9:34 am
claimed that king charles, queen camilla and william conspired to undermine harry and meghan buckingham palace have not commented on the claims. buckingham palace have not commented on the claims . as you commented on the claims. as you can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website, news.com . now back to andrew and news.com. now back to andrew and . bev >> very good morning. 934. >> very good morning. 934. >> well, it's called end game. >> well, it's called end game. >> and i think does he think maybe that's the end of the royal family because it's just some of the revelations in his book, let's say not say revelations claims in the book. he said they're scathing attacks. he's talking about charles being told that charles is a pampered royal. and he told the royals not to trust prince harry and branded him a fool over his netflix documentary. he's right about that. >> that's not really a revelation, is it? no. on prince harry, the book claims that he was kept in the dark about the late queen's death, that he could ready for
9:35 am
could be ready for reconciliation family reconciliation with his family and he doesn't care about receiving apology . receiving an apology. >> and meghan markle, she >> he and meghan markle, she reportedly king there reportedly told the king there are racists and that are two royal racists and that she does not want to return to england. well, that's a relief . england. well, that's a relief. >> well, now, just a selection of of the claims in the of some of the claims in the book. walker is here to book. cameron walker is here to talk about it with us. because the thing that always strikes me about these stories, cameron, this is guy , omid scobie, he's this is a guy, omid scobie, he's got name like a cartoon got a name like a cartoon character, and he made his living out of transferring tittle tattle that we have to believe the sources of in order to cause hatred between the royal family. i don't know how he wakes up in the morning and looks himself in the mirror. what a job. >> well, i'm sure the book is going to make a lot of money because a lot of people are going to want to read it, even if you despise harry and meghan or you despise the or even if you despise the working members the royal working members of the royal family. probably family. either way, you probably are want to know the are going to want to know the gossip. that's in this book. now, course, the omid scobie
9:36 am
now, of course, the omid scobie i suggest, has lot more i would suggest, has a lot more sources sussex of sources on the sussex side of the than the conversation rather than working members of the royal family. if of course, working members of the royal famlook if of course, working members of the royal famlook if to of course, working members of the royal famlook if to findinngse, you look back to finding freedom, the first freedom, which was the first book co—wrote , and he book which he co—wrote, and he insisted so did meghan, that insisted and so did meghan, that she collaborate with she did not collaborate with that then she to that book. but then she had to apologise to the high court for forgetting that she briefed an aide, for former aide, jason kendall, for former communications that communications secretary, that she allowed him to she that she allowed him to speak to the two journalists who wrote book. so there is wrote the book. so there is history it comes to history when it comes to collaboration and the book. >> i mean, i've not read it cover to cover cameron but cover to cover yet. cameron but there is not a it is the who comes of it with shiny halos comes out of it with shiny halos . harry and meghan in their posh place in california . it is. he place in california. it is. he is living up to his reputation. he is being used as their mouthpiece. >> if you if you read the book, harry and meghan have not put a foot wrong in omid scobie's eyes, unlike every other member of the royal family, particularly the princess of wales, comes under wales, actually, who comes under a a character a bit of a character assassination, according to robert as well, amid robert jobson as well, amid claims part time claims that she's a part time member royal family and
9:37 am
member of the royal family and also said which which some people taken real offence people have taken real offence to actually, to this morning, actually, that kate is the last shiny thing. the royal family has, which which speaks volumes . well, i which speaks volumes. well, i think he's referring to the fact that whatever kate does, she inevitably , in his eyes ends up inevitably, in his eyes ends up on the front pages of the newspapers because she looks stunning newspapers without actually doing any proper work. that's of narrative that's the kind of narrative that's portrayed the that's being portrayed in the book. what royals book. i would argue what royals have done for years. yeah. but also, argue there's also, i would argue there's a lot work going behind the lot of work going on behind the scenes her early childhood. scenes with her early childhood. these term projects, which these long term projects, which okay, not going to okay, every day, is not going to make sensationalist make the sensationalist headline. make the sensationalist headune. in make the sensationalist headline. in the long term, headline. but in the long term, it real difference. it could make a real difference. so a different way, a more so it's a different way, a more modern way a of modern way of being a member of the and meghan the so have harry and meghan come out and endorsed this book publicly, or is it just this horribly fake lack of horribly fake kind of lack of authenticity that we know that it is a proxy , a version it is a proxy, a version basically of their amazing, amazing contribution to the world, but they're not physically, you know , outwardly
9:38 am
physically, you know, outwardly endorsing it? yeah, i mean, the independent newspaper, for example, quite a centre left newspaper, says that the is an unfailingly simple aesthetic view the sussexes view towards the sussexes archewell, who is harry meghan's communications team have not commented on this book. it appears they're trying to distance from it , appears they're trying to distance from it, as distance themselves from it, as has palace and has kensington palace and buckingham palace, which but cameron , sorry to interrupt. cameron, sorry to interrupt. >> they could distance themselves saying we themselves from it by saying we disassociate public disassociate from it in a public statement. disassociate statement. we disassociate from it. we don't approve of it. this is in our name. we regret is not in our name. we regret the keeps dragging us the fact he keeps dragging us into it to profit from. into it to make profit from. they done far. they haven't done that so far. and this book's been a long time coming. already coming. it's already out in australia. >> yeah. and i would argue as well the publication well that with the publication of netflix series of spare and the netflix series and everything else, the royal family's popularity has gone up, or the same. or at least stayed the same. apart harry meghan's, apart from harry and meghan's, whose really whose popularity has really suffered the suffered both here and in the united so the victim united states. so the victim narrative which has been portrayed over the last few years duke and duchess of years as the duke and duchess of sussex appears be sussex appears to not be working. >> em— e only ones >> they're the only ones who are challenging in the challenging prince andrew in the unpopularity is
9:39 am
unpopularity stakes, which is quite an achievement, isn't it? a £11 million to a man who gave £11 million to a woman apparently couldn't woman who apparently couldn't ever meeting . ever remember meeting. >> just just. >> just just. >> interested, though, in >> i'm interested, though, in this between the this relationship between the sussexes who sussexes and omid scobie, who claimed calls himself a journalist. but do they know him? what's what's the backstory ? cameron did? wasn't she friends him ? friends with him? >> well, does actually >> well, omid does actually describe in his describe this in his book, saying he just a normal saying that he was just a normal royal reporter on the beat . i royal reporter on the beat. i suppose bit like i am and suppose a bit like i am and others are now covering not normal . better others are now covering not normal. better than others are now covering not normal . better than normal. normal. better than normal. thank thank you thank you very much. thank you very covering members very much. but covering members of royal and meeting of the royal family and meeting their he decided their courtiers. and he decided perhaps side with the younger perhaps to side with the younger members family. and members of the royal family. and then all changed when then he said it all changed when meghan on the scene and he meghan came on the scene and he decided perhaps be slightly decided to perhaps be slightly more sympathetic towards her because disagreed with because he disagreed with perhaps some of the coverage that she was receiving. and then, finding freedom then, of course, finding freedom . he found had a lot of . he found he had a lot of sources, including, it looks like. so to be able to like. so you're to be able to talk him to the book. talk to him to write the book. >> you are a royal >> so you are a royal correspondent. is that plausible? that an option plausible? is that an option that have been faced that you could have been faced with might be with
9:40 am
with or you might be faced with at some point in your career in terms of having reach out terms of having people reach out to briefing, but also to me and briefing, but also then quite clearly one then becoming quite clearly one side family, like side of the royal family, like he's side hasn't he? >> he has chosen the side and he actually says in the book a senior member of buckingham palace said he's chosen the wrong alleges, which is wrong side, he alleges, which is quite, difficult quite, quite a difficult statement. mean, i'm statement. i mean, for me, i'm in broadcast. try and keep a in broadcast. i try and keep a level head either side. level head on on either side. and you do see there are some cameron, do. but clearly cameron, you do. but clearly there people favour there are some people who favour one other. well, one side over the other. well, this is going to run and this one is going to run and run, as they say. >> cameron and sadly, it will sell very well. >> probably. yeah, >> yes, probably. i'm yeah, well, couldn't well, maybe i couldn't i couldn't. could of couldn't. i could think of 3 billion books i'd rather read before that one. i can tell you that cameron walker, cameron thank. now family thank. correspondent now family members those bereaved by the members of those bereaved by the conflict in israel and palestine are a vigil for all of are to lead a vigil for all of those suffering in the conflict in central london on sunday, december the 3rd. >> the widow of jo cox, a labour mp who was murdered by a far right extremist during the
9:41 am
referendum, understands better than toxicity of hate than most the toxicity of hate and the importance of building bndges and the importance of building bridges together bridges and coming together against violence . against violence. >> so brendan cox, the co—founder the together co—founder of the together coalition, in coalition, joins us in the studio. you, studio. lovely to see you, brendan. thank much for brendan. thank you so much for coming in. so tell us, what has led to you wanting to host this at weekend as we just said at the weekend as we just said there introduction, there in our introduction, nobody understands us better than do. consequence is than you do. the consequence is of that kind of ideology of of when that kind of ideology of hate, the volume raises on it and raises on it is that what's led you to this point? now, this vigil weekend? vigil this weekend? >> mean, i think it came >> yeah. i mean, i think it came from this upsurge amongst people, which is that that the vast majority of the debate is dominated by the loudest , most dominated by the loudest, most extreme voices. and in fact, the vast majority of the public in the have real concerns for the uk have real concerns for a civilian , an innocent civilian civilian, an innocent civilian who is israeli , who has been who is israeli, who has been killed and has got the same concern for an innocent civilian who is palestinian, who has been killed . and what we're being killed. and what we're being told time and time again is you have to take a side. there's
9:42 am
only one side and the other side is all evil. and in those moments , i guess my concern moments, i guess my concern about it was, you whip up this angen about it was, you whip up this anger, you whip up this hatred. extremists piggyback on it. they decide actually this is the fault of all jews or all muslims. and in that context, we know and i know from my experience that extremists can do incredibly extreme things. and i'm very worried about the community cohesion, cohesion in the uk. so what it's designed to do, what this day is designed to do, what this day is designed to do is to give voice to the vast majority of the public who feel the grief, whether they are palestinian, have no palestinian, israeli, have no time for anti—semitism, have no time for anti—semitism, have no time anti—muslim hatred and time for anti—muslim hatred and want to protect our communities in we need to in the uk. we don't need to import the conflict from israel—palestine into the uk. and this is led by families and so this is led by families who have lost people in palestine, led by people who've lost people in israel, saying if we can come together, if we can bury our differences and say there can be no room for hate on our streets, then we should all be able to do that as well.
