>> good afternoon britain. it's 12:00 on monday the 4th of november. i'm tom harwood and i'm emily carver channel crackdown sir keir starmer has pledged an extra £75 million to smash the gangs. but considering we've already given france alone £800 million to solve the problem, will this little extra cash really be what stops those boats.7 >> that's the question. and farmers driven to tears. that's the claim from the national farmers union as the budget's family farm tax raid risks decimating the industry. today, they've met with the environment secretary. but will he and rachel reeves change their minds and 48 hours to go.7 >> and 48 hours to go? >> a shock poll suggests a last minute surge for camilla. but could the us presidential election be swinging back to the democrats, or is it all too just volatile to measure? we're checking in on the final day of campaigning and labour race row. >> keir starmer has so far

refused to suspend the whip from a labour mp who shared accusations that the new tory leader, kemi badenoch , leader, kemi badenoch, represents white supremacy in black face. why the silence ? black face. why the silence? >> we were looking at some comparisons for this extra £75 million. it's sometimes hard to sort of gauge what an amount of money is when you're talking about millions and billions and all the rest of it. but emily, you looked at it in terms of how equivalent it is to nhs spending. >> yeah. so apparently last year we spent £184 million a day on the nhs . so you do the math. the nhs. so you do the math. there is more money going into the nhs now. so essentially this extra £75 million to smash the gangsis extra £75 million to smash the gangs is less than half of what we spend on the nhs. on a day to day. er so there you go. could

be as, as little as a third. >> so that's, that's sort of a measure of the prioritisation. i suppose, of this government. i mean there's been a big set piece speech but, but count the money less than half a day of spending on the nhs. and how much are we. >> have we given to the french, tom. >> £800 million over the last decade, £800 million. >> so this makes me think is it about the money going towards smashing the gangs , going smashing the gangs, going towards this new border security command , or is the fact that the command, or is the fact that the numbers continue to increase because we have zero deterrent? >> it is an interesting point . >> it is an interesting point. of course, crossings are up on this year. i remember reporting a couple of weeks ago that this year alone we've surpassed the number of crossings for last year and there's still two months to go. so we're going to have a considerably higher number of crossings this year. >> but perhaps you think it's a good thing that keir starmer is turning his attention to this issue.i turning his attention to this issue. i believe he's going to be in hungary as well, talking about illegal migration throughout the week. so perhaps he is realising that this is a
