9:07 pm
wallace without the gromit has announced giant metal flywheels could be installed because the removal of coal from our system could cause blackouts. can you guess who's making these giant metal flywheels? it's a norwegian company, so not only will we be forced to buy oil from norway instead of using our own, we'll also probably pay them for our green energy as well. fantastic. ed miliband has promised his big green revolution would lead to more jobs. thousands of them, to be precise. here he is saying it as well. >> we want to work with companies like rolls—royce to have these good jobs at good wages that people in your constituency really want to see. >> well, the north sea oil ban is set to cost thousands of jobs. the closure of the port talbot plant is costing between 2500 and 4000 jobs, so he's made loads of people unemployed and the green jobs that he's told them to get don't exist. another thing that miliband bangs on aboutis thing that miliband bangs on about is your energy bills. here he is with his big plan to save
9:08 pm
you money. >> can you imagine celebrating the energy bills are over £400 higher than they were before the crisis began. well, that's what rishi sunak's been doing. only labour offers a plan for real change to cut energy bills for good with gb energy, our new publicly owned energy company. >> and here's keir starmer saying that he's got a plan to save you £400. so there we are. well, let's have a bit of the reality, shall we? yesterday, energy bills rose by an average of £149 a year because the price cap went up 10%. in fact, we have the highest electricity phces have the highest electricity prices in europe. you're paying more for electricity than anyone in europe. but don't worry when they're not using giant metal flywheels. ed miliband's going to be relying on offshore wind, but the 2023 financial results will therein, as well. and it turns out that it cost the taxpayer £46 million to generate £13 million of electricity. so
9:09 pm
just so we're clear. ed miliband said he'd make us more energy secure, bring your bills down and create more jobs. the reality is there will be blackouts that leave us shivering in the dark. your bills have gone up and more people are unemployed. let's get our thoughts. my panel this evening. we've got the director of the popular conservatives, mark littlewood. we've got landlord and activist adam brooks, and we've got the journalist and broadcaster nina myskow. and i will start with you on this, mark. so, you know, is ed miliband going to leave us shivering in the dark? >> quite a high risk of that. i mean, patrick, i think future generations will look back in horror and bewilderment about this lunatic approach to energy, which is an absolutely pointless act of colossal self—harm. i mean, i'm wondering what he's going to come up with next that , going to come up with next that, you know, every household must have a human sized hamster wheel and every citizen must sort of run around in it every day. truth is, we are going to be reliant on gas. the other point worth making? we have halved our
9:10 pm
carbon emissions in about the last 20 years, about halved it. this is colossal progress. the green lobby should be absolutely applauding this. i mean stunning, stunning progress. and even if you thought you could come up with some miracle way of getting us to carbon net zero tomorrow, the overall impact on global carbon emissions is trivial. we're about 1% of it all. so this is going to be colossally expensive. it's not going to create meaningful jobs. i mean, weird projects can create jobs, but not productive jobs. and the whole thing will unravel. and we've got to be realistic about this. i'm not a climate denier, but i think we have to do this in a measured and sensible way. and i think we've actually got to be a lot more realistic about what steps we might take to live with climate change, rather than merely preventing it. >> i mean, ed miliband is obsessed, and i mean, like obsessed, and i mean, like obsessed with this idea of us being this world leader when it comes to, you know , carbon comes to, you know, carbon emissions and all of this stuff. but as far as i'm concerned, this is rizla paper between him
9:11 pm
and greta thunberg. >> yeah. look, i look at his onune >> yeah. look, i look at his online videos that he puts out, and i wonder if he's all the ticket. you know, i look at them, i cannot take the man seriously. we are. we are building flywheels while china are building power stations. now we are less than 1% of the world's global emissions. but we are risking our kids future. not only jobs, but blackouts. you know, we are risking pensioners lives. what are we going to do until these flywheels are built? i think 20, 26, they're saying they might be built. so the next 2 or 3 winters, what happens if there is an energy crisis? we needed the backup of the last, coal power station. they've shut that. so what have we got as a backup? we have nothing . labour. backup? we have nothing. labour. incompetent. and i think he's a lunatic. >> okay. all right. strong stuff. nina, what do you make of this? because he certainly angered the unions. i mean, the idea that there's a labour minister there praising the
9:12 pm
closure of a coal powered plant. i mean, that's the kind of stuff we used to get strikes and riots oven we used to get strikes and riots over. wasn't it? >> well, the point being that, first of all, can we establish some ground rules? yes. do we believe that we should transition to renewables rather than more fossil fuels? so you know, so you think we should still be, you know, in the future, say 20 years from now, 30 years from now, 40 years gas still used. and what about coal? >> i'm quite i'm happy with that being really a very, very small part. >> i find that the technology is there that we can rely on. how come, how come, how come you think? well, at the moment we're getting 26% of our energy from wind power and that's offshore wind power and that's offshore wind power. so that because, you know, the tories didn't want the nimby thing, not in my backyard and all my rich mates backyard, the cost of that though, isn't it? >> £46 million we spent to get £13 million worth of energy. >> but no, but and they are so quick to put up. you can get, you can get a wind farm up, up and running in six months and
9:13 pm
they pay for themselves within two years. you don't need a government scheme then i mean private business will invest in it.then private business will invest in it. then look, that's fine, but so we're not we don't need to be reliant on coal. i mean, i think, i personally think that 2030 is too soon. i think we should try and make the transition longer. but we have to face facts. we have to move with the future. we have to go with the future. we have to go with the future. we have to go with the times. and, you know, there were days when, back in there were days when, back in the day we used horses, not cars. and there was, you know, when the horses went out and all that went with it, all those people who are working in that industry by that point, by horses. that's why i'm saying transition needs to be. >> and but you're absolutely right. because what the point that you've made there is literally the point that pretty much every single expert is making, which is that we could go renewable when we've got the technology, and then the people who are now unemployed might be able to work in those jobs, because at that moment in time, those jobs will exist, whereas at the moment they don't. my concern with this, nina, i'll
9:14 pm
put i'll put this to you, mark. we'll have a chat about it. now is that we do have a minister in charge of this who is willing to, in the short term, seemingly make us poorer, colder and unemployed, which is a problem. >> well , it is unemployed, which is a problem. >> well, it is a problem. >> well, it is a problem. >> but he wouldn't be putting flywheels in place to prevent this. >> well, that's an extraordinarily expensive way of doing it, nina. it's not so much about transitioning away from coal that's more or less happened. we're not quite there. it's the other types of energy that we should be relying on that we should be relying on that aren't just windmills of some sort, i understand that. >> what about nuclear? where's where's our nuclear? >> why aren't we allowing small modular nuclear reactors to be built? why the hell? >> why did the last tory government prevent that? where are they then? if they did, they build them? did they build them? what about hinckley ? what about hinckley? >> there's no indication. nina. nina, there's no indication that ed miliband is in favour of building a whole load of nuclear. or to go for fracking. can we just let me just say nuclear? >> rather. do you mind if we say nuclear rather than nuclear? because that is how the word is pronounced. >> small modular reactors. okay. >> small modular reactors. okay. >> it's nuclear. >> it's nuclear.
