    Almost good afternoon Britain it is now 12:00 on Monday the 15th of January thanks for that Tac exclusive as the Prime Minister prepares for Rwanda rebellions on all fronts this week and faces electoral Wipeout according to the most authoritative poll since the 2019 election the Prime Minister Under

    Pressure sits down with our political editor child abuse failings dozens of men still pose a potential risk to children in Rochdale warns a new report into the grooming gang Scandal setting out the multiple failures by the greater Manchester police and local authorities have the right lessons been learned and

    War at Sea as Britain refuses to rule out further strikes on iran-backed hooti rebels in the Middle East the Prime Minister will deliver a statement to the commons on last week’s Royal Air Force action kiss sta backed the strikes but does this represent yet another U-turn

    From the man who promised to ensure all military action would be put to a vote in Parliament I’m really interested about this exclusive richy sunak interview speaking to GB news about this uh I would assume about this big big vote tomorrow and on Wednesday all these amendments that are going to go before the House of Commons on the Rwanda Bill yes I’m sure Christopher will ask him

    About that whether he is going to toughen up the bill as quite a few Tor MPS about 60 I believe want him to do so but then of course there’s the other caucus of MPS who want him to soften it or at least keep it as it is so it could

    Be a very interesting one of course is larger than the government’s majority now they could defeat the government and what happens then but also in the telegraph today is the largest poll the most sophisticated poll that has been carried out since the last election over 177,000 interviews went into this poll

    With a special sort of analysis that shows the Tories are in for a 1997 style Wipeout and that’s very different isn’t it from the type of polling we see week week on week yes exactly this is called an MRP poll which stands for wait for it multi-level regression and poststratification

    Analysis uh which is we do without you Tom which is a lot of gibberish to mean that actually they’re applying what happens in different localities differently rather than just putting one number for the whole country and say well Labor’s on 40 and this means this many seats they go in constituency by

    Constituency do all sorts of clever maths to get a very accurate reading and it was very accurate when they did the same thing in 2019 and they’re saying that if things don’t change if things if the election was today there would be a 1997 style Wipeout for the conservatives

    Let us know what you think gbvs atgb news.com but shall we get the headlines with Sfia thanks Emily good afternoon it’s 2 minutes past 12 I’m Sophia winsler in the GB Newsroom first of some breaking news more than 200 migrants cross the English Channel in small boats at the weekend the home office says 124 people made the Crossing in three small boats on

    Saturday today which was followed by 139 migrants in four dingis on Sunday that’s despite the poor weather conditions it comes after five people died on the French side of the channel yesterday after getting into difficulties just off the coast near booin to some other news the Prime Minister says British strikes on houthi

    Rebels in Yemen are aimed at de-escalating tensions as he prepares to address MPS later the government insists its decision not to consult Parliament regarding the stri was important for reasons of operational security following a series of attacks on commercial ships passing through the Red Sea rishy sunak says tensions in the

    Region must not be allowed to boil over our aim is to deescalate tensions in the region and actually restore stability back to the area we faced an escalating series of attacks from the houes on commercial shipping including an attack on uh Royal Navy warship that’s unaccept it was right that we

    Took proportionate targeted action against military targets to send a strong message that that behavior is unacceptable it was the last result it came after the end of exhaustive diplomatic activity including a un Security Council resolution labor leader sakir stama says he understands the urgency surrounding the situation but warns the case should

    Be made for further military action the vast majority of people across the country recognize that when urg operational uh issues arise as they did in this case uh then it’s not possible to have a vote in Parliament before hand particularly if it’s a joint operation I think it’s fundamentally different if

    There’s a sustained campaign with the deployment of troops and in those circumstances I do think it’s important that the prime minister of the day uh comes to Parliament with a vial case setting out the legal basis for the action the UK will send 20,000 troops across Europe as Britain looks to

    Counter an alarming rise in Russian aggression it’ll include deployments from the Army the Navy and the Raf in what’s being described as the largest NATO exercise since the Cold War defense secretary Grant shaps is calling it a vital reassurance against the Putin Menace Britain has often accomplished the seemingly impossible before our

    History is littered with moments when we Face Down the threat and we have triumphed but looking ahead we are in a new era and we must be prepared to deter our enemies to lead our allies and defend our nation two people have been gelled for life for the murder of 14-year-old car

    Caroline glacken in a historic murder case dating back to 1996 Robert O’Brian and Andrew Kelly were found guilty of killing the school girl more than 27 years ago a third person Donna Mary brand remains in hospital and will be sentenced at a later date the court heard that the

    Victim had been infatuated with O’Brian before she was killed in what prosecutors described as a violent and horrific attack speaking outside Court after the sentencing the victim’s mother Margaret mck spoke of her long wait for justice saying it’s a day we thought would never happen girls were left at the mercy of

    The pedophile grooming gangs due to failings by by senior police and Council leaders that’s according to a comprehensive new report covering nearly 10 years of failed investigations by greater Manchester police it highlights years of widespread organized sexual abuse of children in the Rochdale area despite what it described as compelling

    Evidence reported to authorities as early as 2004 greater Manchester police chief Constable Steven Watson says the report paints a damning picture the findings evidenced within it are shocking Stark and shameful it speaks to the systemic failure of various agencies to pull together and do the obvious and the

    Right thing and above all it outlines in painful detail all of those missed opportunities where decisive action could and should have been taken commuters are in for a fresh series of delays as the aslef union announces more strike action drivers will will take part in a rolling program

    Of one-day walkouts from the end of the month including a ban on overtime the union says it’s aiming to put pressure on what it describes as a toned deaf Tory government calling for drivers to get their first pay rise in five years this is GB news across the UK on

    TV in your car on your digital Radio and on your smart speaker by saying play GB news now it’s back to Tom and Emily well Rishi sunak faces rebellions on multiple fronts this week that’s as crucial parliamentary debates take place on the Rwanda Bill Small Boat Crossings

    Have resumed after a spell of bad weather and tragically over the weekend five migrants died in the English Channel after their small boat got into difficulties yes so this comes as the Prime Minister visits Leon C in Essex today now he sat down with our political editor Christopher hope and we have an

    Exclusive interview for you at 1:00 but Christopher joins us now Christopher thank you very much indeed tell us the latest well Tom Emily good morning from Leon C in essic now the PM prime minister has got a a big few days he spent the end of last week dealing with

    Issues on the world stage Ukraine of course and sending in fighter jets uh uh to attack the Yemen the hooes in the Yemen this week it returns more to a domestic context with these key votes tomorrow and Wednesday on his Rwanda plan now for GB news I’ve been

    Interviewing him today him Leon C now I I asked him initially um and you’ll be seeing that play out at 1:00 how do you stop the deaths because there were five people died tragically over the weekend of course trying to come here to this this country in small boats 200 people

    Made that Journey he told us that it was compassionate to tackle illegal migration his approach he sees as one of compassion it’s not fair to not to challenge these people Smugglers business model that’s what he’s trying to do he talked again you’ll see at 1:00 dialogue with toy Rebels as many as

    60 toy MPS are backing amendments to this Randa Bild to try and make it tougher and harder for European judges and other reasons to stop these flights taking off uh in May I also asked him about his personal wealth and what he felt about being attacked for that

    You’ll hear the answer at 1:00 um it’s a very very important time for him come going forward for the PM um I can disclose that the European research group that of Tor MPS with the new conservatives these are two of the so-called five families they’re meeting tonight to decide on strategy it’s very

    Clear that the pm has to get this through but also he might vote it might be voted down by Tori mpes led by sa bravman the former Home Secretary she told us for GB news on Friday she will vote against this measure this bill if it’s not

    Amended it’s a pretty busy week for the Prime Minister not only is he rushing back to Parliament from Leon C to deliver that statement on the air strikes of course those two crucial votes uh on or multiple votes across those two crucial days on Tuesday and Wednesday but also on the political side

    Of things outside of Westminster there has been the largest most sophisticated opinion poll published this morning in the telegraph suggesting that he’s facing a 1997 style Wipeout yes that make for quite an interesting cabinet meeting tomorrow morning uh Tom and Emily because of course 11 cabinet ministers half the Tory cabinet will

