Hundreds of lawyers have signed an open letter urging rishi sunak to change his position, saying the uk needs to follow international law. Shadow environment secretary steve reed justified why labours not calling for a ceasefire pause allows the aid to go in without stopping israel taking action to disable the terrorists who attack them in the first place. A ceasefire would stop israel from doing that and would lead the terrorist capability intact. If theyre left with the same capability , i. E. With the bombs, capability, i. E. With the bombs, with the weapons holding. Remember, over 200 hostages, then they will go back into israel and they will do this again. That is not keeping people safe and its not actually keeping people in gaza safe either, because further attacks on israel provoke attacks on israel will provoke further retaliation in israel. Defence forces says hamas is exploiting innocent gazans using civilians as human shields. Its civilians as human shields. Its after the group said israels bombing of the territory has killed 50 hostages. Meanwhile, the Israeli Military confirmed another 250 airstrikes were carried out over the past 24 hours, targeting hamas. The number of hostages being held by the terrorists stands at 229. Hamas says it cant and wont release them until a ceasefire is agreed. Earlier, rockets were is agreed.

The met police says there have been more than 400 anti semitic attacks and more than 170 islamophobic attacks over the last week in london, the force arrested 75 people in connection with the israel Hamas Conflict there are also ten active investigations linked to internet related breaches of the terrorism.

International security and Border Control expert henry bolton says theres no real plan to resolve the issue. To resolve the issue. If you are not processing correctly , you are going fast correctly, you are going fast enough. If you havent put the resources into it, if you havent trained your staff adequately, which is the case, then are going to have then you are going to have a problem in terms of accommodation. And so then you end up additional taxpayer end up with additional taxpayer costs there. You know, it is it is mind bogglingly incompr stint of the home office to have put it together like this. There is no plan. Meanwhile the education no plan. Meanwhile the education secretary, Gillian Keegan says a serious effort is being made to address the problem. Address the problem. We have got tough on immigration, we where the people who have introduced new legislation because obviously you have to have the law behind you. Weve also obviously had the rwanda policy, which is still in the courts, but that is part of the policy. And weve also got returns agreements now with a number of countries and a new agreement with france as well. Were also looking at well. Were also looking at alternatives to hotels to bring that bill down to the taxpayer. So we are the ones taking all of the actions.

To inflict on you for decades. We are the peoples channel. We know what the people want. We know what the people want. We know what the people want. We know what you want and we know who you want.

Im excited to say that im shortly going to be joining you on gb news and im going to be giving this remarkable new tv channel my unvarnished views on everything from russia, china, the war in ukraine, how we meet all those challenges to the huge opportunity that lie ahead for us. Us. Why . I think our best days are yet to come and why, on the whole, the people of the world want to see more Global Britain , want to see more Global Britain, not less. So join me on gb news for some Great British television. Television. Thats right. We television. Thats right. We got television. Thats right. We got boris done the man who smashed the red wall, the man who won a stonking majority and the man who many people think fell victim to the greatest stitch up since the bayeux tapestry. Hes the man that every other news channel wanted, but hes chosen to come to gb news. Mr speaker , it is not too mr speaker, it is not too late to save brexit. Therefore, i give notice that bofis therefore, i give notice that Boris Johnson is elected as the leader of the conservative and unionist party. Well , my friends. Good well, my friends. Good morning, everybody. My friends. Well, we did it. We did it. Well, we did it. We did it. I say respectfully to our stentorian friend in the blue 12 star hat. Star hat. Thats it. Star hat. Thats it. Time to put a sock in the megaphone on tonight. We are leaving the European Union. Are leaving the European Union. The most important thing to say tonight is that this is not an end , but a beginning. This is end, but a beginning. This is the moment when the dawn breaks and the curtain goes up on a new act in our Great National drama. Act in our Great National drama. We must therefore go into a National Lockdown, which is tough enough to contain this variant. That means the government is once again instructing you to stay at home. The last place youd want the Prime Minister to be at a time of National Crisis. Of National Crisis. For Boris Johnson, this now a deeply personal crisis to his coronavirus. Symptoms worsen. Coronavirus. Symptoms worsen. And tonight he was moved into the intensive care unit. The intensive care unit. But that was not a party. But that was not a party. I was there too. I was there too. I was there too. I havent said it was a party. Mrjohnson well, i havent said it was a party. Mr johnson well, you did actually, earlier on. People who say that we were partying in lockdown simply do not they are talking not know what they are talking about. Did wittingly or about. I did not wittingly or recklessly mislead parliament. It is clearly now the will of the Parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new Prime Minister. I know that there will be many people who are relieved and perhaps quite a few who will also be disappointed. But thems the breaks. The breaks. So boris will be joining our team here and hes going to be playing a key role in our coverage of both the uk general election. The next us election, as well. Hes going to create and present a new series showcasing the power of great britain. What makes us great . Our role around the world, Global Britain and he may well even be doing his own specials in front of Live Audiences. Hes box office and hes all ours. Box office and hes all ours. This is the real deal. Gb news whos got boris done. And now whos got boris done. And now its over to our Political Editor, Christopher Hope. Christopher thank you very, very much. This is massive. Much. This is massive. Yeah, its a big deal. But patrick, when he left being an mp, he said, hasta la vista , mp, he said, hasta la vista, baby. And no one quite knew what that meant. Well, now it means that meant. Well, now it means joining gb news for a for a regular programs on our channel to try and stress why he thinks britain can be great again in that clip there he sent us, he talked about how he wants to try and focus on foreign affairs, making britain again. Making britain great again. Russia. China issues ukraine. Im sure well touch some in some parts on domestic policy, but it is the kind of for many people are not in westminster, not where im in westminster, but others. I think hes hes the tonic which some people might missing. I remind you might be missing. I remind you the left office, the numbers when he left office, the numbers when he left office, the tory party was 12 points behind in the polls. Now its 24 points, twice as bad as when he left under a year of british sunak 28 points, according to gb news survey. Yesterday so for many, hes the part of the problem of why the tories have gone awry. For supporters, certainly not for mps, they have got quite tired of all the ill discipline around his regime. Um, but i giving them a um, but i think giving them a voice gb will be voice again on gb news will be quite interesting. I dont know what number 10 might think about it. Not an it. Of course hes not an mp anymore. Hes no political threat says will be threat. But what he says will be interesting and will be setting the weather. The political weather. Guy won a stonking this guy won a stonking majority. Okay people might find it difficult to understand, but for some reason, you know, this is incredibly well educated chap who say was born into immense privilege and all of this stuff just touches the pulse of the nation. Smash the red wall down, people love him. People do not like the fact that he was ousted from office. You look at the way the conservative party is languishing in the polls right now and its easy to see why getting of boris may well getting rid of boris may well have been mistake and he is have been a mistake and he is here, isnt he, to sell a positive vision for britain, for. Us yes. The party is doing twice as badly now. Today as it was when bofis badly now. Today as it was when Boris Johnson was removed from office. According to the polls. Office. According to the polls. I know labour pilo on labours side back in as recently as september 2021, they were saying to me privately, when will johnson when he johnson retire . When will he leave . When will he move on . As leave . When will he move on . As it was , it was tory mps who got it was, it was tory mps who got him door within nine him out the door within nine months in degree panic that months in a degree of panic that led being appointed led to liz truss being appointed and removed as leader as and then removed as leader as well until sunak was well until rishi sunak was appointed about a year ago this week. I it will be week. I think it will be a reminder for lot of tory reminder for a lot of tory supporters, us and others who voted back 2019. What voted for him back in 2019. What theyre missing, 13 Million People voted for johnsons party, the tories. Then it wont be that many at the next election. Judging by polls. Oh, absolutely. Look, let me election. Judging by polls.

Y people north, Prime Minister who still, espethis. Y again,ple north, Prime Minister who still, espethis. Y again, something h, and this is again, something that i think other outlets that i think other Media Outlets fail recognise are so fail to recognise they are so obsessed the westminster obsessed with the westminster minutiae, the london centric approach. They forget that not only is there a bigger world out there, theres actually a much bigger there. Bigger country out there. There are communities out there are huge communities out there that feel fundamentally unrepresented covid by the media landscape and Boris Johnson punched through that red wall and thats what were going to hope to do here as well. But christopher, you alluded to the idea that maybe, just maybe number 10 wont be too happy about this. Whats whats the reaction . Done well reaction .

You know, its a free country. Off, off, he country. And off, off, off he goes. Mean, i think he you goes. But i mean, i think he you know, he is someone who who does feel hes got Unfinished Business said, business in politics.

