editor, joins now editor, mike white joins us now in the studio for an update . in the studio for an update. >> mark, the moment were >> mark, the moment many were just come . just praying would come. >> there is a momentary ceasefire. what's the latest? >> well , it's ceasefire. what's the latest? >> well, it's very precarious of course, not just the truce, but the whole transfer of hostages from a terrorist group to the red cross and eventually on to the israeli military. that's underway. we understand the latest news that we're getting out of israeli media is that these hostages, the israeli hostages, have been handed over to the international red cross. it's within gaza, an undisclosed location in clearly from hamas's point of view, they trying point of view, they were trying to long s of security, to insist on long s of security, safe guards. there's drones overhead would overhead that the israelis would have don't know overhead that the israelis would havefar don't know overhead that the israelis would havefar israel don't know overhead that the israelis would havefar israel has don't know overhead that the israelis would havefar israel has acquiescedrv overhead that the israelis would havefar israel has acquiesced to how far israel has acquiesced to those from hamas anyway. those demands from hamas anyway. they've the they've got satellites in the sky that are pretty sky far above that are pretty good happening good at imaging what's happening on say, we on the ground. but as i say, we understand according to israeli media, those 13 israeli media, that those 13 israeli hostages are now in the care of the international red cross and making their way to the rafah border that's southern

border. so that's the southern border. so that's the southern border of the gaza into border of the gaza strip into egypt' border of the gaza strip into egypt, into the egypt, bordering egypt, into the sinai . yeah. sinai peninsula. yeah. >> if they are >> and do we know if they are women that the demand >> and do we know if they are womerisraeli hat the demand >> and do we know if they are womerisraeli authorities. demand >> and do we know if they are womerisraeli authorities. the1and of the israeli authorities. the kind for that. kind of preference was for that. do all do you know any detail at all about who the individuals are? >> that we're >> well, we know that we're expecting women and children to be because that's be released today because that's what told by the what we've been told by the israeli but we won't israeli government. but we won't know, of course, until we actually have those that have been transferred across the border. we should say in addition to those 13 israeli nationals , we have 12 thai nationals, we have 12 thai cities , persons that were cities, persons that were kidnapped as well on the 7th of october. now these ties were were being migrant workers working in the agriculture industry down on some of the kibbutz when hamas carried out their terrorist attack and took them hostage. that is part apparently of a separate negotiation that has taken place that the egyptians handled the negotiations with hamas , that negotiations with hamas, that secured the release of these 12 thai nationals. the thai prime minister has confirmed that they

have now been released. they are in the process of being brought to safety at the same time as the 13 israelis, and it's hoped , the 13 israelis, and it's hoped, martin, that over the course of the next few days, 53 israelis will be brought to safety , will will be brought to safety, will be released by hamas . but be released by hamas. but remember, 240, at least , be released by hamas. but remember, 240, at least, is be released by hamas. but remember, 240, at least , is the remember, 240, at least, is the number of hostages that hamas has been holding. >> and this comes with caveats, of course, the word was is for every ten hostages released, there would be a day of ceasefire of course, aid is going in, but also there's some horse trading going on. >> the palestinians have demanded 39 detainees held in israeli jails or released in return, presumably . return, presumably. >> see, these are characters that the israelis would rather keep in jail. >> and in fact, we have seen previous instances of palestinian detainees being released and going on to commit further terrorist offences against israel. >> well, of course , it's always >> well, of course, it's always a risk and it's very unpalatable

. and israel is holding its nose and, you know, just having to deal with what's in front of them. they need to get these hostages is released and the release of . 39 palestinians, release of. 39 palestinians, some of them convey convicted terrorists is not something they want to do. but if it secures the release of these innocent members of the public who were taken hostage by hamas on the 7th of october, then they will do do that and they'll have to deal with the potential consequences of releasing convicted terrorists back into to the community again , we to the community again, we should say that in terms of the way that this is supposed to work after the next few days. so 13 israelis being released today, then over the next three days, a similar amount with a total of about 5050 over a penod total of about 5050 over a period of four days. and while

that four days of release activity is taking place , there activity is taking place, there will be a truce that it's hoped will be a truce that it's hoped will hold. but these things are always very fragile and a mistake by any side here could break down that truce . and after break down that truce. and after the 50 or so hostages have been released, you will still be left with about 200 odd who are being held hostage. the hope is that over the coming 20 or so days that ten hostages, a day will be released and the truce, according to the israelis , will according to the israelis, will hold for each day that ten hostages are released. so we could actually have a prolonged penod could actually have a prolonged period ad of a cessation of violence in the gaza strip . violence in the gaza strip. >> it's a it's quite a change of position because netanyahu initially was very brazier in saying he wouldn't stop until hamas had been wiped out. the hostages would be retrieved by idf ground forces going in and

physically pulling them out . do physically pulling them out. do you think joe biden getting involved in this has had an influence? he was asking for a softer more softer approach, a more negotiation based approach. softer approach, a more necourse>n based approach. softer approach, a more necourse ,| based approach. softer approach, a more ne course , the ;ed approach. softer approach, a more ne course , the great»proach. softer approach, a more ne course , the great fearch. softer approach, a more ne course , the great fear is. of course, the great fear is that with every day of ceasefire, it will allow hamas to regroup. nevertheless this is a necessity . a necessity. >> i think it's you know, i dynamic and fluid assessment as far as prime minister netanyahu and his war cabinet are concerned. we should say that benjamin netanyahu and also the defence minister, other members of the war cabinet are in the command centre at the moment overseeing a monitoring the release of these hostages. but initially, of course, they wanted to go in and put pressure on hamas . there was a period, on hamas. there was a period, remember in the days after the 7th of october attacks where an american woman and her daughter were released and a couple of weeks later, we had another two israeli elderly women that were

released. and then nothing. and eqypt released. and then nothing. and egypt made the assessment that actually those talks had stalled and that hamas was just playing for time. so that fed into their decision making in terms of starting the ground war. they wanted to ratchet up the pressure on hamas and also see whether they could rescue hostages. and they did do that. one female israeli member of the idf, they managed to rescue in an operation during their push into the gaza strip. but then, of course, nothing in the weeks after that. so the negotiations were continuing behind the scenes. obviously, qatar playing a part and then also egypt and some of the gulf states playing a part as well in the negotiations . and we understand negotiations. and we understand it's two separate negotiations . it's two separate negotiations. one that egypt has managed to broker to get the 12 thai nationals released and then

another set of negotiations that the qataris were responsible for that has also then we believe, led to the release of 39 israel tv. now saying that the hostages us are meeting israeli officials on egyptian soil as we speak. so it seems that the hostages have crossed over from gaza into the safety of egypt and they are now meeting with israeli officials. >> that's fantastic news. and we can go to pictures here, live pictures for those of you who can't see them on radio. so these are live pictures from the ofer prison in israel where palestinian prisoners are expected to be released in exchange for those israeli hostages . so those are live hostages. so those are live pictures of the prison where the israelis are , the palestinian israelis are, the palestinian prisoners beg your pardon, are being held. so very much alive. exchange situation. the prisoners coming out in in in

exchange for the hostages coming from palestine in. and that's live pictures there at the rafah crossing. it appears to be vehicles moving towards the egyptian side from palestine . so egyptian side from palestine. so presumably that may be some of the first convoy of hostages . the first convoy of hostages. well, it could be. >> that looks like it. certainly there is activity there on the rafah crossing at the moment . so rafah crossing at the moment. so those officials is including intelligence officials from shin bet , the israeli secret service bet, the israeli secret service are meeting those hostages to debrief them to speak to them. initially, they there have been said otters that have been set up initially where these hostages can be taken to remember the plan is that some of the hostages will be children. the soft toys and things like that. just to help them. god knows what kind of ordeal . all these little ones

ordeal. all these little ones have been through over recent weeks and what the conditions were like down in those tunnel systems . and remember, many of systems. and remember, many of them will be without out parents, parents possibly murdered in the attacks as well . murdered in the attacks as well. so not just physically, but psychologically likely, they could be in a terrible state. so it will be a delicate process of just dealing with these hostages. first of all, speaking to them, gaining from the intelligence side of things as much as they can initially while assessing the medically and psychologically as much as they can do at this stage, then getting them onto these helicon captors for a trip to probably tel aviv, because when we have

the release . on the 23rd of the release. on the 23rd of october of nurit cooper and djokovic , lipsitch, they were djokovic, lipsitch, they were taken to hospital in tel aviv initially and assessed there by medics and one of the main hospitals in central tel aviv. so it's likely that will happen as well. >> so they'll be physically assessed, obviously psychologically assessed that they have been through a huge , they have been through a huge, huge trauma. heaven knows what they've been through in those tunnels in the complexes, within palestine, within the gaza area , palestine, within the gaza area, and also presumably they will be questioned by the intelligence services as to what they know, what they've seen. and then, of course, there'll be a huge global public interest in their

human stories. so the days ahead are going to be absolutely fascinating and key to watch. >> i think that's a bus that looked as it was in shot looked as though it was in shot there, rafah crossing there there, the rafah crossing there certainly looks as though there's convoys of vehicles . there's convoys of vehicles. it's possible as well. remember that what is also happening at the rafah crossing , because the rafah crossing, because we've got this truce because the crossing is open into fashion anyway, we're getting aid trucks that are crossing over into gaza as well. 200 trucks each day with among them fuel trucks for the first time with 130,000l of fuel each day to go into the gaza strip to the aid agencies there are to be passed on to the likes of the hospitals and the desalination plants and alike in the gaza strip as well. so there looks to be a convoy of vehicles there. it might be a bus that we can see just parked up in shot

with other vehicles behind it with other vehicles behind it with orange flashing lights . so with orange flashing lights. so that may well be the hostages having being initially assessed at being then taken away there to their helicopter. it would seem perhaps a bit sudden for that to happen. i don't know how long they would be assessed in this centre. it's only speculation on our part and i guess it depends what those

sunday mornings from 930 on . gb

news. >> welcome back. it's 324. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news now , martin daubney on gb news now, in a few minutes, find out why rishi sunak is under yet more pressure from tory mps and i'll bnng pressure from tory mps and i'll bring you an apology from jacob rees—mogg. but now to the fallout from last night's riots in dublin after the republic of ireland's premier says the hundreds of people involved in violent scenes brought shame on the country. 34 people were arrested in riots that saw buses and trams burned , shops looted and trams burned, shops looted and trams burned, shops looted and several police vehicles damaged. the violence was triggered by a knife attack on three schoolchildren and their care assistant outside a school in the city centre yesterday lunchtime . well, let's cross now lunchtime. well, let's cross now to dublin and speak to our reporter dougie beattie dougie. for those of us who've been watching the political landscape in in ireland and particularly in in ireland and particularly in dublin for the last year , as in dublin for the last year, as there's been a certain sense of inevitability of the area, feeling like something of a

powder keg, the island is full movement, huge dissatisfaction from the local working class community due to the fact they felt that thousands of refugees were being forced upon them with no consultation. do you think yesterday's tragic stab beings was the inevitable spark that lit that tinderbox . lit that tinderbox. >> well, i don't know about being an inevitable spark, but definitely this has been boiling under the surface for quite some time. in fact, i reported on it about a year ago in a place called the east wall. it's not that far away from where i'm standing now. and it's those working class areas , those, as working class areas, those, as we would call them, the dubbers, the real dubliners that that have been based and their communities have taken the most amount of immigrants into them because obviously in any major city in dublin is truly a massive european city in ireland. and it has took an awful amount of immigrants in in

this last couple of years. now, the ukrainian that came here, they have been fleeing war. and you know, i spent a bit of time in the crimea for a short while ago. and, you know, ukrainians way of life is actually very similar to britain in a whole. you know, i mean, they're morally the same. it is a beautiful country. and most of the people that arrive from ukraine, you will find that they are doing exactly what that is meant to do for refugees. they are fleeing war, most of them being women and children. that is never denied . and in fact, is never denied. and in fact, dubun is never denied. and in fact, dublin doesn't deny people coming into the city either. what the locals really do want is more security checks. they want more housing for themselves . you've got quite a waiting list in dublin, probably about four years for a house here. and you know, all of this is playing into the hands of those working

