we need to discuss. and think we need to discuss. and speaking of southpaw, a report out today tells all of us sensible people, quite frankly, what we always knew anyway, that most young people caught up in said riots did so. not because they are far right loons, ladies and gents. no, instead, apparently they wanted some kind of cheap, quick thrill. meanwhile, though, if you ask somebody that was looking at these riots saying, hang on a second, there's a bit of two tier policing going on in here. you are indeed the far right extremists. hey, keeping up with this or not.7 and ons figures out today show that uk population is going to increase by over 5 million people in the next seven years due to, you guessed it, immigration. i've got a simple question for you tonight, ladies and gents. are those people in charge of this country actually losing their minds? alongside me tonight, my panel, i've got baroness jacqueline foster, the tory peer and former member of

the european parliament, and paul richards, the former labour special adviser and columnist. but before we get stuck in, let's cross live for your 6:00 news headlines. >> very good evening to you. it's just after 6:00. the top story tonight. well, the uk population could hit 72.5 million people by 2032, driven almost entirely by net migration, according to the office for national statistics. net migration will contribute 340,000 extra people each year from 2028. that is up 315,000 than earlier estimates. the government, though, says it will present a comprehensive plan to reduce what it calls staggeringly high net migration levels, but has ruled out a fixed cap. a leaked home office report calls for police to record more non—crime hate incidents, despite previous concerns over free speech. the report dismisses claims of two tier policing as a right wing

extremist narrative. the review, ordered by the home secretary, also describes grooming gangs as an alleged problem frequently exploited by the far right. well, the shadow business secretary, andrew griffith, told us the report's conclusion is disturbing. >> the home secretary needs to pubush >> the home secretary needs to publish this immediately so that we can all see for ourselves what and who it is that's saying these non—crime hate incidents, these non—crime hate incidents, these attacks and waste of police resources, something a conservative home secretary stopped. and there's clearly a cell within the home office that is not concerned about ordinary crime, ordinary policing in favour of this ideological approach to non—crime hate incidents. they're wrong. that's not where we should be putting our police resources. and the home secretary needs to come to parliament today, publish this report and explain who it is that keeps coming up with this idea. >> the scottish government has launched a review of child protection following the conviction of seven members of a

glasgow child abuse ring. the case, which saw three children subjected to horrific abuse in a drug den, has raised serious questions about how authorities failed to act despite clear signs of neglect and school absences. the scottish children's minister says the situation is a horrifying failure and says there is an urgent need for action. msps have questioned whether child safeguarding in scotland is fit for purpose, but the government has vowed to ensure lessons are learned and that such abuse never happens again. well, we've heard the sad news tonight that a british tourist has died after being swept into the sea in tenerife. the 63 year old was one of three people caught by a powerful wave at a natural swimming pool, with two men and women managing to get back to safety. the alarm was raised just before midday yesterday. an emergency services quickly rushed to the scene but despite their best efforts, the man was pronounced dead. the government is reportedly considering a major shake up to how the bbc is

funded, with households using streaming services like netflix and disney potentially being hit with the licence fee. it's reported that the idea is part of a menu of options under discussion, including a tax on streaming services or asking bbc radio listeners to pay the fee. ministers are also exploring alternatives like advertising or alternatives like advertising or a subscription model, as viewing habhs a subscription model, as viewing habits slowly shift away from traditional tv. no decisions have been made so far, and the discussions are still in the early stages. well, an update on the situation regarding wyn evans. he has now stepped back, reportedly from his radio show from strictly come dancing's live tour and other public commitments too. he has said in a statement focus on his wellbeing. it's after the welsh opera singer was caught on camera joking about having a threesome with a professional dancen he threesome with a professional dancer. he has since apologised for that inappropriate remark made during the tour's launch on the 16th of january. bbc producers confirmed evans received a warning and said his

behaviour was unacceptable and would not be tolerated. the 53 year old has since expressed regret and has thanked his fellow performers for their support as he takes what he has described time for self—reflection. and just before ihand self—reflection. and just before i hand you back to michelle, take a look at this boom! supersonic has set the skies tonight in a historic test flight over the mojave desert. you can see pictures here of that supersonic flight that could redefine air travel, pushing the boundaries of speed and marking a significant step toward breaking the sound barrier. the xb one is expected to create a sonic boom potentially heard up to 30 miles away. and today's milestone comes after 30 successful test flights 11 rather including one on january the 10th, where the jet managed to reach 728 miles an hour. well, as it all went to plan, it means a new 64 seat supersonic jet could soon be taking to the skies, marking the first of its kind since concorde. remarkable. those are

the latest headlines. i'll be back with you in an hour. now, though, it's over to michel martin. >> i'm that old. >> i'm that old. >> there you go. thank you very much for that. i'm michelle dewberry. this is dewbs& co with you till seven. the person you could hear chattering then as we came back into the show was baroness jacqueline foster, the tory peer and former member of the european parliament, alongside her. rather more quietly, i must add, when we came back following the rules. thank you paul. paul richards, the former labour special adviser and columnist. the reason that you were just talking, jacqueline, because we were all watching on then in those headlines, the story about the boom supersonic plane you were telling me about your experience on concorde? >> well, i spent 25 years with british airways before i became a member of the european parliament. and of course, dunng parliament. and of course, during those years, concorde arrived. it cruised at about

68,000ft and it flew at twice the speed of sound. so looking at this, it looks a bit slow to me. does it. >> look, she could probably run quicker. look at how fit and athletic she is. she's looking athletic she is. she's looking at that going. really? you think that that is supersonic? i don't think so. anyway, look, i want you to get in touch with me tonight. with everything that's on your mind. we have a lot to discuss, ladies and gents. and you can join the conversation all the usual ways. you can email me gb views @gbnews. com. you can go to the website gbnews.com/yoursay. or of course you're very welcome to tweet or x—men if you need to go out. i hear you take me out on your radio with you. look, the first point i want to. i'm sitting here now looking at this aeroplane, and i need to not be distracted by aeroplanes. we're not going on holiday, ladies and gents. we're not trying to break sound or speed records. no, we're trying to focus on getting to the bottom of what on earth goes on in the minds of some people tonight. and pondering,

there was a leaked report that came out. it was revealed exclusively, i have to say, on the patrick christys show here on gb news last night. and it's got many, many people talking. it's been dominating headlines across the day. it was all of course, we'll remember the horrors of southpaw off the back of that, our home secretary commissioned a report essentially to look at extremism, what it means in this country. and crucially, how did that creature axel rudakubana slip through the net when it came to services like prevent? now, this leaked report has really kind of raised eyebrows and got people talking because what it actually does, it's called the rapid analytical sprint. so if you've been heanng sprint. so if you've been hearing those words today, that's what we're talking about today. and it suggests that the approach to extremism should not be based on ideologies of concern, but instead on a very wide range of behaviours. that's a direct quote i'm giving you. they're including 1506 00:08:5