Look, you can there we go. Well, look, you can email keep those emails coming in gbviews gbnews. Com. Were going to to olivia utley going to go to olivia utley very, very shortly, who is, of course, another one of our political correspondents. And after that, were going to be heanng after that, were going to be hearing from nigel farage as well. But numerous mps have branded the governments own plans to cut the asylum backlog incomplete and unrealistic as they warn the efforts to do so will only worsen the current crisis. As the publics accounts crisis. As the Publics Accounts Committee has warned that adequate safeguards are not in place to protect against the risks to Vulnerable People that genuine claimants may not have their asylum application viewed properly, but the report also claims that the home office has no credible plan to end the use of hotels for migrants and faces a huge challenge to meet rishi sunaks pledge to do so. I dont sunaks pledge to do so. I dont know about you, but im looking fonnard to seeing Boris Johnsons on this a little johnsons views on this a little bit later on on gb news. But joining now is our political joining me now is our political correspondent, utley correspondent, olivia utley olivia, so olivia, thank you very much. So earlier week, we had earlier on in the week, we had were going to cut down on the amount of Migrant Hotels there are. Were going at are. Were to going shut at least them. Were cutting least 50 of them. Were cutting back. The crossings are down 30. And weve got out. And then today weve got out. Theres no plan. Actually, theres no plan. And actually, we still going be we hotels are still going to be used. What happening . Used. What was happening . Absolutely. A few days well, absolutely. A few days ago, we had a sort of bombastic speech from the immigration minister, Robert Jenrick, saying that six months he that over the next six months he would down 100 hotels for would close down 100 hotels for migrant use. There are 400. Just migrant use. There are 400. Just a quick reminder, 400 Hotels Across the country which are being used to house 50,000 migrants at a cost of £8 million a day to the taxpayer. Now, of course, Robert Jenrick announcement that these hotels are going to be phased out was greeted very, very, very warmly by conservative by the conservative backbenchers. Of whom are backbenchers. All of whom are deeply concerned about this £8 million a day bill for the taxpayer. Well, the problem is taxpayer. Well, the problem is that report from a that this report from a Cross Party Group of mps has really poured cold water on Robert Jenrick plans. They say that his claim that hell be able to start closing hotels because theyre processing asylum claims quicker than they were before tom moore is nonsense. They argue. Im paraphrasing a little bit here. They didnt quite say it was nonsense, but they argue that actually what theyre doing is just rushing claims through. And so happens is a genuine so what happens is a genuine Asylum Seekers claims get overlooked and b this huge, huge black backlog that weve got nearly 100,000 people who are waiting on average over a year, 430 days to get their asylum claims processed. This backlog moves from the home office to the courts. It doesnt disappear. People whove had their asylum claim rejected simply take the issue to the courts and you get a huge, huge backlog in the courts. Finally, some of them will get through and theyll go back into the backlog the home office. So backlog at the home office. So essentially, this report suggests jenrick suggests that no Robert Jenrick is. Home office, the is wrong. The home office, the home offices to sure home offices plan to make sure that these migrants are processed faster, make sure these able to close. These hotels are able to close. Its just really going to its just not really going to work. Work. Olivia, thank you very much. Well, and i think, you well, summarise and i think, you know, again, i that people know, again, i know that people are hearing about the are sick of hearing about the small boats crisis , about small boats crisis, about Migrant Hotels, about the asylum backlog , and i get that. But the backlog, and i get that. But the point is theyre sick of it because nothing seems to be being done about it. Olivia utley theyre gb news a political now, political correspondent. Now, look, come, nigel look, still to come, Nigel Farage Natwest de banking farage on natwest de banking fiasco. The bank made serious fiasco. The bank made serious failings when it denied the gb news presenter a bank account. We this and we will we all know this and we will find out why. Nigel has described report as described the report as a whitewash and if you are just tuning in right now and youre wondering why gb news is trending and why Boris Johnson is trending well , that is is trending well, that is because gb news has signed Boris Johnson. We know what you wanted johnson. We know what you wanted and we went out and got boris done Patrick Christys gb News Business news the Camilla Tominey show sunday mornings from 930 on. Sunday mornings from 930 on. Gb news. Heck of a lot to go out today. Isnt there . Natwest groups decision to shut down nigel farage coots account showed serious failings in its treatment of the gb news presenter. Thats according to an independent review. It found that closure of his account that the closure of his account did follow banks did not follow the banks policies. Also revealed that policies. It also revealed that the banks decision was lawful under predominantly commercial reasons. Well, look, nigel has described the report as a whitewash , so were going to be whitewash, so were going to be talking to him about that. We are, of course, also going to be talking to him about the other big the day, which gb big news of the day, which is gb news the one and only news signing the one and only bofis news signing the one and only Boris Johnson. I imagine that might create quite an interesting between interesting dynamic between these powerhouses these two powerhouses of british politics. Nigel joins me politics. But nigel joins me now. Very much. Politics. But nigel joins me now. Farage very much. Politics. But nigel joins me now. Farage lets very much. Politics. But nigel joins me now. Farage lets startery much. Politics. But nigel joins me now. Farage lets start with nuch. Nigel farage lets start with the whitewash of the report then. So what do you make of it . Whats gone on for you . Whats gone on for you . Well, we were told the report would be independent and then i saw that Travers Smith , a city saw that Travers Smith, a city law firm, had been appointed to look into this case. And when you realise that the emeritus chair of that firm, chris hale , is somebody who chris hale, is somebody who described the Brexit Campaign and those that campaigned in it as as racists and xenophobes , i as as racists and xenophobes, i began to wonder just how independent it would be. But what we see as far as Dame Alison Rose is concerned is a complete and utter whitewash. This was not an honest mistake. We all make honest mistakes. We all say things and think, oh gosh, i shouldnt have done that. But heres the point. And that. But heres the point. And it was at a dinner when she sat next to the bbcs Business Correspondent Simon Jacques, that she said i bank with coutts and that id been cancelled because it didnt have sufficient funds the next day. So Simon Jacques rang her up and said, look, this was said last night over a glass of wine. Are night over a glass of wine. Are you okay with me going public with this . And she said, yes. So it wasnt an honest mistake. And it wasnt an honest mistake. And frankly, she and the bank are guilty of malabar ministration at every level they have tried to lie their way out of all of this and it doesnt wash the market says that also this morning. So as far as shes concerned, its a whitewash. On concerned, its a whitewash. On the procedural side of it, they do say there were some serious errors. And isnt it extraordinary , the letter that i extraordinary, the letter that i got tells me my accounts would be closed with no explanation came on the same headed paper. They used for people they suspect of Financial Crime and that tells you all you need to know about the culture that alison rose had overseen and encouraged at natwest. I mean, just look at the things they were saying about me. They were going to push me out of a moving car. Chuck a milkshake over me. I mean, this really was really very, very close to a form of political hate against somebody that involved with the that was involved with the Brexit Campaign and the russia stuff just drives me mad. Patrick i mean, the subject access report mentioned russia 144 times. So you can see they were trying to build up their own prejudice narrative. The fish rots from the head down.

Weve got people here pointing he is a people here pointing out he is a bit bit of a greeny, isnt bit of a bit of a greeny, isnt he . He is very, very environmental and environmental conscious.

Well, youre going have the chance now to going to have the chance now to grill it yourself. Can email going to have the chance now to grilldirectlyself. Can email going to have the chance now to grilldirectly right can email going to have the chance now to grilldirectly right herein email going to have the chance now to grilldirectly right here atzmail going to have the chance now to grilldirectly right here at gb il him directly right here at gb news.

So thank you very much, everybody. We do much, everybody. We really do care here. We knew care about you here. And we knew that wanted it. Okay . Every that you wanted it. Okay . Every other wanted boris other news channel wanted Boris Johnson. The ones who got johnson. Were the ones who got bofis johnson. Were the ones who got boris done. But now much said boris done. But now much is said about impartiality, isnt it . Some it the gold some even call it the Gold Standard for the but thats standard for the bbc, but thats been brought seriously into question today because the corporation has admitted to launching attack on gb launching a biased attack on gb news that its news and said that its Newsnight Programme breached its own so the own editorial standards. So the programme, which focussed on some comments made some of the comments made by Laurence Wootton laurence fox on dan wootton tonight, received multiple complaints from outraged members of claimed that of the public who claimed that the had the debate was one sided. We had Mp Philip Davies didnt. We says that he received many complaints from his constituents in shipley. Hes now referred the matter is the matter to ofcom, which is the media watchdog. Joining me now is the spokesperson for the free speech union. Its Benjamin Jones. Speech union. Its Benjamin Jones. Benjamin, thank you very, jones. Benjamin, thank you very, very much. Great to have you on very much. Great to have you on the show. So the bbc decided that something that happened here at gb news was in the best interest of the nation to be beamed out there on newsnight. And in order to do that, they basically got three people, unquestionably a presenter, who all had the same view and tried to give us an absolute kicking and shock horror. It turned out that that might have broken the rules. Rules. Well, whats even more extraordinary about it is that the bbc has now taken one month to admit what was perfectly obvious to anybody who saw the original segment that youve just described. It was completely transparent that the panel was biased, that it was not impartial by any stretch of the imagination. But anyone whos gone through the process of trying to get the bbc to admit wrongdoing or to go through bbc complaints through the bbc complaints process knows its getting process knows its like getting blood from stone. Blood from a stone. But this at least, but in this case at least, they finally admitted that they have finally admitted that that should have gone that panel should not have gone out in that form. Out in that form. But its not just that, is it . I the bbc is in hot it . I mean, the bbc is in hot water generally. I mean, were nosing it on right now nosing it on this right now because is the kind of because this is the kind of announcement today that bbc announcement today that the bbc has teeth, been has through gritted teeth, been forced admit bias. Can just forced to admit bias. Can i just say cannot understand for the say i cannot understand for the life of me how this was allowed to happen . If youre going to give someone an absolute kicking, to kicking, if youre going to give us absolute kicking, at least us an absolute kicking, at least make you balance that make sure that you balance that because othennise its a massive own goal. Its a huge own goal. Theyve walked straight into it. Theyve walked straight into it. Theyve wandered straight into theyve walked straight into it. Thnlrve wandered straight into theyve walked straight into it. Thni thoughtiered straight into theyve walked straight into it. Thni thought itred straight into theyve walked straight into it. Thni thought it wastraight into theyve walked straight into it. Thni thought it was fabulous to it. I thought it was fabulous pr for way. So thank you for us, by the way. So thank you very much, everybody at new broadcasting house, youve done as there. As an absolute solid there. But the has admitted bias. The bbc has now admitted bias. But just in hot but theyre not just in hot water this. Its over water over this. Its over things like oh, its over things like hamas. Oh, its over left bias in general. I did left wing bias in general. I did a segment them yesterday. A segment on them yesterday. Theyve on newsround, theyve put out on newsround, which is basically a news website kids stories about which is basically a news websiprivilege; stories about which is basically a news websiprivilege ,stories about which is basically a news websiprivilege , presentinth which is basically a news websiprivilege , presenting that White Privilege, presenting that as whats wrong with the as fact. Whats wrong with the beeb . Beeb . Well, its no wonder people are getting sick of and no are getting sick of it and no wonder bbcs threatened by wonder the bbcs threatened by the of gb news and by its the growth of gb news and by its success as in todays announcement just now. Announcement just now. But there was that phrase used, wasnt there, about disrupting broadcast ecology disrupting the broadcast ecology and that news was upsetting and that gb news was upsetting this balance . Well, good on gb news for doing it because gb news for doing it because gb news represents many, many hundreds of thousands, millions of viewers , people, voters of viewers, people, voters across the country whose views are not represented either in politics by mainstream Political Parties or the legacy media. Parties or by the legacy media. So its absolutely right that in any natural system , things in any natural system, things have to evolve, adapt and change. And thats what the old media has to contend with, and it needs to do a lot better. And the bbc really has, i think, deserved the kicking its got over the last few weeks for its reporting and the misinformation that been distributing, that it has been distributing, particularly with respect to the bombing of the hospital in gaza, which it attributed, of course, to israel , a theory that has to israel, a theory that has been quicker than comprehensively debunked. So we need gb news and other new Media Outlets to be challenging the legacy media. But the other point that i think that was really important from that particular story about the hospital was the importance of social media in revealing to people what is actually going on. You can see the open Source Intelligence for intelligence community, for instance , on twitter or as it instance, on twitter or as it now is very quickly establishing and corroborating reports or debunking. Debunking. Oh, there we go. Thats fair enough. We were bringing it to a close anyway. It was Benjamin Jones with the free speech union. Look, the bbc is copying it at the moment. For what its worth, bbc can genuinely worth, the bbc can genuinely provide service on provide a good service on certain things , but for me, i certain things, but for me, i just dont really think they understand and recognise their own. You have look own bias. You have to look through iplayer and you can just see everything appears to be done far i can tell from done as far as i can tell from some kind of centre left or rabidly left standard. Every rabidly left standard. Every single thing appears to be quite easily spun and certainly that newsroom bound article that we were talking about yesterday about presenting White Privilege as presented to as fact, its presented to children. And you know, when children. And you know, when youve got six year olds and seven olds maybe logging on seven year olds maybe logging on to website for first to a news website for the first time their and looking time in their lives and looking at they they dont look at at it, they they dont look at things critically. Analyse things critically. They analyse things critically. And i personally that quite personally find that to be quite concerning. Gb views a gbnews. Com coming the gbnews. Com look coming up, the rugby racism rant in which a white player claims that he was racially abused by a black opponent. Theres been reports opponent. Theres been reports into this. Theres been accused of being hung out to dry. Its been accused of being badly let down. There are accusations that there is no way on earth that this would have treated the this would have been treated the same if it the other way same way if it was the other way around. Have been an around. Thered have been an independent by now, independent inquiry by now, wouldnt would wouldnt there . Rugby would be institutional racist by now, wouldnt Patrick Christys gb wouldnt it . Patrick christys gb news, britains news channel. On sundays on gb news with me, Michael Portillo gb news britains news. Michael portillo gb news britains news. Channel britains news. Channel wow. Very good afternoon, everybody. Yes. Now england everybody. Yes. Now england bosses have hit out after world rugbys decision to close an investigation into the alleged racist slur at last saturdays semi final game, obviously involving england. Now world rugby did not continue investigations into the alleged verbal abuse this was directed at tom curry from lamborghini bambi due to insufficient evidence. It is an Unexpected Development to say the least, actually, because the rfu revealed that it disclosed to the inquiry that curry had also been the victim of the same abuse from the same player. When the rivals clashed at twickenham last november. So there was last november. So there was a bit of history here. Now i, for obvious reason, cannot repeat and would not want to, by the way. Exactly what was allegedly said to tom curry. But it was i mean, unequivocally racist. And lets be honest with you , if it lets be honest with you, if it was anything if there was a whiff of a suspicion that Something Like this had happened the other way round, we all know what the result would be by now. Dont joining me now is dont we . But joining me now is daily mail rugby reporter alex bywater. Alex, you very bywater. Alex, thank you very much entering fray. Much for entering the fray. As we tread minefield of not we tread the minefield of not actually what was actually saying what was allegedly so what is allegedly said but so what is the reaction to this now i must say i was quite surprised that theyve just shut the door on it. I mean, am i missing something here . Is this non event . Well, theres been a full investigation by rugby investigation by world rugby into the event and mbonambi the south african has been cleared. Hes playing in the World Cup Final tomorrow. So really, i think that is the end of the matter. Okay. Just tom curry feel let down. Do england feel as though hes been let down . Well, there was a strong statement from the rfu yesterday sort of condemning the abuse that curry has faced on on social media, which has really obviously been totally out of order. He reported what he thought he heard on the field at the time. Theres absolutely no the time. Theres absolutely no way that he should have been targeted personally for saying that the allegation has been cleared, that mbonambi has not been found guilty. But that doesnt mean that curry should have taken any flack at all. So i think it was very good that the rfu and sale sharks who are currys club employers, came out and condemned that. Yeah, i mean and condemned that. Yeah, i mean they obviously theyre backing their man , okay. And there will their man, okay. And there will be a bit of tribalism here and they are not just his team, theyre also his employer and that stands for both the rfu and his club team as well. So you would want them, wouldnt you, to come out and back that person. And it is a very partisan thing. Any sport is that they that he that said they now say that he was called and this alleged slur twice once last year and once now recently the Rugby World Cup by the same person and i mean it just starts to look like theres a bit of a pattern there, doesnt it . I dont think you can say that at all, to be honest. You know, there has been honest. You know, there has been two incidences that have been referred to, but we cannot say that there has been a pattern because hes been cleared on this occasion. I dont think this occasion. So i dont think thats no. Okay. All thats true. No. Okay. All right. And you think that right. And do you think that there some justified there is some justified speculation as to whether or not the shoe had been on the other foot here . And something similar had been said or allegedly said that there possibly would have been about it . Thats been more done about it . Thats not for me to say. I dont want to comment on that. Okay. All right. And obviously, the england very disappointed england team very disappointed in general. You know, do you think rugby does enough to combat racism . Again, its not combat racism . Again, its not for me to comment on whether rugby is doing enough. I think rugby is doing enough. I think the investigation that was carried out by world rugby was clear. Thats the result and we have to respect that because there is still no proof that what alleged to have been what was alleged to have been said by mbonambi was true. I said by mbonambi was true. I mean, in general, really, look, weve seen, you know, issues in cricket. We obviously know that football amount. Football does a huge amount. They the knee before the they take the knee before the start of the game, etcetera. So, you it you know, in general, when it comes to rugby, has it got normally quite a clean reputation it comes reputation when it comes to stuff like will this have stuff like this . Will this have been to the world, been a shock to the rugby world, do think . Do you think . I think it was a shock with the allegation. As kind of you know, as youve kind of said, rugby doesnt , as far you know, as youve kind of sai im rugby doesnt , as far you know, as youve kind of sai im concerned, oesnt , as far you know, as youve kind of saiim concerned, doesnt as far you know, as youve kind of saiim concerned, doesnt have� as im concerned, doesnt have a problem with racism. We very rarely see these sorts of incidents. Was a shock that it was it was a shock that the past incident between a nambi and curry was mentioned world rugby does a lot of stuff to try and combat racism. The rfu as well. So i think there is the sport is doing a lot to make sure that this doesnt happen. Okay all right, alex, thank you very, very much. Alex, thank you very, very much. Alex there is a daily alex bywater. There is a daily mail reporter just mail rugby reporter just reacting to that news that essentially no further action will saying will be taken. Theyre saying that insufficient evidence will be taken. Theyre saying that courseiicient evidence will be taken. Theyre saying that course thatt evidence will be taken. Theyre saying that course that hasidence will be taken. Theyre saying that course that has to nce will be taken. Theyre saying that course that has to bet will be taken. Theyre saying that course that has to be the and of course that has to be the case, doesnt thats all case, doesnt it . Thats all anyone to go off. And tom anyone has to go off. And tom curry claims vehemently that he knows what he heard. Hes knows what he heard. And hes saying that heard that he was saying that he heard that he was called a racial slur not once, but once from the year but twice, once from the year before , and that something before, and that something arguably should about arguably should be done about that. The rfu has gone into bat for him, his club has gone into bat him. You know, bat for him. And you know, i think there is a serious think that there is a serious case to be had there that maybe things would have been taken a little bit more seriously had that other way around. That been the other way around. Hopefully find that been the other way around. Hop gbvr find that been the other way around. Hop gbv user find that been the other way around. Hop gbv user gbnews.