classes and those working classes and those working classes used to work in factories. they used to work in the docks and they were very down earth people . and they the docks and they were very dow1thatearth people . and they the docks and they were very dow1that they people . and they the docks and they were very dow1that they haven't. and they the docks and they were very dow1that they haven't been they feel that they haven't been listened so was this a spark listened to. so was this a spark last night ? probably. you could last night? probably. you could probably argue that that was the last them because last straw for them because cause time the press cause at the time in the press conference is the commissioner of garda siochana didn't of the garda siochana didn't deny or accept that this was an irish national, that, well, it was suspected of carrying out this we must say that this attack. we must say that this attack. we must say that this young five year that this young five year old that that still in a very critical that is still in a very critical condition in temple street, just just up the road from here. and mary lou mcdonald , who's the mary lou mcdonald, who's the leader of sinn fein, just just a short time ago, she spoke to the press and she was calling for the resignation of helen mccarthy , the justice minister, mccarthy, the justice minister, and that of drew harris, the commissioner of the garda siochana. but last night here, the garda siochana did do a very effective job in putting down what was a very serious situation . within about three situation. within about three hours, they managed to corral

the protesters into different streets and divide and conquer. isuppose streets and divide and conquer. i suppose , as they went in when i suppose, as they went in when they threw a ring of steel around the city. but i spoke to one of the local residents last night, and here's what he had to say. >> right. so what happened here today was kids were stabbed in a school and one of them was my friend's kid . and aslef, thank friend's kid. and aslef, thank god . then people came in to have god. then people came in to have a well, i thought to be a peaceful protest in the city centre at the spar tonight, but obviously it didn't. there was a lot of people here when i arrived early about half five, and there was carnage. there was arrived early about half five, and “were was carnage. there was arrived early about half five, and “were angry. rnage. there was arrived early about half five, and “were angry. rnagewere re was arrived early about half five, and �*w there gry. rnagewere re was arrived early about half five, and �*w there was'nagewere re was arrived early about half five, and �*w there was women, 'e re was upset. there was women, children. they were just men. an angry police. what angry with the police. so what happened ? and then just went happened? and then it just went out police cars ended out of hand. police cars ended up lewis up on up on fire. lewis ended up on fire. ended on fire. fire. bus ended up on fire. shops looted . and it was shops were looted. and it was just carnage on o'connell street and there on o'connell and all there on o'connell street onto the bridge and street up onto the bridge and guards were the guards came with like them boys or stuff and they

were the shields and they were fighting with the people with they were hitting people. and it was just scuffles everywhere. it was just scuffles everywhere. it was bottles throwing was just bottles throwing rockets like fire rockets , you rockets like fire rockets, you know, like and fireworks . it was know, like and fireworks. it was just carnage. it's a horrible thing to see in me city. i'd never seen nothing like it before in life . before in my life. >> well, you could hear from that local resident. there is angerin that local resident. there is anger in amongst the community and most of these problems are exactly the same problems that they're not only across they're having. not only across uk, the whole way across uk, but the whole way across europe. and it's really to do with and not with infrastructure and not enough of it to cope with the amount of people that's coming in. instead of growing your population and the infrastructure at the same time . infrastructure at the same time. that isn't happening . that isn't happening. >> okay, dougie beattie, thank you for that update live from dubun you for that update live from dublin . well, i'm joined now by dublin. well, i'm joined now by kevin maher, who's an author and a commentator on irish politics. good welcome to the good afternoon. welcome to the show, kevin always a pleasure. we heard from a local resident there in dublin who said it was carnage on the street last night. i wanted to ask you,

though , about the reaction of though, about the reaction of leo varadkar. he made a statement this afternoon and he seemed to turn his anger not on the perpetrator of the crime, but on the residents of dublin. he called them cowardly chaplains , saying that most chaplains, saying that most people are afraid of you. your angen people are afraid of you. your anger, your hate , and how you anger, your hate, and how you blame others for your problems . blame others for your problems. he called the rioters criminals filled with hate. do you think , filled with hate. do you think, considering the situation we just heard on some of the political backdrop and how there's great dissatisfaction from locals, do you think that's the right thing for varadkar to have said ? have said? >> i think it's a predictable response because leo varadkar is like a lot of european politicians. he is very liberal. hit the party. he leads fine gaelis hit the party. he leads fine gael is a kind of david cameron. tory party. they're very socially liberal, economically liberal. they've ignored a lot of the social and economic problems in the republic of ireland, ireland is a bit of a

paradox economically. it's doing incredibly well . its tax incredibly well. its tax receipts are overflowing. jeremy hunt looks on enviously. i have no doubt, but there are a lot of problems with housing. there are a lot of problems with dilapidation in those traditional communities. as dougie was mentioning a few minutes , that his government minutes ago, that his government has presided over and done very little about the problem that's taking place really in ireland in the last decade, is that a million migrants there or thereabouts have come and settled in ireland over the last decade. it's been a massive social change very, very quickly and typically , like in britain and typically, like in britain and typically, like in britain and like lots of other european countries, done without the consent, the electoral consent of the irish people. and it's created a very big backlash . created a very big backlash. and, you know, quite rightly , as and, you know, quite rightly, as dougie was pointing out over the course of the last year or 18 months, there have been a lot of disturbances. there have been a lot of protests. there's been a lot of protests. there's been a lot and this lot of anger. and on this occasion, it's spilled into occasion, it's spilled over into the the rioting we've

have failed. elsewhere. the new conservative said it's do or die. miriam cates and danny kruger. and everywhere you look, there's carnage. the telegraph today saying the betrayal of the british people is complete. it's a fresh day and it's a fresh immigration nightmare for the conservatives >> yes, absolutely . we talk a >> yes, absolutely. we talk a lot about small boats , don't we? lot about small boats, don't we? and the government's attempts to stop those they're not stop those which they're not doing of. but doing a great job of. but i think perhaps even more significant is this total failure to control legal migration, because, of course , migration, because, of course, this is a government that spent many years saying they would get net migration down to the tens of thousands. boris johnson in 2019 said in the tory manifesto that numbers would come down at the time it was about 230,000 did. and who would have thought when people voted for brexit in 2016 to take back control of our borders, amongst other things,

that the result would be that not only the numbers not fall, but actually tripled to two three quarters of a million. just to put this into context, it's completely unpressed dented. we've never seen anything like this before. go back a couple of hundred years. people leaving in people generally were leaving in fact, we were a net exporter of people 1980s. people till about the 1980s. then with new labour, the numbers started to go up a couple of hundred thousand a yean couple of hundred thousand a year, up and up to 300,000. all these pledges to bring it down, but make no mistake, while we were within the eu, there was only so much we could do because of free movement . but since of free movement. but since we've left , these numbers are we've left, these numbers are the directly because of choices the directly because of choices the government have made. okay ukrainians, hong kong refugees and that is transitory. of course, huge numbers of students go wait for the education sector and huge numbers of workers now filling gaps in the nhs, in

social care. we know there's a crisis in social care, but of course a lot of people will say we've got over 5 million people in this country on out of work benefits in cities like glasgow, like liverpool and birmingham, 20% of the working age population are actually on benefits. why why on earth are we bringing people in and not training our own people and getting them back to work? so i think the government are going to have to do something very dramatic between now and the next election. but it's not that clear that they really want to orindeed clear that they really want to or indeed they can because they've had 13 years. >> well, that's a great point, because it's one thing to focus on small boats , and that's fair on small boats, and that's fair enough. they're tangible. you can see it. it's blatantly and provably unfair. however over this isn't through the cat flap. this is holding open the front doon this is holding open the front door. it's almost rolling out the red carpet. the government is issuing visas in record amounts, has the power to not do

so . it just chooses to not do so. it just chooses to not do so. it just chooses to not do so. and the numbers coming in legally dwarf those coming in illegally. so it's not a case of losing control, is it? it's a case of not wanting to even control it in the first place . control it in the first place. >> well, it would certainly seem that way . and certainly there that way. and certainly there are tensions within government. the home office also obviously wants to get numbers down. wants to get the numbers down. so very tough words so we've had very tough words from former secretary from former home secretary suella braverman from the home secretary before her pretty patel. but other departments within government, the education department , they're very happy department, they're very happy to have hundreds of thousands of students coming , putting their students coming, putting their money into uk universities. and of course , the health of course, the health department, they need workers. they've got a huge skill shortage. if you're a worker in social care, frankly, you can get more money by going and getting a job in your local supermarket. it's a tough job, so you can understand why certain departments really want the numbers . but overall, the

the numbers. but overall, the conservatives have pledged over and over again to get these numbers down. not only .have they not done that, but the numbers have tripled on their watch. >> okay , katherine forster thank >> okay, katherine forster thank you for that update . i wonder you for that update. i wonder what out there about what you think out there about this, hear so this, because we just hear so many platitudes , don't we? we many platitudes, don't we? we have many of apologies. have so many kind of apologies. and i just wonder if any of it resonates anymore . just feels resonates anymore. just feels like government. it's not just about taking back control. i just don't feels like they don't even know what you even care. let me know what you think. black friday think. anyway, it's black friday when slash prices in when retailers slash prices in an effort to boost trade ahead of christmas, but has their plan worked, or is it just a load of old hype? i martin daubney on gb news. and this is britain's

with me, michael portillo news, britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> welcome back . it's a 3:45. >> welcome back. it's a 3:45. you're watching or listening to martin daubney on gb news at 4:00. we'll have the latest from israel after hamas released 25 hostages this afternoon . we've hostages this afternoon. we've got live footage from the rafah crossing, as you can see on crossing, as you can see on screen crossing, as you can see on screen there . now, today is screen there. now, today is black friday, the official day to start your christmas shopping, or so they tell us, as retailers across the uk promote their latest sales and discounts . but shoppers are expected to significantly rein in their

spending this year as the cost of living crisis takes its toll. well to find out if that's true or not, let's go live now to gb news allison, who's or not, let's go live now to gb nerford allison, who's or not, let's go live now to gb ne oxford in allison, who's or not, let's go live now to gb nerford in central who's in oxford street in central london and also north of the border. london and also north of the borderin glasgow. ray, who's in glasgow. first, ray, today who's in glasgow. first, ray, towas something of it was like something out of zombie all be zombie apocalypse. we'd all be trying fight for a flat trying to fight for a flat screen tv or a new gift for christmas. this year feels like a bit of a damp squib. or am i just being a bit bah humbug. you tell me. yeah, i think rumours of the apocalypse are perhaps overrated. >> certainly no signs of that here today . i got here very here today. i got here very early in the morning for just 730 and it was eerily quiet . but 730 and it was eerily quiet. but i did think there was a few people, maybe queuing up. maybe we've seen tradition people going as early as sort of 4 am. and sleeping outside the store. however, there was absolutely no

sign of that. it did start to get a little bit busier, though . get a little bit busier, though. so through the day, it kind of does indicate that perhaps people are choosing to shop more online. so analysts will be able to tell us later on when they see those sorts of figures. of course , one retailer was telling course, one retailer was telling me that today does actually feel busier than it would normally do on a friday, more like a saturday, he said, but not like a black friday, as we would come to know it. certainly no sign of sort of madness and bargain hunting. well, i say no. mad ness, but behind me we had the hmv opened by the pop band madness and it closed down in 2009 18. and perhaps we can take its reopening now four years later as a sign that things on the high street are starting to develop a little bit. and of