9:15 pm
>> thank you. fracking. we've got to go for fracking and shale gas. this is what's made energy incredibly cheap in the united states of america. why? energy phces states of america. why? energy prices are disastrous for the economy is disastrous for the environment. >> it's not disastrous to people. so can we can we talk about, first of all, we need to be we need to be as independent as we can. the fact of the matter is, we are beholden to the middle east for our oil and to we were to russia for our oil. we saw where that happened after the ukrainian war started. why don't we drill for our own? so no, there's nothing to do with oil. the thing is, is a bit. it is. and look, with the current political situation in the middle east, oil is rising. it rose by 4% yesterday to $75 a barrel. we cannot be at the mercy of these people. the north sea is their . but we cannot be sea is their. but we cannot be at the mercy of other people if we in the north sea, if it's ours, if we could have been independent with oil, we would have been independent. there is not enough there . there is not not enough there. there is not enough.can not enough there. there is not enough. can i, can i can i also
9:16 pm
can i also just say sorry, sorry, sorry? >> i've got to underline the point here. flywheels are not the answer to our problems. >> norwegian flywheels. >> norwegian flywheels. >> right. so that is not that is not going to save us. >> and it's not it's going to save a blackout in the long term future. >> at the end of the day, in the early 2000, i think it was the lib dems that killed off our nuclear programme. we wouldn't have had the energy crisis that we did if it wasn't for the lib dems acting as they did. that's a fact. >> please. >> please. >> we haven't had it. we haven't had a sensible energy strategy for 25 years. the government keeps chopping and changing its mind. that makes it nearly impossible to invest in the industry. that's why the uk is facing such high bills. it's a disaster. >> do you think ed miliband is a fanatic? >> he is on this point. yeah. this is this is way too far, too fast and you said he's alongside greta thunberg and there's a picture of them two sat together. >> so what is that a crime do you think he's a crazy i think i think he's i think he's he's a man with a mission. >> that's what i think. no doubt
9:17 pm
about that. and there's nothing wrong with greta thunberg. i don't see what your problem is. oh come on, why does she keep getting arrested? nina >> because she keeps breaking the law. >> oh, please. breaking the law by protesting by protesting. she's a woman. she's a she's a young woman with ideals. she's allowed to protest. what have you got against women? she's a young. what have you got against women ? women? >> elianne. congress is a woman with no . what congress does any woman. >> normally i would get up with this, but that is so laughable. no, it's not laughable. >> nina. >> nina. >> no, she is a fanatic. >> no, she is a fanatic. >> and most people she is a woman with a lot of people. not most people, not a bit of a sensible listen about . and our sensible listen about. and our energy companies put our prices up with nothing to do with market sources, i get it, but i just think it's worth noting, as pensioners potentially stare down the barrel of shivering to death this winter, that i bet the heating is on in the treasury all night. >> i bet the heating is on in downing street all night. i bet it's on for all. for all of these places. all night. i would hazard a guess. i would hazard a
9:18 pm
guess. and you've got read ed who's out there saying, you know, we need to row back on all this. you know, you get you get your big green energy and meanwhile you've got pensioners there. >> i'm a pensioner whose bill went up 25% yesterday. so i wrote, you're well off. >> you're well off. >> you're well off. >> i'm not well off but i can afford it. i wrote to them and said i'm not in financial difficulty, but you, you've done a survey and why haven't you? you know, why have you put it up? show me why you've put it up. because normally i'm in credit and i can ring them up and say, send it back. energy phces and say, send it back. energy prices and you know why they they wrote back first thing this morning and said, okay, we'll leave it as it is. end of fine. >> okay. good stuff. >> okay. good stuff. >> they were just trying to get and if i hadn't done that, they would have taken labour. >> donors are going to, you know, profit from these green policies. that's what we'll have. >> oh, please. we would have to wait and see. right. okay. lively start. thank you very much. there's loads more to go out tonight. but before i get stuck into that, it's time for the great british giveaway. your chance to win the equivalent of having an extra £3,000 in your bank account each month for the

9:21 pm
9:22 pm
9:23 pm
9:24 pm
welcome back to patrick christys tonight we are only on gb news now. how would you feel about a cap, a legally binding cap of 100,000 people a year when it comes to net migration? it's time for the head to head . so time for the head to head. so the final four tory leadership
9:25 pm
candidates all took to the stage today in their big push to convince everyone that they should be the next party's leader before they're whittled to down two next week. now, tom tugendhat, he used the opportunity to outline his plan to reduce net migration. >> we need an effective deterrent, but we must solve as well as stop, and that's why i'll set a legal cap on net migration at 100,000, not a target, not an ambition, a cap . target, not an ambition, a cap. >> right. so that puts clear blue water between him and his leadership rival, robert jenrick, who told gb news political editor christopher hope that he wants a cap much lower than 100,000. >> bring back this. this net, net 100,000 a year. migrant arrivals , arrivals, >> yes, but go significantly further. what i'm saying is parliament should set that number. i think it should be in the tens of thousands or lower. >> right. okay. so tonight i am
9:26 pm
asking should we introduce a legal migration cap of 100,000, or is that still too high? going head to head on this now are the reform uk mp rupert lowe and the political adviser pablo ohana . political adviser pablo ohana. shapps. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. now rupert is 100,000 net too high? >> well, patrick, every target that we've been told is going to be met by all the various parties since tony blair opened the floodgates in 1997. >> they've never adhered to them. the point is not the target. they should be now very limited, targeted immigration. they don't mention the word targeted. we want people who are going to contribute to our economy. we've got far too many low skill people from parts of the world all over the world. we don't know what their objectives are. they're costing the british taxpayer money and they're not contributing to our economy sufficiently to cover their own
9:27 pm
costs. and at the end of the day, we've got 9 million people of working age who aren't working. so you can't look at one issue without the other. but my view is it's got to be targeted immigration. it's got to be high skilled immigration and we need to learn from singapore who basically paid their judiciary properly, singapore who basically paid theirjudiciary properly, paid their judiciary properly, paid their judiciary properly, paid their politicians properly, and actually targeted their immigration policy. they now enjoy gdp per capita twice as high as the uk. australia is the other example that nobody takes enough notice of. they have managed the situation very well. ihave managed the situation very well. i have very little faith in the current political leadership being able to manage immigration, the civil service >> i'll cut you, i'll cut you off there and i'll come back to you. pablo i'm just going to pick up on what rupert said there. so a record number of 1.6 million legal migrants in britain are currently not working, and they're costing the taxpayer £8 billion a year. there is a case, isn't there, to
9:28 pm
have a fixed level of net migration so that we can all, you know, feel more, feel more of the economic positive, impact ourselves instead of opening the floodgates . floodgates. >> well, i mean, we've been here before on arbitrary targets. david cameron's, you know, famously set that target at 100,000. theresa may tried boris johnson tried. liz. well, liz truss less said about her the better. but rishi sunak tried. you know it's never worked because it doesn't reflect the reality of the situation. immigration is vital to our country. they contribute more in taxes than they take in benefits. no one ever talks about that last year that was more than £122 billion. why are we all poorer than that ? well, we all poorer than that? well, that's not true. >> that's not true. gdp per caphais >> that's not true. gdp per capita is down. we've got we've got we've got population increasing faster than we've ever had before. and gdp per caphais ever had before. and gdp per capita is going down. so why is that? >> that is not down to immigration. the problem is that we have this conversation all the time about what immigration does to our country, and we
9:29 pm
never talk about the benefits of it, because the truth is that on the right, it is easier to not solve this issue they want. we don't have a reasonable, rational debate about this because then they wouldn't have anything to campaign on. it's easier to dehumanise the issue and demonise other people rather than having a sensible conversation about how immigration and dehumanisation of our spreadsheet is there. >> pablo. you know, i mean, that's that's what it looks like on a spreadsheet setting. >> arbitrary targets like 100,000. when these people contribute more in taxes than they take in benefits, doesn't make sense. we need our nhs, which we all love. it would collapse without immigration. we need that. they bring innovation. they bring cultural diversity. they bring a skilled workforce that strengthens our global competitiveness, you know, and i yeah, when i, when i 90, know, and i yeah, when i, when i go, when i go into the nhs because i've got crippling abdominal pain, i'm really there fundamentally for the cultural enrichment. >> but rupert i'll throw it over to you. is there some truth? to what? to what? pablo said that if we are going to have this right, i think it's important to
9:30 pm
have a bit of context about where your head is at, rupert, when it comes to migration, because correct me if i'm wrong, but i actually think you want net zero migration, don't you? >> i want minuscule, targeted immigration. only immigration that's going to benefit the existing uk economy. so where we have a skills shortage, target that. but i mean pablo is just on a different planet. you know, he's not actually in, in, in, in a, in a proper what i call real industry. you know, the guy is out of touch with reality. and the fact of the matter is , you the fact of the matter is, you know, you look at our you look at our economy as you say, patrick, nothing works. nothing works . because patrick, nothing works. nothing works. because immigration has flooded the entire country. every single service that we've got is now broken. every the civil service is not functioning properly. none of their offices are working because there are too many people who've come into the country legally and legally and illegally. and as you quite rightly say, our gdp per capita is falling all the time. so the new arrivals are actually costing the country money.
