing genocide now? >> i'm not going to use words like that. i don't think it's
10:46 am
helpful. but what it is doing is forcing 1.7 million people to be displaced , at least temporarily. displaced, at least temporarily. >> i the problem is, mike, >> i think the problem is, mike, is these people that are is that these people that are displaced, that can't displaced, that they can't actually of the area. actually get out of the area. it's unique this it's so unique this this conflict that cannot get out into egypt. conflict that cannot get out intcthey)t. conflict that cannot get out intcthey can't because the people >> they can't because the people who run governments in the middle east do not want the people gaza. egypt won't middle east do not want the peop|open gaza. egypt won't middle east do not want the peop|open theirza. egypt won't middle east do not want the peop|open their borderst won't middle east do not want the peop|open their borders to on't middle east do not want the peop|open their borders to allow even open their borders to allow people to go into sinai. this is because fear that they because of the fear that they will bring this problem from gaza the other countries. gaza into the other countries. >> hamas terrorists could get into. of course , of course, of into. of course, of course, of the numbers, the 13,000 not quite rightly points out, i've heard that up to 40% of those people could be terrorists because there are a lot of terrorists there. >> and when you say, look, i want no children killed, but the problem with is they problem with hamas is they encourage civilians to live around bases where they have around the bases where they have their and i just say, their arms. and can i just say, please, the reason that they have to do it was because you must have heard other hamas terrorists say . october the 7th terrorists say. october the 7th was only the start. we will do
10:47 am
it again and again and again. >> i mean, mike, that doesn't mean that israel should it doesn't mean that israel should have carte blanche to cause the sort of destruction and loss of human life that is going the human life that is going at the moment. listen to some of moment. let's listen to some of the words also that have come out of israeli out of the mouths of israeli politicians israeli politicians and the israeli minister israeli minister and the israeli military. i read a just a military. i read a piece just a couple of ago by by the couple of days ago by by the intelligence minister as i understand it, from israel, who is now talking about the voluntary knee replacement or displacement of gazans around the world, saying effectively that if we all care about the gazans as we claim we do around the west, we should start to rehome them. we should take them as refugees. that is, it will be seen as a very, very sinister suggestion by people right around the world. let us not in broad daylight watch israel clean a whole population or sizeable chunks of a population out of a tiny strip of land. because if you think that's
10:48 am
going to bring israel peace in the long run, i beg to differ. >> we want in gaza is for palestinian people to be able to rule themselves. but remember, they hamas as they voted hamas in as their government. the problem's government. and the problem's been going ever since. been going on ever since. >> happened after they >> what happened after they voted hamas in hamas executed those political opponents who had opposed them in the elections. no one has any truck with hamas who has any decency. they are death cult. listen, they are a death cult. listen, they are a death cult. the question is, what should a responsible developed democracy do in response? and i think a palestinian i think it is overreach saying, well, i think it should go to a public authority. >> i mean, look how much are so untrustworthy when you send them aid, including pipes to build water channels. they use the pipes rockets. these pipes to launch rockets. these are people they are. are the sort of people they are. you cannot trust them. therefore, got be therefore, they've got to be removed. >> is a very, very >> but it is a very, very delicate mean, delicate situation. i mean, we've we, about we've spoken, haven't we, about the crisis in gaza, the humanitarian crisis in gaza, but importance of but also the importance of rooting out hamas and the as you said, mike, we haven't seen any hostages being released so far
10:49 am
today, but are talking today, but we are talking about 190 that , of 190 hostages. is that, of course, the priority for israel is going be getting those out is going to be getting those out safely. what that is safely. and that is what that is what lord cameron has been talking about . talking about. >> say one quick thing >> i'll just say one quick thing on beg people who on this. what i beg people who are watching this to do is to try to see it on the merits, not to pick a side, not to say i'm israel , to pick a side, not to say i'm israel, right or wrong, certainly not to support hamas, but try to navigate through as best we can understanding the history , understanding what is history, understanding what is going now so that we don't going on now so that we don't just point fingers. going on now so that we don't just point fingers . and it is just point fingers. and it is such a complicated well, it comes down to it's about basic humanity here, isn't it? >> seeing that suffering on both sides of this, not saying that an israeli civilian life is more important or a palestinian civilian life is important. everybody's lives are important. >> and you've got to try and save those lives. and the only way israel can try and save the lives of their own people is to go and eradicate those who want to them off face of the to wipe them off the face of the earth. know, remember river earth. you know, remember river to sea means want to wipe