course they wouldn't be doing that unless they thought there was going to be enough footfall . was going to be enough footfall. the owners, the new owners were hoping that there would be a big enough crowd to shut down the street. that quite street. that didn't quite happen, . so they happen, although. so they obviously believe that there's enough potential interest to bnng enough potential interest to bring store back. it's a bring this store back. it's a brand that's been around for over lots of young over 100 years. lots of young people, though, me, people, though, saying to me, asking the question, is asking me the question, what is hmv? heard of it. so hmv? i've never heard of it. so they'll have to work on their brand martin brand awareness. martin certainly brand awareness. martin cerhmv madness next, we're >> hmv madness next, we're trying to flog us some dele boppers. okay, let's go north of the now to tony mcguire. the border now to tony mcguire. tony, you're outside. john lewis. understand it. john lewis. as i understand it. john lewis. as i understand it. john lewis their own lewis they've had their own difficulties and understand difficulties and i understand it, tony. they're now branching out try and out into health care to try and tempt through the shop tempt people through the shop doon tempt people through the shop door. about . door. what's all that about. >> yeah, that's correct. certainly john lewis is now looking for ways to bring more shoppers into the store by teaming up with randox health. they're a diagnostics company

that's going to help members of the public diagnose such things as vitamin deficiencies and hormone imbalance. and hopefully, as time goes on and allow more people to more choice to kind of do these health things in stores now, they're going to come up against some stiff competition because boots and superdrug , they already and superdrug, they already offer a range of offers in their stores. but certainly in the first six months of this year. john lewis will they were down about £58 million. now they'll be looking to open the first store in december. the first clinic in high wycombe and then later on in bluewater tower and other around the store. none in scotland . but today, certainly

scotland. but today, certainly i was talking to a lot of shoppers in and around buchanan street, which you can see behind me. and i was so keen because it's the question that burns everyone's lips year after year. why shop in town as opposed to online shopping ? shopping? >> there's a lot better compared to online stuff, because if you're going into a physical shop, you can actually see the products that you might buy online. >> and why? why is that ? >> and why? why is that? >> and why? why is that? >> it's just a lot easier and they deliver it to your home and you don't have to look at all these people. >> how are you getting your bags today? no bags. >> no bags. >> no bags. >> got them all online. >> got them all online. >> yeah. i'd like to see what i'm getting. i don't like looking online, so, you know, i like to see what i'm buying. >> it's a tactile experience for you. >> it's a tactile experience for youi myself get on christmas shopping. >> done. that's it . >> done. that's it. >> done. that's it. >> done. that's it. >> done and dusted. you get to see the items rather than online.

>> you can't see anything on good bargains. >> senior citizens like jean canny do online shopping, but i think it's better coming in the shops and seeing the people and keeping their shops open . keeping their shops open. >> i so we learned three things really from those chats with the public. >> one, someone really needs to help jean work out online shopping. it's been long enough to mend particularly don't really like talking about shopping even on black friday and three there are still plenty people who want to come into town and do their shopping ahead of christmas .

of christmas. >> okay. tony mcguire, thank you there from glasgow. if you want my opinion, forget about putting health facilities in stores , put health facilities in stores, put a man crash in or as i call it, a man crash in or as i call it, a pub. that's what we want. we can sit there and we can have a couple of bevvies while the missus shops around. call me retrograde. that's what i think the high street needs now. thanks, guys. moving on. that's the high street needs now. thaninewsys. moving on. that's the high street needs now. thaninews for moving on. that's the high street needs now. thaninews for the ing on. that's the high street needs now. thaninews for the north—eastt's the high street needs now. thaninews for the north—east of good news for the north—east of england nissan england today. nissan has announced the production of three electric car models three new electric car models securing 6000 jobs. the prime minister and the chancellor were both at nissan's sunderland plant. today. company is the plant. today. the company is the only car maker in the uk with a dedicated battery plant near to its plant. rishi sunak says its car plant. rishi sunak says the £3 billion investment is great news. >> delighted to be here in sunderland at the nissan plant to celebrate the fact that nissan and its partners are tripling their investment in the uk to £3 billion. this is our largest car plant. it's future

is safeguarded, protecting thousands of jobs and also transitioning to new electric vehicles. so it's a huge vote of confidence in the uk and in our automotive industry and it's great in advance of the global investment summit that we are hosting on monday, where we will be hosting over 200 business and investment leaders from around the world, point. >> and i think the cost of, let's say the upfront cost, the sticker price, what you go into, the pay evs and petrol and diesels , hopefully the diesels, hopefully the inflection point, the point where that crosses over will be in about 2027. >> until then, for most people, they buy third hand and fourth hand cars. >> a lot of evs at the moment have only been around for 2 or 3 years. they're beginning to go into the second hand car market, but the vast majority of normal people drive third or fourth hand cars and we're a good six,

seven, eight years away from trying to get people into evs, which because they're trying to get people into evs, whicrto because they're trying to get people into evs, whicrto drive, because they're trying to get people into evs, whicrto drive, they'reause they're trying to get people into evs, whicrto drive, they're quieterey're nicer to drive, they're quieter and they're cheaper to run. >> actually are trying to >> so we actually are trying to focus on how we can get people into second hand, third hand cars is vitally important. >> and what's your position on rowing back on the banning the obsoletion of petrol and diesel vehicles which governments seem hell bent on doing? a lot of people again feel that there's more stick than carrot there. people want the choice is choice something we shouldn't have should we be universally driving towards electric vehicles or is that a bit unfair? >> i think it is unfair. >> i think it is unfair. >> and i think where we got to with the zev mandate is that this is something that car

companies have had to be a little bit led by the nose to try and ditch before they would want to petrol and diesel cars. they want to try and recoup all they can from their investment they can from their investment they put into petrol and diesel cars and we need to get going forward quickly with evs. >> so yes, manufacturers did need to be dragged a little bit. >> the key thing for your viewers is that you will still be able to drive a petrol and diesel car well into the 2040s. for most people , this is not for most people, this is not going to impact them until they start to change the laws because they normally do, don't they? >> they change the laws around the around the toyota prius.

first of all, that was exempt from road tax and congestion charge in london and then went a load of people bought them. they changed the rules. the road tax rule is being changed from 2025 on evs anyway the store is .

versions of two new cars at its sunderland plant. the japanese automaker's new electric qashqai and juke models will be manufactured at the site. it's also expected to bring wider investment in the industry , investment in the industry, including the construction of a new giga factory to make more batteries . as rishi sunak is batteries. as rishi sunak is facing a backlash from senior members of his own party after new figures revealed migration is at an all time high. reports suggest mps are demanding action to reduce the number of people coming legally to the uk. net migration peaked at 745,000 last yean migration peaked at 745,000 last year, a record high. work and pensions secretary mel stride says measures to reduce the number are already in place . number are already in place. >> we accept that the figures are too high and that's why , for are too high and that's why, for example, recently we announced that in the case of 150,000 phd student visas, we'd be clamping down on them, bringing dependents in with them. we're putting up the cost of visas, a

number of different measures, and the obr , who are the and the obr, who are the independent forecasters who look at the kind of impacts of these steps, recognise that this will in itself start to bring the level of migration down. but there is more to be done and a familiar face is returning to london's oxford street as music shop hmv reopens its doors as the historic retailer returns today after a four year absence reclaiming its old flagship location in what's hoped to be a boost for the popular shopping strip. >> gb news reporter ray addison, is there . is there. >> he's returned to profit means that new owner, doug putnam, has been able to reopen the brand's flagship store four years after it shut down here on oxford street. he's going to be hoping that it can once again become a mainstay of the high street. now, over the years, influence acts such as michael jackson, the spice girls and the beatles, no less , have all performed no less, have all performed here. it's also been used as an air raid shelter in world war ii and burnt to the ground and been

rebuilt. now now it'll have to survive the tough economic conditions as shoppers conditions as many shoppers tighten their belts. >> this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now back to . martin to. martin >> and thank you, tatyana. now we start with the dramatic news coming out of the middle east and the international red cross has confirmed teams has confirmed that its teams have started carrying out a multi day operation to facilitate the release and transfer of hostages held in gaza and of palestinian detainees . gaza and of palestinian detainees. hamas released several hostages after a four day ceasefire with israel came into force. 12 of thai nationals. israeli media has reported that 13 israeli hostages have been transferred to egypt . well, i'm joined now to egypt. well, i'm joined now in the studio by our home and security editor mark white with all of the latest . mark, so all of the latest. mark, so dramatic stuff and we've got

there's an update since you last came in. i think we've got some pictures here. we can show live pictures here. we can show live pictures from the prison. and also, you say there are images from the rafah crossing of red cross believe. yeah from the rafah crossing of red cross seeing believe. yeah from the rafah crossing of red cross seeing belpicturesah how. >> now. >> if you're watching on gb news tel vision that shots of a four vehicle convoy of white red cross four wheel drive vehicles carrying those hostage bodies that have just been released . that have just been released. some rare good news in this bloody conflict across the gaza strip with 12 thai nationals. we understand, and 13 israeli hostages that have been released. and i've seen some other pictures as on i 24 and israeli channel, where you can quite clearly see in the lead two vehicles thai nationals certainly look to me like they're thai citizen gazans. and then in the vehicles behind some women, elderly women with their

grey hair and some children in in there as well. so fantastic news of course, this will be very , very much welcomed across very, very much welcomed across israel and not just israel, but right around the world. as you hear from these thai nationals and other nationals parties that are caught up in this unfolding hostage situation with seven weeks these people have been held in deep tunnel systems underneath the gaza strip . it's underneath the gaza strip. it's a very precarious operation . a very precarious operation. this is day one. we we're expecting if all goes well, many more days of this as the hostages will come out. 13, 14, 15 at a time, whatever it might be on any given day . we're be on any given day. we're expecting this could last some three weeks, as is if all goes according to plan. this truce will last for that period of time as well. and in addition , time as well. and in addition, of course, to the very welcome

departure of the hostages after the ordeal that they have suffered . and there is also then suffered. and there is also then the aid convoys going in to the beleaguered citizens of the gaza strip , 200 trucks a day , we're strip, 200 trucks a day, we're told, are going in already today around about 100 trucks have gonein around about 100 trucks have gone in and they include fuel trucks for the first time to help with the humanity . korean help with the humanity. korean agencies in gaza and the hospitals across the gaza strip as well. 130,000l of fuel each day that this truce lasts. so it's advantageous, of course , to it's advantageous, of course, to both israel and to the people of gaza that this truce lasts for as long as possible . and who as long as possible. and who knows if we get a truce over a long period of time, it might pave the way for something more meaningful in terms of a ceasefire. the only caveat i

would add to that is that in hamas's own words from their senior spokesmen who've been interviewed quite a bit in recent weeks, they continue to talk about wanting to launch more in the way of 7th of october style terrorist attacks on israel . they've never wanted on israel. they've never wanted to negotiate out any kind of peace with israel. they are their goal at the end of the day, their stated goal is to destroy israel , to drive the destroy israel, to drive the israeli population into the sea and to free palestine and not way . so, you know, a lot of that way. so, you know, a lot of that we know is rhetoric , but we've we know is rhetoric, but we've seen how that it's not just rhetoric and it's actually manifested in a very bloody way on the 7th of october and in the weeks since with all these rockets that continue to come over into gaza. and we're also just showing pictures there of the of the prison, the ofer

pfison the of the prison, the ofer prison in israel, the of the prison, the ofer prison in israel , where prison in israel, where palestinian prisoners are expected to be released in exchange for those israeli hostages. >> we believe 39 prisoners are being swapped over. and presumably, mark, those palestinian prisoners are people of significant note of interest , of significant note of interest, perhaps with terrorist links to hamas. and so that's a significant admission to allow those men you'd assume, to be set free, and that may in itself pose a future security risk. but nevertheless, that's part of the deal. deal >> some of them certainly do pose a security risk. they are convicted and or are awaiting trial on some very serious terror charges. there are others , though, amongst them who are really quite young in age and who were arrested and for right . who were arrested and for right. eating, throwing stones at the israeli military and that kind of thing. but no doubt in amongst them are some fairly unsavoury characters as well.

