With Tatiana Sanchez. Thank you very much and good morning. This is the latest from the newsroom. The governments under pressure explain why there pressure to explain why there were delays in removing migrants from bibby stockholm after from the bibby stockholm after traces of legionella were discovered. Dorset council says discovered. Dorset council says home Office Contractors were told about the bacteria on the day Asylum Seekers boarded the barge. All 39 people were removed from the vessel on friday. At least three days after concerns were raised. Shadow Northern Ireland secretary peter kyle says the government is focusing on the wrong thing. Wrong thing. If there is a barge which is being brought to our country and is so rusty that it needed work done on it to make it safe, worthy to travel across the channel then is it safe for human habitation . Have the tests been done . Ministers werent even asking because they were so busy trying to create a row in pubuc busy trying to create a row in public that they thought would be politically advantageous for them on headlines them. If you focus on headlines rather than focusing on solutions, it will always come back to bite you. And that is the story of this government. The story of this government. The government is set to announce plans ensure announce new plans to ensure cancer is caught earlier performance targets will be scrapped and replaced with a new, faster diagnosis standard, which will see patients whove been urgently referred receiving a diagnosis within 28 days. Patients with cancer will then start treatment within nine weeks from the date of referral. While the nhs says the proposals will help diagnose more cancers earlier and save more cancers earlier and save more lives , well this comes as more lives, well this comes as Junior Doctors in england continue their four day strike. Its estimated a million procedures and appointments will be cancelled and rearranged due to the action. The walkout started on friday. It ends tomorrow at 7 am. Its the fifth round of strikes by medical Association Members since march. Over a pay dispute. Gp dr. Laurence gerlis says the strikes arent working. The idea of doctors chanting on picket lines to me it makes me feel very uncomfortable indeed. Its not a good look at all for doctors and i dont think that the strikes are working. This is now 15 days of Junior Doctors strikes. And i Junior Doctors strikes. And i think its becoming counterproductive. I think the government are using it against them. We had the Prime Minister saying blaming the Junior Doctors for the waiting list, which is probably not entirely fair , but theyve given the fair, but theyve given the government the opportunity to use that against them. Use that against them. The number of People Killed in hawaii wildfires has now reached 93. Its feared the number of victims could still climb with hundreds of people still missing. The historic resort town of lahaina on the island of maui was mostly destroyed. The federal Emergency Management agency estimates it will cost more than £4 billion to rebuild. You can get more on to rebuild. You can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website, gbnews. Com. Now its back to martin and. Bev its back to martin and. Bev and thanks for that, tatiana. Superb. Okay. The migrant crisis could last another five years until its brought under control. Thats according to a leaked government document out today. Thats right. The memo shows that Civil Servants are planning mass accommodation sites until 2028, making a mockery of the governments pledge to stop the boats. This comes after six migrants died trying to cross the English Channel after a dinghy sank with witnesses now claiming that gunshots were heard near dunkirk as migrants clashed with people smugglers. Smugglers. Well, here to pick through all of that is a political commentator, pierce pottinger. This is a leaked memo. Pierce good morning. This is a leaked memo. Pierce good morning. Is a this is a leaked memo. Pierce good morning. Is a disaster for good morning. Is a disaster for the government when theyre saying one thing and apparently know different behind know Something Different behind the scenes. Yes. Mean , its an yes. I mean, its an unfortunate leaked memo. It was written in march this year. Its only now emerged, as they say. Only now emerged, as they say. And again, i think its probably at the behest of a group of Civil Servant s who would like to see Suella Braverman go so im actually rather dismissive of this. I think the whole problem and so many people since the tragedy over the weekend and have been jumping on the bandwagon again to attack the government and say blame it entirely on the home office , entirely on the home office, when in fact, the real problem lies in france and it is quite clear that the french, if you read the french newspapers over the weekend, le figaro was talking particularly about the new strain between london and paris. France has a huge paris. France has a huge immigration problem itself in the since 1980, theyve had 28 immigration bills in parliament, which is incredibly all its a number one issue for Marine Le Pens frightening extreme right party. The national party. And theyre ahead in the polls of macron. So the french immigration is arguably an even bigger issue than it is here. Yeah, and piers, this brings stark kind of focus now on the deal with france. Front page of deal with france. Front page of todays times details, astonishing details. 20 of astonishing details. 20 of french coppers who patrol beaches are currently on on houday beaches are currently on on holiday because guess what . France has closes down in august, which coincidental plea is one of the peak months, if not the peak month for illegal sailings taking departing french beaches. Another one is the gunfire to kurdish gangs running riot in the camps completely. The police have lost control of those. Are these people boarding . The thing is to britain, are we importing criminals . And another astonishing point thats baffled me since the tragedy, and that is why were british vessels from the rnli deployed only four miles from the french coast, is revealed . It took 15 minutes for french lifeboats to get there. Where we were there in a quarter of the time. So my question to you, piers, is why the heck are we paying £500 million for the privilege of a deal thats clearly lousy . Well, i agree with you. I think its absolutely shocking. And i mean, im afraid also with the french. The french are a law unto themselves , having had unto themselves, having had a house in france for 25 years, i can tell you, i mean, some of the holidays, the french workers take, particularly in government art departments, including the police, are mind boggling. They police, are mind boggling. They have huge holidays. And i mean, have huge holidays. And i mean, this is another example when its obvious august, because the waters tend to be calmer, the be calmer, the weather is better. Its waters tend to be calmer, the weather is better. Its waters tend to be calmer, the weather is better. Its going to waters tend to be calmer, the weather is better. Its going to be a key time for illegal be a key time for Illegal Migrants to try and come over. Migrants to try and come over. But according to some reports but according to some reports ive read , the police were in ive read ive read, the police were in actually watching people go from towns to the beach to get on these boats. I mean, they just these boats. I mean, they just sat and watched. Now, why arent sat and watched. Now, why arent they rounded up . I mean, i just they rounded up . I mean, i just dont get it. Where do we how do we incentivise the french, though , incentivise the french, though, piers, to do more to stop people leaving their shores . Because if a half £1 billion appears, were getting very little for our money. There and they want to get rid of people that they cant accommodate there, theyre taking about 123,000 a year Asylum Seekers in in the french the french. Do you have some sympathy for them in their position . Well, i mean , as position . Well, i mean, as i said only recently , this is an said only recently, this is an international problem. It cannot simply be solved by some of the asinine suggestions of people in some of the charities. And the labour party making these absurd suggestions about so called safe routes. Well, how do you create a safe route from the taliban . Yeah, i mean , its not that easy, but mean, its not that easy, but that also just makes me consider bidens role in this. I know that might sound like a bit of a non sequitur, but the way that we desert afghanistan, biden and the and the uk under bons biden and the and the uk under Boris Johnson is shamed for because this was always to going happen. The because this was always to going happen. The afghanistan the afghani people. It is a terrible country to live in partly because of the role that the west played. Yes. What do we do about that . Well, again, i mean, thats a global problem and we cant turn back the clock. Also, if you back the clock. Also, if you look , its iranians and albania look, its iranians and albania are the key people coming over. Now. Albania is supposed to be a democracy with a western style government and yet and has a lovely beaches and quite a nice country. All in all. All in all. So i mean, you know, its an extremely complex problem that requires International Collaboration to sort out. And again , britain is a very small again, britain is a very small island. France has got a lot island. France has got a lot more space. I mean, we may end but according to some reports ivewithj but according to some reports ivewith International Cities up with International Cities being built for migrants. Yeah and this is the sort of thing if the eu had any kind of real vision theyd be looking at because its a problem affecting the whole of europe , not just britain. Well, i hate to rain. You pay your parade there, piers, but i dont think the eu does have any sort of long term vision on this. In fact, it doesnt. Its a disaster of their own reckoning in many ways because they are so pro free movement. They are so pro open borders and refugees welcome. This is refugees welcome. This is something which they trying something which they are trying to the continent. I to move around the continent. I think youre right. Why think youre dead right. Why would macron effectively create a hard border at dunkirk and calais and contain this issue within his own country when it could be heading towards electoral defeat for him domestically . But back to the point of looking at the value for money of this half £1 billion to france, what can we do about what can we stop do about it . What can we stop paying do about it . What can we stop paying can we paying it . Can we can we initiate, for example, dont initiate, for example, i dont know, french vessels know, stopping french vessels fishing in british waters as a tit tat political tit for tat political revenge. Where from here . Where do we go from here . Because at the moment, this deal just isnt working for britain. Because at the moment, this deal justno,t working for britain. Because at the moment, this deal justno,t isnt ng for britain. Because at the moment, this deal justno,t isnt workingitain. Because at the moment, this deal justno,t isnt working for n. No, it isnt working for britain. And i think unfortunately, we i think weve paid to whole sum. So that paid to the whole sum. So that we cant back. What we we cant claw it back. What we do to do round do need to do is sit round a table and try try and hammer out a bit bit more of a of an efficient working system, maybe supplying our own officers to go over there and assist the police. But they need to. The only way theyll stop the boats is to stop them actually getting in the water and stop the people getting on them before they start coming across the channel. Because the moment theyre in the sea, the french think wonderful. Its now britains problem. Astonishing. Problem. Yeah, astonishing. And we saw that. Pierce brosnan, well have leave it brosnan, well have to leave it there. Just have to say, there. And i just have to say, there. And i just have to say, the french have said they are conducting inquiry and conducting a full inquiry and investigation into recent conducting a full inquiry and investigso3n into recent conducting a full inquiry and investigso they to recent conducting a full inquiry and investigso they they ent conducting a full inquiry and investigso they they are at events. So they they are at least paying lip service to that. And also , steve has got in and also, steve has got in touch with the show to say why Marine Le Pen is not extreme right. She is populist. Calling you out on that. Oh, well, if shes not extreme, right. I dont know who is. I dont know who is. Oh, thank you so much , piers. Oh, thank you so much, piers. Oh, thank you so much, piers. Good to see you. Now, sticking with the theme of the migrant crisis and the migrant crisis and how the Labour Party Tackle it labour party would tackle it over weekend , shadow over the weekend, shadow immigration minister Stephen Kinnock negotiate kinnock said we will negotiate a new agreement with eu new return agreement with the eu that gets your ears tingling, doesnt it . Certainly does. It seems like its closer alignment degrees its closer alignment by degrees of reckoning anyhow. Secondly, we backlog down by we will get the backlog down by quickly removing those with no right to be here. And third, we will after the criminal will go after the criminal smuggling gangs, but our labour trying to reverse brexit here andifs trying to reverse brexit here and its keir starmer, just tony blair in disguise. Well, joining us is the well, joining us now is the former minister for former labour minister for europe, macshane. Dennis, europe, denis macshane. Dennis, good. Maybe we start good morning. Maybe we start with that. First question is keir starmer just tony blair in disguise . And if so, is that a disguise . And if so, is that a good or a bad thing . Well, i have an article about this in an excellent platform called the article later this morning. You can read that all id say is that if keir starmer can win three elections, transform the economy, pour money into the nhs, but another 20,000 cops on the street, create sure start homes to alleviate poverty. You tell me alleviate poverty. You tell me when to stop. Bev i wont cry for the sake of my own grandchildren and children living in britain. No, i mean the problem is talking about blair. I was with him with the then president of france, president chirac in le touquet in 2003. I think. And chirac in 2003. I think. And chirac offered a deal so that the border into england will be on engush border into england will be on english soil, and we refuse it. Now, that might even solve a problem. I dont think very much about what piers said that i just dont think theres an instant solution to this. The instant solution to this. The poush instant solution to this. The polish government is going to have a wacky referendum on election saying election day in october, saying , do you want migrants coming into poland . Well, we ran a huge into poland . Well, we ran a Huge Campaign for years against poush campaign for years against polish workers coming into britain. We voted for brexit. Now the polish workers dont. Um, so honestly, i mean, ive been looking into lots of this. I dont have any answers. I have a lot of sympathy. I dont to