10:50 am
to the sea means we want to wipe out you can't wipe out out israel. you can't wipe out an ideology make. an ideology you make. >> problem. you >> that's the problem. you cannot wipe out an ideology. you know what wants? hamas know what hamas wants? hamas wants the body bags wants hamas wants the body bags because each body bag is a recruiting sergeant for a future generation of terrorists. so you've got to you have to be strategic, nick. but if you get rid of the current batch of hamas, you don't think more will spnng hamas, you don't think more will spring a hydra esque way? spring up in a hydra esque way? of course they will, sadly. >> of them are >> and so many of them are outside of gaza well. they're outside of gaza as well. they're elsewhere middle east. outside of gaza as well. they're els> exactly. >> qatar are taking a sort of major role in negotiations. and yet some the most senior yet some of the most senior people hamas qatar. people in hamas live in qatar. yes, a very complicated. yes, it is a very complicated. >> you watch international diplomacy that clip. diplomacy and we saw that clip. this has sparked this this is what has sparked this conversation, of course, of rishi prime minister. rishi sunak, our prime minister. what is he doing? thanking qatar? remember is qatar? let's remember qatar is not . it's not a democracy. it's a dictatorship. of course it is . dictatorship. of course it is. >> let's head over to the netherlands, shall we? mike, you've got this story just to dial things down. >> yeah, exactly. i thought we were going to go have a complete
10:51 am
gear change, but hey ho. well, this is wilders. >> us about him. i think >> tell us about him. i think it's a think it's a great it's a i think it's a great political story. >> how do you say his name? is it wilders? oh, i've heard. it it wilders? oh, i've heard. i've heard so many different pronunciations this i say geert wilders like pronunciations this i say geert wildevan like pronunciations this i say geert wildevan heil like pronunciations this i say geert wildevan heil and like pronunciations this i say geert wildevan heil and louis like pronunciations this i say geert wildevan heil and louis vane louis van heil and louis van halle was the manchester united manager, a dutchman. >> you and the best of >> you know, and the best of harry enfield, mixed i think harry enfield, mixed in, i think is bit of that. yeah it looked is a bit of that. yeah it looked like james film. is a bit of that. yeah it looked likeyeah.nes film. is a bit of that. yeah it looked likeyeah. so. film. >> yeah. so. >> yeah. so. >> so here's geert wilders. now, the reason this such an the reason this is such an interesting because interesting story is because this right wing movement in this is a right wing movement in holland, which has sprung up from because holland, from nowhere because holland, where laid back , where everybody's so laid back, has suddenly decided that they don't like some of the policies being imposed upon them. like, for instance, the present government before mr geert wilders, one was trying to basically rip out agriculture, wasn't he? closing down farms and say we don't need cows anymore and all this kind of stuff. what's really stuff. okay, but what's really interesting result interesting is that this result has come days after the has come three days after the argentinian result which argentinian result in which another very right wing politician. so right wing that he wants to scrap the
10:52 am
argentinian peso and start using the american dollar. that's argentinian peso and start using the american dollar . that's how the american dollar. that's how right wing is. and i just wonder whether this is the start of a domino effect around the world where all of a sudden, you know, communities and countries are pushing back against the imposition of left wing ideology, ideology and wokeism. >> there was an interesting quote i saw in one of the articles about this victory from articles about this victory from a muslim dutch voter who said, if he wasn't so anti muslims , i if he wasn't so anti muslims, i might have voted for him. in other words, his appeal is not just islamophobic , but let's be. just islamophobic, but let's be. >> doesn't he want to burn down all the mosques? >> be absolutely real >> let's be absolutely real about this. he has advocated in the past banning the quran, banning the religious book of muslims. he has advocated covid, banning mosques . right. closing banning mosques. right. closing down mosques. this is extreme, far right politics. we should call it out for what it is. >> i agree with you. there's a lot of danger in this. and that's why i think it's such an important story. is it going to
10:53 am