9:43 am
>> it's a very radical approach, actually, because we've seen in london over the last several weekends, we have these very separate you have separate protests. you have the palestinian the palestinian protest where the mood be described, i think mood could be described, i think accurately, little bit more accurately, is a little bit more angry. been few angry. there have been a few more arrests the palestinian more arrests at the palestinian march and we had the march marches, and we had the israeli at weekend, israeli march at the weekend, which very peaceful, which israeli march at the weekend, which in very peaceful, which israeli march at the weekend, which in avery peaceful, which israeli march at the weekend, which in a spontaneous, which israeli march at the weekend, which in a spontaneous ,which israeli march at the weekend, which in a spontaneous , you h ended in a spontaneous, you know, god save the queen at the end of it. so they have quite a different energy. two very, very difficult groups of people to bnng difficult groups of people to bring yeah , bring together. brendan yeah, although vast although i think the vast majority people feel as majority of people feel as i say, feel that same sentiment, feel that togetherness in the face of it. >> and i understand, i understand why people are incredibly angry. seeing the pictures on the tv screen , pictures on the tv screen, seeing your social media feeds, if you mostly follow accounts that might be israeli, for example, the hostages , the pain example, the hostages, the pain of the massacre by the of that, the massacre by the terrorists on the 7th of october. if you mostly follow palestinian accounts, the children who are being killed in the rubble are the anger is understandable . i think what understandable. i think what we're trying to do is to say
9:44 am
that you can feel that anger. you that frustration, you can feel that frustration, but don't have turn that but you don't have to turn that into you don't to into hatred. you don't have to decide other is decide that the other side is evil. you don't have to decide that you hate muslims or that you hate all muslims or jews. vast majority of jews. and the vast majority of people do the vast people don't do that. the vast majority people will feel majority of people will feel that and feel that that empathy and feel that concern. and i think it's something all do something that we can all do something that we can all do something think too something about. i think too often in these extreme often in these moments, extreme missed piggyback the grief of missed piggyback on the grief of people who suffering, people who are suffering, whether israeli or whether they are israeli or whether they are israeli or whether they are palestinians. and try to change that grief into anger into into anger and then anger into extremism and the incredible leadership of the families who are putting together this vigil are putting together this vigil are saying is enough , not are saying enough is enough, not in our name. >> it'd be really interesting if brendan, wouldn't it, to if there was all party political support for i know this support for this. i know this is. is. there is. well, is. there is. there is. well, i was to ask you about that. was going to ask you about that. so see some senior so you'll see some senior politicians from all sides at the march. >> very much hope so. >> yes, i very much hope so. when we put this together, we had labour, liberal had conservative labour, liberal democrat mps all speaking at the beginning think this is beginning of it. i think this is something cuts across something that cuts across political parties and the
9:45 am
reality all have very reality is we can all have very different about what different views about what should what you should happen next. what you prioritise, peace prioritise, how you reach peace in the middle east. it's not a simple thing that can be slogan ized, in the midst of ized, but even in the midst of that, well, we that, we can disagree. well, we can those conversations. we can have those conversations. we can have those conversations. we can those debates. we can can have those debates. we can be each other. but be angry with each other. but that mean that anger that doesn't mean that anger needs to turn hatred and it needs to turn to hatred and it doesn't we need to doesn't mean we need to dehumanise doesn't mean we need to dehuman did you make of suella >> what did you make of suella braverman's comments about the fact police operate fact that the police operate differently? fact that the police operate differe with right protests police with far right protests and who maybe are more and those who maybe are more sort of left wing or in this situation, specifically the palestine protesters? did she have a point ? have a point? >> and i'm not an expert in policing . i think it's really policing. i think it's really important that the police are equalin important that the police are equal in their approach and that when they see the extremism and when they see the extremism and when they see terrorism or when they see incitement to violence, they see incitement to violence, they that in some they act. i know that in some cases , as for operational cases, as for operational reasons, do after the reasons, they do that after the event rather than in the event because crowd control, for because of crowd control, for example. but one of the things i've been saying is that whenever like this whenever marches like this happen , the organisers have a
9:46 am
happen, the organisers have a responsibility to tackle that extremism because there's always a lunatic fringe that attacks themselves to brexit or to remain or to palestine or to israel . and what the organisers israel. and what the organisers need to do and what all good people are part of those people who are part of those causes need to do is to distance themselves from that. i've themselves from that. so i've seen , example, had a lot seen, for example, i had a lot of were the of friends who were on the palestinian marches who were outraged that there were people who supporting hamas who were supporting hamas on them are just them because they are just humanitaren uns who want the bombing i know that bombing to stop. and i know that there israeli sorry, jewish there are israeli sorry, jewish people this country that people in this country on that march who really took a strong line against tommy robinson , for line against tommy robinson, for example, to hijack that. example, trying to hijack that. so i think we all have a responsibility, what responsibility, but what we're doing sunday at at doing on sunday at 3:00 at downing street is asking people not bring to not bring not to bring flags, to not bring placards bring themselves and placards to bring themselves and not maybe, and not masks not masks maybe, and not masks as well, and to be there together either to share the pain civilians, no matter pain of civilians, no matter what their background , what what their background, what their religion, and to say not just in israel, palestine, but even more importantly, in the uk. we can as very different
9:47 am
people who might fundamentally disagree what should disagree about what should happen next. we can live together peacefully, and if we don't do that, then the hope of that ever happening israel that ever happening in israel palestine a real kind of palestine is it's a real kind of indication. palestine is it's a real kind of indicatia1. palestine is it's a real kind of indicatia real manifestation >> it's a real manifestation actually, jo cox's legacy of actually, of jo cox's legacy of jo's legacy, that she was very much bringing much about bringing people together, and her together, wasn't she? and her famous about people famous phrase about people having in common. how how having more in common. how how hard is that for you on a personal level to keep jo's memory alive and to keep putting all of your energies into this sort of activity? jo and i worked on this kind of stuff before we worked together. >> when we met, we were working on conflicts around the world. we worked on israel palestine together. in fact, we worked on the lebanon together . we worked the lebanon together. we worked on countries around the world. and all that, as you say, and in all of that, as you say, what what jo did was to try not to sort of say on this side on that side, but actually to try to find those areas where people can agree, where people can have that commonality . and not that commonality. and that's not glib. it's one of the glib. in fact, it's one of the hardest things to one of the
9:48 am
hardest things to do. one of the easiest things to do is to believe narrative believe a simplistic narrative that the side is that the other side is completely wrong and you are completely right. but actually to see that nuance and to find those areas where people can come together , i think that's come together, i think that's where the majority of the where the vast majority of the british they're very british public are. they're very sensible, very pragmatic. they're extreme , but they're not extreme, but sometimes often their voices sometimes too often their voices are drowned out. >> she'd be the front of the >> she'd be at the front of the march. i'm pretty with march. i'm pretty sure, with you, brendan, for sunday you, brendan, on for sunday sure. can i ask you to some sure. but can i ask you to some mps, including jo's own sister, have had their offices and even their targeted by. it their homes targeted by. it doesn't side the doesn't matter which side of the extreme extremes extreme they are, but extremes on do you say on both sides. what do you say about that? i think that people who move from anger around a cause and protesting around a cause and protesting around a cause to intimidation and to violence need to be addressed by the police. >> but what they also do is they undermine their cause because what they do is they drive politicians away from engaging with them. they won't listen to those voices . so i with them. they won't listen to those voices. so i think it's counterproductive. i also think
9:49 am
in public eyes it then aligns those that do that with the extremes. and as i was saying, the british public have no time for extremes . so i think we do for extremes. so i think we do need to take it seriously because it also means for the long term, it undermines our democracy. we can't a democracy. if we can't have a safe politicians to safe place for politicians to campaign and to meet their constituents, then we're in dangen >>i dangen >> i think that's what i was just going to say. really. would you you've answered you so i think you've answered my question, which is that you wouldn't see greater wouldn't want to see greater restrictions people being restrictions on people being able to mps you able to go to mps houses. you know, america, think there know, in america, i think there are some rules around the fact that to that you can't go to a politician ann's house and knock on door like you can here. on the door like you can here. yeah, you would think that yeah, but you would think that would with would be overreach even with your history. brendan of having lost wife in those lost your wife in those circumstances. think circumstances. you still think that much? that would be too much? >> really important >> i think it's really important that don't let extremists that we don't let extremists undermine democracy and part undermine our democracy and part of enabling of our democracy is enabling people to meet their mps. i think it's much better to do that at a constituency surgery. i think it's much better to do that at the public events. but there a risk. there there is a risk. there absolutely is risk that if
9:50 am
absolutely is a risk that if that becomes too high, that risk becomes too high, i then mps will withdraw from that pubuc then mps will withdraw from that public role that they have, and that a real shame for that would be a real shame for our democracy. i think. yeah. >> what's it like? if i could ask got christmas ask you, you've got christmas coming difficult is coming up. how difficult is that? you've made a new that? i know you've made a new life have a new wife. life now you have a new wife. but christmas without joe must be very must have very but christmas without joe must be verforrust have very but christmas without joe must be verfor years ave very but christmas without joe must be verfor years for very but christmas without joe must be verfor years for and your tough for years for you and your kids. yeah. >> yeah, it was. i mean, in fact, we've just been going through old christmas videos of joe kids at their joe with the kids at their various various various stages, singing various christmas songs, and they were three and five when you lost joe yeah, they were three. they were three and five. but i think that, you know, i'm very lucky. my that, you know, i'm very lucky. my kids are incredibly resilient and incredibly still full of joe's love and her empathy and they're certainly the thing that has kept me going ever since, ever since she she was killed. but also, i think that signal of hope. so they don't have a sort of shred of hate in them. they don't at a harbour, a sort of
9:51 am
deep and underlying resentment. they treat people as they come and they, i think, are and this christmas will just be looking forward, as all kids will to be what's in what comes down the what's in what comes down the what comes down the chimney . what comes down the chimney. thank you. >> can i just ask you about because obviously there are people there will be people watching who feel watching this who who feel disillusioned their life at disillusioned with their life at the moment. maybe people who were here who see that were born here who see that there were 750,000 net migration last year, who feel that their life is not what it should be and that people arrive here and they get given a house and they get given benefits and they get put in a hotel and that that's where some of that resentment and that comes from. what where some of that resentment would you say those people ? would you say to those people? >> well, think people are >> well, i think people who are angry status quo and angry about the status quo and i think lots of people are in many cases right to be. so i think there's of things to be there's lots of things to be furious country furious about in our country from homelessness poverty to from homelessness to poverty to inequality to injustice . so inequality to injustice. so i think it is totally