    Leave lose their seats poll becomes is right and often they have been proved right both in 2017 and 2019 by you govern today’s Daily Telegraph um he did I asked him uh in the interview about the polling and he said Not For the First Time The only

    Poll that matters is guess what the general election later this this year that’s the the answer they’ll be giving us throughout this year about any polling which goes against them of course but he I said to him you know do you get it do you get the the concern

    Felt in red wall areas areas outside London um about migration legal migration he says he does um he also said look at my record I’m trying to tackle bring down legal migration as much as illegal migration of course he’s been accused in the past of blocking

    That when he was CH Chancellor so he was seeing the PM on the front foot on tling both illegal and legal migration this week well thank you very much indeed Christopher hope we look forward to hearing your exclusive interview with the Prime Minister a little bit later

    Thank you very much now the largest poll as we were talking about since the general election has been published this morning it predicts that the Tories May face a 1997 style electoral Wipeout well joining us now for more on this is the pollster and professor of politics Matt

    Goodwin Matt thank you so much for joining us F first of all could you just expl explain for everyone why this poll is different from the sort of weekly polls we might used to be sort of normally seeing why this multi-level regression and poststratification Analysis is perhaps a little bit more

    Detailed yeah good afternoon Tom good to be with you so the MRP is a is a really fashionable dare I say it sexy method in polling at the moment you have a very you have a very large sample size lots more voters in the poll and then it’s a much more complicated statistical

    Technique which crucially has a very good track record at predicting what happens in elections now there is an argument Tom that this far out from an election which of course could be at the end of this year not necessarily over the next month or two the mrps aren’t

    Quite as powerful as they might be a month out from an election but nonetheless as you know uh better than most we’ve also had those byelections where we know the polling is translating to what we’re seeing on the ground when people are turning out to vote so if I

    Was Ry soon at looking at this and looking at those byelections and looking at all the data in the whole I would be very very concerned Matt now accompanying this poll in the telegraph today is some analysis that suggests immigration is the issue that is leading to the conservative downfall and will be

    Reflected in the election results if something doesn’t change dramatically would you concur with that and also I don’t know if you’ve seen onwards report on immigration suggesting not only that people believe immigration is actually far lower than it actually is but that nine in 10 constituencies want it to be

    Cut yeah absolutely so the first thing to say is if you ask those 2019 conservative voters the people who basically risun needs to win back if he’s going to have any chance at the election and remember about a third of those voters are currently saying they’re not going to vote at all well

    Their top priority is stopping the boats above even the cost of living crisis so that’s why team sunak are throwing everything at the Rwanda bill it’s why they’re throwing everything at the migration uh issue at least illegal migration uh issue the second thing to say about that onward polling look

    What’s interesting and I’ve written about this uh this week in in in my substack that that it’s only now that British voters are beginning to realize what has happened with migration and what happened under borish Johnson in particular it’s only now that voters are finally beginning to realize that net

    Migration has rocketed to a a record high 700,000 a year and the borders are broken now we’re all in the world of politics right we always debate these issues we’re always in the mix so this isn’t really news to us but out there in the voters that I talked to in focus

    Groups who aren’t really tuning in to the same extent as some of us you know they think that immigration was coming down after brexit they think we’ve got control of the borders you know they don’t think uh that net migration has rocketed to these these big highs so the

    Onward polling for me is really interesting because if voter now beginning to realize the extent to which immigration is now out of control that is also really really bad news for Rishi sunak it suggest he’s really going to struggle to win them over after 14 years of conservatives essentially presiding

    Over this large scale migration now famously it’s always said that a week is a long time in politics we might have six seven eight gosh nine months until the general election heaven for fend what could the Prime Minister do to turn things around can he turn things

    Around okay so here’s here’s his best chance in my mind number one the Rwanda bill goes through Parliament uh it’s it’s tightened up um the the Robert genri the sella Bran’s win the argument they get their key amendments through the bill becomes basically a much more effective piece of legislation uh that

    Then we’ll go to the Lords we’re unlikely to see this bill um coming into action and the planes taking off before the election but but nonetheless it allows Rishi suac to say look I’ve got an oven ready uh migration bill here do you want to help me put this through or

    Do you want to go and take a punt on labor that’s point one point two inflation and interest rates need to keep coming down because that allows rishy sunak and Jeremy Hunt to say well over the worst the economy is improving and point three he really needs to run a seriously energetic

    Motivational inspiring general election campaign that can get those one in3 2019 conservatives who remember Tomas saying it’s not that they’re going to go to labor they’re just not going to vote at all he’s got to get them off the sofa into the polling stations now if you can

    Do that all of those things the polls will narrow and they will narrow you know we’re not going to see these 20 point labor leads at the election we’re going to see I suspect a labor lead of somewhere between 10 and 15 points but sunak is going to have to squeeze all of

    These things at the same time and hope the reform vote begins to get squeezed too in order to even have a chance but as I say I give them a five % chance Tom that’s it it’s a 5% chance and if you know you know probabilities you’ll know

    I’m basically saying you know they don’t really have much of a chance at all although that’s what the New York Times gave Donald Trump in 2016 so Never Say Never yeah very difficult as any policy changes enacted now may not uh bear fruit in time for the election thank you

    Very much Matt Goodwin pller and professor of politics of course and also there’s the issue that if the bill is toughened up the Rwanda bill that is it could end up with Rwanda pulling out yes well that is always the risk if they go too far then do do uh do the Rwandan

    Government think always that worrying or have the Rwandan government been lent on by some International institutions have some lawyers been writing to Mr kagami who knows um but clearly some seismic debates taking place Tuesday and Wednesday this week and of course again that interview with the Prime Minister

    Will be hearing it live well not live but for the first time on GB news at 1:00 yes now the defense secretary says initial strikes against houti rebels in Yemen are a one-off and not part of a campaign of military attacks in a speech at Lancaster house Grant sha set out how

    He hopes the UK will lead on deterring threats to the world order he praised Britain’s Swift response to the violence in the Red Sea stating it should be a blueprint for future interventions H well joining us have persistently violated the law menacing commercial vessels in the region

    In the Red Sea we’ve seen how brilliant the Royal Navy been acting in self-defense against the Intolerable and growing number of hotti attacks and earlier this month the world sent a very clear message to the Iranian back houes end your illegal and unjustified actions stop risking innocent lives cease

    Threatening the global economy we could not have been clearer with our warning which they chose to ignore and enough was enough well joining us now is GB news home and security editor Mark White and Mark where do things go from here because it looks like the hooes are not

    Relenting no I mean it’s obviously the stated aim of the US and the UK that these strikes that took place at the end of last week were Li Ed proportionate and necessary but the ball really is in the hoodies Court in terms of how they respond Nick next and we know there was

    Uh a missile strike that landed short of an oil tanker that happened on Friday and then again reports just yesterday that a US warship the USS uh lampon was uh attacked or targeted by a cruise missile believed to have been fired uh by the hooes that was taken out by this

    US Navy destroyer so uh some real concern clearly that going forward that uh as they’ve said very publicly uh the hooes may decide uh that they are not going to bow to the might of the US and the UK and that they will uh continue to

    Fire back um in in terms of the actual strikes we know that they uh took place uh in evolving RAF typhoons that flew 3,000 miles in a roundtrip from Cyprus as well as uh mostly us assets involved in that that’s the kind of thing that Grant Sha’s defense secretary says is uh

    Part of the the uh the growing sort of global threat culture we we live in a much more dangerous and unpredictable world and as part of that going forward he committed to 20,000 th000 British Personnel taking part in a massive NATO exercise that will take place to Mark

    The 75th anniversary of NATO here’s what he said on that UK will be sending some 20,000 Personnel to lead one of NATO’s largest deployments since the end of the Cold War exercise steadfast Defender our carrier strike group will be out in full force with our magnificent Flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth

    Leading the way and flying from her decks will be the fifth generation F35 lightning Jets well you heard the defense secretary there talking about the Magnificent aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth uh and her F35 combat jets that will take part in this exercise but the fact is of course we’ve got a real

    World crisis in the Red Sea at the moment uh that has been s sing uh for many weeks now and threats have been made by the US and the UK uh about the potential for uh the UK and the US and others to strike against the hooes but

