>> good afternoon britain. it's 12:00 on friday the 15th of november. i'm tom harwood and i'm miriam cates policing tweets, not streets. children as young as nine are among those being probed by police over non—crime hate incidents, like insults in school playgrounds or indeed, social media posts. what's going on.7 >> and economic growth stalls. the british economy barely grew between july and september. the chancellor says she's not satisfied with four months into this government. >> there's a lot more to do to turn around the growth performance of the last decade or so . or 50. >> or so. >> theme takes shape. the us president elect has ruffled feathers by picking vaccine sceptic robert f kennedy jr to be his new health secretary and a migrant crisis, a record

number of migrants have been found packed into the same small dinghy, making the dangerous voyage across the channel . voyage across the channel. farmers fury. farmers across the country are gearing up to protest against the government's inheritance tax raid. gb news reporter jack carson will be live from a farm in lancashire and a blockbuster boxing bout. >> mike tyson takes on youtuber jake paul tomorrow. will it be the fight of the century or a celebrity circus .7 celebrity circus? >> running through the theme of today's show will be the peculiar state of affairs. we've got ourselves into with these so—called non—crime hate incidents . if these incidents incidents. if these incidents are not crimes as their name would suggest, what on earth is the police doing investigating exactly the idea of gathering intelligence is something that you more associate with the secret services, rather than

police, who are there just to uphold the law. >> if you've not broken a law, why are the police involved , why are the police involved, especially children? >> yeah, i mean, it's crazy enough going afterjournalists like allison pearson, but going against eight year old children for playground insults. i mean, this stuff is beyond orwellian and all these crimes crimes, i should say in inverted commas, are predicated on the fact that there's an intention of hostility behind them. >> well, who is there to judge that? normally our law is very clear cut. if you've stolen something, it doesn't matter what your intention was , you've what your intention was, you've stolen it. whereas these so—called crimes are about your intention, of course, is a thought crime. at the end of the day , very worrying. day, very worrying. >> it's so worrying because it's so subjective. you don't get the clear basis of law on which all sort of western societies are built. i mean , sort of how we built. i mean, sort of how we moved on from the sort of medieval era was we stopped having arbitrary rule from people who are unaccountable and moved to defining law freedom. under law, everyone is under the

same law. but if you have subjective views being policed differently, then we're not all under the same law. >> and the beauty of this country's legal system that's actually been copied around the world and seen as a real example of great law is the common law system, where everything is allowed except specific things that are banned. and the trouble with speech is what kind of speech are you trying to ban? and if they're not crimes and never end up in court, fair enough. but then there's still this chilling effect, because people then don't dare say what they think, because they don't want to knock at the door like allison pearson. >> well, what do you think about all of this? do post your own thought crimes and indeed comments and views. visit us at gbnews.com/yoursay. that's to all come after your latest headunes all come after your latest headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> tom. miriam, thank you very much. the top stories. the uk's economy barely grew between july and september, with uncertainty about the budget being blamed for weak growth. it was expected

to meet the same o.2% for weak growth. it was expected to meet the same 0.2% growth figures reported in germany, and japan, but instead the economy grew by nought point 1%. the gdp figures have pushed the uk towards the bottom of the g7 growth table for the third quarter of the year, chancellor rachel reeves said. she's not satisfied with the figures. >> of course i'm not content with the gdp numbers that we've seen today . if everything was seen today. if everything was fine, we wouldn't be taking the measures that we are to try and unlock the growth that i know exists in the economy, but hasn't really been felt either in living standards or in the competitiveness of our economy these last few years. that's why in my mansion house speech last night, i set out a number of measures to unlock long term patient capital from our pension funds to get better returns to savers, but crucially, to free up investment to invest in, start up and scale up businesses, and in the opportunities for infrastructure investment in britain. >> also responding to the

figures this morning, shadow chancellor mel stride says they're extremely disappointing . they're extremely disappointing. >> further evidence that i'm afraid this government has no plan for growth. i mean, in fact, in the budget as we know, national insurance on employers rocketing up, which is going to be inflationary, depress wages and lead to higher unemployment, i'm afraid even if you look at the forecasts that the obr produced at the time of the budget, that shows lower growth across the forecast than they were forecasting when we were in office back in the spring. so great to talk about growth, but there's a difference between talking about it and actually delivering it, rachel reeves told city chiefs she plans to create pension mega funds that will power growth in the economy and reward british savers. >> in her first mansion speech as chancellor, ms reeves announced plans for the mega funds, which she said could bnngin funds, which she said could bring in £80 billion to invest in businesses and infrastructure. she addressed issues of financial instability and promised to make economic growth labour's central mission in the coming years. the mega

funds will mirror schemes in australia and canada , where australia and canada, where pension funds take advantage of size to invest in assets that have higher growth potential . have higher growth potential. now, just a day after the prime minister announced the significant arrest of a suspected migrant boat supplier, people smugglers have launched more small boats from french beaches. more small boats from french beaches . gb news can exclusively beaches. gb news can exclusively reveal that multiple launches were attempted on a stretch of beach south of the french port of boulogne this morning. a number of the launches were intercepted by french police and a suspected boat smuggler was also arrested. but at least two small boats made it to uk waters and those on board are being taken by a border force vessel to the migrant processing facility at dover harbour . the facility at dover harbour. the duke of sussex is one of two claimants whose claims are still live against the publisher of the sun over allegations of unlawful information gathering, his barrister has told the high court today . a hearing today court today. a hearing today heard that harry and former labour deputy leader tom watson