have sympathy with the government. You cant have sympathy people sympathy with the people whove given us 100,000 extra Asylum Seekers no good reason. But seekers for no good reason. But yeah , actually talking to our yeah, actually talking to our what about it . Try it. We havent done it for six years. Okay. Dennis sorry. Okay. Okay. Dennis well, we also had a referendum on controlling our borders in the uk. It was called Brexit Starmer did his brexit and keir starmer did his to best reverse by heading to best reverse that by heading up the peoples Vote Movement for years trying to cancel brexit. I want get into the brexit. I want to get into the detail of what stephen detail now of what Stephen Kinnock , the shadow immigration kinnock, the shadow immigration minister, in kinnock, the shadow immigration minsunday in kinnock, the shadow immigration minsunday mirror in kinnock, the shadow immigration minsunday mirror , in kinnock, the shadow immigration minsunday mirror , and in kinnock, the shadow immigration minsunday mirror , and to in kinnock, the shadow immigration minsunday mirror , and to quote, the sunday mirror, and to quote, a new return deal with the European Union. Well, i asked European Union. Well, i asked Kevin Saunders of border force about that yesterday. He said youd as chance of youd have as much chance of doing with the eu that doing a deal with the eu on that as you platting fog, which doing a deal with the eu on that as yar platting fog, which doing a deal with the eu on that as ya great platting fog, which doing a deal with the eu on that as ya great metaphor. Fog, which doing a deal with the eu on that as ya great metaphor. Secondly] was a great metaphor. Secondly he he wants to ensure genuine refugees can contribute to britain. That sounds like work visas to me. I put that to the shadow Education Minister and she said yes. Now im put it, i put it to you here. If we have a new deal with the European Union and we have a guaranteed influx of cheap labour via the asylum system, were going back to the days of brexit. Labour seemed to me to be moving us back towards 2016. Oh , nice, nice try, martin oh, nice, nice try, martin but there isnt a single politician who will believe you. Nobody in europe will believe you return or rejoin is not on the cards. I you return or rejoin is not on the cards. I may have you return or rejoin is not on the cards. I may have the the cards. I may have the t shirt somewhere, but i did argue at the time , um, that the second at the time, um, that the second referendum wouldnt work. We referendum wouldnt work. We have to live with brexit. Its costly , enormous damage. Were costly, enormous damage. Were not to going were not going to have a brexit return debate today. Have a brexit return debate today. I think what stephen today. I think what Stephen Kinnock was saying , today. I think what Stephen Kinnock was saying, i mean, the wish may be more Wishful Thinking than reality. If you dont talk to the french, if you open the daily mail Daily Telegraph times, listen to telegraph and times, listen to and radio, all you have is insult, insult, insult. The idea of not a product we have is how lazy and always on holiday a bit of a joke. So we ought to start of a joke. So we ought to Start Talking to them. Yes, we ought above all to acknowledge we created iraq. We created afghanistan, we destroyed libya. We created a failed state in syria. And when you do all those things, then millions of people flood into europe. Its far flood into europe. Its far worse in france, i think you said, to be fair, martin, as you said, to be fair, martin, as you said or piers did, its far worse in italy. Its far worse in greece. Its far worse in poland. And this is a slight sense of irritation. I expect that in europe, the brits are the only ones with a problem. The only ones with a problem. Why dont they come and talk to us or just talk to us as a bilateral partner . Nothing to do with me joining the eu. See what we could do to sort this out. Theres 100 we could do to sort this out. Theres100 mile of we could do to sort this out. Theres 100 mile of coastline between dunkirk and le touquet , between dunkirk and le touquet, roughly from folkestone to brighton. Roughly from folkestone to brighton. Im roughly from folkestone to brighton. Im sorry. You cant brighton. Im sorry. You cant control patrol every every yard of that border unless we think dennis , can i take you to task dennis, can i take you to task on a couple of points there . Its. Its incorrect to say other european nations didnt do something about this. Maloney declared a state of emergency in italy and effectively stopped boats in italy and sent boats shoring in italy and sent them instead to france. The poush them instead to france. The polish Prime Minister, as you correctly just said, is throwing a referendum on this debate because relocation scheme because an eu relocation scheme with no say by the polish people was covering that story later is being dumped on poland. What im putting to you is if we had conviction politics in the uk like that, we might get somewhere. Somewhere. Mrs. Maloney is the laughing stock in immigration. The boats stock in immigration. The boats are landing. Whats happening is that some of them are tipping over with far worse deaths than the six tragic loss of life we had off sangatte. The french government, the interior of the minister, the home secretary openly attacked her and saying he tried to dump her refugee problem into france. Poland is not going to close its borders. You can walk from germany from any neighbouring country of poland into poland. This is just poland into poland. This is just a gimmick to combine. Imagine having a brexit referendum at the same time as we had a general election like in 2015. Great its just a stunt and frankly, i wish it would work. Id go for anything that would work. This immigration thing is poisoning us all. Left, right doesnt matter. Its causing a disaster for so many communities families, politicians, decent governments in europe. But governments in europe. But unless we talk about it a bit, joint and find solutions, were still preaching in several years time. Time. Martin dennis, sometimes when we consider what life under a Labour Government might look like, its interesting to look towards wales, and theres a couple of stories that are pretty in the press today. Telegraph reporting how many welsh people are having to go to england nhs treatment england for nhs treatment because the nhs is even worse in wales than it is in england. And also one story which has been revealed also by the telegraph is the fact that dragtimes a story hour, which a lot of parents are concerned about, blurs lines. Stay with me here. Blurs lines between the content or the things that children should be exposed to was actually funded by the welsh government. Arent in cardiff government. Arent in cardiff with welsh taxpayers money that might be a new story to you , but might be a new story to you, but it does concern people that we just be sort of living in a in a woke world of no biological sex where anything goes and no one can get any nhs treatment. Can get any nhs treatment. Well, last time i was at gb news studios, i dont know whether i should reveal this to you and martin and your listeners. You had single sex lavatories. I didnt see all the great stars of gb news sort of protesting. They had to go into the cubicle by themselves. Ive the cubicle by themselves. Ive beenin the cubicle by themselves. Ive been in cubicles down the down the line to be serious. The the line to be serious. The welsh governments not had all the nhs. Well, the scottish government, the nationalist government is a disaster for the welsh, all nationalist governments tend to treat things badly. But the governments tend to treat things badly. But the big governments tend to treat things badly. But the big story today badly. But the big story today surely is that the British Government and the tory government is now abolishing the two week immediate Cancer Treatment promise and that im not young. I mean , cancer may be not young. I mean, cancer may be around the corner for me. Im around the corner for me. Im very worried about it. My grandchild not yet watching these television programmes, but if i see any of that nonsense on it, ill come to gb news and have a good moan. Okay . Yeah can i just. Just point something out about the European Union again . Because im obsessed. I just. Union again . Because im obsessed. Ijust. I union again . Because im obsessed. I just. I just think that we are heading in a direction of travel where a lot of senior players in the of people, senior players in the labour sending out labour party are sending out cosying messages to the cosying up messages to the european lammy, European Union. David lammy, shadow foreign has shadow foreign secretary, has said wants to close the deal. Said he wants to close the deal. The number one priority for him is a closer deal with the European Union on defence, on education, action, on trade and now were hearing on immigration and returns. So i dont think im with you here. I dont think, dennis, that the labour party will be foolish enough to propose a second referendum, at least not in the first term, but is just like death by is this just like death by a thousand treaties, closer alignment over time to the eu rowing back, rowing back and then down the line or dropping in second referendum . In that second referendum . Because what keir starmer because thats what keir starmer in his heart hearts, wants. In his heart of hearts, wants. I dont think thats theres any evidence for that. Ive been at the speeches where keir has said he campaigned for it for three years. No , no make brexit work. No, no make brexit work. No, no make brexit work. That was theresa mays slogan. Have we made brexit work . Weve got a 5 drop in the economy. Im not going to list all the problems. Martin you know them as well as i do. Theyre in the papers now. Every day. Every single day. I mean, every single business says, what about covid lockdowns . Dennis you know what . You cant blame all the cant you cant blame all the woes on brexit. Woes and betide me on brexit. What the small matter of what about the small matter of £2. 6 trillion index of lockdowns that voted on . That your party voted on . It was a government thats got the big majority. Boris not boris. Now shes got the biggest majority of tory party has had bigger even the margaret thatcher. So frankly blaming labour for those votes, i dont think really valid. Ive no think is really valid. Ive no idea. I mean think is really valid. Ive no idea. I mean im think is really valid. Ive no idea. I mean im hope that at idea. I mean im hope that at some stage we will have a politics and if i may say so, a media that can drop simply the knee jerk anti french anti european line, not fall in love with the eu, but simply say what is in britains best interest . It wont happen under this government. We know all that. I mean, lee anderson says that. I mean, lee anderson says that. I mean, lee anderson says that. So well see what the that. So well see what the sunak Prime Minister does and, you know, bring him up on then. But i think an awful lot of businesses would do anything to be able to start having a normal trading relationship with the worlds biggest Single Market on our doorstep. Our doorstep. Okay, dennis, thank you. Good to see you. Dennis mcshane, thank you for joining to see you. Dennis mcshane, thank you forjoining us. Youve thank you for joining us.

Com but first, heres your morning news with Tatiana Sanchez. Tatiana sanchez. Martin thank you. Its 10 01. Martin thank you. Its10 01. This is the latest from the newsroom. The governments under pressure to explain why there were delays in removing migrants from the bibby stockholm after traces of legionella were discovered. Dorset council says discovered. Dorset council says home Office Contractors were told about the bacteria on the day Asylum Seekers boarded the barge. All 39 people were removed from the vessel on friday. At least three days after concerns were raised. Shadow Northern Ireland secretary peter kyle says the government is focusing on the wrong thing. Wrong thing. If there is a barge which is being brought to our country and is so rusty that it needed work done on it to make it safe, worthy to travel across the channel then is it safe for human habitation . Have the tests human habitation . Have the tests been done . Ministers werent even asking because they were so busy trying to create a row in pubuc busy trying to create a row in public that they thought would be politically advantageous for them. If you focus on headlines rather than focusing on solutions means it will always come bite you. And that come back to bite you. And that is the story of this government i the government is set to announce new plans to ensure cancer is caught earlier performance targets will be scrapped and replaced with a new, faster diagnosis standard which will see patients whove been urgently referred receiving a diagnosis within 28 days. Patients with cancer will then start treatment within nine weeks from the date of referral. The nhs says the proposals will help diagnose more cancers earlier and save more lives. Earlier and save more lives. Well, this comes as Junior Doctors in england continue their four day strike. Its estimated a million procedures and appointments will be cancelled and rearranged due to the action. The walkout started on friday. It ends at 7 am. Tomorrow. Its the fifth round of strikes by medical Association Members since march over a pay dispute. Gp dr. Laurence gerlis says the strikes are not working. The idea of doctors chant ing on picket lines to me it makes me feel very uncomfortable and indeed its not a good look at for all doctors and i dont think that the strikes are working this is now 15 days of Junior Doctors strikes and i think its become counterproductive. I think the government are using it against them. We had the Prime Minister saying blaming the Junior Doctors for the waiting list, which is probably not entirely fair, but theyve given the government the opportunity to use that against them to people are still in a serious condition after a car crashed into a campsite in pembrokeshire. Nine people were hurt when the vehicle flipped and rolled ploughing into them at the newgale site on saturday night. One of those critically injured was airlifted to hospital. A child and a baby were in a tent that was hit but escaped serious injury. The number of people injury. The number of People Killed in hawaii wildfires is now reached 93. Its feared the number of victims could still climb with hundreds of people still missing. The historic resort town of lahaina on the island of maui was mostly destroyed. The federal Emergency Management agency estimates itll cost more than £4 billion to rebuild messages encouraging smokers to quit could be added to the inside of cigarette packets. Proposals being considered by the government would highlight the health and financial benefits of giving up. Inserts would also offer advice and support for those trying to stop their already used in countries like canada, israel and australia. Its hoped the inserts could lead to an additional 30,000 smokers giving up their habit and save up to £16 up their habit and save up to £1. 6 billion in health costs per pubsin £1. 6 billion in health costs per pubs in england and wales will be allowed to continue selling takeaway pints as the rules are brought in to help pubs during covid lockdown.