Demand for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in gaza is being voted on by the United Nations. In new york, western countries , including the uk, countries, including the uk, have calling for have been calling for a humanitarian pause in fighting instead to allow the delivery of aid into the enclave. But arab nations say more needs to be done to help civilians here. The Prime Minister is under growing pressure to change his position. Hundreds signed hundreds of lawyers have signed an urging rishi an open letter urging rishi sunak to ensure the uk follows international law. Shadow environment secretary steve reed, though justified why labouris reed, though justified why labour is not calling for a ceasefire pause allows the aid to go in without stopping israel taking action to disable the terrorists who attack them in the first place. A ceasefire would stop israel from doing that and would lead the terrorist capability intact if they are left with the same capability, with the bombs, with the weapons, hold ing, remember, over 200 hostages, and then they will go back into israel and they will do this again. That is not keeping people safe and its not keeping people safe and its not actually keeping people in gaza safe either, because further attacks on israel will provoke action. Well, israels Defence Forces say hamas is exploiting innocent gazans using civilians as human shields. Its after the militant shields. Its after the militant group claimed israels bombing of the territories killed 50 hostages. The confirmed number of people being held by the terrorists stands at 229 people. Hamas says it cant and wont release them until a ceasefire is agreed. Meanwhile, the is agreed. Meanwhile, the Israeli Military confirmed another 250 airstrikes have been carried out over the last 24 hours, targeting hamas. Rear admiral daniel hagar from the idf says hamas is using hospitals as cover. Hamas not only endangers the lives of israelis, civilians , but also israelis, civilians, but also exploit in recent gazan civilians as human shield, hamas use of hospitals is a systematic Hamas Terrorists operate inside hospitals precise because they know the idf distinguishes between terrorists and civilians i israel targets terrorists. Israel targets terrorists. Hamas targets israeli civilians and gazan civilians. Well, and gazan civilians. Well, earlier rockets were fired at israel from gaza. A building in southern tel aviv was hit with the missile evading the countrys iron dome defence system. Three People Defence system. Three people were injured. The met police were injured.

Theyve named robert cod as a person of interest. Theyve described him interest. Theyve described him as dangerous. Divers as armed and dangerous. Divers are being deployed to are currently being deployed to search a river close to where the suspects car was found. Maines Public Safety commissioner , mike sauschuck, commissioner, mike sauschuck, says there , following all lines says there, following all lines of inquiry. Of inquiry. While this is going to look like a major focus today with a lot of people, we have a lot of other irons in the fire. So im not here saying that the suspect, we know the suspect is in the water and this is what were doing. Im telling were doing. What im telling you going to see a lot you is youre going to see a lot of activity here. And im going to tell you that advance. To tell you that in advance. Weve nothing to hide in weve got nothing to hide in that so then that regard at all. So then youre have some sonar youre going to have some sonar as well thats going to be utilised here.

At the end of june, there were almost 68,000 cases awaiting a decision. International security decision. International security and Border Control expert henry bolton says theres no real plan to resolve the issue. To resolve the issue. If you are not processing correctly, you are going fast enough. If you havent put the resources into it, if you havent trained your staff adequately, case, adequately, which is the case, then you are going to have a problem in terms of accommodation. And so then you end up with additional taxpayer costs. There you know, it is it is mind bogglingly incompetent of the home office to have put it together like this. There is no plan. No plan. However, the education secretary , Gillian Keegan says a secretary, Gillian Keegan says a serious effort is being made to address the problem. We have got tough on immigration. Were the people who have introduced new legislation because obviously you have to have the law behind you. Weve also obviously had the rwanda policy, which is still in the courts, but that is part of the policy. And weve also got returns agreements now with a number of countries and a new agreement with france as well. Were also looking at alternatives to hotels to bring that bill down to the taxpayer. So we are the ones taking all of the actions. But there is no doubt that this is a huge problem. Meanwhile, the education secretary says there are no cultural problems within her party after a senior mp was arrested on suspicion of rape and the possession of controlled substances. Gillian keegan told substances. Gillian keegan told gb news most of her colleagues act with integrity.