    The the HMS Elizabeth was not sent now there are of course as you’ll have seen lots of reports suggesting that that’s done to a very significant man Manpower crisis within uh the Navy and the Navy um support armed the Royal Fleet auxiliary that meant a supply ship wasn’t able to

    Support HMS Queen Elizabeth and it’s not gone to the region because of that however uh we heard from the defense procurement Minister speaking to Camila Tomy just yesterday saying that no he could confirm that HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales the other aircraft carrier are at Readiness

    They’re in Portsmouth and available to be sent well thank you Mark uh Mark White there our home and security editor now uh coming up a report finds there were serious failings by senior police and Council bosses leaving girls at the mercy of Rochdale grooming gangs will be

    Because of failings by senior police and Council bosses yes earlier this morning mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham spoke to the press report being published today finds unequivocal that failures that could and should have been avoided were in fact repeated in the words of the report it represents a quotes lamentable strategic

    Failure by leaders in the greater Manchester system at the time over many years greater Manch police failed to give the investigation of these serious crimes the priority and resources necessary well joining us now from Manchester is our reporter Charlie Peters who’s done a lot of work into

    This issue including a uh a documentary for us here on GB news now Charlie looking at some of the lines coming out these key findings from this report some of them are very shocking I found the fact that there could potentially be dozens of men still potentially well

    Could cause potential risk still out there in the area haven’t been apprehended that’s right some 96 men still posing a risk to Children one of the key top lines coming out of this fiery and emotional press conference and the attached 173 page reports its findings are damning it’s extremely hard

    To actually summarize just the extent of the failures that it has found within greater manester police in particular the Rochdale District but also local children children services but for Maggie Oliver and Sara Ram the two whistleblowers at the center of the r Jael grooming gang Scandal today is a

    Moment of vindication because all the warnings and reports that they were making back in the time of this Scandal erupting were confirmed by the reports team this report was launched in 2017 it’s the third review of four interch child sexual exploitation within greater Manchester it also found appalling and deplorable practices by local

    Authorities and multi- agency approaches in one case a girl had an aborted fetus kept back for DNA records without the consent of her or her family she was just 13 at the time and in another astonishing case the prosecuting team for one abuse gang chose to name one of

    Its victims as a co-conspirator and what was described as a tactical decision both of these moves described as deplorable and they are among several strategic failures to disrupt The Gangs discovered between 2004 and 2012 where the reports said they found compelling evidence of widespread abuse and for this the chief consle for greater

    Manchester police Steven Watson said sorry I am so sorry that your childhoods were so irretrievably blighted and scarred with such profound consequences one of the primary responsibilities of the police is to protect the vulnerable from the cruel and the predatory and in this well that response there by Steven

    Watson the chief consal was received with some negativity in the press conference with Maggie Oliver saying that she took exception to his apology this report talks about the past but what I want to do is to bring it from the past into the present and into

    The future because my work in the Maggie Oliver Foundation now means that I have current information about what is going on today and I would say categorically and I am sorry Mr Watson but the failures that happened then are still happening now the abuse is still ongoing the

    Failures are being repeated this is the allegation made by Maggie Oliver the review team will now go into their fourth and final report which is on contemporary approaches to csse where Maggie Oliver’s claims will be challenged Charlie Peters thank you so much for bringing us that of course

    Three qus of the way through this process this this Litany of reports and it still just doesn’t feel like many lessons are being learned an extraordinary story there from Manchester and that’s a key point from Maggie Oliver there that this abuse hasn’t finished it’s still ongoing there are people out

    There who haven’t been apprehended the risk is still there to Children up and down the country have we leared the lessons we need to of course greater Manchester police would say would refute some of those claims um but uh stay with us here on GB news we’re heading State

    Polling lead over his Republican Rivals well joining us now as spokesperson for Republicans overseas Jennifer Ying thank you very much for coming into the studio so tell us what is this Iowa caucus and why is it so important sure so um for one thing it it kind of kicks

    Off the primary season I know Tom you just said it it’s nine months ahead of the elections but it kicks off the primary season it it’s um Iowa then New Hampshire um and then South Carolina and then we go into Super Tuesday in March and the the reason a caucus which is

    What Iowa does which is a little bit different than say a normal primary is that it’s very old school picture a gymnasium or a town hall or just a physical location and people have to show up there and you um you vote in person right paper ballots very old

    School the other uh thing that’s like what we do at our elections exactly exactly so no mailin um and no actual just it’s people kind of um getting in line with who who they uh who they back the other thing uh that can go on is you can have either the

    Candidates be at various caucus locations or they can send a um like a delegate um for for their and that’s very different from how we vote in the UK where candidates and representatives aren’t allowed in the hall in which but in cauc the but it’ses these early

    Voting States really set the trend for what’s going to happen if if Donald Trump wins Big today that would be uh a huge indicator of what’s to come similarly if there’s an upset if there’s a clear second Challenger who arises out of today we could see people dropping

    Out of the race it could go down to a head versus head whether that’s uh Donald Trump versus uh Governor DeSantis or versus nicah Haley you’re absolutely right and one of the interesting things about tonight versus say the 2016 cockus is there’s only um a few people left in

    It right versus in 2016 there were I mean many many many candidates we still in so that’s the number one thing um number two like you said I mean Donald Trump is so far ahead I think nationally he’s ahead by 50 points um in Iowa he’s

    Ahead by about 30 points so what we’re going to be looking out for is um if he does win um by how much right how strong of a win does he have and number the second thing we’ll be looking at is how DeSantis and Haley perform

    DeSantis has been to all 99 counties he has the backing of the governor as well as another very important activist um a man called uh Bob Vander Platz which is um he’s an Evangelical um Iowa is very rural very um the Christian evangelicals have a big say usually and who wins so

    Ted Cruz won the states back in 2016 unexpectedly beating Trump mainly on the back of that Evangelical vote exactly right that that’s what happen so that’s what we’ll be looking out for um and then the next one of course is um New Hampshire and that’s a more you know

    East Coast kind of Centrist um the other thing uh that happens in New Hampshire versus in Iowa only um registered Republicans can um vote in this caucus New Hampshire you can be an independent you can be a Democrat right so you’ve got some strategic voting right and Nikki heli um

    Is thought she will do better with those sort of Voters in New Hampshire what sort of numbers are we talking in terms of people who will be voting in this caucus yeah good question so the um the highest turnout on record I believe is 187,000 people now let’s keep in mind uh

    I hate when people make excuses for the weather but we’re supposed to have like negative 24 I want to ask you about that next I’ve lived here 20 years I’m not sure how to do that in uh you know in British uh it’s very cold it’s very cold and subzero temperatures sub zero

    Temperatures so that could affect it now how that will affect it so Trump basically let’s look at the enthusiasm that these certain candidates voters have Trump has an enthusiasm rating of about 88% which is very very high so people are going to be going through the snow to get there uh DeSantis digging

    Through to get to the hall exactly not too far behind in the 70s as far as his enthusiasm and again the governor and um Bob Vander Platz and um he’s done well there um uh Nikki Haley I believe it’s a little lower it’s in the 50s and a lot

    Of people look at her as sort of the anti-trump the anti- um populist vote someone who’s more Center so again we’ll see we’ll see there’s been there’s been quite a lot of and tell me if I’m correct me if I’m wrong but it seems to be that there’s been the positive

    Coverage of Nikki Haley has been ramping up somewhat completely you’re very right uh she is the donor’s Choice the big donor’s choice and by that I don’t just mean Republicans I mean some very left-leaning Reed Hoffman you know from the PayPal Mafia and everything so

    You’ve got to look at um why do these people um why are these people backing Nikki haly obviously they don’t want to see Trump back in the white house um they probably look at DeSantis as well as Trump light you know he’s got some great policies um I’ve been in this

    Studio you know talking of to santis for for months but um you know the voters right now as it stands do prefer Trump so Nikki Haley um there are some of us that believe she’s a good um she’s a good Biden hedge you know so if the

    Democrats uh don’t get Biden or whoever ends up being the nominee they’ll be okay with her right because she’s a lot more um yet and yet the battle right now seems to really be for second place between DeSantis and Haley who comes out as the stronger Challenger today will be

