Next. Get ready for a war. Next. Good evening. Im ray addison in the gb newsroom, and we start with that breaking news. Within the last hour, israels Defence Forces have begun a targeted attack against hamas in the Southern Gaza city of rafah. Now if youre watching on tv, you can see live pictures. The military operation began after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his war cabinet had approved the operation. Strikes are currently being carried out in the east of rafah. Earlier israel ordered a partial evacuation of civilians ahead of this offensive. Mr netanyahu says strikes will increase pressure on hamas to release israeli hostages. This release israeli hostages. This comes after israel rejected a three phase ceasefire deal, which hamas claimed to have agreed with egyptian mediators. An israeli official described the deal as softened and said that it was a ruse intended to make them look bad. However, we understand that israel is sending a delegation to meet with negotiators to try to reach an acceptable agreement. Now, theres been no deal on a ceasefire in gaza since a week long pause in november. Well bnng long pause in november. Well bring you more on this story as we get it now, as weve been heanng we get it now, as weve been hearing students at oxford and cambridge have set up gaza protest camps on their University Campuses , created in University Campuses, created in the early hours of this morning, the early hours of this morning, the protesters are urging their universities to cut financial ties with israel over the countrys offensive in gaza. Similar camps have also been set up at manchester, sheffield, newcastle and london universities. Oxford issued a statement saying that they respect their students and Staff Members right to freedom of expression in the form of peaceful protests. Rishi sunak peaceful protests. Rishi sunak says hes determined to fight and the general election is not and the general election is not a foregone conclusion. The prime a foregone conclusion. The Prime Minister is calling for unity among tory mps , after saying among tory mps, after saying that he believes britain could be heading for a Hung Parliament, that the tories lost hundreds of Council Seats and the West Midlands mayoralty results. Rishi sunak described as bitterly disappointing. But hes saying he wont give up what the independent Analysis Shows that whilst, of course this was a disappointing weekend for us, that the result of the next general election isnt a foregone conclusion and indeed actually is closer than the situation is closer than many people are saying, or indeed some of the opinion polls are predicting. Predicting. And thats why im absolutely determined to fight incredibly hard for what i believe and for the future country that i want to build. And thats what im going to do. Lib dem leader sir ed davey says he will table a motion of no confidence in the government, in an effort to pressure mr sunak to call a june general election. Sir ed claims that the disastrous local Election Results show the country has, in his words, had enough of rishi sunak and his out of touch government. The motion will be tabled when parliament returns tomorrow. And finally, new snp tomorrow. And finally, new snp leader john swinney says tomorrow. And finally, new snp leaderjohn swinney says hell leader john swinney says hell seek to build a coalition of the willing to focus on scotlands problems.

Well, youve seen the totally mentally Coherent Group queers for palestine. Well, get ready for palestine. Well, get ready for the hard hitting and powerful impact of street skaters for palestine. Unity 33 skaters for palestine. Unity 33 is being. Well, now the is being. Well, now the pro Palestine Movement is sweeping campuses across the country. Weve had manchester, newcastle, sheffield, leeds, warwick, swansea and bristol and now oxford and cambridge have succumbed. There are camps being set up outside oxford and cambridge universities. Oxford for palestine published their list of demands. Shall we have a little read through them . So it says disclose all finances, divest from israeli genocide, apartheid and occupation overhaul all the universities investment policy, boycott israeli genocide , apartheid and israeli genocide, apartheid and occupation. Stop banking with barclays and help rebuild gazas education system. Well, its worth noting that the cambridge pro palestine camp spokesman refused to condemn hamas or describe them as a terror group. When questioned by the telegraph. Shall we have a look at some of hamass useful idiots 7 at some of hamass useful idiots . I will be. Free. . I will be. Free. I will be free. I will be free. But over at oxford , 108 but over at oxford, 108 lecturers, faculty members and researchers from multiple colleges have now signed a letter of support. The dons are at it. How do you think jewish or conservative students feel there now . Footage has emerged of a jewish student studying at cambridge being shoved around and having the israeli flag pred and having the israeli flag ripped away from him. By ripped away from him. By come on. Hey you are sir. Well done. Well done. Well done. So that is just totally tolerated on campus now, isnt it . Im surprised they had time to fit that into their day, though, because there is a busy schedule which they published. 8 am. Camp opens, playlist a. M. Camp opens, playlist begins. 9 am. De escalation training for all campers. 11 training for all campers. 11 am. Community guidelines a. M. Community guidelines reading of demands 1 pm. A. M. Community guidelines reading of demands1 p. M. Lunch, reading of demands 1 pm. Lunch, followed by banner making 3 pm. Rally 6 pm. Dinner funded by, you guessed it, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Then 7 to 9 pm. Camp community stall. Solidarity campaign. Then 7 to 9 pm. Camp community stall. And p. M. Camp community stall. And oh yeah, the news and reflection. That was at 8 pm. Yeah. Anyway, theyre clearly planning on being there for a long time because theyve set up an emergency toilet. I mean, i imagine thats absolutely overflowing because most of these students are full of. Anyway. Tory mp miriam cates speaks for many when she says the blairite aspiration to send half of all young people to university has backfired spectacularly , spending three spectacularly, spending three years detached from the real world, spending someone elses money is not always the best start to adult life. Academic learning and common sense are not the same thing. Theyve got masks on their faces because theyre worried about being identified in case they get arrested or kicked out of university, or it harms their future job prospects. A strong indication that even they realise that they might grow out of this nonsense one day. But listen closely to what some of these people are saying in the us movement set off a global chain of reaction, and were so excited to be a part of that. And thankful to the us encampments for what they began. Although the us and the uk have different contexts, the uk government is similarly complicit in israeli war crimes. And so too are our institutions of higher education. So we learned a lot from them in terms of our demands, how to engage with our governments and how to mobilise students. Mobilise students. Interesting accent there. And now this one. Also know that the university of oxford, through its investments, through its moral statements and through its business partnerships and academic partnerships, is directly complicit in the genocide in gaza and in the Israeli Occupation and apartheid i another interesting accent. I mean , they think theyre in mean, they think theyre in america, dont they . They think theyre part of that movement. The only thing more annoying than americans loudly navigating the London Underground is americans coming to our universities and kicking off on campus. Theyve looked at these cratons and taken inspiration. Its an ending until our demands are met. Should we take down the tents . No our responsibility to figure it out. We the students, have given you our demands. We have. We have organised here together and we are not leaving until you figure it out. Figure it out. One of the earlier clips was put out by the socialist workers party, and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign is involved. These same people are always involved, whether its protesting about a migrant bus going to the bibby stockholm, whether its the environment, whether its the environment, whether its the environment, whether its outside school gates, its the same groups of agitators every single time. Now agitators every single time. Now ive got a solution. Tell these students that if they take part in pro palestine protest, their student loan will be revoked. Well soon find out how many of them are actually students and how many of them are rent a mob. Jobless activists. But before jobless activists. But before i get the thoughts of my panel, let me bring in charlie woods. So charlie is a legal student in oxford and he was down at the protest today. Charlie, thank you very much. Now, i understand that youre working to try to stop this occupation , arent stop this occupation, arent you . Whats going on . Well, our primary role is really just to support students and help them understand what their options are. Its actually very difficult, for students to be able to use, particularly the legal system , to defend their legal system, to defend their rights, if they want to issue things like, complaints to the university that can be effective. However, they require a listening ear. And the vice chancellor of Oxford University so far , seems to not be doing so far, seems to not be doing very , very much. Okay, what kind very, very much. Okay, what kind of stuff is he hearing, though . This is. What kind of stuff are you hearing, charlie . What kind of stuff is the university potentially ignoring , so mainly potentially ignoring, so mainly its students, being, isolated and ignored, very , very, you and ignored, very, very, you know, dismissive of anything to do with, comments about, inappropriateness of anti semitism, and so forth. So its, its not easy for students to be able to exercise their rights, and defend themselves. What does a student do, for example, if, all their classmates ignore them, as has happened, particularly after october 7th, what happens if, rhetoric on Public Forums or at jcrs , becomes very intimidatory, jcrs, becomes very intimidatory, and very, very, nasty and vicious. Its really a major fail of, failure of education. No it is. And just to clarify, charlie, without, you know, giving anything away that might identify you, you mentioned a couple of examples there. So so students at oxford who presumably are pro israel are being given the silent treatment and ignored. Are they by some of their classmates . The general rhetoric behind the scenes is what overwhelmingly pro palestine. Are there any, you know, other examples of just whats going on behind the curtain here at these universities, these prestigious universities, these prestigious universities , ill give you one universities, ill give you one particular example ive heard of. I have heard of, a student asking for, their professor to remove all zionists from the classroom, which is, is something that has been told to me. It is, something that ive heard and, you know , students heard and, you know, students are very, very reluctant to come forward and challenge these kind of, these kinds of incidents because, first of all, they have to go through their entire degree, and, you know , coming degree, and, you know, coming forward with coming forward with a complaint, particularly if its against a lecturer or an academic, can be extremely , academic, can be extremely, risky for them personally. And also if they want to pursue a career in academia, they will require references. So there is there is a lot of internal, failure to, to sort of prevent intimidation. Look, charlie, thank you very, very much. And we will talk again on this and, yeah. Talk again on this and, yeah. Good luck with everything that youre doing. Charlie woods there is working in law in oxford. Right. Okay, look, lets get the thoughts of my panel this evening. I am joined by senior Political Correspondent at the