population of the uk increased by almost three quarters of a million last year. >> now former home secretary suella braverman said the figures were a slap in the face to the british public. >> while we're joined in the studio now by gb news political editor christopher hope and journalist butterworth. journalist benjamin butterworth. very good to see you both this morning. and chris hope, let's start with you, shall we? because this could be a tory war over this issue. yeah, it's brewing . brewing. >> i mean, they're really cross about it behind the scenes. tory mps this weekend there's a group called common sense, a group of tory mps. they're preparing a letter to go to the prime minister support an minister to try and support an idea robert jenrick, who's minister to try and support an idei immigrationt jenrick, who's minister to try and support an ideilmmigration minister. who's minister to try and support an ideilmmigration minister. he's. the immigration minister. he's got try bring got measures to try and bring this number down. he wants to have numbers of 745,000 last calendar year even worse, calendar year. it's even worse, though, at the figures though, looking at the figures for year two 20th, for the year to two june 20th, 22, 2023, when it when it went up to 767, 2000 from 607,000. those numbers were revised upwards in the last calendar year and that could happen
11:10 am
again. so it's a feeling of lack of control. i mean, small boats is one is a symptom, i think, of a problem with the immigration policy. control policy. they can't control the numbers viewers numbers coming in. the viewers are right. but there are short there short shortages there are short shortages in parts of our social care nhs. but equally, there's lots of people on benefits who aren't working. why don't you put more effort to get them back to work? there's a housing housing shortage. know rents are shortage. we know rents are going sky for many people. going sky high for many people. can afford to have can we afford to have 1.2 million arriving in the million people arriving in the two years last year? two years to june last year? that's a problem. robert jenrick is minister. he's is immigration minister. he's got try and ban foreign got plans to try and ban foreign and care workers bringing and social care workers bringing independence to increase the amount of money to come here to 35,000 from around 26,000 as it stands at the moment, that might cut numbers by 50,000, but really, these are just scratches on on where they need to get to. this government elected in 2010 to bring numbers down to tens of thousands a year. you know, people voted in 2016 for control of the borders, but politicians, the politicians have the tory politicians have ignored completely. ignored that completely.
11:11 am
>> labour agree, don't they, >> and labour agree, don't they, that that net migration has to be brought down. >> there is broad agreement on that. but what do you bring it down to? what is a fair number? >> well, the ons looks at these numbers. what the obr should say, the official budgetary experts, they say we need around a quarter of a million each year to sustain growth growth. now, tories would say , well, why not tories would say, well, why not just use people rather than paying just use people rather than paying people to be at on paying people to be at home on benefits, get of them back benefits, get some of them back to an that to work? that's an idea that came out the autumn came out in the autumn statement. mel stride wants to say from home if say you can work from home if you be at home and work from you can be at home and work from home, why don't do some limited work from home or you lose some of your perks being on of your perks of being on benefits free bus benefits such as free bus passes? is against that. passes? labour is against that. i sunderland we i mean, up in sunderland we haven't clip quite yet, haven't got the clip quite yet, but ella toone out the but really ella toone out the prime saying he's very prime minister saying he's very clear, too high. clear, levels are too high. they've got to come to they've got to come down to a more sustainable level. he's been about that. yeah, but been clear about that. yeah, but your on with your prime minister get on with it what many viewers tory it is what many viewers and tory supporters say. supporters might say. >> butterworth. >> benjamin butterworth. let's let's you in. do you
11:12 am
let's just bring you in. do you think election could be think this election could be decided on immigration is it decided on immigration or is it more be economy? more likely to be the economy? >> it's always been a >> i think it's always been a big issue . if you at the big issue. if you look at the polling, that things polling, it says that things like health and the like the health service and the economy, in even worse economy, which are in even worse state than some would say migration are it. but migration is, are above it. but i the truth is that i think the truth is that there's a real level of dishonesty in what the government is saying here, because look at what because if you look at what business saying business groups have been saying quite that quite consistently, it's that there economy there are areas of the economy where a shortage of where we have a shortage of workers making it hard for them to so things to function. so that's things like drivers, care, like lorry drivers, health care, social and they were social care. and they were calling consistently to calling quite consistently to have more people come into the country to country for those industries to function. i would suggest function. now i would suggest that the fact that the numbers are as they is no are as high as they are is no coincidence. the government, on an probably an economic level was probably acknowledging knows acknowledging that, but it knows that the public perception and the that it needs to the rhetoric that it needs to have election is have going into an election is quite opposite . and i think quite the opposite. and i think what you're seeing when what you're seeing here, when they too high, we they say it's far too high, we must new ideas to must come up with new ideas to cut despite the fact that cut it, despite the fact that they let this happen. several years a row. now, think
