9:38 am
24 hours this truce? 24 hours of this truce? >> doesn't appear to be the >> it doesn't appear to be the case. the indicators and case. and all the indicators and warnings israeli side warnings from the israeli side is are looking to kick is that they are looking to kick on their military on with their military operations, last night operations, saying last night that they will use full that they will use the full force of military to force of their military to continue but most continue south. but most analysts this morning analysts say this morning that actually able to actually they won't be able to use full force because use their full force because they've some 2 million they've moved some 2 million civilians the south, an civilians into the south, an area, a humanitarian corridor of for 18km2, 40% higher, for just 18km2, 40% higher, denser city than greater london, a very intense situation. when they went to the north, their immediate objective, they used 3 or 4 armoured division tanks , or 4 armoured division tanks, all blazing artillery. the works. they can't do that in the south. there are 2 million civilians there. so we're going to see more deft and gentle operations. i think that's the likely phase. so the likely next phase. so the special forces units the special forces units of the israeli defence forces, sayeret matkal, modelled after the matkal, it's modelled after the sas. they even share a motto of who dares wins. they will be moving next, almost certainly to conduct those operations and they will have nimble and they will have to be nimble and gentle because they've just lost 70 troops in this advance. some
9:39 am
4000 fighters have also 4000 hamas fighters have also been killed. but civilian casualties are, of course, a growing concern for the international community. and if they with that kind of they continue with that kind of operation, it will become devastate. >> sarah vine great. it's fantastic to see so many people marching on the streets peacefully, spontaneous singing of national anthem the of the national anthem at the cenotaph the very cenotaph, and also just the very nice atmosphere , very of nice atmosphere, very kind of peaceful very different from peaceful and very different from the sort of thing that we've seen in recent weeks . seen in recent weeks. >> yes, i think there was a deliberate choice to have a peaceful march, to have something that was very civilised and lots. i knew lots. i know lots of people who went on it and they said it was very uplifting, quite sombre , but uplifting, quite sombre, but very uplifting. and there were no problems. tommy robertson tried to get a coffee in press at one point and was swiftly removed by the police. so he, you know, he did have a go, but there was there was there was no purchase, no . purchase, no. >> and good to see people like bofis >> and good to see people like boris johnson. there >> yeah, very good to see boris. and he was there with carrie and their son, one of their
9:40 am
children. yeah. and the historian, simon sebag montefiore he was montefiore was there. he was stopped a lot of people. stopped by a lot of people. there very there were there were some very there were also a lot of who were also a lot of people who were not jewish. yes. also a lot of people who were not boris h. yes. also a lot of people who were not boris wondered why it took >> boris wondered why it took quite so long for it to happen because we had every week we seem be having the seem to be having the pro—palestine march. >> it very much happened >> i think it very much happened in fact that in response to the fact that a lot of people the jewish lot of people in the jewish community that, you know, community felt that, you know, this anti—semitic ism this kind of anti—semitic ism that we've these, you that we've seen at these, you know, marches has been so know, other marches has been so prevalent and i think that it just took a while to get to get for everyone to get their act together. but it really was a response to that . it was a way response to that. it was a way of saying, you know, you of saying, look, you know, you can you can state your can protest, you can state your case, but you don't have to be you know, you don't have to inqu you know, you don't have to insult you. you don't have to be anti palestine or anti anti islam. you can you can you know, you can just be yourself. >> what do we read into that, sarah? the fact that the israeli protest was so peaceful and it wasn't as angry, i think
9:41 am
palestinian pro—palestinian protests have had a lot of. >> well, i mean i mean, it should be pointed out that the leader of hizb ut—tahrir was one of the organisers of many of those protests. hizb ut—tahrir is a terrorist organiser that has a, you know, stated aim of establishing a global caliphate under sharia law. you know, this man, the mail on sunday exposed who is he? who is in charge of it in the uk? he's a gp from heathrow and so you have a very different type of person organising that march. there are elements in those marches that are definitely not not how shall we say, pro britain, kumbaya. they're quite they you know, they're not the state of israel. they don't they don't want to join hands across the world. they want to they want to get you know, they have an agenda. and the only person. so and he's not the only person. so you've got a lot of elements in those marches, a lot of the people are there for all the right reasons because they're protesting against the loss of lives gaza. and that's
9:42 am
lives in gaza. and that's completely also completely okay. but you also have in those have a lot of elements in those marches are not. but i don't marches who are not. but i don't think they're for the right reasons. >> i think that's right. charlie, isn't it? what sarah is saying about compared what happened some of happened in some of the pro—palestinian marches, some of the there. the people who were there. i think comparing also the police response. >> interesting. think >> yes, interesting. i think there of course, many there have been, of course, many accusations about two tiered policing, as sarah mentioned, how was dealt how tommy robinson was dealt with. and they released a statement met yesterday statement that met yesterday saying of the saying that some of the organisers didn't want him there. arrested him. well, there. so we arrested him. well, or palestinian protesters, or the palestinian protesters, did they want some of the nefarious elements at their protests? they protests? why weren't they removed? at the same time, there does have been a does seem to have been a different how the different approach in how the dean different approach in how the dealt robinson as how different approach in how the dealtdealt robinson as how different approach in how the dealtdealt with robinson as how different approach in how the dealtdealt with people nson as how different approach in how the dealtdealt with people say| as how different approach in how the dealtdealt with people say ,as how they dealt with people say, wearing balaclavas and chanting for hamas. this is, i think, quite a controversial split. >> hizb ut—tahrir had a flag, you know, on saturday. they had a flag saying, know, calling a flag saying, you know, calling for calling for a holy war. for a calling for a holy war. and, you know, no one at that march went up to a policeman and said, i'm sorry, this is not okay. we don't we don't want these people here. you get