daily express. Its at the daily express. Its christiane karg. I have also got the anarchist and academic Lisa Mckenzie and the founding chairman of Global Britain uk, ammon berger, look, christine , ammon berger, look, christine, ill start with you. What were seeing on campus is here is quite astonishing. I think really . Really . Well, it is, but universities have always been hotbeds of left wing ideologies. I think the wing ideologies. I think the problem is combining a student naivety with what is increasingly becoming an escalation of protests tactics. The problem is, the more people get used to the extreme tactics that have been used by Extinction Rebellion, just stop oil. They have to go above and beyond to get media and social media attention. I think theres also a been a massive expansion of narcissism amongst young people. You always hear this , people. You always hear this, and i dont want to blame her specifically, but it did seem to start with greta thunberg, which is that younger and younger people not just expecting a right to have an opinion, but the right or, you know, a belief that their opinion should then be completely taken on board and enacted without , you know, like enacted without, you know, like theyre the sole arbiter of whats whats right in the world. And i think thats what i cant stand. Lisa, these protesters outside the universities, i mean, just take a student loan offer. No you say you get in all this wrong, patrick. Its wrong. Dont think these are not working class students. These are middle class. These are probably very wealthy students. And especially if theyre at oxford and cambridge , theyre at oxford and cambridge, theyre at oxford and cambridge, theyre not likely to be working class students take their Student Loans off them. Mum, theyre mums and dads will be paying theyre mums and dads will be paying for everything. You know , paying for everything. You know, working class students dont have this sort of luxury beliefs because theyre probably working full time jobs, studying full time and worrying about their communities and families. This communities and families. This stuff is its luxury beliefs by students that have got time and money to have them. And so, you know, dont dont mix these people up with with i think i think one thing that i will say is i remain unconvinced as to actually how many of these people will turn out to be genuine students , because having genuine students, because having been to a number of protests not dissimilar to this now , it dissimilar to this now, it appears to be a lot of the same faces and a lot of the same groups that are behind it. I suspect a man that there are agitators there who are, whether theyre paid or not, i dont know, but they make a career out of doing this. But why doesnt the government clamp down on this . Why dont the police get get to the core of those agitators . Well, weve seen already a large numbers of two tier policing, patrick and this is again indicative of that. But as you said, i think as weve seen in the us, a lot of people in the us are already reporting, these tent cities that are cropping up in, you know, in berkeley and yale and harvard and columbia , theyre harvard and columbia, theyre sharing very much of the same colour, same brand tents, for example. And a lot of people are saying that the biggest donors to this agitator, through the fringe elements, to these cranks, as my panellists would say, are some of joe bidens biggest donors. And you have to look at the, the, the money that is coming in and its being repeated in other democracies in the world. This is a disruption. Have you have you noticed , have you have you noticed, though, that theyre not its not its not at salford university. Its not where i work at the university of bedfordshire, which is mainly got working class students. This is all elite university is this is all elite university is this is not a manchester met. You know, its not at the ex police. I think one of the concerns for me though, christine, is that oxford, for example, 108 lecturers and other University Staff have signed a letter supporting this stuff and i find that very concerning that this is running right through academia. Academia. Yeah, i dont think its not the first time in my life ive seen incredibly stupid left wing academics actively support wing, policies that would either harm their jobs or harm the institutions they work for. I mean, we saw throughout brexit just how moronic some of these lecturers are. I would just say these are protests at the moment. If they go into the realm of whats been happening in america with occupations of buildings and graffitis, destruction of property , they destruction of property, they all the students involved in those should be out on their legs like that. Yeah. I mean, it will be fascinating to see, you know, were a thunderstorm away from a press conference where theyre begging us for more shelter and food, arent we . But well have to wait and see. Were going to be talking a lot more about this a little bit later on, but look, still to come. Ive got my exclusive interview with lord, president of the privy council, penny morden. Its exactly one year on from the kings coronation when i was doing drill practice on whale island with my reserve unit in the pouring rain every tuesday night was, why am i doing this now i know why it was so. I could hold that sword at the coronation plus, i will ask nigel farage live about the potential socialist coalition from hell involving labour, the snp and the greens. But up next, newly elected Green Party Councillors appear to be absolutely feral. Appear to be absolutely feral. A voice of palestine. Hello hello, hello. Hello, hello. Totally normal stuff there. He also hailed getting a seat as a win for the people of gaza. So should that guy and councillors like him be immediately expelled. The chairman of the National Jewish assembly, gary goes head to head with the co founder of the muslim debate initiative, abdullah al andalusi. And of course, that breaking news tonight is that israel has commenced its attack in rafah. We are going to be taking you live there with live images from the scene, so well keep you right up to date with all of that. As Patrick Christys tonight, right here on gb news. Welcome along to Patrick Christys. Tonight on gb news now, look. Coming up. Are we staring down the barrel of a socialist coalition from hell . But first, should the green partys new pro palestine councillors be expelled, its time for our head to head. And time for our head to head. And the green partys been forced to launch an investigation. After concerns were raised about the behaviour of some of their new pro palestine councillors voted in at the local elections over the weekend. So this was councillor moeen ali celebration after he won in leeds. Hes the voice of palestine. Hello, hello. Hello, hello. Reports have since emerged stating that ali played a pivotal role in the hounding of the jewish chaplain at the university of leeds, rabbi zechariah deutsch, who went into hiding after receiving threats from pro palestine activists because he served with the israeli army. But its not just moeen ali, apparently. Green moeen ali, apparently. Green Party Councillor in bristol, mohammed makkawi, claimed in social media posts that hamass massacre of innocent israelis was an american zionist lie. Another green councillor , imtiaz another green councillor, imtiaz ali, branded zionists as nothing more than common thieves willing to massacre thousands in the process. That was in a Facebook Post last december. So look, tonight i am asking should these candidates be immediately expelled from the green party . Going head to head on this . The going head to head on this . The chairman of the National Jewish assembly, gary mond, and the co founder of the muslim debate initiative, abdullah al andalusi. Gary, ill start with you. Whats your view . Should they be expelled . They be expelled . My view is that anybody in politics of whatever party who advocates any form of violence, has got no place in public life and no place in the Major Political party like the green party. When you shout allahu akbar, i appreciate that means god is great, but it is the shout thats used by Hamas Terrorists and others who kill jews in israel. Allahu akbari if you shout that you have no place in politics until your views on that. Firstly , i think thats firstly, i think thats a quite ridiculous because a lot of sukh padda is what muslims say every time they pray. It means god is great. It is semitic word. Allah is a semitic word. Jesus would have said a word. Jesus would have said a word similar to that and its simply just an exhortation. It simply just an exhortation. It should not be associated with people who commit terrorist acts. In fact, just as we would be anti semitic to blame all jews for the act of israel, it would be also anti muslim to demonise a muslim exaltation of prayer simply because there are some individuals in the world that have used it improperly. Doesit that have used it improperly. Does it change that slightly . Abdullah, when the whole point of him standing is as he says, you know, for gaza and for palestine . Does it, does it palestine . Does it, does it change that . Because, i mean, im not hearing any kind of denunciation of hamas there. So is there a context there when it comes to him shouting that or not . Well, it would appear that his platform is, anti genocide and pro palestinian rights, and he campaigned on that platform to guarantee the rights of british people, presumably to be able to protest free from government harassment , government harassment, demonisation and the attempt to kerb Peoples Democratic rights in the uk to do demonstrations of protests. But as for the issue of him simply presenting his religious beliefs alongside his religious beliefs alongside his his his political campaigning, i mean, no one would complain that kate forbes, who is vocally christian, represents her christian beliefs. Minister for the scottish parliament, that no one would would say, at least on a on the right wing spectrum would say that she should be, limited and restricted or should be condemned for mentioning her. I get what you mean. Christian beliefs. I get what you mean. But unfortunately, people did condemn it. And the whole gay marriage stuff was one of the reasons why initially she was unsuccessful. Well, gary, your your views on this, i mean, the shout of allahu akbar, right. Thats one thing. What do you reckon about the kind of relentless, the pro palestine stuff, the idea that theyre saying, you know, were coming for you. The labour party and all of those things. I think its a real tragedy that local politics has been interfered in by religious fanaticism. That is the tragedy fanaticism. That is the tragedy for our country. And thats the big picture. Big picture. And i really absolutely condemn it. And i really absolutely condemn it. The and i really absolutely condemn it. The involvement of condemn it. The involvement of this. There are far more important local issues that affect constituencies all over the country. And people have beenin the country. And people have been in voting in the elections and to suddenly have the events of 2000 miles away brought into play of 2000 miles away brought into play as an election issue is tragic in our country. And abdullah , its not really all abdullah, its not really all about palestine, is it . We saw very quickly the muslim vogue. Co. Uk issuing a list of 18 demands to the labour leader. One list of 18 demands to the labour leader. One of list of 18 demands to the labour leader. One of those list of 18 demands to the labour leader. One of those was list of 18 demands to the labour leader. One of those was to, list of 18 demands to the labour leader. One of those was to, you know, be bang in favour of shana know, be bang in favour of sharia pensions, for example. I mean, whats all that about . Well, firstly, firstly , well, firstly, firstly, religion doesnt have anything to do about it. Anyone who has any humanitarian bone in their body would feel sorry for the plight of the palestinians. But whats the demand that have been denied their independence for 77 years . Okay under the justification that, jewish europeans have a better right to palestine than native palestinians is, my point is that the arab or the arab jews who came to israel when it was formed, its not jewish european country. Well, who formed who set up the Zionist Movement in the first place . It was jewish europeans, arab jews. Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. This is. And then well go to. When the when the state of israel was established, there was no arab. There wasnt many arab jews in israel anyway. Were talking about who set up the Zionist Movement. It was jewish europeans who argued that they have a superior right, because actually what i am talking about is the potential for a new religious movement within british politics, which is directly relevant to this. And certain things like the shana and certain things like the sharia pensions, for example. So sharia pensions, for example. So that to me seems like a you know, is it is it one step away the natural progression from that . I suppose, would arguably be things like blasphemy laws. And is that what happens when you get more councillors standing and winning on a overtly muslim ticket . Wait shana overtly muslim ticket . Wait sharia is this is a red herring. There are, you know, judaism compliant pensions in the uk, which no one would say, oh, no jewish law has come to the uk. Youd be condemned as an anti semite for that. Rightfully so. So likewise, if people want to voluntarily enter into contractual agreements for pensions, which are just shariah compliant, how is that an issue . If its voluntary, its consensual. No ones being consensual. No ones being forced to it. If other religions get that privilege too, well, its not even a privilege. Its just a simple, basic civil right. So i think bringing religion into this is a big red herring to distract from the issue that british people want to have their rights protected when they are demonstrating and protesting against a genocide happening across the world that britain has been involved with. Gary , in your view, is it gary, in your view, is it really all about palestine . Do you think . You think . No, i think if you look at the 18 requests, the 18 demands from the muslim vote, theres very , very a great deal of very, very a great deal of worry, which i think jews and christians and others will feel alike in the requirement for , alike in the requirement for, legislation to make islamophobia an offence, because i think that its perfectly okay to criticise judaism. Its perfectly okay to criticise christianity. And it must also be perfectly okay to criticise islam in certain situations. So. So do you think then homophobia should be legalised as well then . I dont , i dont believe i dont, i dont believe homophobia should be legal. So then why islamophobia is , so then why islamophobia is, is an issue for you that you think that shouldnt be legalised, but not homophobic . Its not about the criticism of islam. Its the criticism of muslims for being muslim. That is the issue. The term. Thats what simply it means. So. So if we have a definitions of anti semitism that include the criticism of israel, which is ridiculous, right . Then surely we should be for the criticising muslims for simply being muslim and for demonising muslims and scaremongering muslims for simply just wanting the same civil rights as every other people. Parallel to anti semitism is anti muslim hatred, and i totally condemn all forms of anti muslim hatred. Okay, look, guys, can we just park it because we are going to just chat now quickly, albeit. But about the ongoing situation in rafah. So israel invasion of rafah has begun. We have a live shot of it right now. So as we understand it anyway, its a ground invasion. We think it started a couple of hours ago , started a couple of hours ago, ceasefire talks broke down. I think this is quite possibly going to have big consequences here in britain. Again, weve spoken a lot about the councillors. Weve spoken a lot councillors. Weve spoken a lot about some of the protests taking place. Abdullah how do you feel when you see whats going on over here . Well, ceasefire talks havent broken down. Apparently hamas has agreed to the proposal that was that was given to them. And the question now the balls in the question now the balls in the court of, of, Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, who with right wing pressure are told to continue military operations despite any ceasefire agreement hes facing that pressure and most likely he wont care. As he stayed before , wont care. As he stayed before, it wont matter at all to his military campaign, to whatever ceasefire agreement is agreed, gary, is whats going to happen now justified . Now justified . Yes, absolutely. A fundamental requirement of israel is the elimination of hamas to us ever have peace in the region . Hamas has to go , and the region . Hamas has to go, and this is a necessary step taken to ensure that hamas does go. And what happened was when it seemed that hamas was agreeing, they were agreeing with an amended egyptian qatari proposal, which didnt take account of israels requirement for hamas to be removed. Hamas are a symptom of a very long problem. Hamas wasnt there from 1948, the beginning of israel, Palestinian Resistance has been for 77 years, right . Hamas is only some recent. Who do you have to go . Benjamin netanyahu himself argued, was useful for him to deny the palestinians a state. But they do have the issue is, oh, sorry, hamas, theyve got to go. Right. Right. I think that the icc should put arrest warrants for everyone whos participated in genocide and killing civilians, including the Israeli Government and so on. So hamas though. Yeah , well, let the icc issue yeah, well, let the icc issue arrest warrants to everyone and indict them in court if they have nothing to worry , if have nothing to worry, if theyre innocent, they should be arrested. Theyre not anyone whos whos anyone whos ordered the killing of civilians should be arrested. That includes the Israeli Government. More so whove killed far more civilians, including women and children, than hamas ever have. This is a war that was started by hamas. It must be finished. No, it was a war started by israel. A 5060 years ago. Ridiculous. And they have blockade of gaza and they have attacked israel in 1948. They were bombing gaza in may last year. Forget five months before the chris kaba killing jews. Theyve been bombing gaza consistently. Okay. Well, look, we obviously could carry on this on all night. Thank you very, very much. And, hopefully well pick this up again at some point soon. Look, coming up one year on for the coronation, penny morden tells all about how she prepared for that sword bearing marathon when i was doing drill practice on whale island with my reserve unit in the pouring rain, every tuesday night was , rain, every tuesday night was, why am i doing this now i know why am i doing this now i know why it was so i could hold that sword at the coronation. Dont miss my exclusive with the lord president of the privy council. But next, new data suggests that there will be a Hung Parliament at the next general election. Rishi sunak claimed labour, the snp and the greens could get into bed together so just how much should we fear . What would potentially be a socialist coalition from how nigel farage is on and next . Welcome back to Patrick Christys tonight. Coming up, my exclusive interview with penny morden. One year on from the kings coronation. But first, a shocking new poll has revealed that labour would fall short of a majority at the next general election, raising fears that britain could be heading for a socialist Coalition Government with Keir Starmers party propped up with Keir Starmers party propped p by with Keir Starmers party propped up by the snp, the lib dems and the greens. Thats despite rishi sunak today acknowledging a bitterly disappointing local election result, which saw the tories lose nearly 500 Council Seats, as well as the West Midlands mayoral team. Im joined now by gb news star nigel farage nigel, thank you very, very much. What do you reckon about the potential for a socialist coalition of chaos . Socialist coalition of chaos . Its not a poll, its an extrapolation. Theres a very, extrapolation. Theres a very, very big difference. So what the academics thrasher and rollins have done is theyve taken the local Election Results and superimposed that across the whole country, as if there would be a general election. Two flaws be a general election. Two flaws with that. Number one, many of the strongest labour areas in the strongest labour areas in the country werent voting. It the country werent voting. It was much more of a preponderance towards lib dem and certainly conservative areas. And number two, scotland didnt vote and scotland is the wild card because of course, the snp are in a state of complete and absolute meltdown, even worse than the conservatives. I mean, thats saying something. Goodness gracious me. So you know, sunak takes these numbers and replays the 2015 general election, unless you vote for us, therell be a coalition of chaos. Itll be labour with greens, sdp and goodness knows who else. And a vote for reform is a vote for labour. Its the old playbook. It doesnt work as you saw in the blackpool south by election, where the conservative vote was down by 26. The truth is tories have had an absolute disaster and sunak can try and put whatever spin he wants on it. It doesnt wash. Okay, now look, just whizzing it on to a different story. A it on to a different story. A murder victims family has hit out at the home office after it emerged that her killer should have been deported 20 years ago. Oberm moyo is his name. He was jailed for life for stabbing his ex partner percy and cube e with a meat skewer in front of her traumatised young children. After he was sentenced, it transpired that he was an illegal migrant. Hed also had a illegal migrant. Hed also had a string of previous convictions. Nigel is the home office failing, specifically women. Do you think there . No. Its fighting everybody. You know, women are part of it, but its failing everybody, our judges are failing. Everybody we are not putting the interests of our own country first. We think that International Obligations are far more important. Keep the un sweet. Keep the echr sweet. Oh, and by the way, quietly keep the eu sweet. Never admitted. Of course, in public, were much more bothered about International Agreements than we are about protecting the interests of our own people. Yeah, i just wonder when this ends. Really, nigel . I mean, how many more . More us are there out there at the moment . And, you know, theyre reluctant to tell us, arent they . Their government is reluctant to tell us how many criminals are Illegal Immigrants or asylum applicants, etc. You and i have discussed this in private, patrick, havent we . You know, you can fly all you like , getting the data is very, like, getting the data is very, very difficult. And of course , very difficult. And of course, they dont want us to know the truth of the extent of migrant crime. Otherwise they fear there will be a huge electoral backlash. We are being denied the truth. We are being denied the truth. We are being denied the figures. But everybody can see it. Everybody can see it. Every week our newspapers are full of stories like this. And the truth is, it wont end. All the truth is, it wont end. All the while we have conservative and labour governments. All the while we have what are effectively unipart running this country without any courage, any guts, without any conviction, scared of what the left wing mob will say on twitter or whatever else it may be, nothing is going to change, look, nigel, thank you very, very much. That is nigel farage there. Gb news star. Great to have you back, by the way. Looking well after youn the way. Looking well after your, time stateside. So thank your, time stateside. So thank you very much. Look, coming up, sectarian politics in britain is here, and we must not allow it to stay. Stick around at ten to see astonishing clips from some of britains new muslim councillors. A bit like this way to palestine. Hello. Hello. Hello. Yeah, and theres plenty more where that came from. But next, exactly one year on from the kings coronation, i will take you behind the scenes with the woman of the moment. Apart from