This is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by simply saying play gb news. Now its back to martin. Bev its back to martin. Bev good morning. Thank you very much for joining good morning. Thank you very much forjoining us. Now would much for joining us. Now would you want a referendum on how we tackle immigration . Well, polands minister, polands Prime Minister, matthias morawiecki, Matthias Maurer morawiecki, accepted challenge. And accepted the challenge. And guess what . Polish citizens will be heading to the polls this autumn. Voters will be asked if they are willing to accept thousands of immigrants from middle of immigrants from the middle east after fears east and africa after fears emerged that people from different could different cultures could threaten cultural threaten the countrys cultural identity. Identity and security. So should we do something similar here in britain . Were joined by belinda lucy, joined now by belinda de lucy, former mep for the brexit party. And ivan sampson, immigration lawyer. Good morning to you both. Bill linda martin and i were discussing this and the idea that that rishi sunak or any Prime Minister would ever give the British Public a referendum on this seems pie in the sky. Because why would you ask people a question where we kind of know the answer anyway . And also what could they ever do about it when they have confirmation from the british pubuc confirmation from the British Public that this is what people would actually want . Would actually want . Unfortunately, i think decades of eu membership has had a very corrosive impact on the culture in westminster. I think its made them very suspicious of democracy. I think that was seen in 2016 when we had a huge democratic expression. It was democratic expression. It was a beautiful day. We decided to vote to leave the eu and the spasm they had the meltdown they had at a democratic vote reflected a westminster that had fallen out of love with democracy. Now, i mean, its democracy. Now, i mean, its very sad. It was a big, big, big, bad day for the mother of all parliaments. Has it changed . All parliaments. Has it changed . Will it respect the referendum result if we have one now, now, perhaps , perhaps not. But perhaps, perhaps not. But i cant be sure and look like many. I have huge compassion for those struggling around the world. But i will never be convinced that the solution is to our doors to all to fling open our doors to all those all the poor and the suffering of world. We just suffering of the world. We just simply do that. So simply cant do that. So a referendum is needed to cap the numbers and to reaffirm the eligibility of Asylum Seekers to make sure the bar is set higher. So we protect those most at risk from certain death. We need a referendum on that. But what a sad reflection that we need a referendum on our current political status that they cant even perform the basic duty of controlling our borders and protecting our country. Shame on them. Them. Great. Of ivan sampson. Now lets turn to because this lets turn to you, because this is to put Prime Minister is going to put Prime Minister morawiecki on a huge collision course the European Union. Course with the European Union. I dont know if youve seen the video, quite spicy. It video, but its quite spicy. It shows i dunno if we can play that now. So people can see that at home. The video shows scenes of streets burning , of looting. Of streets burning, of looting. Theres the Prime Minister now you can see burning of cars and theres a guy licking a knife, overturned cars , looting of overturned cars, looting of shops. This is put out by the poush shops. This is put out by the polish Prime Minister theyre pushing towards this referendum. But what i want to ask you as a as somebody with legal insight, where is the legal him for this . Because presumably, ivan, hes going to be on a huge collision course with both the eu and, of course, our friends, the European Convention human European Convention on human rights, poland a rights, of which poland is a member. And yet theyre holding rights, of which poland is a mreferendum yet theyre holding rights, of which poland is a mreferendum int theyre holding rights, of which poland is a mreferendum in abjectre holding rights, of which poland is a mreferendum in abject defianceg a referendum in abject defiance of both of those institutions. Of both of those institutions. Indeed. But also with the Refugee Convention itself. The interesting whats the question going to be . Do be asked to the public . Do we not accept any Asylum Seekers . Is that the Asylum Seekers . Is that the question . Do we dont let anybody in at all . Well, no, i think what is the what what what that is what they what what what that is what they what theyve said, what the ruling party has said and moravsky morawiecki has said is he wants to ask voters in a referendum whether they support accepting and thousands accepting and i quote, thousands of Illegal Immigrants from the middle east and africa. Middle east and africa. And then it goes further on to say, under the forced relocation mechanism imposed by the european bureaucracy. So to the european bureaucracy. So to be clear, this is a divvying up of the illegals who have entered the European Land mass and the European Union has decided where theyre going to be put within theyre going to be put within the Member States without their being consulted. Fashion other being consulted. Fashion other than a vote at the european parliament. You and i know beunda parliament. You and i know belinda is at best shall we say, fig leaf democracy. So the fig leaf democracy. So the poush fig leaf democracy. So the polish youre saying we dont want to be told what to do. Were going to hold a referendum on it. So what i want to hear from you, ivan, do they have a legal right to do that . Or as a lawyer, would you be challenging that . As weve seen and that . As weve seen time and time uk . Time again in the uk . Well, look, the poland is part the European Convention well, look, the poland is part also re European Convention well, look, the poland is part also signatoryin convention well, look, the poland is part also signatory to convention well, look, the poland is part also signatory to the iention and also signatory to the Refugee Convention. So whether they accept the quota by the eu , thats an internal dispute with the eu. But for every Asylum Seeker that comes to poush Asylum Seeker that comes to polish borders, theyve got to decide that asylum application within the terms and clauses of the Refugee Convention. And ill call the right as enshrined in the European Convention on human rights. I never thought i would agree with belinda, but shes absolutely right. What she says that we do need a quota. We need to have a cap. We cant help everyone. We just simply cant do that. We cant accept millions of people coming to the country. But weve got to accept our fair share and at the moment, the way its all structured is you have physically have to be in the uk to claim asylum. That is the problem , which is why people are problem, which is why people are coming here. If there was a system where you could claim asylum without actually being here, that would work much better. I also agree with beunda better. I also agree with belinda about the threat of evidential burden. Its far too evidential burden. Its far too low at the moment. It was designed that way because the Refugee Convention knew that when people are fleeing persecution , they may not have persecution, they may not have any identity documents. Thats any identity documents. Thats the problem were having is that people actually disposing of those documents. Within tension those documents. Within tension of disguising where theyre actually from. So i think thats absolutely right. What she says, i agree with her totally. I agree with her totally. Ivan, can i just ask you specifically about the afghan resettlement system . Because resettlement system . Because when the west pulled out of afghanistan, we committed to taking 20,000 Afghan People within the coming years. This was january 22nd and 5000 within the first year. Weve already taken 22,000. Within the first year as an immigration lawyer, do you see that as a failure of that system . That system . Well, no, i think it worked really well. The afghan system and so did the syrian also policy of bringing syrians to the uk. Theres countries where the uk. Theres countries where theres conflict. And this theres conflict. And this country took its fair share. Country took its fair share. Thats what it has to do right across the board on an annual basis. As i said , we cant help basis. As i said, we cant help everyone, but we have to help our fair share. Germany takes 27 of the eu burden of refugees. Turkey has 3 Million People all jordan has a million. Pakistan has over a million. We dont take enough. I keep saying that we need to take our fair share. And once weve taken our fair share, thats our conscience. Should be clear on that. Conscience. Should be clear on that. But conscience. Should be clear on that. But again, i point out to the fact that you dont shouldnt physically have to be in the uk to claim asylum. You should be able to do it online through technology. We should be through technology. We should be able to interview people that want come here using want to come here using technology to do that. And theres no reason people theres no reason why people physically have to be in the uk to claim asylum. Belinda , i want to put it to belinda, i want to put it to you. Youre shaking your head there. Why dont you first go back ivans point there. The back to ivans point there. The answer make it easier to answer is to make it easier to apply for asylum in the uk from abroad. Whats your take on that . My take is england is a very, very small country and it is highly populated. Its one of the most highly populated countries already in europe. We have finite space. We have finite resources and money. So i think already we take beyond our fair share of people resettling in the uk as Asylum Seekers. I think we should go direct to only um, un approved refugee camps. Take absolutely no one who comes here via irregular route. Take 50 women because thats whats never been mentioned. Its all these young fit men who seem to have enough cash to pay the smugglers to shop through all the safe countries. We need to take half women and children, cap it at 20,000 a year to resettle here doesnt mean we cant help refugees in the camps financially nearer to the conflict zones. It just means were a very small island. We were a very small island. We cant take the same amount as france and germany. We dont have the space or infrastructure to support that number. We have to support that number. We have to prioritise and cap it at 20,000. Resettling in here and half have to be women and children. Currently we are a free for all for anyone. Think about it. 30 countries are at conflict at the moment. In conflict at the moment. In conflict that means 30 countries around the world. The people have the right to claim asylum here over 60 countries have made homosexuals illegal. Means homosexuals illegal. That means everyone countries everyone in those countries would have right to apply would have the right to apply for here. To for asylum here. We need to raise the bar very , very high, raise the bar very, very high, like japan, whos member like japan, whos also a member of the Refugee Convention. They only accept between 1 and 200 people a year because their eligibility is high. It stops fraud, stops abuse, it fraud, it stops abuse, and it protects the most at risk. I think we should head down a route of limiting cap capping and protecting the most vulnerable from camps. Vulnerable directly from camps. Can i quickly and belinda, can i quickly ask you the Prime Minister of poland is going to be on a collision course with the European Union here. Hes defying them at. Exactly. Dont forget, he did the same when he blockaded the border from belarus soldiers barbed belarus with soldiers and barbed wire illegals coming wire to keep illegals coming over that the russians wanted to go into poland to destabilise his belinda, a his country. Belinda, as a brexiteer , do you think the brexiteer, do you think the spirit of brexit could catch on . Could we see the beginnings of polexit . Yes. Well, look, admire and well, look, i admire and respect. Asked how proud allowed respect. Asked how proud allowed the polish Prime Minister and his party is in defending his nafion his party is in defending his nation state and his people , i nation state and his people, i can only dream of us having a government that has the spine to put british interests first and protect our our borders instead of all this peacocking on the International Stage with macron and biden, that our government and biden, that our government and labour would be much worse, by the way. Seems so happy to do so. I do think if the eu do not allow if they if they ban it completely and they reject the referendum, the spotlight will shine very clearly on the anti democrat nature of the eu and i think eurosceptic ism will set a light in europe if the eu go on a collision course with a polands right to self determine its own laws outside the eu because they are a nation state which we know the eu hate good for poland. Although i dont agree with a lot of the pms rhetoric and style of video, i do think that was a little bit much. But ivan, can we just one last question to you. Were starting to hear now its making it into the mainstream conversation a little bit about the uns agenda 2030 and the fact that by 2030, any body who wishes to seek asylum in a different country will be considered a climate migrant. Can you just i dont know whether youre aware of that or whether youre aware of that or whether youre aware of that or whether you know an awful lot about that. But if you do, can you just explain to us what that might mean . No, im not aware about being a climate migrant, and its certainly not within the Refugee Convention the European Convention or the European Convention so convention on human rights. So thats of thats outside my sphere of expertise. Expertise. Right. Not to okay. All right. Not to worry. Might we might cover worry. We might we might cover that worry. We might we might cover tha yeah. Just just i do know yeah. Just just so i do know a about it. And it basically a bit about it. And it basically means the future, climate means in the future, if Climate Change became significant change became a significant issue in countries such as north africa , then it would be deemed africa, then it would be deemed their human rights to leave that territory and our human rights to accept them. And that is an awful lot of people. Yeah, and then then you might be out of a job, even because we would basically be living in a borderless world. Thanks to Climate Change. Thank both so much. Belinda thank you both so much. Belinda de lucy and ivan sampson there. Immigration lawyer. Good to see you fascinating this the you both. Fascinating this the poush you both. Fascinating this the polish Prime Minister here. Its fascinating that hes doing that because what i imagine hes doing, hell get the result of this referee , adam. And ivan this referee, adam. And as ivan said, may not necessarily said, it may not necessarily mean can do anything mean he can he can do anything different, particularly in terms of , but it does of his obligations, but it does mean goes to the eu and mean he goes back to the eu and says, my people dont want this, and then they have to decide what about that. What to do about that. Belinda i think and as belinda said, i think whatever you stand on this, isnt it great to have political clarity . I stand for this. My nafion clarity . I stand for this. My nation wants this, and im not going to be told what to do by the european thats why the European Union. Thats why brexit and i think brexit came in. And i think poland is going to be a country to really, really watch. That was punchy, though. A bit spicy. I it was a bit spicy. I imagine. Certainly imagine. It certainly was. Imagine from the imagine if anyone from the brexit or a different you brexit party or a different you know, nigel ever put know, if nigel farage ever put out a video like that. You out a video like that. Can you imagine . Well, you think imagine . Well, if you think about heat he got that about the heat he got for that breaking point post compared to that, a teapot. Its that, it was a teapot. Its extraordinary. Us what extraordinary. Let us know what you morning. You have you think this morning. You have been in already at been getting in touch already at and dave we voted to bring and dave says, we voted to bring back hanging when was back hanging when jenkins was prime ignored Prime Minister. He still ignored it. The point . And it. What is the point . And marion from ludlow says, no ones talking about when the poush ones talking about when the polish migrants blocked polish, blocked migrants on the border , blocked migrants on the border, on the russian border. You mentioned that. Thats good. Thats good. Then glenis says if now and then glenis says if the wants make the government wants to make coming less attractive, coming here less attractive, they should create tented cities on secure disused army bases. Dont allow trips into the nearest town. They arent here as tourists. I did think it was kind of ironic that on the weekend that the bibby stockholm was introduced apparently introduced as apparently a deterrent. Record numbers deterrent. We had record numbers crossing and obviously a sad death of those people who came over and lost their lives. Tragic families involved, obviously every one of those people who died has a family. Um, but but it didnt work as a deterrent, did it . Thats what we know now. The bibby stockholm is still the only boat theyve ever stopped. Now still to come, single sex toilets are set to become the default for new non residential builds. Non residential builds. One, applaud that. I, for one, applaud that. I, for one, applaud that.