11:13 am
years in a row. now, i think that shows problem they have. >> and chris, really interesting, isn't at suella interesting, isn't it, at suella braverman's role in all of this , braverman's role in all of this, tweeting from the backbenches now saying is a slap now saying that this is a slap in the to british in the to face the british pubuc in the to face the british public who voted to control public who have voted to control and migration at every and reduce migration at every opportunity. she says it's unsustainable. she's going to be a thorn in the side of rishi sunak now isn't saying this, of course she was home secretary dunng course she was home secretary during period. course she was home secretary durawful period. course she was home secretary durawful lotariod. course she was home secretary durawful lot ofyd. course she was home secretary durawful lot of large parts of >> awful lot of large parts of this period. so she's got a lot of questions to answer. she would where's she here, would say, where's she here, that these that she's tried to make these points? 10, number 10, points? number 10, number 10, we're ignoring i to go we're ignoring it. i mean, to go to benjamin's there, he to benjamin's point there, he makes point about makes a good point about the shortage drivers. but shortage in lorry drivers. but should people allowed to should people be allowed to bnng should people be allowed to bring dependants and family bring in dependants and family members? what the members? that's what pushes the number think what will number up. and i think what will happen they grip on happen if they get a grip on this is saying you can't bring family members to work here, family members on to work here, at years. at least not for a few years. >> and benjamin, the argument we keep hearing about when it comes to the social care is to the social care sector is that need migration. we need that we need migration. we need those work the those people to work in the social because here social care sector, because here people want to work in it. people don't want to work in it. >> i mean, of those
11:14 am
>> yeah, i mean, many of those jobs are incredibly long hours and well and and not terribly well paid. and so, i think there's so, you know, i think there's a strong argument to say that if you the pay and you change the pay and conditions, you might be conditions, then you might be able to get more british born workers wanting those workers wanting to do those jobs. this suggestion jobs. but this suggestion that immigration ministers put forward you have earn at forward that you have to earn at least 35 k to be to come least 35 k to be able to come in, well, that would a in, well, that would rule out a lot coming to this lot of people coming to this country to work in that sector. and that seems quite an and so that seems quite an impractical answer while impractical answer because while on the one hand might on the one hand people might think, that there's think, oh, i'm glad that there's a migrants a few thousand fewer migrants this when they this year, i think when they can't the health care that can't get the health care that they need, might turn to they need, that might turn to a frustration the government frustration and the government doesn't to be able to doesn't seem to be able to square circle. square the circle. >> okay, christopher, know >> okay, christopher, we know that been that rishi sunak has been speaking last few months speaking in the last few months up in sunderland there's up in sunderland where there's a big announced in big investment announced in electric but he's been electric cars, but he's been talking immigration. talking about immigration. >> what have to >> let's see what we have to say. it's good to see the say. it's good to see that the ons yesterday that the ons yesterday did say that the levels migration are now levels of migration are now slowing in their which is slowing in their words, which is a welcome step. >> we've more to go. and >> but we've got more to go. and that's why i announced a policy earlier the earlier to clamp down on the number dependents that
11:15 am
number of dependents that students bring they're students can bring when they're coming where we've seen a coming here, where we've seen a very in that very significant rise in that that took that action that i took represents the single toughest measure has taken to measure that anyone has taken to bnng measure that anyone has taken to bring levels illegal bring down the levels of illegal migration in a very long time. so that should give people a sense commitment to sense of my commitment to bringing migration down. and if we further of the we see further abuse of the system, course we're prepared system, of course we're prepared to act and do more. >> so rishi sunak saying >> so the pm rishi sunak saying they prepared to do more they have prepared to do more mentioned. they're stopping students independence. mentioned. they're stopping students expect independence. mentioned. they're stopping students expect that's endence. mentioned. they're stopping students expect that's anience. we might expect that's an obvious but measures obvious one, but more measures are nothing are required and so far nothing from government. from the government. >> where