the queen, of course, its Penny Mordaunt. We were practising not with the crown jewels at the time, but with replicas. Wasnt until thursday we actually got our mitts on the on the real, real thing. Yes, theres plenty of sword chat as well. Dont miss it. This is patrick gb news. This is Patrick Christys. Tonight on gb news. And its a year to the day since the coronation of king charles the third. Apart from the king himself, of course. The stand out performer of that day was Penny Mordaunt. Shes the leader of the house of commons, as well as the lord president of the privy council. She stunned everyone with that remarkable, iconic cape teal dress and her sword carrying skills. Well, she agreed to do an exclusive interview with gb news in the privy Council Office to relive and share some insight into that historic day. What led up to it, and what it meant to her, as well as giving a bit of an insight into what life is like as the privy councils lord president , i was very nervous. President , i was very nervous. I was determined and very excited. But also very nervous. And i think one of the most wonderful things about the whole event was it was this massive team effort, not just the people who were with me in the abbey, but we knew all the rehearsals that had gone on beforehand with the armed forces, that massive procession through london. And we know that it had to be perfect. It had to be absolutely to the to the minute. And thats a lot of pressure. But we were a lot of pressure. But we were all working together and the camaraderie was amazing. And we were practising not with the crown jewels at the time, but with replicas. Wasnt until the thursday we actually got our mitts on the on the real, real thing. And what was that like . It was it was an amazing occasion in particular, because the kings grandchildren were there as well, and they were very impressed with the crown jewels. But we also had rehearsals going on across the country , including the massive country, including the massive procession that happened that was literally replicated , was literally replicated, somewhere out in the sticks. And people were doing that route march to make sure it was absolutely time to perfection. And of course, i had to ask how on earth did she keep that sword aloft for the entire coronation ceremony . No, the sword was very heavy , no, the sword was very heavy, the question i had always asked myself when i was doing drill practice on whale island with my reserve unit in the pouring rain every tuesday night, was, why am i doing this now i know why it was so i could hold that sword at the coronation. So, just, just an amazing day. And actually, the adrenaline of the day just carries you. Carries you through it, i, i learned from rehearsals that on the day i wasnt going to pick the sword up until i absolutely had to. And so the kings armourer carried it for me before i went into the abbey. And i didnt put my heels on until i needed to ehhen my heels on until i needed to either, glad i remembered to do that, but. So, no, you just give that, but. So, no, you just give yourself every, every chance of doing your best performance. But really, on the day , everything really, on the day, everything worked perfectly. And i think it was important to the king that he had this amazing ceremony. It was about a third of it was had been cut out from the 1953 service, but it was still spectacular. Full coronation robes. And i think people would have been disappointed if that wasnt the case, so really amazing spectacle. But he also wanted it to be relevant and modern wanted it to be relevant and modem for the for the nation as it is now. So i think he kept it is now. So i think he kept that role in the full lord president role , perhaps because president role, perhaps because i was a woman and i was i was representing half the nation. So and im glad he did because it was an amazing experience. Was an amazing experience. Mentioned the king there, of course. And what was he like in the build up to the event . Were you in communication with him quite regularly, i imagine, yes, we were. We were rehearsing with the royal family and he just wanted it to go well. And he also so i think recognised that it was obviously it was for him and this important moment in his life , but it was also for the life, but it was also for the nation. And i think that moments like that really do help reconnect ourselves and remember what this country is all about, its , no one was complaining its, no one was complaining that it was an ancient service because it was so relevant to our modern lives. It was about duty and service to each other. And i think thats what the royal family, what they stand for, what they do , that service for, what they do, that service and duty to us, but also all that accompanies them and everything that was on display that day, the armed forces, the church of england, all these Community Groups that are there to help our communities, help help the nation be all it can be. Thats thats timeless, thats completely relevant to today. And i think the royal family , he continues. Because it family, he continues. Because it it does reflect the nation. It reflects. Its not just what we reflects. Its not just what we stand for and our values, but what families go through. When i paid my tribute to , the late paid my tribute to, the late queen, i. I i the thing that really struck me when i was looking back on her life is that she shared her whole life and her family with us, that would have been hugely intrusive, i think she said she she liked going to balmoral because she got to sleep in one bed for six weeks, its hard to imagine what a life is like. I mean, i as mps, we run about all over the place. We do crazy things, but its not for our whole life. And i think that is something that is quite remarkable about our royal family so i think theyre relevant, and weve seen that with, the recent news on the king and the princess of waless health. Its a reflection on of what what families go through. What what families go through. Now. Few Public Servants meet our monarch face to face. More than penny morton. They meet regularly, often weekly. And she shared with me what king charles the man is really like. Well, i think i think people wont be surprised to know that hes completely charming and always calm. And hes also got a really good sense of humour as well. But hes always asking about how things are going, hes, you know , particular hes, you know, particular issues that were, you know, deaung issues that were, you know, dealing with in, in parliament or particular groups who he knows that are having a rough time. Hes always asking after after those people. So he he cares a great deal. And i know that he will have been so pleased to get back to public duties. He will have missed it tremendously. So i duties. He will have missed it tremendously. So i think everyone is really pleased to see him back and i know that he wants to do more. So its a its a been a good week okay. Yes. So thats the first part yes. So thats the first part of my interview with the lord president of the privy council and the leader of the house of commons, Penny Mordaunt, who, it must be said , quite a few people must be said, quite a few people are tipping to maybe be the next conservative leader. I know that there are a lot of mixed views on that. So thats something that no doubt you will all be picking through in gbnews. Com yoursay. This was confined ad i must add to a conversation about it being a year on from the coronation, but there is more of my exclusive interview with penny morton to bnng interview with penny morton to bring you, including her incredibly touching memories of how she feared for the state of britain after the late queens death. Im going to bring you as well, on a slightly different note, all the latest on this bizarre baby bomb scare today. So passengers were left on the tarmac for more than 20 minutes. Despite this threat being reported for cancel takeoff clearance, cancel take off. Clarence, we received some information regarding a bomb threat. Threat. So weve come into possession here gbnews and have extended version of that clip. You will absolutely not believe how long it took for the reaction to come into force there. People on the plane thought there was a bomb on the plane. People in the airport thought there was a bomb in the airport. For what its worth, the actual passengers who were on that plane managed to get another flight, and theyre supposedly landing in london in about five minutes time. So well be quite interesting to see if anyone can interview them when they step foot back on british soil. But next, there has been a deluge of staggering clips featuring newly elected muslim councillors. Muslim councillors. We are coming for you in the general election. Anyone deserve sectarian politics. Has arrived in britain. The genie is out of the bottle. It cannot be put back in. So what are labour and keir starmer going to do about it . Now i have a procession of quite shocking clips to bring you that i think, quite frankly, makes a lot of people very, very scared about the future of britain. Its one thing standing democratically, isnt it . And winning fair play. But what are you really standing for . And how on earth, how on earth are some of these candidates getting around the same vetting procedures that other major parties are made to enforce . Isnt it time that someone looked into them . Its Patrick Christys tonight. We are only on gb news. And now of course, its time for your weather with greg dewhurst. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Whos hello there welcome to your latest weather for gb news. Its becoming drier over the next 24 hours, but with light winds we could see some fog patches tonight developing, and thats thanks to an area of High Pressure moving in, which then stays with us for much of the week. Temperatures are rising, particularly by the end of the week into the weekend. Highs of 24 or 25. In the best of the sunshine this evening time. Still some heavy thundery showers easing away. The rain showers easing away. The rain across south east england also moves out of the way. Most places dry overnight, but that allows some mist and fog patches to form in places under the cloudier skies. To form in places under the cloudier skies. Temperatures cloudier skies. Temperatures holding up though around 10 or 11 celsius. So Tuesday Morning a grey start in places. Still the risk of some light rain and drizzle across central and northern parts of england into southern scotland. But it does brighten up quite quickly for most parts of the uk. Best of the sunshine across southern parts of england and wales. Perhaps 1 or 2 heavy showers developing here later on in the afternoon, temperatures rising to around 20 or 21 degrees a little cooler further north under the cloud, particularly northern ireland. Southern scotland. Here, around about 13 or 14 celsius, a murky start once more on wednesday, but fog patches lifting and then dry for most. Plenty of sunny spells, perhaps some low clouds just lingering around some coastal areas, but feeling warm in that sunshine as temperatures start to lift further and more sunshine on the way to end the week, as well as temperatures rise towards the mid 20s, looks like things are heating up. Boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Its 10 pm. Im Patrick Christies tonight , i mean, hello . Hello. Hello. Hello. Is this a political takeover . Is this a political takeover .