Gb news the peoples channel. Britains watching. Channel. Britains watching. Welcome back. Its 1025. Youre with britains newsroom on gb news with myself. Martin daubney and the lovely bev turner. So the government is working to stop rise in working to stop the rise in gender neutral toilets as part of effort to protect of its effort to protect single sex spaces. Yeah, single sex lavatories are set to become the lavatories. The lavatories. You dont really use the word laboratory in real life, do you . Lose single sex loos or bogs are set to become the default for new non residential buildings and those undertaking major refurbishments. Major refurbishments. Joined now by kelly so were joined now by kelly keane, founder of standing for women. To see you women. Kelly, great to see you as always. Just remind us how weve got to this place, if you would. First of all, where the government are having to step in and say we need to have single sex loos. Sex loos. Well, theres a couple of routes. The first one is the gra, the gender recognition act, which decided that men could legally identify as women. And legally identify as women. And we also have self id , we also we also have self id, we also have a culture. So thats all that sort of stuff. But but more interestingly, in 2008, the government did some research into Community Provision of toilets and they recommended and they used the word gender all they used the word gender all the way through, which i think is why were in this mess , is why were in this mess, because its sex, not gender. And they use the word gender and they say that women have more sartorial challenge when it comes to toilets. So any building of any Community Toilet should be about 70 over 30 split for women to have more cubicles. And they seem to have abandon that quite rapidly. They also that quite rapidly. They also recognise in 2008 that women find and unisex toilets more of a challenge and we really dont like them very much. And then like them very much. And then here we are 20, 23, just a couple of decades nearly later, and were reasserting that. So i hope the government mean it. I dont know if they will do it now. So katie j. This has become a huge battleground and anybody who stands up for womens rights to have a safe space is branded a bigot. And the Trans Community say, well, you know, were not sex offenders. Youre tarring us all with the same brush. Youre being bigoted, a narrow minded. But what is the truth about sex offending within all trans people more likely to sex offend than ordinary or non trans people or not . Well well, look, the case is men. Its men are more likely to offend and cause harm through physical or sexual violence. So physical or sexual violence. So i dont differentiate between a man who calls himself a woman or a man who calls himself a man. I dont think theres any difference with their criminality. However, it could be argued, and i think this would be tangible considering the sort of people that might call themselves women in prison. Um, but there is a there is a link between sex offending and claiming to be a woman, but that would be people that are already convicted of sex crimes in prison. So i really do hesitate to make such a sort of conclusion from that. But, you conclusion from that. But, you know, the problem is men, its not its not trans anything. We not its not trans anything. We dont want men in womens toilets. We dont want men in womens spaces. And women have womens spaces. And women have the right to say that. And mean it and it be listened to. It and it be listened to. And kelly, whats whats life like for you now . Because youve put yourself right at the front of this particular debate . I think what we do and i know as well, are you still planning planning on on standing against sir keir starmer in the next general election . Thats one of the things that you talked about maybe doing and constantly asking him if a woman can have a penis. Penis. Well, i think hes sort of climbed down a little bit, hasnt he . So im sure theres plenty of mps that deserve of their feet being held to the fire. So the party of women, weve been waiting a long time for our party to be recognised andifs for our party to be recognised and its been with the Electoral Commission for nearly 11 weeks. It normally takes between 4 and 6 weeks, but its been with them a long time. So im very excited to hear the news whether or not weve been accepted. And but yes, women all over the country, its not just against keir starmer. Its against anybody who really gutless who has been really gutless about this ideology and fails to recognise that women are adult human females. Recognise that women are adult human females. So we also want human females. So we also want to go into places like police and Crime Commissioners as well as mps and seats on councils. Just just going back to this this issue of toilets. Kelly what im also quite preoccupied by is School Toilets , because i have two teenage daughters and one of the toilets in their school, in their school, the main one near where they have their lunch every day is gender neutral, unisex toilets. And so i have toilets. And so i have a daughter that doesnt go to the toilet in the daytime because shes too embarrassed that one of the boys might be in the cubicle beside her or that they just smell bad in there because boys arent always great at using the loo. No offence, martin. Im sure it is true beautifully, but, you know, even even if were not talking about safety around issue , you safety around this issue, you just privacy and dignity and feeling comfortable is important to me. And lots of parents. Well, i think theres we know that there are anecdotally , we that there are anecdotally, we know that there are boys hanging around in in so called gender neutral toilets, unisex toilets. Um, decide what a girl is doing in the cubicle. And, you know, in the cubicle. And, you know, when i was ten years old, i went to a boys Birthday Party and i couldnt actually go to the toilet because every time i went, boys were peering under the yeah um, dont think the door. Yeah um, i dont think they were sexual predators. I just they just didnt have just think they just didnt have any so we know. I any good manners. So we know. I mean, all of us women, we know what to be at school what its like to be at school and have period and go to and have your period and go to the toilets and that nobody the toilets and hope that nobody can rustling in your can hear you rustling in your bag. We know that. Why . Everybodys pretending that that doesnt happen. Doesnt actually happen. And girls okay with girls are really okay with sharing space with boys. I sharing their space with boys. I have idea. But it has to stop have no idea. But it has to stop and it to stop. Yesterday and it has to stop. Yesterday kelly j. Very quickly , do you are you very quickly, do you are you hopeful that were reaching a level Public Awareness now, level of Public Awareness now, pubuc level of Public Awareness now, public yourself that public figures yourself that were reaching a point where this madness will end or or are you less optimistic . You less optimistic . No, i think more and more people are understanding what is at stake. I just think that we now have a better understanding just how far these tentacles reach through all of our Public Institutions and how many people are completely captured by this. So its going to take a lot of unravelling. But, you know, its not a case i think, ever of having to convince somebody that they dont want boys and girls spaces. Itsjust they dont want boys and girls spaces. Its just about letting them its happening. Them know that its happening. And now more people know they and so now more people know they wake maybe there will wake up and maybe there will be more challenges on individual levels , like with schools levels, like with with schools and so on. Kelly j. Keane its lovely to talk i think youre talk to you. I think youre amazing. I think youre an inspiration and keep up inspiration. And please keep up all work. We really all your hard work.

Thank you for having me on. Im doing this because i used to be homeless myself at the age of two with my mum for on and for off many years and was also homeless as a teenager. And because i experienced homelessness myself and the tragedy of what it is and basically that, you know, many lives are lost during homelessness and many suicide and of course lots of other bad things. And homelessness is very misunderstood. Ad lots of people misunderstood. Ad lots of people think homelessness is just about not drug abusers and Mental Health problems, but thats actually the minority. See, most Homeless People just cannot afford to pay the rent. And afford to pay the rent. And because youve got a massive cost of living crisis right now, where people are basically one paycheque away from losing their house and many people are facing homelessness in real time right now. In these homelessness in real time right now. In these times, homelessness in real time right now. In these times, with all now. In these times, with all our resources, there are still billions of People Living in inadequate accommodation. Can i just ask you, marco, how you became homeless , how how you became homeless, how your mum with a two year old found herself in that situation and then you again as a teenager . Because i always think its interesting to hear peoples stories. So was two years old, so when i was two years old, my mum left. My dad, she was 23. He a gambling addict. She he was a gambling addict. She had no choice. She had no money left. Live with her left. She went to live with her mum a step dad in the north left. She went to live with her m|englandi step dad in the north left. She went to live with her m|england andp dad in the north left. She went to live with her m|england and on ad in the north left. She went to live with her m|england and on the1 the north left. She went to live with her m|england and on the step north left. She went to live with her m|england and on the step on rth of england and on the step on the on the step doorstep. And her step dad said, its either me or them to her mum and her mum cannot stay here. Mum said, you cannot stay here. So my mum me to the park so my mum took me to the park and there. Now the and we lived there. Now the reason her step dad said reason that her step dad said thatis reason that her step dad said that is because sexually that is because he sexually abused she was four abused her since she was four years old under the patriarch. And she was 12 he put his and when she was 12 he put his hand on her breast and said, i didnt marry your mum for your mum. I married your mum to get to you. She was terrified. But she had to make shelter for me and her. During that time. She couldnt live there and she was terrified back to terrified even to go back to that particular environment. Does it does does that make sense . It does make lot sense. Make a lot of sense. And then you as a as a as a teenager, you found yourself in a similar situation . Ian yeah. When was 15, ian yeah. When i was 15, i left School Without any qualifications mum met qualifications and my mum met the of her dreams , who shes the man of her dreams, who shes still with.

Some of them said no, but of them said yes. And but some of them said yes. And what i used to do is i got the keys to shop and i, i lived keys to the shop and i, i lived either in the loft or under the floor in the cellar. So no one could actually see me. And i was one what we know the one of what we know as the hidden homeless, of which there are people doing are millions of people doing exactly interesting.