but from israel's point of view, you know, they're holding their nose, martin they are doing what they have to do to achieve the release of their , you know, release of their, you know, their citizens. and we know those israeli nationals are are elderly women, young children, younger women , men. there are younger women, men. there are some is really military in there as well. they may be the last to be released . it is a very be released. it is a very difficult , precarious situation difficult, precarious situation going forward. it will take a lot of delicate negotiation to continue to ensure that all of those, at least 240 hostages are released safely by the end of this . this. >> yeah, we can now show viewers on gb news live pictures from egyptian tv from rafah, hizb ut—tahrir . we are martin ut—tahrir. we are martin daubney. and that looks like is this this is hostages coming out , emergency vehicles, ambulances i >> -- >> yes. so it's the red cross vehicles initially for white

four wheel drive vehicles with the red cross flags in convoy that have come out . they've now that have come out. they've now gone to a medical centre in eqypt gone to a medical centre in egypt on the sinai peninsula, where they are being checked at this centre. and then you have a fleet of ambulances there waiting to take them to a nearby military base where they will be flown out by helicopter to israel for further assessment. both medical and psychologically. and of course , psychologically. and of course, they will have to be debriefed as much as they can by israeli intelligence to try to get as much information as they can on the conditions they were held in, where they were held . the in, where they were held. the you know, how they were treated by hamas when they were underground . and but a very underground. and but a very welcome sight, of course, very encouraged ing to see that they have now crossed over into the

safety of egypt and now it's just a matter of getting them processed, getting them assessed . we don't know what the kind you know, what kind of medical condition or indeed psychological condition they will be in after having been held since the 7th of october. >> and mark, after weeks and weeks of unimaginable horror, the reflection on what happened on october the 7th, what these individuals have been through, as you say , a hugely positive as you say, a hugely positive moment of hope. who knows what they've been through. and i guess that's the next stage . the guess that's the next stage. the medical facilities, the psychologists, they will assess them . they will try and unpack them. they will try and unpack their experience . the their experience. the intelligence services will try and ascertain what they what they they know. and they saw, what they know. and then, of course, they'll be enormous. global media interest in their stories. >> yes. and we saw , of course, >> yes. and we saw, of course, on the 23rd of october when covid lifshitz and nurit cooper were released, two elderly israeli women on the josh howie

was so determined that really within hours of being released and being medically assessed, she wanted to hold a news conference to speak about, well, how she was treated , how she was how she was treated, how she was feeling, how gratified , argued feeling, how gratified, argued for those that had helped achieve her release, but also to express her deep concern , the express her deep concern, the fact that her husband is still being held by hamas. and we don't believe that her husband was among those released today because the information that we're getting is it's women and children that have been released, elderly women and young children that were being held by hamas that have been released. >> how important do you think this is in shifting the dial in terms of the war of words? because until now, there's a huge rhetoric from from benjamin netanyahu about they will not stop until hamas is eradicated, wiped off the surface of the earth, and now this is a very different emotional cadence, isn't it? this is it's like,

yeah, maybe if we if we go for a ceasefire, we can see some hope, a change of pace. and as i understand it, mark, for each ten hostages released, there will additional day of will be an additional day of ceasefire. so could this could this go on for days and days and days? >> yeah, i mean, that's the hope for these initial releases. it's going to be a four day truce . going to be a four day truce. but if hamas, then continue on the path that was set up by these qatari negotiators , that these qatari negotiators, that would mean ten hostages, as in the additional days that followed . now, if you're talking followed. now, if you're talking still about 200 odd being held even after 50 have been released, then we're talking the better part of a month where you could have a cessation in of violence if that truce holds and that can bring about a whole new mindset set in terms of, look , mindset set in terms of, look, you know, from hamas's point of view as well, they've been very badly battered . and we know that badly battered. and we know that by israel and whatever, they're very bellicose rhetoric about

destroying israel and launching more terrorist attacks . at the more terrorist attacks. at the end of the day , they may want to end of the day, they may want to sue for peace as well. >> if i'm mark, i have a breaking news line here. the qatar foreign ministry has confirmed that the release of 39 women and children detained in israeli jails, just to repeat that, the qatar foreign ministry has confirmed the release of 39 women and children detained in israeli jails. women and children detained in israeli jails . so, mark, that's israeli jails. so, mark, that's even more optimistic than we were hoping earlier on today. >> well, no, this is the palestinian that are being held on the west bank. so this is ofer prison in the west bank. it was part of this deal. >> qatar were brokering that deal >> qatar were brokering that deal, of course, to release the palestinians in response. >> so the fact now that these hostages have been released and are safe in egyptian soil means that the 39 palestine unions who were being held in the west bank have been released. so that's

what we were expecting, getting confirmation that that has now happened. and they are a mix of women in some of these women convicted and of some quite serious terror offences and children , teenagers who've been children, teenagers who've been involved , some of them just involved, some of them just involved, some of them just involved in i say just but involved in i say just but involved in i say just but involved in rioting and throwing stones in a like so not high end terrorist by any means, but still , clearly from israel's still, clearly from israel's point , a still, clearly from israel's point, a potential still, clearly from israel's point , a potential security point, a potential security risk. but but the deal that's been brokered is for them to be released and indeed, over the coming four days as at the end of it, it will be about 150 of these palestine libyan prisoners, women and children, mostly that will be released as part of this deal in the exchange for the 50 hostages that we expect over the coming days. and then if we go forward to the other 200 still being held hostage , then three times

held hostage, then three times that number will be released from palestine , then from the from palestine, then from the israeli prisons. >> was it always the case, mark, that the palestinian prisoners were known as women and children? was that public knowledge or. i just assumed that they'd would be kind of no male terrorists . but this is no. male terrorists. but this is no. >> the women and children. but, you know, there are women capable and indeed that have carried out terrorist attacks and failed terrorist attacks. so, you know , there will be so, you know, there will be women and children amongst that lot who, of course, many on the palestinian side will say are not a threat. and they were , you not a threat. and they were, you know, held wrongly by the israelis, but from the israeli perspective, there are people being held there who have been either convicted or are about to start on trial for some quite serious terrorist offences , serious terrorist offences, attempting to attack the israeli military with bombs and petrol

bombs. and that that type of thing. so but look, this is where we are. we've seen this before in terms of israeli hostages who've been released. and then you will get a larger number actually, of palestinians . and sometimes these are palestinian men who are being held on quite serious terror charges . at the moment. it's charges. at the moment. it's women and children, and it looks like the so far then both sides have honoured their pledges. >> so the exchange thus far appears to be smooth. the 39 palestinians have been released and we can see those red cross vehicles there at the rafah crossing on the egyptian side . crossing on the egyptian side. in fact, there look, we can see people . there's an elderly people. there's an elderly woman, look, mark, being walked out. it appears by a red cross medical staff. it appears as the hostage walking out being released on live tv in egypt. >> well, certain certainly someone in the middle as well with face mask on. yeah, but with a face mask on. yeah, but so, mean, it's two so, yeah, i mean, it's two people together. i think that's

an elderly woman being being helped and assisted by perhaps a member of the red cross. and they will go into this centre, as i say , to be assessed. we got as i say, to be assessed. we got some pictures released by the israeli military actually earlier today that showed us inside the centre and what they have , they've set up kind of have, they've set up kind of what they call soft areas to help people sit down and talk to the officials. remember there will be officials there from israeli intelligence as well, who in quick time want to try to glean as much information an as they can about where they've been held, the conditions they've been held, what they were able to tell them about their captors , the other people their captors, the other people that were being held in those tunnels with them. but because there are children there, there's lots of soft toys around them. the israeli key mediators who are effectively reaching out to these released hostages and

they are the conduit back in to normal society for them. again, they've been told just to constantly make eye contact with them, not to go and hug and cuddle the children or if unless it's very, you know, clear that the child wants that kind of tactile response because you just don't know what these poor children have been through over these many weeks down there. and they might be too traumatised to actually want any adult to have physical contact with them at this stage. so it's a very delicate process that we're embarking on now where for these red cross vehicles have arrived, the ambulances are waiting to take them eventually to the helicopter was, i should say, in the helicopters as well. they've all got special noise cancelling headphones just to lessen the trauma of the helicopterjourney trauma of the helicopter journey to central israel to tel aviv, at some children's hospital that the children will be taken to in

eastern tel aviv. as the officials wait outside for that journey to begin . it may be some journey to begin. it may be some time within the centre before they're initially given that first response that first kind of assessment before they're able to move them, it will depend on how these people are reacting and responding and feeling themselves and what they find in terms of their condition, about how quickly they can move them. >> and the reports here of cheers erupting as the red cross cars crossed into egypt from gaza. the recipient is welcoming them on the egyptian side. and as we can see there, mark, being transferred into very high tech ambulances . a great many medical ambulances. a great many medical staff waiting in attendance to give them the care they need and deserve. >> yes . yes. and they will be >> yes. yes. and they will be taken , as i say, initially to taken, as i say, initially to a military base where the egyptian helicopters are waiting and of

course, there are more people than we had initially. and dissipated because we had been told that 13 would be the number being released today. told that 13 would be the number being released today . then being released today. then suddenly we were hit with the news that also 12 thai national have been released in a separate deal. have been released in a separate deal . the israeli release was deal. the israeli release was brokered by the qataris, the thai nationals release has been brokered by the egyptians. so they will have to be dealt with as well. we're also told that the thai nationals will be taken into to israel as well. of course, to be assessed medically . but the military intelligence and the shin bet will want to speak to those thai nationals. they're adults as well. so it's easier to speak to them than potentially , you know, young potentially, you know, young children and maybe very elderly and frail people as well. so so to speak, to those 12 thai nationals to gain as much

information from as many of them as possible about where they may have been held in different areas , in different tunnel areas, in different tunnel systems . what can they tell them systems. what can they tell them about the captors, how they were treated, whether groups of them all together, how long did they have to go through the tunnel systems? we know that yakov lifshitz , when she gave her news lifshitz, when she gave her news conference, said that she was walked for hours through these tunnel systems that were wet . tunnel systems that were wet. she described it on the floor of the tunnel systems themselves as and that's no surprise because as there are hundreds of miles of tunnels that are under the gaza strip, and although now the israeli authorities and the israeli authorities and the israeli military have uncovered quite a few of those tunnel systems , including, by the way, systems, including, by the way, under the al—shifa hospital, the main hospital in the gaza strip, where there has been so much outrage and indignation that the israelis should be anywhere near that hospital so that it was a

purely a medical facility caring for the injured of gaza. well the israelis and indeed the americans said that there was a command and control centre under that hospital. and within the last few days, they are surely slowly but surely in, you know, unearthed more and more of what they see is very much like a command and control centre underneath that hospital. >> and mark, one of the most emotional aspects of all of this, of course, was the in fact, we can see live images. there appears to be another elderly lady being walked away from an ambulance by by a health worker . yeah, she she looks worker. yeah, she she looks steady on her feet. he's helping her dramatically. so this is a hostage being walked away by the looks of it . that must be hostage being walked away by the looks of it. that must be must be the case. yeah >> no, it's a very encouraging thing. image and of course, for those family members as well, that will be watching ing that.