9:31 pm
>> all right. and pablo, just i'm going to ask you the same question, but in reverse, really. so as far as your mindset is that when it comes to migration, is it that you don't really want to put a cap on it because actually you'd just like loads more? >> no, i don't think we need an open door on immigration. i think that it does need to be targeted, and we need to make sure that the people coming in are contributing. i think the problem is, is that we, you know, as i say, this debate happens a lot, but it becomes very unpleasant. it becomes very personal. and it is matched only really by an extraordinary absence of accurate information. we have to clarify, firstly, what are we talking about? immigration migration, refugees, all these different types of terminology that just get kind of conflated together. refugees, for example, are people who flee desperate war and persecution. >> 85% of the economic migrants settle in countries that directly next to where they are fleeing. >> do we need effective measures to control immigration? yes. the answer is competent, effective government, which we haven't had for decades. we've suffered a decade of weak, immature,
9:32 pm
populist governing with people who just slap targets on things because they want to attract headunes because they want to attract headlines and votes. if we assess people when they come into the country and we look at their situation, where they are coming from, we can create a fair system that is competent and compassionate, that doesn't waste resources on. >> what about being compassionate to your own people? that's part of it. is it compassionate to create a situation where migration is surging far quicker than economic growth? i'm not entirely sure that's compassionate to the people who pay compassionate to the people who pay into the system. day in and day out and have lived here all their lives, or their grandparents have lived here all their lives. i mean, i know it's compassionate to who, isn't it? isuppose compassionate to who, isn't it? i suppose it's where it's where your priorities are. i am currently getting shouted at there. i'm afraid i'm going to have to leave this. i do apologise, but thank you very much. it's a fantastic head to head. we'd love to see it. and i would also like to emphasise that pablo does have a proper job. rupert, let's not be mean. okay, so here we are as reform uk reform uk mp rupert lowe and political adviser pablo wahaca. thank you very much guys. all
9:33 pm
right, so look who do you agree with on all of that. you know i want to know. get in the inbox now as well. you can go to vaiews@gbnews.uk. let us know. there was a twitter poll as well online. i'll give you the results of that in a bit. but coming up, fresh off the back of his return to the uk, prince harry has jetted into south africa for his charity and so on. a solo trip though. and that's the interesting thing because it's actually the latest in quite a long line of solo trips for prince harry. it'll mark a two and a half week stint since he was last seen in public with meghan , amid reports that with meghan, amid reports that he's back to his usual self. is the duke of sussex happier flying solo? former royal correspondent of the sun, charlie ray. he's got the inside scoop. he joins me very, very soon. 500“. >> soon. >> but first i think reform of fill the gap that the conservatives were failing to actually, fill themselves . actually, fill themselves. >> there we go. yes. a potential pact with reform uk was the talk of the town at tory party conference this week, but would nigel farage even contemplate
9:34 pm

studio discussing his new memoir, unleashed, the gripping studio discussing his new memoir, unleashed, the gripping story of how he dealt with plotting politicians, problematic princes and a pandemic. from boris bikes to brexit and everything else in between, this sunday at 9:30 am. only on gb news, the people's channel, britain's news. channel. >> okay welcome back. loads to come. so prince harry, he seems happier on his own. why is that? i'll be discussing that. and also nigel farage was proven to be correct. unfortunately, the latest stats show that there is a hiv surge in britain, fuelled by immigration. but first reform uk leader nigel farage has been accused of inflaming people and amplifying false information following the southport stabbings during an almighty clash with itv presenter susanna reid. let's have a look, shall we? >> suzanne, you can shake your head. this is i am absolutely shaking my head because you this is hang on you repeated misinformation. are you aware?
9:39 pm
are you, are you aware under surveillance? are either of you aware? >> asked whether the terrorism is being withheld from us? >> well, of course it's being withheld. look what happened in nottingham. a triple murderer will kill two entirely separate pubuc will kill two entirely separate public deserves. >> not how the rule of law works. nigel farage i just think that with power comes responsibility. >> quite right. and you cannot just on camera raise spurious questions which you know will inflame people. >> tell us the truth . and then >> tell us the truth. and then just how inflammatory is that? >> we know . >> we know. >> we know. >> right? i'm joined now by reform uk mp lee anderson. lee, do you think that the establishment media understand the concerns of millions of brits? >> i think what they don't understand , patrick, is when understand, patrick, is when people tune in to a program like that in the morning, they actually want to listen to what nigel farage has to say, not what these tin pot presenters have to say. this is why they
9:40 pm
through the interview was butt in and stop nigel from actually speaking. this is not good interviewing patrick. this is just, you know, this is just somebody who's trying to get their own point across when really the purpose of an interview like this is to let nigel have his say. and they didn't let him do that. >> it's all very corporate, isn't it? it's all very much like, oh, this is the defined party line. i mean, you've got ed balls there clutching pearls. you've got susanna reid there clutching pearls, haven't you. do you actually think that either of those two people are properly in touch with the common man and woman on the street? >> well, no ed balls. i mean, ed balls is a joke. he lost his seat.i balls is a joke. he lost his seat. i mean, the electorate rejected him. i can't look at him, patrick, without cracking up, laughing to be honest. and susanna, i mean, she all she did. like i say, patrick was booked in every every two seconds. she booked it in. didn't let nigel have his say. this is very, very poor. these pair wouldn't get a job on gb news. by the way. >> okay. well, we must be seeing. we probably couldn't afford susanna reid to be fair, but. but yes, i mean , but you but. but yes, i mean, but you know, when you see nigel being kind of barracked like that and
9:41 pm
he gets it quite a lot, i do wonder whether or not it just highlights the, the disconnect between a lot of people in the chattering media classes, many of whom would, i am convinced, happily live in gated communities if they could. and actually people who are out there seeing the day to day, you know, when was the last time susanna reid visited a migrant hotel? when was the last time ed balls bothered to visit one of those places? >> you're right, patrick, they don't live in the real world. these people don't. they? absolutely don't. they never visit a place like ashfield and talk to real people on the street or in the pubs they like. you say they probably lived in their little gated communities, live in their own fluffy little world and never mix with real people. you know, nigel, i mean, people. you know, nigel, i mean, people have a pop at nigel all the time, but he's out there, patrick. he's out around the country talking to real people in the pubs, in the clubs, in the shops, in the shopping centres. it's been to ashfield. he's spoken to real people. he's the one that's got his finger on the one that's got his finger on the pulse. >> he puts himself at risk as well, you know, this is the thing. you know, there's been at
9:42 pm
least a couple of occasions dang least a couple of occasions during the general election where he was put at significant risk and no doubt, you know, again, subsequently, he's got security . et cetera. you know, security. et cetera. you know, he puts himself out there in a way that some of the others never would. and there is an argument. and by the way, i don't i honestly don't think this is an arena. ed balls were doing that then. but there have been times where i've seen him on the media, and i think people have been whipping up stuff about him that actually make him about him that actually make him a target, and that that is quite irresponsible. but lee, i'll wizards onto to another topic now, because there's been a lot of chatter about a potential conservative reform party deal. this was at the tory party conference in birmingham this week. i could see you already shaking your head about that, but and you know, you the tory leadership hopefuls, though james cleverly. well, he's dead against it. i've got a clip and never forget reform didn't deliver brexit. >> we did reform, didn't cut immigration. i did. >> we did reform, didn't cut immigration. i did . and mark my immigration. i did. and mark my words, we will beat reform by being the best version of
9:43 pm
ourselves, not a pale version of anyone else . so no mergers, no anyone else. so no mergers, no deals . deals. >> okay, so it seems as though you actually agree with each other. neither of you want a deal. deal >> well, i mean, he's just said that he's cut immigration. i don't know what planet he's been living on patrick, for the last 2 or 3 years. it's gone through the roof. but look here, he said that reform today was a pale imitation of the conservative party why would we want to imitate the conservative party? they've just lost. been absolutely trashed at the last general election. they've failed on every single promise in their manifesto of 2019, immigration figures have gone through the roof. crime's through the roof. we've got criminals going out on the streets, which is as a result of not building enough prisons and creating enough prisons and creating enough prison spaces. honestly, mate, it's an absolute joke. why would we want to imitate the conservative party? i'm quite happy on his own, patrick. well, okay. >> fine. you may well be happy on your own and good for you.
