priti patel there defended all of it.ll i thought that was a very strong interview actually. and she was right to talk about the context, but also the control on the borders. and one thing i want to talk the control 2 million. well, the point is she's talked about the context and the control. so the points based system is what people wanted to give the government of the day control of our borders. and that control meant that when there was an issue in hong kong, as she talked about, or in ukraine, as she also referenced , ukraine, as she also referenced, we were able to act, but equally , we were able to act, but equally, where the immigration rules need to be tightened up, for example, on students, then we've gone ahead and done that too. and that's just happened. well, james cleverly, who has just been home secretary, has done exactly that. so, so progress has been massive outcry , has been massive outcry, progress has been made. i think the point is that that was a very strong interview as part of her pitch to be leade

so what would a priti patel conservative party look like in relation to nigel farage?language? would you welcome him in? how would you go about , first of all, i haven't about, first of all, i haven't gone on a journey. >> i've been consistent for 30 years in my views, my values and my beliefs. i'm a conservative. i'm an absolute conservative. i think when it comes to. you've asked about nigel. nigel's a long standing friend of mine. i've known nigel for a long time, and, you know, i could debate with him , discuss issues debate with him, discuss issues with him, and i'm happy to do that. let's not forget the conservative party has lost the general election. and with that, reform are a party that stood against conservative candidates at the general election. you know, they were part of us losing the election. we lost amazing, decent public servants at this general election, which is a shame. so, you know , we is a shame. so, you know, we i believe that, you know , reform believe that, you know, reform is a party that, you know, we will challenge, oppose. there might be

. on the campaign for priti patel. you why won't your your candidate apologise for record net migration? >> well, i think that pretty deserves great credit actually, for transforming the framework of immigration that we have in this country, responding very directly to the message from the referendum that we needed to end free movement, she did the heavy lifting that meant that ministers like me could then get on the front foot and bring those numbers down. we announced at the back end of last year those policies that are delivering results, we are seeing month on month, legal migration numbers falling. all of that is at risk with labour, of that is at risk with labour, of course, who are now dismantling key planks of that. but it simply wouldn't have been possible without the heavy lifting. those hard yards that pretty did putting in place the legislation and delivering on that policy. >> so the past year means you have got fully net migration, which will be confirmed in figures next month, almost certainly. but for t

or as priti patel is doing , integrate. or as priti patel is doing, saying integrate.eforms. a bit of doing, saying reforms. a bit of a flash in the pan due to our failings. but if we get back we will pull these people back. >> yes. i mean, it is. will pull these people back. >> yes. i mean, it is . you're >> yes. i mean, it is. you're spot on. it's a curious situation where someone like priti patel, who traditionally has been seen as quite right wing, is essentially having to court the moderate wing of her party, and then you've got people who are traditionally seen as moderates, including tom tugendhat, robert jenrick, who are very much taking a much more hard line position, now on priti patel, you could argue that , she patel, you could argue that, she is in a, you know , it's a it's a is in a, you know, it's a it's a bizarre argument she's making because she is blamed by a lot of people for post brexit taking the, the new powers that we had to be a bit more discerning about migration and then actually putting in a system that allowed a huge amount of people in. >>

today was the turn of dame priti patel.udio with me now. and he fired a question at dame patel earlier on. he's also had james cleverly on. he's also had james cleverly on his podcast this week. tom tugendhat before that, and mel stride one by one, he's putting the question to them , are you the question to them, are you going to apologise for your woeful record on immigration? find out who said sorry and i'll ask you do you think they should all apologise ? do you think all apologise? do you think their apologies count for anything? do you trust the conservatives? do they deserve another chance to take back control of our borders and of our country? get in touch the usual ways, gbnews.com/yoursay. but now your headlines. and here's sophia wenzler. >> martin. >> martin. >> thank you. good afternoon from the gb newsroom. it's just gone 4:00. your top story this hour. gone 4:00. your top story this hour . a gone 4:00. your top story this hour. a murder investigation has been launched after a 13 year old boy was stabbed to dea