    The big big thing we we could see this evening in the United States tomorrow morning in the UK one of these two drop out we could we could and the person uh probably um if Ronda santis underperforms that’s not good because he’s put so much effort into it and

    Chances are he’s not going to do as well as Haley in New Hampshire so he will probably um have to re-evaluate his candidacy if Trump just wa overperforms maybe both of them do and then let’s not uh forget VI who’s been you know he’s kind of an outlier does not have the

    Numbers by any means but um he has been um very present in Iowa with a very confusing message back Trump vote for me I don’t quite understand what his that got a little drama in the end so yes um but and just very very quickly when will

    We find out the result it it’s quite quick like we should know by our time tomorrow okay great very interesting story talk to you thank you very much Jennifer y spokesperson for Republicans overseas well a little bit closer to home now you might not know but today the 15th of January marks National

    Pothole day yes the state of UK roads is often a cause of a concern amongst motorists and research by the AA shows they dealt with over 600,000 pothole related incidents just last year now that costs motorists an estimated 500 million worth of vehicle damage wow yeah well joining us from Staffordshire is GB

    News reporter will Hollis and will I’m led to believe you’re chasing some pothole repairing trucks he’s got his high visz on yes well today is exactly the kind of day where you’re going to see more potholes forming on British roads we’ve got wet icy conditions a bit of wear and

    Tear in there maybe not so much road maintenance as there has been previously and that’s when pothole form and today is the day that an array of Road user organizations including the AA including JCB and the motorcyclist Federation are coming together to say to the government

    You need to do more to create a permanent fix to the pothole problems here we are in Staffordshire is on the doorstep of uh JCB British manufacturers Depot close to stoon Trent where we are right now and that’s where they’ve been showing off the new pothole Pro which uh

    The JCB organization says is one solution for the pothole problems that we have right now now this Alliance has come together to push the government to act and part of that is by having a five-point plan a couple of the points on that plan relate to releasing funding

    Which was announced earlier last year in November time for 8.3 billion pounds in additional funds for Road repairs they want to see that funding released more quickly right now because as the president of the AA Edmund King said earlier today speaking on GB news this

    Is a problem today it’s not a problem in the future it’s a problem right now and as part of national pothole day the AA has released brand new figures that show a five-year high for problems with potholes more than 600,000 Dam uh incidents of damage to cars caused specifically by potholes a

    Lot of them uh damage to alloy wheels damage to tires punctures and they estimate that that’s around five uh half a billion pound 500 million pounds in damage to Road users it is the number one concern for drivers because it can damage your car costing you hundreds of

    Pounds thousands of pounds in a year but for motorcyclists for cyclists it can quite literally be the difference between life and death on the roads and that’s why we’ve seen uh as well as uh vehicle organizations as well as things like uh the AA why we’ve seen uh motorcyclist federations as well calling

    On the government to act now uh to stop the pothole problem on National pothole day well thank you very much will Hollis who is in stafire now potholes may seem a bit trivial sometimes when we’re talking about geopolitics International Affairs we all have a story we all have

    A story I think potholes me more than almost any other political issue i’ I’ve I’ve been um I’ve hit a pothole before on my bicycle and flipped over forward sliced through my lip I mean the way even even just driving down a road that’s just slightly too bumpy it makes

    You feel like you’re in a third world country Al they can ruin your car yeah but uh in uh more uh perhaps more important maybe I don’t I don’t think there’s much more important than po disruption to global trade and subsequent military intervention in the Middle East could see a spike in

    Inflation that as the price of oil gas and international shipping are all seeing Rises well this comes as the Tories were poised for interest rate Cuts although not their decision a decision of the bank of England playing the long game in the leadup to this year’s general election not sure what

    That’s all about but the geopolitics could get in the way could plans for a recovered economy all be scuppered well joining us is economics and business editor for GB news Liam heligan with on the money Liam just how soon would we see an effect from everything that’s going on in the Middle East the disruption for trade the delays all of that when might that be felt in the UK well what I would say Tom and Emily nice to see you back

    Emily um is that actually so far even though we’ve had ATT tax in the Red Sea the gateway to the SE Canal which is where 10% of the world’s oil travels every day even though we’ve had the hijacking of a big oil tanker 2,000 km

    To the east in The Straits of hormos the entrance to the Persian Gulf which accounts for 25% of the world’s oil flows every day so far oil markets have been relatively calm we’ve seen an increase of 3 or 4% in the price of a barrel of oil last week Brent crude went

    Over $80 a barrel but nowhere near $1100 a barrel so so far I think we can be relatively reassured that a combination of Saudi Arabia pumping more oil the US pumping more all dipping into their strategic petroleum reserves it’s keeping energy markets for now relatively calm but but but we have an

    Inflation number coming out on Wednesday I can’t tell you how many people in the GB News Room have said to me this morning Liam Liam what’s the inflation number going to be I’m fixing my mortgage what should I do yada yada yada and I say always say I’m not qualified

    To give Financial advice but this is what I think look I think the inflation number on Wednesday we’ve seen inflation come down from double digits at the end of 2022 of course the target is 2% so more than five times the target we’re now at 3.9% we’ve seen a steady

    Reduction particularly in recent months that’s why the political narrative has emerged that the bank of England is going to soon cut interest rates of 5.25% there might even be two or three interest rate Cuts this year which is why the Tories have decided to end speculation that they might be an

    Election in May and say actually it’s going to be in the second half of the Year probably October or November so I do think the inflation number on Wednesday will be benign I do think it’ll be like 3.8 3.7% maybe but I don’t think the bank of England is going to

    Cut interest rates next month or even the month after I think the first interest rate cut is going to come April or even May mortgage rates are already coming down to reflect the fact that the bank of England is going to cut rates having said all that if this

    Geopolitical tension escalates if the Saudis stop pumping more oil if we start seeing big disruptions in The Straits of hormes rather than the oneoff event we had last week all bets are off a I’m we’re squeezed we’re coming up to the end of the hour very is there a risk

    That some of these big oil producers could restrict Supply in order to you know boost the prices Emily there’s this thing called OPEC the exporters cartel which has existed my whole life which is designed to restrict oil supply the Saudis uh the qataris they’ve all been

    Doing it for ages well that’s all we have time for but catch you at the next hour looks like things are heating up box spoilers sponsors of weather on GB news Hello Alex berel here again with your latest GB News weather forecast the cold themes going to continue as we go

    Through much of this week and with that there is the risk of some heavy snow for some of us at the moment there is a cold Arctic air plunging down from the north across the UK as we are sandwiched in between high pressure to the west and

    Low pressure towards the east on that Northerly wind we have already seen plenty of snow showers and they will continue overnight most likely across parts of Northern Scotland but also some Western areas and also Eastern Parts in it areas exposed to that Northerly wind we have the risk of seeing some further

    Wintry showers further in Land staying largely dry with clear skies and as a result we’re going to see temperatures dropping most places falling a few degrees below freezing so a fairly widespread and for some of us harsh Frost first thing tomorrow morning otherwise and as we go through tomorrow

    Watch out for a spell of more persistent rain sleet and snow pushing in across parts of Northern Ireland Central Southern Scotland and into Northern England too could bring several centimeters of snow so some disruption is possible further north across Northern parts of Scotland more snow showers likely here meanwhile staying

    Dry bright and often Sunny across the rest of England and Wales but staying cold cold into Wednesday and we need to watch out for a system towards the south of us it may avoid the UK but there’s a chance it may just Fringe Southern counties and if it does so that could

    Bring some disruptive snow elsewhere still the chance of some further snow showers for a time it’s likely to turn dry as we go towards the end of the weekend temperatures will start to pick up just that little bit too bye-bye that warm feeling inside from box boilers sponsors of weather on GB news Your weekend starts here with Friday Night Live with me Mark Dolan 8 till 9 on GB news big stories big guests and big laughs as we get you ready for a cracking weekend that’s Friday Night Live with Mark Dolan Fridays 8il 9: on GB news bring your own drinks the emissions

    Chance here for diversity of opinion to be expressed which you don’t find elsewhere it’s really exciting we don’t hold back we’re free to say how decisions that are taken here affects us all around the country only on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel good afternoon Britain good