9:52 am
understandable. the question is how you channel that and what do you do about it. and it is completely legitimate to campaign for change, to campaign in the example that you were giving to bring down figures giving to bring down the figures on immigration, to change the way that migrants are assimilate into society you can campaign for that is completely legitimate. what isn't legitimate. what isn't legitimate is to drive hatred against those individuals and to blame them. whole groups of people for the actions of minorities or for the perceptions of actions of minorities . and as long as we minorities. and as long as we hold that line , i think we can hold that line, i think we can have an incredibly vibrant democracy where people can be passionate, people can actively disagree, where they want to disagree, where they can want to change and want change the government and want it radical different it to have a radical different policy, respect each policy, but still respect each other's humanity. and that is what the vast majority of the uk pubuc what the vast majority of the uk putlsn't part of the problem, of >> isn't part of the problem, of course, that and course, that politics and democracy is dependent on people being because we have being divided because we have a conservative party that's asking people to think one way and you will have a labour party asking the public to think another way and pitching for that vote on
9:53 am
the of the fact that the very basis of the fact that they say we are they have to say we are different that lot. how do we different to that lot. how do we square in this conversation ? >> 7- >> yeah, i ? >> yeah, i mean, i think 7 >> yeah, i mean, i think that's a a big question. it a that's a big question. it might be above my pay grade. but but i think that the way that our system works our political system works actually ways be actually in some ways can be quite positive tend quite positive because you tend to from the middle. to win politics from the middle. in uk. so when the labour in the uk. so when the labour party went off to the far left under jeremy it became under jeremy corbyn, it became unelectable. the unelectable. when the conservative party has been off to right, it has been to the far right, it has been unelectable and therefore the way our political system works is to create those is you have to create those coalitions and aim coalitions in the middle and aim for that voter in middle. for that voter in the middle. and i what that tends and i think what that tends to do it means we don't sway do is it means we don't sway from one extreme to the other. and think that's that's a and i think that's that's a positive thing. but lots this positive thing. but lots of this isn't about politics. it's about us. what we all do. us. it's about what we all do. it's what your viewers do. it's about what your viewers do. and think the most and i think one of the most powerful things from this, when we're thinking the current we're thinking about the current context there's we're thinking about the current contways there's we're thinking about the current contways you there's we're thinking about the current contways you canthere's we're thinking about the current contways you can respond to two ways that you can respond to this stuff. one is to try and pour petrol on the on the flames
9:54 am
to say that your side is always right and the other side is always evil. and the most powerful thing that i see on social media in particular is when somebody might agree with the cause. they might a hard the cause. they might be a hard core brexiteer, but they might challenge when their challenge somebody when their language far and starts language goes too far and starts to spread racism . somebody might to spread racism. somebody might be a hard core remainer, but another remainer challenge them when they call all brexiteers racists. so it's that that that stuff within our communities is if we all challenge that, if we all enforce good behaviour , all enforce good behaviour, that's the thing that will have a real impact on how our politics plays out and wouldn't it help, brendan, if the big media giants, facebook and the like cleaned up social media because it is a cesspit, frankly, and it promotes and spreads hate 100? and not just that, i think one of the problems that we often have here is that there are media organisations that not only in social media organisations that not only say that they are a platform , yes, but they actively
9:55 am
platform, yes, but they actively propagate hate. the most extreme views , if you look at the way views, if you look at the way that the algorithm works, it promotes the most extreme content. if you go onto twitter now, for example, the most extreme , if you put in extreme, if you put in israel—palestine, it will be the most extreme voices because they're ones that get the they're the ones that get the engagement. they're the ones that get clicks. and as long that get the clicks. and as long as have that, dangerous as we have that, it's dangerous because people, it because it drives people, it drives conversation to drives the conversation to extremes. said that , extremes. now, having said that, again, the vast majority of the british public are incredibly sensible and they those sensible and they see those extremes and don't like extremes and they don't like them they withdraw from it. them or they withdraw from it. and vast majority of and you see the vast majority of the somewhere the posts on somewhere like twitter people that twitter are from people that represent tiny minority of the represent a tiny minority of the views . we just need to, as this views. we just need to, as this vigil will, i hope on sunday at 3:00 outside street. i 3:00 outside downing street. i hope like that will hope moments like that will provide an opportunity for the mainstream voices to come to the fore. >> i hope you get a huge turnout, brendan, thank you very much. deserve to. it's great much. you deserve to. it's great to see you and we will put the details the on the gb details of the vigil on the gb news as well so people news website as well so people want to go and get the details.

10:02 am
whether they can extend again. >> if they don't extend again and again. it's the more liberal wing of the israeli media. they're speculating that they may not get the remaining hostages out at all. my a planned meeting between rishi sunak and the greek prime minister has been abruptly called off. >> it's understood that downing street had been assured that kyriakos mitsotakis wouldn't raise the matter of the elgin marbles , which is a sensitive marbles, which is a sensitive diplomatic issue for greece in the uk . mr mitsotakis and his the uk. mr mitsotakis and his team were reportedly left baffled , surprised and annoyed baffled, surprised and annoyed by the sudden cancellation he was offered a meeting with the deputy prime minister, oliver dowden. instead, however, he opted for a flight home shop price inflation has eased for the sixth month in a row as retailers compete fiercely for customers ahead of christmas, according to the british retail consortium shop prices were 4.3% higher than last november , down higher than last november, down from october's 5.2% and the lowest inflation since last

10:06 am
that have the highest rates because there doesn't seem to be the same on this. but in the same focus on this. but in this place today, we are discussing legislation about crime justice. s that crime and about justice. s that is completely silent on retail. that's a real failing. so i will and my colleagues will be trying to into the bill. to add that back into the bill. the government listen the government needs to listen and work us on that that and work with us on that so that we tackle this scourge. we can tackle this scourge. >> 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 andrew and . bev to andrew and. bev >> good morning. it's just after 10:00 on tuesday morning as you've been getting in touch at home. thank you so much for your emails. a lot of you reacting to the interview we just did with brendan cox. clive says, what's an amazing this an amazing interview this morning cox's husband? so morning by jo cox's husband? so much common spoken. it much common sense spoken. it warmed . john has also warmed my heart. john has also said about the vigil at the weekend, which brendan cox was on here to promote. he said no

flags. fat chance it will be a sea of black, green, white and red. well, that is, i hope that is wrong because i hope so. >> and but they definitely shouldn't be any masks. >> no, absolutely. and robert said there is no doubt whatsoever people's minds whatsoever in people's minds that tier policing. that we have two tier policing. this because we asked this was because we asked brendan thinks the brendan whether he thinks the right wing as far right as they're often described , are they're often described, are police differently. and that's particularly what suella braverman when was home braverman said when she was home secretary doubt in my secretary there's no doubt in my mind two mind that people we have two tier policing. we've seen it with recent marches with with the recent marches and with the marches compared to the the blm marches compared to the marches patriots want to marches of patriots who want to protect our protect and preserve our country's etcetera. country's values, etcetera. controversial and well, let's hope there's no trouble on sunday, because that would be unforgivable. >> yeah, absolutely. peace rally. >> it really is. and talk >> it really is. and also talk about the royal book that neither well you might read it will you read it? >> look, yeah, i'm a staunch royalist, as you know. i couldn't bear the alternate give to the house of windsor. could you really president blair? you really bear president blair? no and lady sherry or no and first lady sherry or president boris? no, thanks. but i think you can like the royal
10:08 am
family without having to read this load of can't you? this load of tosh, can't you? >> and i think. >> but and i think. >> but and i think. >> look, it's being described as revelations. i think we should refer to as allegations revelations. i think we should refer to ons allegations revelations. i think we should refer to on what gations revelations. i think we should refer to on what basisis revelations. i think we should refer to on what basis do we have because on what basis do we have this? because but it's going to sell well, it's been the reviews in the united states where, of course, they'd be expected to be far popular, are already devastating. >> well, david has said, why do gb news not ask the good people of sussex if harry and meghan are doing job of are doing a good job of representing them? you are in representing them? if you are in sussex morning, want sussex this morning, do you want them to be your duke and duchess? >> i'm sure you don't actually know quite, but. but of course those were the gift of those titles were in the gift of the late queen, so they'll stay those titles were in the gift of the lthem, een, so they'll stay those titles were in the gift of the lthem, ien, so they'll stay those titles were in the gift of the lthem, i guess. :hey'll stay with them, i guess. >> . so as we're saying, >> right. so as we're saying, end game this has been end game this book has been released morning. it's the released this morning. it's the latest from the latest biography from the journalist there journalist omid scobie. there are scathing the are some scathing attacks on the royal from meghan's royal family from meghan's claims racism to the king's claims of racism to the king's odd habits. odd ironing habits. >> book is packed >> the book is packed with gossip. going talk gossip. so we're going to talk now former royal now to the former royal correspondent the sun, the correspondent of the sun, the legend charles rea. legend that is charles rea. charles, i'm going read charles, i'm just going to read you couple of things from the
10:09 am
you a couple of things from the book and your response. so book and get your response. so it the king is a flawed it says, the king is a flawed father, a philandering husband. he destroyed the life of princess diana. everyone knows he might have preferred life as camilla's tampon. he was he's he's a pampered prince. he's an ageing king. he's unpopular, peevish , jealousy, son and heir. peevish, jealousy, son and heir. oh and he demands flunkies iron his shoelaces. that's in the first six pages. charles, the first six pages. charles, the first six pages. charles, the first six pages. >> and it goes downhill from then on. uh some of those allegations as you well know, andrew, we've heard before. so so there's nothing new in those in those allegations about him betraying princess diana and everything else . uh, but i mean , everything else. uh, but i mean, look, andrew, you and i have both seen dozens and dozens of royal books come along at various times. some of them authored, some of them unauthored, some of them just plain made up. i would put this omid scobie book in the third
10:10 am
category because some of the things he's saying in there are plainly ridiculous. i mean, one brief example he raises the hoary old chestnut again of a shining light in the paris tunnel, which resulted in the death of the princess of wales. he doesn't mention the drunk driver . and the he doesn't mention the drunk driver. and the shining light has been disgraced all the way through . through. >> there was a sirjohn stevens . >> there was a sir john stevens. now lord stevens did what was how many pages was that report, charles, into the death of diana? 786. and he completely junked comprehensively the conspiracy theories. he was killed. they were killed because that man who was driving the car was drunk and he'd had a cocktail of drugs . cocktail of drugs. >> and omid scobie also says that william is prioritised his loyalty to the monarchy. well, shock, horror . he's the prince shock, horror. he's the prince of wales is going to be king. of course, he's going to prioritise his loyalty to the monarchy.