yes, this has come from priti patel who says that it should | priti patel who says that it should be out a long statement on social media, butjust to summarise her point she says this is a moment for a national reflection. she says parliament should speak with one voice in contamination. in terms of how likely that is, she is the only mp i have spotted so far who is calling for this, but it's worth noting that david cameron did recall parliament in august 2011 when there were riots. those were different to theirs and they were on a much bigger scale to what we have seen so far. also remember that parliament has had a shortened summer break already. it had its summer setting extended after the election of the new government. find extended after the election of the new government.— extended after the election of the new government. and the debate we are exoecting — new government. and the debate we are expecting potentially _ new government. and the debate we are expecting potentially more - are expecting potentially more demonstrations over the course of the weekend and a whole debate

so roger, is priti patel the woman to save the conservatives?ink any of them are is i wouldn't give you tuppence for any of them. none of them had the leadership qualities. while the conservative ship was absolutely sinking in a way that nobody could imagine the worst in. what is it, 200 years to stand up and do anything to save the party? they just stayed schtum and listened to the nonsense that fishy rishi and bates motel hunt, among others, were spouting and went along with it to the end. so i have no confidence in any of them. they've wrecked their party. they've wrecked their party. they've wrecked the country , and they've wrecked the country, and they are unelectable in their current form. as far as i'm concerned. >> okay. but one of them is going to become leader of the opposition. so who's your pick, >> none. >> none. >> no, no. andrew eborn. >> no, no. andrew eborn. >> none of the none of the above. >> none of the above. i'll tell you who's got my pick. my pick? which would guarantee a win is nigel farage, who's not even on the team at

tory leadership candidate priti patel has sat down for an exclusive interview with gb news political editor christopher hope.the political editor christopher hope. the former home secretary did not hold back when it came to talking about the rwanda scheme. you won't want to miss what she had to say and is your right to speak freely, being taken away. i'll be speaking to one legal eagle who thinks he has the solution borrowed from the united states of america. is it time for a british free speech act? and on a—level results day, several uk universities are facing the risk of closure as funding dwindles. we ask what's the point of going to university and can you learn more in the real world? well, we'll also discuss harry and meghan's visit to colombia. they arrived in the last few minutes and here is live footage of them as we speak on what is definitely not a royal tour. state of the nation starts now . state of the nation starts now. throughout, i'll also be joined by an eclectic panel gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson and conservative peer lord goodman. as ever on t

priti patel has got some views on that as well.on . i asked her if she'd situation. i asked her if she'd be okay for suella braverman to stay in the party. were priti patel to become leader? quite an interesting response there. i think they'll get a lot of people going. robert jenrick described by many as the favourites in this particular leadership contest. i did ask her why she was better than him, and she gave quite a strong answer to that and potentially bad news for nigel farage as well. dawn, that will be revealing if priti patel does become the leader of the conservatives, i'm not sure that they're going to be spending too much time together. but what does that mean for reform voters? you know, i'll be on nigel farage's show a little bit later on this evening, and i'll be putting the clip directly to him, so hopefully get his response on priti patel's comments there. but yes, heck of a lot to go out this evening. 9 to 11 pm. on gb news jul three. >> and that sounds a real cracker of a show. patrick. well done. we are going t

and priti patel has joined patrick christys to do a big exclusive interview.art of her leadership bid for the conservative party. patrick will come in and tell us ahead of the full interview later on tonight some of the highlights from that. but before we get to the programme, let's get the news with sophia wenzler

she wasn't priti patel, wasn't she? she'd gone by then. wasn't in the government , but the others. most government, but the others. most of the generic wasn't either, but the others largely were. and none of them has actually come up with a coherent story as to why this went wrong in a way thatis why this went wrong in a way that is credible, and that , i that is credible, and that, i think, is a sort of essential step not for winning the election, because one of them has got to win the election for the leadership of the party, but for carrying credibility with voters. and we say the conservatives have to look very hard at what went wrong. and i'm saying i agree with that. and we need to, but we're not doing it at the moment. >> yeah . jonathan. >> yeah. jonathan. >> yeah. jonathan. >> well, i actually agree with what a lot of what daniel just said, that the conservatives have so far not been very honest with themselves about what went wrong. i would add to the list that you just gave also the, you know, the major crises in trust, the firs

up next, a bombshell interview between our political editor, christopher hope and dame priti patel.er dealings with the rwandan government, which she claims has been treated appallingly by the labour party. you won't want to what she has say next. good evening. this is state of the nation at 8:47. now to migration. earlier today, our political editor, christopher hope, interviewed tory leadership hopeful dame priti patel. when asked about the failed rwanda plan that never got off the ground and the labour government has scrapped, she pulled no punches. let's listen in. >> rwanda was your idea, wasn't it? would you bring it back if you became leader? >> so i have to. i'm going to pay >> so i have to. i'm going to pay tribute, actually, to the government of rwanda. who or credit to them ? i spoke about credit to them? i spoke about this in the past. you may have interviewed. interviewed me in the past on this as well. they wanted to be part of an international solution to stop people trafficking and these evil smuggling trade that we see. they set very high standards when it comes to