What first morning, both of you. What first of me ask you, mike, of all, let me ask you, mike, what to that what do you reckon to that initiative . Its quite a nice way of raising awareness. Of course is. Course it is. And you shouldnt put anybody down to raise the down whos trying to raise the awareness of homelessness. But celebrity homelessness is very different being out on the different to being out on the streets. Its the despair streets. Its the sheer despair air the air of knowing that when the light comes up in the morning, youve got nowhere to you youve got nowhere to go. You are a shower. Are not going to have a shower. You may not be able to go into a cafe and get some breakfast. Thats what its all about. So, you know, i do admire them raising money, it really raising money, but it really is celebrity raising money, but it really is celebronce you get out sleeping know, once you get out sleeping bag, to go back into bag, youve got to go back into £1,000 night suite youre £1,000 a night suite and youre very comfortable. Yeah, i agree with that, bushra. You if get but, you know, if you get like sleeping out for like a lovely sleeping out for one night and then straight back to the hilton, different. To the hilton, thats different. But lived this life. But marco has lived this life. You know, trodden those you know, hes trodden in those shoes. Understands us more shoes. He understands us more than challenges face. Than most the challenges face. And, the idea and, you know, i like the idea of the juxtaposition with the kind lobster thermidor kind of lobster thermidor brigade, the all brigade, you know, the all expenses paid davos brunch. And this be and they cant ignore that. And theyre just easing their consciences, you know. Derbyshire mike, its important you know, important because you know, people come from a background with experience. With that experience. In they they truly have it in their heart. So i think this is a Brilliant Initiative because the the the class divide across the globe ridiculous. We just globe is ridiculous. We just have the super, super duper rich and people that are and weve got people that are living which living on the street, which shouldnt happening, shouldnt be happening, especially world especially not in first world countries, which even in Great Britain we do have so if people can get involved, know, absolutely. Have problem with and i have no problem with people plenty money. People making plenty of money. I have problem people have no problem with people working really hard working really, really hard and getting what were getting rich. But what were seeing the moment is there is seeing at the moment is there is apparently no trickle down on the generation of wealth is staying in the hands of fewer and people. Feels and fewer people. Feels a normal, ordinary working people are benefiting. Are not benefiting. Can find £7 million a and we can find £7 million a day to how house sorry, Asylum Seekers, but we dont take care of our own homeless. I digress. Very good point. Should we talk about the that barack talk about the fact that barack obama gay , the little obama might be gay, the little gay change . Bushra shaikh what on this story about . On earth is this story about . Well, okay, this is in the this is this morning in the Daily Telegraph about barack obama, about letter wrote to about a love letter he wrote to an ex girlfriend, 40 years ago. And its resurfaced now and its about him saying that his mind is androgynous and he hopes to make it more so until he thinks that in terms of people rather than men and women. So this is again, about sexuality and gender. I mean, okay, this kind of seeps into this this idea that i know on social media that people were questioning Michelle Obamas gender as well. At one point there has been a social media rumour meme for a little while now that Michelle Obama was formerly a man, particularly because barack obama was very much the driving force behind gay marriage in america and trans legislation changes. We have no evidence whatsoever ever that Michelle Obama was formerly a man. But is this a revelation to you, mike . Well, its quite revelatory. Well, its quite revelatory. But remember, were in times now where nobody would even blink. You know, and remember that it comes from a letter thats just been revealed. But there was a book written in 2017 about barack obama when one of his girlfriends wrote poems hailing his bedroom prowess. Right. In 2017. So it looks like hes an athlete all round, doesnt he . Or or it could just be the case that these days its very fashionable just to kind of dally with these kind of things, progressive. Its you know, its gender fluid, honestly , he gender fluid, honestly, he wasnt trendy 40 years ago when he was writing this letter. No, its not. Its 40 years ago. And the fact that hes saying that in his mind, hes making to love men, i find thats really unusual. So i dont know whether there is something in this because like you beth, he was heavily you said, beth, he was heavily involved trans involved with pushing the trans lgbtq agenda. You know , to lgbtq agenda. And, you know, to think that michelle, this whole gender identity crisis, you know , on social media with with Michelle Obama , maybe was Michelle Obama, maybe she was the leaked the letter. The one that leaked the letter. President s she was american president s have with this have some problem with this because you remember americas worst ever president , peanut carter, jemmy carter, sorry , carter, jemmy carter, sorry, peanut farmer. Jemmy carter once gave an interview to Playboy Magazine saying, i have never strayed from my marriage, but i have lust in my heart for other women. Doddie weir or, you know, women. Doddie weir or, you know, hed gone off his rocker as well. I dont know whether it happens to president s when they enter the white house. Yeah, its extraordinary. Enter the white house. Yeah, its she extraordinary. Enter the white house. Yeah, its she she aordinary. Enter the white house. Yeah, its she she hadinary. Enter the white house. Yeah, its she she had published these she she had published these letters before, but shed redacted redacted sections of them. But shes now them. Yeah, but shes now actually made it made them public. And he went on to say my mind is androgynous to a great extent and i hope to make it more so until i can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men. And so much of where we are culturally can be traced back to barack obama. Yeah. So bizarre because, you know, were at a stage where were trying to fight the fact that we have genders and those genders look different and we want private personal spaces. And you spaces. And then you have this happening background. Happening in the background. Change of gear yeah. Okay. A change of gear now lets move to the front page of the Daily Telegraph, a subject know close to your subject i know close to your heart. Yes, bev. Children ignored covid inquiry. Ignored by the covid inquiry. Whats the story this . Whats the story on this . Made front page . Yeah. Whats the story on this . Iiade front page . Yeah. Whats the story on this . I mean, front page . Yeah. Whats the story on this . I mean, to ront page . Yeah. Whats the story on this . I mean, to bet page . Yeah. Whats the story on this . I mean, to be honest,yeah. Whats the story on this . I mean, to be honest, this. Whats the story on this . I mean, to be honest, this is a scandal , i mean, to be honest, this is a scandal, isnt it . Because baroness hallett is in charge of the. Shes chairman of the covid inquiry okay. And basically , inquiry okay. And basically, what, two charities and charities arent normally , you charities arent normally, you know, known to be, you know, seeking all the answers, although they dont accord with the way they think. But two charities, save the children uk and nspcc are among the groups that have come together to write to baroness hallett because theyre worried that people under 18 are not being able to give their views on how badly lockdown affected them. And we lockdown affected them. And we all know the people most badly affected by lockdown were children under the age of 18. But what makes school so this is an astonishing revelation. I find it absolutely outrageous. And people are now writing to baroness hallett and say these children must not be ignored. Children on are not an afterthought or an inconvenience to this inquiry process. Their lives were turned upside down. But give me a break, because where was save the children and where was save the children and where were the nspcc . Bushra nowhere. During lockdowns, when everyone was shouting for schools to be closed and to roll out untested drugs to children. Where were they then . They were they were absolutely silent. And ive got three children, so i know how much lockdown impacted them. But you one of those you know, im one of those parents. Sure they parents. I made sure that they were okay i was speaking to were okay and i was speaking to them you said, im them and like you said, im really surprised its on the front page because why was it that all of this was that when all of this was happening, nobody was saying that when all of this was hap|is1ing, nobody was saying that when all of this was hap|is goingiobody was saying that when all of this was hap|is going to ody was saying that when all of this was hap|is going to impact saying that when all of this was hap|is going to impact kids ng this is going to impact kids down the there are down the line . There are children there have children out there that have speech speech speech delays like speech delays. To delays. Theyre not able to compute information the that compute information the way that they behind the they can. They so behind the education , its awful. Education system, its awful. Criminal. And actually , its criminal. And actually, they even children they werent even children werent the terms of werent in the terms of reference for inquiry reference for this inquiry except for them. And except for us for them. And Molly Kingsley fought for it. Know its to going and we all know its to going go for because as were go on for years because as were sitting now, theres sitting here now, theres a debate on a level debate going on about a level grades, which again, is an effect children being at effect of children being at school, not getting proper lessons having the grades. Lessons and having the grades. On the one hand and, you know, no, no, thank the lord. Were talking about and the were talking about this and the thank on the front thank the lord is on the front page. On the other hand is this charities playing kind of revisionism . Yes. Are they revisionism . Yes. Are they trying of launder their trying to kind of launder their karma . Theyre trying karma . You know, theyre trying to speaking out now to to theyre speaking out now to try do away with their try and do away with their silence at the time. I think they are. But i think theres an unintended consequence, because although that may be the reason the charities have got involved, the bigger impact People Like Us bigger impact is People Like Us are all outraged that, you know, this is happening and that children who were the biggest victims of lockdown are not being spoken to and their voices are not being heard. So yes, you may be right. The reasons for the charities getting involved, but the consequence of it is its going to get a lot, lot bigger now. And the bigger audience now. And the children should be talked to. Children should be talked to. Yeah, absolutely. Still 100,000 and there are still 100,000 children missing from full time education because of lockdowns and some of the and they are some of the neediest and most disadvantaged kids yeah, no, kids in the country. Yeah, no, its absolutely extraordinary. We, uh, we dont we dont um, we, uh, we dont we dont want to go on to another story. Were not going. Weve got this. The stories are so good today, i dont want to waste them without having a time. And our commentators are so fabulous as well. Absolutely. Okay, we have to move on. Move on. You. Yes. Okay. You. You. Yes. Okay. To our next story. Thanks, guys. You next hour. Guys. See you in the next hour. Okay.

The government is under pressure to explain why there were delays in the removing migrants from the bibby stockholm traces of stockholm after traces of legionella discovered. Legionella were discovered. Dorset council says home Office Contractors were told about the bacteria on the day Asylum Seekers boarded the barge. All 39 people were removed from the vessel on friday, at least three days after concerns were raised. Shadow Northern Ireland secretary peter kyle says the government is focusing on the wrong thing. Wrong thing. If there is a barge which is being brought to our country and is so rusty that it needed work done on it to make it safe, worthy to travel across the channel worthy to travel across the channel, then is it safe for human habitation . Have the tests been done . Ministers wont even asking because they were so busy trying to create a row in public that they thought would be politically advantageous for them. If you focus on headlines rather than focusing on solutions , will always come solutions, it will always come back bite you. And that is back to bite you. And that is the story of this government. Government is set to the government is set to announce new plans to ensure cancer is caught earlier before its targets will be scrapped and replaced with a new, faster diagnosis standard, which will see patients whove been urgently referred receiving a diagnosis within 28 days. Patient with cancer will then start treatment within nine weeks from the date of referral. While the nhs says the proposals will help diagnose more cancers earlier and save more cancers earlier and save more lives , it comes as junior more lives, it comes as Junior Doctors in england continue their four day strike. Its estimated a million procedures and appointments will be cancelled and rearranged due to the action. The walkout started on friday and ends at 7 am. Tomorrow. Its the fifth round of strikes by british medical Association Members since march over a pay dispute. Wheel chair over a pay dispute. Wheel chair of the bma east midlands Junior Doctors committee , jamshid khan, doctors committee, jamshid khan, says the government should pay Junior Doctors fairly if it wants waiting lists to go down. The government has refused to come to the negotiating table so weve got a very clear demand which is we want to be paid a bit more than £14 an hour. So to restore our pay back to the levels it was in 2008 would be to bring our pay up from £14 now to bring our pay up from £14 now to £19. Now the government is unwilling to invest in the staff where people are going to where the people are going to bnng where the people are going to bring down the waiting list. And if not paying us, it if theyre not paying us, it just means that services , just means that the services, you know, going to get worse to people are still in a serious condition after a car crashed into a campsite in pembrokeshire. Nine people were hurt when the vehicle flipped and rolled ploughing into them at the newgale site on saturday night. One of those critically injured was airlifted to hospital. A child and baby were in a tent that was hit, but escaped serious injury. The number of People Killed in the hawaii wildfires has now reached 93.

Messages encouraging smokers to quit could be added to the inside of cigarette packets. Inside of cigarette packets.