9:43 am
these people here. can you get rid of them? >> yeah, shouldn't take the >> yeah, it shouldn't take the police people, police telling people, being told do kind of stuff, told to do that kind of stuff, told to do that kind of stuff, to it anyway. they should to do it anyway. they should act. you should perhaps when act. you should say perhaps when they carrying flag they see someone carrying a flag calling for jihad. >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> thanks, charlie. >> okay. thanks, charlie. thanks, for now. thanks, sarah. for now. ministers been accused of ministers have been accused of covering situation which covering up a situation in which soldiers spied on soldiers secretly spied on british critics of the government's response to covid. >> can you get the info on >> where can you get the info on that with the former that later with the former brexit davis. brexit secretary, david davis. but covid inquiry but now the covid inquiry continues our continues this morning, and our reporter hartle is there reporter lisa hartle is there who can tell us who's going to be giving evidence . be giving evidence. >> hello? yes, well, today it's the day of the mayors. so we just saw sadiq khan, london's mayor, arriving along with greater manchester's andy burnham. they're appearing this morning. and this afternoon we're expecting steve rotheram, the mayor of liverpool. so it's expected today this will be module two, this hearing. so looking at the core political decision making, when we saw all the restrictions being brought into into play during the
9:44 am
pandemic, now the mayors are likely to be questioned about their communication with government at the time . so when government at the time. so when government at the time. so when government were putting forward requests, wanting to have certain restrictions brought in in certain areas, what happened with the communication between government and mayors during that time? now, andy burnham in particular, in october 2020 was involved in a sort of standoff between boris johnson and himself , between boris johnson and himself, because at the time we saw a big increase in the number of cases that were happening in manchester. so boris johnson at the time wanted to bring in the full extent of restrictions, whereas andy burnham was pushing back at the time , just saying, back at the time, just saying, well, what about the financial support for people? also, why is this just manchester? you're making manchester into a sacrificial lamb. there should be a whole nationwide approach to tackling the virus. and as it happens days later, that is exactly what happened. so there will over that. and will be questions over that. and also, sir jonathan van—tam has also, sirjonathan van—tam has previously said he's, of course,
9:45 am
the former deputy chief medical officer. he's previously said that this arguing between different mayors with government actually hindered or hampered the restrictions that were being requested by government to try and bring those levels down in certain areas with local lockdowns and things like that. so that's the kind of thing that they're going to be expected to go into today. and sadiq khan is expected first witness expected to be the first witness to talk to face the inquiry. and that will be at half ten this morning. >> okay. thank you, lisa lisa hartle at the covid inquiry. sarah vine in your column very recently in the demo, you were excoriating about the covid inquiry. >> it wasn't very much, but i mean, i just think i just think it's i don't know what it's doing. >> it's not answering any of the questions that we want answering. it'sjust questions that we want answering. it's just a sort of endless psychodrama of. he said he said, she said, i was right. i was better than other i was better than the other person that is. i mean, person that person is. i mean, it's boring. it's like watching eastenders. >> think i know exactly >> yeah, i think i know exactly what it's doing though. i think it's moving towards the
9:46 am
conclusion event conclusion that in the event of another global emergency, whatever, might be, we give whatever, that might be, we give all of powers to the world all of our powers to the world health organisation and the pandemic treaty, which some countries luckily are now pulling of . and we look like pulling out of. and we look like we're going to be dangerously moving it. and then the moving into it. and then the w.h.o, moving into it. and then the who, who make decisions for on w.h.o, who make decisions for on ouryeah, no, that would >> yeah, no, that would be madness. i think, you madness. i mean, i think, you know, do think that know, i, i really do think that there are some questions be there are some questions to be answered. such as why was it that bought all the private that we bought all the private hospitals never used hospitals and then never used any nightingale hospital spent spent an absolute there spent an absolute fortune there are there are really important sort of technical governmental questions about sort of administration that need answers. what i'm getting, all i'm getting is sort of just kind of sort of lefty government bashing, which is quite. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and there's no indication so far we might get more about that when rishi sunak is in there. sarah as the chancellor, as to what cost effective analysis they did about doing a lockdown because we're sure they because we're pretty sure they didn't what impact it didn't do one. what impact it would have on the economy. we

9:50 am
claimed that lee had threatened to quit the tories in order to negotiate himself a promotion. >> let's and make head >> well, let's try and make head or tail of this because who says what? you never quite know who's telling it as from joining telling it as it is from joining us westminster, very own us from westminster, very own political olivia us from westminster, very own politic this olivia us from westminster, very own politic this is olivia us from westminster, very own politic this is a olivia us from westminster, very own politicthis is a sorry olivia us from westminster, very own politic this is a sorry little via utley. this is a sorry little mess, isn't he says, and he mess, isn't it? he says, and he says, telling the truth says, who's telling the truth here? olivia >> well, it's a very strange story. and both sides seem to be digging their heels in. just to recap on what happened and over the weekend, the sunday times reported that lee anderson had been secretly filmed speaking to a conservative association in cambridge, claiming that a party beginning with r, he didn't actually say reform , but a party actually say reform, but a party beginning with r had offered him a lot of money. he said a lot of money. i mean, a lot to defect and join them now. lee anderson richard tice, the leader of reform, went on laura kuenssberg show on the bbc yesterday and said that is absolutely not
9:51 am