9:44 pm
but the number of tory members wanting a merger with reform as his tory members, the number of them who want a merger, is just over 50%, i think. yeah, that's right. that's what i'm looking at here. just over 50%. okay. and the tories did get more votes and more seats than you. so in theory you could just join a winning team, couldn't you? >> well, they could they could join the winning team, patrick. they could join us. and this is the thing you know, you make a valid point about the majority of the membership. you know, we'd like to see a merger. i tell you what, if nigel farage went into the final two next week in the tory party leadership election, he would win by a country mile. so when james cleverly is spouting this nonsense , actually all he's nonsense, actually all he's doing is winding up his own members. >> okay. all right. lee. well, look, thank you very, very much. as ever. good to see you. you take care as lee anderson there, who is the reform uk mp for ashfield? lots to go out there. but there's a heck of a lot more coming your way because at 10:00 pm we're gonna have a little chat about this. >> 60% of them are not british
9:45 pm
nationals. >> this kind of scam ended in angenin >> this kind of scam ended in anger, in fact, is dangerous. it's >> well, look, it turns out that nigel was right. a new report has revealed that migrants are causing a surge in hiv cases in britain. oh, and labour have finally admitted that they can't close migrant hotels and they can't get rid of the backlog . so can't get rid of the backlog. so is labour's promise to tackle britain's migration crisis unravelling? i will give you my take at ten, but first prince harry jetted into south africa on his second consecutive solo tour with his wife meghan markle. so is he happier on his own and is the return of the harry we knew and loved imminent? former royal correspondent of the sun, charlie ray, joins me
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
welcome back to patrick christys tonight. so prince harry has embarked on yet another solo trip without his wife , meghan.
9:49 pm
trip without his wife, meghan. harry landed in south africa for his charity , sentebale, which his charity, sentebale, which was founded in 2006 to honour his mother, princess diana, and help disadvantaged children. it marks his second successive trip abroad without his wife meghan, and it follows his brief visit to the uk for the wellchild awards in london earlier this week. now royal insiders the quick to note that the real prince harry that the nation knew and loved. he appears to be back, i.e. he's not whingeing non—stop. joining me now is former royal correspondent of the sun, charlie ray. charlie, is it fair to say that harry is just happier without meghan? >> well, he's certainly happier without meghan on these sort of visits. >> i mean, i'm from the school that believes that meghan is neven that believes that meghan is never, ever going to come back to the uk. and thank god she's never coming back. >> but it's nice to see harry again back doing what we like harry to be doing. i've been a critic, as you well know, on your program and other programs as well of harry, but what he's been doing since he left the
9:50 pm
royal family. but this is great to see him, you know, coming across here doing wellchilds, which he's been linked with for 16, 17 years. and he's in 16,17 years. and he's in lesotho with sentebale, as you quite rightly said, the charity started to honour his mother. he's not going straight back to the to california. he's going to johannesburg for more charity work . and in seeing businessmen work. and in seeing businessmen to entice more money to help these charities. so he looks great. he looks smiley. i mean, every time he's been with meghan on his recent visits abroad, he's he's looked suddenly, you know, he does know smile. you know, he does know smile. you know meghan's the one who's he's he's playing second fiddle isn't he. >> that's that's the thing. when he's playing second fiddle he always looks awkward. he always looks like okay i better make sure that i don't stand in front of her by mistake or walk through a door first by mistake, which i would argue doesn't necessarily always look that healthy. but when he's on his own, you know he's not moaning
9:51 pm
all the time. >> no he's not. and it's great to see that, you see i think as well that they're , they're well that they're, they're togetherness of what they have done.is togetherness of what they have done. is people's fed up with it. they're fed up with the morning . they're fed up with the morning. they're fed up with the constant harping on about the cruel royal family that drove them away and everything else. and it's just great to see, that harry, he needs a venture to deflect from the failures . and deflect from the failures. and these are it. this is what he used to do when he was here. and it's great to see him back doing this again. it was interesting as well. when he was at wellchilds, there was a young lady called scarlett cripps who handed him a crystal heart. one for him, one for archie and one for him, one for archie and one for lilibet, and a purple crystal heart for meghan, which just goes to show that she'll have at least have one heart. >> well, there you go. but you know all this moaning and stuff, people just don't buy it. i mean, you know, according to reports, he inherited 8.5 million gbp because the queen mother left it to him in trust
9:52 pm
when he turned 40. i mean, you know. so. oh, sorry. woe is me. my know. so. oh, sorry. woe is me. my daddy cut me off. all right, well, hang on for another couple of years, mate, and you get £8 million. >> well , let's also not forget >> well, let's also not forget that he had got a he had a few million pounds in the bank already from his , you know, some already from his, you know, some of it from his late, from his late mother beforehand. so he's not short of a bob or two. he's almost as rich as you are, patrick. he's got, you know, plenty of money in the bank. he doesn't he doesn't need netflix. he doesn't need spotify. if he just carries on doing these sort of things, people will will take to him again. and say, harry's just a great guy. and it's interesting again, isn't it? patrick didn't see his father. his father's up in scotland. his brother's still got no time for him. won't won't put him in the diary. >> well, we've got so . so he >> well, we've got so. so he could go to. was it colombia? it was colombia, wasn't it. yeah. colombia. yeah. and then so he came to, to wellchilds. so he's, he's flown from the states to wellchilds. so that's a, that's a trek isn't it. and then he's
9:53 pm
gone to south africa so he can he can go to south africa. so it's not as if he couldn't have just nipped into balmoral is it, >> well no, because these things will have been planned in advance. but there was nothing made easy for him to see his father. i mean, his father's up there on holiday, and he's still battling away with his cancer and everything else. so, you know, he's got an excuse not to come down to london. but, i mean, harry could easily have gone up there if he'd so wanted to fit it in, as long as his father was happy to see him. these are not going to happen. these are not going to happen. the rift between, harry and his brother and his father is going to be there long standing. this is not going to be solved in a in a short time, >> what is interesting, i'm just reading this from a day ago, is that meghan markle has been caught off guard because prince william and kate middleton's charity plans a us expansion. so that was charity wars, isn't it really? could be. could be
9:54 pm
coming to the states. >> i mean i'm i'm not sure what she's doing. she's got something going with, riviera orchard. blow me down. whatever. it's whatever. it's called. i mean, i don't even know what what it is supposed to be. >> it's actually just called jam. i think she makes jam now. >> is it jam ? well, that'll be >> is it jam? well, that'll be i'll be interesting, but. but she's been engaged over the last week at least of this. this war with various new us publications, you know, saying that she raising up the bullying aspects of what she what she was like. she's had staffers on her own organisation archewell, you know, go on record and say she's the greatest thing since sliced bread. and everything else. you know, i don't think many people believe that. but remember, there was still the allegations going on over here of her bullying when she was here. but we don't know what the result of that inquiry was. but you know, there's never smoke without fire. >> i'll have to wait and see, won't we? and look, if they were
9:55 pm
a brand and that was part of their relationship. and now that brand has decided to consciously uncouple for commercial reasons, it does make you wonder, doesn't it, charlie? thank you very much as ever, charles. right there. former royal correspondent at the sun. now coming up, the bbc has had yet another shocker. >> the hezbollah and iran have played it fairly rationally, trying to always try to be very cautious in how they respond . cautious in how they respond. >> i'll explain exactly what's going on there very shortly. with former bbc executive and presenter roger bolton. he doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with that, but i'll fill you in next though hiv cases are at a 15 year high and apparently the link there is mass migration. we've got more fake asylum seekers as well, fake asylum seekers as well, fake child asylum seekers. and the backlog is bigger than ever. so is britain's migration crisis only about to get worse under labour? oh, and lord alli is under investigation . under investigation. >> ooh, a chilly start will give
9:56 pm
way to a lovely warm afternoon. boxed heat pumps , sponsors of boxed heat pumps, sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello, good evening and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, it's going to be a cold night ahead with some frost and fog in places, but generally high pressure is building in bringing plenty of fine and settled weather to come. still low pressure dominating across the south, so cloudier here with some showers but high pressure in the north is building across the country, bringing plenty of fine and settled weather. now as we head into this evening. still some cloud across the south, but it is generally breaking up as we head into the overnight period, so leaving plenty of clear spells largely dry, though still the chance of a few showers just poking into southeastern coasts, but otherwise a dry night for many. plenty of clear spells, so it will be feeling cold with some fog in places too, particularly in northern areas. might just be a little bit slow to clear by the time we reach tomorrow morning as well. so as i say , morning as well. so as i say, particularly across scotland, it will be feeling cold. likely to
9:57 pm
see some grass frost. may even see some grass frost. may even see a little bit of frost on your cars during the early hours of the morning, and there will be fog in places too. so do take care when travelling. this generally lifting and breaking through the course of the morning. but as i say, there may be some stubborn fog which is slow to clear, largely dry across the south. still those showers just feeding in to the southeast coast. but as i say, high pressure building, bringing plenty of fine and settled weather across the country. there is still the chance of the odd shower across the southeast, but you'll probably be unlucky if you do catch any largely dry. plenty of sunny spells and some lighter winds as well. so even though temperatures are generally round about average with highs of around 16 or 17 in the southeast, it will probably feel more pleasant in those lighter winds as we head into friday. still plenty of fine and settled weather around, but low pressure is trying to edge its way into the west, so cloudier here with some outbreaks of rain across northern ireland and western parts of scotland, and there will still be plenty of fine dry weather across the country as we head into the
9:58 pm
weekend. but we are expecting some more unsettled spells as well. so as always, stay tuned for all the details. bye for now . for all the details. bye for now. >> expect a warm front moving from the kitchen right through to the rest
9:59 pm
10:00 pm
gb news. >> it's 10 pm. i'm patrick christys tonight . a record christys tonight. a record number of fake child asylum seekers have entered the uk , and seekers have entered the uk, and 60% of them are not british nationals. >> this kind of scaremongering scaremongering. it's a fact, is dangerous . dangerous. >> nigel was right. a new report shows that migrants are causing a surge in hiv cases in britain, and fixing the chaos in the asylum system, ending asylum
10:01 pm
hotels, clearing the backlog and setting up a new returns unit. oh, whoopsie. because labour now admit that they can't close migrant hotels and they can't reduce the backlog that much. total failure. also, labour's sugar daddy, lord waheed ali is under investigation over alleged non—registration of interest. and there's a little bit more coming out tonight about all of this as well. more bad news for starmer and the democrat pick for vice president. had a shocker last night. >> i've become friends with school shooters . why? school shooters. why? >> oh, and remember when angela rayner went raving in ibiza ? i rayner went raving in ibiza? i called it at the time and i was right. it was yet another freebie , wasn't it? on my panel freebie, wasn't it? on my panel tonight is the director of popular conservatives, mark littlewood, landlord and activist adam brooks , and nina activist adam brooks, and nina myskow, as well the journalist and broadcaster. oh and. >> tsitsipas .