    Want to hear from you GB news Britain’s News Channel good afternoon Britain it is 1:00 on Monday the 15th of January sunac exclusive as the Prime Minister prepares for Rwanda rebellions on all fronts this week and faces oral Wipeout according to the most authoritative opinion poll since the 2019 election the Prime Minister Under Pressure sits down with

    Our political editor watch that exclusive in full in 10 minutes time yes and child abuse failings dozens of men still pose a potential risk to children in Rochdale warns a new report into the grooming gang Scandal setting out the multiple failur by the greater Manchester police and the local

    Authority have the right lessons been learned and according to a brand new book The Late Queen was infuriated by claims from Harry and Megan that she had given her blessing for their daughter to be named lilibet which of course was her own childhood nickname we’ll have the very latest with our Royal Correspondent we’re going to be hearing from rushi sunak in uh about nine minutes I cannot wait well you sound a bit sarcastic that’s s sarcastic the point is it’s not just listening to Rishi sunak it’s the pointed questions from our political asor Christopher hope particularly on some of these Rwanda rebellions that

    We’re expecting tomorrow and on Wednesday yes he’s under quite a lot of pressure to toughen up the legislation but then from other parts s of the party they’re very uneasy about the Rwanda plan to begin with and very uneasy about the idea of toughening it up so he’s

    He’s stuck between a rock and a hard place isn’t he rashy and this is why a sitdown exclusive interview is so important because you can get to the detailed points that you can’t do in a Q&A session that you can’t really understand from a speech where Rishi

    Sunak can sort of use his own pre-written pre-prepared answers this sit down interview will hopefully get to some of those answers that we all want to hear yes so stay tuned for that in about 8 minutes hearing exclusively from the Prime Minister but let’s get your headlines with Sophia thank you Emily good afternoon it’s 2 minutes past 1 I’m Sophia wler in the GB Newsroom some breaking news out of Israel at least 19 people have been injured in a suspected stabbing and car ramming attack near Tel Aviv images from the scene in the community of rahana show several damaged Vehicles

    As Emergency Services tend to multiple of injuries a spokesperson for the police told local media that it’s not yet known whether the incident is Terror related police say it’s unclear how many people are involved and it’s possible that one or more suspects May remain at large this is a developing story we will

    Bring you more as we get it to other news more than 200 migrants cross the English channel in small boats at the weekend the home office says 124 people made the Crossing in three small boats on Saturday which was followed by 139 migrants in four dingies on Sunday that’s despite the poor weather

    Conditions it comes after five people died on the French side of the channel yesterday after getting into difficulties just off the coast near bin the Prime Minister says British strikes on houthi rebels in Yemen are aimed at de-escalating tensions as he prepares to address MP later the government insists its decision not to

    Consult Parliament regarding the strikes was important for reasons of operational security following a series of attacks on commercial ships passing through the Red Sea fishy sunak says tensions in the region must not be allowed to boil over our aim is to deescalate tensions in the region and actually restore

    Stability back to the area we faced an escalating series of attacks from the houis on commercial shipping including an attack on uh Royal Navy warship that’s unacceptable it’s right that we took proportionate targeted action against military targets uh to send a strong message that that behavior is

    Unacceptable it was the last result it came after the end of exhaustive diplomatic activity including a un Security Council resolution and labor leader sakir stama says he understands the urgency surrounding the situation but warns the case should be made for further military action the vast majority of people

    Across the country recognize that when urgent operational uh issues arise as they did in this case uh then it’s not possible to have a vote in Parliament beforehand particularly if it’s a joint operation I think it’s fundamentally different if there’s a sustained campaign with the deployment of troops

    And in those circumstances I do think it’s important that the prime minister of the day uh comes to Parliament with a verbal case setting out the legal basis for action the UK will send 20,000 troops across Europe as Britain looks to counter an alarming rise in Russian aggression it’ll include deployments

    From the Army the Navy and the Raf in what’s being described as the largest NATO exercise since the Cold War defense secretary Grant shaps is calling it a vital reassurance against the Putin Menace Britain has often accomplished the seemingly impossible before our history is LED with moments when we Face

    Down the threat and we have tried but looking ahead we are in a new era and we must be prepared to deter our enemies to lead our allies and defend our nation girls were left at the mercy of pedophile grooming gangs due to failings by senior police and Council leaders

    That’s according to a comprehensive new report covering nearly 10 years of failed investigations by greater Manchester police it highlights years of widespread organized sexual abuse of children in the Rochdale area despite what it described as compelling evidence reported to authorities as early as 2004 greater Manchester police chief

    Constable Steven Watson says the report paints a damning picture the findings evidenced within it are shocking Stark and shameful it speaks to the systemic fa failure of various agencies to pull together and do the obvious and the right thing and above all it outlines in painful detail all of those missed

    Opportunities where decisive action could and should have been taken commuters are in for a fresh series of delays as the aslef union announces more strike action drivers will take part in a rolling program of one-day walkouts from the end of next month including a ban on overtime the

    Union says it’s aiming to put pressure on what it described as a toned deaf Tory government calling for drivers to get their first pay rise in five years this is GB news across the UK on TV in your car on your digital Radio and on your smart speaker by saying play GB

    News now it’s back to Tom and Emily well as we were saying Ry sunak fac is rebellions on quite a few fronts this week that’s as crucial parliamentary debates take place on the Rwanda bill now Small Boat Crossings have resumed after a spell of bad weather and tragically over the weekend five migrants died in the English

    Channel this comes as the Prime Minister visits Lee on SE in Essex today he sat down with our political editor Christopher hope for a GB news exclusive interview let’s take a listen prime minister thank you for joining us today on G BB news five people died this weekend trying to cross

    The to the UK will your randil stop the deaths yeah it’s it’s a another tragic example of what this illegal trade is doing to innocent people and you know my you know your heartbreaks when you hear these stories about people dying they’re being exploited by criminal gangs and

    That’s why we’ve got to resolve this issue there’s lots of reasons why and we should talk about them but one of them is that innocent people are being exploited by criminal gangs that’s not right there’s nothing compassionate about it and in fact the compassionate thing to do is to tackle illegal

    Migration and that’s what our Rwanda scheme will do but that’s just one of the reasons why it’s important that we resolve this issue and because fundamentally illegal migration just isn’t fair you know we’re a country where we play by the rules we put in our fair share we wait our turn and illegal

    Migration undermines that sense of fairness which I think is fundamental to our national character and the Trust on which our system has built and it’s for that reason especially that we really must tackle illegal migration that’s why I made it one of my five priorities and

    I’m determined to do what it takes to to fix it our views that GBS are very exercised by it as you might Imagine David is emailed in to say that the plan is political slight of hand to give an illusion of activity to appease voters and Andy another uh viewer he says the

    Rwanda policy is a complete waste of time it won’t work it won’t deter 60 of your own MPS including fell bravman and your friend Robert jri also don’t think currently drafted it works are they right well I to all those questions I’d say well let’s look at the track record

    First right I’ve been prime minister for a year just over and in that time we’ve actually reduced the number of people coming here by over a third that hasn’t happened before no one else has managed to achieve that that’s because we’ve done lots of good work to tackle this

    Issue because I care about it and I I’ve put a lot of effort into doing something about it so that should give people a sense of my seriousness of purpose about tackling illegal migration the fact that it’s down for the first time as a result of all that activities and and look will

    It will it work I believe deterrence does work and the reason I have confidence in that is because of our Albania program after I became prime minister I negotiated a new deal with Albania which means we can now return and did return thousands and thousands of illegal migrants back to Albania last

    Year and you know what the numbers coming from Albania dropped by over 90% right that shows that this deterrence works there people come here illegally but know that they can’t stay and that they will be returned you know what they stop coming especially when they’re paying people thousands of pounds to

    Facilitate the crossing no point in doing that if they’re not going to end up staying so like I do believe deterrence Works our program with Albania shows that it works and that’s why it’s important that we get Rwanda up and running that’s the best long-term solution to fixing this problem once and

    For all you said last week in Arrington you wanted bright ideas that could improve the bill have you seen any yet or any of the ideas put down by the right of the party bright ideas and will you accept them look I’ve always said that I’m happy to have a dialogue with

    Anyone who thinks they might have an idea that will improve the effectiveness of the bill whilst making sure that it’s still legally compliant maintains rwanda’s participation in the scheme obviously important we might have all the ideas you want but ultimately if that means Randa will stop participating