This is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker. By radio and on your Smart Speaker. By simply saying play gb news. Now its back to martin and beth i now a top story today is of course, the ongoing migrant crisis. We know how well the crisis. We know how well the government are doing with it, but how would the Labour Party Tackle it . Well, over the weekend. Shadow immigration minister stephen we will Stephen Kinnock said we will negotiate new returns negotiate a new returns agreements with the European Union so Graham Stringer, mp, labour mp , sits on the Foreign Labour mp, sits on the Foreign Affairs select committee. Morning, graham. Good to good morning, graham. Good to see you. Course, when you see you. Of course, when you hear stephen Stephen Kinnock talking like that, we will negotiate a new returns agreement with the it sounds agreement with the eu. It sounds like stepping back into the eu by small incremental movements in that direction, which will worry a lot of people. Worry a lot of people. It would worry me if that was the case. The fact that we are close to the European Union means we should look for Good Relationships with them without being controlled by them. Without them deciding our laws. The reason i campaigned to leave the eu was quite simply because i think the people of the United Kingdom should be responsible for their own laws via elections to parliament, not having those laws imposed by the european bureaucracy and structures. So bureaucracy and structures. So being close to the European Union, we need good relations with them. And in that sense , with them. And in that sense, Stephen Kinnock is right, although i think he is showing a great deal of optimism because when we were in the eu and there was the Dublin Convention which said that people could be sent back to the first safe country, they went to, there were very few people that were actually sent back. Well graham, its great to hear that you campaigned for the will of the people on brexit, but your leader, keir starmer, didnt. In fact, for years he in fact, for three years he tried cancel brexit and tried to cancel brexit and Stephen Kinnocks cosying up to the eu will alarm bells the eu will sound alarm bells out. Not just your out. Its not just him. Your your shadow secretary your shadow foreign secretary david lammy his number one david lammy said his number one priority will be a closer deal with the European Union should labour get into on labour get into power on defence, on education and or on trade and another alarming thing that came out of mr kinnocks reports was he said that ensure genuine refugees can contribute to britain. Im assuming that means work visas. I put that to your shadow Education Minister yesterday and she said yes, labour would for be that. So surely closer alignment with the eu and more and more cheap laboun eu and more and more cheap labour. This feels like a return to a rejoin keir starmer said the decision has been made. Were out of the European Union, were responsible for our own laws negotiating in relationships with the eu is quite different from that. I accept that. What you say that there is a history of some people with in the labour party after the decision in 2016 to leave the eu. Some people, and leave the eu. Some people, and i think they were quite wrong to do this, wanted a second referendum and wanted a pathway back into the eu. That is back into the eu. That is history. Now the labour partys policy is clear for were not going to apply to rejoin, were staying outside. But obviously we want a Good Relationship with them and certainly we do not want to be part of any European Army that would lead to a to centre control. Within europe of centre control. Within europe of nato and the European Union. So i think i understand why youre worried. I keep a careful eye on worried. I keep a careful eye on it. But the Labour Party Policy is clear on that. Can i ask you, graham, about this memo thats leaked today thats in the papers coming from the government saying that they think that the problem of illegal migration be in illegal migration will be in existence in this country for at least five years. And they also say that the bibby stockholm boat wont provide value for money if there are only 500 people on it as planned. It people on it as planned. It would only be economically Success Story if they can house a thousand migrants on that particular boat. Do you think we need to see more transparent about the amounts that were spending on housing immigrants and whether our adventures like ventures like the bibby stockholm are actually beneficial in terms of the finances of this , or whether finances of this, or whether its just a token gesture that makes the front pages of all the papers. Papers. I think theres no doubt, as peter kyle said earlier in your news bulletin, the government have been keen to draw dividing lines with the labour party and chase headlines and they have been to deal with the problem that weve got. I think theres two ways of looking at this. The two ways of looking at this. The way the government have dealt with people coming to this country seeking Refugee Status has been very inefficient. The way. Loops are, we losing them . Way. Loops are, we losing them . I think weve lost graeme. I think weve lost graeme. We lost him. Okay. I was going to ask him about the deal we have with france and were joined by olivia utley. We can talk to olivia about it in a moment. I want to know if this dealis moment. I want to know if this deal is worth continuing with. Were spending half £1 billion on france. On this deal with france. Olivia, lets cut to you straight away. Well try and retain there. Retain connection there. Were spending billion a spending half £1 billion on a deal france. Its emerged deal with france. Its emerged today that french lifeboats took three times longer to get to the scene the disaster. Three times longer to get to the scene the disaster. Only three times longer to get to the scene the disaster. Only four scene of the disaster. Only four miles off the coast of france , miles off the coast of france, where six people sadly died. 20 of the cops patrolling beaches are on holiday at a time when its the peak departure time. Lawlessness in the camps, gunfire to warships escorting dinghies out of french waters and parading them back to britain. Is and parading them back to britain. Is this £500 million a year worth it, or is it time to scrap that deal . Well, its a very interesting question. And this, of course, isnt the first time that britain has shelled out a huge amount of money to try and prop up the French Police when theyre patrolling the borders. This is the first time that the deal that rishi agreed earlier that rishi sunak agreed earlier this is the first time that this year is the first time that British Police officers have been stationed france. But been stationed in france. But theyre only allowed to observe whats going on. Theyre not actually allowed to intervene. And the real problem is that the French Police have a policy of not intervening, not intercepting a boat once its actually set sail. The worry is that they could accidentally endanger lives by intercepting once the boats set sail. But because of that, the French Police have a really , really police have a really, really small amount of time to try and get hold of these boats before they go in the sea. A couple of minutes. Its exactly its a sort of 50 mile if you can just picture it, 50 mile stretch of coast. Very dark sand dunes everywhere. Migrants sort of hiding behind these lots of nooks and crannies for people to hide. And then a couple of hide. And then a couple of minutes between leaving those sand dunes and getting out onto the sea where the French Police have a moment to intercept and all often, obviously, that all too often, obviously, that moment is missed. So youve got tory now saying, well, the tory mps now saying, well, the french just need to change that policy intercepting boats policy of intercepting boats once the because once theyre in the sea, because it for these boats it does seem mad for these boats to be patrolling, to be to be sort of patrolling, to be to be sort of patrolling, to be to monitoring these migrant to be monitoring these migrant ships in the sea when theyre in trouble. Olivia, i think weve got graham back. Graham stringer i think revived think weve revived your question. There you are. Can question. There you are. Can i just ask you briefly, one of our contributors earlier, um, immigration lawyer ivan sampson , was saying that there should be means by which people who be a means by which people who want to live in this country should be able to apply by onune should be able to apply by online have to get here online and not have to get here in order to apply for asylum, which is the current situation. Which is the current situation. Ian, would that be some way towards a solution for you. Towards a solution for you. It would help certainly the people who are paying being International Criminals , a lot International Criminals, a lot of money to cross the channel, to come to this country are putting themselves and sometimes children at risk. Putting themselves and sometimes children at risk. And that Needs Children at risk. And that needs stopping. I think there are stopping. I think there are there are two sides to the problem. One is we need a better and more effective system of deaung and more effective system of dealing with people seeking asylum. The waiting lists have grown and secondly, i think the 1951 Convention Tension on refugees really needs increasing. Well, it needs changing because because the world has changed dramatically. The changed dramatically. The Refugee Convention has saved many lives over the 70 or so years that its been there , but years that its been there, but it is now in appropriate. People are picking and choosing which country they go to. People coming from france are coming from a safe country. Theyre from a safe country. Theyre coming to this country. From a safe country. Theyre coming to this country. Theyre coming to this country. Theyre choosing to come here and put themselves and sometimes children at risk. And theyre Financing International criminal city. So we have to have something that deals with that problem as well as a more efficient local system. Graham therell be a great many people listening to this quite concerned about labours direction of travel here. Firstly, if your immigration minister wants make it easier minister wants to make it easier for Asylum Seekers to get a work visa , we know about 75 of visa, we know about 75 of people who apply, they get asylum. So thats a lot of people that will want to come to britain because theyll be legally allowed to without legally allowed to work without even they or even knowing who they are or where from. And where theyve come from. And secondly, able to apply secondly, to be able to apply for asylum even being in for asylum without even being in the country. Surely both of those policies mean that the pull would be pull factor to britain would be immense and the numbers of asylum would increase under a Labour Government . Labour government . Well, i think one of the changes that needs to take place is theres clearly a limited a limited capacity in this country. The convention on refugees doesnt recognise any capacity issues when it was set up in 1951, that was simply not an issue. I 1951, that was simply not an issue. I think its very important to keep people who want to come to this country to work and can apply for work visas separate from the asylum system. I have written to constituents and stated publicly that people who are applying for asylum should not be allowed to work because that mixes the two systems up. It undermines the refugee system and it undermines the system of work visas. That would be wrong to do that. Of course , if people become course, if people become refugees, then they they have the right to work. Thats always been the case in terms of. Well, ive answered the first point about increased numbers. I think about increased numbers. I think we simply have to have a limit on the number of refugees that we can take. And it shouldnt be a pick and mix system for people coming to this country because they fancy this country. Let me tell you 1 1 thing. It takes a lot of effort and time to process refugees. Some of them are genuine. And i think we have to say very bluntly, some of them arent genuine. Ive talked to my local chief superintendent who said some of the people whove crossed the channel particularly from albania , go particularly from albania, go straight into one of the hotspots of crime in my constituency , where there are constituency, where there are facsimile goods on on sale, the police are trying to clear that up. And police are trying to clear that up. And as they clear it up, theyve had more people whove been pretending to be Asylum Seekers coming in and joining those criminals. Its a complicated situation and we have to be very clear that we protect our own borders while being fair to people who have a genuine claim for Refugee Status without accepting that there is infinite capacity in this country for the health service, for housing and for other services. Services. Liz okay. Thank you so much. Liz okay. Thank you so much. Thats so interesting. Graham stringer their mp gives me so much to think about when i when ihear much to think about when i when i hear somebody like that, you know, laying it out like that. I think it is complicated. I was chatting to my uber driver the other day, as you do, and i always do because i always want to know where from, to know where theyre from, whats journey, do whats their journey, how do they get here. I think its really illuminating often. And he born. Father he was afghan born. His father was by the taliban and was tortured by the taliban and came ten years ago. Was came over ten years ago. Was really he gave me some really tortured. He gave me some details wont repeat them on details i wont repeat them on morning tv and came over ten years by a human years ago by a human traffickers. I why traffickers. And i said, why didnt he stay france . And he didnt he stay in france . And he said, fundamentally , we want to said, fundamentally, we want to go to an English Speaking country. We speak english. We dont want french, we dont speak french. We want to work. And couldnt work if he and he couldnt work if he