do we go from >> i mean, where do we go from here? we know that robert jenrick drawn up this set of jenrick has drawn up this set of proposals. he's obviously not yet going proposals. he's obviously not ye be going proposals. he's obviously not ye be discussed going proposals. he's obviously not ye be discussed internally.ing to be discussed internally. there's be much wider there's going to be a much wider conversation about this now, i'm sure. >> that's right. we're trying to get jenrick has to get to see what jenrick has to say about that today. and we'll bnng say about that today. and we'll bring to gb news viewers bring you up to gb news viewers when it. says they when we get it. he says they want schemes allow want to scrap schemes to allow firms can pay 20% firms that they can pay 20% under market where a skill under market rate, where a skill shortages find brits to under market rate, where a skill sh(those; find brits to under market rate, where a skill sh(those jobs. find brits to under market rate, where a skill sh(those jobs. old brits to under market rate, where a skill sh(those jobs. old enough to do those jobs. i'm old enough to remember, benjamin might be remember, as benjamin might be gordon brown saying, british jobs workers in jobs for british workers back in the noughties. remember that,
11:16 am
benjamin? i mean, it's been a long running issue where employers have been allowed to bnng employers have been allowed to bring and bring in foreign labour and ignore on the ignore all the labour on the doorstep it might be too doorstep because it might be too hard up. hard to train them up. >> you what do you make >> what do you what do you make of it, benjamin, you look of it, benjamin, when you look at of at robert jenrick set of proposals, he's talking proposals, i mean, he's talking amongst these suggestions, a required minimum annual salary of £35,000 in order to even obtain be in this country. >> i mean, i think that's going to incredibly difficult to be incredibly difficult to implement because a lot of the areas where we're short of areas where we're most short of workers quickly are the workers most quickly are the lower now a city like lower paid jobs. now a city like london attracts of high london attracts a lot of high paid, skilled workers that paid, high skilled workers that i be i think most people would be a bit about . i i think most people would be a bit about. i think bit more relaxed about. i think the truth is that, you know, when into when david cameron came into office, as as office, he said as as christopher referenced, christopher hope referenced, having thousands. well, having tens of thousands. well, the figures for context are three times what they were under labour and more than double what they were before brexit. of the number of migrants coming into the now, i don't think the country. now, i don't think you need anti—migration to you need to be anti—migration to say causing say that that's causing practical problems. now you could argue we've got could argue that we've got 5 million people who are on benefits, but a great of benefits, but a great many of those issues which those have health issues which haven't resolved and so may
11:17 am
haven't been resolved and so may be difficult get back be difficult to get them back into think the truth is into work. i think the truth is that it's going to a big that it's going to be a big political problem the political problem for the government made government because they made this the centre of their agenda as party and not as a tory party and it's not going to fixed months going to be fixed in 12 months when next rishi sunak said, when the next rishi sunak said, didn't he stop the boats? >> sounds a bit of a >> which sounds a bit of a gimmick and also potentially a bit of a distraction. yeah, he would been better saying bit of a distraction. yeah, he would net been better saying bit of a distraction. yeah, he would net migrationter saying bit of a distraction. yeah, he would net migration ,r saying bit of a distraction. yeah, he would net migration , chris ng bit of a distraction. yeah, he would net migration , chris 100. reduce net migration, chris 100. >> i think it's a distraction . >> i think it's a distraction. stop the boat. it's obviously shows a lawlessness on the south coast. can't stop these coast. they can't stop these boats coming. but the boats coming. but i think the bigger the elephant in bigger issue, the elephant in the migration. the room is net migration. that's and that's not being addressed and talked tories that's not being addressed and talkerof tories that's not being addressed and talkerof view, tories that's not being addressed and talkerof view, labouriories that's not being addressed and talkerof view, labour have no point of view, labour have no real i mean, real answer either. i mean, labour no answer at all. i labour have no answer at all. i may, may be. there's also a may, i may be. there's also a side to this to say, well, it's quite a good thing that people want to come and here. we want to come and live here. we know not all that and know we're not all that bad and it's to be in. it's a nice country to be in. maybe just vaguely maybe let's just be vaguely positive benjamin it's positive about it. benjamin it's worth pointing out that a significant proportion of these figures the last couple of figures in the last couple of years, the year or two have years, the last year or two have been people the been either people with the hong kong that decided to kong visas that we decided to make much easier.