catherine, what are we expecting priti patel to say this morning ? patel to say this morning? saying that she's going to lay out her vision for the party and for the country and her sort of tagline, if you like, is pretty unite to win. we're going to hear a lot about unity from her, as we will from, i suspect, all the candidates , given that all the candidates, given that one of the reasons they did so very badly in the election was this very public infighting between different conservative factions. so she's got another three words that's emblazoned everywhere experience, strength , everywhere experience, strength, unity. of course, she is highly experienced. she's been an mp since 2010. she was home secretary under boris johnson and the rwanda plan, you know, was in many ways her baby. but also the points based system that she and boris johnson put into place and is what led to the huge increase , largely in the huge increase, largely in legal migration. now she's obviously to the right of the party. she's a great favourite with party members and she's going to say, that the

interestingly priti patel seems to be very, very close as well.rt in terms of the leadership. of course, what actually happens in the leadership race is the mps themselves are going to whittle this down to two out of six, and only then will the party membership actually have a say. but it seems pretty clear to me that whoever is going to prevail, and i strongly suspect it will be one of these three robert jenrick, kemi badenoch or priti patel , are going to have priti patel, are going to have to address a lot of concerns of conservative party grassroots members, just as you've said, because ultimately the decision rests with the membership. >> well, robert jenrick is the front runner in this particular poll, and i'm going to play a clip now and i'll get you two out of it. and then and then you, rebecca. so this is robert jenrick, which has caused quite a lot of controversy earlier on. >> you know, i thought it was quite wrong that somebody could shout, what about the allah akhbar on the streets of london and not be immediately arrested? >> or i me

the wake of riots and brands labour's actions so far as breathtakingly complacent and, this is priti pateln in the language, i think her language and hindi or gujarati or something means hotelier. so they're used to being hotel. what are they, what are they friendly. >> you're looking to me. i've got nothing now. >> what does it mean? >> what does it mean? >> i'm just amazed you called her a girl. i mean, i'm still reeling from that. >> well, you know, in in my age, she's a girl. i don't mean that's a good. get out. i'm not allowed. am i not allowed to call her? >> yeah, i guess that's true. >> yeah, i guess that's true. >> at your age. she's a woman. she's a woman. of course. lay woman of course, labour has done a really bad job. but i guarantee you that the conservatives would have done equally a bad job too. >> so do you think recalling parliament will make a difference or, >> no. because they're not willing to change. because they haven't changed for 15, 20 years. they want this country to be different than what it is. they hate this country. labour hates this country. nick. >> i mean

priti patel said that, suella braverman said that.as you say, has said it is a shameful truth that britain has become a hotbed of casual criminality, which is very true. they think they can get away with it. ., ~ , ., , . with it. neil, thank you very much for coming — with it. neil, thank you very much for coming in _ with it. neil, thank you very much for coming in to _ with it. neil, thank you very much for coming in to talk— with it. neil, thank you very much for coming in to talk to _ with it. neil, thank you very much for coming in to talk to us. - let me bring you an update on those developing lines we were bringing you from the world health organization. an official says the israeli military has agreed to three different humanitarian pauses in gaza in three zones, each for three days, with a fourth day of a pause in fighting agreed if needed. the world health organization is saying that this is to allow for a polio vaccination campaigns to be carried out. the un is prepared to vaccinate an estimated 640,000 children in gaza wi

dane priti patel has criticised that as well is not helpful and not right at this time.alled for a recall of parliament, and quite a number of mps have done that, but i suspect that the government will be quite keen not to do that, if they can help it, so that this united front can be shown, rather than having that sort of sense of dissent or a fracturing of the view of the riots. 0k, thank you very much, susan hulme in westminster. police in belfast say six people have been arrested after officers dealt with a number of race—related hate crimes and disorder in parts of the city on tuesday. the northern ireland assembly has been recalled from summer recess and will sit tomorrow to discuss the violence. we can speak npw to a belfast business owner, whose shop was set on fire during disorder in the city at the weekend. he has asked not to be named in this interview. but we do appreciate you joining us here on bbc news and thank you for your time. here on bbc news and thank you for yourtime. my here on bbc news and thank you for your time. my first question to you is, how a