10:11 am
he's going to rule it one day. uh i mean, and the attacks he makes on various people and particularly the princess of wales. i mean , i just find wales. i mean, ijust find utterly disgraceful . beth mead utterly disgraceful. beth mead is a great word, which is probably the only one. broadcastable is tosh. the whole thing is complete and utter tosh. >> do you think just so, do you think the fact, the criticism, the intense, almost misogynistic attacks on on the princess of wales reflect perhaps what meghan thinks of her sister in law? because we know this is all coming from harry and meghan, because they're the only royals in the book who come out well , in the book who come out well, undoubtedly that's what meghan thinks of catherine. >> there's no question about that. and just on that point, both the sussexes and omid scobie have said that they didn't cooperate with this book, and that's what they said when he wrote finding freedom and then they were forced to admit, yes, there was cooperation. charleton now, if harry and
10:12 am
meghan did not directly give this guy quotes, then he went to people who they say who are friends of harry and meghan's and who got authorised by the couple to speak to ometsuke bob. it's the old trick . you know as it's the old trick. you know as well as i do. it's the old trick . you can lift your hands up and say, i didn't cooperate. i didn't cooperate. but okay, i'll let a couple of people you know, give a few quotes to him. >> we're getting lots of messages from our audience, getting in touch saying, margaret's, i certainly won't be reading this rubbish . kevin reading this rubbish. kevin harry probably says there are three people in this marriage and meghan scobie and me are particular our viewers. they're not warming to the idea of reading this this book. i mean, who who reads it? charles who would want to read it ? well would want to read it? well unfortunately, like andrew, i'm probably going to have to read it as well . it as well. >> so there will be there will be a market for it. there is no question. there's no question about it. you see, it's scobie
10:13 am
himself has already said in an interview that the extracts we have seen published in some of the newspapers have all been taken out of context. well that is an absolutely incredible statement for him to make because they were taken from the serialisation in paris—match , serialisation in paris—match, which he authorised . uh, so all which he authorised. uh, so all of this is just ridiculous for him to say so. and i, i actually think the british people cannot be conned like this by this sort of book from a man who, in my opinion , in i've never heard of opinion, in i've never heard of until about 3 or 4 years ago. so ihave until about 3 or 4 years ago. so i have no idea what his pedigree is and what he knows about the royals or who he knows in the royals. i'll be staggered if there is anyone in buckingham palace or kensington palace who is guy, anything , is feeding this guy, anything, does this mean the prospect of any form of rapprochement between harry and his father and brother is now completely dead and buried? >> charles oh, andrew, it's been dead embedded for some time.
10:14 am
>> let's not forget that. what was two weeks ago, we were being told by the meghan and harry camp that they would accept an invitation to sandringham at christmas . and two days later, christmas. and two days later, all this stuff comes out about this book. i mean, i don't know what planet, honestly, harry and meghan are on. uh, there is no question that there will be any reconciliation between harry and meghan and other members of the royal family. can you imagine? it christmas dinner sitting around a table with harry and meghan, camilla, william , meghan, camilla, william, catherine. it'sjust meghan, camilla, william, catherine. it's just plain ridiculous. and some commentators have been saying , commentators have been saying, yeah, it's likely to be an olive branch. well, this is some olive branch. well, this is some olive branch. it's more like an oak tree. >> yeah, absolutely . thank you, >> yeah, absolutely. thank you, charles. charles rea they're giving us these brilliant insight into all of that other revelations from this book, the princess of wales, apparently , princess of wales, apparently, catherine is terrified of doing anything other than grinning
10:15 am
photo opportunities . anything other than grinning photo opportunities. um, apparently, king charles called harry a fool over netflix, but he's right about that . i would he's right about that. i would have thought he called him a little bit stronger than that. and the idea that charles has to have his shoelaces ironed, well , have his shoelaces ironed, well, you know, i wrote when i was doing the rugby on the times 15, 20 years ago, i wrote about that, about how that story wasn't true. >> know is true. >> we do know is true. >> we do know is true. >> it's the story. on one occasion, one of his aides did make air force. it did put toothpaste on the then prince of wales's toothbrush. but to be fair to charles, he he broken his elbow or his arm. so he was in a sling. and it was i think it was his right arm. and he simply i couldn't put toothpaste on my toothpaste with my left hand. i struggle, doesn't he isn't there a there is an ironing story. >> there's royal ironing >> there's a royal ironing story. the royal who takes story. who's the royal who takes prince andrew takes tattered prince andrew takes his tattered ironing around the prince andrew takes his tattered ironingwith around the prince andrew takes his tattered ironingwith him. around the world with him. >> does. i've seen it with my >> he does. i've seen it with my own eyes his suite in own eyes in his suite in singapore . singapore. >> it's weird, isn't it? why would you take your ironing
10:16 am
board you it on board everywhere? you take it on the and puts it in? the aeroplane and puts it in? yeah, does. yeah, he does. >> with his zachary to do >> along with his zachary to do the although doesn't >> along with his zachary to do the much although doesn't >> along with his zachary to do the much travelling 1h doesn't >> along with his zachary to do the much travelling now. doesn't >> along with his zachary to do the much travelling now. rightl't >> along with his zachary to do the much travelling now. right on do much travelling now. right on that we'll have a that bombshell we we'll have a change of gear but we do want to know thoughts morning. know your thoughts this morning. >> gbviews@gbnews.com right. so the israel—hamas >> gbviews@gbnews.com right. so the now. israel—hamas >> gbviews@gbnews.com right. so the now. moresrael—hamas >> gbviews@gbnews.com right. so the now. more hostagesnas >> gbviews@gbnews.com right. so the now. more hostages have truce now. 11 more hostages have been hamas overnight been released by hamas overnight and arrived into israel. >> and it comes just hours before the four day truce between israel hamas due between israel and hamas is due to sides have to expire. both sides have agreed to this two day extension. well we're joined now by reporter by gb news reporter charlie peters the latest. peters to give us the latest. >> so 11 hostages were released last night, three of them mothers and eight children, many of them siblings , is of them siblings, is a significant step forward as this truce enters its fifth day, as the israeli side had complained about families being split up, in some cases , though, there in some cases, though, there have been situations where all of the fathers have been left behind. some of the fathers of those children's those children released have also been killed on the october seventh attacks. now looking forward into the
10:17 am
next part of this two day truce, a list is likely to be released later of the next 10 or 11 israeli hostages to be released in exchange for 30 more palestinian prisoners. last night, one of the palestinian prisoners released was a 16 year old called nafas hamad, who had been a charged with attempted murder in 2021 for trying to stab to death her neighbour in the west bank. but questions remain on how they will deliver for more of those hostages. hamas into the israeli side . one hamas into the israeli side. one of the hostages they released last night was a 12 year old boy assigned perhaps that they are running out of the women and children that they had promised to release first. but turning our attention now to the future operations , it's likely that if operations, it's likely that if this truce continues further into the week , it could end on into the week, it could end on friday, that of the reports coming out of israel that the commanders want it to end by then. last night, defence minister yoav galant said that
10:18 am
when the fighting resumes , there when the fighting resumes, there will be greater force and their forces will be throughout the strip. at the moment there in the north north of gaza city where they've contained and a lot of the territory. but to move further south, they will have to push past deir al—balah, an have significant an area they have significant bombarded move into bombarded and move into a location in the southern gaza strip, where there are some 2.3 million civilian jews to keep them safe. they've pushed them into the south—west, into a humanitarian camp called al—mawasi . it's just 14km2 al—mawasi. it's just 14km2 large. it will have a population density, 40% greater than that of central london. khan younis is also where many of the hostages are likely being kept. we know that hamas are still holding to on a ten month old baby and there are reports coming out at the moment that hamas is struggling to locate some of the many some 200 hostages that they have kept within the gaza strip. there are reports that that ten month old baby could be being held by a rival faction such as the
10:19 am
palestinian islamic jihad. so the israeli forces, they need to push south if they are to complete their second objective, which is the destruction of the hamas military capabilities. however that'll be a significantly more restricted operation than their first moves into the gaza city and north gaza. that is more open ground and there are fewer civilians. but having moved some 1.1 million into the south and with more heavily restricted urban terrain, that operation won't be the size that we saw in the last month, where there were four armoured divisions moving into north gaza. it's likely we'll also see less bombardment . but also see less bombardment. but regardless of what happens next and this truce ends, it's and when this truce ends, it's highly likely that the idf will be looking to move their forces into that restricted southern territory . territory. >> a superb charlie peters , >> a superb charlie peters, thank you so much for bringing us that very in—depth, up to date analysis the situation. date analysis of the situation. now, still to come this morning, the best the creators of the best christmas ad, they're going to join us. we played it to you

lump sum of £655. now, mr sunak, the prime minister says , says the prime minister says, says a fair deal for consultants and for taxpayers and crucially for patients because he knows that 1.2 million operations have been cancelled. so far because of the trouble in the nhs all this yeah trouble in the nhs all this year. 7.8 million of us waiting for operations on the nhs. that's too great. there's a political need to get this down because don't forget one of the pm's targets for this year is to bnng pm's targets for this year is to bring down nhs waiting list. well, that's nowhere near happening. in fact, it's gone up by quite lot. nurses aren't by quite a lot. nurses aren't happy. by quite a lot. nurses aren't happy . professor nicola granger . happy. professor nicola granger. she's from the rcn , says nursing she's from the rcn, says nursing staff are appalled that ministers have found the political will to refer to offer pay political will to refer to offer pay for some of their highest earners in the nhs, while its members are left with the lowest pay members are left with the lowest pay rise in the public sector. so you're absolutely right . so you're absolutely right. while viewers might think give nurses more, the politics might be let's get those waiting lists down for patients. and that's