    In the scheme that’s no good at all because a policy without anyone anywhere to send people to isn’t a policy that’s going to do anyone any good um and happy to have that dialogue I’m I’m confident that the bill that we’ve put forward will work it’s also the toughest piece

    Of migration legislation that anyone’s ever seen goes further than anyone previously was prepared to go and if you look at it very practically it systematically shuts off all the Avenues of claim that people have tried to make before Asylum blocked modern slavery blocked Rwanda isn’t safe blocked the

    Fact that you’ll be sent somewhere from Rwanda blocked human rights Furious human rights claims they’ve been disapplied so if you go through these things systematically all these challenges have been blocked and that’s why leading Supreme former Supreme Court judges leading lawyers have all said that they

    Think the bill will do the job that it needs to do so on that very point then would you overrule European judges trying to stop flights taking off so-called rule 39 orders now I’ve been very clear I won’t let a foreign Court stop us from getting flights off and

    This deterrent working now there’s a clause in the bill that says very specifically that it is for ministers to decide whether to comply with these rule 39 rulings as they called I would not have put that clause in the bill if I was not prepared to use it now look I I

    Don’t think Strasburg will intervene because of the checks and balances in our system and of course there will be individual circumstances that people want us to consider on the facts but if you’re asking me you know are there circumstances in which I’m prepared to ignore those rule 39s then yes of course

    There are why have your party failed to control legal or illegal migration since 2010 look all I can tell you is the track record that I’ve got over the last uh over the last period as prime minister the numbers first of all are far too high

    Right I’m not not in any way going to say anything other than that the numbers of legal migration in this country are too high they’re putting unsustainable pressure on our Public Services on local communities that’s not right I supported brexit many of your viewers supported brexit partly because they wanted us to

    Control legal migration now I’m determined to make sure that we do that and bring the numbers down we’ve announced a series of measures that will tackle it they will reduce the numbers by hundreds of thousands tackling student dependence social care Visa which has been exploited and raising the

    Amount of money that people need to earn if they’re going to migrate here so that we don’t undercut British workers no one has done anything like that before they will reduce the numbers by around 300,000 and bring it back down to sustainable levels that’s what I want to

    See uh and as I said those policies kicked in at the beginning of this year so people will start to see them working over the course of this year it is a problem that middle class professional people benefit from cheap labor I mean do you personally get the anger felt in

    Some red wo area certainly about the numbers coming in yeah I said the numbers are too high of course I mean I voted for brexit I supported brexit partly because I think it’s important that we have control over legal migration I say that as coming from a family of immigrants

    Right this is about having a sustainable level of migration and making sure that we’re also investing in jobs for people here at home it’s the flip side of this also by the way is why we’re investing more in skills and reforming our wealth welfare system right if we want more

    People to be doing jobs here so we’re less reliant on foreign labor we’ve got to be investing in skills apprenticeships that’s what this government is doing unlike the labor party that wants to Harve the number of apprenticeships but we’re also reforming our welfare system where there are far

    Too many people who have been classified as not fit to work I don’t think that’s right I don’t think that’s fair I want to support those people into work because that’s good for them and their families there dignity in work and we need to have a system that is

    Sustainable and if we do that as we’re doing because we seen a worrying rise over the past several years and the number of people as I said being signed off as sick now we are going to reform that lots of people will criticize it but it’s the right thing to do for those

    People for the country but also it will help us be less reliant on foreign labor which is something that we all want to see today’s poll in the telegraph from Yugo this Dreadful news for your party we by the coast here the ti has gone out

    Has it gone out for the Tory party look there’s lots of polls all the time there’ll be hundreds of polls between now and the election but the only poll that counts is the one that actually happens at the general election and look the choice of that election is clear

    Right you can stick with our plan that is working or you can go back to square one with Kier stara right I I firmly believe that the last year or so hasn’t been easy but we’ve turned the corner the country’s pointing in the right direction and the progress that we are

    Making is starting to deliver dividends for people you can see that just last weekend we cut taxes for everyone in work that’s that’s a tax cut worth £450 for someone earning £35,000 that shows that the progress we’ve made on the economy harving inflation is is delivering dividends the plan is working

    The alternative is going back to square one with Kama he’s been leader of the opposition for four years not once has he said what he would do differently and that’s because he doesn’t have a plan he just Snipes from the sidelines and we know that they don’t have a plan to fund

    Their 28 billion pound borrowing spree that just means tax is going up for people he certainly doesn’t have a plan to control our borders and stop the boats he doesn’t have a plan to control welfare he can’t tell you what he’s going to say on any of these we’re doing

    A cup of GB news tea here on the coast in in Essex do you worry that you’re not everyone’s cup of tea that your your wealth which is earned means you can’t relate to what Ordinary People worry about you know I’d say a couple of things about that you know I I never

    Heard that during the pandemic when I was Chancellor when I stood up and announced the Furlow scheme no one said that then right because I think fundamentally people judge you by the content of your character and your actions and that’s how people will judge me and look my family immigrated to this country

    Without very much you know my parents worked really hard for to provide a better life for me and my brother and sister I worked really hard for everything that I’ve got that’s the type of country I believe in and if people want to use that as a you know political

    Smear or attack I actually think it speaks volumes about their lack of ambition for our country than it does about me and my background and just finally did you winse when you see your tax bill excuse me do you do you winse when you see your tax bill you look I

    Want taxes to come down for everyone and that’s why I’m pleased that because we’ve halved inflation last year because wages are now Rising we’ve managed to grip spending and borrowing and Welfare we’re now able to cut people’s taxes so just the other weekend a significant tax

    Cut everyone in work £450 on average for someone earning 35,000 I’ve said I want to cut taxes more when it’s responsible to do so we also had a massive tax cut for businesses that was announced which hundreds of businesses described as the single most transformative thing we

    Could do for growth and investment in our country and look that’s my plan that’s our plan we want to control spending and Welfare and and and so that we can cut taxes we are now delivering that as I said stick with the plan rather than go back to square one with K

    Sta because that’s just going to mean 28 billion pounds of spending that he doesn’t know how to pay for and high taxes for everyone Prim Minister thank you for joining us on a freezing cold we’re keeping warm with the GB news team thank you for joining us thanks very

    Much well there you go a rather chilly interview there what did you make of that let I’ve very much enjoyed uh the prime minister drinking out of one of these uh lovely GB news uh mugs available uh on the GB news shop they little plug um although I’m not sure how

    Much the pr of drinking from one will actually help sell things um a few a few of you have already got in touch to say actually how much it annoys you when richy suak congratulates himself about cutting the numbers by a third lots of people writing in that uh uh Mark White

    Has rather debunked uh some of that some of that but I think the Albania thing does prove a point right if you have somewhere to send people back they do stop coming so the Albania Lan coming by Lor instead well not as many not as many

    Well there you go let us know what you think gbvs atgb news.com but we’re going to speak to Christopher hope the man of the day who is with us now so there you go some interesting points raised and also some interesting answers from the Prime Minister what would you pick

    Out well I’m still here in Leon C where it’s warmed up Tom and Emily since that interview took place in about minus one degrees I think it was so cold but the PM certainly got quite feisty there I think about whether he believes in the reasons why he’s got

    To cut uh the migration numbers some people say he doesn’t understand that man of of privilege he’s worked really hard to be to be one of the richest MPS in Parliament he said he won’t uh take any truck with those kind of political smears about about his own wealth in in

    Which will have resonated uh North from here back in Westminster he made very clear that he would overrule the European Court of Human Rights if it try to stop any planes taking off he hopes by May if he can get his bill through the House of Lords after the House of

    Commons this week no no word there about uh any amendments now we heard from soel braan the former Home Secretary um on GB news on Friday she’s saying there that she wants to see in writing in terms uh measures to tighten up to harden up um

    The bill which she feels and so does Robert jri her number two formerly in the home office they both think it’s not enough this Rwanda Bill to stop these flights taking off he won’t do anything in writing he’s saying believe me trust me when I say it look at my record I’ve

    Cut numbers by a third with my deal with Albania although some say that was helped by um more difficult weather last year although again the government hits back and says the number of days when no one traveled was the same last year as year before so everyone’s R about