Wasnt until the thursday we actually got our mitts on the on the real, real thing. Is this the woman who should lead the tories into the next election also recounts will take off clearance. Cancel take off clearance, we received some information regarding a bomb threat. I have got the extended shot king audio recording of exactly when what went on at that runway dunng when what went on at that runway during a ba bomb threat. You will not believe your ears. Plus the bombing. Now, now, now, now the bombing. Now, now, now, now we are the people we once decided. Its kicking off on decided. Its kicking off on campus on my panel this evening, im joined by express political guru christi and corgi, founder of Global Britain and anarchist Lisa Mckenzie. Oh yeah, and whats all this about . I have been in a gay bar. I have been in a gay bar. All right, get ready, britain. Here we go. Is the takeover happening. Next . Is the takeover happening. Next . Good evening. Im addison in the gb news room. Israels Defence Forces have begun what theyre calling a targeted attack against hamas in the Southern City of gaza. City of rafah. Now, you can see live pictures for those watching on television. The military operation , beginning after prime operation, beginning after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his war cabinet unanimously approved the operation. Strikes approved the operation. Strikes are currently being carried out in the east of rafah. Earlier in the east of rafah. Earlier on, israel ordered a partial evacuation of civilians. Ahead evacuation of civilians. Ahead of this offensive, mr netanyahu says strikes will increase pressure on hamas to release israeli hostages comes after israeli hostages comes after israel rejected a three phase ceasefire deal, which hamas claimed to have agreed with egyptian mediators. Theres an egyptian mediators. Theres an israeli official described the deal as softened, and said that it was a ruse intended to make israel look bad. However, we understand israel is sending a delegation to meet with negotiators to try to reach an acceptable agreement. But acceptable agreement. But theres been no deal on a ceasefire in gaza since a week long pause in november , students long pause in november, students at oxford and cambridge have set up gaza protest camps on University Campuses. There created in the early hours of this morning, the protesters are urging their universities to cut financial ties with israel over the countrys offensive in gaza. Similar camps have also been set up at manchester, sheffield, newcastle and london universities. Oxford issued a statement saying that we respect our students and Staff Members right to freedom of expression in the form of peaceful protests. Rishi sunak says hes determined to fight and the general election is not a foregone conclusion. The pm is foregone conclusion. The pm is calling for unity among tory mps after saying that he believes britain could be heading for a Hung Parliament. The tories lost hundreds of Council Seats and the West Midlands mayoralty results. Rishi sunak described as bitterly disappointing. But hes saying he wont give up what the independent Analysis Shows that whilst , of course shows that whilst, of course this was a disappointing weekend for us, that the result of the next general election isnt a foregone conclusion and indeed actually is closer than the situation is closer than many people are saying, or indeed some of the opinion polls are predicting. And thats why im absolutely determined to fight incredibly hard for what i believe for and the future country that i want to build. And thats what im going to do. Lib dem leader sir ed davey says hell table a motion of no confidence in the government in an effort to pressure rishi sunak to call a june general election. Sir ed claims the disastrous local Election Results show the country has, in his words, had enough of mr sunak and his out of touch government. The motion will be tabled when parliament returns tomorrow. Well, for the latest stories you can sign up for gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen, or go to gbnews. Com alerts. Straight back to. Patrick. To. Patrick. The local elections have taken place in england. Not that youd know it. Political islam , youd know it. Political islam, i fear, is here. Its the voice of palestine. Hello. Hello thats the Green Party Candidate. I wonder what his candidate. I wonder what his views on net zero are. We will be seeing him on the front line, i imagine, of the next Extinction Rebellion rally, wont we . Hes now under investigation, though, because it turns out that the 42 year old father of three, who works as an accountant and runs a gardening blog, has previously described a jewish chaplain forced into hiding by threats from protesters as a creep and a kind of animal. He also reportedly said that palestine, i. E. Hamas, had a right to fight back in the wake of the october 7th attacks. Well i for1 a. M. 7th attacks. Well i for1 am. Shocked. Lets go to bradford how. Now. Horton. Great. Horton manning heated city ward. Ankola. Ill tell you something here. This is a clear message to starmer. A clear message to starmer. Bradford has rejected labour. Its rejected zionism. And this is a message to you, not shah and imran hussain. We are coming for you in the general election anyway , hes got a nick gibb and anyway, hes got a nick gibb and he won. That stands with he won. That stands with zionism. Were coming after you. Free palestine, free palestine. Free palestine, free palestine. The rumour is hes still going. Actually that is in no way threatening. This video has emerged from burnley, apparently, where again, there was a totally normal reaction to a local election victory in a northern english town. Step forward. The ex conservative councillor , tiger conservative councillor, tiger patel, who started out making videos like this where he wanted to fix up his local community park. Nana he. Gave up his park. Nana he. Gave up his donkey to me. And now hes donkey to me. And now hes graduated to making videos about how he wants to fix up palestine. Assalamu alaikum. Warahmatullahi hi all my muslim brothers and sisters. Im a tiger patel from blackburn in front of the town hall. And i say today , this is not and i say today, this is not my victory. This is palestine. My victory. This is palestine. Innocent people victory. Innocent people victory. Look, hey, maybe im a cynic. Maybe im being unfair. But im not sure this is really all about palestine and gaza. Is it the muslim vote . Co. Uk a movement that we first highlighted months ago on this show, has greeted the local election victories with a list of 18 demands for the labour leader, sir keir starmer. Now, yes , some of those include yes, some of those include things like end military ties to israel and recognise the palestinian state. But they also include stuff like issue guidance that muslims are allowed to pray at school and ensure sharia compliant pensions are available at every workplace. So the one third of muslim people without a pension can get one. All right. They also want to remove Michael Goves extremism definition. Can i just return now to martin ali, the Green Party Candidate in leeds who won and started chatting about allah . A very bafic chatting about allah . A very basic Google Search of that man throws up that he was reportedly known for stirring up hostility to rabbi zakaria deutsch, that jewish chaplain at leeds university, who was subsequently advised by police to go into hiding with his wife and two children after death and rape threats. What whats the vetting process for these people to be candidates . Wheres the candidates . Wheres the scrutiny . Is it not very telling that labours response to people with these . I would argue , with these . I would argue, radical views displayed in a ranting quite threatening manner is to say that they want to win them back, not distance themselves. I think that political islam is here in britain, and it looks like its here to stay. Lets go. The thoughts of my panel this evening i am joined by the senior Political Correspondent at the daily express. I have got christian county, ive got anarchist and academic Lisa Mckenzie, and i am joined as well by the founding chairman of Global Britain uk, eamonn bahgat. Christian, should we fear a political wing of islam , do you think . Well, it certainly having cut through , in local council through, in local Council Elections and by elections and the, the thing is theyre clearly very organised. But what theyre doing is theyre targeting quite poor left behind places, areas with low electoral turnout. They are reaping the rewards. But as you were just saying, these Council Elections, i dont think that chap has many views on bin collections or pothole repairs or social care things that matter to people in the area. What on earth does gaza have to do with a local election . And really, the green election . And really, the green party have massive questions to answer here, because what theyve done in the pursuit of seats at any cost is allowed themselves to become this random basket of deplorables that is full of all sorts of cranks and weirdos from any wing. And its the totally incoherent party, and theyve allowed some really dodgy characters to infiltrate it. Yeah, i mean, they have i mean, just just a Google Search of that man reveals some incredibly fruity stuff that hes allegedly been involved with. How on earth was that man and others like him allowed to actually stand for election . Because we live in a country with a system that allows certain groups to not be held accountable. The greens are never going to be held accountable for this because although, you know, theyre not ever going to win any real electoral power, theyre never going to have any power in westminster , so theyre not westminster, so theyre not going to be held accountable. I remember this happening with the lib dems at the iraq war, the same similar sort of thing started to happen there. And what happened . The lib dems couldnt wait to get a bit of power, and when they did, they were held accountable for things that theyd done, and very quickly, all of the sort of cranks and weirdos fell away. Yeah. But there was the immediate crossover from something that i think many people had long suspected. And i know that many viewers and listeners to this show had long suspected, and that this isnt actually really all about palestine and gaza. I fear that this is about the slow, creeping hand of sharia in the uk. But look at it this way. I think, patrick, these are the very fringe elements of British Society and the fact is, until recently, the vast majority of them were active members and councillors in the labour party until George Galloway bused them down. Dont forget , was it azhar down. Dont forget, was it azhar ali who was the anti semitic candidate from labour who had disowned last minute . So theyve always been there. Lets not kid ourselves. Well, tanya patel was in the conservative party. Well he was and i think he should have never been allowed to stand as a conservative in the first place. But the vast majority of them were in labour until keir starmer tried to do this balancing act of trying to appear moderate and trying to be electable from middle england. Electable from middle england. Well, just on that, because look, the obvious counter to all of this is that this was an election and they stood for election. They bothered to stand and campaign for an election and they were elected. Okay. So we cant take that away from anyone. And people will be shouting at their Television Screens now going, well, if you dont like it, you should have stood for election in that area and you should have campaigned better and got more votes. So that is the counter for it. But christine, the Labour Party Response to this appears to be we need to win these people back, not thank goodness youre nowhere near the labour party at the moment. No, absolutely right. I mean, why they want them back is beyond me. I think keir starmer actually will be incredibly relieved from the West Midlands mayoral result, not just because they beat the conservative party, but also if they hadnt, if they just lost out , then if they just lost out, then immediately people would have looked at the independent candidate who took 10 of the vote and almost certainly said, well, we didnt win because because they took a lot of our votes that we would otherwise won. So weve got to pander to this group. So hopefully keir starmer has a confidence that he doesnt need to pander. And from what ive seen, actually he does appear to be a lot of warm words. I dont think fingers crossed theyre going to give in to a lot of these demands, but some of them are really worrying. One of them are really worrying. One of them are really worrying. One of the ones you didnt mention was press regulation, which goodness knows, they want new press. What do they mean by that . What sort of free speech there do they want to clamp down on . Ifs there do they want to clamp down on . Its very concerning. Yeah. Look, i used to be in a group