Thats all coming up in your hour. So coming up in your next hour. So as another man is tragically stabbed to death in the migrant camps along the french coast, im asking the question how crime ridden are these places . Later in the show, ill be joined by an investigative journalist who spent a lot of time there and will tell me this is the tip of the iceberg. Is just the tip of the iceberg. Lawless, full of human traffickers and criminal masterminds, thugs of all stripes. Are these really the sort of people we want coming to our country, ransacking the French Police , often too afraid French Police, often too afraid to get near them or simply cannot stop them as they launch their craft. Theres too much money, too many weapons, and too much vested interest for this to carry on. Lee anderson has spent time in those camps, too. Hell join me later in the show to give me the full inside story. Get in touch all the usual ways. Vaiews gbnews. Com but first, lets kick off the show. Its time for your News Headlines with sam francis. With sam francis. Martin, thank you and very good afternoon to you. The headunes good afternoon to you. The headlines from the gb newsroom just after 3 00, the family of british aid worker john just after 3 00, the family of british aid workerjohn chapman , british aid worker john chapman, who was killed by an israeli airstrike in gaza, says he will forever be a hero and that he died trying to help people. The died trying to help people. The bodies of mr chapman, along with James Henderson and james kirby, are now being transported out of gaza. Those three british nationals died when their convoy was hit as they were delivering vital Food Supplies in the region. They were part of a group of seven aid workers from the world central kitchen ngo. Foreign secretary lord David Cameron must be more cameron says there must be more to be done to ensure the safe passage of aid into gaza. I welcome what the Israeli Foreign minister said yesterday to me about a full, urgent and transparent inquiry into how this dreadful event was allowed to happen and we want to see that happen very, very quickly. I also welcome the fact that he spoke about much more aid, getting into gaza, up to 500 trucks a day. That is essential. Trucks a day. That is essential. We have been promised these things before, and this really needs to happen. Needs to happen. There are growing well, there are growing international to hold International Calls to hold israel to account for the deaths of those seven aid workers here in uk. The leader of the in the uk. The leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey, says the government should suspend the supply of arms. Does israel has it does look like israel has broken humanitarian law and we really shouldnt be exporting arms to any country that breaks International Humanitarian law. And the democrats have been calling for a long time for immediate bilateral ceasefire. The israelis have not listened to International Pressure on that. And so i think by ending british arms exports to israel, it would send a very, very powerful signal. Well, to finland. Now, where police say a 12 year old boy suspected of carrying out a shooting at a Primary School yesterday had been bullied , yesterday had been bullied, which officers are treating as the motive.

Royal mail is pushing the postal regulator to speed up reforms, including cutting back on second class deliveries to just three days a week. The Postal Service says urgent reforms are needed to cut costs following a major drop in demand, falling from 20 billion letters each year to just 7 billion. That plan, set to save £300 million annually, would also lead to a possible 1000 redundancies. The liberal democrats are among many who have criticised the proposal, warning it could create a postage cost crisis for consumers. And finally, before consumers.

Now we start with the news that a channel migrant has been stabbed to death at a camp near dunkirk in france, and the incident happened just days after a gb news exclusive report warned of a deteriorating security situation in northern france , situation in northern france, which has seen French Police regularly attacked and injured by migrants. Well, im joined now by our home and security editor , mark white. Mark, editor, mark white. Mark, another tragic death in france. Give us the details on this one. Well, this incident took place at loon plage, which is a camp near dunkirk on the Railway Tracks , not too far from the tracks, not too far from the beach area in dunkirk. Tracks, not too far from the beach area in dunkirk. And what beach area in dunkirk. And what happened was Emergency Services got very, called to reports that a migrant had been stabbed on the outskirts of this camp. You the outskirts of this camp. You can see there pictures. We were there at loon plage in december, had the drone up. We got some shots for you there. Not too many people in the camp at that point, because it had just been raided and cleared out by French Police, and this happens from time to time. They move in, they clear out the camp. But, you know, sure as night follows day, the migrants are back in there within a few weeks. So at the moment were in one of these penods moment were in one of these periods where the camp is being cleared out. Theres a couple of hundred migrants who are in loon plage at the moment, and this incident, how it, erupted. We dont know. But when the Emergency Services arrived , they Emergency Services arrived, they found a migrant lying with multiple stab injuries to the chest area. They worked on him to try to save his life. But this migrant in his 30s was pronounced dead at the scene. Pronounced dead at the scene. And this is not the first, by any means , a violent incident any means, a violent incident thats erupted in northern france in recent weeks. Just a couple of weeks ago , we filmed couple of weeks ago, we filmed in dover in kent, when , in dover in kent, when, paramedics and others were there to await the arrival of a migrant boat with a migrant on board who had also been stabbed. Board who had also been stabbed. This incident happened on a beach near calais. Its understood said, that the person who was stabbed had tried to get on a migrant boat without paying and had come across a criminal people smuggler, and that didnt end well, from him. So thats violence of migrant against migrant. But also set against that. Martin is violent towards the french authorities, towards the french authorities, towards the police. As they try to get in and puncture these dinghies that has been growing in intensity in recent weeks as well. There was another incident well. There was another incident just on a beach near berlin, recently, where a group of about 350 mainly sudanese, vietnamese and other nationalities were there trying to stop the police from reaching four boats that were about to launch. And as well as throwing sticks and stones at the police and other missiles, they also used some of the petrol theyd use for their journey across to the uk to light fires on the beaches, to stop the police from advancing , stop the police from advancing, to get a hold of those dinghies. And mark you paint a picture here of heavily