now, the for that woman and the woman before her look very much like the women that i saw in the red cross vehicles that were coming was two of them sat together very distinctive with their grey hair, short, grey hair and yeah, they're being led into this medical facility slowly but on on, on their feet. clearly determined to walk in with the aid of an official there bringing them in. but you can just imagine that across israel and across the world with people who have an interest in this many nationalities , this many nationalities, including british, irish, french, us citizens . and as we french, us citizens. and as we know, thai citizens in there will absolutely be rejoicing at these images. >> incredibly emotional to watch. i mean, that could be anyone's grand, anyone's mum being being helped out of an ambulance there by a health

staff. often the relatives must have given up hope. so many times. and we talk about children being released. mark and one of the most emotional aspects was taking children in cold blood out of israel on october the 7th. and having knows what they've been through and the subsequent time we've seen, we've many seen, we've seen so many emotional press conferences with parents who'd given up hope of their children being alive and these images are incredible . these images are incredible. this is hostages being released in real time. and in many ways, this changes the entire emotional landscape of this conflict. now, it's taken on a very emotional, heart wrenching , very emotional, heart wrenching, very emotional, heart wrenching, very public aspect fact. >> yeah. we should see those kind of conflicting news in terms those of those being released in terms of the thai nationalities , as there was nationalities, as there was a report and this actually came from the thai prime minister

that two of thai nationals had been released. however other reports now suggesting it may be ten thais and one filipino. so right now , this would make sense right now, this would make sense because of the international red cross had said about 45 minutes ago, okay, so i've got breaking news line here, mark. >> qatar, foreign ministry spokesperson, has said those released include 13 israel citizens , some of whom are dual citizens, some of whom are dual citizens, some of whom are dual citizens , in addition to ten citizens, in addition to ten thai citizens and a filipino citizen. so just to repeat that , citizen. so just to repeat that, a qatar foreign ministry spokesman has said those released include 13 israeli citizens, some of whom are dual citizens, some of whom are dual citizens , in addition to ten citizens, in addition to ten thai citizens and a filipino citizen . so echoing what you citizen. so echoing what you just said there, mark. yeah, no, this is exactly what i was telling you. >> ten thais, one filipino, which then makes sense because 45 minutes ago, the

international red cross had said that 24 is the number of hostages that have been released , and that had not made sense to a lot of people because with 12 thais and 13 israelis, that's 25. so the fact that that number of thais has been revised down to ten thai nationals and one filipino national makes a lot of sense. and here we've got another. it looks like an elderly female. that's that's been taken out. they're being helped by two people, one on either side of her being taken out towards the medical centre as well. i mean , you know, it's as well. i mean, you know, it's heartening, but it's also heartbreaking to see such elderly , vulnerable people who elderly, vulnerable people who must have been through such horrors as in recent weeks , horrors as in recent weeks, abducted in the most violent way by these hamas terrorists. we

saw people were shot dead. that's right. massacre in front of them. >> and when we saw those images on october the 7th, when the hamas were broadcasting those images themselves, the video footage social media of footage on social media of pensioners , of women, of pensioners, of women, of children being abducted, mark, it was images that horrified wide the world. and now here we are seeing some of them at least being walked out of ambulances to safety in egypt . to safety in egypt. >> yeah, no, it is just we've had raw relentlessly and i spent a few weeks in israel just day after day of the most horrific of news that has come through about the strikes on gaza . the about the strikes on gaza. the death toll on the israeli citizens who were caught up in this on the 7th of october. the toll on the israeli forces going into gaza as well . so to get a into gaza as well. so to get a day like today with actually good news to report in this

conflict is tremendous . and we conflict is tremendous. and we can only hope that this day pays paves the way for the continuation of the hostage release process with the remainder of the 53 initial hostages going to be released and then hopefully that snowballing on to the 200 or so still being held as well. >> and mark haven't spent that time in tel aviv in israel. you were on the border of gaza. you've been around a lot of israeli people. how will this news be received by them? because you've spent time with them. you've got into the emotional side of this and those kidnapped posters, those missing person posters, they took on a huge part of this war of information, these kinds of images, the hope, the joy of this. how would that be received in israel by the people you met? >> it would be celebrated without a doubt. you know, there's been a lot of anguish

and heartache and criticism of the government and the intelligence services on the intelligence services on the intelligence that was missed in the run up to october the 7th. the request is for the israeli government that will still have to be answered in the weeks and months ahead. but for the israeli population , they've been israeli population, they've been deeply, deeply traumatised by the horrific attacks on the 7th of october, which left more than 1200 of their fellow citizens murdered. hundreds more of them injured in the most appalling of manners . and then, of course, manners. and then, of course, realising that as a nation they are at war. many of the population have been called up because they're reservists to go into gaza to try to deal with hamas. so days like today will be very, very welcome. we've

seen, you know , day after day in seen, you know, day after day in central tel aviv of hundreds, thousands of people turn up into the main square where there is makeshift shrines around there to those who have died, to those who have been taken hostage, she said. the posters that are all around tel aviv as well, um, they you know, there is no doubt they you know, there is no doubt the people of israel will be celebrating, but it will also be tempered by the knowledge that this is only a tiny proportion of those who hamas are holding politically . politically. >> will things change now? there have been a lot of calls for ceasefires, of course. united nations, the international community party at home, the labour party, the snp. if we can see so very clearly the impacts, the fruits, if you like, of at least a temporary ceasefire with dramatic imagery like this of elder lee, the frail , the elder lee, the frail, the infirm, and later on, no doubt

children being released if a ceasefire looks like this, will the pressure mount for more of this ? this? >> well, look, you've got the very public political rhetoric of israel's leaders who are determined to show all their resolve that they are going to go after hamas and they are going to ensure that hamas no longer pulls is a threat to israel . we citizens across the israel. we citizens across the country and you know , they still country and you know, they still do as early or as late as this morning, they were still firing rockets into communities around the gaza strip . tel aviv has the gaza strip. tel aviv has come under its biggest bombardment since the 7th of october, just in the last week. there's still a very significant capability that hamas has and a determination that hamas has to still go after israel's civilian population . so while that is the

population. so while that is the case, as we're seeing, it looks like some very young people actually being led from that building into towards the coaches. building into towards the coaches . so yes, some very young coaches. so yes, some very young children there . children there. >> there are women and children. and there's another elderly lady being taken in that child looks about seven, eight, nine years old. daughter. old. it could be my daughter. wow amazing. another elderly lady, they're being brought out. he seems to be walking well, though they seem to be steady on their feet. you know, don't their feet. you know, they don't seem not physically seem they're not physically injured, at least these ones we can well we'll be very can see here. well we'll be very interesting to hear from them about conditions that they about the conditions that they were held in. >> and , you know, how how they >> and, you know, how how they were treated and fed and looked after if they were here. but it's very encouraging , as you it's very encouraging, as you say, that they are on their feet there and it's also interesting that they're getting into a bus here. now, it may well be that those that are a bit more frail ,

those that are a bit more frail, that have suffered a bit more , that have suffered a bit more, will go on to a bus. it's also listen, it's also possible that these are family members . yes. these are family members. yes. i'm just not 100% sure. so i don't want to mislead our audience . but it it looks as audience. but it it looks as though they may have been the hostages or some of the hostages going on to the bus there rather than enter the ambulances. there seem to be what would appear to be they would fit the remit of a bunch of types, people. >> they're moving single file towards that coach. yeah yeah. >> but and although there was a few there that was probably maybe about 15. yeah and we know of course that 24 people have been released, so it's possible some of the more frail , those in some of the more frail, those in perhaps a worse condition will be placed into the ambulances . be placed into the ambulances. maybe the ambulances are just there on, you know, on standby as a container agency in case

people did require that kind of medical transport and not just in the back of a bus. medical transport and not just in the back of a bus . and so in the back of a bus. and so more people just coming out there. another woman , again, there. another woman, again, she's moving unaided and. yeah. and i think the fact that some of them clearly have blankets wrapped around them would tend to me to indicate that, yes, they're hostage rather than, you know, family members . i also know, family members. i also let's put it this way, i don't think family members would necessarily be there at that stage . they wouldn't know. this stage. they wouldn't know. this is the handover into the centre where it's the medical staff assessing them, the intelligence services trying to just have some initial conversations with those that have been released out. so not necessarily the families. that's probably any family members are going to be waiting on the israeli side when they get there . you were saying they get there. you were saying before about where we go from

here. and i was saying, look, we've got the situation where israel is still been coming under daily attack from these hamas rockets. they have the capability. they have the determined nation. it seems to continue view to target israel's population , civilian population population, civilian population centres . so while that's the centres. so while that's the case in israel, centres. so while that's the case in israel , perceives centres. so while that's the case in israel, perceives hamas as a threat, then despite the imperative at the moment to get the hostages released at the end of that process , i think it's of that process, i think it's likely that there will be a resumption in in some form of the military action unless we get some kind of commitment and guarantees. it can be brokered by the likes of qatar that that's it. as far as hamas is concerned. and but hamas would have to refrain from all of the bellicose rhetoric that we've seen from its leaders in recent weeks where and we know a lot of it is playing to their audience, but they would have to give that

commitment that this is at an end that they are not going to target israel and any more for israel to in any way consider for a cessation of permanent cessation of their military operation. yeah and if you're just joining us now, it's worth a quick recap. >> hostages have been released from gaza into egypt through the rafah crossing . 13 israeli rafah crossing. 13 israeli citizens , ten thai citizens and citizens, ten thai citizens and a filipino citizen. relief we've seen live images. what very much appears to be those hostages . appears to be those hostages. they now are on a bus leaving this medical compound , mark. and this medical compound, mark. and you said they are now going towards an air base and they'll be taken back to israel, is that correct? >> that's right. they'll be flown by helicopter to israel. it's clear they've had some kind of initial assessment at this facility. they were taken to in egypt. and thanks to our colleagues in egyptian television for these remarkable images, amazing aerial, high

shots, low shots, incredible footage of the very heartening scene of the release of these hostages. and it looked to me, martin, that those going on board the bus was as near as, dammit, the 24 it did , that we dammit, the 24 it did, that we would have considered for the release here. and amongst them were some very elderly people , were some very elderly people, some very young children, as well, clearly. and people that looked either to be thai or filipino as well that were going in there. so there are some ambulance is moving now as well behind that bus . but it seems behind that bus. but it seems the vast majority of the people seem to be aboard that bus, which in itself is very encouraging. martin it means that they are in good enough physical condition that they don't require that kind of

emergency transport in ambulances. >> that's right . they were >> that's right. they were walking into nearly unaided. they were on their feet. covid of the elderly ladies, as you'd imagine, were being they had an arm to lean on. but they looked in good health from what we could see. >> yeah. which given that they have been held in captivity since the 7th of october, there is remarkable. but we don't know how the way that they have been treated by hamas , the food that treated by hamas, the food that they have been given or denied aid, the medical especially for some of the elderly people there may have had medication required medication. we know from yakov lifshitz, who i was talking about, the hostage that was released on the 23rd of october, she said. martin that she was actually given in regular sort of medical assessments. a doctor was brought down into the tunnel

system to see her every 2 or 3 days as she was given her medication as well. so, you know, they have a fairly sophisticated setup , hamas, but sophisticated setup, hamas, but you've also got to ask yourself , you've also got to ask yourself, you've also got to ask yourself, you know, with doctors going down into this tunnel system , down into this tunnel system, you know, where are these doctors coming from? what medical facilities , what did medical facilities, what did they know about the sort of where these hostages were being held? and, you know , i'm not held? and, you know, i'm not saying they were complicit in it. they were probably be blindfolded and taken down there anyway. but at least it's encouraging . it seems that encouraging. it seems that medical attention was was offered to one of the hostages , offered to one of the hostages, isaac levido, as i say, who said that. so we can hope that that has been the case for quite a lot. and presumably the hostages, presumably more, nobody would know who was on that on those buses coming out. >> so maybe the relatives were

finding out. you can imagine the entire nation scanning the faces of the people coming out of those buses is that somebody i know? is that a relative of mine we just saw in real time , really we just saw in real time, really high quality, close up footage of a real time hostage release ? yes. >> yeah. i mean, what we can see is that actually the families will know the families of those being released were informed by the israeli government that that their loved ones were being released today . wow. others who released today. wow. others who were not informed, obviously , were not informed, obviously, then were having to deal with then were having to deal with the realisation that their loved ones are still in captivity. hope hopefully will be released in the coming days, but no guarantee of that at all. so the families won't have got a shock