called class war analysis group, and we used to make demands of everybody all the time. And its a way of sort of getting your voice out there and getting known and saying something. I mean, when that camera panned round, there was ten people, if that. So i think they are fringe elements. Theyre making a lot of noise. Im not sure we should be taking them out. I dont take be taking them out. I dont take them that seriously. I think thats i mean this with respect. I think thats a mistake. I think we should be taking this lot very, very seriously indeed. That will be my view. But, i mean, i agree with you, patrick. I mean, lets be honest , the labour party has honest, the labour party has always been a bastion of rotten identity politics. And weve already seen the newly elected labour mayor of the West Midlands has been tweeting not about the West Midlands as his first tweet after becoming mayor, but about israel and gaza. And the same goes for sadiq khan, same goes for lisa nandy and same goes for keir starmer. So they do want these votes back and theyre pandering to them and theyre pandering to them and we will see more of it. One thing i will say, which is a caveat to this, and i mean it is that i think in this country, clearly weve been far too complacent for far too long. And, you know, people have potentially allowed a problem to fester and theyre not necessarily stood against that problem. And now here we are. So i wonder whether or not the tide will turn eventually. But we reached out to the green party and to moeen ali for comment. We and to moeen ali for comment. We didnt hear back. Weve probably gardening, isnt he . To be fair. Anyway ill give you a first look at tomorrows newspaper front pages. Hot off the press and bring you a full version of this dramatic audio from a British Airways bomb scare. The cancel take off. Clarence. Cancel. Take off. Clarence, we received some information regarding a bomb threat. Threat. 40 minutes. Those people were trapped on an aeroplane with, conceivably, a bomb ticking before. Its absolutely astonishing. Wait till you hear it all. But next, the second part of my exclusive interview with the lord president of the privy council. Its Penny Mordaunt. Exactly one year on from King Charless coronation, because it was my it was my first week in the job. So on the monday i was a junior trade minister, tuesday i was promoted. Wednesday we tried was promoted. Wednesday we tried to have a meeting with the queen, and then on the thursday she passed away and on the saturday we were doing the Accession Council. Accession council. Yeah. Weve got some fascinating insights for you there. This is Patrick Christys tonight. Were only on gb news. Welcome back to Patrick Christys tonight. Only on gb news and its tonight. Only on gb news and wsfime tonight. Only on gb news and its time now for part two of my exclusive interview with Penny Mordaunt, senior tory mp, leader of the house of commons and lord president of the privy council. It is quite the cv and after our sit down interview, Penny Mordaunt showed me some iconic and ceremonial royal artefacts that only a select group of people get to see and even touch. Its a fascinating insight into how the privy council works, and mordaunt reflection on the late queens passing. Theyre both unique and emotional. Well, look and the king will have these. And thats where his all his government papers will be given to him that he will do every day has the new cypher on. And this is this is my job title. So thats thats what i will use. But everything has had to have the cyphers changed on it. So were trying trying to do this gradually, but whats not often appreciated is on the for the coronation, all the uniforms needed, the cyphers changed on them. So everyones, dress uniforms needed, needed altering. So there was a massive embroider network around the country to change everything , ready . Ready for all these Little Things people dont think of. Or that. Things people dont think of. Or that. Has things people dont think of. Or that. Has that sunk in yet . I mean, it must have done by now. Surely its a its a great job title, i dont have a business card, but, its no, it is, it is a privilege to do it. And you really do. I think not a and you really do. I think not a lot of people know about the role, and actually it wasnt perhaps until the coronation, people knew that there was such a thing as the privy council. And whats the day to day if you dont mind me asking, what is the day to day of it all, really . So the, the, the privy council doesnt a huge amount of work and id be sent to the tower if i go into it in too much detail. Oh, there you go. But, it is things like making coins and, granting charters and those sorts of things. And then, sometimes sort of very real live issues. So, for example, someone issues. So, for example, someone might , want issues. So, for example, someone might, want and need to be buned might, want and need to be buried in a particular, churchyard that hasnt done burials for a while. And again, the privy council would be granting permission for those sorts of things to happen. So its lots its very, very varied, but it is, it is, it is all tied back to, things like our, our royal charters and coinage and, and all that sort of thing. Its absolutely fascinating, should we work our way down then, if thats all right . So this is a seal, which i think we can pick up. Can pick up. These are very heavy. So you can have a have a feel of that. So these, again, will be marking documents like this. So all Government Departments will have the seals of office. So when we swear in a new secretary of state theyre, theyre given their seals of office. And some of them are Little Things like that. Of them are Little Things like that. Others are enormous. And that. Others are enormous. And if there is a weight, people have difficulty lifting them. I dont want to i dont want to drop it just in case. They are still they they are in use in departments. Occasionally people have to produce those sorts of documents. Now, this looks very official i yes. So 51mm m yes. So this is an example of, a charter that, the late queen, did and, i mean, they produced quite, quite often. And this is obviously the seal, produced quite, quite often. And this is obviously the seal , that this is obviously the seal, that was, that was given on this one. Yeah and the memories of the late queen, because thats weve spoken a lot today about the coronation. Unfortunately for there to be a coronation the previous monarch has to pass away, dont they usually. So that must have been quite difficult overcoming those emotions as well. Presumably for you that was that was quite a time because it was my it was my first week in the job. So , so on the monday i was so, so on the monday i was a junior trade minister, tuesday i was promoted. Wednesday we tried to have a meeting with the queen, and then on the thursday she passed away. And on the saturday we were doing the Accession Council and we had identified the moment we lost the sovereign as a moment of peril for the nation, because you dont know how the public will react. And of course, we know that they reacted in the most marvellous ways. You know, marmalade sandwiches across our parks and all sorts of things. But we didnt know that at the time. So i was i felt the pressure considerably as we were doing the Accession Council. And after id delivered it, i came outside into saint jamess palace yard to hear the first proclamation being delivered that the king had just commanded be delivered from the balcony. And after it was done, the guards did three cheers to the king, and i could hear over the palace wall the crowds cheering the king. And at that moment i knew it was going to be all right. And i did shed a tear, right. And i did shed a tear, because it was. It was such a relief that the public had responded in such a marvellous way. I get emotional thinking about it now, actually. Yes i mean, thats thats, an incredible , incredible thing to incredible, incredible thing to think about that you you went through that so early on in the job as well. And, and this here is quite interesting cause i was being told before that i dont know if im allowed to touch this. The whole thing might unravel, actually, but, allowed to pick up this. So as long as youre very careful with it. Okay, well, dont run around with it. Dont run around. Dont run around with it. No. Now, the king has touched this more than, more than a few times, hasnt he . Because its got some significance. He he picks this charles with it. Is that right . Charles with it. Is that right . Yes. This is how we make sheriffs. So i will read out who we are proposing to make a sheriff, and he will signify his permission being granted by by pricking the. This is used to be. Youre braver than me. I dont want im going to put this back down here. So thats how. Thats how we make sheriffs every single sheriff here has got their their name. And then. Yes and then. Yes so he will signify his, his, approval of them as, as being good sheriffs. Its incredible to think that the king is , has, has done all the king is, has, has done all of this. Yeah. Its not for you. Of this. Yeah. Its not for you. You meet him every other week . Yes. Okay. And this, secretary of state box here. So this is this is again, just another little red box, and it will have this has got a couple of seals in it. So so, im not sure. Lets just see if im not sure. Lets just see if i can tell which department those are from round, if thats all right. Yes, certainly. Show everybody what were looking at here. So these again theyre theyre used in documents not not every week but occasionally. And when a, when a secretary of state is sworn in, theyre given their seals of office. Yeah. And then they return them when theyre at their out of office. Wow. Okay all right. So yes, when theres a general election then they have to scoop them all back in apparently. And then return them. And then return them. Yes, but yes, but, well, look, thank you very, very much for showing us around all this and being so open about it all. I know that our viewers and listeners will really, really care about it, and its a pleasure to get to know you a bit better as well. Well, thank you and thank you to everyone that has supported his majesty and the queen throughout, throughout this yeah throughout, throughout this year. I think its a tremendous , year. I think its a tremendous, effort that people have made and its very much appreciated. Well, that was lord president of the privy council and the leader of the house of commons, penny morton, there. And i just would like to say thank you very, very much to her for and her team as well, for letting us see all those artefacts and do all of that. So i was very, very nice of them. Thank you. So coming up , i nice of them. Thank you. So coming up, i do bring you a very first look at tomorrows newspaper front pages and give you the latest on these alarming reports. Yes, this has happened whilst weve been on air. So apparently the ministry of defence has been hacked by a chinese hacker. So ill repeat that for you. The ministry of defence has apparently been hacked by a chinese hacker , hacked by a chinese hacker, plus, well be talking about pro palestine protesters, plumbing new depths as they heckle the survivors of the october seventh terror attack dunng october seventh terror attack during a Holocaust Memorial march Ingrid Seward dawn neesom. March Ingrid Seward dawn neesom. Oh, grief. Look, more of tomorrows news tonight. And next. Yes. Look. It is time now to bnng yes. Look. It is time now to bring you the very first look at tomorrows newspaper front pages. Lets do it. Okay. Were going with the metro. 