Why i think our best days are yet to come and why , on the whole, the people of why, on the whole, the people of the world want to see more for Global Britain, not less. So join me on gb news for some Great British television. Great british television. Well, there we go. Thats right. We got boris done, didnt right. We got boris done, didnt we . The man who smashed the red wall, the man who won a stonking majority. The man who many people think fell victim to the biggest up since biggest stitch up since the bayeux who bayeux tapestry. The man who does opinion. Hes does divide opinion. Hes controversial. Man that controversial. Hes the man that every other channel, every other news channel, though, despite what they say they about him. What they think about him. What suited hes chosen to suited him. But hes chosen to come to gb news. Mr speaker , it is not too mr speaker, it is not too late to save brexit. Therefore, i give notice that bofis therefore, i give notice that Boris Johnson is elected as the leader of the conservative and unionist party. Unionist party. Well, my friends. Good morning, everybody. My friends. Well, we did it. We did it. I say respectfully to our stentorian friend in the blue 12 star hat. Thats it. Stentorian friend in the blue 12 star hat. Thats it. Time to put a sock in the megaphone tonight , a sock in the megaphone tonight, we are leaving the European Union. The most important thing union. The most important thing to say tonight is that this is not an end , but a beginning. Not an end, but a beginning. This is the moment when the dawn breaks and the curtain goes up on a new act in our Great National drama , we must national drama, we must therefore go into a National Lockdown , which is tough enough lockdown, which is tough enough to contain in this variant. That means the government is once again instructing you to stay at home. The last place youd want the Prime Minister to be at a time of National Crisis is for Boris Johnson. This is now a deeply personal crisis to his coronavirus. Symptoms worsened and tonight he was moved into the intensive care unit that was not a party. I was there too. I was there too. I was there too. I havent said it was party. Mr johnson well, you did actually, early on. People who say that we were partying in lockdown simply do not know what they about. Did they are talking about. I did not wittingly recklessly not wittingly or recklessly mislead parliament. It is clearly now will of the clearly now the will of the Parliamentary Conservative Party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new Prime Minister. I know that there will be many people who are relieved and perhaps quite a few who will also be disappointed. But thems also be disappointed. But thems the breaks. The breaks. Well, boris will be joining our team here, playing a key role in our coverage about the uk general election and the us election next year is going to create and present a new series showcasing the power of great britain. What makes us great . Our role around the world. A Global Britain and is going to be doing special shows in front of Live Audiences. Hes box of Live Audiences. Hes box office. Hes ours. Hes yours office. Hes ours. Hes yours now. This is the real deal. Gb news got boris done , but we had news got boris done, but we had to keep it under wraps for quite a while , which i think we did a while, which i think we did quite a good job of remarkably, considering that the Media Industry is about as leaky as a sieve, isnt it . Lets go over now to our Political Editor, Christopher Hope, because there will now be a political fallout as a result of this and a media fallout as well. But christopher, whats going on in politics now . Politics now . Ive been looking at my twitter feed , as you have, twitter feed, as you have, patrick, since we announced this a an hour ago. Someone sent me a picture of a man falling off a chair, which i think kind of summarises , i think of the summarises, i think lots of the reaction a political world. Reaction in a political world. Youll see behind me the tory party is quite sanguine. Theyre saying good luck to him. Hes in private , private individual. He private, private individual. He can do whatever he wants. I mean, thats how thats how theyve got to react because hes no longer an mp. Hes really a former Prime Minister. Lee , of course, lee anderson, of course, a colleague at gb news, but also the partys vice chairman. He says this announcement will send the wing outlets the left wing Media Outlets into a gb news is here to a meltdown. Gb news is here to stay and the true voice of the nafion stay and the true voice of the nation watch. The views of other nation watch. The views of other stations now flock to the already massive audience of gb news. Boris. Priti news. Welcome boris. Priti patel. The former home secretary. She says that we are the most dynamic. No nonsense news station and the defender of free speech. This announcement proves that once again boris, to bnng proves that once again boris, to bring his extensive experience insights gb news and keep gb news at the forefront of setting a strong news and Current Affairs agenda. So his supporters are happy. I mean, he supporters are happy. I mean, he is a marmite figure. Patrick lets be honest about it. I mean, not everyone likes Boris Johnson. Bill fell out with him. His own mps lost confidence with him, 150 or so. Really said, off you go, boris. Him, 150 or so. Really said, off you go, boris. Last summer, you go, boris. Last summer, dont forget july last year. But of course he was this individual who who can hold together this very important coalition of support at the 2019 general election when won an 80 seat majority. Hes very popular in the north of england. Ive been up there with him when hes done tours. When he was a mayor of london, they love him up there. I think that that kind of love for him, frankly, in the north, north england, is still north of england, will is still there probably and he there for him. Probably and he may getting excited may find himself getting excited again politics and again about politics and recognising his support recognising where his support lies. Dont forget, patrick, when stood down from being when he stood down from being Prime Minister, the tory party was points. Thats 12 points was 12 points. Thats 12 points behind the tory. The labour party now the party is 24 points according to yougov today. Thats one year of british sunak 28 points according to a gb news poll just yesterday. So you know hes not around anymore. Hes hes not around anymore. Hes not an mp. But i think what he says will have political resonance as we go into a very big general election year. Yeah, i mean, there are a heck of a lot of people like him or loathe him. There are a heck of of people sitting in of a lot of people sitting in parliament right now for the conservatives who owe their seat to johnson. And think to Boris Johnson. And i think a lot of people were very quick to forget that however, the mood forget that. However, the mood of a lot of people i speak to when i go back up north, where im from, i go and speak to people up there, and a lot of them think, right, he didnt cover himself in glory all the time. Fine. There were no scandals. There were situations. Scandals. There were situations. And end , you know, and maybe in the end, you know, things and what things happened. And thats what happened. Was he happened. You know, he was he was but theres heck was ousted. But theres a heck of people who say that of a lot of people who say that he was stitched it was he was stitched up. It was a kangaroo court. He was the best Prime Minister of this country since know, Prime Minister of this country sinc christopher know, Prime Minister of this country sinc christopher , know, Prime Minister of this country sinc christopher , hes know, Prime Minister of this country sinc christopher , hes asked, n, now christopher, hes asked, isnt he and this is going to be a massive us. Do you a massive boon for us. Do you think that he will at any point, at any point find himself back into politics . Is this going to be the launch pad for the next bofis be the launch pad for the next Boris Johnson premiership, do you . You think . Well, it could do. Theres a guy called lord cruddas, peter cruddas, who runs the conservative democratic organisation. He sent me a text saying that hes delighted about what but they really what happened, but they really need back politics at the need him back in politics at the front tory party in front line. The tory party is in dire straits, cruddas says. Dire straits, lord cruddas says. Bofis dire straits, lord cruddas says. Boris needs to start fighting for the 40 Million People that voted for him and gave him that landslide victory. Your landslide victory. And your point patrick. And point is right, patrick. And he certainly boris certainly feels that Boris Johnson , that mandate johnson, that personal mandate that describe there, which that you describe there, which the tories had never had before, this the north, this this support in the north, this red seat area, he he those red wall seat area, he he those are his people and he wonders why forced out by mps who why he was forced out by mps who know judging, know better. Well, judging, looking maybe they looking at the polls, maybe they didnt much better. Didnt know that much better. Frankly they are the frankly because they are the polls are twice as bad as they were when he was in in power. Yeah, absolutely. Look, christopher, thank you very much.

So gb views gbnews. Com. Them coming in. Gbnews. Com. Keep them coming in. Look the agenda look loads more on the agenda though. Not though. Of course its not all about numerous have about boris. Numerous mps have branded own branded the governments own plans asylum backlog plans to cut the asylum backlog incomplete unrealistic as incomplete and unrealistic as they warn efforts to do so they warn their efforts to do so will only worsen the crisis. I mean, how on earth can it get any worse . But the Public Accounts Committee has warned that adequate safeguards are not in place to protect against the risks to Vulnerable People and that claimants may not that genuine claimants may not have their application viewed properly. The report also claims that the home office has, quote, no credible plan to end the use of hotels for migrants and faces a huge challenge to meet rishi sunaks pledge to do so right. Well, joining me now is stephen woolf, director of the centre for migration and Economic Prosperity. Stephen thank you very, very much. Earlier on this very, very much. Earlier on this week it was were slashing the number of Migrant Hotels. Were number of Migrant Hotels. Were 30 down in the channel. Look at us, were doing everything great. And now it looks a lot like theres no plan and its awful whats happening. Well, i think what youre seeing actually , patrick, is a seeing actually, patrick, is a very clear kind of misinformation. Thats coming from those who are looking at the statistics of the Home Office Asylum process. What we see is that only a few months ago they were saying that there was a backlog of 130,000 odd asylum applications, and only recently they are now saying its 68,000. And so the only way that they could have got those numbers down and it was by allowing more asylum application is to actually be successful. And thats what were seeing. And thats what were seeing. Were seeing that theres a vast increase in the number of asylum applications being accepted in whats called the right to remain , but not because right to remain, but not because of what they classify as or Un Refugee Convention asylum, but discretionary. Discretionary. Theyre allowing them in as discretionary reasons, and that is why they can also now say we can look to reduce the number of hotels. Okay. All right. Do you okay. All right. Do you believe them, though . Do you believe them, though . Do you believe them, though . Do you believe them about the number of hotels . You know, this was good news people, certainly in news for people, certainly in rural there rural communities. There was a massive fear. Lot of people i massive fear. A lot of people i know north in rural know up north in rural communities, isolated communities, isolated communities saying, well, communities, isolated comn happens saying, well, communities, isolated comn happens if saying, well, communities, isolated comn happens if we aying, well, communities, isolated comn happens if we clear. Well, communities, isolated comn happens if we clear this l, what happens if we clear this backlog and we say, you can all stay. Youve got 28 days to leave this hotel and theres 400 mostly men in a hotel in the middle of nowhere who are essentially going to be made homeless in 28 days time. And thats a concern for any community. Now but this is where the sticky plan comes into place, where all youre doing is removing them from the numbers of the home office megxit because the moment that they say that youve been granted the right to remain in the uk for whatever reason, predominantly discretionary reasons , is its shifted on to that. That response ability of the local authority. So the people may be regarded as homeless, living in whichever area of the United Kingdom , but the United Kingdom, but the responsibility to house them now falls on the local taxpayers of that area and the local councils and the government can wash their hands of it and say, look, weve done our job. Weve granted them asylum. So its now up to you to find a home for them, right . And that is the looming crisis , isnt it . I mean, people crisis, isnt it . I mean, people think that people think that the crisis is the issue going on in the channel so the risk to loss of life there for people , that of life there for people, that humanitarian aspects of it, people also think like Suella Braverman that its an invasion. So youve got two crises in one there and then youve got the problem with the processing centres in manston. Some people say, well, theyre inhumane or the well, you know, say, well, theyre inhumane or theshouldnt well, you know, say, well, theyre inhumane or theshouldnt evenell, you know, say, well, theyre inhumane or theshouldnt even have u know, we shouldnt even have processing centres because people shouldnt be here. You know, the goes then know, the list goes on. Then weve an weve got the hotels. Thats an issue, to issue, the cost to the taxpayers. But actually i would argue the real problem is that we staring the barrel we are staring down the barrel of migrant homelessness. Of mass migrant homelessness. Mass. Well, its not just mass. Youve homelessness. Youve got homelessness. Its also effect that it has on also the effect that it has on the local communities who live there. Remember, weve got something a something in the region of a quarter Million People who quarter of a Million People who are with their children are living with their children in conditions in hostel in unfit conditions in hostel and b bs. And thats and b bs. And thats unacceptable because what youre doing now is saying, okay, we granted you right to remain. You can stay here now the council has to look for a home for you. But theyve already got homeless people. Already got people. Theyve already got people. Theyve already got people are living on the people who are living on the streets in unfit streets or living in unfit accommodation. What you have accommodation. So what you have is a situation in this country where were putting more and more people into the country with not enough accommodation, but abilities now but the response abilities now on authorities, not on the local authorities, not the government, thats the real crisis coming down crisis thats coming down the line now. Right. What would be indeed. Right. What would be so letting these so wrong with letting these Asylum Seekers work . Okay. So Asylum Seekers work . Okay. So they could earn a bit of money . I see you chuckling a bit there. They could earn a bit of money. They could earn a bit of money. They could earn a bit of money. They could pay a bit of tax. You know, they could maybe rent their own place. They wouldnt be on the much. Be relying on the state so much. Go on. Oh well, patrick, this argument heard so many argument ive heard so many times, lets look at some serious facts here. The fact is that in the last ten years, 5 million more people have come into this country and yet and yet allegedly have yet we still allegedly have people not being able to fill the jobs. And thats because the government has made it easy for students not to actually have to work anymore. One of the big factors of why people arent working anymore is because there are less students. And of course, we saw one over a Million People over the age of 50 say we dont want to work in the anymore. And the economy anymore. And they give of reasons. I spoke to give lots of reasons. I spoke to some today who said we dont want to work businesses, want to live in work businesses, for example, but reality for example, but the reality of offering money and work to those who claim asylum here before theyve even been granted asylum is very well known to be an attractive proposition for people smugglers, and it will just increase the numbers coming in. Okay, now, look, stephen, ive got a ive got to ask you, just finally, of course, there is a little bit of other news in town for us today here at gb news. Its caused quite the stir. Boris johnson is joining us, sure youve heard by us, as im sure youve heard by now. So boris is joining now. So Boris Johnson is joining us. Hes going to be doing a whole Different Things, whole host of Different Things, curating for us, doing our curating shows for us, doing our election coverage. And you know, having Global Britain having a look at Global Britain all stuff. Whats your all of this stuff. Whats your view on boris . Mean, you know, view on boris . I mean, you know, divisive character. Im sure you dont agree with dont you dont agree with everything hes said or done. You , whats take on it . Well, look, i have a personal issue with boris in that when i first entered the world of politics and a Political Party that was this size before i became independent myself, he was one of the only politicians that actually welcomed me and chatted to me when i was on the campaign trail. And he treated me like a human being, which is what people see about him. They see him as a decent individual whos willing to listen and is willing to chat. Im also very engaging. I thought, hes intelligent, hes got a lot to say to him and someone who also likes the classics and poetry. I likes the classics and poetry. I can understand where he comes from and gets that into his speeches. From and gets that into his speeches. I think hes a very speeches. I think hes a very successful individual who will do really, really well for gb news. But more importantly, where i see it, two areas that hell be successful. One is they bnngin hell be successful. One is they bring in the centre of conservative politics to come and watch the channel and listen to him, but also those who are northern, like myself, who really felt that it was a coup against him to remove him as leader and voted for him en masse during the red wall. I think they too will want to see what he has to say and what he wants to do in the future on your channel and perhaps for himself personally. Yeah. Stephen, look, thank yeah. Stephen, look, thank you very much. Cracking stuff and thanks for being a part of this show as well. Always great to to you. Take care. To chat to you. Take care. Stephen the director of stephen wolf is the director of the centre for migration and Economic Prosperity now Economic Prosperity.