by seeing the images on live television. they will have known, they will have been very encouraged to see their loved ones walk off. >> wow, astonishing images. thank you, marc white, for that comprehensive commentary on what is an astonishing moment, comprehensive commentary on what is an astonishing moment , the is an astonishing moment, the hostages being released, 13 israelis, ten ties, one filipino fan tastic israelis, ten ties, one filipino fantastic imagery from israelis, ten ties, one filipino fan tastic imagery from egyptian fantastic imagery from egyptian tv there in real time. and after many, many weeks of desperate messaging, a moment of real hope.thank messaging, a moment of real hope. thank you, marc white. and of course, we'll bring you more on that story throughout the show as no doubt it emerges now moving on to another story to the fallout from last night's riots in dublin . and the riots in dublin. and the repubuc riots in dublin. and the republic of ireland's premier says the hundreds of people involved in violent scenes brought shame onto their country. 34 people were arrested

in riots that saw buses and trams burned and shops looted and several police vehicles damaged . the sinn fein leader, damaged. the sinn fein leader, mary lou mcdonald, has called on the irish justice minister and garda commissioner to resign, saying there had been an unacceptable failure to keep people safe. yesterday evening the violence was triggered by a knife attack on three schoolchildren and their care assistant outside a school in the city centre yesterday lunchtime. well, let's cross now to dublin and speak to our reporter doherty. reporter dougie beattie doherty. dougie, tragic dougie, yesterday is tragic incident the school incident outside the school became then the powder keg moment two riots which kind of went hours in dublin. went on for hours in dublin. huge done. what's the huge damage done. what's the fallout been overnight what. >> well i'm standing actually just off o'connell street. and you can see behind me here, this is one of the hotels and it's got no windows in the bottom of it. they're all boarded up. last night it was attacked quite

badly, but this has been boiling under just badly, but this has been boiling underjust under the surface under just under the surface probably for about the last 24 months. the north dublin is where you will find the real dubun where you will find the real dublin folk, if you like. it is a an area of dublin that would have had many manual workers in it over the years . and they of it over the years. and they of course have their own communities now over these this last few years, those communities have had many migrants put into place there, including migrant centres , including migrant centres, etcetera. and there has been quite a lot of opposition to it that we've just heard in the last while or two that there is another protest scheduled for tonight in the gpo just across the road from me here. and one of my colleagues that was travelling back north has

informed me that the psni is water cannon are on their way in just outside dublin . so we can just outside dublin. so we can only imagine that. drew harris , only imagine that. drew harris, the ex, the current chief constable of the garda siochana , constable of the garda siochana, who was also the ex deputy chief constable of the psni , has used constable of the psni, has used his contacts to acquire those water cannon and there is quite a lot of garda riot squad in and around this area at this minute in time. there's also a lot of youths starting to gather in around this area. so tonight could be a night where either the guards are going to clamp down extremely hard. i would imagine that they're not going to let the same amount of people gather in this city. but but it is looking slightly ominous at this point that things might start to kick off again tonight. i would imagine it will be smaller skirmishes because of the amount of presence of police that are currently here. but it is it is a really a picture of

what is happening not just in ireland, but the whole way across the uk and indeed europe. many of the people that were born and reared here really do feel that they are being left behind political feel that they are being left behind todayyolitical feel that they are being left behind today coming the comments today coming from the taoiseach , leo varadkar, you can taoiseach, leo varadkar, you can understand he's coming understand where he's coming from. he from. you can see that he doesn't jewel in the doesn't want the jewel in the crown ireland, dublin city. crown of ireland, dublin city. he want it destroyed. he doesn't want it destroyed. and financial process that and the financial process that will have come to in bring will have to come to in bring this will only this back together will only tell on the taxpayers of ireland. so at this minute in time, ireland is time, politics in ireland is really somewhat flux in really in somewhat of a flux in the hour period. the last, last 24 hour period. as miriam lou as you've said, miriam lou mcdonald in course, mcdonald wedding in of course, she's fein she's the leader of sinn fein and look and they she is due. if you look at be the next at the polls, to be the next shock ireland. so really what shock of ireland. so really what will happen in the next 24 hours here dublin may change here in dublin may well change for little while . for politics a little while. >> dougie, how how >> and dougie, how how instructive think instructive do you think the comments have instructive do you think the comntoday have instructive do you think the comntoday slammed have instructive do you think the comntoday slammed wing have instructive do you think the comntoday slammed wing thee been today slammed wing the protesters last night, calling them ? your them cowardly chaplains? your angen anger, your hate, and how you blame others for your problems was his ire. was the target of his his ire. will you to calm will that help you think to calm things down or will it help to inflame ahead tonight's inflame ahead of tonight's protest . protest. >> well, i think leo varadkar's

comments will probably he is a politician and at the end of the day, he is the prime minister of this country. he is trying to do his best for it. but like as i've said, the whole way i've crossed at this moment in crossed europe at this moment in time, this problem is, is coming to again and again. to the fore again and again. and, know, they will to and, you know, they will have to do how his comments do something. how his comments play do something. how his comments play i'm play out this evening, i'm not too sure he's entitled to his opinion, as are the protest leaders here. and if they protest peacefully , well, then protest peacefully, well, then there should be no problem. but but they really have to look now at the problems that these communities are looking at and why they are unhappy . they are why they are unhappy. they are living in a very vibrant, modern european city. you would have to wonder what the problems are and you'll only find that out by talking to them. and of course, we have been down here. we've been talking to both sides that are that are in amongst this particular or particular process . but someone will have to listen at some time and take on

board what's being said . board what's being said. >> okay, dougie beattie thanks for that update from dublin. and a night of protest ahead and the water cannon are now being sent in. we'll make sure we keep it on story throughout the on that story throughout the evening now, evening for you on gb news. now, more now from the controversial book written by harry and meghan's biographer , omid scobie meghan's biographer, omid scobie claims king charles was in claims that king charles was in tears because he was worried about prince andrew's mental health following the jeffrey epstein scandal. scobie also says it was prince william more than any of the other senior royals who wanted andrew to be marginalised. the author claims william is colder than his father. well, i'm joined now by the former bbc royal correspondent, the resplendent jennie bond. jenny is always a fan tastic pleasure to see you.

fantastic pleasure to see you. so this book end game by scobie is causing endless problems for the royals, isn't it ? the royals, isn't it? >> yes, it's already being described as a bombshell . described as a bombshell. >> well, with all sorts of explosive allegations, i really don't think it is. >> i haven't actually read anything that surprised me at all so far. >> you talk about charles being allegedly in tears over andrew's mental health. >> well, charles is a softy . >> well, charles is a softy. >> well, charles is a softy. >> he's always been a very sentimental sort of guy. and andrew is his little brother. >> and i don't think that charles is without feelings. but how much he really broke down in tears. i think is unlikely to be

true. i think probably that's exaggerated. i mean, you know, charles had his 75th birthday party last week at clarence house. >> and although we don't have confirmation of exactly who was there , there is no indication there, there is no indication whatsoever that andrew was ianed whatsoever that andrew was invited amongst this small group of relatives who were there. so i'm not quite sure how close they are. so basically haven't seen much in this book that surprises me. >> and the thing about this book, jenny, of course, scobie, is the sussexes lead cheerleader anyhow. so how much of this do you think is true and how much of needs of it you think needs a substantial pinch sodium chloride? >> well, omid is very, very hot on is he on the fact that this is not he says . this says i'm not meg's pal. this isn't and isn't to do with harry and meghan their is only meghan. their story is only a small this book, which meghan. their story is only a sncuriously this book, which meghan. their story is only a sncuriously called book, which meghan. their story is only a sncuriously called end , which meghan. their story is only a sncuriously called end game1 meghan. their story is only a sncuriously called end game . i is curiously called end game. i mean, i don't know if in it because we haven't seen the full book is he predicting the book yet. is he predicting the end of the monarchy? i'm not quite sure. i we learn end of the monarchy? i'm not quitemeghan we learn end of the monarchy? i'm not quitemeghan was we learn end of the monarchy? i'm not quitemeghan was unhappy rn end of the monarchy? i'm not quitemeghan was unhappy in the that meghan was unhappy in the uk and has no intention of

setting foot in the uk again. apparently setting foot in the uk again. apparen'that didn't to setting foot in the uk again. appcoronation, didn't to setting foot in the uk again. appcoronation, not dn't to setting foot in the uk again. appcoronation, not dn't because the coronation, not only because it was archie's fourth birthday, but because she didn't want to step back into what she regards as royal as the soap opera of the royal family. have their soap meghan have got their own soap opera going on. actually, to be truthful. in but it's bombshells in this, but it's routinelypublicity purposes. such for publicity purposes. i'm sure the revelation >> and jenny, the revelation that his that william is colder than his father help mean, he's father won't help. i mean, he's always his always been very open about his feelings. always been very open about his feelirwith mental health work with mental health charity for william have >> yeah. the william i have known he's known is not cold, but he's tough he's stubborn , and i tough and he's stubborn, and i think tough and think he's had to be tough and very now being alone very focussed. now being alone without brother's support, without his brother's support, him and him without his wingman and i think probably he is the tough one of that generation of royals. that's how royals. but that's that's how he's got to and he's got to be. and i don't think it's any bad thing. >> think there'll >> and do you think there'll be anything left in this book? i mean, seems most been mean, it seems most of it's been leaked it's leaked to the press before. it's even out. >> ever e ever wasn't w.- e ever wasn't it ? >> it twas ever thus, wasn't it? um, want to diss um, look, i don't want to diss omid. he's a he's a journalist. he's a royal reporter. and maybe he does have great contacts, but he's quoted as writing that a close friend of catherine of kate had had told him that catherine had been hadn't got on with meghan . i mean, look, a with meghan. i mean, look, a close friend of catherine was neven close friend of catherine was never, ever going to speak to

of these steps, recognise that this will in itself start to bnng this will in itself start to bring the level of migration down. but there is more to be done and a familiar face is returning to london's oxford street as music shop hmv reopens its doors . its doors. >> the historic retailer returns today after a four year absence reclaiming its old flagship location in what's hoped to be a boost for the popular shopping strip. gb news reporter ray addison, is there . addison, is there. >> he's returned to profit means that new owner , doug putnam, has that new owner, doug putnam, has been able to reopen the brand's flagship store for years after it shut down here on oxford street. he's going to be hoping that it can once again become a mainstay of the high street. now, over the years , influential now, over the years, influential acts such as michael jackson, the girls and the beatles. the spice girls and the beatles. no all performed no less, have all performed here. it's also been used as an air raid shelter in world war ii and burnt to the ground and been rebuilt. now it will have to survive the tough economic conditions as many shoppers tighten their belts .