true. lee anderson was not offered any money. what he was offered any money. what he was offered was the opportunity to reshape the discourse. well lee anderson has come back and said, no, i was offered money by reform . he claims that he was reform. he claims that he was offered the equivalent of five years of his salary . so that's years of his salary. so that's 430 grand. if he stood for reform and failed to get elected at the next election. so, as you say, it's basically a war of words between the two of them, he said. he said what's now emerged is that simon hart, the tory chief whip, was informed by by lee anderson in february. well he alleged to the to the to the tory chief whip that he had been offered this money. lee anderson , simon hart told anderson, simon hart told lindsay hoyle, the speaker and the speaker said that the conservatives should pass this over to the police because there's a danger that richard tice if this is true , was tice if this is true, was breaking electoral law . so now breaking electoral law. so now it as though the issue is it seems as though the issue is in police's hands and in the police's hands and perhaps soon we'll get to the
9:52 am

10:07 am
live to rishi sunak soon. also at this investment summit in hampton. but first of all, political commentator piers pottinger, the founder of europe's biggest pr firm, bell pottinger , is with us here. um, pottinger, is with us here. um, just your reflections on the anti—semitism march yesterday, anti —semitism march yesterday, piers, anti—semitism march yesterday, piers, very peaceful , very piers, very peaceful, very different atmosphere to the pro palestinian march. >> definitely very dignified. it was good to see. it was calm . it was good to see. it was calm. it was good to see. it was calm. it was there was some good to see certain people there. it was obvious also that the absence of others , particularly anyone on others, particularly anyone on the front bench of the labour party. yes and also those wonderful trade union leaders like the delightful mick lynch, who was happy to march with the palestinians in march , but not palestinians in march, but not to stand up for anti—semitism, which is a really significant, isn't it, that there was no i think peter kyle was there, who's a shadow minister on the
10:08 am
labour benches . labour benches. >> but as you say, no sign of keir starmer or angela rayner. no, the big, the big, the big beasts , none of them were there. beasts, none of them were there. >> and, and even old labour hands weren't there. it was a disgraceful and it does show that anti—semitism within the labour party is still a massive problem and i think keir starmer will find one of his problems coming up at the next election will be the lack of jewish people voting for him. yeah and of course 200,000 is the jewish community, 5 million is the muslim community. >> and the muslims we know largely vote labour. yeah, the political odds are stacked against, aren't they? >> yes, absolutely . but i mean, >> yes, absolutely. but i mean, the good thing about that march was at least it showed that there were some sensible people, as boris quite rightly pointed out, everyone seems to be taken in by the hamas propaganda and the whole business of the hostages. no one mentions that
10:09 am
in order to release the hostages, israel has to release hundreds more palestine prisoners in their jails. hundreds more palestine prisoners in their jails . and prisoners in their jails. and those prisoners are mostly in jail for a reason. yeah they're criminals. >> yeah, we're looking at live pictures here from the global investment summit. piers pottinger , this is at hampton. pottinger, this is at hampton. now, this is a good news day. isn't it? terrific >> this is really good for news britain. i think this really is a great achievement by everyone involved. i think kemi badenoch deserves some praise here. the most significant factor is that the investments coming from all over the world on sophia america, even taiwan as well as europe, sweden and germany, the netherlands and spain supposed to stop after brexit? >> pierce yeah, exactly. >> pierce yeah, exactly. >> this is good news for britain andifs >> this is good news for britain and it's a real achievement by rishi and the conservative government. >> 30 billion is the figure they're talking. i've seen i've seen a draft of the prime
10:10 am
minister's speech. he's saying it's at least 12,000 jobs being created from some of today's investments. >> yeah, this will help in the levelling up desire at and it is a huge significance. there's no question about it. we're talking about nearly £33 billion of inward investment . that's new inward investment. that's new investment in the united kingdom from all over the world. now, if that isn't a vote of confidence course in the stability and the opportunity in this country, nothing is . nothing is. >> you'd have advised many of those companies. bell pottinger peers. and of course, one of the big companies that kicked up before brexit vote was before the brexit vote was nissan, they it nissan, because they said it would the death of the car would be the death of the car industry . they've announced industry. they've announced at the further £2 the weekend they a further £2 billion sunderland billion investment in sunderland and two new cars they're going to produce and a big giga batteries, massive , massive for batteries, massive, massive for the north—east. >> absolutely and all credit to nissan because they've admitted they were wrong about brexit.
10:11 am
>> yeah and i mean this is of great significance. of course, the remainers and a lot of the left wing press will not give this the prominence that it deserves . but this the prominence that it deserves. but i think this is a major achievement. and also coming on the back of the autumn statement where there were biggest business tax cuts for many decades , this is really be many decades, this is really be a sign that that the cabinet have got things moving in a positive way. >> you've been advising tory, prime ministers and ministers since thatcher. do you think it's too late now for this tory government? >> no, i don't because i was reminded by a friend of mine at the weekend in 1992, everyone wrote off john major . it was the weekend in 1992, everyone wrote off john major. it was in the middle of a recession and people weren't feeling better off or feeling any any optimism really . and yet, major one and really. and yet, major one and the reason he won is that people felt kinnock was not up to it. and again , quite often you'll
10:12 am
and again, quite often you'll find that british people vote against rather than for something. and . in 1992 they something. and. in 1992 they voted against labour because they were scared of what labour would do to the economy . quite would do to the economy. quite rightly and at the moment starmer has no visible , starmer has no visible, credible, well—funded policies about business s such as this. you never see a labour government delivering anything like this has just happened today. >> i was gobsmacked with his interview gave on classic fm last week and he was asked to pick a piece of music that best summed up for him the labour party, and he picked oh two flipping joy. >> that is the eu national anthem. is that not? think of any. does he not think anything through? >> no, don't think staggering, >> no, i don't think staggering, no. of course it was used by no. and of course it was used by the germans in the war rather a great deal. it was. and i think if unless i'm very much mistaken , the same people who also slaughtered millions of jewish people in auschwitz. yeah. i mean , i just.