11:18 am

11:22 am
11:23 am
from. six till 930 . good morning. >> it is just about 11 on 23 in the morning. you're with britain's newsroom on gb news with pip tomson and me, ellie costello. and let's go down undeh costello. and let's go down under, shall we? because the first week in the jungle is ending and the audiences opinions on i'm a celebrity. contestants is starting to stick i >> -- >> yeah. nella rose, start strong. but after a few spiky confrontations, her chances of emerging jungle queen are , we're emerging jungle queen are, we're told, diminishing. let's take a look at the youtube stars latest head to head . head to head. >> okay, so we're going to get everything out in the open. let's get everything out of the way. right. so when sorry, all the t's coming out now. so basically. but this is what i was saying. apparently your aunfie was saying. apparently your auntie immigrants. >> and who told you that ? >> and who told you that? >> and who told you that? >> the internet told. >> oh, the internet told. >> oh, the internet told. >> oh, the internet told. >> oh, well, there we are then. it must be true. it must be
11:24 am
true. must it must be true. >> okay. but then why don't black people like you? >> amazed. do. >> you'd be amazed. they do. you'd amazed nigel, if you you'd be amazed, nigel, if you came me . if you with came with me. if you came with me . if you came. if you came me. if you came. if you came with me through south london, you'd astonished. wow. you'd be astonished. oh, wow. >> in south >> what were you doing in south london, >> what were you doing in south lonwell, there every day. >> well, i'm there every day. >> well, i'm there every day. >> in south. don't wait. >> you're in south. don't wait. sorry. i'm sorry to be shot. sorry. i'm so sorry to be shot. what are you doing? sorry >> from south i >> he's from south london. i travel south london. travel through south london. >> everyone you for >> so? so everyone hates you for no no, >> so? so everyone hates you for no no, no, >> so? so everyone hates you for no no, no, not no reason? well, no, no, not that hates. that was so that everyone hates. that was so bad. like you, you can bad. but like you, you can disagree with somebody, but to chuck around accusations the way that they've been chucked around is grossly unfair. >> anti—immigrant, no, no >> anti—immigrant, right? no, no . all i've is we cannot go . all i've said is we cannot go on with the numbers coming to britain are coming. do you britain that are coming. do you know why ? i'm one of the know why? i'm one of the numbers, right. so so that's it then. so should it be 5 million a year? 10 million? question no, you to understand. you don't seem to understand. >> nigel hang on, hang on. >> immigrants, if you. >> immigrants, if you. >> hang on, hang on, >> hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. >> they've been in power a bit later , so that got lively.
11:25 am
later, so that got lively. >> i think it was daniel, danielle, harold who was also standing there who said i only went along for a bubble bath . went along for a bubble bath. and all that . and she walked into all that. anyway, to be continued , but anyway, to be continued, but bringing us all the latest stats is spokesperson for ladbroke , is spokesperson for ladbroke, nicola mcgrady. good morning nicola, good to see you on britain's newsroom today. so tell us then who is the current favourite to win? i'm a celeb this year . this year. >> good morning, ali and pip. well the drama has certainly started already, as we have seen . um, but josie gibson, she's been playing it safe. we know the public love her because she did win big brother. so she's the favourite right now at 15 to 8. but things can change. the odds of being changing already because of the drama that's unfolding and the names that have kind of been in the middle of that drama, including nigel farage and nala, and have seen their and fred, of course, as well, their odds have really chopped and changed. so proving popular right now is nigel farage. he went in there at 61
11:26 am
to 1 and we don't see him being eliminated any time soon because he's now 25 to 1 to be the first person out. but i think the fact that he was grumpy for a while over the dishes and the likes and, you know, having rows and stuff like that, seen his odds drift slightly. but the fact that standing ground as that he's standing his ground as well, he's come in. so well, he's come back in. so i wouldn't surprised if we see wouldn't be surprised if we see the of nigel in the the likes of nigel farage in the final and it's been bad news for nala, you've just seen. nala, as you've just seen. she had baffling row fred, had this baffling row with fred, took things completely wrong. i think most of would agree. think most of us would agree. she being really she went from being really popular to being one of the rank outsiders. at 66 to 1 now to win. so she and she's one of the likely ones who's going to leave the camp first. but i do think the camp first. but i do think the arrival of frankie dettori certainly going to create more excitement and more drama in the show. we know punters absolutely love frankie dettori. he's made them plenty of money on the racecourse and they're backing him 7 to to go all the way and him 7 to 1 to go all the way and he could be a game changer, couldn't he? >> nicola when we look
11:27 am