didnt have the language. And then he he waited ten years then he said he waited ten years before sorry. Know, he before his sorry. You know, he he he came over longer than he was he came over longer than 20 but ten years until 20 years, but ten years until his children joined him. And i said, why didnt women and said, why didnt the women and children, why do we always see men . The journey is men . And he said, the journey is too cant. He too dangerous. We cant. He said, was three, four, you said, i was three, four, you know, my siblings were five and six. Couldnt come over. Six. We couldnt have come over. And didnt to come and he didnt want us to come over illegally. Said he over illegally. He said he wanted we were going to wanted that if we were going to come over, we would come over legally he said, work as a legally and he said, i work as a buildings make buildings regulator. I make £60,000 work as an £60,000 a year and i work as an uber driver on the side. And ive had three children of my own here. It just pulls into relief, though, is our duty as a nation to anybody who to house anybody who wants a better life across world and better life across the world and i personally dont think that thats the case. Graham stringer there speaking there i thought speaking a lot of common bringing you of common sense, bringing you back lee but he back in, olivia lee but he again, he talking odds again, he was talking at odds with his own immigration minister. He was talking odds minister. He was talking at odds with shadow education with his own shadow Education Minister. He said, im against work visas. But the shadow immigration minister seems to be going in that direction as travel. You can understand travel. So you can understand that the voters are very confused about labours offering when it seems so kind all when it seems so kind of all over the yeah it doesnt over the shop. Yeah it doesnt feel though a huge feel as though theres a huge amount on labours amount of clarity on labours immigration policy. Sort of crux of labours the sort of crux of labours immigration policy appears to be keir starmer saying that he will solve the problem upstream as he puts it, and agree a deal with both the french and the European Union. Graham stringer union. Well, as Graham Stringer pointed there, when pointed out, there, even when the convention was in the Dublin Convention was in place, the Dublin Convention was an which we were an eu convention, which we were part of when were in the eu. Part of when we were in the eu. And it stated if a migrant and it stated that if a migrant comes once they reach a safe country , they must stay in that country, they must stay in that safe country and not travel any further. But even when the dubun further. But even when the Dublin Convention was in place, yes, we had the same yes, obviously we had the same problem, this migrant crisis has been going since 2015, long before left the eu before we actually left the eu because at the end of the day, eu countries have no incentive to take migrants back from england. Once they get to england, once they reach english shores, why would they . Of course they wont. So its not thats not a Silver Bullet solution all. As for solution at all. And as for agreeing some kind of deal agreeing some kind of a deal with french, weve with the french, well, weve seen try that over seen rishi sunak try that over and again. As weve and over again. As weve discussed, just given them discussed, hes just given them £500 million to try and soften relations. Yes, macron had a very bad relationship with Boris Johnson. Yes, he had a bad johnson. Yes, he had a bad relationship liz truss, but relationship with liz truss, but he has a Good Relationship with rishi sunak things still are rishi sunak and things still are no than they were. Yeah. No better than they were. Yeah. You, olivia. Oh, thank you, olivia. Oh, thank you, olivia. You very much. Thank you very much. Im looking youve been looking at what youve been saying well this morning saying as well this morning about immigration. Says about immigration. China says bravo, europe should bravo, poland, europe should drop schengen put borders back, reinstate Sovereign National passports. This was that was the best filtering system best filtering Security System even best filtering Security System ever. Look where we are. The ever. Now look where we are. The fox owns the henhouse. Ever. Now look where we are. The fox yeah, the henhouse. Ever. Now look where we are. The fox yeah, and1enhouse. Ever. Now look where we are. The fox yeah, and thats,se. Ever. Now look where we are. The fox yeah, and thats, of course, yeah, and thats, of course, the polish Prime Minister has given referendum given his people a referendum against the eus plans to relocate Illegal Immigrants into his country without them having a say so with a very punchy advert has to be said. It was quite fruity. But look, we put it to you all morning. Do you want similar kind of want a similar kind of referendum been referendum here . Its been pointing we had that pointing out what we had that with brexit and ignored that. We got a really interesting nhs story next because its been called billion quid bid. Called the billion quid bid. Its called emis its for a Company Called emis and cleared and its been cleared unexpectedly by the competition watchdog and will affect how unexpectedly by the competition wat Patrick Christys on gb news. Im gb news radio. Gb news radio. Welcome back. Its 1126. Youre with britains newsroom on gb news with andrew pierce. Thats me. Martin daubney and bev turner. Ive transitioned. Bev turner. Ive transitioned. Some of you are asking if andrews all right. He was poorly last week. Hes better now. But this was always due to be his week, so be his holiday week, so hopefully resting up hopefully hes resting up properly. Hes had he was poorly last hes on last week and now hes on holiday, getting holiday, hopefully getting better. Flies better. Yeah, great. It flies by, doesnt it . When you said its 1125, its a its a fast paced show. I love this show. I love this show. Oh well, i do love you being here. I hope youre enjoying it at home. Thank you forjoining us. Home. Thank you for joining us. Now, american of now, the american takeover of emis, Care Software emis, a health Care Software group, has been unexpectedly cleared regulators. Cleared by british regulators. The had the competition watchdog had previously that the £12 previously said that the £12 billion deal with United Health could disadvantage the nhs. , the competition and yeah, the competition and markets authority ruled provisionally the provisionally that the combination would not harm competition or adversely affects patients and their now consult on its findings. So lets find out a bit more from doctor bob gill. Good morning, bob. Good to see you. So just explain to people, if you dont mind , what people, if you dont mind, what this company is, what do they do and how might it affect patients experiences of the nhs . This company emis so this is the biggest provider of electronic patient records for gps , so patient records for gps, so that means more than half the patients in england have their personal data posted by imi. And what United Health is . United health is the biggest private Health Insurer in america. So this is a corporate america. So this is a Corporate Giant and people need to be asking themselves why is a private insurer so keen to pay big money for a gp data system . Big money for a gp data system . And the answer is you cannot get to the root problem. And unless we understand that the nhs has been largely repurposed into a tax funded Corporate Cash cow and handing over control of data like the Competition Commission has, has sort of a rubber stamp , is potentially a big danger in terms of what these companies will do with that data, how they will do with that data, how they will commercialise that data , will commercialise that data, who else will get sight of that data and ultimately how they will commercialise it and sell back products to the nhs and the taxpayer pays through their nose for things that may or may not have any medical value. How interesting. So look , any how interesting. So look, any of us who have any interactions with our gps or with the nhs , we with our gps or with the nhs, we know that the system of Age Department communicating with each other is appalling. If each other is appalling. If i just want to order a repeat prescription online with my gp, it never works. The gp doesnt know what the hospital has said to you. The hospital doesnt know the treatment you have from the gp. The system does need fixing in terms of communication, doesnt it . Bob sure, but i dont think this current deal has got anything to do with fixing communication. What it is all about is grabbing hold of data, which is a huge potential future asset for any big company. A huge potential future asset for any big company. You know, for any big company. You know, data is described as a new oil because it has immense potential future commercial value. The future commercial value. The question should be why . Why is question should be why . Why is the government and the Competition Commission in assisting an asset grab by a Foreign Corporation . This is essentially whats going on and a private Health Insurer. Now the alarm bells should be ringing because United Health, through their subsidiary, optum , is not only grabbing patient data, but its also entrenched in the behind the scenes working of the nhs. And theyre also part of the new restructuring of the nhs, which became law last yean the nhs, which became law last year, which is turning it into 42 Public Private Partnership Legal entities across the country called integrated care systems. So you have an american insurer with a growing dominance within the nhs and lets not forget, theyre only in interest in being involved is to extract profit. Profit. Okay, bob, as well as the issue of profit and selling data, theres also the issue of it being hacked. Weve seen with the Electoral Commission was probed into potentially by overseas affairs, the russians. But i want to ask you about this data as a use of our Health Information is very much the preserve of people like tony blair, the tony blair foundation. Lets get all our medical records onto our phone. Lets turn us all into walking barcodes, our immunisation , our barcodes, our immunisation, our vaccine status, our health records. Do you see this within the nhs . Nhs app as a direction of travel, of turning us all into information and that being used potentially to limit what we can do in the future in some kind of chinese style social Credit System . Yeah youve got a Credit System . Yeah youve got a very, very important point there. You have. I believe, health and Public Health is now being used as a wedge to get the security and, you know, National Surveillance systems underway. Very similar to the chinese system, the social Credit System. There so this may well be a mechanism for further authoritarian control, dressed up as a some sort of health initiative. So our government is initiative. So our government is avoiding democratic oversight. Its ending and doing deals with private companies. So each of private companies. So each of these entities can point the finger at each other. Meanwhile we are losing rights. We are losing protection of our confidential private medical data , which we share in good data, which we share in good faith with our gps. But now we learn this is ending up on systems that are commercially controlled. This is this should controlled. This is this should be really ringing very loud alarm bells amongst the public. It should be. And it isnt, bob. And it should be. And it isnt, bob. And thats why we really appreciate your time to explain it to us this morning. Dr. Bob gill that is why this channel is amazing because this story isnt understood by most of the people who are recording it, who are reporting it, theyre barely reporting it, and theyre barely reporting it, and theyre barely reporting they dont reporting it. They dont understand on. Understand whats going on. Dont forget, was only and dont forget, it was only five ago. The government five minutes ago. The government wants covid wants us all to have covid passports able to fly, to passports to be able to fly, to be able work. If youre in be able to work. If youre in the nhs, you remember Vaccine Mandates able to travel mandates to be able to travel abroad, to be able go to abroad, even to be able to go to the a sporting event. Is the pub or a sporting event. Is this a way in for it . Oh, brilliant. Oh, brilliant. Right . You are lucky to right . You are very lucky to be is britains be here. This is britains newsroom on. Gb news. Oh bev, newsroom on. Gb news. Oh bev, thank you very much. This is the latest from the gb newsroom. The government is under pressure to explain why there were delays in removing migrants from the bibby stockholm after traces of legionella were discovered. Dorset council says home Office Contractors were told about the bacteria on the day Asylum Seekers boarded the barge. All seekers boarded the barge. All 39 people were removed from the vessel on friday. At least three days after concerns were raised. While the labour leader , sir while the labour leader, sir keir starmer, says the governments failing to tackle the issue. I dont think the answer to this is barges is hotels, massive costs £6 million a day airbase. A day airbase. Is that thats the symptom. The problem is that the government hasnt done enough work to break the gangs that are running this trade, this vile trade and to process the applications. And so the applications. And so the government has made a complete and utter mess of this. I mean, small boats week last week was a complete fiasco. We would fix complete fiasco. We would fix the fundamentals , go after the the fundamentals, go after the gangs that are running this and process the claims. So we dont have this problem in the first place. Place. The government is set to announce new plans to ensure cancer is caught. Earlier performance targets will be scrapped and replaced with a new, faster diagnosis standard, which will see patients whove been urgently referred receiving a diagnosis within 28 days. Patients with cancer will then start treatment within nine weeks from the date of referral. All network rail has published a video of dangerous behaviour level crossings.