10:13 am
mean, i just. >> i just. mean, i just. >> ijust. i read it twice. thought he can't have said that. >> he must have got the symphony wrong. >> no , it was the ode to joy, >> no, it was the ode to joy, which has been the eu's national anthem the part half anthem for the best part of half a century. >> maybe he knows that >> but maybe he knows that perhaps it's the remainer crowd >> but maybe he knows that perh he. it's the remainer crowd >> but maybe he knows that perh he wants|e remainer crowd >> but maybe he knows that perh he wants to remainer crowd >> but maybe he knows that perh he wants to appealzr crowd >> but maybe he knows that perh he wants to appeal to. rowd that he wants to appeal to. >> perhaps that's his calculation. >> you think do you think >> or do you think do you think do he thought it do you think he thought it through? piers i'm frightened. >> he has. yes. because. but >> if he has. yes. because. but it was inept because, first of all, he should have chosen something, at least british. yes. and maybe something a bit more proper british appeal. >> we just think the kemi badenoch is now taking to the stage at this summit. this is at hampton court. stage at this summit. this is at hampton court . they're really hampton court. they're really throwing everything at this, piers pottinger, because later on, we know that the king will be a reception at be hosting a reception at buckingham palace with some of these leaders, of these world leaders, some of these world leaders, some of these these businessmen and women. right . yeah. women. and quite right. yeah. and kemi badenoch, of course, is our business trade secretary. and so she's this won't be a
10:14 am
this won't be doing her leadership prospects any harm. no no, no not at all. >> i mean , she is also very much >> i mean, she is also very much a popular person with the membership of the party and growing in popularity . and i growing in popularity. and i think this will do her immense good. she has been travelling around the world tying these deals up. and this is the fruit has come to bear today. it really is. and i can't stress enough the fact that it's from all these countries around the world. it's a huge list . and world. it's a huge list. and even taiwan, which is in taipei, kind of the home of some software development there, investor in technology in the uk, it's fantastic . uk, it's fantastic. >> let's have a little listen. so here is the business and trade secretary, kemi badenoch greenfield. >> fdi than germany and france combined. we also have the most valuable tech sector , only the valuable tech sector, only the third in the world to reach £1
10:15 am
trillion in value. last year alone, we created 112,000 jobs in all corners of the uk from inward investment , with many inward investment, with many more being created here today . more being created here today. since the department for business and trade was formed just a few months ago, we have seen even greater investment in this country . seen even greater investment in this country. in my first few days as business secretary i ushered in a momentous deal for airbus and rolls—royce, providing new aircraft for air india . in september, bmw's india. in september, bmw's announced the transformation of their oxford mini plant, which secured 40,000 jobs with stellantis . stellantis. >> so that's kemi badenoch speaking. she is the business secretary. we're expecting the prime minister in the next few minutes. he's obviously going to try and own as much of this because, of course, this is important economy, important for the economy, but also desperately also this is desperately important the tories important for the tories election prospects, are election prospects, which are looking bleak. election prospects, which are loo absolutely. 3leak. election prospects, which are loo absolutely. i eak. election prospects, which are loo absolutely. i mean, he needs election prospects, which are loo;andlutely. i mean, he needs election prospects, which are loo;and butly. i mean, he needs election prospects, which are loo;and but it i mean, he needs election prospects, which are loo;and but it ismean, he needs election prospects, which are loo;and but it is tremendous.3ds this and but it is tremendous. and as i say, i fear it won't
10:16 am
get the coverage it deserves. but but it is. i mean, to say it's a step in the right direction is an understatement . direction is an understatement. this is something that he should be able to build on. and i would expect to see more investment coming as a result of this. do you know why? >> i think it doesn't get the attention it might deserve, piers, when we're piers, is because when we're talking about these jobs in the tech the digital tech industry, in the digital landscape the landscape changing, we're at the forefront. aren't seeing forefront. people aren't seeing it. so does feel like these it. so it does feel like these sorts of industries are kind of hidden away . people are seeing hidden away. people are seeing high streets with boarded up businesses nowhere to park businesses and nowhere to park their when they to do the their car when they go to do the shopping. do the government shopping. how do the government get this ? get across this? >> they'll definitely see it in sunderland because we're looking at 12,000 jobs up there and that isn't just in the technology, it's all the suppliers that supply the factories is all the local businesses that benefit from cafes to bus services , all from cafes to bus services, all kinds of it sort of filters down
10:17 am
throughout every aspect of life. and also the people living around there will find themselves suddenly in work and with some money to spend, it will have an effect . it will will have an effect. it will take a bit of time, admits idly. but this is very positive indeed. and really, it's also extreme hard for the labour party or anyone else in opposition to knock this. >> why don't they come out and actually say it's a good thing for once, you know, knock all the yarbu stuff on the head? because i mean, i've already heard somebody saying, oh, well, this is all very well, but they've been in power for 13 years. hang on, if it's good news. it's good news, isn't it? >> is good news. this has >> it is good news. this has happened this is we're happened now. this is we're talking today. there's no talking about today. there's no point the back. point turning the clock back. no. look what's no. let's look at what's happening now. rishi hasn't been in long he's in power very long and he's delivering. actually delivering. and this is actually of significance , coupled of great significance, coupled with the autumn statement . it's with the autumn statement. it's moving in the right direction. don't forget, there'll be another in in the spring
10:18 am
another budget in in the spring and i think there'll be more benefits coming through from that. there won't be an election in the spring. i'm absolutely convinced of that. there will be an election at the last possible moment and by then one would hope that some of this will have because he because he needs something. >> because even if you look in the conservative home league table, conservative home the table, conservative home is the bible tory members and bible of tory party members and activists. do a monthly activists. they do a monthly league of which ministers league table of which ministers is most popular, is down is most popular, which is down in number 20. in about number 20. >> because mean, >> yeah, because he's i mean, unfortunately doesn't have a unfortunately he doesn't have a natural charisma. he doesn't have a natural affinity in communicating with the people . communicating with the people. strangely enough, the best person in the cabinet for this is probably david cameron , who, is probably david cameron, who, like him or not, he does have a way at communicating . he's got way at communicating. he's got an aura and reaching the people in a really positive way. think. >> do you think, piers, it might go until january 24th for the election? >> i think if they can leave it till then, they will do. but also depends a bit on starmer ,
10:19 am