    Whether um sunx measur are are making any progress he would say they are um it’s about fairness he said he said he voted for brexit ice boed brexit we have control over legal migration he says there that legal number will come down this year as new measures come in on

    Salary levels from legal migrants and also families coming in with other migrants um he kind of is’s trying to say he gets it to prepared to overrule on these rule 39s from European Court of Human Rights um and also you heard him didn’t you brush off the polling here

    From yugov today this MRP polling which has forecast the result of the 2017 and 2019 election this idea of a labor Landslide he wouldn’t go there he said there were many more polls to come hundreds more polls he said this year I found it fascinating how I I

    Think for one of the first times ever that I’ve heard him speak about he spoke about his own family’s background there’s this impression that he’s always been a multi- multi-millionaire with hundreds of millions of pounds but he said fairly movingly that his family his parents came to this country

    Legally uh with very little and they worked hard started a business uh run that Pharmacy got on in life do you think Chris this might be the start of something new that we’re going to hear from the Prime Minister a bit more about his own family background that’s right he did come come

    Come in finally move his family was a pharmacist um yeah and he the parent the family saved to send him to Winchester he did really well working for a hedge fund in the city of course he married well into the family of aart and myty which owns a chunk of emphasis in India

    Um but yeah he’s saying look I I’ve made my own chanes I’ve worked really hard for these I didn’t necessarily get a good start in life I’ve worked hard to make that work um trust me and what I say and his point is interesting isn’t

    It when he said um made that point it started last week Tom and Emily with that line from Sir saying that the PM doesn’t get Britain well he’s saying look I do get it I understand um why it’s fair that you cue to come to this country you can’t pay several thousand

    Pounds and risk your life over by small boats so he’s trying to say to people look trust me look at what I’ve done he said when he stepped in to help um people worried about their Futures with the Furlow scheme no one then said well it’s all right you you because you’re

    Rich you’re well off no one raised the issue of his own wealth when that came out everyone applauded it or many people did and I think his point is trust me on my actions not who I am not who no where my wealth comes from well yeah thank you

    Very much Christopher hope our political editor there with that exclusive sitdown interview with rishy sunak um interesting isn’t it I’m not sure the fact that his uh you know family immigrated here and and and opened a pharmacy is really going to matter when it comes down I think it’s important

    That’s the story of many people isn’t it it certainly is but it I think people have this impression that his family are landed gentry billionaires when he went to Winchester college or something like this he did but I I believe he was on a scholarship there but but you know he

    Didn’t have the most I’m not I’m saying of the earth he wasn’t a billionaire it’s not a vote decided no I don’t think so that there you go let us know what you think about that interview interesting um but coming up new research by Think Tank onward has shown

    That the public wildly underestimate the numbers of migrants coming to this country curious we’ll be joined by by The Man Behind the pole after this break GB news is Britain’s News Channel and now you can support it all you have to do is scan that QR code that’s up on

    Channel have a great Saturday night with me Leo Cur on this Saturday night Showdown it’s a crazy world out there so come and make fun of it with me my panel of comedians and a couple of people who actually know what they’re talking about this Saturday night Showdown is your

    Front row ticket to the clown show every Saturday only on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s News Channel good afternoon Britain it’s 28 minutes P 1 and some breaking news now radical islamist group hbut terer is to be prescribed as a terrorist organization and banned by the British government with ministers laying an

    Order in Parliament this very lunchtime Paving the way for the group to be outlawed yes so joining us now is GB news home and security editor Mark white with more of the detail how significant is this it’s very significant there have been calls over the years actually for

    Hisb toer because of its radical islamist uh beliefs it’s extremist beliefs uh to be prescribed to be outlawed and banned as a terrorist group essive home secretaries have resisted those calls however James cleverly uh new into the job has decided that this group should be banned uh and in

    Particular it’s because of the way in which members of that group behaved uh during these protests that have taken place uh since the terrible uh 7th of October attacks in Israel that led to more than 1,400 people being murdered by Hamas and we saw a number of protests

    That have taken place since then there was in particular protests that took place outside the Egyptian and the Turkish embassies in London in October of last year in which members of this group were filmed and recorded uh calling for Jihad calling for Muslim armies to attack Israel that seems to

    Have been uh enough for James cleverly now to decide that this group should be banned and there is an order that has just been laid made before the uh House of Commons in a statement which has just come out from James cleverly just now he said hisb terer is an anti-semitic

    Organization that actively promotes and encourages terrorism including praising and celebrating the appalling 7th of October attacks he goes on to say that prescribing this terrorist group will ensure that anyone who belongs to and invitees uh support for them will face the consequences it will curb hisb tier’s ability to operate as it

    Currently does so that’s the very latest word coming from Home Secretary James cleverly as he moves to Outlaw his boot terer Mark I’m just reading about the manifesto of hisb but terer they say they seek to reestablish the Islamic calipha caliphate as an Islamic superstate where the Muslim majority

    Countries are unified and eventually which expand globally to include non-muslim states such as Britain how are they allowed in the first place yeah I mean obviously listening to uh the manifesto of that party would be worrying uh for people in this country and other countries in the

    West but that in itself is not of course against the law it’s a political aim uh to have uh many people many countries around the world to convert to Islam and to have a caliphate that in itself although unpalatable for many people is not uh breaking the law what is breaking

    The law according to the authorities in this country and now the Home Secretary is for members of that group to stand up and to call for Muslim armies to attack Israel that clearly has crossed the line it’s been enough to uh empower the new Home Secretary to act and that is why we

    Will see this group now banned and it will make it very difficult just like we’ve had other uh radical groups like Alma huarun remember um that was led by anim chowri and others over the years prescribed as well makes it then clearly uh against the law for anybody to be

    Associated uh with this group so going forward it will be very difficult for his boot career to operate in any meaningful sense in the UK very interesting indeed thank you very much Mark White our home and security editor there about time about a lot of people would say the government looked at the

    Group in 2005 said whilst it was anti-semitic anti-western homophobic all the rest of it it wasn’t violent clearly it’s crossed the line this I don’t understand why would successive uh home secretaries you know decide actually not worth prescribing when it’s prescribed in many other countries including Islamic countries well we allow parties

    Like the British national party to stand who are clearly vile and disgraceful I suppose it’s about that that that line of violence rather than just hate we’re too soft in this country let us know what you think gbvs atgb news.com but coming up we’re joined by our panel it’s

    Rishy sunak tells GB news he will not let foreign courts stop him from getting Rwanda flights off the ground Robert jri doesn’t think that’s going to be the case but we shall see all of that of your headlines with Sfia thank you Emily it’s 133 I’m Sophia wler in the GB news room the Prime Minister says he’ll overrule European human rights judges if they try to stop the UK sending migrants to Rwanda that’s as dozens of conservative MPS call for the Rwanda Bill to be toughened in a bid

    To deter people from making the dangerous journey in small boats across the channel speaking exclusively to GB news fishy sunak insists tackling illegal immigration is the compassionate thing to do another tragic example of what this illegal is doing to innocent people and you know my you know your

    Heartbreaks when you hear these stories about people dying they’re being exploited by criminal gangs and that’s why we’ve got to resolve this issue there’s lots of reasons why and we should talk about them but one of them is that innocent people are being exploited by criminal gangs that’s not right there’s nothing compassionate

    About it and in fact the compassionate thing to do is to tackle a legal migration and that’s what our Rwanda scheme will do I’ve been prime minister for a year just over and in that time we’ve actually reduced the number of people coming here by over a third that

    Hasn’t happened before no one else has managed to achieve that that’s because we’ve done lots of good work the prime minister’s comments come after it was revealed that more than 200 migrants cross the English Channel in small boats at the weekend that’s despite the poor weather conditions five

    People died on the French side of the channel yesterday after getting into difficulties just off the coast near bin at least 19 people have been injured in a suspected stabbing and car ramming attack in near Tel Aviv images from the scene in the community of raana show several damaged Vehicles as Emergency

    Motorway east of the Dartford Crossing has become the UK’s biggest ever planning application running to get this more than 359,000 pages and it hasn’t been built uh if printed out and laid end to end the document would be five times as long as the road itself so campaigners