Welcome back with britains newsroom on gb news. With me, bev turner and Martin Daubney. Now the voice of children has been ignored by the covid inquiry thats according to more than 40 leading charities and experts. In a letter to baroness hallett. Thats right. The charities include save the children and the nspcc , and theyre demanding the nspcc, and theyre demanding an explanation for unaco acceptable delays in examining the impact of the pandemic on young people. Were joined now by dan paskins, director of uk impact at save the children. Good morning, dan. Great to see good morning, dan. Great to see you. I must start by asking you, you. I must start by asking you, you probably heard me before the break. Where were charities like you when lockdowns were happening, when schools were being closed, when great ormond street hospital were reporting an extraordinary increase in head trauma to children who were locked at home with abusive parents. Where were save the children during that period of time . Time . So right from the start of the lockdown, save the children were directly supporting families. So we provide grants to families working with local schools , nurseries and other schools, nurseries and other local charities, and thats to help with things like food, to help with things like food, to help with things like food, to help with learning packs , to help with learning packs, to help with learning packs, to help with learning packs, to help with toys , things for help with toys, things for childrens play. And we were also together with many other charities , saying to the charities, saying to the government throughout the pandemic that it was really important to consider children and their experiences. Now, and their experiences. Now, there are some really tough decisions that the government was making throughout this time, things where people had some really strong opinions where to be honest, theres good arguments sides, but arguments on both sides, but whats important whats really important and unfortunately it didnt happen enough, that the best enough, was that the best interests of children were considered and where there was a decision taken which would have a damaging impact on children that the government thought about, what would about, well, what would need to be in order minimise be done in order to minimise that make things up that or to make things up afterwards. So thats something afterwards. So thats something which we were saying Many Charities were saying sort of all way during the pandemic all the way during the pandemic. Important that. But its really important that that continues to be the case because its like this has because its not like this has gone away. You more and more but were you more and more challenges that children are experiencing now . Dan but dan, i but but, dan but dan, can i just ask were you amongst just ask you, were you amongst some from all sectors some people from all sectors spent a spectrum of outlets across the country, be that media or doctors or teachers or charities who were frightened to question the government narrative at the time , who narrative at the time, who werent looking at the risk to children of covid, which was statistically zero, and making more noise to change government policy to get them to wake up to the damage that was going to be caused for decades. Caused for decades. I mean, i dont think we were wed ever be sort of scared to speak up about whats best for children is, you know, thats vital for what we do. You know, throughout, as i say, you know, we both directly, but also amplifying, know, the amplifying, you know, the excellent work that was done by others, sort parents others, by sort of parents groups, by, you know, by the charities, by everyone who was looking at whats best for children. As say, i mean, children. But as i say, i mean, you know, some some of these were difficult decisions where almost whichever whatever decision was taken would cause some difficulty. So its about its doing whats right some difficulty. So its about its sort doing whats right some difficulty. So its about its sort of oing whats right some difficulty. So its about its sort of thinking ts right some difficulty. So its about its sort of thinking about1t and sort of thinking about matters for children. According to according to companies the Companies House save the children got £65 million of government grants in 2020 during lockdowns. Did that make it hard lockdowns. Did that make it hard for you to push back on government policy when there was one direction of travel with that narrative . No, there was. There was never any sort of question that we wouldnt sort of speak up for children because of funding and thats for save the Childrens International work. Is international work. So this is particularly, you know, talking about children the uk about sort of children in the uk , we wouldnt wouldnt stop , we wouldnt we wouldnt stop speaking the speaking up for children in the uk were so sort of uk because were all so sort of helping children all around the world. Okay, well, lets it world. Okay, well, lets move it on to i appreciate you to now. I appreciate you clarifying covid clarifying that. The covid inquiry moment, baroness inquiry at the moment, baroness hallett job of coming hallett has this job of coming to a conclusion. It will take to a conclusion. It will take years. It has so far cost us, i think, £40 million to date. And think, £40 million to date. And were barely started on this inquiry at the moment. Children werent included in the terms of reference at all in the beginning and actually a very new charity asked for them with Molly Kingsley, a campaigning group. They were the people who got put on that terms got children, put on that terms of reference in the first place. So what are you calling for now and is it taking you so long . Well, so we were we worked together with us for them and together with us for them and together with us for them and together with the great work of molly and her colleagues. So to make that case, first of all, that children should be considered the inquiry considered in the inquiry because say, its fairly because as you say, its fairly extraordinary original extraordinary that the original terms thinking terms of reference, thinking about covid didnt about the impact of covid didnt even children all. About the impact of covid didnt everthats children all. About the impact of covid didnt everthats kind hildren all. About the impact of covid didnt everthats kind ofdren all. About the impact of covid didnt everthats kind of part all. About the impact of covid didnt everthats kind of part of all. About the impact of covid didnt everthats kind of part of what and thats kind of part of what the problem is. We are now part of inquiry and at every of the inquiry and at every single of the inquiry, single hearing of the inquiry, we have said that , you know, we have said that, you know, that there needs to be ways of listening to children and every time you know, baroness time and, you know, baroness hallett inquiry got a really tough she said hallett inquiry got a really tougits she said hallett inquiry got a really tougits really she said hallett inquiry got a really tougits really important said hallett inquiry got a really tougits really important to id that its really important to her, really important to her personally to listen to children. Unfortunately, personally to listen to chilbeen unfortunately, personally to listen to chilbeen uron tunately, personally to listen to chilbeen uron quitezly, personally to listen to chilbeen uron quite a, personally to listen to chilbeen uron quite a long its been going on quite a long time now, you and were time now, as you say, and were still seeing the sort of still not seeing the sort of seriousness and the urgency really, obviously , you really, because obviously, you know, childrens memories fade and of thing. More and that sort of thing. So more needs to done to really needs to be done to really listen children about their listen to children about their experiences that experiences and learn from that for okay for the future. Okay specifically in this dan, specifically in this report, there have been no personal testimonies, have there, from children the chance to have their say about how lockdown has impacted them . How are you gathering that information and what kind of things do you expect the children will be saying . Children will be saying . Well, so at the moment, the inquiry has got a campaign called every story matters, and it says they want to hear about everyones experience is and then you read the small print and only if youre over and it says only if youre over 18. You know, we 18. And we think you know, we think that sends entirely the wrong message. Your story only matters over 18. Now matters if youre over 18. Now now is more complicated to now it is more complicated to sort of about how to sort of think about how to listen to children. Obviously you know, children you know, some children had a really we dont want really tough time. We dont want them that them to have to relive that without right kind of without the right kind of support. Something which support. So its something which does does need does you know, there does need to about how to make to be thought about how to make sure you hear from all sure you can hear from all children of all ages. But theres plenty of ways of doing it. Were saying that the it. So were saying that the inquiry ought sort inquiry ought to work with sort of experts are really good of experts who are really good at different ways listening at different ways of listening to can sure they to children, can make sure they can the right can have the right kind of supports that need, but not supports that they need, but not just for the sake of it, just do it for the sake of it, but to actually make a commitment that what theyre heanng hearing from children directly feeds investigations hearing from children directly feed the investigations hearing from children directly feed the irisestigations hearing from children directly feed the iris making 1s hearing from children directly feed the iris making and that the inquiry is making and the recommendations comes the recommendations as it comes up with it should be parents, dan, as children. Dan, as much as children. Ask my young if you ask my young teenagers, what think of teenagers, what do they think of lockdowns, will tell you lockdowns, they will tell you they they have they loved it. They didnt have to go to school. They had a great time. They watched too much telly, they ate too much rubbish it the rubbish at home. It was the parents. Understand the parents. So we understand the impact on education. We impact on their education. We are that can their are the ones that can see their tech addiction. We are the ones that can see they all got a bit fat they all got a bit unfit fat and they all got a bit unfit dunng fat and they all got a bit unfit during because the during lockdowns because all the sports closed. Sports facilities closed. We need parents in this need parents testimony in this inquiry, we certainly do. And, you know, hearing from parents is really is really important. Know, therell be important. You know, therell be all different all kinds of different experiences parents experiences that that parents had. Think like had. But i think also like children had a really wide range of experience. Some had of experience. Some had a brilliant a brilliant time, some had a really not very time. And actually the older teens was experience. Yeah yeah. And actually the older teens waswell, experience. Yeah yeah. And actually the older teens waswell, experierwe yeah yeah.

And we must remember, of my misses of course, my misses the teacher. Didnt have a of course, my misses the teacher. Didnt have a break. She she didnt have a break. She worked lockdowns worked throughout lockdowns with some disadvantaged some of the most disadvantaged kids, whom never even kids, many of whom never even returned school. Were so returned to school. They were so traumatised and behind by traumatised and left behind by lockdowns life. Their lockdowns and their life. Their life been wrecked life chances have been wrecked irreparably by lockdown. So im glad theyre finally speaking out. That guy might out. Bev i think that guy might need an ambulance after that, but there we go. I think its fair to hold people to account. We need to hold them to account. Theres too many questions still unanswered. Right our papers panel will be here in just of all, just a moment. But first of all, i to have a listen to what i want to have a listen to what labour leader sir keir starmer has been saying. Was speaking has been saying. He was speaking in the last few minutes in just the last few minutes about the migration in about the migration crisis in edinburgh. Is. Edinburgh. Here he is. Everybodys got to i think everybodys got to face to the that the face up to the fact that the government broken the asylum government has broken the asylum system dont to use system and i dont want to use barges, hotels, air bases because do not think thats because i do not think thats the way we fix the problem. Now. It may be that were going to inherit situation inherit a very bad situation just on the economy just as we are on the economy and on health. But fundamentally , you cant get through this by more barge as you get through this tackling the criminal this by tackling the criminal gangs are running this gangs that are running this terrible and by processing terrible trade and by processing the applications. And i think anybody watching this would be pretty shocked to learn that of all the people who arrive by small boats in the last year or so, the government has only processed of their processed 1 of their applications. And thats the applications. And thats the root problem. Government failure i okay. That was keir starmer shortly ago talking about how to quash the immigration crisis. Do we believe him . Well, lets go to mike parry, ambusher. Mike, lets go to you first. Starmer to talking wearing the coat at least of i was listening to the shadow immigration secretary all over the weekend. Im sorry, i cant remember her name because it was inconsequential. Stephen kinnock yes, it wasnt. Im sorry. It was , it was a lady politician was, it was a lady politician who was out yesterday. All she kept repeating was smash the criminal gangs. Kept repeating was smash the criminal gangs. But there was criminal gangs. But there was never up question. As never a follow up question. As to, are you going to to, sorry, how are you going to smash the criminal gangs . Its smash the criminal gangs . Its now worlds biggest industry now the worlds biggest industry. See people smuggling around the world, across the mediterranean, across the channel mediterranean, across the channel, from mexico to america. Its a Massive International industry. Its a Massive International industry. Its got its a Massive International industry. Its got massive industry. Its got massive resources. Its got armies of resources. Its got armies of people equipped with guns to enforce what they do. So just, you know, blithely mouthing, were going to smash the gangs. It needs to be an international effort, cooperation between countries and lots of muscle. Its the easiest thing in the world on a day like today, isnt it . Bushra fixed armour to come out and say the government arent making this work whilst offering zero tangible, practical . Practical solutions . Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, thats classic hairstyle for you. I mean, hes not wrong in some of the things. Im not going to say that hes entirely it is entirely wrong because it is about the processing systems. 1 is not enough. We should be processing there processing more of them. There is that. Are is an issue with that. How are we going tackle that . Get we going to tackle that . Get more into the workforce more people into the workforce to make sure that these processing centres can happen . To make sure that these prisessing centres can happen . To make sure that these prises culmination can happen . To make sure that these prises culmination ca|things. N . It is a culmination of things. Mike but it is. But its not just a criminal gang. It is. It is. But whilst lots of different more and more people are coming, the going to grow. The queues are going to grow. Can you imagine keir and can you imagine if keir starmer suddenly over there starmer suddenly went over there and faced up to some of these people smugglers and on people smugglers and said, oh look, keir starmer and look, my names keir starmer and i in, im telling you, im i get in, im telling you, im going sort you out. I mean, going to sort you out. I mean, its laughable. These are International Gangsters who put people in boats at gunpoint, you know. But it is government failure. Its the tories failing on the asylum and what is mr starmer . And theyve proven it for how many years that theyve been here . Whats not been able to tackle it . Whats a storm offered as an alternative . Very little. Nothing very little. Nothing one single idea. Not one single idea. Not one single idea. Lets on. Lets move on. Stories today wanted stories today we wanted to do. Do bushra about scout do. Can we do bushra about scout leader outraging parents with leader is outraging parents with a woke style guide. What do we have at the moment . Weve got beavers right . Beavers right . Cant bear beaver. Cant bear beaver. We have cubs. Cant bear beaver. We have cubs. Yep, we have we have cubs. Yep, we have scouts and we have girl guides. Stop it. Martin daubney. But apparently we cant say girl guides anymore. Guides anymore. No, no, we cant. We cant say girl guides. Its like people guides or they them guides. And its becoming so ridiculous, i think. And its not even happening today. I actually remember covering similar story about a couple of years and thought it was years ago and i thought it was ludicrous. I like, girl ludicrous. Then i was like, girl guides existed for years. Guides has existed for years. Just it alone. Just leave it alone. And its fair to that the and its fair to say that the actual boy scouts was banned actual so boy scouts was banned because scouts to anyone because scouts is open to anyone and guides is only girls. And girl guides is only girls. But some those girls can have but some of those girls can have male they cant. Male privates. No, they cant. They can. Thats thats actually their policy. And you can be their policy. And you can be a trans woman, trans, trans girl. You can be a trans girl and be a girl guide. But youre not allowed to be youre not allowed to be a boy. Wasnt the boy scouts and the girl guides the last boy bastion of respectability in all our communities . You know what i mean . Last place that mean . The very last place that the merchants could get to. The woke merchants could get to. Because even young as they were girl guides and boy were girl guides and boy scouts were dip, dip. And, you know, dip, dip, dip. And, you know, the solid rock of our communities. Yeah well, they introduced beavers because that was gender neutral, right . Thats why they had the Younger Group for , for children Younger Group for, for children that were. So the old boys and that were. So the old boys and girls could do that together. Yeah. I just dont see why they cant just have an independent one of their own and call it trans guide or something. Well, it shouldnt be that many children are confused many children who are confused about gender. About their gender. Theres a statue in Poole Harbour of baden powell, the man who founded the Scout Movement out on brownsea island. On brownsea island. I mean, im surprised the statue hasnt melted with shock and indignation at what the scouts and the girl guides are being subject to in terms of political pressure and it should be the very last place where politics should get involved in terms of the detail. Theyre getting rid of. Post man. Of course, postal workers as humankind is now replacing mankind. As humankind is now replacing mankind. Its as humankind is now replacing mankind. Its the usual stuff. Mankind. Its the usual stuff. Its usual guff , the usual. Its the usual guff, the usual. Thats enough for today, im afraid, guys.