also depends a bit on starmer, because i don't think that the laboun because i don't think that the labour, the labour party are so scared of committing to policies that are going to cost them votes. they're terrified of that. so they're saying nothing . that. so they're saying nothing. and again, if you look at the labour party front bench , you labour party front bench, you really, really would you want them governing this country ? them governing this country? would you want them running the economy ? economy? >> oh, look, here's the prime minister, the prime minister rishi sunak, he's walking to the platform. >> he yes, he we can see him standing above the platform and so we'll have a listen to him for few minutes. for a few minutes. >> second, global investment summit. argument today summit. now, my argument today is the uk is a modern is that the uk is a modern dynamic. three thriving economy and where better to prove those futuristic credentials than a 500 year old palace? but this summit is not just a sales pitch for britain, although you'd better believe that i'm going to give you that. it's also a chance for us to say thank you. i've spent my career before politics in business and finance, and so have many of my
10:20 am
top team, including the chancellor . top team, including the chancellor. and we top team, including the chancellor . and we know that chancellor. and we know that it's not governments that grow the economy, it's businesses and investors like all of you . you investors like all of you. you create jobs , drive growth, create jobs, drive growth, generate wealth , and you even generate wealth, and you even take on some of the biggest social challenges we face. and it may be unfashionable to say, but i believe that your success is our country's success. so i'm really grateful to all of you for making the time to be here today and your presence , your today and your presence, your decision to choose to invest in britain is a huge vote of confidence in our country's future and i think you're absolutely right to feel that confidence, because we are setting about making this the best place in the world to invest and do business. now, i'm unashamedly proud of britain and there is a growing momentum right here in the uk right now . right here in the uk right now. don't just take my word for it . don't just take my word for it. pwc survey this year of

thousands of global ceos rated the uk the most attractive investment destination in europe. and you can see that confidence in the decisions means that people are making like tata, bmw and just last week, nissan investing billions into automotive and electric vehicle manufacture boeing or microsoft announcing today £2.5 billion for critical ai infrastructure. in addition to all the leading ai labs who already have their european offices here. all the ellison institute of technology confirms today £1 billion investment into their new oxford site, researching and developing new technologies, including life sciences . and you can see that sciences. and you can see that momentum too, in our commitment to free trade in the past year alone, we've secured new investment partnerships with the united states, japan and south korea worth more than £50 billion. we became only the
10:22 am
first european country to join the fast growing trans pacific trade bloc and hugely benefited from the sovereign investment partnership with the united arab emirates, deploying over £14 billion into the uk in a little over two years and all of that is why this country is the one with the fastest investment growth anywhere in the g7. so when i say that this country can be the best place in the world to invest and to do business, you should believe me and believe me because of three big competitive advantages that we have our low tax approach , our have our low tax approach, our culture of innovation and our people . firstly, tax the purest people. firstly, tax the purest expression of this government's economic philosophy is that people and businesses make far better decisions about their own money than any government could . money than any government could. and i believe that allowing you to keep more of the return on

your capital in our country becomes more competitive as a place to invest, grow and create jobs. and make no mistake , we jobs. and make no mistake, we are cutting taxes . not only do are cutting taxes. not only do we have the lowest corporation tax rate in the g7, last week we announced that we would make full expensing permanent. that means you can write off the cost of many capital investments in full. it makes our capital allowances regime one of the most generous in the world. and it was the biggest business tax cut in modern british history. and that's not all we've got lower capital gains tax rates than france, germany, italy and japan. some of the most generous tax reliefs on stock options anywhere in the world. and we're cutting personal taxes to 27. >> that's prime minister rishi sunak there talking at hampton court palace at this global investment summit. the problem is started out fairly well, is he started out fairly well, fairly warm. sounds like he's fairly warm. he sounds like he's talking to huge corporations to

11:09 am
>> i mean, so many orphans, families reunited, many them families reunited, many of them of course, immediately to of course, immediately rushed to hospital they've been hospital because they've been kept austere and kept in such austere and punishing conditions. yesterday ispoke punishing conditions. yesterday i spoke to the family of maya regev when we were in israel . we regev when we were in israel. we met her mother. she was hoping that her children would be released just of has released just one of them has now. was rushed to hospital now. maya was rushed to hospital for leg, for urgent surgery on her leg, which with which was threatened with amputation to an infection. amputation due to an infection. a gunshot wound suffered on october the and being kept october the 7th and being kept in medical for in such poor medical care for that now the family that period. now the family expressed some joy that maya was back, their son itai back, but their son itai fighting age male, is the as the gazans would see him being kept behind . and so the are releasing behind. and so the are releasing so far women and children first and they're retaining what the gazans and hamas would feel as high value hostages are still being retained. so it was interesting last night, i thought that they released a joint american civilian, joint israeli american civilian, four year old girl was one of those they released , a sort those that they released, a sort of sign perhaps towards joe biden could release biden that they could release more hostages, showing more american hostages, showing that keep the pressure up. washington and we'll extend the
11:10 am
ceasefire you more ceasefire and give you more because 20 americans. because they hold 20 americans. those are the real bankers for hamas that is keeping this truce open. so far , it seems that all open. so far, it seems that all parties want this truce to be extended, which is very fragile . extended, which is very fragile. and even israel has said that they'd happy to do it if they they'd be happy to do it if they could extend a day, if ten could extend it by a day, if ten more were released. but more were released. yeah, but that also kind that israeli message also kind of quietly tainted with with the statement that they are willing to continue fight to continue their fight for victory . netanyahu inside gaza victory. netanyahu inside gaza strip , the first israeli leader strip, the first israeli leader inside since 2005, inside the strip since 2005, stood on a tank in military fatigues . this is not the most fatigues. this is not the most peaceful ceasefire you could think of. you can be sure that the idf right now is developed its intelligence products, rearming , re preparing and rearming, re preparing and getting set to go again. and what will almost certainly be a devastating second phase of this conflict. likewise as hamas >> hamas is likewise as hamas the same, charlie, because they've been they've suffered a series of punishing military booths, but they too can now be regrouping in their tunnels. >> it's a it's an area of two layers, a civilian layer on the
11:11 am