10:26 am
why maybe the consultants have got a better deal. that's politics. >> andrew and bev chris and how significant is it that there's a new secretary of state for health there who took over in the reshuffle, victoria atkins, where had been? where steve barclay had been? that's the talk, the that's right. the talk, the talks with the consultants were completely stonewalled he completely stonewalled when he was health secretary >> that's right . steve barclay >> that's right. steve barclay was known to be someone who was very tough on spending. a former chief secretary of the treasury, he walked out. he's now environment secretary. he walked he walked out. he's now env past,ent secretary. he walked he walked out. he's now env past, as secretary. he walked he walked out. he's now env past, as vickytary. he walked he walked out. he's now env past, as vicky atkins,�* walked he walked out. he's now env past, as vicky atkins, ofalked out past, as vicky atkins, of course, is now the health secretary, a name, new face secretary, a new name, new face and idea of new way of and new idea of new way of doing, of new approach to doing, of new approach maybe to negotiations. don't know negotiations. we don't know that's but may the that's the case, but may be the case. and also, we have had the autumn statement money autumn statement out. more money was it ? and maybe was found, wasn't it? and maybe that's more money found that that's more money was found that way gradually, slowly way with the gradually, slowly improving this is improving economy. but this is politic . yes, they need to get politic. yes, they need to get patients treated , get operations patients treated, get operations done. consultants hold the done. the consultants hold the key that. they've a big key for that. they've got a big pay key for that. they've got a big pay rise. >> what's she like? victoria atkins . chris, you might know atkins. chris, you might know her as well, do you?
10:27 am
>> a bit. >> a bit. >> it's a big, big job. health secretary is enormous shoes to fill. qualities does she fill. what qualities does she bnng fill. what qualities does she bring to that position ? bring to that position? >> i think she brings a lot of understanding. she's she's got a nice way with people. she might be less not saying steve bartlett is confrontational, but a different way of talking often. i think that she's got a different touch, a different way of communicating with people and just i think changing the cast of can often unblock of this can often unblock intransigent positions and the government has to do something. so i think to be welcomed. so i think it's to be welcomed. it has happened. let's hope it's not inflationary. as andrew said at what at the start there, because what we inflation to we don't want is inflation to start up. it fell by start ticking up. it fell by 2.1, didn't it, start ticking up. it fell by 2.1, didn't it , just in in 2.1, didn't it, just in in october that that gave mr sunak a win on his target for this year. a win on his target for this year . let's hope he won't start year. let's hope he won't start going up in the new year. >> chris, let me just ask you one more question. rishi sunak getting into a bit of bother about some marbles this morning as . and now as he rejected as well. and now as he rejected as well. and now as he rejected a meeting with the president of greece so he doesn't have to
10:28 am
discuss the elgin marbles, why am i to do that discuss the elgin marbles, why am ito do that ? am i to do that? >> well, the idea had been to meet with the greek premier about 1245 today. now the greek premier had an interview with laura kuenssberg on the bbc on on sunday. number 10, we were informed that the issue of the marbles these are elgin marbles held by the british museum and their return to athens would not be raised. it's a perennial issue going going on for decades. it was raised, the greek premier said. in fact, it's like having half the mona lisa share between the british museum the louvre cut in museum and the louvre cut in half. that's how it feels for greek people. that really annoyed the government. then the greek premier met with keith sir keir starmer last night. the reports in greece that sir keir starmer is looking for a legal solution to this issue, maybe to lend them out, lend them out. at that point, i think the tories felt, well, cut and run. the meeting was cancelled. they offered up dowden, the offered up oliver dowden, the deputy minister and deputy prime minister and that was as affront to the was seen as an affront to the
10:29 am
greece. greeks went home greece. and the greeks went home and here and they didn't appear here beanng and they didn't appear here bearing gifts to use some more classical issues. we've been shouting at the cabinet as they've left. have you lost your marbles? can the marbles come back? it's a classic. some would say maybe a distracting issue . say maybe a distracting issue. for me, it shows that the election full on the row election is full on the row about the elgin marbles is a classic election issue. what would a labour government do? what would government what would a tory government do? for further wedge for me it's further it's a wedge issue tory party. even issue for the tory party. even a small one. >> okay. thank you, chris. christopher hope they're down downing rishi downing street. i think rishi sunak that sunak should have had that meeting. tells you that he meeting. it tells you that he likes avoid the difficult likes to avoid the difficult conversations. likes to avoid the difficult con it rsations. likes to avoid the difficult conit does.1s. >> it does. >> it does. >> does the view >> it does reinforce the view that people he be that some people that he can be petulant and of course what what the labour leader is saying is that they could go on loan to athens. of course a lot of athens. but of course a lot of people once go on loan people say once they go on loan to athens, they'll never come back. not, as back. well and probably not, as are well, we've had a are they. well, we've had them a long 1805. long time, 1805. >> they had them before >> i think they had them before us. they did. us. yes, they did. >> and course, you know, >> so and of course, you know, who's architect of this who's the architect of this plan? it's that man, george
10:30 am
osborne, who was chancellor of the exchequer david the exchequer under david cameron, the exchequer under david can british the exchequer under david canbritish museum. and knowing the british museum. and knowing george as i do, he wants to make a himself in history as a name for himself in history as the who the marbles back the one who got the marbles back to and it's infuriated to greece. and it's infuriated many his former tory colleagues. >> oh, right. let us know your thoughts. vaiews@gbnews.com. should back the should we be giving back the elgin or not? and what elgin marbles or not? and what doesit elgin marbles or not? and what does it tell you about the prime minister and potentially the future prime minister? they are handung future prime minister? they are handling it quite differently. i think there's more to that story than maybe just meets. i think rishi didn't want meet rishi sunak didn't want to meet him headlines will him because the headlines will write won't they, write themselves, won't they, about marbles, about him losing his marbles, marbles, exactly. right. closed borders. according to a new poll, of people are poll, the majority of people are in of a five year freeze in support of a five year freeze on immigration and taught trump get bumped. >> have itv bosses. how dare they cut our very own nigel farage out of the jungle having conversations about the next president ? president? >> he's definitely getting limited airtime at the moment. that and much more after your morning's news with tatiana

10:50 am
uk . it's not higher so that we uk. it's not higher so that we could have better absorb mass migration of the last 20 years. that's altogether is 53% brexit voters is 79% concur. conservatives 78. labour voters 35. remainers 35. interesting. tonya shows a real well, it's not really a revelation, is it? but the political division between those who want more migration and those who don't. >> workers 62. >> workers 62. >> workers, 62. >> workers, 62. >> i mean , this this mass >> i mean, this this mass immigration that we've got is just undermining our british workers. it's undermining everything about what we need in britain. it's completely undermined our trust in our government first and foremost. i mean, brexit, the main thing about brexit was to get immigration under control so we can have a decent pay for our workers. i mean , of course we workers. i mean, of course we will always need talented people to come in, but those people are not the ones coming into this country that's biggest country and that's the biggest problem. always need problem. we will always need brain and engineer
10:51 am
brain surgeons and engineer teachers and that type of worker to come in because you need to keep the brain gap going. but what's happening here is that people are not getting to work and it can disrupt, fortunately undermines the non—graduate work. people in this country and the workforce for this country. so i you know, i don't know how we're going to stop this, but, you know , it sounds better than you know, it sounds better than rwanda to me. well, not this is the other thing . the other thing. >> i mean, hang on. >> i mean, hang on. >> hang on. how are we going to stop? because your bloke on the broadcast round the other day, nigel darren jones, said labour were cut it to 200,000 were going to cut it to 200,000 without giving a single idea how he it. what is he was going to do it. what is he, ? he, cinderella? >> the ways you do it is >> one of the ways you do it is to make sure that british workers weren't undercut by foreign that one. foreign workers. that is one. that's one of yeah , that's that's one part of yeah, that's one labour policy . as one part of labour policy. as far particular idea far as this particular idea goes, it's completely off the planet of anyone seriously thought could do it, you'd thought we could do it, you'd end up with gdp would go down, inflation would go up, you'd have longer hospital waiting
10:52 am
lists . and universities would be lists. and universities would be struggling to actually make ends meet because those are all the everything is actually interlinked. you can't take immigration in isolation . you've immigration in isolation. you've got to take the effect it has on the economy. >> but nigel, universities , for >> but nigel, universities, for example, which is one of my real bugbears, they're a broken system relying on foreign system that's relying on foreign students coming over and feeding them they are broken. so them when they are broken. so maybe if we have all maybe if we didn't have all these foreign students coming oven these foreign students coming over, universities would be forced fix their system forced to fix their system because we about about the because we got about about the lack nurses , 47,000 vacancies lack of nurses, 47,000 vacancies in nursing, 150,000. >> there are 52,000 vacancies in social care. if you stop if you if you followed this kind of idea and you stopped immigration in its tracks, we would never be able to fill those posts. so would you carry on at the rate of 700,000 a year, which is what i think what you need is don't set a cap on these things. make the whole thing properly flexible. so you take people in as the economy needs them . so at
10:53 am