armed well organised thugs, lots of money, lots of vested interest. Often a police which seems unable or unwilling to cope because of the risks and the dangers. Therefore, mark asked a very big question. Are these really the sorts of people that we should be allowing to come to britain . Well, i mean, in terms of individuals who are coming across that is a real question to be asked, because the fact is we simply dont know because the people, in these dinghies are instructed by the people smugglers to throw away their identifying documents, to and effectively invent backstories that will stand them in the best possible position. Really to get granted asylum. At the end of the day. And then that makes it the day. And then that makes it very difficult for uk authorities to be able to get a handle on who these people are and the potential risk that they pose , and they do. Some of them pose, and they do. Some of them pose, and they do. Some of them pose a risk. We know that people that have come and claimed asylum have gone on to commit some horrific crimes, such as that acid attack in clapham in recent weeks, a number of terrorist attacks that have been committed by Asylum Seekers and failed Asylum Seekers as well, and other stabbings and sexual crimes that have been committed. Thats not to say that everyone coming across, is bad. Of course coming across, is bad. Of course theyre not. But the fact is, some are. And we dont know who some are. And we dont know who these people are, and just what sort of risk they might pose. Indeed, mark white, thank you for that update. Comprehensive and excellent as ever. And later in the show, ill be talking to a reporter whos also spent a in the show, ill be talking to a r stop exporting arms. To. Lee kuan yew britain exports to israel in terms of arms, but we dont send them aircraft because the americans do that. We dont send them tanks because they build own. I suspect they build their own. I suspect they build their own. I suspect they have. They may call their own ammunition, although im not absolutely and thats absolutely sure. And so thats not answer. And the other not the answer. And the other aspect that, of is aspect of that, of course, is that we import arms from israel because israel is a world leading , in industrial terms, in leading, in industrial terms, in certain aspects like active protective systems for tanks, air Defence Systems and so on and so forth. So its just not a case of us stopping sending stuff to them, even if that would be effective, because we need stuff from them. Need stuff from them. And, stuart, i think a lot of people these days seem to think that war is a very precise, laser targeted , pinpoint, gps laser targeted, pinpoint, gps driven, active city. But could you tell us in in actuality , in you tell us in in actuality, in the theatre of war, can tragic accidents like this sadly be a consequence . Unfortunately, all the time. And i cant think of any conflict where there hasnt been some sort of accidental tragedy, which has occurred, you know, going back to my own days in the first iraq war, there were the nine british infantrymen killed by friendly fire, so called friendly fire attack, as they crossed into iraq. Again, crossed into iraq. Again, a terrible tragedy. Im sure the american pilot responsible cant live with himself because of that. Live with himself because of that. But it live with himself because of that. But it happens all the time, gps guided weaponry and other types of inertial navigation and so on and so forth have certainly improved the accuracy of weapon systems. The accuracy of weapon systems. But, you know, not everything is clear. And war, war is chaos. And its the militarys job mainly to bring some sort of order to that chaos. But it cannot ever be perfect and therefore do you think that this incident being used as a call to strengthen calls for ceasefires , strengthen calls for ceasefires, to stop the exportation of weaponry, something which hamas would presumably be welcome, a disarmed or a less, better equipped is idf would be a dream for them. Do you think thats a step too far . We have to accept this is a tragic accident. But we mustnt overreact. Yes, i think we have to, accept that its a tragic accident. And unless the accident. And unless the inevitable inquiry finds otherwise , and it looks to me otherwise, and it looks to me its quite interesting that, in fact , i thought its quite interesting that, in fact, i thought all its quite interesting that, in fact , i thought all the its quite interesting that, in fact, i thought all the vehicles were struck at once, but there were struck at once, but there were struck at once, but there were struck in three separate occasions over 1. 5km or something. So whoever was responsible for targeting them and releasing the weapons from the drone made a big mistake. I dont think theres any sense in suggesting it was deliberate, because i cant see how a deliberate act like that would benefit anybody, and i dont. I dont subscribe to the idea that, the idf operator or unit has gone rogue. I think thats just nonsense. There are far too professional for that. So i think its naive to think that , think its naive to think that, just by stopping, sending arms and other supplies to israel, that this will bring the whole thing to a conclusion. The thing to a conclusion. The problem is hamas, and, you know, we dont want to go back into history, but this all started this episode started in october seventh, and it was their responsibility. And now responsibility. And theyre now reaping the whirlwind. And responsibility. And theyre now reapin the e whirlwind. And responsibility. And theyre now reapinthe poor rlwind. And responsibility. And theyre now reapin the poor civilian and sadly, the poor civilian population of gaza is suffering immensely because of their actions. Actions. And can i ask you a question that we asked yesterday, Lieutenant Colonel crawford , the Lieutenant Colonel crawford, the nofion Lieutenant Colonel crawford, the notion that something that the uk should consider now is a Palestinian Refugee scheme , akin Palestinian Refugee scheme, akin to the type of action that weve seen in the ukraine. A great many defence analysts have told us that could be a grave concern, because, of course , concern, because, of course, hamas would like nothing more than to melt into the civilian population and then be sent abroad, potentially to britain. Abroad, potentially to britain. Do you think it would be a bad idea for such a notion to come to the uk . Well, i think that a civilised society like ours should always be in a position to offer succour to those who are fleeing persecution or war or famine or Something Like that. The problem is that hamas is not a regular military organisation. It doesnt necessarily wear regular military uniforms, which is why they can, say what they like about civilian casualties in gaza. Well never know because many of their fighters are in civilian clothes. And i think that we would just be importing trouble, with Palestinian Refugees unless us there was a really robust screening process where we could take out, the terrorists and i dont know enough about that to be able to comment further.