10:02 pm
>> tsitsipas. >> tsitsipas. >> well, you're not laughing now, are you? i will tell you why. carol vorderman has just sold her house in wales. get ready, britain, here we go . ready, britain, here we go. britain's broken borders causes a surge in hiv cases. next. >> good evening. the top stories from the gb newsroom. the prime minister has confirmed there will be no return to freedom of movement in any reset of relations between the uk and the european union. sir keir starmer has been speaking at a press conference in brussels, where he is meeting european union chiefs with a promise to put the brexit years behind us and form a closer relationship with the bloc. >> now, of course, there will be issues which are difficult to
10:03 pm
resolve and on areas on which we will stand firm, there will be no return to freedom of movement, no return to the customs union, no return to the single market. >> but we will find constructive ways to work together and deliver for the british people . deliver for the british people. >> would stay, it's emerged sir keir's paying back more than £6,000 worth of gifts and hospitality received since he became prime minister. downing street has confirmed he's covered the cost of six taylor swifts tickets for to the races and a clothing rental agreements with a high end designer favoured by his wife, lady starmer. it comes after sir keir and other cabinet members who vowed to clean up british politics, faced weeks of criticism for accepting tens of thousands of pounds worth of freebies from wealthy donors . freebies from wealthy donors. president biden says he does not support strikes on iran's nuclear sites in response to its missile attack against israel. iran launched over 180 ballistic missiles at israel last night,
10:04 pm
which the united states president previously called ineffective. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu vowed that iran would face consequences, with some analysts suggesting israel's response could be more forceful this time. potentially targeting iran's nuclear or oil facilities. joe biden has hinted at additional sanctions against iran . a doctor charged over the iran. a doctor charged over the death of friends star matthew perry has pleaded guilty to a charge of illegally distributing the drug ketamine. doctor mark chavez could face up to ten years in prison when he is sentenced. he's today entered his plea during an appearance in a court in los angeles. he's one of five people charged in connection with perry's death. two of which are scheduled to go on trial in march. perry died at the age of 54 last october. and finally, the king has been showing off his dance moves tonight ahead of his trip to samoa for the commonwealth heads of government meeting . holac
10:05 pm
of government meeting. holac well, it was a guess at his majesty's commonwealth reception who successfully persuaded him to join in a samoan dance lesson. the king and queen were hosting around 300 guests at saint james's palace tonight, including singer grace jones, dancer motsi mabuse and rugby player theo mcfarland . and i player theo mcfarland. and i suspect we'll be reporting on a lot more of his majesty's moves in a few weeks. that's it for now. time to return to patrick for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , or go to gbnews.com the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> britain's border madness just took another sinister twist. new hiv diagnoses have hit a 15 year high after a surge in the number of cases among migrants coming to england. that is according to the uk health security agency.
10:06 pm
let's look at the detail of this . let's look at the detail of this. 53% of new cases were from people who were diagnosed abroad, the majority from africa. in total, half of these cases were from people born in eastern africa, while a further 22% were from other parts of africa. about 8% of people were born in each of asia, and latin america and the caribbean. now, nigel farage did warn about this years ago and was vilified for it. >> there are 7000 diagnoses in this country every year for people who are hiv positive, but 60% of them are not british nationals. you can come into britain from anywhere in the world and get diagnosed with hiv and get the retroviral drugs that cost up to £25,000 per year per patient. >> this kind of scaremongering mongering rhetoric is dangerous. it is dangerous. it divides communities and it creates stigma to people who are ill. and i think you ought to be
10:07 pm
ashamed of yourself. >> well, yeah. according to the uk health security agency, it is a fact. i mean, here's another fact, right? a record 1317 asylum seekers have been caught out pretending to be children in the first half of this year. it is the highest for number the first six months of any year on record, and more than bind totals of all of 2017, 2018 and 2019. so when people say no, no, they're all children , you can they're all children, you can point them in the direction of those numbers. and indeed you can point them in the direction of this article from 2018, where schoolgirls asked, why is a 30 year old man in my maths class? that man claimed to be 15. do you remember, by any chance, when yvette cooper said this, fixing the chaos in the asylum system, ending asylum hotels, clearing the backlog and setting up a new returns unit to get in place of the gimmicks to actually get some grip again,
10:08 pm
labour are going to clear the backlog and end the use of migrant hotels. well, we currently have a record number of people in that backlog and believe it or not, the oldest case is 17 years old, which means that the chap tried to claim asylum under tony blair, lived through 14 years of the tories and then now hopes this labour government will give him a crack. and yvette cooper has just admitted that she can't end the use of hotels because the backlog is so high, which means we could still be paying for hotels in three years time at a cost of around £4 million a day. a labour source told the times it's going to take a lot longer to clear than we anticipated. yeah, so to summarise, hiv cases are at a 15 year high. more fake child asylum seekers than ever before. loads of migrant hotels for at least another three years. and the backlog is bigger than ever. labour seem to like other people's money, don't they? and we'll come on to that
10:09 pm
later. but i do wonder if starmer and cooper's smash the gangs promise was a check that they can't cash. let's get a thought for my panel this evening. i'm joined by the director of popular conservatives, mark littlewood, businessman and activist adam brookes, and the broadcaster and journalist nina myskow. mark i'll start with you on this. i mean , the migrant crisis is both mean, the migrant crisis is both a public health emergency as well as a financial emergency , well as a financial emergency, according to the figures there. >> no, that's right. and it was intriguing seeing that that clip. you don't have to like or be sympathetic to nigel farage to actually still want us to get the basic facts on the table. and i think it's terrible if people sort of say, well, you can't say that people might take offence. facts cannot be racist, and we need the facts in order to make these sort of determinations. look, let's be honest here. the system is totally broken from top to toe. the legal arrangements are crazy , the legal arrangements are crazy, andifs the legal arrangements are crazy, and it's my view that we'll have to leave the european convention of human rights in order to have
10:10 pm
a more streamlined system, because the list of appeals you can make are exhaustive. people have worked out ways to game the system. i mean, 17 years is an outlier, but it's just ludicrous. there's a single case that has taken that long, and then we've actually got the problem of basic fraud enforcement. i think by most judgements. i don't know exactly how you'd measure it. the home office is the most dysfunctional department in government, the most dysfunctional department in whitehall. and that's quite a high bar to clear because most of them are dysfunctional. that's got to be completely overhauled. look, i'm not going to tritely blame the labour government for this after what it is 100 days in office. but my worry is they don't have a coherent plan to even deal with it. >> and that's part of the problem because they told us they did. they told us we can clear the backlog. they told us we can end the use of migrant hotels and actually now here we are, less than 100 days in. the backlog is higher than ever. it turns out we've had a record number of fake child asylum seekers , and they've already seekers, and they've already said that they're going to continue using hotels for at
10:11 pm
least another three years. adam. look i've been doing a lot of soul searching recently, wondering what the future of this country holds for my children . children. >> i'm scared. this country facilitates tens of thousands of unknown, unchecked men from different cultures being put into our communities. we're even putting them in our classrooms because these migrants are pretending to be children. now our social housing is getting filled up by foreign born . our filled up by foreign born. our own poorest will not be able to get social housing in just a few years. we're now seeing a surge in fatal diseases and once controlled diseases like hiv, we are. we are putting ourselves in danger by letting these people carry on coming across on these boats in france, they only grant around a quarter of those asylum seekers. their applications in this country, it's more like three quarters. so it's pretty
10:12 pm
