condemned tariffs against steel and aluminium. >> and this, of course, comes as heathrow announces a significant commitment by the airport to uk steel at scunthorpe's british steelworks as part of its expansion plans. we'll be heanng expansion plans. we'll be hearing from the ceo very shortly. >> and i hear you're a racist now, father. well, channel 4 bosses are slammed after adding a trigger warning to father ted for racial impersonations and language. this all comes as disney embarks on a bonfire of woke policy over in the united states. is it time to take a leaf from the americans? >> tom almost pronounced aluminium. aluminium, didn't you? >> yeah. i'm not emigrating. i just want to put that out there. and i do believe in putting a u in the word colour. i do believe

that i walk on a pavement, not a sidewalk. sidewalk. i put my rubbish in the bin, not the trash can. but i did accidentally say aluminium rather than aluminium. i stopped myself halfway through. i betrayed my country. i can only, i can only apologise. >> so interesting exchange in pmqs though about this gaza refugee issue. i mean, this extraordinary ruling from this particular judge, extraordinary ruling from this particularjudge, hugo benedict norton. taylor is his name. >> salt of the earth. >> salt of the earth. >> salt of the earth. >> salt of the earth, chap. yes. his father actually was a guardian journalist and likes to tweet about immigration and things like this. but anyway. >> you know, emily, a lot of people are going to tell you off for this. why? because we're not allowed to criticise judges. >> right. >> right. >> they're supposed to be above the fray. >> keir starmer did. he said it was the wrong decision. >> and yet and yet when judges become so political, when they're in effect making political decisions, is it right that no one can criticise what they do and the action that they take? >> yeah. i don't believe judges should be beyond reproach. and i

doubt many of you at home do ehhen doubt many of you at home do either. you know, it's like any other job. obviously, it's otherjob. obviously, it's a huge responsibility and you have to do a lot of work to get to that position. but like any job, people can make mistakes. >> oh, certainly. and it seems utterly extraordinary, this decision. and to his credit, the prime minister clearly anticipated this line of questioning and did have some pretty strong batting strikes. sure to come back to them. >> did not answer that question, did he? about whether the government is going to be appealing this ruling? it did happen a little while ago, last yeanl happen a little while ago, last year, i believe. but are they going to appeal this because they say, oh, we're going to change the law? how long is that going to take, really? well, let us know what you make of it. gbnews.com/yoursay. we are going to be speaking to suella braverman very shortly, but it's your headlines with aaron armstrong. >> very good afternoon to you. 1:03. let's get you up to date with the top stories. sir keir starmer and the leader of the

opposition have clashed over immigration at prime minister's questions. the conservative leader, kemi badenoch, repeatedly asked the pm why a gazan family of six was allowed to come to the uk under a scheme intended for ukrainians. well, the home office says it rigorously contested two appeals at tribunal hearings after the family's application to live in the uk was initially refused, and the second appeal was allowed on the grounds of article eight of the european convention on human rights, which protects the right to family life. >> there are millions of people all around the world in terrible situations. we cannot help them all and we certainly cannot bnng all and we certainly cannot bring them all here. will he commit to bringing forward that new legislation or amending his borders bill? >> prime minister? well. >> prime minister? well. >> mr speaker, i have already said the home secretary has already got her team working on closing this loophole. we don't need to wait for that. we are getting on with that because we're taking control. they lost

control of immigration. we had nearly a million people coming to this country. they had an open borders experiment on a monday of this week. they voted against increased powers to deal with those that are running the vile trade of people smuggling. same old tories, open borders, empty promises. >> well, the home office has tightened the rules on becoming a british citizen, making it almost impossible for those arriving on small boats to apply successfully. previously, refugees who had reached the uk by irregular routes could apply, but only after being in the country for ten years. new guidance now advises authorities to reject applications if that person arrives illegally. it could prevent thousands of refugees from becoming british citizens despite having been granted asylum. a christian school worker, who was dismissed after criticising plans to teach primary school children about

lgbtq+ relationships, has won a court of appeal battle related to her dismissal. christy higgs lost her role at farmers school in fairford, gloucestershire, in 2019 after sharing posts with around 100 friends on facebook. one referred to brainwashing our children, another to suppressing christianity and removing it from the public arena. well, in the latest stage of her years long legal battle, three judges ruled in her favour, finding a previous appeal decision which sent the case back to an employment tribunal was unlawfully discriminatory. miss higgs says it's a victory for free speech. >> today's judgement. >> today's judgement. >> is as important. >> is as important. >> for free speech. >> for free speech. >> as it. >> as it. >> is for freedom. of religion. employers will no longer be. >> able to rely. >> able to rely. >> on their theoretical fears of reputational. >> damage or. >> damage or. >> subjective concerns about causing offence. to discipline

employees for exercising their fundamental freedom to express their deeply held beliefs. >> meanwhile, there's growing concern for the ceasefire in gaza after the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the deal will end if hamas fails to release hostages by midday on saturday. speaking after president trump threatened to let hell break out in gaza if dozens of hostages aren't freed, mr netanyahu did not specify how many people he expected to be handed over, but said he has ordered forces to gather in and around the strip in readiness. hamas claims israel has broken the terms of the ceasefire by blocking humanitarian aid, which israel denies. heathrow airport is set to confirm a multi—billion pound expansion to increase capacity as it prepares to build a third runway. terminals two and five will be expanded. the layout of the airfield reconfigured and investment also put in to boost bus and coach connections. it's separate from a new runway, this development. it will be privately funded so airlines and

customers will face higher costs. it follows a speech by rachel reeves, the chancellor, last month giving her support to a third runway. elon musk has denied leading a hostile takeover of the us government on a surprise first appearance at the white house. the world's richest man joined donald trump in the oval office as the us president signed an executive order allowing mr musk and his department of efficiency to make sweeping cuts to the size and spending of federal government. while musk, who is unelected, and his agency have been criticised for a lack of transparency, but he strongly defended his plans. >> if the bureaucracy is in charge, and then what meaning does democracy actually have? if the people cannot vote and have their will be decided by their elected representatives in the form of the president and the senate and the house, then we don't live in a democracy. we live in a bureaucracy. >> and king charles will host a sleepover for political leaders at windsor castle. charles is

believed to have invited the prime minister, as well as first ministers from the devolved nations, for a dinner later. some of those leaders will stay overnight and also have breakfast in the morning. it will be seen as charles second intervention in politics in a week, after sir keir starmer and angela rayner joined week, after sir keir starmer and angela raynerjoined him on a rare joint engagement to see a housing project. and that's it for the moment. i'll be back with more in about half an hours with more in about half an hour's time. wonderful. >> good afternoon britain. it's 1:09 now. the floodgates could open to a wave of refugees from gaza. that's the warning from the home office. after a palestinian family was granted the right to settle in the united kingdom under a scheme set up for ukrainian refugees. >> so after initially being rebuffed, a judge called hugo norton—taylor ruled that the family had the right to come to the united kingdom on the basis of their right to a family life

under the european convention on human rights. >> he also ruled that the family's specific situation outweighed the public interest in keeping to british immigration rules. >> well, during prime minister's questions, conservative leader kemi badenoch asked sir keir starmer if the government was planning to appeal the judge's decision to allow this gazan family to settle in the united kingdom. here's the prime minister's response. >>