as the economy needs them. so at the moment, most of these figures are being fuelled by the health and social care visas because we need those people really desperately and then they bnngin really desperately and then they bring in several dependents . bring in several dependents. >> yes, maybe this should be a limit on the amount of dependents you bring if dependents you can bring in if you're to social care. >> well, i mean, again, that's that's part of the flexibility thing. it depends on its recruiting. like recruiting recruiting. it's like recruiting for if need to for any job if you need to attract there. and that attract people there. and that relies on dependence coming in, then that would be part of your package. >> if we got some of the people on benefits into work that would mean we wouldn't need so many. well, in which case then. then the work shy. yeah. well there are plenty of them. >> well, there are plenty of them or not. we certainly know that million sick that 2 million people are sick and work at the and unable to work at the moment. probably would work. moment. who probably would work. but that's where you get nhs waiting down and these are waiting list down and these are the get nhs the people who will get nhs waiting down because they waiting lists down because they fill that at the moment. >> part of the problem we have such long waiting is such a long waiting list is because had 750,000 people
10:54 am
because we've had 750,000 people who arrived here. net last year, many them free many of them for whom free health care is just free. health care is just not free. >> oh, on. no, no, no, no. >> oh, hang on. no, no, no, no. n-s— >> oh, hang on. no, no, no, no. it's not free. these people pay over £1,000 on the nhs. immigration surcharge to actually access the nhs. so it's not free. >> you're never going to convince him. >> tanya and nigel, thanks for now . up next, we're >> tanya and nigel, thanks for now. up next, we're going to be debating whether there is racism in the royal family based on the revelations, this revelations, allegations in this book. anywhere . book. don't go anywhere. >> morning. i'm alex >> good morning. i'm alex deakin. this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. plenty of frosty mornings and sunny days for the rest of this week, but there is the potential for a little bit of snow as well. we could well some snow later could well see some snow later today across northeast scotland. could well see some snow later toda showers northeast scotland. could well see some snow later toda showers coming st scotland. could well see some snow later toda showers coming in scotland. could well see some snow later todashowers coming in here and. the showers coming in here turning increasingly to sleet and snow , even levels. and snow, even to lower levels. the rain shower scattered the odd rain shower scattered about some grazing about elsewhere. some grazing the coast of wales , the odd the west coast of wales, the odd one the midlands this one over the midlands this morning , pushing south. but for morning, pushing south. but for many dry and a bright day many it's a dry and a bright day out there sunny spells, out there with sunny spells, winds bit lighter than winds a bit lighter than yesterday still yesterday as well. but it still feels across the

11:10 am
to that. to be discussing that. >> already been saying >> you've already been saying we've better things worry we've got better things to worry about than the marbles. about than the than the marbles. i a lot of people say i think a lot of people say that. anyway, we're going to that. but anyway, we're going to get little while get on to that a little while later. so, first of all, later. right. so, first of all, this this book we've been talking game, it's talking about, end game, it's spilling beans apparently spilling the beans apparently over family including spilling the beans apparently over that amily including spilling the beans apparently over that meghan:luding allegations that meghan named two the royal two members of the royal household who she took household who she claims took part conversation sessions part in conversation sessions about colour of her unborn about the colour of her unborn child skin. about the colour of her unborn chi|so kin. about the colour of her unborn chi|so could the royals be >> so could the royals be racist? we're joined now by showbiz reporter stephanie takyi and anti—racist actress iman ltns to debate it. welcome to you both. you're both very well known to viewers on our program . known to viewers on our program. who start with first, who should we start with first, stephanie, do you stephanie, to you, what do you make these that must make about these that we must say allegations in this book? >> yes, andrew and bev. i don't think the royals are racist because i think, you know, in order to be racist, you need to have specific examples where someone has really attacked the colour of someone's skin or made a very defamatory comment about
11:11 am
someone's race. and i don't think that's the case here. i think that's the case here. i think what's happened from back with the oprah interview we've had these unnamed royals who've made specific comments about archie's skin colour. to be honest, that's more a kind of thing anyone would be kind of, you know, a bit curious to know what colour is this . most cases what colour is this. most cases with children when they're about to be born. so i think until we name who these royals are and what these specific incidents are, we cannot say they are racist . racist. >> de—man just respond to that. is it okay for a royal to have said, i wonder how dark this baby's skin will be? >> no so good afternoon or good morning. >> good morning you. >> good morning you. >> good morning to you and thank you for your point. i appreciate that you said that people need to give specific examples in terms of racism. well i'll be honest, with all due respect, i think you're actually referring to overt racism where specific examples are needed. right. so
11:12 am
our our frame of reference in this country is overt racism, obvious, deliberate forms of racial prejudice. and so this is why it's quite easy to lead with the rationale, which is i need to have a very clear cut. amazing obvious example of racism . so i think what you're racism. so i think what you're actually referring to, stephanie , is overt racism. i think in this particular context, we're actually talking about two things covert racism and internalised racism . so now internalised racism. so now covert racism as you know, you've heard the microaggressions. i've definitely i've seen you about, you know, about the term microaggressions, right? they're flung every flung about all day, every day. and reason is because and the reason why is because it's thing, right? we it's a normal thing, right? we just get these kind of subtle behaviour in to racial behaviour in regards to racial prejudice. don't think you prejudice. so i don't think you need anything obvious and clear cut because racism is cut because covert racism is very subtle think that's very subtle and i think that's what we're to in terms what we're referring to in terms of sorry, internalise racism. it can actually be broken down into three so firstly , three points. so firstly, colourism right. stephanie i'm going to talk to you on a racial bafis going to talk to you on a racial basis right now. black woman to black woman. tell me if i'm wrong, honest to god. tell me if
11:13 am
i'm wrong. colourism which is basically the idea that certain skin tones are more desirable than others . and this is in than others. and this is in terms of context connected to slavery, connected to colonialism , um, connected to colonialism, um, connected to racism, connected to the house negro and the field negro. so i want you to appreciate that this is a very similar dynamic that we're dealing with in terms of colourism. so the colour , what colourism. so the colour, what i'm trying to say let me just finish, please. i'll keep it quick. in terms of what i'm trying to say, there are black people in my family, for example, have mixed race example, i have many mixed race people in my family and no one on black spoke about on the black side spoke about colour skin tone. my cousins colour or skin tone. my cousins were going its only white were going to be its only white people that actually and people that actually did it. and the why is because the reason why is because if it's issue, won't it's not an issue, you won't talk about it. if it's an issue, you'll talk about if you you'll talk about it. if you have prejudice and if you have racial prejudice and if you appreciate colorism appreciate that colorism leads to white privilege to privilege and white privilege and privilege and and light skin privilege and pretty and texture ism. >> okay, stephanie, let me i'm on nicely explained. let me let me just ask let me just ask
11:14 am
stephanie to pick up on that point then that perhaps these royals, unbeknown perhaps to themselves they're culturally themselves as they're culturally conditioned environment conditioned in that environment as , they were as well, they were making a statement that was related to whether that child would be more valuable or less valuable based on amount of melanin in on the amount of melanin in their skin . on the amount of melanin in their skin. um, no , i don't their skin. um, no, i don't think that's the case. >> i totally understand what you're saying, iman, in the sense that's even sense of colourism, that's even an that plagues among an issue that plagues among black people . that's even within black people. that's even within our family. so i refuse to our own family. so i refuse to label that as racism because that's a mindset that has developed so many years and generations about how light a child is going to be, how dark a child is going to be, how dark a child is going to be in terms of the royals ignorance has been blitzed. we can't say that the royals haven't gone through a lot of changes over the last few years where they're addressing when to race relations. when it comes to race relations. but problem calling people but my problem is calling people racists very loosely is a problem because then when we do have real incidents of racism out there, people won't take it seriously. when we try to when we try to bring it down to these
11:15 am
kind minute situations , it's kind of minute situations, it's not fair. it's not fair. we don't know who the royals are. and question and it's not fair to be to be branding racism when we need to really define what is a racist. >> we can't be using that terminology . stephanie, you're terminology. stephanie, you're being very emotional right now, with all due respect, with all due respect, you are you are not presenting anyone . you don't presenting anyone. you don't mind? i've heard you. i've genuinely heard you. and i do apologise. i interrupt you several times. you know, you are polite black woman . i shouldn't polite black woman. i shouldn't go on. >> i'm on. pick up on that point. i just wanted to interject. >> let me just say something real quick, bev, you've spoken about it in terms of generalising . we keep this generalising. we keep using this frame reference in terms of frame of reference in terms of racism, racism , and you keep racism, racism, and you keep kind of leading with this thought that racism is overt, obvious, deliver great direct forms of racial prejudice. that is not racism in this country. stephanie that is not the prevalence in this country. i can give you facts. i know we
11:16 am
haven't got time, so i'll just keep it brief. you need to open your mind. respect, open your mind. it's not about obvious form racial prejudice. it's now about subtle forms of racial prejudice and black people internally lies that racial prejudice. and they now start talking about. i wonder what colour my child would if she's asking if she has long flowing hair. you're wearing the wig, stephanie , with all due respect, stephanie, with all due respect, you are wearing a weave. there was something in your that was something in your mind that said, i'm going to put on white people's i've been people's hair right? i've been there with my blonde wig there for me with my blonde wig dunng there for me with my blonde wig during black lives matter. what ask you? i'm on. >> i'm on. let me just let's just bring stephanie in just one second. this only works. you both have valid opinions. you both have valid opinions. you both have valid opinions. you both have valid opinions. this only works if we hear them. my issue , stephanie, when i'm issue, stephanie, when i'm heanng issue, stephanie, when i'm hearing iman talk about subtle micro aggressions and a sort of subconscious racism, you can never defend yourself against allegations of racism if it's coming from a place of being accused of being. because
11:17 am