>> nicola because when we look at people who've won in i'm a celebrity is people celebrity before, it is people like a really like frankie dettori a really popular who people popular character who people know and love. >> absolutely. like we know he is one of the champions of the pubucin is one of the champions of the public in terms of his horse racing career. so that could easily translate into the jungle, i guess it just depends how each one of them are going to deal with the challenges, the rise , the hunger being a big rise, the hunger being a big one, although frankie is a jockey, so i don't think it's going bother him a huge going to bother him a huge amount and i think some of the amount. and i think some of the other interesting contenders are the jamie spears. the likes of jamie lynn spears. now, initially was one of now, she initially was one of the real outsiders of 40 at 100 to 1, but she's now 40 to 1. you know, people actually started to really sympathise with her over the tears and then she went and smashed out the challenge out of the could possibly the park. so she could possibly represent a bit of value. but right now , the safer bets. josie right now, the safer bets. josie gibson at 15 to 8 and sam thompson, you know, they're not causing grief, but causing too much grief, but they're being entertainment entertaining and not offensive at the same time. what's quite
11:28 am
interesting as well is when we look at the types of celebrity that often end up in the top three, i think we've put together a little graphic , which together a little graphic, which i'll talk our listeners through as well. >> and sportsman, 27% of them usually end up in the top three. actor 28% really? tv 36. and musician . nicola, 37. yeah musician. nicola, 37. yeah >> really interesting there actually . i think the thing actually. i think the thing about politicians is as we've seen with matt hancock, he ended up, i think maybe in the final three last year, but he went really far. i think we could see nigel going really far in this. and you know, if politicians are actually at the bottom of the list, only 13% of them end up in the top three. >> yeah , but guess we've been >> yeah, but guess we've been surprised in recent times. >> i think we're seeing more politicians wanting to go into the jungle and the funny thing is the fact that nigel openly
11:29 am
says he wants the airtime slightly shameless, but also admirable because most of them think you know, they're thinking it , but they're not going to say it, but they're not going to say it, but they're not going to say it out loud. and we haven't seen the politician mask slip yet. it did with matt hancock. he became more human. if nigel is able to show that more human side , who show that more human side, who knows? he could end up in the final three. but yeah, sports people tend to do really well. you know, they've got resilience. they've already got an of out there. so, an army of fans out there. so, you know, i think frankie could do could do really well here. >> so is your money on frankie dettori? >> absolute . >> nicola absolute. >> nicola absolute. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> okay. >> okay. >> all right. >> all right. >> we'll come back to you on that. thank you very much. nicola mcgrady from ladbrokes, very good to you very good to see you this morning. is morning. and christopher hope is still who's still with us, who's been eagerly watching this this year's i'm a celeb. >> not sure about nigel >> i'm not sure about nigel farage. thought he farage. i mean, i thought he might because lots might win because he's got lots of support. all those of support. he won all those votes election support votes in 2015. election support from gb news viewers, of course . from gb news viewers, of course. but i just think he's been exposed by a cynical approach to
11:30 am
it. is caught camera and it. he is caught on camera and he exposed himself well twice bottom. i have no problem with this being a bottom of farage, but to i there's was too much for me . but i but to i there's was too much for me. but i think when he said there that i want to do more of these trials, i get 25% more of these trials, i get 25% more of the to grace dent that the airtime to grace dent that shows a cynicism about it. and in fact, when he did do his first test, they ate those the pizzas of teats and horrible things he put in looked like eating, eating bran flakes , like eating, eating bran flakes, like he's chopped them down with barely , barely any kind of barely, barely any kind of reaction. you've got to start stretching and making out. you hate it. he needs to be. >> so are you saying he needs to be a little bit more extreme? one way or the other? >> he's being stoic. and if you're you're the you're just maybe you're of the generation, he's through generation, he's been through quite a plane crash. quite a lot at a plane crash. you he's had lot of you know, he's had a lot of things chucked out in his life for cause, which was brexit. for his cause, which was brexit. but think he's to but i think he's he's got to emote show of, oh, emote more and show more of, oh, this is a nightmare. i can't do this is a nightmare. i can't do this anymore. and viewers this anymore. and then viewers want to stick it on. >> we know cynics here do >> but we do know cynics here do know it comes down to
11:31 am
know that it all comes down to the editing. >> yeah. now, the do itv want >> yeah. now, do the do itv want the you someone as the you know, someone as controversial as farage to win their prize tv show? well, the question i can't answer, i'm going to put out there. >> what do think what nicola >> what do you think what nicola was about about was saying there about about matt success year matt hancock's success last year coming he coming third place because he showed that human side. you just got to be like these seven or 5 or 7 of those tests in a row. >> and he's got really involved, got into it. and he got really got into it. and he also did really he also he did really well. he looked a lot of his looked he saw a lot of his character through he character came through and he won loads of stars for his campmates. and sort campmates. and he almost sort of, , turned his his pr of, you know, turned his his pr image around with that, i think. >> and do you think that's what we need to see more of with nigel to let the politician face slip of him slip almost and see more of him as human? as a as a human? >> because, you know, the person we on tv the same we see on tv isn't the same person as see backstage and person as we see backstage and have that to come have more of that person to come out, i think would would help him. he can't hear us. kenny him. but he can't hear us. kenny he's i mean, we did we did >> no, no. i mean, we did we did catch moaning the catch him moaning about the dishes, about been dishes, moaning about he'd been trudging a way with dishes, moaning about he'd been