Still to come , loads more on our big come, loads more on our big signing. Boris johnson. Yes, signing. Boris johnson. Yes, thats right. Boris has joined gb news. The fact is , like him, gb news. The fact is, like him, all of him, every other channel wanted him and weve gone and got him. Why . Of you. We got him. Why . Because of you. We know that hes deeply popular know that hes a deeply popular figure a lot of our viewers figure with a lot of our viewers and our listeners. We also know that there a of you who that there are a lot of you who have a few gripes with boris , have a few gripes with boris, and wed to put them him and wed like to put them to him directly. You know what . You directly. So, you know what . You get the chance to do that with us now. But in other news, yeah, natwest shut natwest groups decision to shut down Farage Coutts account showed failings showed serious failings in its treatment of him. Thats according to an independent review. But it also found that the closure of his account did not follow the banks policies and it revealed that the banks decision lawful decision was, however lawful under predominantly commercial reasons. Nigel has described it as a whitewash. And there is as a whitewash. And there is a Bigger Picture here, a much Bigger Picture here, a much Bigger Picture, which is which is the point really, which is that if they behaved like that towards somebody as prominent as nigel with the views that nigel farage with the views that nigel farage with the views that nigel has on things like brexit, on things like immigration and on things like immigration and on things like net zero, then what were they doing to you . And how ready were they to get you biffed as well. But nigel did say that this was not an honest mistake. Mistake. Just look at the things they were saying about me. They were going to push me out of a moving car , chuck a milkshake over me. Car, chuck a milkshake over me. I mean, this really was really very, very close to a form of political hate against somebody that was involved the that was involved with the brexit the russia Brexit Campaign and the russia stuff just drives me mad. Patrick i mean, the subject access report mentioned russia 144 times. So you can see they were trying to build up their own prejudice narrative. The fish rots from the head down. Alison rose must not walk away from this job with £11. 3 million, 40 of it provided by us, the taxpayer. And i also believe that Howard Davies, the Howard Davies, the chairman , has Howard Davies, the chairman, has been utterly incompetent throughout and he should not be allowed to see out his term until the end of next spring. Right. Well, there we go. Joining me now is the director and co founder of regionally, Justin Urquhart stewart. You you know the political ideology that this massive. This has exposed is massive. There are a lot of quotes on quotes, Little People out there with like profile of with nothing like the profile of nigel with nothing like nigel farage, with nothing like the of resources that the kind of resources that maybe, maybe nothing like that personal drive and desire to right some wrong things. Hes exposed it. Hes blown the doors off it all. What happens now, though . What happens now . Though . What happens now . Quite astonishing , well, its quite astonishing, isnt it, that as nigel quite rightly identified, your your piece you had then this lady is going to go walk away with a huge package generally known as actually well failure breaching one of the key elements in banking that is trust it. Banking and that is trust it. You cant trust an organisation to make sure your Financial Affairs , be they Financial Affairs, be they corporate or personal, are kept secure. Then something is seriously wrong. This is not just a minor infringement. This is a very major issue. This is a very major issue. So whether you like nigel farage or not, or whether you like the banks or not, its not beside the point. This is not the way you actually behave. So what they actually behave. So what they have done is not just slightly damaged their brand domestic , damaged their brand domestic, but also Institutional International as well. Natwest is a very big bank. Not as bad as it was under the previous management, but nonetheless, he went through a crisis and was saved, of course, by us. We bailed them out and not only that, were not going to get our money back because the shares at their current value has dropped by another 0. 6 today. Really have not been a investment at all. And of a good investment at all. And of course, sitting we own this thing. We expect it to be run to the right levels and standard. After all, as ownership, were owners. We have, you know, a proper legitimate right to know. Indeed. But also in no, we do indeed. But also in most walks of life , if you most other walks of life, if you mess up that badly, you dont end up with Something Like a 10 or £11 million payout, right . I mean, its unbelievable. Its absolute insane. Is that happening . Is that going to happen . This lady, Dame Alison Rose £11 million to just do what . Well, i find it astonishing all the times ive been in business and, you know, theyre not always perfect. Yes. You make mistakes and time to time you own up and get on with it. But if youre responsible for whats gone wrong, then expect not to walk away with money. But actually be thrown out with some enthusiasm you enthusiasm because you have brought into brought the company into disrepute, you , but the disrepute, not just you, but the company, the value and brand value of that business. Its worth millions. And shes worth millions. And shes decided to be able to trash decided just to be able to trash it. The rest of the it. And then the rest of the board, frankly, sort of going along with it. And well see how it goes in the future. Thats not good enough. If you want to have responsible banking, which people im people internationally say, im going money with that going to put money with that bank behaves properly going to put money with that bank thats behaves properly going to put money with that bank thats b then� s properly going to put money with that bank thats b then what erly , then thats fine. Then what youve seen here is a management that has seriously devalued not just the costs of the value of this bank, but actually the reputation of britain as a good place to carry out its Financial Affairs. All right. Good stuff. Justin, thank you very much. Justin Urquhart Stewart director, stewart there, the co director, founder right founder of regionally right now.