whether something is a microaggression or whether it's subconscious is entirely subjective , effective, and subjective, effective, and therefore you cannot defend yourself against it. stephanie go on. >> well , well, go on. >> well, well, this is what my problem is , because my problem problem is, because my problem is that i'm talking about overt racism . racism. >> overt racism is when i can have facts. how can you judge someone about internal racism ? someone about internal racism? what is your facts on on someone's thoughts or feelings? then we can all be accused of racist, not just white people, black people too. we need to have real evidence before we're going to start branding people racists. it's not fair for it's i'm a black woman. trust me . i'm a black woman. trust me. i've been through races. i've been through racism experiences. but if i'm going to call someone a racist, better have the a racist, i better have the facts. better have facts of facts. i better have facts of what they've said to me. and when. if someone has some discrimination against me. >> on, go on, iman. >> go on, go on, iman. >>— >> go on, go on, iman. >> go on, go on, iman. >> go on, go on, iman. >> go on, iman. just go on. iman, just respond to that. yeah. no, i don't. >> sorry. i'm coming out of frame. i do apologise, stephanie. get me all excited
11:18 am
right now. no i fully agree with you, so i appreciate everything you, so i appreciate everything you said is accurate. you just said is accurate. i'm not going what you've not going to negate what you've just spot on. i'm there just said. spot on. i'm there with you, i know andrew with you, sis. i know andrew feels me, and i bev feels feels me, and i know bev feels me. you to have facts, me. you need to have facts, right? we've had this conversation. you're going to say let's not in say something. let's not live in the world of delusions the in the world of delusions and insults and fabrications and all things that all of these things that ultimately leading to extreme wokeism. lead with wokeism. let's not lead with that. i agree with you need that. i agree with you. you need evidence. this is what i evidence. but this is what i also to say terms of also want to say in terms of nuance life, right? we know that everything white everything isn't black and white isn't left or isn't right. isn't isn't left or isn't right. there's so many kind of grey areas. and this is what we need to into consideration when to take into consideration when we're racism. so to take into consideration when w
11:19 am
you do need clean cut evidence. you don't. not when it comes to covert racism. and this is why we transit from 1994 1998, right . the human rights act. >> i'm i'm going to go back to you, stephanie. >> go on, stephanie. >> go on, stephanie. >> and say we are all human and we can all be guilty of having some forms of discrimination, discrimination or racial thoughts. we're now in this generation where we can speak about these things openly . but about these things openly. but at the moment, you have to understand , especially the understand, especially with the royals, debate is royals, which this debate is about, from some of about, they come from some of them come from a very old school mindset where now when we're moving new modern moving to this new modern monarchy , they have to be monarchy, they have to be addressed on these issues. but calling racist, think calling them racist, i think that's a bit too far. i think they do need to address their attitudes and their to attitudes and their mindset to people colour. as we've seen people of colour. as we've seen in past. but to them, in the past. but to them, rebranding them, i just rebranding them, racism, i just think too and think it's a bit too harsh and i think it's a bit too harsh and i think the stuff that you're complaining about, black people can be equally criticised for such issues as.
11:20 am
>> go on. iman, last word to you. >> i agree. you have to add context. >> sorry. i know. i know. we're running out of time and you've gotten used to me. i can talk for days. stephanie, you have to add context. 270 years of add the context. 270 years of every king and queen within this country for the country advocating for the enslaved of africans and colonisation of these africans. we're from we're talking about from elizabeth first to james the fourth. this is a fact. 270 years of advocating for subjugating oppressing black people in africa. and we're not even talking about neo—colonialism, right? we're not even talking about what's going on right now. we're just talking ago. so talking about 400 years ago. so you talk about these you cannot talk about these things without adding context. if talk about if you're going to talk about racism the royal family, racism within the royal family, you need think about context. you need to think about context. you to think about you need to think about colourism. you need think colourism. you need to think about textualism need about textualism here. you need to think about assimilation. the amount degree amount that or the degree in which are willing which black people are willing to and this is why we to assimilate and this is why we have reference that have a frame of reference that we in terms of overt versus we do in terms of overt versus covert. and also need to take covert. and we also need to take into consideration if we're going to talk about racism in this you overt this country. you have overt racism, which is obvious,
11:21 am
deliberate direct, and you deliberate and direct, and you have covert racism, which is subtle harder prove subtle and much harder to prove and harder to prove. and much harder to prove. >> imani stephanie takyi great debate. thank you so much, ladies . debate. thank you so much, ladies. thank you so much. and you what? we need than you know what? we need more than anything? to listen anything? an ability to listen to each other. yeah, that's what we and queen, i have to each other. yeah, that's what wesay and queen, i have to each other. yeah, that's what wesay , and queen, i have to each other. yeah, that's what wesay , cannot queen, i have to each other. yeah, that's what we say , cannot be queen, i have to each other. yeah, that's what wesay , cannot be ajeen, i have to each other. yeah, that's what wesay , cannot be a part i have to each other. yeah, that's what wesay , cannot be a part of1ave to each other. yeah, that's what wesay , cannot be a part of that to say, cannot be a part of that 270 of royals advocating 270 history of royals advocating the enslavement of black africans she africans because she was a fantastic head of the commonwealth, a very commonwealth, which is a very largely black organisation. >> lively debate . i kept >> well, a lively debate. i kept out it. out of it. >> well, i know i noticed it. but you know what? i could barely a word the tories barely get a word in the tories ehhen barely get a word in the tories either, still to come, barely get a word in the tories eitheron still to come, barely get a word in the tories eitheron those till to come, barely get a word in the tories eitheron those plumesyme, barely get a word in the tories eitheron those plumes ofe, barely get a word in the tories eitheron those plumes of smoke more on those plumes of smoke that we saw in gaza in the last half hour. this is meant to be dunng half hour. this is meant to be during the truce, which has been extended 48 hours. we're extended for 48 hours. we're finding going you finding out what's going on you with britain's on .
11:25 am
six till 930 . 1125. >> you're with britain's newsroom on gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner. >> so plumes of smoke could be seen rising above gaza this morning, even though warring morning, even though the warring parties have to extend parties have agreed to extend their by 48 hours. it their truce by 48 hours. it comes after children, an comes after eight children, an 18 year old woman and two mothers were released by hamas overnight safely mothers were released by hamas overnig in safely mothers were released by hamas overnigin israel safely mothers were released by hamas overnigin israel . safely arrived in israel. >> so in the studio with us now is news reporter, charlie is our gb news reporter, charlie peters. charlie, great peters. clearly, charlie, great concern truce may have concern that the truce may have broken could there be an broken down. could there be an alternative explanation? >> the qataris this have >> the qataris this morning have said are minimal
11:26 am
said that there are minimal breaches taking place to the truce gaza, so they're not truce in gaza, so they're not particularly concerned about the situation in. i think what's likely to have happened this morning some the morning is that some of the other the other warring factions on the palestine side, let's not forget, there are lots of other terrorist in the gaza terrorist groups in the gaza strip beyond hamas likely weren't communicated on the situation with the extension of that truce last night . so it's that truce last night. so it's not just hamas. there's also the palestine, an jihad, the palestine, an islamic jihad, the popular resistance committees, the front for the popular front for liberation. there are so many other terrorist organisations, organisation in the strip, many of them aligned to al—qaeda, and there's a realistic possibility that they have launched attacks on israeli troops today thinking the truce is up and that the israelis have responded with some shelling or tank fire. no jets heard overhead in the strip this morning. and why might they have been failing in that communication if that is the reasonable explanation? well, the israelis have killed quite a few terrorist commanders over the last 50 days. so the command and control aspects of many of these organisation is will have
11:27 am
suffered greatly due to the extensive bombing and troops on the ground operations that we've seen last month . seen since last month. >> we're still expecting more hostages to be released tonight. charlie, at least another 11 on the from from from gaza. >> yeah, there's continuing diplomacy going on today. >> yeah, there's continuing diplomacy going on today . we've diplomacy going on today. we've just heard in the last ten minutes that the cia and mossad, chief mossad, is the kind of israeli mi6 are in doha right now meeting with the qatari prime minister, likely to get a better understanding of the intelligence picture of the situation the strip situation inside the gaza strip with those hostages, because we don't how left. don't know how many are left. last night , the palestinians last night, the palestinians released a 12 year old boy, which could be a sign that they're running out of women and children to release in exchange for high value palestinian for more high value palestinian prisoners. let's not forget , prisoners. let's not forget, it's in hamas's best interest to keep this ceasefire going on for as long as possible because they know that when it ends, those israeli forces in the north are going to turn their attention south. and last night the defence minister, galant,
11:28 am
defence minister, yoav galant, warned attack warned that they would attack with force . with greater force. >> so it will escalate almost certainly, but there are severe restrictions to any potential israeli operation . israeli operation. >> in the south. the terrain is more heavily restrict and they've got to cross a river and there are 2.3 million civilians in that location. it's not going to be the kind of armoured tank approach we saw. >> and hamas will be obscured themselves within those civilians. of civilians. there is all sorts of coven civilians. there is all sorts of cover, concealment and obstacles they deploy. they can deploy. >> can take their >> they can take off their uniform and it back on as uniform and put it back on as they wish. and of course, let's not forget there is that labyrinth of tunnels underneath the down to the strip. all the way down to khan and rafah, right in khan yunis and rafah, right in the it's going to be more the south. it's going to be more of a bloodbath know, of a bloodbath again, you know, one worst stories and one one of the worst stories and one of worst from this of the worst images from this conflict this youngest hostage. >> this is a ten month old baby, kfir, i believe the name is kfir bibas. and he was kidnapped along with two to with the parents, jordan and shiri, to