80%. it's pretty obvious that many of those that are coming to this country are simply economic migrants. >> how do you feel about that when you see some of the health figures there? and by the way, i should say as well, when it comes to those hiv figures, it's not just channel migrants that accounts for it's people generally to illegal migrants as well. absolutely, how do you feel when you see that the idea there that you know, it was deemed to be you couldn't say that out loud, but it is a fact. >> it's a fact and it's a tragic fact. >> it's a fact and it's a tragic fact . and i do think it is fact. and i do think it is a worry. and these if particularly if you look at the incidence of hiv, in particular in sub—saharan africa, in particular south africa , it's particular south africa, it's absolutely, you know , the hiv is absolutely, you know, the hiv is rife throughout the population. and i don't think we're getting migrants so much from south africa as from east africa, but east africa is responsible for many of those cases. it is an
10:13 pm
absolute tragic situation, and the thing is that i'm not sitting here and saying we should. you know, let anybody come in and let's all, you know, look after them. i'm saying that they have illegal migrants, whether they are healthy or unhealthy , do have a legal right unhealthy, do have a legal right to come as ask for refuge on our in our shores. the incidence of, problems that arise from migrants, adam, is, you know , migrants, adam, is, you know, completely conflating every know the stats. hang on one second. no, no, no, you haven't even heard what i'm saying in denmark. prove that. adam. adam. adam. you hadn't even hear what i said. adam. adam adam. you didn't even wait. you didn't even wait to hear what i was going to say. thank you . going to say. thank you. patrick. otherwise, i'd say you're another member of the bloody taliban here silencing a woman. absolutely. no absolutely
10:14 pm
no. absolutely. >> the other week, you called me a lunatic. and patrick. and now you're calling me the taliban. okay nina. >> well, thank you for letting me speak. now, when i'm allowed to speak. you're a man allowing me to speak. thank you very much. >> but in when i was speaking. >> but in when i was speaking. >> guys, let's keep it on. just keep it on topic. >> i answered. i answered the points you made. you didn't even let me make a point. okay, okay. the point i'm making is that adam is seems to conflate every single problem that has been caused by 14 years of tory misrule and blaming it on immigrants. now, that is divisive and inflationary, and i will call it out when i hear it. what i was going to say like facts. >> you don't like the fact that migrants are disproportionately committing sex crimes and violent crimes across europe. >> that is not that is not the point we are making. that is not i don't know that fact. >> that is a fact. >> that is a fact. we >> that is a fact. we don't know. i don't know that i'd like to see it in black and white.
10:15 pm
the problem is the point. the problem? the problem is that we've had 14 years and we're talking about migrants. we had 14 years of solution, nina. the solution is to get a home office. that bloody well works. and we haven't had that. now, hang on a minute. look, hang on a minute. >> monologue or a discussion. >> monologue or a discussion. >> this is a monologue at this point because i've. because i've listened to monologues supposed to be a discussion of that. >> so here is the problem. we've got to take a hard headed look at this. we can be compassionate about it, but we need to be realistic about it. the national health service, which seems to be permanently on its knees, can't realistically be a world health service. so we've actually got to make a hard headed decision about whether you want drugs to treat hiv to be available to a large number of people who are not presently british citizens. you can say yes, but then you're going to have to find a very large amount of money from somewhere. i think it's perfectly reasonable to segment all of these different issues, whether it's crime , issues, whether it's crime, whether it's the cost of health treatment, and you might argue you want to provide it, but it will have to be funded and each in each and every area, i think
10:16 pm
there are problems around immigration because the system has broken down and rather than just saying, well, 14 years of tory misrule and labour's only beenin tory misrule and labour's only been in for three months, i'm not making a partisan point. i want to actually get to what the pubuc want to actually get to what the public policy solution would be. >> but we need a home office that works. if each case was processed within six months, we wouldn't have this problem. >> but unfortunately, i've just saw a story just before i came on air, which i think we're probably going to talk about a bit later on. the civil service has just voted to go on all out strike because because they were about to be forced to do two days a week in the office. >> they will need to be brought into line because and this is an anecdotal story, somebody we know, the brother in law is head of a team at the asylum processing. he works from home. right. he works from home on the golf course. his wife brilliant, taps the mice . reassuring? taps the mice. reassuring? absolutely. so they say. so we need to get people back in the office. we need to get people working between april and june, the number of cases solved by
10:17 pm
the number of cases solved by the process went down from 14,000 to 3000, which is ridiculous. it's the home office. >> the other point here is it cuts and labour are bang in trouble at the moment about about, you know, allegations with sleaze about allegations with sleaze about allegations with and it is allegations of things like corruption or, you know a bit grubby. it's a bit grubby. right. and we are very much coming on to that because there is quite a big bit about lord alli that is landing quite soon, but when you look at this, it's also about lies and deceit, isn't it? something else worth keeping an eye on lies and deceit when it comes to the labour party. and if they've told us we've got this plan, we can clear the backlog, we can clear the hotels, and we're all going to be paying £4 million a day for at least another three years. well, i'm sorry they weren't being honest about that, weren't being honest about that, were they? >> no, they wasn't at all. and, you know, they made all these promises. they funnily enough, they didn't mention that they was going to go after pensioners before the election because that, you know, people wouldn't have voted for that tuition fees for, for students that they was going to abolish them. a few years ago. now they're putting
10:18 pm
them up 13.5%. so how many more lies are there? and i do not trust this labour government on immigration because unfortunately, people like nina and people on on the left seem to think this rose tinted vision that we've got scientists and doctors coming across on dinghies from france when it clearly isn't the case. >> it's not a rose tinted vision. there are people who have brains. there are people who are capable having a having a career that can contribute to our society . one of those young, our society. one of those young, asylum seekers who was found out to have said he was a kid and he turned out to be where was he caught? he was caught in a school, aged 19, doing his gcses. >> now, that's hardly founded by 15 year old girls. >> well, he's 90. he was 19. this is a particular one. appropriate? no. come on. obvious. >> that's what the british education system. >> no no no no no. but you're you're you're you're impounded by a load of girls. no he's not. >> you're you're implying in classrooms with children.
10:19 pm
>> i agree, i agree. that's wrong. but you're implying that they're all useless individuals who are only out to, you know, measure cohorts, nina. >> and you can make overall judgements about the data about that cohort. you don't need to tar everybody with the same brush, but public policy requires you to look at data sets, work out where problems are, and then think through what the solutions. >> the problem is the home office. get it working. get people processed, a home office and a government that works for the working people and the people of this country, not a home for office people that are born abroad. >> okay, fine. look, okay, so thatis >> okay, fine. look, okay, so that is that it's been quite a bombshell day when it comes to illegal and, you know, arguably illegal and, you know, arguably illegal migration as well. some health stats there about hiv. also, the idea that we've got record levels of fake child asylum seekers. it's not great is it, at the moment in britain. but anyway, it is time. ironically for the great british giveaway and your chance to win the equivalent of having an extra three grand in your bank account every single month for the next year. a whopping £36,000 in tax free cash. here's

listening or watching on demand. good luck. >> okay, so coming up shortly. i've got the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. can i just tell you about a couple of things that are absolute corkers. all right. so we're going to be talking about the latest from lord alli. he's under investigation. there's some interesting stuff there when it comes to paying other people's expenses claims as well. and the civil service have announced that they are going to go on an all out strike because they don't want to work in the office for two days. a week. and also unions are protesting outside dale vince's office. all right. you know, the big green quy- right. you know, the big green guy. it's got it all this pay per view. anyway. do you remember this ? well, i've just remember this? well, i've just won a tenner because i called this at the time angela rayner's rave in ibiza was a freebie paid for by an american music management company. i'll bring you all the very latest soon. >> but first, the hezbollah and iran have played it fairly rationally, trying to always try to be very cautious in how they respond . respond. >> so as iranian missiles rained
10:22 pm
down over israel, the bbc ianed down over israel, the bbc invited a guest to on wax lyrical about hezbollah and iran's quote , restraint. well, iran's quote, restraint. well, i'll tell you why. all was not as it seemed with that guest and ask, is the beeb institutionally biased against israel? former bbc executive and presenter roger bolton joins me
10:23 pm
10:24 pm
10:25 pm
next.