But weve loads on the weve got loads more on the agenda course is not just agenda and of course is not just bofis agenda and of course is not just Boris Johnson here, thats for sure. We are going to be talking a the bbc a little bit about the bbc because, you know, they pride themselves, their themselves, dont they, on their impartiality. Virtue impartiality. They make a virtue out good grief. But some out of it. Good grief. But some have it Gold Standard have called it the Gold Standard for theyve got to be for the bbc. Theyve got to be deeply impartial. All the time. Ijust deeply impartial. All the time. I just dont think they know how to do it. Thats been seriously brought into question. The corporation has admitted to launching a biased attack on gb news and it said that its Newsnight Programme breached its own editorial standards. They decided that it would be in the best interests of the nation to try to give us a right old kicking on newsnight a few weeks ago. Well, the members of the pubuc ago. Well, the members of the public decided to complain about it because it was so obviously an egregiously one sided mp. An egregiously one sided mp. Philip davies says that he received many complaints from his constituents in shipley. His constituents in shipley. Hes now referred the matter to ofcom , which is the media ofcom, which is the media watchdog. Joining me now is bbc watchdog. Joining me now is bbc radio host danny kelly. Danny thank you very much. I mean, hes taking the bbc a little while, but they have actually admitted it. Shock, horror, getting a panel of people on who all agree and think that we should some of should be shut down. Some of them who work for other Media Outlets as well. By the way, at some point someone might have outlets as well. By the way, at somethroughomeone might have outlets as well. By the way, at somethrough thatnne might have outlets as well. By the way, at somethrough that and night have outlets as well. By the way, at somethrough that and thought,e seen through that and thought, oh, the oh, thats a bit biased. The point though, how they point is, though, how do they not that . Does that not not clock that . Does that not just show the level of the bias there . Yeah, well, first of all, patrick, no. One was the bbc were never going find anyone unhinged going to find anyone unhinged enough foxs enough to defend laurence foxs comments. But what they could have to find have easily done was to find somebody, even somebody, maybe even commentators who commentators like myself, who appear on gb news to actually defend the station as as a as an entity rather than just moments of absolute lunacy. They could have done that. Victoria have done that. Victoria derbyshire by the way, patrick, shes got form, you may remember four years ago when donald trump came over to the uk and there was a massive scandal with the 20 foot tall donald trump blimp flying over Central London and back in 2019, Victoria Derbyshire, when she had a Breakfast Show on tv, she actually had a six foot donald trump blimp. Um, like a little trump blimp. Um, like a little mini me if you like. And at the time i thought thats just so biased. Do you realise how deeply offensive that is to people who arent opponents of donald trump . Now the bbc in their sort of smart way, would have been at this and saying, well , look, we know why weve well, look, we know why weve got it in the studio at donald trump blimp, but our is that weve in for context and weve got it in for context and thatis weve got it in for context and that is the subtle bias. But the that is the subtle bias. But the newsnight thing was just a was just give the station a kicking whilst its down and she should have jumped in half a dozen times to have Caroline Nokes , times to have Caroline Nokes, the mp, conflate russia today with the peoples channel. Gb news i thought it was a scandal and i was just waiting for Victoria Derbyshire to journalistically and objectively say, hang on, you cant compare the mouthpiece of putin to gb news. But no, we were left waiting and there was no one to defend gb news remind you, patrick, no one in their right mind was going to defend what fox said. But therell be plenty of people defend entity of people to defend the entity thatis of people to defend the entity that is gb news yeah, no, i mean, i couldnt agree more. Couldnt agree more with i couldnt agree more with it, as Caroline Nokes it, especially as Caroline Nokes as well as we did quite politely point happy point out, was quite happy to appear us. I think im right appear on us. I think im right in saying about eight times until decided that she had until she decided that she had to newsnight and call to go on bbc newsnight and call for it to be shut down. Adam boulton good grief, boulton i mean, good grief, saying return to saying ill return to return to the delicate broad cast of media ecology. Is. And we ecology. Yeah, there is. And we want a through want to punch a hole through that because people are sick of it. The donkey it. So thats the point donkey for pointing out the nation. And on a regional level, pat, i years in the west i spent 18 years in the West Midlands and its subtle on midlands and its more subtle on a regional level, but if you look for it, its there and look out for it, its there and its very conspicuous. I remember you may remember the 2018 2019 bottleneck trying to get brexit through parliament when Boris Johnson oh, danny, weve lost danny, but there we go. Danny kelly there at bbc radio host so look, yeah, were going to be coming back to that because hes right, and especially at a local level, i will never forget. I will never forget the way that the bbc dealt the telford grooming, dealt with the telford grooming, which that moment in time was which at that moment in time was the largest grooming gang the uks largest grooming gang scandal. Had to look at that scandal. You had to look at that not the National News site. Not on the National News site. You go to their local news site, their shropshire segment, their shropshire news segment, and go about 3 or and youd have to go about 3 or 4 stories that 4 stories down. That was a massive story. They they will deny they tried cover it deny that they tried to cover it up. I wouldnt suggest they tried to cover it up, but certainly give it certainly they didnt give it due prominence. There due prominence. Is there not a bias and before bring bias there . And before i bring danny right, what im danny back. Right, what im going is just show going to do is just show a little clip for you because the bbc also in hot water at the bbc are also in hot water at the moment over whats been going on in the middle east abroad with israel and hamas. Right. Israel and with hamas. Right. And refusing to and theyve been refusing to call a terror group. They call hamas a terror group. They also badly wrong over also got it badly wrong over that that explosion at that attack or that explosion at a hospital in gaza, didnt they . The bbc, straight off the back of it, it was israel. Well, the of it, it was israel. Well, the israelis have spoken out. Israelis have spoken out. Good evening from london. Here are some news from the war in gaza. Israel has bombed a hospital, killing hundreds of innocent people. More, more , innocent people. More, more, much better. With more details, much better. With more details, our middle east correspondent harry white guilt. Good evening, rachel. From good evening, rachel. From the illegal colony of tel aviv, israeli official has denied bombing the hospital , but we bombing the hospital, but we have video footage showing what really happened. Really happened. Yeah, there we go. That went on a fair bit longer. You can go check that out online. All right. Okay so are we bringing danny back, do we think we can . Yeah. Danny kelly joins us now. Look, this sums it up. The bbc essentially now being laughed essentially is now being laughed at from abroad on an issue that they are supposed to get. Absolutely right and really earn their money. International affairs. Affairs. Yeah. Make no mistake, patrick, the bbc management allow this bias to flourish because they deep down agree with certain geopolitical stories. When i was broadcasting across the West Midlands, my earlier point was that in the 2019 bottleneck, when we couldnt get brexit through, i would regularly be driving to work in the morning listening to the eight and the 9 00 news and the eight and the 9 00 news and the news would be very anti brexit and it would it would never be balanced and this is what were talking about today. The lack of balance. Now. Victoria derbyshire no doubt has very views on on very strident views on on remaining in the European Union. I think thats obvious. As i think thats obvious. But as a reporter a journalist, reporter and as a journalist, whats important to whats important is to objectively , journalistically objectively, journalistically take the other side and challenge them. And thats the challenge them. And thats the great thing about gb news on a sunday with nana akua, i know how nana feels about certain stories, but she pushes back robustly when someone has an opinion. And thats whats great opinion. And thats whats great about the peoples channel. And honestly, the bbc honestly, patrick, the bbc should take a leaf out of our book. Thank you very much, danny. Look, pleasure to have look, its a pleasure to have you. Absolutely. And thank you very much for on. Very much for coming on. Its danny hes an ex very much for coming on. Its danrradio hes an ex very much for coming on. Its danrradio host. Hes an ex very much for coming on. Its danrradio host. Look, s an ex very much for coming on. Its danrradio host. Look, i. An ex very much for coming on. Its danrradio host. Look, i willex very much for coming on. Its danrradio host. Look, i will say bbc radio host. Look, i will say the bbc genuinely does do a heck of a lot of good work, right . No one can that. It is an one can deny that. It is an institution and, you know, they will obviously deny that they have ramp up behind have a massive ramp up behind the scenes bias. No doubt. But they have admitted bias in this case when the reporting on us. So up, the rugby racism so coming up, the rugby racism row a white player claims that he was racially abused by a black well is it as black opponent. Well is it as simple as that . Patrick christys gb britains news the Camilla Tominey show sunday mornings from 930 on gb news as. Well. News as. Well. England bosses have hit out after world rugbys decision to close its investigation into the alleged racist slur at last sundays semi final game , world sundays semi final game, world rugby did not continue investigations into the alleged verbal abuse directed at tom curry from borghini mbonambi due to insufficient evidence and Unexpected Development, the rfu revealed that it disclosed to the inquiry that curry had also been the victim of the same abuse from the same player when the rivals clashed at twickenham last november. Well, joining me last november. Well, joining me to discuss this now is sports journalist harry harris. Harry thank you very much. Great to have you on the show. I cant help but feel as though theres perhaps been a little bit of a rush to no judgement here. Maybe and whether theres slightly double standards in the world of sport. Whats your take . Oh, i go along with double standards in the world of sport, for sure. Patrick, you know, for sure. Patrick, you know, this just about rugby. Its about football. Its about most sports. You know, theres not enough multi cultural, multi racist racism within in boardrooms, within people who are administrators in sport. And this is just a typical example where, you know, world rugby are saying insufficient evidence. Clearly there was evidence , clearly there was evidence, there is evidence and more evidence being supplied by the rfu and you know, to sweep all this under the carpet as theyre doing is just appalling. And its interesting. Its interesting. Yeah. Just to say because do you think this is being swept under the carpet, harry . Do you think thats what this is . Theres been swept under the carpet. Indeed. Course it is. I mean, oh, of course it is. I mean, you know, we see this all the time football. Know , time in football. You know, players taking the knee , you players taking the knee, you know, has become sort of outdated. It has no purpose. You outdated. It has no purpose. You know what what sport needs, what football needs, what rugby needs is more involvement in on the highest possible level. People who are making these kind of decisions. You know, its just its just not right. Its appalling. And we will see appalling. And we will see eventually in football, you know, the government had to have to step in and have a review about how the game is run. And if theyre not careful in rugby, the same will happen to them because this is just not going to accepted. To be accepted. I mean, the rfu , which is our i mean, the rfu, which is our body here, has said world rugby is undertaken a review of allegations made by englands tom relation to the use tom curry in relation to the use of discriminatory language. They of discriminatory language. They go on to say that that you know, theyre incredibly disappointed by this. They dont think theyve done enough to speak to tom curry. They dont think theyve enough actually theyve done enough to actually investigate you investigate all of this, you know, racism or alleged racism doesnt just work. One way, does it . And cant help but think, it . And i cant help but think, you know, you look whats you know, you look at whats going on in cricket. Cricket has been institutionally been branded institutionally racist, goodness a racist, for goodness sake. As a result some allegations. I result of some allegations. I mean, nothing like thats happening mean, nothing like thats ha| well,g decision has been well, this decision has been taken in haste, isnt it . I mean, if we go back to something very similar, we had the Anton Ferdinand and john terry case who said what to whom , and lots who said what to whom, and lots of evidence was produced. It of evidence was produced. It took months, if not a couple of years before that was resolved. Here is taken a couple of minutes. You know, it really is appalling the way that this has been dealt with. And insufficient evidence. I mean, what i mean, whos going to fall for that one, which clearly means is some evidence, means there is some evidence, but they havent bothered but they havent been bothered to enough it. So you to gather enough of it. So you know, get on with the game. Weve got weve got a you know, a play off today and weve got the final coming up shortly. They know about they dont want to know about this incident. You know, this kind of incident. You know, they want to know about they dont want to know about racism in generally in sport. They dont want to know. Racism in generally in sport. The okay,� t want to know. Racism in generally in sport. Theokay, harry, to know. Racism in generally in sport. Theokay, harry, thank w. Racism in generally in sport. Theokay, harry, thank you very, okay, harry, thank you very, very much. That is, of course, sports royalty. Uh, sports journalist, royalty. Uh, harry harris there.

But Boris Johnson joining gb news a great news is obviously a great signing us. Hes well known, signing for us. Hes well known, just you recognise just like you would recognise a brand, isnt it . Brand boris so who better to speak about than an expert in this field is brand expert tessa hartmann. Tessa thank you very, very much. Look, im keen to get your views on this. Really . From. From brand boris. First of all. But then, well, you know, weve got a brand here at gb news, havent we . Do you think this will be good for boris . How do you see this going . Look, i think this great look, i think this is great for boris. Its great for gb news. Its great for gb news. Doesnt matter what i it doesnt matter what i think boris. Think about boris. Is essentially become boris is essentially become a modern hes an modern day influencer. Hes an ex Prime Minister. He brought 14 Million People to the polls at the election. Hes got the last election. Hes got almost 4 million followers on twitter. Hes got nearly 2 million on instagram. Hes a voice authority. Hes a voice of authority. Hes a voice of authority. You him or not. Whether you like him or not. Hes going to bring viewers to you, hes got that teflon skin and hes got that teflon skin whereby doesnt matter about whereby it doesnt matter about all his self inflicted dramas. All his self inflicted dramas. Theyre there, almost theyre almost there, almost cadash esque, isnt it . And i think thats his appeal. And as i say, it doesnt matter what i think of him. He has an incredible draw and he has an incredible draw and he has incredible on the has an incredible player on the global stage. And i think its about a voice of influence and its coming to you. And i have to say, you probably knocked it out the park compared to your compared hitters. Well, well, we certainly hope so. It so. Clearly. I do think it speaks volumes. You know, its another for anyway , another example for us anyway, that twitter social media is that twitter and social media is not real life right. Its very not real life right. Its very easy to get swept away with, you know, the snivelling chattering classes view of, you know , classes view of, you know, snobbish views. I think at times of other people think this about you. Well, its not the case, you. Well, its not the case, actually. People go out and about a little bit more. They do tend to love gb news and they like what do, whether they like what we do, whether they agree everything they agree with everything that they say is one thing, say on the channel is one thing, but they like the fact that we have these kind of discussions and the fact that Boris Johnson has here when he could have has come here when he could have gone speaks gone anywhere, i do think speaks volumes could this be volumes of it. Could this be a good launch pad for him, though, do if looking to do you think, if hes looking to get into politics . Get back into politics . I suppose if you were advising him, youve got to him, would you say youve got to get a tv talk to get yourself a tv show, talk to the nation . You know, absolutely. Look, everybody is watching about what boris was going to do next. You know, where will he go . He do . Anybody go . What will he do . Anybody who underestimated go . What will he do . Anybody who underestim. Passion. Boris is passion. Boris is passion. Hes ambitious. Hes hes an egotist. Successful people are egotists. You could even say hes of a narcissist list. Hes a bit of a narcissist list. We can all critique boris, but bofis we can all critique boris, but boris hes boris has delivered. Hes disappointed but he disappointed many people. But he has he holds in has delivered. And he holds in incredible on the global incredible weight on the global stage. Think from gb news stage. And i think from gb news perspective , his little black perspective, his little black book super impressive. Book must be super impressive. I mean, the amount people hes mean, the amount of people hes going to bring to the table is going to bring to the table is going great. So as i say, going to be great. So as i say, it doesnt matter whether you love him. He is here love or loathe him. He is here to stay. And this is to to stay. And this is going to work boris as it is work as much for boris as it is for you, because i have no doubt hes got many plans under there. Look, absolutely. Dont oh, look, absolutely. I dont think under any think anyones under any illusions about that. You know, this there be it this is this is there will be it will be there for him as much as it for no doubt. And as it is for us, no doubt. And as much for our viewers as well. What do you think it about what do you think it is about boris . Got this boris . Right. Hes got this really like ability in a really weird like ability in a sense, because he was born into privilege, i suppose. Not that that matter, that should matter, but i suppose context of modern suppose in the context of modern society does eat educate society it does eat and educate it. Oxbridge, that stuff. It. Oxbridge, all of that stuff. And yet for some you and yet for some reason you plonk him in the middle of preston a rainy tuesday night preston on a rainy tuesday night and come out the and people come out of the working clubs they working mens clubs and they want to have a pint with him. Its weird, isnt it . It is weird. I i dont think it is weird. I think in branding about think in branding its about embracing imperfections. Embracing your imperfections. Bofis embracing your imperfections. Boris imperfections boris embraces his imperfections as he is dishevelled , he is as he is dishevelled, he is unruly, he is a disrupter. He is an instigator. He has flaws. We all have flaws. The nation has flaws. And unfortunately , when flaws. And unfortunately, when somebody comes into a position of power and they become Prime Minister every single flaw is put upon the table to be analysed and boris, he wears it. He says it with his chest. He is who he is. You either love him or you loathe him, but hes passionate about britain. Hes passionate about britain. Hes passionate about britain. Hes passionate about his opinions and he loves history. You and he he loves history. You know, if you look at his background his love of background and his love of historical doctrines , we are historical doctrines, we are defined by history. People dont read enough history. But hes got a voice. And the voice right now, people are disenfranchise sized with other broadcasters. They feel let down with media. But boris has that voice. And i think that social media will play think that social media will play a big part because the new generation are going to be watching. Boris soundbites. What does say about the does boris have to say about the election next year is seismic. You know, weve got, know, you know, weve got, you know, political all over political instability all over the world. People will be tuning in out what boris in to find out what boris thinks.