11:29 am
and sons ariel, who's four, and this baby that was ten months or is ten months at the time. and now we're hearing that the baby has been given from hamas , has has been given from hamas, has given been given by hamas to another terrorist organisation, almost certainly with the palestinian islamic jihad . palestinian islamic jihad. >> and so in the last 48 hours, we have had significant reports of hamas scrambling throughout the gaza strip, trying to get their other organisations , us their other organisations, us augned their other organisations, us aligned terror groups , to bring aligned terror groups, to bring forward any hostages because they've distributed with them, it throughout gaza it appears, throughout the gaza strip. suddenly the strip. and when suddenly the attention turns to diplomacy and these exchanges, they have to centralise them again and get them back under hamas control. this ten month old baby should be of the first sausages be one of the first sausages that release, according to that they release, according to the of priority. really the order of priority. really appalling think hostages appalling to think of hostages in that's that's in that way. but that's that's what likely likely gone what it's likely likely gone missing stands. missing as it stands. >> got to get some charlie >> we've got to get some charlie we take you live heathrow we can take you live to heathrow airport where the first ever airport now where the first ever transatlantic in a large transatlantic flight in a large passenger green passenger aircraft using green fuel, cooking oil,
11:30 am
fuel, effectively cooking oil, is departing bound for new york's jfk , its virgin atlantic york's jfk, its virgin atlantic operating the boeing 787 dreamliner aircraft . dreamliner aircraft. >> now, if i was on this aeroplane, i would have my fingers crossed because, of course , this is history making, course, this is history making, but this aeroplane is effective , but this aeroplane is effective, largely driven by cooking oil. passengers . does include virgin passengers. does include virgin founder , of course, sir richard founder, of course, sir richard branson. well, he olive oil or corn oil? >> is there a difference? >> is there a difference? >> is there a difference? >> i don't think it's olive oil. that would be quite i think it's the remnants cooking oil. i the remnants of cooking oil. i mean, you can tell this is mean, look, you can tell this is not a specialism is it? transport secretary mark harper is on the plane with richard branson. >> he says it's proof that air travel can be sustainable. >> so we are just watching now. >> so we are just watching now. >> it's actually taxiing. we think up the runway. this plane . think up the runway. this plane. why would you want to be on that plane? would you be a bit nervous ? be. nervous? i'd be. >> yes, i suppose so. >> well, yes, i suppose so. i mean, i liked i presume that they've i don't think they're just the first time. >> is it all or is it all
11:31 am
cooking oil ? well, is it mixed cooking oil? well, is it mixed with what they're called ing, isn't it? >> do you know anything about this? charlie peters special aviation fuel. >> right. but harper's going over to le office or san francisco. i think, because they've got a bit of a problem in terms of getting the funding for this stuff because it's not necessarily economically viable at the moment. it's quite expensive plane on expensive to fly a plane on cooking oil, sure. and so cooking oil, i'm sure. and so i think you can have the biofuel to up a portion of the fuel to make up a portion of the fuel supply, but to go 100% this supply, but to go 100% like this is a big cost. >> and actually cooking oil is one of the food products that soared in price after the war in ukraine. >> it so i found some facts. >> it did so i found some facts. >> it did so i found some facts. >> so this is about us >> okay. so this is about us decarbonising because you can tell we're winging pun tell we're winging it. no pun intended. are banking intended. airlines are banking on this fuel made from waste. it's going to reduce emissions by ”p it's going to reduce emissions by up to 70. apparently meaning that they can keep operating electric and hydrogen powered air travel in decades to come . air travel in decades to come. this is the virgin boeing 787, powered by rolls royce

1140. >> you're with britain's newsroom and gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner. >> the full inquest begins today into the death of caversham primary school head teacher ruth perry. >> she was 53 when she took her own life, which followed a critical ofsted report which downgraded her school from outstanding to inadequate. >> now by >> so we're joined now by reporter tomson in reading reporter pip tomson in reading good morning, just remind good morning, pip. just remind us about the details of us this about the details of this story . this story. >> well, ruth perry, she was the headteacher of caversham primary school. she had apologies for the idiot behind me . school. she had apologies for the idiot behind me. i'll try and continue. she had worked at the school for 17 years and been a headteacher there for about 13 years. she took her own life, we understand . after this ofsted understand. after this ofsted inspection , which a family have inspection, which a family have previously said was the worst day of her life. the school had
11:41 am
been rated outstanding, but she understood that they were then going to rate it inadequate . her going to rate it inadequate. her family have already said that she was put under into tolerable pressure because of that inspection. now, what we've heard at this inquest so far at berkshire coroner's office is how ofsted inspections work. and schools are judged on five criteria for the quality of the education behaviour and attitudes. personal development, learning management, early years provision. and then they're graded from outstanding to inadequate . so that would be inadequate. so that would be outstanding . young good needs , outstanding. young good needs, needs, attention, and then inadequate. there's also safeguarding that's considered and that could be effective or judged ineffective by ofsted. now, if a school then is judged and i hope you're still with me on this, if a school then is judged inadequate or in
11:42 am
effective , then it's found to effective, then it's found to have serious weaknesses. and if caversham primary school's case, it could have led to it being closed or turned into an academy. so that is what an ofsted inspector has been telling the coroner so far. >> okay. thank you very much , >> okay. thank you very much, pip. pip tomson, there in redding, caversham primary school . i redding, caversham primary school. i have redding, caversham primary school . i have to say i have a school. i have to say i have a bit of a problem with this. this story tragic , awful, awful for story tragic, awful, awful for her family or for when anyone takes their own life. but to have ofsted dragged into it like this, it's completely to neglect what other side logical issues would been on in that would have been going on in that woman's life? it's like if you topped yourself. yeah, don't know. you blamed if know. but if you blamed if people said, well, it's very stressful working at gb news, what do we do? >> working with you especially, you know what do do? you know what do we do? >> do close down gb news? >> do we close down gb news? like, should your inquest be about the culture at gb about me and the culture at gb news? >> we all know that it's an incredibly complex issue. >> really is. are >> it really is. there are a number of factors when this woman was stressed by doing her job, lots of people get
11:43 am
job, but lots of people get stressed exactly that. stressed doing exactly that. >> i mean, remember >> i mean, i remember having ofsted i was >> i mean, i remember having oinvestigation. i was >> i mean, i remember having oinvestigation. they i was >> i mean, i remember having oinvestigation. they were i was >> i mean, i remember having oinvestigation. they were kind; a investigation. they were kind of watching our school when i was a primary school teacher. it is yeah. but you know is stressful. yeah. but you know what? stressful. you what? job isn't stressful. you have but it's have to have stress. but it's her to able to deal her capacity to be able to deal with this. >> frankly, as parents, we >> and frankly, as parents, we need analysis to be stressful. >> yeah, but i do think that that ofsted has changed over a penod that ofsted has changed over a period of time. so at moment period of time. so at the moment they're going a school for they're going into a school for a of days. what the head a couple of days. what the head teachers is that's not teachers argue is that's not enough to actually assess a school. there's lot school. there's been a lot longer there previously and sent more so what tends more inspectors. so what tends to happen is teachers do get terribly stressed out because they're so reliant on this final verdict act and they don't feel they get they get to know the school properly while they're doing it. so the verdicts aren't always right. so i think ofsted does need to relook at itself and the way it does that is that is that cost cutting. yeah. yeah yeah. >> and do you know what. and that might be a valid investigation that needs to be done into ofsted fit done into whether ofsted is fit for purpose, to drag it into
11:44 am
for purpose, but to drag it into an inquest into somebody's death i a completely i think is a completely i think the verdict be the coroner's verdict will be very interesting. the coroner's verdict will be venyes,aresting. the coroner's verdict will be veryes, that ng. the coroner's verdict will be veryes, that might spark some >> yes, that might spark some kind of kind of review of the way the coroner will make statement. >> i imagine, too, with the right jacob rees—mogg, he said on channel last night that on this channel last night that mass the mass migration could cost the tories next election. tories the next election. >> during the day. here's >> during during the day. here's a . a clip. >> question of mass >> the question of mass migration could cost tory migration could cost the tory party next election on mass party the next election on mass migration not the norm in our migration is not the norm in our history. it's the exception. and never before has there been such a of people and a large movement of people and there's no reason to accept this as the quo and that as the status quo and that migration stands provisionally at 672,000 for 2023. and this when we've got a government that promised to get the numbers down into the tens of thousands and it let's down an electorate that has given repeated mandates to get the numbers under control as nigel nelson what do you make of that? >> well if you actually base migration on a numbers game ,

migration on a numbers game, then you don't take into in all then you don't take into in all the various other things that help help out. so what the tories are saying is we've got to get the numbers down, we've got to get the numbers down and you shouldn't really think in those terms. yes, of course the numbers should come down, but you should deal it in a way you should deal with it in a way that's flexible the that's flexible. so at the moment we need we desperately moment we do need we desperately need nurses , 47,000 of them. we need nurses, 47,000 of them. we desperately need care workers, 152,000 of those, if you start messing about with that , like, messing about with that, like, for instance, making wages go up, that will increase the cost on the nhs. do you want to pay more taxes? yes. and so it goes on. so the whole thing is that you should naturally be able to bnng you should naturally be able to bring it down by getting more people off benefits and into work, which is the right thing to do. and especially cutting nhs waiting list to get more sick. people who are waiting back into work. to tanya , do you back into work. to tanya, do you know what this makes me think about the statistics from matt