10:26 pm
welcome back to patrick christys. tonight all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages are coming very, very soon. and there are some absolute corkers on there. i mean, a real, real, real story. so stay tuned for that. but first, as iranian missiles rained down over israel last night, the bbc did what it does best and found a so—called expert to brand iran rational. >> but we need, i mean here. this is not for the israelis to decide. i think the international community has to make sure that whatever israel doesis make sure that whatever israel does is not upending the regional order as we know it. and the us has a responsibility. so we've been in this cause for 12 months now of constantly red lines being crossed, mostly by the israelis and the hezbollah. and iran have played it fairly rationally, trying to always try to be very cautious in how they respond, trying to leave off ramps where they could. the netanyahu government has kind of lost the opportunity at every sort of junction to use an off ramp that was given to them. >> so that was the king's college london's academic doctor andreas krief , whose own website
10:27 pm
andreas krief, whose own website boasts that he spent four years in qatar, where he was involved in qatar, where he was involved in negotiating a contract between the state of qatar, the uk ministry of defence and king's college london. qatar is, of course, a key financial backer of terror groups like hamas. now, it does come after three jewish organisations backed a report that concluded that the bbc was institutionally hostile to israel. i'm joined now by a former bbc executive and presenter, roger bolton. rogen and presenter, roger bolton. roger, thank you very, very much. this is yet another case of the bbc managing to find a so—called impartial voice that turns out to be anything but impartial . to be anything but impartial. >> no, it's the bbc's responsibility to talk to a wide range of people and it should be duly impartial, which means that it doesn't have to accept the word of people who support terrorism or whatever. >> but it does have a job to properly examine what they say. but imagine that it didn't talk to people like the person you mentioned. imagine if it only talked to support of israel.
10:28 pm
well, what would it be doing? >> but it's how they pass it off, though, roger, isn't it? you get there. here is a noble, learned, independent academic. they don't tell you about his history with qatar and all of that stuff. i mean, they do this all the. but can i just ask, can i just say to you, look, they do it all the time. so we've got here the bbc failed to tell us all that a doctor was an activist. the bbc hides an a&e doctors union activist background. they do this all the time. i'm looking at a page here in front of me called the watch. >> you're alleging they're what you're alleging that the systematic attempt by the bbc to mislead the public and to not reveal details of people's background, that the that suggestion that the organisation itself is set out to deceive, it makes mistakes. it can't always check every single thing about everybody if they turn out to be a labour councillor. >> roger. >> roger. >> well, hold on a second. so, so in the terms of the middle east, it has to show a wide range of opinion, but its job is to report what people think and
10:29 pm
then to test as far as possible what they say. and by the way, this suggestion that the whole of the jewish community, for example, in this country thinks the bbc is biased is not the case. 80% the institute for jewish policy research in september discovered that 80% of british jews disapprove of netanyahu, and most are pessimistic about israel. so there are a whole raft of jews in this country who don't agree with the daily telegraph. >> that's fine, but but i would counter that by saying the bbc, the bbc breached its own guidelines 1500 times, according to a report. a report or a report that the bbc conveniently refused to accept. they do this every time. so? >> so let me tell you that report. that report is called the acheson report . it's made by the acheson report. it's made by a man who is a british israeli businessman. it's been funded by israeli business people. it employs a range of people using ai employs a range of people using al to analyse program material. >> is the crucial bit there, though, roger? isn't it ? that's. though, roger? isn't it? that's. that's designed. the ai is designed to take out the
10:30 pm
argument that you have just made that essentially, i'm paraphrasing here because this man has vested interests with israel, that therefore there must be a problem, a human problem with this report. so that's why they used ai, isn't it? >> no no no in— >> no no no no. it? >> no no no no. because the way in which you use ai, >> no no no no. because the way in which you use al, or the way in which you use al, or the way in which you interpret the facts or evidence produced by ai is crucial. let me give you an example. big point in the report is that the reference to genocide is used far more about israel than any one else. well, thatis israel than any one else. well, that is because south africa has alleged israel is committing genocide and has taken that to the court of justice. so when you report a fact , roger, i'm you report a fact, roger, i'm reading the bbc, the bbc brought in a human rights lawyer called jacqueline mckenzie onto the today programme to chat about the first voluntary rwanda removal scheme. >> then the bbc seems to have forgotten to mention that she has a role advising the labour party as a member on their race equality taskforce. i'll go down the page. another bbc failure to declare their commentators activism on politics live. this time they brought on a
10:31 pm
headmaster to chat about 12 hour school days. surprise, surprise, he was full of criticism. when it turns out, it turns out, it turns out the slightest little dig of this guy's social media profile. turns out he regularly attends labour events. i do put it to you that it looks a lot like the bbc deliberately put labour activists and left wing activists, and sometimes anti —israel activists, and sometimes anti—israel activists on the air and try to pass them off as independent commentators. >> do you really suggest look all journalists make mistakes. bbc news will make mistakes . bbc news will make mistakes. there may be individual instances where they should have probed more clearly with a background of people, but what you're alleging, there is a systematic attempt by all of the bbc deliberately, either in relation to israel or in relation to israel or in relation to israel or in relation to the labour party or whatever, to present a deliberately deceive the british public. you just think they're incompetent or are you just you just think this is incompetent or incompetent conspiracy. you're living in a fantasy land of conspiracy theories. it's absolutely right. you should scrutinise bbc output. but this absurd idea that there's some
10:32 pm
overall plot in the bbc to mislead the public, they make a lot of mistakes. >> they make a lot of mistakes given, given them, given the given, given them, given the given the resources that we all pay given the resources that we all pay for. i found it astonishing. you know, i mean, again, that's different a point if you say they're not good and professional enough , fine. professional enough, fine. >> you make a point. maybe true or not. if you allege they're biased systematically, you have to provide evidence, not just 1 or 2 cases. what do you suggest ? or 2 cases. what do you suggest? there are so many journalists in the bbc there. jewish journalists. there are muslim journalists. there are muslim journalists there. >> i just find it remarkable. i just thought, look, i just find it remarkable, you know, again here, you know, they brought on a charge, brought on, they brought on a chap to talk about rail infrastructure. and it turns out he's literally a labour party city councillor, a one time labour prospective parliamentary candidate, you know, and this happens all the time. look, roger. look, roger, i'm afraid i've got some breaking news. i'm sorry , i'm sorry. >> let me have a word. you've made these points. if you've got the bbc should always explain the bbc should always explain the background to people. and if they haven't done that, you're right. and they're wrong. but
10:33 pm
that doesn't mean there's a systematic system of failure. >> i'm going to have to go, rogen >> i'm going to have to go, roger, because i've got some breaking news. i do really appreciate you coming on, and i do really appreciate the nature of you putting out that side of the case. so thank you very much. roger bolton there. former bbc executive and presenter. now on to that breaking news. a massive blast was heard across lebanon's beirut just minutes ago. reuters are reporting that this evening i believe that we can actually have a look very shortly at that blast. so it does appear there's very concerning news now, which is that there was a massive blast across beirut and this i think is the moment. yes. it is. across beirut and this i think is the moment. yes. it is . there is the moment. yes. it is. there we go. so for those of you watching on radio, that is a massive mushroom cloud there. that has now been confirmed as an israeli strike hitting beirut. and that is according to security sources. is it possible to just see that video one more time? so this is the moment that
10:34 pm
there was a massive israeli strike in beirut. it'sjust there was a massive israeli strike in beirut. it's just been reported in the last few minutes. let's just see if we can have another look at that . can have another look at that. there you go. so that is central beirut . so reuters are reporting beirut. so reuters are reporting that an israeli strike has hit central beirut and that there is a huge towering inferno. as a result of that, we will bring you much more on that as we get it coming up , though, i'll bring it coming up, though, i'll bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. and, as well, it's something that's worth noting, i think, given some of the stuff that's doing the rounds about labour at the moment. do you remember when angela rayner had a big night out? well, i'm very happy because i won a bet around the office. lo and behold, that was yet another freebie. and it comes the same day that keir starmer has had to pay back six grand's worth of gifts and hospitality, and he could be on the hook