top and a military layer underneath that sub terranean underneath that subterranean labyrinth where terrorists gather. israeli gather. now, the israeli military , four armoured military, four armoured divisions in the north to seize gaza city and north gaza . but gaza city and north gaza. but it's almost certainly the case that some hamas fighters remain in that be in the north, that won't be an entirely secure ground as they look south and those look to move south and those fighters, we know that they will remove military fatigues fighters, we know that they will rerthey military fatigues fighters, we know that they will rerthey head military fatigues fighters, we know that they will rerthey head south.y fatigues fighters, we know that they will rerthey head south. theygues as they head south. they will blend civilian populace blend into the civilian populace and as and when they and re—emerge as and when they are required to inflict punishment idf . and so punishment onto the idf. and so that phase will be brutal, that next phase will be brutal, especially as there are 2 million civilians in the south thatis million civilians in the south that is civil, nearly restricted terrain and we have seen, i think, the idf almost flying blind in its approach to civilians in gaza and civilians in the gaza strip. and i really a strategy i don't really have a strategy for with them. for dealing with them. >> don't care their >> hamas don't care about their own >> hamas don't care about their owrwell, go. they're >> well, there we go. they're happy to use them as they use human to them happy to use them as they use hu human to them happy to use them as they use hu human shields to them happy to use them as they use hu human shields and to them happy to use them as they use hu human shields and to becomen as human shields and to become them it them to them when it suits them to remove weapons and then remove those weapons and then rearm and repair when the opportunity appears. of course, netanyahu in his military fatigues. >> he's under huge political pressure, isn't he, because he's
11:12 am
government is being blamed for the shock wing breach of security that enabled the hamas fighters to strike on october the 7th. there has been it's unquestionable . unquestionable. >> there have been ginormous leadership and political failures even since the start of this war. some strategic blunders throughout it. but it was interesting to see this war cabinet attempt to kind of re—establish wish victory on the information war on the propaganda front recently with this hostage situation actually naming the potential prisoners that they would release if hamas gave up more israelis and joint nationals because that you know for so long in this conflict, israeli families have been speaking to netanyahu . well, i speaking to netanyahu. well, i say speaking to being very aggressively towards him, saying, have let down our saying, you have let down our families them. families, please release them. if israelis say to the if the israelis say to the palestinians, here's who we will release those palestinian families can then turn to hamas and say , well, come on, why are and say, well, come on, why are you up release of my you holding up the release of my father mother? even if father or my mother? even if they are a terrorist who's committed appalling atrocities inside israel, inside the west bank or israel, this opportunity for the
11:13 am
this is an opportunity for the israeli side to put that pressure on the palestinians, on hamas, to say, bring our families home as well. >> what a complicated it really is. messy situation this is not going to have any sort of resolution, charlie, before the end of this year. at the least is it this conflict will roll on and i think this next phase, this next phase of the conflict is more decisive phase moving into the south. >> that will mean there's no understanding of what the kind of war plan is . that's of post war plan is. that's still so vague. that's one of those strategic i was those strategic blunders i was talking about. there's no talking about. there's been no attempt explanation attempt to voice an explanation of they're to do of what they're going to do next. can even next. and before they can even reach they've most reach that, they've got the most difficult conflict difficult part of the conflict to those to come. they've sent all those civilians to the south, and now they somehow clear out they have to somehow clear out hamas protect as much of hamas and protect as much of that infrastructure as that civilian infrastructure as possible going do possible if they're going to do extreme campaigns , as extreme bombing campaigns, as they did at the start, and targeted munitions, targeted precision munitions, that's be an extremely that's going to be an extremely delicate and well, devastating situation, maintaining the international coalition,
11:14 am
supporting israel, though that is holding up well . yeah, is so far holding up well. yeah, well, it's two sides. it's pretty which one you want pretty clear which one you want to be on if you're part of the law international law abiding international community. but it gets tougher to support israeli action as the intensity of the fighting grows and the opportunity for risk to civilian life grows with it . civilian life grows with it. those 2 million in the south, the humanitarian corridor that they're being kept in that area of just 14km2, is very small. okay? and it's not habitable. it's sandy areas . this is a it's sandy areas. this is a former bedouin camp . this is a former bedouin camp. this is a place where people would live with tents. there are eight refugee camps in the gaza strip already. the un want ninth. >> okay . >> okay. >> okay. >> we're going to be talking to the editor of the jewish chronicle , i believe, in just chronicle, i believe, in just a few moments, jake wallace. simons because we want to know what he thinks about the march at the weekend because of course, boris johnson was there, which was was it was a gift for the for the march because, of course , everybody wants to hear course, everybody wants to hear what boris johnson has to say.

11:20 am
monday to thursdays from six till 930 . till 930. 1120 is britain's newsroom on gb news with me, andrew pierce and bev turner. >> so tens of thousands of people attended a march against anti—semitism in london on sunday over fears about the rising number of attacks on jewish people in this country. >> the former prime minister,
11:21 am
bons >> the former prime minister, boris johnson , was among those boris johnson, was among those and he told gb news why he was there. >> what we're all doing here and the only thing we're really doing is showing solidarity with jewish people. and that's necessary because since october 7, i'm afraid there's been a very peculiar response in many parts of the world, including i'm sad to say, in london at and what we've seen is a i'm afraid that the re—emergence of anti semitism and a failure to focus on the appalling terrorist acts of hamas. so boris johnson and what we think is a grimsby town football club bubble has been bugging me all morning. >> why would he wear grimsby >> why would he wear a grimsby town club? town football club? >> absolutely idea. >> absolutely no idea. >> absolutely no idea. >> fan. >> absolutely no idea. >> no. fan. >> absolutely no idea. >> no. well, fan. >> absolutely no idea. >> no. well, let's fan. >> absolutely no idea. >> no. well, let's speakin. >> absolutely no idea. >> no. well, let's speak now to the jewish the editor of the jewish chronicle, wallace. simmons chronicle, jake wallace. simmons morning, . good to see you. morning, jake. good to see you. how of boost is it for an how much of a boost is it for an event like this to have boris johnson to the media? >> i think it was fantastic of
11:22 am
him to come . i >> i think it was fantastic of him to come. i mean, >> i think it was fantastic of him to come . i mean, the rally him to come. i mean, the rally yesterday was historic. it was incredible . it was the biggest, incredible. it was the biggest, we think, since the battle of cable street in 1936. and yet on the whole, the political turnout was not as impressive as we would have hoped. we had a wonderful appearance by robert jenrick , by tom tugendhat, and jenrick, by tom tugendhat, and by peter kyle for labour, but there were no leaders of either of the opposition or of the tory party. there were very few proper frontbench figures. there or shadow frontbench figures. and so it felt a little bit poor really from that point of view. so it was nice to see boris there in the crowd, at least. >> why weren't they there? because as we've had weeks and weeks pro—palestinian weeks of these pro—palestinian marches, with all the ensuing controversy, as you say, this was the most well attended march since the cable street demos back in the 1930. it seems a great it would have been a great opportunity for politicians to have been there, even if they were just there for an hour. >> exactly. you'd have thought
