of the the 80th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz from the nazis. donald trump has secured a huge victory by forcing colombia to accept two planes full of illegal criminals. they originally had rejected, and then trump threatened a punishing 25% tariff on all colombian imports and threatened to cancel visas for all colombian officials officials. wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do the same with our illegal immigrants? and a ridiculous diversity guide issued to three major police forces has warned coppers not to use phrases like black sheep or black listed over. of course, racism fears. i'll be joined by a campaigner who says this. well, it's a black day for free speech. that's all coming up in your next hour. motor show. always a pleasure to have your

company. wouldn't it be wonderful to have a leader who simply said, enough is enough? the illegal criminals in our country, we are simply going to fly them back to their host nation. if they won't be accepted, well, that's no problem. we're going to stop all foreign money going to you. there goes foreign aid. there goes any visas of anybody coming in until we take your worst citizens back. i'm afraid we're going to freeze all diplomatic ties with you. wouldn't that be fantastic? wouldn't you like a bit of that in this country? well, donald trump has just done that in america. and guess what? the electorate like it. and a poll out today says that british voters would like a bit of the same as well. unfortunately, we don't seem to have any politicians with the mettle to do that. get in touch the usual ways. gbnews.com/yoursay now as your headlines and it's san francis. >> martin, thank. >> martin, thank. >> you very much and good afternoon to you. 3:02.

so i think we've got to be a strong voice for free trade around the world. >> and seven members of one of scotland's worst, worst child sexual abuse rings have been handed long, life long sentences and warned they may never be released. the group inflicted horrific abuse, including rape and attempted murder, on children under the age of 13 over seven years in glasgow's drug den, dubbed the beasty house. the judge in the case described the abuse as beyond his experience, but praised the children's courage and perseverance. despite threats from the gang. those are the latest headlines. i'll be back with you very shortly. now, though, it's over to. >> martin 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. >> thank you sam, and we now

begin today's show by marking holocaust memorial day, and commemorations are being held, as you can see, live at the site of auschwitz—birkenau to mark the 80th anniversary of the nazi death camps. liberation. in total, 17 million people died dunng total, 17 million people died during the holocaust, including 6 million jews, 4.5 million soviet citizens, 3.3 million soviet citizens, 3.3 million soviet prisoners of war and 1.8 million poles, and including at auschwitz itself. 1.3 million jews were sent there, 1.1 million were murdered or died of malnutrition and other ailments. one of the greatest, biggest stains on all of human history. and today we remember that. so it will never be repeated. and we can now speak with gb news as royal correspondent cameron walker, who is in the area.

cameron, we're just going to listen in for a while, actually, and then we'll join with cameron. and as we're waiting for the speeches to commence, we are expecting king charles is there. the first attending monarch in history in british history. survivors. we can see there now of the holocaust of auschwitz making their way to the front. this will most likely be the last of the great anniversaries where there will be survivors due to their age. of course, 80 years on, these would have been some of the youngest prisoners of war in auschwitz. we're expecting around about 5 pm. the king will be laying a wreath at the death wall. so—called, of

course, because that's where the prisoners of war were sent to cure before they went to meet their ghastly fate in those gas chambers. and we can now cross to our royal correspondent, cameron walker, who is live at this event. cameron hugely, hugely moving scenes here of very old, very, very old and survivors walking their way towards the front. you can hear a pin drop in there and of course the king is in attendance. cameron walker, tell us more. us more. >> us more. >> yes, martin. incredibly moving, incredibly poignant. there's around 50 survivors. we think, inside this special tent that has been built over the gates of death here at auschwitz—birkenau. and that gate at the bottom of it contains an archway which is just big enough to fit a freight train car through. and in each of those freight train cars were packed. thousands and thousands

of victims. these are just hearing, i believe, one of those survivors delivering a speech at auschwitz. as soon as we do have a translation, we'll bring that to you. but what i can tell you is today, although there are several world leaders in attendance, including king charles, as well as the polish president, president duda and emmanuel macron of france and other european royalty, it is only the survivors who will be delivering speeches. it's the world leaders who will be listening to their testimony, listening to their testimony, listening to their memories of this horrific place , and why it this horrific place, and why it is so important to remember what happened here to ensure it never happens again, particularly with the rise of anti—semitism. and his majesty. during this ceremony, alongside a the other

survivors and alongside other world leaders, he will be laying a light a candle at the foot of the freight car that has been placed in the centre underneath the gates of death. because, as you said, martin, 1.1 million people were murdered here in auschwitz. a vast majority of those were gassed on arrival. they were literally pulled off of the trains. they were selected families split apart. men, women, children, babies and put into a gas chamber. those that did survive, and many of them succumbed to starvation, exposure and deprivation as well. i believe we can take you back now to the commemorative service. >> that we. shared with them. our memories. >> here, >> here, >> there. >> there. >> however. >> however. >> there's always. >> there's always. >> been a very small minority