so priti patel, james cleverly, tom tugendhat, mel stride kemi badenoch and robert jenrick have saidty as a member, nor sit on tory benches as an mp. and i think we've got this clip, it's a far cry from this moment at tory conference when prissy and nigel were sharing a boogie together. la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la. oh those were the those were the better days, weren't they, emma. when. yeah, i think they, emma. when. yeah, i think they were getting along. >> yeah. i think it's absolutely hilarious. do you think that nigel farage is going to give a flying, an absolute. do you think he's going to give a monkeys about about being cancelled by, you know, he'd say the leaders boring, boring , the leaders boring, boring, boring. he's really not going to be cut up about this . why on be cut up about this. why on earth when reform are riding high, when nigel farage is riding high, why on earth would he want to join a sinking ship. >> look, a new polling. i can't remember where it was . i should remember where it was. i should p

priti patel, your leadership candidate rival, has called for parliament to be recalled.oncerns, aren't they, that elected representatives aren't really present as people are greatly concerned about police stations going up in flames in sunderland, there seems to be no end to the unrest. keir starmer is going on holiday this week. we understand. what's your reaction to that ? reaction to that? >> well, look i think it would be completely wrong for the prime minister to go on holiday whilst parts of britain are burning. >> i'm sure he's had an an election campaign. >> he's got a family. he deserves some time off doesn't he. >> well, i'm sure that the government, like the whole country, sees the severity of this situation. i know that they're trying to get a grip on it, and i welcome some of the measures that they've already taken, like having more prosecutors, having the courts sit at weekends. but this is a very serious situation, and we need the prime minister to be leading the country. we, the police, need our full support and they need to know that he is there supporti

>> priti patel, there , speaking >> priti patel, there, speaking to our very own patrick christys lastight. well those riots were sparked by misinformation onune were sparked by misinformation online following last week's southport stabbings and shadow minister for crime and policing, matt vickers told us this morning he thinks online criminality should be taken just as seriously as offline social media operators have to take responsibility for some of the things that are going on. >> do you know what? if you allow people to spread misinformation on the scale, it's being spread that has real consequences. we saw the online safety bill come forward. one of the problems with with social media is that it moves so fast . media is that it moves so fast. technology moves so fast. but we saw the online safety bill come forward creating that precedent that these operators will be held to account for what goes on. they do have responsibility to make sure that misinformation is controlled, is prevented . is controlled, is prevented. >> turning to the us and kamala harris says tim walsh is the vi

he never saw this like priti patel.t the other rivals can't. yes. >> well, what i find interesting though, with all of this is what makes this feel like a complete mess. actually for the tories is that priti patel, who's quite right, seems to be playing to the middle ground . tom the middle ground. tom tugendhat, who's very middle ground, seems to be playing to the right. you don't know where anybody stands anymore . anybody stands anymore. >> well, where they stand is they're trying to appeal to a broad church within the party, so they are all trying. they're also trying to distance themselves from years of infighting, which, frankly, the pubuc infighting, which, frankly, the public have had enough of . so public have had enough of. so i think that's also part of it. tom tugendhat does also make the interesting point in this interview that he doesn't think that concern about migration should be seen as a far right issue, which i think a lot of people, sensible people, will say we agree with that. and we don't want we d

priti patel or any other individual.h to control legal migration. it ended with the outrage of net legal migration to this country being over half a million in a year. now, no country can sustain that level of population growth purely from migration. >> and that was all about issuing too many visas for all kinds of things, all kinds of different visas, >> got out of control, >> got out of control, >> and as a result, we ended up with that situation. what that does, by the way, is several things. it displaces investment in their own workforce. >> it depresses wage levels. >> it depresses wage levels. >> it depresses wage levels. >> it puts immense pressure on pubuc >> it puts immense pressure on public services. everyone who comes needs a house. they need health treatment and all, and they use the roads. so of course, people who come to this country to work bring an economic benefit. everyone who comes also brings a cost. as i say, they use public services. they need housing and so on. so yes, i think the last government

it's dame priti patel. to run for the conservative leadership. i actually do have a couple of lines to tease for you now, she was absolutely scathing about sir keir starmer and yvette cooper. i asked her whether or not she thought that they'd actually made these protests worse. she also gave some very interesting views on two tier policing and whether or not the perception is a reality that the police are more afraid of tackling asian or muslim gangs as they are members of other groups. she's got a few words for jess phillips also other groups. she's got a few words forjess phillips also as words for jess phillips also as well. a quite fascinating line from priti patel about what she would do with suella braverman if she became leader of the conservative party and also why she thinks she's better than robert jenrick, who's been described by many as the favourite for the conservative leadership. and there's even a mention in there about elon musk has been a lot of back and forth between our current prime min