11:23 am
this would be the obvious thing to do to, you know, to stand up not just for the jewish community, but we're standing up for values. were for british values. we were standing against bigotry, against illiberalism and standing up for democracy. you know, the people there on the streets were chanting frequently for peace. there wasn't a single person there. i don't think , who person there. i don't think, who had anything against any muslim or palestinian. and all we wanted really was to stand up to the haters, to the bigots, to the haters, to the bigots, to the people who stand against everything that britain holds dear. everything that britain holds dear . so it everything that britain holds dear. so it would everything that britain holds dear . so it would have been dear. so it would have been obvious for politicians to come along in greater numbers and in higher profile to make that point. i don't know why point. i just don't know why they didn't. i've heard various theories which i probably shouldn't go into because they're sort of about internal politicking . but basically i politicking. but basically i think rather poor show think it was rather a poor show at time. we've got to put at this time. we've got to put values first and put minorities first the things that first and put the things that we believe first ahead of any believe in first ahead of any petty political calculations . petty political calculations. >> do you think enough people in this country. it worries a this country. it worries me a
11:24 am
lot, understand stand what anti—semitism means. they just i've talked to younger people and they look blank. and i say , and they look blank. and i say, you know, it's all about hatred of jewish people. oh, no, it's all about hating israel. no no, no. hating jewish no. it's about hating jewish people think people. do you think people understand it properly even today. >> can you hear us, jake ? >> can you hear us, jake? >> can you hear us, jake? >> i'm sorry, andrew. the sound appears to drop. >> jake are we losing jake? have you still got jake ? we're you still got jake? we're >> i think you make a good point. i don't think i don't think a lot of people do understand. >> i really don't think they understand the expression, what it my anti—semite it means. see, my anti—semite and jewish hating is a very ugly expression. but that's essentially what it means. it's also sort of it's completely irrational . irrational. >> i mean, i know all racism is irrational. of course it is. the idea that you would treat people with discrimination based on their immutable characteristics or , you know, whatever. they
11:25 am
or, you know, whatever. they were born , whether that's were born, whether that's melanin in their skin or their religion. maybe you wouldn't necessarily put it into that. but, you know , the culture that but, you know, the culture that a has been born into that a person has been born into that you would discriminate against them. think a lot of them. and i think a lot of people easy to people don't. it's easy to understand racism when you can look at somebody and, you know, i'm not excusing , but i'm saying i'm not excusing, but i'm saying it. children in particular, young people understand young people might understand that racism that that sort of the racism that black lives matter responded to. that's thing. but i think that's one thing. but i think when comes to anti—semitism , when it comes to anti—semitism, it is harder to understand it is much harder to understand because it just it just is not visual, i guess, is what i'm saying. and so for particularly for and also for young people who haven't grown up with a memory of what happened in in war and of course, so, so many people now, i mean, i've got a neighbour who was a it was part of the holocaust. >> so those stories are fascinating. but she's in her 90s. yeah. so that's sort of fading memory, isn't it? >> yeah, it is. >> yeah, it is. >> we are going to go to the
11:26 am
covid inquiry because the that towering political figure, sadiq khan, the mayor of london, is about to give evidence. let's go over.i about to give evidence. let's go over . i think about to give evidence. let's go over. i think he's giving evidence now. we're going to go and have a listen to what he's got to say because and so forth. >> i couldn't disagree with >> so i couldn't disagree with him saying the impact on the markets so forth. my markets and so forth. my frustration for the 24 hours of this virus spreading, what impact would that have on the financial markets, on our productivity and so forth? >> it's a it's an example of, in this case, the prime minister trying to balance the health impacts against the economic impacts against the economic impacts of taking these decisions. >> we didn't get a chance to discuss it. >> well, you're right, he'd already taken that decision and told you of his decision. that's right . we see there a reference right. we see there a reference to the cobra for the next day. that was friday, the 20th of march. you attended that cobra meeting as well, did you not? >> yes, i did. yeah
11:27 am
>> yes, i did. yeah >> and it was this cobra meeting. if we look at paragraph 94 of your statement , please , 94 of your statement, please, about four lines down. you say the pm was not at this cobra meeting , which the pm was not at this cobra meeting, which i found extraordinary given the circumstances were you did you ask, were you told why the prime minister was not at that cobra meeting? i can't i can't remember . remember. >> it must have been raised by i can't remember the explanation of why he wasn't there . of why he wasn't there. >> do you remember having any reaction to whatever explanation you were given? >> it surprised me because one of the one of the huge advantages of the prime minister chairing cobra is often not unreasonably. there'll be different points of view and the prime minister, as the boss, can arbitrate on the different points of view. to paraphrase , points of view. to paraphrase, you can balance those points of view. and with respect to michael gove as the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, if there was a difference, it's quite him to
11:28 am
quite difficult for him to arbitrate and decide . although arbitrate and decide. although to give michael gove credit, he did . did. >> in any event, you can't. we may well hear from mrjohnson, may well hear from mr johnson, but you can't remember why it was that it wasn't at that meeting later on in this paragraph you describe a sort of shifting initially only a the meeting being in favour of pushing off the closure of hospitality venues into the weekend. but a counterargument being made that it should be that day at the end of the day on on that friday. that's right. and in the end that other argument the friday argument prevailing. that's right. >> this was this was this was to michael. michael gove's credit, he decided to agree with those of us lobbying for friday night rather than saturday. >> there there's one more sequence of exchanges between you and the prime minister that i want to ask you about in this
11:29 am
sort of part of the chronology, and that is a letter you wrote and that is a letter you wrote and then a call you had with him on sunday, the 22nd of march. let's look, please, at the letter first. so that is 118939. so let's remind ourselves, as i say, mr khan, this was the sunday just before the lockdown was announced. in fact , the next was announced. in fact, the next day . do you . was announced. in fact, the next day. do you . one was announced. in fact, the next day . do you . one gets the day. do you. one gets the impression from your statement you were at home on that day, but you wrote this letter from home and sent it to him by email i >> -- >> so that's sadiq khan in the covid inquiry being interviewed by one of the other lawyers. that's andrew o'connor. o'connor and he appears to be so . king and he appears to be so. king a little that he wasn't consulted by the prime minister. the prime minister was telling him what the doing. the government was doing. >> always a manner >> it can't always has a manner of silky to him, >> it can't always has a manner of he? silky to him, >> it can't always has a manner of he? we silky to him, >> it can't always has a manner of he? we seeingto him, doesn't he? we seeing a letter here that he obviously wrote. i