10:35 pm
£50,000 more, bring up to speed with the latest twists
10:36 pm
10:37 pm
10:38 pm
>> this sunday, join me, camilla tominey for an exclusive interview with one of the most controversial, influential and unique political figures of our time. borisjohnson unique political figures of our time. boris johnson will be in studio discussing his new memoir, unleashed, the gripping story of how he dealt with plotting politicians problematic princes and a pandemic. from bohs princes and a pandemic. from boris bikes to brexit and everything else in between . this everything else in between. this sunday at 9:30 am, only on gb news, the people's channel, britain's news channel . britain's news channel. >> okay, you've just seen a promo there for camilla tominey interviewing boris johnson and you're really going to have to watch that on gb news, because i've just seen a tweet by laura kuenssberg at the bbc. i'll read this to you while prepping to interview boris johnson tomorrow. by mistake, i sent our
10:39 pm
briefing notes to him in a message meant for my team. that obviously means it's not right for the interview to go ahead. it's very frustrating and there's no point pretending it's anything other than embarrassing and disappointing, as there are plenty of important questions to be asked. but red faces aside, honesty is the best policy. see you on sunday. so, so watch camilla tominey on sunday on gb news for the only place. i think with bojo. so all right. anyway, i've got some front pages for you.so i've got some front pages for you. so should we work our way through those, the daily express security chiefs fear rise in terror attacks in the uk. this is the threat of, well , frankly, is the threat of, well, frankly, islamist sleeper cells here in britain. we did cover that quite a lot yesterday. let's go to the times. eight israeli soldiers die in battle with hezbollah . die in battle with hezbollah. and they've got a picture there of defiant israelis standing on top of the remains of an iranian missile. let's go to the metro now. iran must pay the price. ex—prime minister urges strikes on nuclear plants to avenge missile strike. we just brought to you moments ago a huge
10:40 pm
explosion in central beirut . explosion in central beirut. there, as the israeli strike back. the eye carries the same story. israel vows rapid revenge strike on iran. united states will not support netanyahu's attack on iran's nuclear sites. i've got a feeling that they might just do it anyway. let's go to the guardian . us warns go to the guardian. us warns israel we won't support attacks on iranian nuclear sites, okay. fine. the daily telegraph. uk forces not up to defending israelis. raf lacks the weapons to hit iranian missiles, and destroyers are ill equipped , destroyers are ill equipped, says wallace, so there we are. now i'm going to whizz us over here to the front of the daily mail and use this as a launch pad for our big talking point, starmer coughs up six grand to pay starmer coughs up six grand to pay for his freebies. the prime minister forks out for taylor swift tickets and his wife's clothes as donor. lord alli is probed by a house of lords watchdog. so look first, it emerged that the labour peer at the centre of the freebie scandal, lord waheed alli, is
10:41 pm
under investigation by a parliamentary watchdog now over a potential breach of the code of conduct. but it gets worse for lord alli because in the past couple of hours it's emerged that he bailed out a labour baroness after she was found to have wrongly claimed £125,000 in the parliamentary expenses scandal. and then just moments later, sir keir starmer announced that he's paid back £6,000 worth of gifts and hospitality. the pm is covering the cost of six taylor swift tickets for days at the races, and a clothing rental agreement with a high end designer favoured by his wife, lady victoria starmer. and to top it all off, we've obviously got angela rayner's ibiza nightclub fiasco. makes sense . fiasco. makes sense. >> we said we would still be friends and bingo, we all called it, didn't we? >> that was a freebie paid for by an american talent management company. mark this is growing and growing and growing and you
10:42 pm
just sense, don't you, that there might be more to come? >> yes . i there might be more to come? >> yes. i mean, it's been like pulling teeth, patrick, hasn't it? you know, each day passes and some other new bit comes out. keir starmer started to repay some of it. is he going to repay some of it. is he going to repay all of it? and the whole terrible problem for, for the prime minister and the deputy prime minister and the deputy prime minister and the deputy prime minister is they could not have been clearer about this. they were going to be completely different working for public service , not self service at service, not self service at all. a breath of fresh air. a complete change from the sleazy tories. absolutely unbelievable. and that put aside the rules for the moment because oftentimes when politicians get into trouble, they say, well, i abided by the rules, i tick the right box. or if i didn't, it's a clerical error. i just question the judgement. i mean, why would you take holidays and clothes from a rich donor? very odd. green. i'm a bit more sympathetic to sort of what you might call corporate hospitality. if somebody wants to meet you and takes you out
10:43 pm
for dinner or a night at the opera, or a rugby match or a football match, i can see that could be part and parcel of your job. but holidays in ibiza, what the hell has that got to do with being deputy prime minister? >> i think i think it was just the dj booth that she paid for. >> i mean, it's still clearly just a straightforward leisure activity . it's clearly nothing activity. it's clearly nothing to do with the development of pubuc to do with the development of public policy. >> how do we know that it was paid? did she declare it? yeah, she's now declared. well, there you are. that's completely transparent, surely. >> yeah, but it's not the. and it's not whether it's transparent. >> it's not hypocrisy. or is it hypocrisy? >> well, why is the deputy prime minister receiving gifts? >> could i could i ask why holidays are they all but but but they've declared it. >> it has been declared. >> it has been declared. >> there is something i want to zone in on because this to me seems like a mistake. on top of a mistake from keir starmer to pay a mistake from keir starmer to pay back six grand for a taylor swift tickets and his wife's clothes. so we were told by wes streeting that it was just like giving to charity. lord waheed alli didn't want anything from
10:44 pm
this money other than to help eanh this money other than to help enrich a labour government and therefore all of our lives, he was told. it's fine. he told people he told. he told numerous journalists that most people at home would think fair do's, say they are taking hospitality. well, why pay it back then? why has he just paid back six grand? >> so they need something that they can put out there a good deed. and this is the pr that they've come up with. let's pay back 6000. but what about the other 101,000 that he's, he's received in gifts and freebies since 2019? he's still the highest gifted mp in parliament. this this is just a pr exercise, but it's a bad pr exercise. >> adam, because he's retreating oneinch >> adam, because he's retreating one inch at a time, so he hasn't sort of drawn a line, but he's paid back what he's taken, what's what's been given to him since he came into office. >> that's that's the difference. but but before he was just the leader of the opposition, you know, a couple of weeks ago, there was apparently no problem here. >> so he's he's he's resigning these, these these were all declared. >> yeah. it's all declared. they
10:45 pm

some cloud across the south, but it is generally breaking up as we head into the overnight period, so leaving plenty of clear spells largely dry, though still the chance of a few showers just poking into southeastern coasts. but otherwise a dry night for many. plenty of clear spells, so it will be feeling cold with some fog in places too, particularly in northern areas. might just be a little bit slow to clear by the time we reach tomorrow morning. as well. so as i say, particularly across scotland, it will be feeling cold. likely to see some grass frost. may even see some grass frost. may even see a little bit of frost on your cars during the early hours of the morning, and there will be fog in places too. so do take care when travelling. this generally lifting and breaking through the course of the morning. but as i say, there may be some stubborn fog which is slow to clear, largely dry across the south. still, those showers just feeding in to the southeast coast. but as i say, high pressure building in bringing plenty of fine and settled weather across the country, there is still the chance of the odd shower across the southeast, but you'll probably be unlucky if you do catch any largely dry. plenty of sunny spells and some lighter
10:56 pm
winds as well. so even though temperatures are generally around about average with highs of around 16 or 17 in the southeast, it will probably feel more pleasant in those lighter winds as we head into friday. still, plenty of fine and settled weather around, but low pressure is trying to edge its way into the west. so cloudier here with some outbreaks of rain across northern ireland and western parts of scotland, and there will still be plenty of fine, dry weather across the country as we head into the weekend. but we are expecting some more unsettled spells as well. so as always, stay tuned for all the details. bye for now . for all the details. bye for now. >> we can expect clear skies leading to a light and warm day lovely boxt solar of weather on gb