>> priti patel, speaking to patrick christys last night . patrick christys last night.parked by misinformation online following last week's stabbings in southport , and shadow minister southport, and shadow minister for crime and policing matt vickers told us this morning that he thinks online criminality should be taken just as seriously as offline social media operators have to take responsibility for some of the things that are going on. >> do you know what? if you allow people to spread misinformation on the scale , misinformation on the scale, it's being spread that has real consequences. we saw the online safety bill come forward. one of the problems with with social media is that it moves so fast. technology moves so fast. but we saw the online safety bill come forward creating that precedent that these operators will be held to account for what goes on. they do have responsibility to make sure that misinformation is controlled, is prevented . is controlled, is prevented. >> turning to news in the us and kamala harris says tim walz is the vice president america d

as we saw earlier, priti patel making that claim and robert jenrick both.nrick yesterday releasing a video saying that while we don't necessarily have two tier policing, the police deal with violence as they see it. he and his team think that we have two tier governing, so the prime minister, the home secretary, yvette cooper and others are are robust in in criticising the far right protests, as they should be, the horrors that we're seeing there. but perhaps more reluctant to do so for the sectarian gangs that appear to be violent in the as we saw in birmingham yesterday, for example. >> and i suppose, you know, this is a real test of a very new government. and we saw a home office minister being readily criticised by previously, very experienced politicians, the likes of james cleverly, who was home secretary, saying, hang on a minute, jess phillips should not be making the comments that she made , almost being seen to she made, almost being seen to justify the actions of a number of protesters in birmingham . of protesters in birmingham. >> yeah, so i th

parliament went into recess last tuesday, the likes of priti patel saying we should be debating thisu can feel the political pressure on the prime minister and labour acutely just by looking at the opinion polling in the last 24 hours. new poll by opinium showing that the prime minister's personal polling has gone from 19% approval to 3% in just two weeks. so already the honeymoon period is well and truly over. guys. >> yeah, it would seem so. adam, thanks very much indeed. >> it's such a shame when you see the sunday papers with terrible headlines like that. i mean, anarchy says the sun on sunday, the sunday people day of shame on our streets and the daily mail saying it's a summer of discontent and it's all well and good. >> yvette cooper saying she's, you know, she's going to crack down on all of this, and i'm not criticising for her that, actually, because, you know, this level of violence cannot be allowed. of course, it can't. it is it is against the law. however, how do you do that if you're not addressing these other issues, as richard raised and already jan in dorset saying,

lots going on this morning, including the latest on the tory leadership race with priti patel baring all in the papers about the threat from nigel farage. also, the courts fast tracking prosecutions in a bid to quash the growing riots that have been taking place across britain. and i'll share with you some more of my chat with eric trump, the son of would be us president donald trump , when i met of would be us president donald trump, when i met him in aberdeen yesterday. elsewhere, as russia has released several us prisoners in a recent diplomatic exchange highlighting ongoing efforts to resolve international tensions, could this be a significant step towards improved bilateral relations? military historian peter caddick—adams will be here to share his thoughts on what this means for us russian relations. meanwhile, tensions have intensified between israel and iran in the past week . and iran in the past week. that's after the killing of a hamas chief in iran. and that came, of course, after israel retaliated against the hezbollah attack in the golan heights, which killed 12 israeli

priti patel, of course, is fighting kemi badenoch. robert jenrick mel cleverly, robert jenrick mel stride and tom tugendhat to be crowned the next conservative leader. but has she just blown it with that rather tone deaf answer on immigration? joining me now is former adviser to michael gove. charlie rowley. good evening charlie. good evening. your presence this evening. your presence this evening. thank you for having me. first of all, when was the last time you spoke to your old boss, michael gove, not that long ago. >> he actually. the last time we spoke, he messaged me when i was on this channel to say, very well done. in fact, he followed me on and we had a nice chat down the line. >> have you asked him who he wants to be the next leader of your party? >> i haven't and i wouldn't ask because he will, i'm sure, make up his own mind just as we all would. >> okay , well if you were going >> okay, well if you were going to punt on it, who would he be going for? i mean, he was a massive kemi backer before, wasn't he? >> i think he sup