at the door. yeah, you and this family have been there for eight years. it's not as though they've i don't know. i mean, there's no for that. but there's no excuse for that. but they just arrived. they they haven't just arrived. they live their live there. this is their community. this is. and they have a young as well. have a young child as well. >> how terrible, how terrifying for the child and terrifying for the you want that the child would you want that your out? yeah. >> yeah. >> em- em— >> you'd be then worrying about letting your child to school letting your child go to school to school. to walk to school. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> funny, isn't >> it's funny, isn't it, matthew? in situation matthew? because in a situation like i'm like that, to some degree, i'm with police . you don't want like that, to some degree, i'm wi'overly police . you don't want like that, to some degree, i'm wi'overly criminalise don't want like that, to some degree, i'm wi'overly criminalise teenagerst to overly criminalise teenagers who something stupid kick in who do something stupid kick in a door. >> you don't want them, and they're likely be, you they're only likely to be, you know, being sent to know, they're not being sent to jail know, because jail for, you know, because they're the age. >> should be >> but maybe there should be something. there's something. it feels like there's something. it feels like there's so youth now. there so much wayward youth now. there needs a middle needs to be a middle ground. >> crime element must >> the hate crime element must be for be particularly upsetting for them because there was clearly, as mean, it was a as we heard, i mean, it was a great report jack his great report from jack in his award award winning award winning jack award winning jack. >> g m ake @ make them do some >> they should make them do some form service. form of community service. >> they do the >> that's what they do in the community. >> that's what they do in the commun crime. yes, they >> hate crime. that's yes, they do, they feel do, because they feel they've got away with it. >> matthew. they might >> yes, matthew. and they might do no, mean, so let's hope >> no, i mean, so let's hope that resolution that the community resolution
11:44 am
actually involves them confronting what were confronting what they were doing and what were and understanding what they were doing . because what can't see doing. because what we can't see is of ghettoisation is the sort of ghettoisation where community one where one community live in one area, living area, another community living in another we've very in another area. we've seen very disturbing in another area. we've seen very disturbiiin leicester, which has months in leicester, which has a sort of it's about third sort of it's about a third muslim, hindu and muslim, about a third hindu and a third white, a we've seen sort of intercom violence a lot around a lot of indian politics, around a lot of indian politics, a lot of the time between the hindu and muslim hindu and the muslim communities. that's communities. let's hope that's spreading kids spreading. we don't want kids starting that starting to sort of take that and use it to kind of divide our communities. it's worrying. >> wonder if being >> but i also wonder if being white kids abusing that family , white kids abusing that family, would the police response have been different? do we go back to what home secretary said what the home secretary said about two tier policing? i'm not saying happen, saying that would happen, but it's have it's a question you would have to question, don't you think? >> yeah, absolutely . and there >> yeah, absolutely. and there mustn't two two tier mustn't seem to be two two tier policing way . if there's policing in any way. if there's any element. doesn't any racial element. doesn't matter what from what race it spnngs matter what from what race it springs from , it must be treated springs from, it must be treated exactly the same . especially exactly the same. especially this community resolution is firm . firm. >> which brings us on to our second story. actually emma. and
11:45 am
this about immigrant this is about rising immigrant asian the far right asian fuelling the far right who's been saying this . who's been saying this. >> so this is a home office minister, laura farris, who's been saying that the hundreds of thousands migrants arriving thousands of migrants arriving in are going be in this country are going to be possibly going be the big possibly going to be the big electoral issue and that it does risk fuelling the far right and increasing that anger. and i think she's i think she has a, you know, quite a perceptive point. >> it's already an electoral issue. >> it's this is going to be probably along with the economy, it is going to be the electoral issue. and the problem is when you , know, denigrating you keep, you know, denigrating people or, you people as xenophobic or, you know, foreigner hating or racist, people are feeling the reality on the ground is that people are feeling the pressure all around us because of a lack of planning , because of a lack of planning, because of a lack of planning, because of a lack of any kind of strategy from the government. feeling government. people are feeling the on the pressure on schools, on housing, specifically on hospitals , on our health hospitals, on our health services, concerned services, and they are concerned about it. and does not make about it. and that does not make you far xenophobic far right you far xenophobic or far right or some people are now feeling they feel this is their home. >> they feel they can feel
11:46 am
alien. and then i read with incredulity, your lot, matthew, say they're going to cut immigration to 200,000. how are they going to do that? >> well, i suspect it wasn't just it a typo, 200,000. just was it a typo, 200,000. >> i think i think it wasn't >> but i think i think it wasn't just you who read it with incredulity. i think was the incredulity. i think it was the labour that it labour leadership that read it with incredulity because this was the weekend. was an interview at the weekend. darren the shadow darren jones, who's the shadow chief secretary the treasury, chief secretary to the treasury, he's never off the telly, never off the telly now because the leadership keir starmer the leadership keir starmer the leadership an leadership regard him as an absolute star. now he's leadership regard him as an abrmpte star. now he's leadership regard him as an abrmp from star. now he's leadership regard him as an abrmp from bristol. now he's leadership regard him as an abrmp from bristol andn he's leadership regard him as an abrmp from bristol and he's sort an mp from bristol and he's sort of meant to be the next big thing. on telly thing. well, he went on telly yesterday gave yesterday on the bbc and gave this slightly interview this slightly crashy interview where up, i think, where he ended up, i think, committing without not entirely, without signed without having had it signed off by labour by anybody that labour would bnng by anybody that labour would bring to bring immigration down to a couple of hundred thousand, which doable which is only doable by doing things won't things that labour won't do, which like getting rid which is things like getting rid of students , you know, of foreign students, you know, clamping foreign clamping down on foreign students and their dependents. so i think the biggest problem with this in terms of fuelling the far right is when you give promises don't meet. promises that you don't meet. i think you explain , people at think if you explain, people at least think you're being honest with you we've got
11:47 am