30 missed chances to find a brain tumour sickness , migraines and stiff sickness, migraines and stiff neck. Minor issues. A schoolgirl , tia gordon, is recovering from surgery for a brain tumour. Finally diagnosed after 30 medical assessments. Lets go to the daily express britain is on the daily express britain is on the verge of a house price boom. Britain is on the verge of a house price boom, with experts predicting values will soar 20 in the next four years. Slightly optimistic. I think 20 seems like anything to do with a shortage. Maybe. But anyway, the i alzheimers genetic link raises hope of early treatment. A major study has found that anyone with two copies of the apoe four gene has at least a 95 chance of developing the disease, up to 3 of the population. They kind of made that sound like a good thing initially here in the headline there, which i dont think theyre meaning to. But the genetic breakthrough presumably does make it easier for you to treat it earlier and spot the signs. So i think that really is the good news in a way. The guardian israeli airstrikes on rafah begin despite rising ceasefire pressure. Yeah, that was breaking as we came on air tonight. Weve shown you live footage of rafah, where israel has begun that offensive. Lets go to the Daily Telegraph now. Netanyahu rejects hamas ceasefire israel criticises deal as a ruse after gazans are seen celebrating on the streets of rafah. Well, again, you know, potentially not for long, given whats happening there, right. Look, i am going to, reintroduce my panel. Weve got senior Political Correspondent at the daily express, christian anarchist and academic Lisa Mckenzie, and founding chairman of Global Britain. Amman begum. I want to bring you, some news thats developing as we speak. Okay. So apparently the Chinese State has hacked our ministry of defence. Thats according to sky news initially. But china stands accused of 2 or 3 attempts at hacking the ministry of defence employees, including personnel at the cyber attack, was reportedly on a payroll system with Current Service personnel and some veterans. It largely and some veterans. It largely names, apparently, and bank details that have been exposed, but still, as it currently stands, christian, the Chinese State, it appears, has hacked our ministry of defence. Yeah , yes. Yeah, yes. Yeah, yes. Another deeply concerning move from china , the latest in a move from china, the latest in a long line of espionage that we are aware of publicly. Goodness knows whats happening that were not aware of. Its also were not aware of. Its also worth bearing in mind, of course, that our foreign secretaries still, lord cameron, whose main Foreign Policy time in office as Prime Minister was opening britain up to china and further endangering us. Can i just say, so we have contacted the ministry of defence in the last few minutes, and ive just heard now the ministry of defence are confirming theyve been hacked, but they are refusing to say the word china basically. Basically. Thats what thats what theyre refusing. Other outlets seem to be naming them. So ill stick my neck out on that one. I mean, look at this one. I mean, look at this one. I mean, look at this one. I think these are multiple attacks that, democracies around the world face from the Chinese Communists. But lets be honest, you know , literally half the you know, literally half the country is running on huawei and xiaomi. So the fact theyve actually done this, theyve done this to make a point, to britain and to british democracy. But and to british democracy. But even more than that, lets be honest, the Chinese Communist tentacles are everywhere in British Society. Be it our academic institutions, be it the fact that weve had recently, what two, officials from parliament charged with espionage, working for the Chinese Communists. Can you call them communists . I mean, really , they are. I mean, really, they are. Theyre not by your definition, no, i knew this was coming by the anarchist on the paneps coming by the anarchist on the panels definition. Panels definition. The chinese are. I mean, come on, its a totalitarian state, isnt it . Its not. Its not a, you know , communism just tend to know, communism just tend to always veer towards it. Yeah, but im not sure. Yeah, but im not sure. Im not sure we could actually go. The threat of communists, you know. Well yeah. Okay. Fine. Well yeah. Okay. Fine. Okay. Okay. So yours i appreciate so your main gripe with the fact that the chinese have had some ministry of defence and have their tentacles everywhere in society is that we have erroneously referred to them as. Im not, im not. Im not down with the communists at all. Because historically , because historically, historically, communists always kill the anarchists. Anyway, you know, if you look at the anarchist antifa anyway, they are not very, not very well. No one really likes. Well, look, but we dont like them much anyway. No, indeed. Well, i think look at it this way. I think the fact that the uk decided to classify the chinese as strategic competitors and not as a hostile entity goes to show how out of touch our Political Class are, sadly. But interestingly, the eu today has sort of made making quite bold statements for them about china, because apparently theyve been flooding the eu market with cheap goods. I think market with cheap goods. I think theyve been doing that for quite i think theyve been doing that for a long time. But the eu is now, you know, theyre not happy about it. And theyve also warned them about, sending things that could be used as military aid to russia. Yeah, exactly. So i mean, i like the fact that its taken the eu single to market be infringed for them to suddenly thats what china might be a threat. You know, ive just got a little bit more of an update. So, this is. Yeah, just some so, this is. Yeah, just some more information about this, this hack. Right. So apparently a contractor system, which is i believe was been hacked , is not believe was been hacked, is not connected to the main mod Computer Systems and has been taken down with a review. Look. Well, thats a really we can all breathe a sigh of relief, but no. Whats it going to take seriously for us to stand up more to china . I mean, are we just terrified of them . Well, i think its i think its more, a fear that lots of western economies have been built on very , very shaky built on very, very shaky foundations over the last 20 or 30 years. What weve done is weve weve almost sort of prostituted out our economy to these very, very unreliable , these very, very unreliable, global partners. That was what David Cameron and George Osborne were doing. And my prediction , were doing. And my prediction, really over the next decade, two decadesis really over the next decade, two decades is what the right is going to do, what the mainstream right of conservatism. Its right of conservatism. Its going to start Prioritising National security over unabated free markets. And thats going to be the big trend going forward. Thats kind of where we are. Thats kind of where we are because its not about, you know, can we do without the cheap stuff that comes from china. But i would argue thats the easy political way out. I mean, look, for example , india runs look, for example, india runs a trade deficit with the chinese. And yet Prime Minister modi took the effort to ban tiktok before for the americans are wanting to do it. It takes political gumption and thats what we need in this country. I actually do think that tiktok is a bigger threat to society than many people realise. I appreciate that we are on gb news, we are on tiktok and you should obviously check us out on it, but its a fantastic win. Little little vortex of tiktok that is, of course, free from all of the negatives. But there we go negatives. But there we go anyway. Moving on. Pro palestine activists have sparked condemnation after they staged a protest, yeah, i wish i was making this up, but im not near auschwitz. While israelis, auschwitz. While israelis, including october the 7th, survivors marched to honour victims of the holocaust. Ella victims of the holocaust. Ella toone. Im sorry, but its just all so depressing, isnt it . This you know, eyewitnesses even claim that the protesters were chanting directly at the march of the living event, which takes place every year to mark holocaust remembrance day. I mean, look, man, these pro palestine protest, i mean, that that surely, surely crosses the line. Well, i think the line was crossed a very long time ago, patrick. I mean, look, the vast majority of this pro palestine activism is rooted very much in nothing else but very bad Old Fashioned anti jewish hatred. Its not about peace. Its not about preventing war. Its not about preventing war. Its not about trying to prevent any atrocity. Its about bad, bad, Old Fashioned anti jewish hate. Thats what it is. To be honest. Im getting a bit. Im getting a bit depressed by all of this stuff, so i thought i would just mix this up a little bit now and talk about a little bit now and talk about a good Old Fashioned bomb threat. So passengers on a flight from bermuda bound for london last night, were forced to make an emergency evacuation after this alarming message from air traffic control. Air traffic control. Bird one eight bravo bermuda tower. Cancel takeoff clearance. Cancel. Take off clearance , we cancel. Take off clearance, we received some information regarding a bomb threat. Regarding a bomb threat. Okay. Okay. Cancel takeoff clearance. Speedbird one eight. Bravo. And, would you like us to leave the runway . One eight bravo. Negative. All position. Standby 218. Bravo. You got any further information for us . One eight bravo, i was just on the phone with the airport duty officer, and they reported that they received an email saying that there is a bomb on board. And we are currently working on getting the authorities out and getting you to an isolated area to disembark, possibly. Right. So, look, just to add to the panic, there was a lengthy delay of 40 minutes in getting passengers off the aeroplane and the pilot was at times. I mean, its quite cool. Customer there to be fair on him, but at times was just like, can we just get some stairs so we can get these passengers off . Okay, so its 40 minutes now since , you gave us the bomb since, you gave us the bomb threat. We really should have fire engines surrounding the aircraft. And if it goes on for much longer, we will have to evacuate five flights and, further to that, we will need ambulances now as well. Please 40 minutes on a plane with apparently a bomb somewhere ticking away underneath the stairs did eventually arrive. All the passengers made it off the plane safely before. Luckily the plane safely before. Luckily the all clear was given. The flight was delayed overnight. The passengers eventually arrived in london just under an hour ago , we think. Anyway, i hour ago, we think. Anyway, i mean honestly, seriously. Your mean honestly, seriously. Your reaction . Lisa, if you were on that plane or youre an anarchist, you just let it rip, wouldnt you . Well, i would, i would want to know. I would want to know, i know i would want to know who was how. And you know who, whose bomb it was before i made judgement. Right. Right. Right. Was it ethical or not . Was it ethical or not . Yeah. You know, was it im. Which side am i on on the bomb. Given recent headlines, its difficult to know whats more dangerous being sat stationary with a bomb or flying with boeing. Because thats equally pretty notoriously litigious boeing here. Who of course, ill just say ive never met this man before. Ive never met this man before. I know about him. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah , yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, i think is this a case for renationalising bar . Well, possibly. Well, possibly. Can i just say i have had some shocking experiences on British Airways, recently , my British Airways, recently, my latest interaction on aeroplane was a ryanair flight. Now i actually, despite being dug out on numerous occasions online weirdly by ryanairs press team, i actually actually like flying on ryanair, apart from the fact that this time they tried to charge me ,30 as i went on to the plane for a cabin bag that they said was too big, which obviously wasnt, there was a woman sat in my seat who told me to off when i got there and then a man was arrested on the tarmac when we touched back down at stansted. So well not be flying with ryanair again, although they have offered to take migrants to rwanda. So there we go. Coming up, more of tomorrows front pages and i will show you what happens next here. As greek easter goes a bit potty. What could possibly go potty. What could possibly go wrong . Stay tuned to find out. Welcome back to Patrick Christys tonight, and it is time to return to tomorrows front pages. Lets do it. Heres the times. Not sorry. No truth yet , times. Not sorry. No truth yet, says israel. Netanyahu hamas back deal doesnt meet our demands. Lets go to the independent. Cease fire pressure builds as israel sets for rafah invasion. I can confirm that israel has now invaded rafah or extended their invasion into rafah, the mirror, our chance to save young lives. So mollys dad in tech plea. The dad of a girl in tech plea. The dad of a girl who sadly took her own life due to harmful web content, warns delays to an online crackdown will cost lives. He says more will cost lives. He says more will be lost unless theres new onune will be lost unless theres new online safety. We go to the daily mail. How could greens not know about vile rants over rabbi . I mean, weve discussed this, havent we . Really . Its the party leader of the green party leader. This is claimed ignorance about a councillor in anti semitism row. Despite a daily mail expose months ago. This is that you know, allahuakbar green candidate who, you know, to everyones surprise, turned out to actually have said some fruity things about people in the past. And is, i think it does speak, as christine was saying earlier to how desperate the green party was to have some form of Council Representation really , that they representation really, that they would have sold it down the swanee. But back to my press pack now, senior Political Correspondent at the daily express, christian anarchist and academic Lisa Mckenzie, and founding chairman of Global Britain uk, its amman bagel, yeah. Look, i mean, honestly, how could they not have known really this ceasefire pressure on israel, though . I mean , it is on israel, though . I mean, it is it is the breaking news of the night. It is whats leading the news agenda. It will probably be leading the news agenda tomorrow. Israel has invaded rafah. Is this going to have widespread consequences here, christine . Do you think they are justified in trying to root out hamas once and for all . Look, im now personally getting to the point of being in two minds about what israel is doing. Im a vociferous supporter of israel and have been throughout their throughout their campaign in the gaza strip since october 7. But the problem, of course, is that throughout out its mission to root out hamas and return hostages, they have constantly been telling the gazans to get to rafah. That is where millions have gone to seek safe haven. The rest of the gaza strip is almost unliveable now, you know, and now theyre being told, oh, you need to get out of the one liveable area and find somewhere else. And we are getting to that point where no matter how much pre warning israel gave, you know, of course, we want them to get their hostages back. And hamas are entirely responsible for what is happening. But on a humanitarian ground , i dont see humanitarian ground, i dont see how this can go ahead without very bad casualties. Very bad casualties. I think, again, this is obviously much more complicated than im going to make out now. But i think if i if i was an israeli, i would probably, probably want them to eradicate hamas once and for all. I dont know how youre feeling. Yeah. I think lots of things with this are all true. At the same time, i think its important that whatever hostages are left that whatever hostages are left that are alive gets home. So i think theres a big part of the israeli population that desperately wants to have some hope about the hostages, i think as every day goes on, its less likely that any of them are going to come out, netanyahu is under great political pressure there, and i think the way that perhaps some of the western universities and students and pro palestine cranks are behaving is not doing the palestinians any good at all. And so for me, i think theres lots of things here thats true at the same time. But there is one thing that is true and that is that the Palestinian People really you know, they are suffering now and none of us should. None of us should take any delight that that children and women are dying. None of us should do that. And quickly on this, indeed, i think i echo what you just said. Nobody wants to take any delight. And this is sadly war and this this is a war that has been brought upon the Palestinian People by hamas and by hamas alone. And israel is doing a favour to the whole region and the palestinians by finally wanting to eradicate hamas fully. Yeah. Well, i mean, when i look at the amount of conflicts going on in the quote unquote muslim world committed often by, islamists or islamic regimes against other muslims, it does stand out to me as though there is more outrage at this , and i is more outrage at this, and i cant help but wonder if thats because its being perpetrated by a jewish regime. I dont know, but there are. There are a lot of issues in that region, look, lets move on. Something thankfully much lighter, although not for the woman involved. It must be said , when involved. It must be said, when you jet off to the greek island of corfu, youre expecting sun, sea relaxation. But that wasnt the case for this unlucky woman who fell victim to a greek easter tradition of pot throwing. So . So shes fine. Apparently. Hope so, so that is the mayor of that particular region of corfu , that particular region of corfu, and all the press is there. And its, you know, im going to throw this giant pot out of the window now. Wollop. Yeah. Not window now. Wollop. Yeah. Not great, is it . Not great. Thats a resigning matter. Probably that, to be fair anyway. Right. Its time to reveal those greatest bristling Union Jackass do you remember who your greatest briton is . I do, yeah, i do, im so awake. Itsjeremy i do, yeah, i do, im so awake. Its jeremy clarkson. A lifelong idol of mine, it must be said, but specifically , my be said, but specifically, my housemates and i sat down to watch the latest series of clarksons farm on amazon on friday, and it is just the best show, to have come out in the last five years. It is so , last five years. It is so, entertaining but heartbreaking and emotional and fundamentally showcases the one awful job that british farmers do. And the nightmare situations they have to go through , and i think to go through, and i think everyone should watch it. All right. Brilliant. Well i will watch it a bit later on. Lisa. Lisa. I think mine was the Great British public for. Is that right . Well, well find out. Yes, well, well find out. Yes, i have to the people who didnt vote in the local election, the people that that kind of looked at the local elections and said, you know what, not none of the above. And i thought that was a great thing for democracy. You have got some bizarre views. Views. Oh. All right, go on. Oh. All right, go on. Well, look, for me, its got to be andy street. I think he has fought a very valiant fight. And the Great British dignity he has shown , over the last two has shown, over the last two days. And not to mention, of course, the way he has helped turbocharged the West Midlands with foreign direct investment, with foreign direct investment, with levelling up and i think its a real sad day to see him go. His replacement is already talking about everything other than West Midlands. Yes. Well again yes. Another shock right . Todays greatest britain is jeremy clarkson. Well hey well done. Jezza right. Who is your Union Jackass . Christian, its the co leaders of the green party, can you tell i selected this before i realised we were going to spend two hours talking about the green party, just to recap. Yeah, i just think what theyve doneis yeah, i just think what theyve done is idiotic, and theyve opened themselves up to, obvious criticism in a desperate attempt to win Council Seats. And fundamentally, i dont understand how a party that is 50 pink and blue haired , you 50 pink and blue haired, you know, insane lefty commies and essentially sort of right wing religious nationalists, most himars to these people even know that theyre both in the same party. I blame on this a lot of this is the increasing death of local journalism, because stuff like this would have come out a lot soonen this would have come out a lot sooner. Why would people confronted by this and im going to flip whats happened here. Right. Sorry. Were gonna have to be quick. You jack out. Mine was keir starmer because he went to mansfield last week. And i think with all this, sort of this, the garzon stuff and the pro palestine people not going to vote for starmer, i think hes trying to win back the red wall. But i think the people of the red wall are. That is his job, you understand . Thats his job. But hes not hes not cared about us for such a long time. All right. Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. Go on. Abdul ezedi a jackass. My wifes got to be this puffed up popinjay, this union jack has called sadiq khan. Well, hes won a third term as london mayor, and hes now back to being mayor of gaza. Flipping hat. Right. Obviously sadiq khan. But did i try to be the mayor of gaza . But anyway, the winners are those two green leaders there. Christine said. Right. Look thank you, thank you. Ive had a proper laugh tonight. Ive enjoyed it for the most part. Anyway and as headliners up next with a much more in depth look at tomorrows newspapers. Ill be back tomorrow at 9 pm. Keep fighting the good fight. Fighting the good fight. A brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on. Solar, sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Hello there. Welcome to your latest weather for gb news. Its becoming drier over the next 24 hours, but with light winds we could see some fog patches tonight developing, and thats thanks to an area of High Pressure moving in, which then stays with us for much of the week. Temperatures rising, week. Temperatures rising, particularly by the end of the week into the weekend. Highs of 24 or 25. In the best of the sunshine this evening time. Still some heavy thundery showers easing away. The rain showers easing away. The rain across south east england also moves out of the way. Most places dry overnight, but that allows some mist and fog patches to form in places under the cloudier skies. Temperatures holding up though around 10 or 11 celsius, so Tuesday Morning a great start in places. Still, the risk of some light rain and drizzle across central northern parts of england into southern scotland. But it does brighten up quite quickly for most parts of the uk. Best to the sunshine across southern parts of england and wales. Perhaps 1 or 2 heavy showers developing here later on in the afternoon , temperatures in the afternoon, temperatures rising to around 20 or 21 degrees. A little cooler further north under the cloud, particularly northern ireland. Southern scotland here, around about 13 or 14 celsius, a murky start once more on wednesday , start once more on wednesday, but fog patches lifting and then dry for most. Plenty of sunny spells, perhaps some low clouds just lingering around some coastal areas, but feeling warm in that sunshine as temperatures start to lift further, and more sunshine on the way to end the week, as well as temperatures rise towards the mid 20s, that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. Good evening. Headliners is coming up next. But first, our top stories tonight, and we start with some breaking news for you. The ministry of defence has confirmed to gb news that an external payroll system has been hacked. They say the system, operated by a contractor, contained staff information, including names and bank details, and in a small number of cases , home addresses. Of cases, home addresses. Theyve told us it was immediately taken offline for a full review. All payroll payments were made at the end of last month, and they dont expect any future delays. Theyre not currently commenting on reports that the hack was carried out by china, but they will be providing specialist advice, guidance and support to affected staff. This is a developing story. Well bring you more here gbnews as israels Defence Forces have begun what theyre calling a targeted attack against hamas in the Southern Gaza city of rafah. Now we can see live pictures for those watching on television. The military operation began after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his war cabinet unanimously approved the operation