kemi badenoch dame priti patel, mel stride tom tugendhat, james cleverly and mrjenrick himself.do think that it's likely to be someone like kemi badenoch robert jenrick possibly, maybe. tom tugendhat might get there, but i think that's where the kind of base of the party is, is broadly left, is left or centre ground at the moment, compared to being a right wing party in last parliament. and that does mean they might try and push out some of the right wing candidates , which could cause a candidates, which could cause a problem. i think with the base of the party, which is quite much more right wing. so that kind of schism is a problem. but we heard it from robert jenrick. he said he would like to bring back maybe the rwanda plan that's workable if he becomes prime minister after the next election, he would look to leave the european convention on human rights. he says the party has got to stop promising and delivering on net migration, a huge failure there and also on taxation. so i think he's trying to find a way to here rebuild the party's confidence after the disastrous elect

called for it , priti patel's called for it, where she's saying, we've got to have a proper debate aboutwhat's gone wrong, why, and actually how do we how do we move forwards and have a grown up recognition that whilst violence is completely condemned from all sides, without any hesitation whatsoever , rioting hesitation whatsoever, rioting and all of it, it's got to stop. >> but actually there are a lot of very decent , concerned of very decent, concerned british citizens about mass immigration. the impact on our society , and they don't society, and they don't appreciate a prime minister. last week who made the situation far worse himself by saying that anybody who was protesting was automatically a far right thug . automatically a far right thug. that was the implication of what he did. it was appalling, and it's made the situation much worse. we've got to have a sensible day, get people back in the chamber, explain what the government thinks has happened and what they think they're going to do about it in order to to, reassure people that the concerns about the impact on on people's

. >> however , speaking last night, >> however, speaking last night, the former home secretary priti patelalled for the labour government to be more accountable. >> this is why we have to have the questions, the scrutiny to the questions, the scrutiny to the home secretary and to keir starmer because actually the police need to have the tools, the equipment, the backing to police in the right way across all protests. it doesn't matter who, but literally all the protests where we're seeing thuggery , violence, criminality, thuggery, violence, criminality, everyone. that's involved in that, these protests should be pleased. i've seen footage on television. i'm sure you have as well. i saw some on social media last night from one part of the country where i saw no police . i country where i saw no police. i want to know. i want to know why that was why. why was there no police presence? >> it comes as the metropolitan police commissioner has dismissed accusations of two tier policing, calling it complete nonsense. the criticism came from figures including nigel farage and elon musk, who argue

we've got tom tugendhat, we've got priti patel , mel stride kemi priti patel, mel stride kemi badenoch jenrick and james cleverly. they are battling it out. i've got to say, i don't really care who wins the next tory leadership. and i was thinking, is that bad of me? but get this, a poll came out today saying 62% of people are not bothered either. are you one of those, jake berry, why do you think this is first and foremost that no one really cares? >> well, it's always the case, actually. if you look back at the polling from labour leadership elections when you were in opposition government in this country is basically designed to make opposition largely irrelevant. and we've got a very split and small opposition at the moment. when you're in opposition, people are interested in anything you do , interested in anything you do, really, until you get nearer to an election and also the other thing is leadership. elections are by their very nature, an internal discussion within a party about what goods it's going to put, who it's going to put in its shop window to try and win the next ele

so priti patel backed off from that approach. wanted to go down that road, but she listened to the advice of those legal teams at the home office, and we are where we are with now border force effectively, and they hate you saying this, but effectively, acting as a taxi service when these migrant boats reach uk waters, they are picked up. it's as simple as that every day. and we've seen it again today with 150 people who have crossed the english channel three occasions. they got into uk waters from three boats and they were picked up by border force and taken to dover. but there is some robust tactics still taking place out in the channel. martin, we can show you another bit of video recently that shows the spanish involved in robustly dealing with a small boat out in the middle of the channel as well. or no, we can't bnng channel as well. or no, we can't bring you that. >> we'll do it in the next hour. mark white we'll have plenty more nibbles at this story throughout the show. thank you very much. mark white. now, less than two