So maybe were taking on maybe maybe were taking on a bit of a risk here. What do you think . Look, i think Everybody Knows what you just is true. What you just said is true. I think the majority of people, if you were to them now, you were to pull them right now, are yes, we believe are going to say yes, we believe he lied. But to a lot of people, that makes him normal. You know, what was rationale for his what was the rationale for his lie . It for the good of the lie . Was it for the good of the people . Was it not . Was it just a delicious lie .

All the best analysis, all big best analysis, all the big opinion, breaking opinion, all the latest breaking news before five news now coming up before five rishi said that hes rishi sunak has said that hes going to the uks asylum going to reduce the uks asylum backlog and use hotels. Backlog and the use of hotels. But a group of mps say that his plan unrealistic. Be plan is unrealistic. Ill be talking and we do talking about that and we do gear dont we, another gear up, dont we, for another other weekend mayhem on other weekend of mayhem on the streets protests streets with protests due to take place, were looking at the rise hate crimes. What can rise in hate crimes. What can the police clamp down the police do to clamp down patrick gb news is Patrick Christys gb news is britains News Channel Co weeknights from. Six newman co weeknights from. Six newman mps have branded the governments own plans to cut the asylum backlog incomplete and unrealistic as they warn efforts to do so will only worsen the crisis. Hard to see how they could get much worse, though, isnt it . Accounts it . The Public Accounts Committee has warned that adequate safeguards are not in place against the place to protect against the risks Vulnerable People and risks of Vulnerable People and that genuine may not that genuine claimants may not have their application viewed properly. The report also claims properly. The report also claims that the home office has no credible plan to end the use of hotels for migrants and faces a huge challenge to meet rishi sunak do so. Quite sunak pledge to do so. Quite a lot to unpack here. Firstly i think that theyre talking about whether Vulnerable People could slip through the net. I find that hard to believe , just given that hard to believe, just given that hard to believe, just given that at the moment it seems that were waving through or plan to wave through the vast majority of people. So why wouldnt we way through the vulnerable ones as well. Okay and i do also wonder as well, comes to wonder as well, when it comes to the credible for shutting the credible plan for shutting margaret , well, the margaret hotels, well, the governments Just Announced is going close 50 of them. So going to close 50 of them. So what does that mean . It what does that mean . Is it pppi9 what does that mean . Is it popping new in other popping up new ones in other places . Not quite sure. The places . Im not quite sure. The mood music seems to have changed on of on this in the last couple of days. Kevin saunders joins me now, immigration now, former chief immigration officer border force. Now, former chief immigration officergreat border force. Now, former chief immigration officer great to order force. Now, former chief immigration officer great to have force. Now, former chief immigration officer great to have you e. Now, former chief immigration officergreat to have you on the kevin, great to have you on the show. Yeah, first things first. Theyre the theyre saying that the government no credible government has got no credible plan to the asylum plan to reduce the asylum backlog, channel backlog, 30 fewer Channel Crossings least crossings at double, at least double, amount double, i think the amount of Home Office Staff dealing with the claims. So whats Home Office Staff dealing with the claims. So whats going on there . There . Oh, its ridiculous what what theyre saying. Theyre saying. I mean, its 55 hotels that are going to be closed. And as are going to be closed. And as you correctly say , the home you correctly say, the home office have doubled the number of people doing the assessments for the alleged migrants. So the government has a plan. So the government has a plan. They what theyre going to do is theyre going to open up to xref bases and theyve got the stockholm as well. Thatll give them about 4500 places and theyre going to shut 55 hotels, which will no doubt please the people in those areas. People in those areas. So im not quite sure where the Public Accounts Committee are coming from on this one. Did the Public Account Committee might just want to slay anything . I mean, the fact is that i would argue anyway, that the pubuc would argue anyway, that the public should have a look at the way that the accounts have been handled and think that this is an utter disgrace. And in fact, if anything, the public have been too considerate about been far too considerate about all this. Million a day on all of this. £8 million a day on hotels alone. Before hotels alone. Thats before weve into some of the weve got stuck into some of the other additional costs. That is not away any time not going to go away any time soon. £35 million worth of taxpayers money in just one london borough on new accommodation that can only be used to house Asylum Seekers. You play that tape fonnard when the figures land about the reality of nationwide councils , reality of nationwide councils, the amount of money they are spending only on accommodation for Asylum Seekers and refugees. People will will be enraged about all of that. The Public Accounts Committee should be caring about that , shouldnt they . They should indeed. They should indeed. And youre quite right, patrick. And this is something that unfortunately people arent commenting on, because the quicker that the home office decide whether some somebody is going to be allowed to stay well of course, 90 of them are allowed to stay because we cant send them back. And thats another argument. So once theyve got limited leave to remain or leave to remain , they remain or leave to remain, they are no longer the responsibility of central government. So of central government. So effectively theyre told to get out of the hotels and go along and see the local authority who are then responsible for housing them. Just like you or me. If we were made homeless. Exactly. And then the human Rights Groups and the charities and all of this stuff, they get on the local councils and on to the local councils and local like they do now, local Councils Like they do now, want be centre of refuge. Want to be a centre of refuge. They want to be a great place. They want to be a great place. They want to be a great place. They want to be all lovely, happy clappy and be able to say, look to look at what were doing to house the refugees. But the reality that they cannot just reality is that they cannot just absorb 500 young men wallop in one you they cant. One go. Here you go. They cant. Because could that because if they could do that and theyve got Homeless Veterans on the streets or theyve single mums theyve got young single mums living containers living in shipping containers like got ealing, like theyve got in ealing, weve the run from weve got people on the run from domestic violence, living in shipping alongside shipping containers alongside drug dealers and all sorts, which we do right here in this country. 50 minutes from where im now , if youre im sitting now, if youre telling me that youve the telling me that youve got the Housing Stock to suddenly be able you know, 500 able to absorb, you know, 500 blokes whove just rocked up on your doorstep, then im sorry, but you been doing the but what have you been doing the whole time . Well, thats thats well, thats it. Thats completely i think completely right. And i think one of the local authorities i cant remember which one it was reached , he said theyre reached, he said theyre spending 25 of their income. Spending 25 of their income. Kevin, across you, im afraid. Im really sorry to interrupt you. Weve got a bit of breaking news. Sorry. Kevin saunders, though, chief immigration though, former chief immigration officer border force. Im officer at uk border force. Im going ask, curiously, going now to ask, curiously, editor white in tel editor mark white is in tel aviv. Mark me now. Now. Aviv. Mark joins me now. Now. And i understand that there has been an airstrike in tel aviv, mark. Yes. Mark. Yes. Yeah, you can. I dont know if you just heard that, but explosions in the distance there, the third major and more explosions there. The third major airstrike in tel aviv today. So far , our alert system today. So far, our alert system has been going off. You can see well just show you basically this here on the telephone. You can see now and the alerts going again all over tel aviv. Not our area. Its an incredible system. Area. Its an incredible system. The iron dome. So this very central area of tel aviv that were in hasnt alerted us to go to the shelter just yet. But that could happen any second. All around us and all the other suburbs here in tel aviv, those alarms are going off. People are going to the shelter. And as i say, weve been hearing the thunder there, the sonic boom of the iron dome system springing into action. The missiles going off, reaching super sonic speed and then connect ing with the rockets that are coming in. It is absolutely clear that hamas now has a determination to go after the biggest Population Centre in israel to go after for tel aviv. We have now had seven major rocket barrages us into tel aviv in just two days. Now and we earlier today saw an apartment block that was struck by a rocket that was not intercepted by the iron dome. That four storey apartment block, the top storey of that was obliterated in effectively apart from the front facade for people were injured in that incident. And then yesterday day, another building also struck, but no one injured in that particular incident. So as i say , you know, this is all i say, you know, this is all going off again in, i think theyre expecting an uptick in theyre expecting an uptick in the kind of activity thats coming from hamas. But it shows it absolutely shows. Patrick that even though there is very significant action in terms of airstrikes and grounding incursions to try to deal with hamas, they still have a capability t to come after the israeli population and to send these rockets set up over to civilian areas. Mark, stay safe. Thank you very much for the update. It. Very much for the update. It. And we will go back to you. Thats mark white there. Hes our security editor who is in tel aviv where barrages and barrages and barrages are coming in we speak. Look more on in as we speak. Look more on that in a little bit.

Why i think our best days are yet to come and why, on the whole, the people of the world want to see more Global Britain, not less. So join me on gb news for some Great British television. Great british television. Well, there we go. That is bofis well, there we go. That is Boris Johnson, who you will be seeing lighting up your Television Screens in a variety of different forms. So hes going to be doing election coverage for our election, for the us election. Hes going to be doing a series of shows for us, as well as potentially audience based shows. So watch this space thats all coming your way in the new year. Im going to delve into the inbox now. Gotten cracking, emails sent, range of views, a range of views. Thats why we love the gb news viewers. Was very news viewers. I was very disappointed to note that youve recruited johnson, says recruited Boris Johnson, says terry, time supporter terry, as a one time supporter of conservative party, i was of the conservative party, i was very disappointed boriss very disappointed in boriss premiership he completely premiership when he completely wasted of an wasted the opportunities of an 80 wasted the opportunities of an so terry, wasted the opportunities of an 80 terry, you can 80 seat majority. Terry, you can now come and put those views to him. You see that email address there . The one youve used . There . The one that youve used . Well, boris sits in the well, when boris sits in the seat that im in now, seat that im sitting in now, theyll probably give him a throne. Be honest, went throne. Lets be honest, we went off the cheap on that. Im in. But he sits in the seat but when he sits in the seat that in now, he will have that im in now, he will have the in front of him. He the inbox in front of him. He will be able to read your views. You will that. And so he you will have that.

