lee evans is there. you there? lee evans is there. lee evans, the chairman of facts for eu org. asting a harsh harsh light over the numbers piling into the european union. i went over the illegal migration figures a short while ago. today's report , published ago. today's report, published by yourself, is the number of first time asylum seekers talk through the shocking numbers and talkers lee evans, through the growth. >> yeah. well, it seems not to matter where you look in the migration statistics in the eu. >> and i'll come on to why that's important to, to your audience in a moment. but no matter where you look, the numbers are just shocking, >> so i assume you've mentioned the fact that, the numbers of illegal migrants into the eu in the last five years doubled, 1.25 million just in the last year alone. which is an extraordinary number of people when it comes to asylum, which is what we looked at in our report today. and it's a great team effort that's been punching these numbers because the eu commission doesn't make it easy, but anyway, the numbers are , 3.5 but anyway, th

i think we've re—established comms now with lee evans. very british problem. >> yes. and crucially , it's >> yes. and crucially, it's a security problem. and the point that i was trying to make was that i was trying to make was that the number one responsibility of any uk government is the defence of the realm. and that clearly isn't happening because as we revealed exclusively on monday on gb news, the figure had just broken 130,000 illegal migrants and as i was saying, this may not sound a lot compared to the millions coming legally, but the difference is this we don't know who these people are. they could be criminals. they could be terrorists. we have no idea. and therefore it it is a clear and present danger. we would suggest to the uk security . to the uk security. >> and so lee, quickly, if we could , if we're talking about could, if we're talking about doing some kind of deal with the european union, the returns though, that seems to be the direction of travel that sir keir starmer's government would want. how can we reasonably do

it's by lee evans from facts4eu's .org.ays that the european union's asylum problem could become britain's small boat nightmare. what's your take? >> well, i think we're going to take a lot of people out of that that that those figures and this is the problem is even if they've claimed asylum in europe, they can still come here and claim asylum again. so while they've got their asylum applications pending in, in whichever country they decide to claim, they can still make every effort to try and make another application here. and because there's no cooperation, we had that before under the dublin convention when we left the eu. we should have been thinking about this and agreeing a treaty akin to that , so that a person akin to that, so that a person cannot claim asylum twice. so that's the first point. the second point is, is that the uk has always been the choice destination for asylum seekers. why? because we have a fair asylum system. i hear stories from my fair or soft well, i describe it as fair because we consider the

i'll speak to lee evans from facts4eu's .org.d exclusively to gb news that details the staggering levels of illegal immigration into 27 european union member states , a cataclysmic failure to states, a cataclysmic failure to control the outside borders of the eu means that all those people are being funnelled towards the french coast and our illegal immigration integration system is being pummelled because of the eu's inability to control its own borders. you will not believe the numbers we will not believe the numbers we will not believe the numbers we will not believe the size of this problem waiting over the horizon. get in touch, send your views gbnews.com/yoursay. but now it's time for your news headunes now it's time for your news headlines and it's polly middlehurst . middlehurst. >> martin, thank you and good evening to you. well, the top story today. mps have been discussing the king's speech in the house of commons this afternoon, and a short time ago the prime minister, sir keir starmer, promised national renewal after

evan perez is covering the investigation aspect of this. danny freeman is near the home where the gunman lived, but i want to start this hour with cnn's mj lee, who's live at the white house where we are expecting to hear from president biden mj. obviously, he was just started about 1:30 p.m. he is a little bit delayed now what are you hearing from white house officials about what we should be expecting yeah. >> kaitlan. we are about to see the president speak for the second time since this assassination attempt on former president donald trump yesterday. remember the president cut short his visit to rehoboth and came back to washington, dc overnight so that he could receive a full briefing by the various law enforcement agencies. and we know that he spent a part of this morning in the situation room with the heads of the justice department, the department of homeland security, the director of the secret service, the head of the fbi. so when the president speaks in a few minutes, we do expect that he could hopefully shut a little bit or light into this ongoing federal investigation into what happened yesterday and particularly, we'll be list

lee. >> thank you. jake. >> thanks. anderson with me here in studio cnn's john king, kasie hunt, dana bash, nia-malika henderson and biden biographer and new yorker writer evandana, you just heard those excerpts from mj. what do you make of the tone that president biden, we're told is trying to set he knows how important this speeches and it's the most important speech he never wanted to give but he's going to give it. and so that's why i'm told by a senior administration official that since he made the decision and wrote that initial letter, that surprised everybody that he put out on social well media. he's been working on this speech. we don't expect it to be very long but we expect it if he has the kind of effect that he wanted to have to pack a big punch with the message that he's giving again, not so much about himself, although part of it will be about that, but about what he sees as the stakes for the country in case he, what more are you expecting to hear from the president? >> yeah, i think that one of the things that sticks out to me, what we've learned so far. and as i've talked to sources on the hill and elsewhere today, is that this, idea, that
