our streets are totally out >> our streets are totally out of control. >> plus, to talk about winter pressures on the nhs. and now winter is a 12 month period. there's no end to the constant waiting because ambulances should not be sat outside hospitals. >> when people are dying. it's another kick in the teeth for pensioners. labour refuses to rule out stopping free prescriptions. but. >> or you shut your mouth and look at my wand, loser. manny. >> civil servants on more than 100 grand a year have received £14,000 in bonuses for helping to bring in cuts to the winter fuel payments. on my panel tonight is broadcaster and columnist esther krakow, commentator alex armstrong and journalist jonathan lis. oh, and yeah, huge earthquake in nepal, sadly leaving at least 95 people dead. meanwhile, here in britain, well, trains are

they're appealing for witnesses to come forward. in other news, jess phillips says she has more important things to be thinking about than elon musk after he accused her of being a rape genocide apologist. the safeguarding minister has hit back at the billionaire's criticism of her for the first time. >> being in the spotlight like this , and the intimation of what this, and the intimation of what elon musk is. the disinformation, as i believe the prime minister referred to it as has put out about me, is endangering. >> it's endangering you. i just want to be absolutely clear. are you saying that as a result of some of musk's tweets, the threat to you has gone up and things are in place to protect your safety? yes. >> musk made the comments after miss phillips denied a request for the home office to lead a pubuc for the home office to lead a public inquiry into the horrific abuse in oldham, saying it should be done at a local level. the town in greater manchester

was one of a number of areas where girls as young as 11 were groomed and raped over a decade ago in a national scandal that was exposed in 2013. professor alexis jay, who chaired the independent inquiry, said today that people should just get on with implementing the recommendations made in previous inquiries. the comments come as the prime minister dismissed calls for a national inquiry yesterday, accusing the conservatives of jumping on a bandwagon. shadow justice secretary robert jenrick today called once again for that national inquiry. a home office spokesman issued the following statement we are working at pace across government to drive forward real action to implement the recommendations of the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse, and mehta has announced its scrapping its third party fact checking service in the us after nine years and replacing it with a community note system similar to the one used by x, where commenting on the accuracy of posts is left to users. in a video posted alongside a blog

post, chief executive mark zuckerberg said third party moderators were too politically biased and it was time to get back to our roots around free expression. the move comes as zuckerberg and other tech executives seek to improve relations with us president elect donald trump before he takes office later this month. donald trump has criticised meta for its fact checking policy, calling it censorship of right wing voices. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, it's back 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/alerts. >> well, it's just gone 9:00 pm and many of you will have probably just put your children to bed. you never think that maybe this is the last time you'll ever do that. a manhunt is underway for the killer of a 14 year old schoolboy, stabbed

to death in broad daylight on a london bus. earlier today, we got reports of an attack. and then it emerged that yet another child had fallen victim to britain's knife crime epidemic. >> paramedics treated a 14 year old boy at the scene who had received stab wounds, but really, sadly, he died shortly after medics arrived. the community can expect to see an enhanced police presence around the scene and the surrounding area. >> last year, a schoolgirl was stabbed to death at a bus stop in croydon. she was 15, with a whole life ahead of her. yesterday we played you this clip of this alleged incident. police say that they've now made arrests after that alleged machete fight in london. you get on a train in britain nowadays and you might just see this. hello? >> hello. i'm on the train.

ambulance and ambulance. and ambulance. >> you go out to celebrate new year's eve, and you might find yourself in the middle of a stabbing spree. how many times do you go out and see this? there you go. people just getting their phones snatched by moped gangs. 52,000 phones were stolen in london alone in 2023 52,000. you work in a shop, you're trying to run a business, then income. the machete men. there you go. you find yourself in a war zone. you're wondering whether you'll go home to see your wife and kids again that evening. do you fight back? i mean, that's the big question. that chap did there bravely. but sometimes it's just not worth it, is it? and we've got a mayor of london who said he'd do everything in his power to cut back, stop and search. well, sir. sadiq, here's your stop and search quick as possible, all right? >> we're literally just search pockets. >> search you. you've got a nice warm coat as well. oh. hang on.

>> hello? are you. are you are you are you? get off me! get back down! are you under arrest? right. brit school. not secure. are you? can you. sorry. >> yeah. they found a sword on him. and this isn't an isolated incident. it's every single day. >> look at that knife, bro. man's got a shank on him, bro. big thing. look at that shank. look at that. >> it must be terrifying to be a parent in britain right now. you raise your child correctly, you bnng raise your child correctly, you bring them up. right? but every time they set foot outside, you worry about whether you'll be the one getting a knock on a door from the police that evening. but it's more than that. we have one rape reported every hour in london, and that's before we even mention the epidemic of pakistani rape gangs that's gripped the news

recently. it's not just london. it's not just london. this is right across the uk. but what are the consequences for those in power? nothing. sadiq khan has just been knighted. for what services? for turning london into a third world hellhole. and it's not just violent crime, is it? a total of 470,000 shoplifting offences were logged by police forces in england and wales in the year to june 2024. people don't care anymore. >> that's. up to them. >> that's. up to them. >> we've got tens of thousands of people on a terror watch list. 43 terror plots were foiled since march 2017. i'm sick of it. children being stabbed to death on buses. women being raped every hour in our capital city. armed police at christmas markets. you go into tesco, you just people filling their pockets up legging it. and it's non—stop isn't it. and meanwhile we have police

investigating non—crime hate incidents and doing a macarena at a gay pride event. we shouldn't have to live like this. let's get our thoughts on my panel this evening. we do have broadcaster and columnist esther krakue. we also have political commentator and gb news presenter as well alice armstrong and journalist jonathan lees. esther, it's just lawless. look, you know, today again, a 14 year old boy stabbed to death on a london bus. yeah, it's never ending. >> well, there are some people that will tell you it's because there are not enough youth centres and activity centres in these neighbourhoods to keep these neighbourhoods to keep these young people busy, so they don't do a bit of stabbing in their spare time. look, inasmuch as i do think a lot of criticism levelled at sadiq khan is very valid and obvious, like stop and search, a very obvious 1 in 5 stop and search lead to a police action. that's a stop and search lead to a police act