tighten their belts. >> this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now back to . to. martin >> thank you, tatiana . well, we >> thank you, tatiana. well, we start in the middle east where several hostages have been released by hamas as part of a ceasefire deal. the international red cross has confirmed that its teams have started carrying out a multi day operation to facilitate the release and transfer of hostages

held in gaza. and of palestinian detainees . so far, the agency detainees. so far, the agency has confirmed that 24 hostages have been released while major general chip chapman, former head of counter—terrorism at the ministry of defence, joins me now. chip always a pleasure to see you on the show. thank you for joining us. you may have forjoining us. you may have seen those dramatic images of hostages being brought from gaza through the rafah crossing into eqypt through the rafah crossing into egypt. through the rafah crossing into egypt . incredible through the rafah crossing into egypt. incredible images of hostages being assisted into

vehicles this marks a hugely positive breakthrough in what's been a very , very bleak few been a very, very bleak few weeks. doesn't it ? weeks. doesn't it? >> well, it's non—combatant immunity should persist in any kind of war. that is that the old the sick, the young and the infirm should be spared from war. so this is really conflict. pause a humanitarian pause. it is not peace. it is not conflict termination. it is not conflict resolution. and it's certainly not going to be conflict reconciliation , action, it reconciliation, action, but it does space things does give some space for things to in future. you to happen in the future. you know, is always better know, george is always better than and course, than war. war and of course, there are three groups we're really of really looking at here of hostages. these hostages. the first one is these israeli and children. israeli women and children. some have today. the have been released today. the second those foreign second is those foreign nationals heard that nationals and we've heard that ten ties and one filipino have been released . and that's been released. and that's important there are important because there are significant thousands significant number of thousands of in of thai contract workers in israel, and 31 were israel, and 31 of them were murdered on the 7th of october. but the last one is the group of israeli the israeli soldiers. that is the real the hamas israeli soldiers. that is the retthe the hamas israeli soldiers. that is the retthe end the hamas israeli soldiers. that is the retthe end , the hamas israeli soldiers. that is the retthe end , because hamas in the end, because historically, we recall that

gilad one israeli gilad shalit, one israeli soldier, was exchanged ultimately for 1000 palestinian prisoners . so it's good in terms prisoners. so it's good in terms of confidence building measures. it doesn't mean that there's a breakthrough in terms of a better peace for either side, because the israeli operational objectives, which do include releasing hostages, are still there. first one that there. and the first one that comes that is to comes after that is to annihilate hamas in ethical combat, their combat, that is, destroy their military capability for the future. is irrefutable future. so that is irrefutable that they can't come and that they can't come back and rule chip , how rule gaza and chip, how significant part of significant is it that part of the of this was the the counter deal of this was the release of 39 palestinians was held in israeli prisons and now presumably they're in prison for a good reason, and that is they represent a threat to the israeli state. >> so what kind of increase risk do you think releasing those people may entail? >> well, there's always going to be a quid pro quo in negotiation nations. and again, i don't think there's essentially that much risk from these people because, again, they are mostly, much risk from these people bthink,e, again, they are mostly, much risk from these people bthink, women they are mostly, much risk from these people bthink, women theychildren;tly, much risk from these people bthink, women theychildren now , i think, women and children now, the risk comes you get to the risk comes when you get to the risk comes when you get to the real denouement of the to the real denouement of exchanging israeli soldiers

exchanging the israeli soldiers for those real long term terrorist operatives who are in israeli prisons. that becomes the really key factor at the end of the day and really , there's of the day and really, there's three things that the israelis seek to do , of course, and one seek to do, of course, and one is that any of their losses must be acceptable in military terms. but the second one is that all their operations must be acceptable to the home front . acceptable to the home front. and the home front really demands in israel that they do everything they can to release the hostages. so there's always going to have to be this quid pro quo, a trade off between what is happening between one side and the other. people won't necessarily like that , but necessarily like that, but that's just the reality of how these negotiations take place . these negotiations take place. >> and we've spoken before about the ceasefire gives hamas an opportunity to regroup and maybe to launch counter offensive. of

course , during the exchange of course, during the exchange of hostages. that's all dependent upon there, not being a resumption of hostilities low level operatives to fight , fight the operatives to fight, fight the war. now, that isn't the only capability, of course, for the israelis . and in their 2021 israelis. and in their 2021 fight against palestinian islamic jihad in gaza , it was islamic jihad in gaza, it was the utilisation of their space power allied to machine learning and super computing, which gave them the ability to target hamas. so you don't necessarily need aerial surveillance from drones or aircraft . and indeed, drones or aircraft. and indeed, that was called the first artificial intelligence war. >> okay, chip chapman, thank you

for joining us once again on gb forjoining us once again on gb news. always a pleasure. now let's cross live now to tel aviv , where we are joined by a former member of the israeli parliament, dr. einat wilf. thank you for joining parliament, dr. einat wilf. thank you forjoining us. dr. thank you for joining us. dr. wilf, superb news for israel. a very, very emotion . a moment very, very emotion. a moment those images of israeli people, hostages being freed and taken onto ambulances must be a joyous moment for the israeli public after many weeks of bleak news.

>> it's actually a moment of deeply . in >> it's actually a moment of deeply. in what world is it okay to just kidnap children and grandmothers and mothers from their bed in a saturday morning and keep them as bargaining chips for 47, 50 days? so we're thrilled to. see 13 people be released. but we know how many more are still

held there. and we're shocked that people even expect that there should be a negotiation of their release rather than just a clear demand that they be released . released. >> yeah, dr. wilf, the images , >> yeah, dr. wilf, the images, particularly of elderly and children and women being taken hostage by hamas who so brazenly displayed that imagery on social media, horrified wide and shocked the world. but there has been huge pressure from the international community for a ceasefire . the un and lots of ceasefire. the un and lots of political organisations worldwide and people might say today if a ceasefire looks like

this, or at least a temporary ceasefire looks like this, there'll be more pressure for a continuation of it. but of course benjamin netanyahu has made it clear he will not stop short until hamas is eradicated . short until hamas is eradicated. what's the route forward ? what's the route forward? >> it's important to understand that it's israel is themselves even more than the prime minister, who are in many ways concerned that by the calls of the world for a ceasefire without making the demand rounds of what will end the war for. because with all due respect to the secretary general of the un, senior politicians, they're not beauty queens saying that they want world peace. they can't just say we want a ceasefire they need to be serious people who say release all the hostages immediately. uncondemned missionally, disarm hamas ,

missionally, disarm hamas, destroy the tunnels. so repeatedly said on october 6th, we had a ceasefire. they used a previous ceasefire in order to plan the butchery of october 7th. there is nothing in their declaration actions which were that october seventh will be repeated again and again and again until all the jews are dead or gone . there's nothing in dead or gone. there's nothing in their declarations to lead to us think that there is any change of heart. so it's not something that i suspect is something that is guaranteed. they will use the time to continue planning more

attacks . they are as committed attacks. they are as committed as ever not to their people, not to building the gaza strip as a prosperous place , but to the prosperous place, but to the destructive ideals that it's more important for them that the jews will not be sovereign in any part next to them . they any part next to them. they don't want to build a state for themselves next to israel. they want whatever they want. they first want to make sure that there is no israel. >> okay . dr. anna sewell, former >> okay. dr. anna sewell, former member of the israeli parliament, thank you very much for joining us today on gb news. forjoining us today on gb news. much, much appreciated . now much, much appreciated. now moving on to the fallout .

have to go back to work. and even physically even if they're physically disabled, even if they're physically disworki, home. know, to work from home. you know, it was a very, very old style tory hard core, as you say, wedge issue, for issue, and yet they've gone for this when they as i said, they voted against the minimum wage. >> against uprating >> they voted against uprating benefits in line with the three different quite >> i find it quite extraordinary. almost if extraordinary. it's almost as if they've kind of given up already, but it's what slightly concerns that concerns me about this is that i think there is some some good stuff yeah and think think there is some some good stlsome yeah and think think there is some some good stlsome ways yeah and think think there is some some good stlsome ways yearbeen think think there is some some good stlsome ways yearbeen given< in some ways he's been given a wee headroom by wee bit of fiscal headroom by the than anticipated the higher than anticipated receipts. but the problem is our debt ratio , the amount debt to gdp ratio, the amount of money the money we owe compared to the amount money we owe compared to the amocountry, about level this country, it's about level pegging this country, it's about level peythe g of production. as the total of our production. >> think any of this will >> do you think any of this will be keir starmer be enough to give keir starmer sleepless will the sleepless nights or will the labour party feel this is a slight bump, you know, a bit of a dead cap and it will go down. >> you've been around a long time. a point poll time. does a four point poll bump mean anything? >> it means nothing unless. unless it's repeated by the five big companies and it's big polling companies and it's in double figures. means in double figures. it means nothing. it's point. nothing. it's a four point. that's have to that's ridiculous. but i have to say, one thing that we that's ridiculous. but i have to saybrilliantlyne thing that we that's ridiculous. but i have to saybrilliantly in thing that we that's ridiculous. but i have to saybrilliantly in theig that we that's ridiculous. but i have to saybrilliantly in the labourne do brilliantly in the labour party, and that is lose party, and that is we lose elections, we've got form, we're damn good at it. and so if anyone but anyone can snatch defeat, but i think this case you'd have to think in this case you'd have to be houdini to escape the jaws of

the electorate that the tories are facing at the moment. but the labour party by and large stands back looks on in stands back and looks on in horror. but the funny thing is, i i'm a labour person, but i mean, i'm a labour person, but i'm first and i never i'm a patriot first and i never forget the advice that were forget the advice that we were always in the early days always given in the early days in put your in politics. you put your country constituency country first, your constituency second and your party third. and for party's point of view, for my party's point of view, this is good news from the country's view. i think country's point of view. i think the overhang now the debt overhang is now terrifying. think are terrifying. and i think we are facing a very, very serious financial situation. >> in a nutshell , financial situation. >> in a nutshell, can financial situation. >> in a nutshell , can the >> and in a nutshell, can the tories this around or is it tories turn this around or is it simply far gone in a two simply too far gone in a two horse race? >> you know, you'd think, you know, it's becoming increasingly 3 or 4 horse race now. >> but the reality is i don't think they can not in time think they can not in the time they've got. they've got to go to by end of to the country by the end of next year. >> not long. okay. >> that's not long. okay. >> that's not long. okay. >> stephen pound, thank for >> stephen pound, thank you for joining also great tie joining us. and also great tie clip. mine today. clip. i forgot mine today. >> it's a tribute to >> very nice. it's a tribute to you, martin. >> you, you, martin. » you, >> thank you, stephen pan. so there's lots more to come between now and 6:00, including our discuss what a crackdown on visas for foreign workers could

after yesterday's record net migration figures . they revealed migration figures. they revealed that the population of the uk increased by almost three quarters of a million last year. suella braverman said the figures were a slap in the face to the british public. well, i'm joined now by our political edhon joined now by our political editor, christopher hope. chris so jacob rees—mogg issued a dramatic apology last night on gb news saying, i'm sorry for failing to hit immigration targets. the new conservatives say it's do or die . each of us say it's do or die. each of us made a promise to the electorate and we don't believe that such promises can be ignored. the telegraph today, one of your columnist, allison pearson , said columnist, allison pearson, said the of the british the betrayal of the british people is complete. the conservative party conservative voters tear themselves apart over this apology is overdue for the tory party. >> they they of course, the party put into power almost on the of that vote in the back of that brexit vote in 2016. referendum . and the 2016. in the referendum. and the big landslide in 19 was built on that referendum to control our borders and laws . they borders and our laws. they haven't borders. haven't control our borders. i

mean, the difficult mean, forget the difficult situation stop the boats. situation with stop the boats. yeah, the boats across the channel. this is on their watch andifs channel. this is on their watch and it's through the front door, not through the campfire. yeah. not not the cat flap. the cat flap is small boats. the front door wide open in they come, numbers up. 1.2 million in 2 years. now, what's interesting right now, breaking this hour is an article here from boris johnson, the former prime minister. he's written in the daily mail saying these numbers are way, way too big, to which i would add, well, they happen on your boris but let's your watch, boris, but let's move that way too move on from that way, way too big. will not accept big. people will not accept demographic change at this kind of pace, says, look what's of pace, he says, look what's happening in dublin, johnson says. happening in dublin, johnson says . well, that lovely and says. well, that lovely and happy city is engulfed by race riots or seems to be engulfed by race riots. boris johnson tonight, he's saying the whole point brexit is that we have point of brexit is that we have we we what we we are not. we can do what we like. have the powers to sort like. we have the powers to sort out. that's so out. and that's what's so irritating for a of people out. and that's what's so irritévoted)r a of people out. and that's what's so irritévoted tory of people out. and that's what's so irritévoted tory back people out. and that's what's so irritévoted tory back in ople out. and that's what's so irritévoted tory back in the back who voted tory back in the back in 19. you have the powers sort it out now. johnson's idea here

is to lift the income needed to get a visa from around £26,000 a year to £40,000 a year to cut off, to stop allowing so many to come through. i also know that what is in the offing in government is some movement on dependence. so you're not going to allow to bring in so many family members with your visa in future . future. >> i mean, because that was a huge part yesterday. student visas, 378,000, made up 58,000, plus 96,000 dependents. a lot of people saying, chris, this is being abused as a way of buying your way into britain. and 65% of those students are now staying on. another thing , as staying on. another thing, as you mentioned, there was skilled laboun you mentioned, there was skilled labour, which brings us on to the question of nhs workers. yeah, so another issue where it's kicked off. if you raise that threshold to 45,000, that will get rid of a lot of those nurses that were currently importing nigeria, from importing from nigeria, from india , from philippines. and india, from the philippines. and so all the next so therefore all the next argument is can the nhs function without that ? and if not, why