He didnt do enough to cut down he was to stop the boats. He didnt do eno big to cut down he was to stop the boats. He didnt do eno big on cut down he was to stop the boats. He didnt do eno big on the down he was to stop the boats. He didnt do eno big on the netn he was to stop the boats. He didnt do eno big on the net zero he was to stop the boats. He didnt do eno big on the net zero agenda. Too big on the net zero agenda. So look, you will have a lot to go at with Boris Johnson here, but his views matter, though, dont hes going to be dont they . Hes going to be interesting listening. And again, to, again, you know, we wanted to, like i said, disrupt that broadcast media ecology. And that certainly we are that is certainly what we are doing. This is a man whos doing. And this is a man whos always red wall and hes always got the red wall and hes got what its like to out got what its like to be out of the westminster bubble. Fact, the westminster bubble. In fact, he probably would have preferred he probably would have preferred he out the he was always out of the westminster bubble. I dont think have gone if he think he would have gone if he was. And so those are the kind of that we want to appeal of people that we want to appeal to now, very shortly to as well. Now, very shortly im going to be discussing what were see on the were expecting to see on the streets britain over the streets of britain over the weekend, gearing up for another weekend, gearing up for another weekend potentially weekend of, well, potentially what riots, what do you call it, riots, demonstrations. Its the better way putting way of putting it. Demonstrations the of demonstrations on the streets of britain on in the britain as what goes on in the middle shows no signs of middle east shows no signs of abating. The police have been told in no Uncertain Terms that after weekends utter after last weekends utter farce, that words like jihad on the streets of britain, banners like muslim armies, etcetera, theyve got no place in britain. They do not do anything to bring us together. Thats what us closer together. Thats what im going to be watching this weekend. What will the police be doing to clamp down on this . But our security editor, mark white, is for us right now is in tel aviv for us right now and he has got some breaking for news whats going on news us. Mark, whats going on where are . Where you are . Yeah, the 617 here losing count now in just two days has struck tel aviv with a massive barrage of rockets coming over as i speak to you, its a bit ad hoc this, but im just going to show you some footage shot by our head of security here just in the last couple of minutes showing the iron dome Missile Defence system as those missiles went up into the air to intercept these rockets that came in. We heard the sirens sounding all over tel aviv, but its such an incredible system. The iron dome , that it didnt the iron dome, that it didnt actually sound in our particular location because what they do is the radar system is that the israelis have you can tell seconds after these rockets launch that that the you know , launch that that the you know, the rockets themselves have, then what the trajectory of these rockets are. And in those areas where they know the rockets are headed for, they will sound the alert. So this particular district in tel aviv, we were okay. But all around us, the sirens were sounding. You saw there hopefully some of those iron dome Missile Defence systems going up. There is a clear desire now on behalf of hamas to directly target the largest centre of population in israel , tel aviv. And thats why israel, tel aviv. And thats why weve seen seven of these very significant barrages in just a couple of days there. And patrick, it comes on the day of very significant activity with in terms of what israel is doing in terms of what israel is doing in gaza. There was a ground in in gaza. There was a ground in in a raid on central gaza overnight. Also so a sea incursion. Commandos raided gaza incursion. Commandos raided gaza from the sea, took out hamas positions there as we speak, there is very significant heavy bombardment in gaza from artillery, from tank fire, from air strikes and missile strikes. And this what were seeing in tel aviv may well be as a direct response to what is happening in gaza now. Gaza now. Mark, thank you very much. Mark white there, our security editor. Stay safe. Where you are. Look, when i come back, im going to be bringing it back to britain. Really this because weve seen a massive rise in hate crimes against british jews and muslims as well following hate crimes against british jews and outbreak as well following hate crimes against british jews and outbreak of well following hate crimes against british jews and outbreak of the. L following hate crimes against british jews and outbreak of the. L fo|in wing hate crimes against british jews and outbreak of the. L fo|in the| the outbreak of the war in the middle east. Huge hate crimes now on the streets of britain in fact, i dont think its unreasonable to suggest that at times recently the streets of britain have not really looked like or felt like the streets of britain, have they . So how should our police deal with the protests that are planned for this weekend . Theyve been told to down hard on people to come down hard on people chanting words like jihad on the street. Will they . Ill discuss that. On gb news, the peoples. Channel well, we look ahead now to the actions due to take place this weekend on britains streets. The met police says that they will intervene after over any jihad chance during pro palestine protests. This weekend. It comes after theyve revealed theres been another huge increase. And these are the latest figures that landed just a couple of hours ago. All right. So theres another huge increase anti semitic increase in anti semitic attacks as result of the war as a direct result of the war between israel and hamas. Between israel and hamas. Joining me now is former metropolitan Police Officer and author of how to be a Police Officer. Its author of how to be a Police Officer. Its graham author of how to be a Police Officer. Its graham weston. Officer. Its graham weston. Graham thank you very, very much. A massive concern that when the next day or 48 hours, were going to see more things like calls for jihad on the streets of britain, people waving things that look suspiciously like. But were reliably reassured on the isis flag on the streets around the country, marches , the country, marches, demonstrations, criminal damage, all of that stuff. How do the police deal with it now . Theyve had two weeks to get ready for it. Well yeah, they had last saturday, the saturday before. So, again, this is like the third weekend a row third weekend in a row proportionate, balanced policing response. So looking at whats taking place, trying to keep order in place on london streets, thats the key priority for them. For them. It may well be there are some offences that will take place at some over the weekend. Some time over the weekend. Doesnt mean that arrests it doesnt mean that arrests have made at that time. Have to be made at that time. Weve seen already Police Appeals now for information about of about people suspected of offences and the offences last weekend and the weekend so arrest be weekend before so arrest can be made post event. It just depends what happens dunng it just depends what happens during itself and during the event itself and whether and whether its safe and proportionate to step in and take action. At time. At the time. At the time. Looking at some of the youre looking at some of the figures now. There were about figures now. So there were about 170 islamophobic reports reports. Okay in the last week, but theres been 408 anti semitic reports as well. There is a heck of a lot of hate on the streets at the moment. There is a heck of a lot of violence or certainly verbal violence or certainly verbal violence thats taking place at the moment. Weve seen things like them, you know, cornering off the cenotaph, barricading the cenotaph , you know, do you the cenotaph, you know, do you think the police have a duty really to make sure that its not just about the people who go to these protests and these demonstrations, but its how it looks. Its how it looks to the wider public. The wider public dont want to see this rubbish on the streets. On the streets. Right. But again, no, youre right. But again, they have to work in conjunction with other partners. That the with other partners. Is that the cenotaph other statues cenotaph and other statues in london responsibility london are responsibility of local , its working local council, so its working in partnership with them. Not, you know, not thats not, you know, not everything to met everything is down to the met police to agree decide or police to agree and decide or even you know, sometimes even even, you know, sometimes you whats been you have to accept whats been done even knowing. Done without you even knowing. Its happened. You know, local authorities its happened. You know, local autcertain things. Have for certain things. So you have to work youve got in to work with what youve got in front of you. But youre right. The but but youre right. The instance fryston, over instance of fryston, thats over the that wasnt that last the week that wasnt that last saturday saturday or saturday or saturday before or theres in hate theres been an increase in hate crime in the last couple of weeks london. Weeks in london. Is a concern for the that is a concern for the police. There are officers now regularly patrolling synagogues and mosques, etcetera, trying to reassure the members of those communities safe communities that there is safe in but concern in their areas. But huge concern that this increase of crime think i think people i think the initial pro palestine protest that took place, you know , that took place, you know, everything was very, very fresh. Everything was very, very fresh. And people thought, right, this is a demonstration now. And this is a demonstration now. And then, you know, there was the second one. And that to me seemed bigger and worse in some of the incidents that were taking place there. We had a debatably should be banned radical Islamist Group calling for jihad and muslim armies. Forjihad and muslim armies. Weve had people with placards saying, i fully support hamas, which is of course an actual terrorist organisation. Weve had all sorts going on. You know, and then weve had the Prime Minister standing up and saying, look, we cannot have calls for jihad on the street. So if people are out on the streets now, again calling for you know, holy war or whatever , you know, holy war or whatever, ill just say myself. Graham i dont want to hear the met. Police say weve got specially trained Counter Terror officers there and we can assure you that jihad has many different meanings. Just get them lifted. Meanings. Just get them lifted. I hear what youre saying, patrick, but again, when youre on these events and i have as well, especially trained cps lawyers, the ones that will deal with these cases, who are advising the met, who have actually put statement out actually put a statement out today saying its about the context to context and they have to carefully consider the exact words, carefully consider the position so that careful consideration takes time. So at the time it may not be possible to step straight in and lift while theyre doing lift them while theyre doing it. Comes down to looking at it. It comes down to looking at whats said, the context, whats being said, the context, and , as weve seen and then maybe, as weve seen recently, then arrested him subsequently post event , thats subsequently post event, thats probably lot safer and isnt probably a lot safer and isnt going to escalate any confrontation and cause disorder. Its okay going in hard, as i think you mentioned in your but going hard has has obvious going in hard has has obvious results in implications that actually escalate actually people can escalate violence and confrontation towards the Police Officers and other members the public who other members of the public who may not want be involved in may not want to be involved in this. Graham, thank you very much. Always good graham there, always good Graham Watson there, who is a former met Police Officer how to be officer and author of how to be a Police Officer. He is right that everything is that not everything is responsibility met responsibility of the met police. Absolutely not. Everything responsibility. Everything is a responsibility. But, sometimes maybe but, you know, sometimes maybe we a responsibility to we have a responsibility to behave better and if that behave a bit better and if that isnt then i do isnt happening, then i do expect met police step expect the met police to step in. Right. A reminder to in. Right. Just a reminder to round you off. Im a massive news that at the top of news that london at the top of the today Boris Johnson the show today Boris Johnson has signed gb news. Yes all signed for gb news. Yes all right. I think just to just right. And i think just to just to us into the friday as we to send us into the friday as we would like, we can hear from bofis would like, we can hear from Boris Johnson now, i think. Oh, Boris Johnson now, i think. Oh, no. Oh, sorry. No. Oh well, there we go. Boris johnson is joining gb news. Weve possibly heard enough from him for one day. Anyway, Boris Johnson did announce earlier on that hes going joining to us in the going to be joining to us in the new year to play a key role, a key role in our coverage of both the uk and general election the uk and the general election and elections next year. And the us elections next year. Hes going to create and present a new series showcasing the power of britain around the world. So there we go. I jumped the gun. You will actually be heanng the gun. You will actually be hearing from Boris Johnson on Michelle Dewberry show, which is up next. Thank you very much.