11:39 am
11:40 am
11:41 am
and people that i knew had dewbs & co weeknights from . six
11:42 am
& co weeknights from. six >> welcome back. it's 1141. you're with britain's newsroom on gb news with pip tomson and me, ellie costello. and some breaking news in the past few moments that oscar pistorius will be freed from prison on parole in japan .jury nearly 11 parole in japan. jury nearly 11 years after killing his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp on valentine's day in 2013. you'll remember that he shot reeva steenkamp multiple times through a bathroom door on valentine's day in 2013. he claimed he mistook her for a burglar, but that breaking news in the past few minutes that he is going to be freed on parole . be freed on parole. >> and we've got political commentator matthew stadlen with us, and broadcaster mike parry . us, and broadcaster mike parry. matthew, you remember covering this case for over a decade ago now. i mean, he was known as the blade runner. he was very much a hero. and then he went to zero. i mean, such a terrible case and
11:43 am
complicated. i remember at the time i was a bbc sort of cab rank reporter , journalist doing rank reporter, journalist doing my shift and the story flashed up so i had to report on it. >> and i mean, it was a shocking, shocking story, wasn't it terrible. no one who watched or listened to that could have been left with anything other than horror. not here to than horror. but i'm not here to sort of double guess the supreme court of south africa how court of south africa and how they how they work through their criminal justice system. i think a lot of people felt that this initial sentence was was far too i mean, don't forget, at first he was found guilty of culpable homicide, manslaughter, in fact. and that was then upgraded, wasn't it, to supreme court, more doubled, more than more than doubled, more than doubled at the doubled his sentence at the point at which it was. it was upgraded murder. prosecutors upgraded to murder. prosecutors were a 16 year sentence were seeking a 16 year sentence and was given just a further and he was given just a further six in prison . so i think six years in prison. so i think there will undoubtedly whatever i think the south african i think of the south african system and i don't have strong views it, i think there views on it, i think there will not a of people will not be a lot of people will be shocked he's being released
11:44 am
shocked that he's being released and i'm and nobody more shocked, i'm sure, steenkamp's sure, than reeva steenkamp's mother, speaking at the mother, who speaking at the parole hearing recently, speaking about reeva's father, barry, who died this year. >> and she says he died of a broken heart, a broken heart. >> well, at the original trial, i mean, the world must have been in shock, like when he was i mean, the world must have been in sho guiltya when he was i mean, the world must have been in sho guilty of when he was i mean, the world must have been in sho guilty of manslaughters found guilty of manslaughter after we'd heard all the evidence of him crawling on literally his hands and knees literally on his hands and knees up the door of the en suite up to the door of the en suite bathroom, he had demonstrate bathroom, he had to demonstrate it in court and take his absolutely how i got across there my prosthetic there without my prosthetic limbs. but then pumping a shotgun through that door 3 or 4 times and saying, well, i thought it was a burglar. it was ridiculous. so his initial, um, imprisonment was house arrest, believe it or not. can you believe it or not. can you believe that he was convicted of manslaughter? he was given a lenient sentence and told it be house arrest, going to live with a his family. then, a member of his family. then, of course, world in outrage course, the world in outrage came you can't came back and said, you can't got for murder . matt's got done for murder. matt's absolutely right. the initial sentence was six years. but they
11:45 am
appealed that and he got 13 years and he wasn't due for parole next year. so parole until march next year. so this has a bit early, but i this has come a bit early, but i don't where going to don't know where he's going to go because he must be one of the world's people. go because he must be one of the world' steenkamp people. go because he must be one of the world' steenkamp was)eople. go because he must be one of the world' steenkamp was one le. go because he must be one of the world' steenkamp was one of reeva steenkamp was one of the most beautiful women any of us have ever seen. you know what i mean? you wow, to mean? and you thought, wow, to take away a life like that . i take away a life like that. i interviewed him once. oscar pistorius , very man . interviewed him once. oscar pistorius , very man. i pistorius, very difficult man. i mean, i know he had. >> what do you mean, in terms of his attitude? >> his attitude was horrible. and walked my and he walked out on my interview when said to him, interview when i said to him, oscar , you know, you're in oscar, you know, you're in a unique position in blade runner. those on your legs. do those blades on your legs. do they at any time give you an advantage stage over able bodied athletes that you want to run against in the sense that the kinetic power from your blades is greater than a human leg? and he just threw a paddy and took his microphone off. i'm not taking this and walked out so that indicates somewhat of his personality because the reason we think he shot his girlfriend was because earlier in the day
11:46 am