without that? and if not, why aren't we training our own british nurses? >> well, why aren't we? and it goes this age old debate goes back to this age old debate in politics. british jobs for british workers kicked british workers is kicked off by gordon late gordon brown in the late noughties, winning further in this article boris this article by by boris johnson. says, wonder so johnson. he says, no wonder so many millions of brits are sky ing benefits or sick pay and ing on benefits or sick pay and won't take those jobs. and which all depend language is getting stronger. you know , skiving is stronger. you know, skiving is a real is a real dog whistle. it is used here by boris johnson in the daily mail in tomorrow's newspaper. people won't like that. but i think there's a feeling on the right of the tory party to start cracking down on this number because it's too big and not acceptable have and it's not acceptable to have 5 people benefits who 5 million people on benefits who aren't at work then tackle that number. they didn't they? number. they tried, didn't they? in the in the autumn statement this mel stride, work in the in the autumn statement this pensionsel stride, work in the in the autumn statement this pensions secretary, work in the in the autumn statement this pensions secretary, is work and pensions secretary, is trying measures work trying to do measures to work from you want benefits, from home. if you want benefits, you might lose your bus pass but it's maybe not as it's quite it's maybe not as strong as some tory mps want it to be. >> but then it the question >> but then it begs the question to 6 million on long term to point 6 million on long term disability that's doubled to point 6 million on long term

disab the that's doubled to point 6 million on long term disab the pandemic s doubled to point 6 million on long term disab the pandemic. doubled to point 6 million on long term disab the pandemic . yet|bled to point 6 million on long term disab the pandemic . yet thei to point 6 million on long term disab the pandemic . yet the four since the pandemic. yet the four point poll bump we've seen the tories land today is because they're saying let's have bigger benefits, let's increase the minimum wage. so it seems like the more socialist, the more labour policies are landing. well, boris calling people skivers, it might not land well with the middle ground. >> it may not. and that balance could also be because because of the tax cuts and indication of future future tax cuts to come. i mean, it was a good, you know, the by the minimum wage went up by a pound we saw the increase pound or so. we saw the increase in the state pension in benefits to using the higher level from september rate, not september inflation rate, not october. so perhaps that might. yeah, but someone's got to pay for somehow. mean, this for this somehow. i mean, this situation feel tenable . situation does not feel tenable. the one good thing the tories have going themselves is have got going for themselves is that have better that labour have no better answer. labour's answer is, well, stop the boats. is it well, i'll stop the boats. is it may be just have quotas of migrants passed around migrants being passed around europe. possibly. but there's no answer on net migration answer on the net migration figure . companies love the figure. companies love it. the treasury it for growth. it treasury like it for growth. it puts pressure on puts a lot of pressure on communities and viewers, communities and our viewers, people there can't get their

people out there can't get their appointment in the doctor's . appointment in the doctor's. that worries them. chris with news that boris has waded in, thank you very much. >> always a pleasure. and to discuss whether the nhs can survive is survive without migration is same day doctor gp laurence gerlis, welcome to the show . gerlis, welcome to the show. laurence. thank you very much for joining us. so we're just forjoining us. so we're just talking there about number forjoining us. so we're just ta|skilled ere about number forjoining us. so we're just ta|skilled hadibout number forjoining us. so we're just ta|skilled had visa: number forjoining us. so we're just ta|skilled had visa applications of skilled had visa applications . it is 322,000, up 87,000 and including 154,000 dependents. and of course a tranche of that, a large tranche are people coming in to work for the nhs? so the question is, can the nhs survive without out imported nurses and doctors from abroad, or should we actually be training british nurses and doctors up in the first place instead? >> well, i know a lot of foreign medical and nursing graduates are upset by this debate and feel that they're being unfairly singled out and we do depend a lot on on overseas trained staff to run the health service. >> i always think it's unfair to

steal staff from poorer countries . countries. >> um, look, if the populations increase, i'm not political at all, but if the population has increased, we've got to improve the infrastructure. >> the problem, as i see it, is we're asking the wrong questions . doing better at . we should be doing better at retaining staff, retention retaining staff, staff retention so don't have to replace them. >> so often there's a terrible shortage gps, but in fact shortage of gps, but in fact hospital staff , a shortage of gps, but in fact hospital staff, a number of hospital staff, a number of hospital doctors is 30% up on ten years ago. >> but we're less efficient. >> but we're less efficient. >> they're less productive and not because they're lazy, but because the health service is just is 75 years old and it functions like a like a car would if it was 75 years old. >> it just doesn't work. >> it just doesn't work. >> so in answer to your question, can we sustain the nhs? i don't think we can sustain the nhs anyway. i think it's broken and has been for a long time and to some extent i think the public should be calling for a change rather than just saying more funding , more funding. >> let's make it work . >> let's make it work. >> let's make it work. >> because you and i know if you

throw money at the health service, it's not going to make any difference . any difference. >> and so, course, relying on >> and so, of course, relying on imports for the nhs imports and labour for the nhs you're saying is a sticking plaster solution. what kind of root and branch reform would you like to see then instead , what like to see then instead, what i'd like to see is the sort of system they have in australia, germany and france. >> and i know that that's anathema to a lot of people because it involves social insurance. >> it does provide a safety net for the elderly and for people who cannot afford to take out insurance and cannot afford to pay- insurance and cannot afford to pay. it can be run as a fair and equitable system . but every time equitable system. but every time i mention this, people talk about, well, it increases inequality and there is no will within the general public or certainly even within the political parties to make such a radical change. it frustrates me that we cannot do anything really radical in this country, even when it's something to improve the lives of everyone. i mean, just to give you an example, martin, to start off my

own personal hobbyhorse, you know , 90% of prescriptions in know, 90% of prescriptions in this country are dispensed free of charge . um, despite, you of charge. um, despite, you know, although some people are exempt, there's widespread fraud and medicine cabinets all over the country are full of expensive medicines that are going to waste. that's just one example of how we run this thing. and we run it badly. but of course, lawrence, those from the political left, certainly the political left, certainly the labour party would say if we stopped importing nurses and doctors, the nhs would simply collapse . collapse. >> are you are you saying that's going to happen irrespective of that? well yes, i think i think the nhs is collapsing now and we're coming into december and as you know, there'll be another winter crisis . winter crisis. >> there's bound to be there's going to be probably a flu epidemic and people forget that actually quite a lot of staff take their holidays over christmas. mentioned christmas. it's never mentioned when the, you know, the when we see the, you know, the bed crisis over christmas . it's bed crisis over christmas. it's actually one of the reasons for thatis actually one of the reasons for that is huge numbers of staff take annual leave at the same

time becomes a sort of time and it becomes a sort of christmas day service for two weeks, in effect. so, yes, i think the health is think the health service is failing anyway. if we retained our staff better, we wouldn't need them from other need to steal them from other countries . and as you said, countries. and as you said, stealing those staff is just it doesn't solve the problem. it just puts the problem for off another day. we need to reform the health service and i ask the pubuc the health service and i ask the public to ask for it. we're never going to get the politicians to do this. we're never to the medical never going to get the medical profession this. i think profession to do this. i think the public should be demanding reform. >> you know, lawrence, one thing that always intrigues me is how we're always accused of imperialism or empire. if we take things from abroad and bnng take things from abroad and bring them back to britain. yet the liberals, those on the political left, seem to have no such compunction when we are taking the finest trained medical staff from from india, from nigeria , from the from nigeria, from the philippines, from thailand, and bringing to and bringing them to britain. and therefore, of logic, therefore, by dint of logic, depleting those countries of the best health care for their

citizens in exactly so. >> martin and no one ever asks that particular question. and you will know that for every medical school place, there are probably 6 or 7 applications in the uk. but we turn away bright, ambitious, young students who want to be doctors because we don't provide enough training places for medical students because it's actually cheaper , because it's actually cheaper, cheaper to import doctors from third world countries and to train them ourselves and that's been the case for as long as i've been a doctor, which, as you imagine, quite long you can imagine, is quite a long time. know, we just time. you know, we just don't train doctors we train enough doctors and we should add, we should doing should add, we should be doing that. and we should training that. and we should be training our . our own staff. >> yeah, i think a lot of people will agree with that same day. doctor lawrence thank doctor gp lawrence gerlis, thank you on you very much for joining us on gb news. of fresh air. gb news. a breath of fresh air. fantastic. thank you. now nigel farage given a couple of his farage has given a couple of his campmates bum's rush in the campmates the bum's rush in the i'm a celebrity jungle. yes, the gb news presenter been gb news presenter has been caught bath with his caught having a bath with his backside in full view. there's a full moon down under. i'm martin daubney on gb news and this is

not once, but twice now we've seen the full moon down under, as they're calling it, the full farage prime british beef coming out seems to have gone down rather well in the jungle indeed. >> martin it seems like nigel is becoming mr begum tastic in the jungle. >> you know, usually when i'm a celeb, it's all about the women. and they usually have this white bikini moment in the shower. but this year , it seems social media this year, it seems social media and viewers at home are a bit obsessed with nigel farage banng obsessed with nigel farage baring it all down under before the celebrities go on the show. martin they sign an agreement with bosses and they say what they don't want to hear on tv . they don't want to hear on tv. and it appears that maybe nigel didn't read the small print because they seem to be having a bit of fun showing his his buttocks live on tv . buttocks live on tv. >> so, steph, it's the second time, don't you think? it's a part of his game plan? because, of course, he was saying the other night, you know, i want to

get the challenges because i end up airtime. up getting 25% of the airtime. that have backfired. so that seems to have backfired. so when that backfired is rolling out backside . out the backside. >> knows that it's >> well, he knows that it's going to be a talking point. both good and bad. and if the thing is, going to get him thing is, it's going to get him airtime and it works ways, airtime and it works both ways, you in a sense, you have you know, in a sense, you have to kind of get seen and if this is what's to for is what's going to work for nigel for think it will nigel for now, i think it will give airtime. but give him more airtime. but tonight will see him take tonight we will see him take part in a bushtucker trial called the touchdown terror called the touchdown of terror trial, where he will be playing american football with the rest of his team to try and win stars to have some meals on camp tonight. right now he's sleeping on the floor because they lost last challenge. so he last night's challenge. so he sleeping in snake rock. so i can imagine nigel having imagine nigel might be having a bit dodgy back after bit of a dodgy back after sleeping the floor last sleeping on the floor last night. we have to see how night. but we have to see how he'll tonight he'll do tonight it. >> we expecting any >> and are we expecting any sparks from the new arrival ? and sparks from the new arrival? and one of them, the boxing fella. he's been very outspoken about his disdain for brexit and for

nigel. do you think we're going to see the sparks fly there and probably actually that will help nigel to get more air time because it will kick off again, i predict a riot. >> martin indeed. tony who is not someone who holds his tongue. i can imagine once tongue. so i can imagine once him and nigel have bit of one him and nigel have a bit of one on time, the b—word is going on one time, the b—word is going to out again. but you know, to come out again. but you know, what about so what i've loved about nigel so far in this series? he's kept his he's his so his calm. he's kept his cool. so no matter who talking to, no matter who he's talking to, whether he's to talking a fierce remainer such as nella rose, he can handle his whoever comes his way. so i think tony will have his moment with nigel, especially as they're on the same tonight. we're same team tonight. so we're going watch how these going to have to watch how these two on. two get on. >> thank you, steph. it's always a pleasure to from you. a pleasure to hear from you. thank much for that thank you very much for that latest the rumble in latest update on the rumble in the jungle. now sight for sore eyes. hoved into view eyes. just hoved into view because bev turner has joined me in you're standing in the studio. you're standing in the studio. you're standing in transitioning into in for me transitioning into michelle juby tonight for jubes. i am identifying as michelle tonight . tonight. >> just for one hour >> martin just for one hour while off something while she's off doing something more important on a friday night