    Say it’s symbolic of what is wrong with this country’s planning system uh that’s exactly what you just said yeah in the break yeah well absolutely let’s get more on this now joining us to discuss it is the policy researcher at Britain remake Ben Hopkinson and Ben you’ve done this

    Research you found this staggering amount of paperwork I guess it’s not just all that paper that’s also a lot of money a lot of wasted time and still no Road yes exactly it’s um absolutely boggling how many pages have been uh created for just this road project um

    And that’s not cheap all of those pages cost lots of money already 267 million pounds has been spent just on the planning application itself and that’s just one part of the government telling another part of the government can I build this road um that 267 million pounds is more than Norway spent

    Actually building the world’s largest uh Road tunnel sorry Ben can I just get that straight we’ve spent more on the planning application for this road tunnel than the Norwegians did to build the longest road tunnel in the world to actually build and finish the thing yes yeah and to boot they also had

    Enough leftover to build the world’s deepest unders sea tunnel as well it’s just so clear that our planning system is holding us back from delivering the much needed infrastructure yeah that Britain really requires now I was just in Norway and perhaps there’s a bit of a a cultural difference there and more

    That’s just get on with it get on with it um but Ben now we don’t want a situation where anyone can build anything anywhere any time although Tom might like that um so what are we doing wrong how can this be smoothed out and made easier so that we don’t spend 260

    Million just applying to build a road well a lot of the reason why it’s been uh so delayed um it’s been 13 years since the lower temps Crossing was named a priority infrastructure project and still Spades aren’t in the ground um a lot of the reason why it’s been so

    Delayed is the requirements to do uh endless rounds of consultations uh and then work off the suggestions provided and then consult on them again and provide many many uh unnecessary documents to the planning inspectorate uh just for them to be asked to provide more of what they’ve already

    Covered is this is this the famous n counting that Boris Johnson once mentioned when he wanted to streamline planning before that all got kiboshed in Parliament is this sort of to some extent Environmental Group saying well there’s a rare species of bird here and there might be a bat living here so we

    Can’t possibly do anything until every every inch of the place has been surveyed yeah that’s that’s definitely a key component of this trying to Plate the groups who are just always going to be against a new road being built in in Britain and who will try and use every

    Uh possible way to try and stop it or slow down the construction all of which just adds more uncertainty and more expense as people are caught in traffic jarms dear oh dear we can’t get anything built no Spades in the ground thank you very much for your time Ben Hopkins

    Policy researcher of Britain remade I do like the way it was sort of uh so when printed the planning application weighs three adult male polar bears 1,620 kilograms do you know what this is slightly different but it relates let’s introduce our panel before I start wittering on about something else so

    Joining us now is former labor MP Simon danchuk and the journalist and broadcaster candies holsworth now Simon it is mindboggling as our guest said there just how long it takes for us to do basic things like building roads now this is different but perhaps related in

    A way I was driving pass the grenfell tower now the horrific fire that broke out on that Tower was in 2017 the tower is still there for everyone to see it’s covered in a a big heart and it’s taken millions of pounds consultations to decide what to do with

    That building and I’m looking at it and I’m thinking do people why does it take so long to decide things because I’m sure that building still being there with that horrific tragedy took place some people must want something to be done with this building and yet no

    Decisions and I think I think it’s relatively new I’m talking in terms of years rather than you know months uh but we we suddenly have got to a stage where inquiries take forever we’re looking at covid much longer than inquiries in any other country in relation to co you

    Mentioned gral this credit to Britain remade for conducting the research that they have to show that the the LA temps Crossing uh which is well known in infrastructure uh circles as a major project that needs doing but this just illustrates what problem we’ve got in the United Kingdom and and I make the

    Point that it’s a relatively new problem we used to be so good at infrastructure projects and look where we are now hs2 this project other projects just get stuck and we have to have and I can’t understand why a conservative government of all governments would not want to cut

    Back on the bureaucracy and the red tape and make these projects happen more quickly I just don’t get it it’s extraordinary Candace what do you make of this because another stat that really stuck out to me if all of this paperwork was stacked on top of each other it’d be

    Twice the height of the Angel of the North yes yes well I mean I don’t know if you read the um spectator writer Rory Sutherland he writes so well on how bureaucracy starts to strangle productive activity and you see this in so many organizations and we see this

    With building infrastructure I mean you mentioned hs2 one of the reasons that the cost Ran So wildly out of control was all these Consultants that they were hiring and and to give you an Insight I think you’re right and and Britain is po very poor at productivity and and this

    Is one of the reasons that we’re not a very productive country but to give you an Insight because hs2 because it’s a Rail Project it has to go through Parliament because we have such a convoluted process it has to go through a parliamentary process and little known

    Fact which might be denied by some of the whips in some of the uh parties in Parliament is that if you sit on these committees you are assured of an honor at the end of it that that is what said if you put the effort in because it’s

    Boring upon boring and hours upon hours and days upon days and years upon years sitting on these committees you are guaranteed an honor at the end of it if you make that commitment what sort of process is that it’s extraordinary I just to just to book end this hundreds

    Of millions of pounds spent on trying to get a Road without this road people trying to get from Essex to Kent have to go through London have to sit in hours of traffic the the the dampener that puts on our productivity on on business on on time of being able to actually do

    Things in this country is extraordinary but there’s other big stories to get to too um mainly the Prime Minister saying that he’s open to amendments on this crucial Rwanda legislation Candace it’s appearing before the House of Commons on Tuesday and Wednesday what’s going to happen oh I don’t know because I mean I

    Saw when you were talking earlier you were saying about managing the two caucuses of the conservative party how do you satisfy These two factions and in his interview he says he thinks they will be satisfied by this because he’s got all these um uh commitments in the

    Bill to say that if straussburg tries to challenge it it’s up to ministers but he doesn’t think straussburg is going to get involved so he is clearly trying to satisfy these various factions but you can see they’re gearing up for another fight again and I just wonder if they’re

    Thinking well we’re going to lose the next election anyway we don’t really care about looking United well yes the uh former immigration Minister who of course resigned over this bill Robert jenrich wrote a a very strong piece in the telegraph I think it was uh saying

    That this bill as it is will not end the mergo round of legal challenges that it will be still difficult to deport people to Rwanda or anywhere else Simon yeah well I I’m not qualifi legally qualified to determine whether the legislation will uh ensure uh deportation I support

    The policy because you have to break the people Smuggler business model uh and as you’ve shown in earlier Clips you know people are dying crossing the channel uh and that’s the that’s because of people Smuggler so we have to have something that does that labor has no plan at all

    In terms of this issue and I I was quite impressed by the prime minister’s interview there he talked a good game but he he’s got to show in the next couple of weeks that he’s going to get this through and then is going to start deporting people to Rwanda where I’ve

    Just literally come back from uh and and can safely say because I’ve been there many times it’s an exceptionally safe country one of the safest countries I’ve ever visited and it’s a point also that I’ve been wondering about you know say Rishi does manage to achieve what he

    Wants to achieve and he gets this bill through what will K starma do I mean if flights go in the air and they start getting people to Rwanda I’m just saying if everything goes the right way why would k stama then reverse that because because it’s successful absolutely

    Absolute Madness and yet has no alternative policy to tackle it K sta has had some extremely weak interviews recently in the past avoiding setting out any policy commitments really what he would say in response to that is that he would go after the criminal gangs rather than

    Focus on a on a deterrent oration strategy of course what the government would say to that is that’s what the home office and the um and various arms of the state have been doing um I I wonder though Simon having returned I believe just this very morning from

    Rwanda one of the arguments that the Prime Minister makes is if things go much further Rwanda itself is at risk of pulling out of the deal if it’s seen to be breaking international law that’s not something the Rwandan government would want to be involved with having just

    Been to the country is that the sense you get well they are a very conscientious government and and and uh country you know know so so on one level they want to do what’s right internationally they already take uh Asylum Seekers on behalf of the United

    Nations uh from Libya uh and and took some uh most recently uh which proves the point that uh we should be able to send uh Asylum Seekers illegal immigrants there because they already do it but they they can’t be pushed too far you know they have their uh they have

    Their agenda to follow as well so the prime minister is probably right you can only push them so far on these issues uh but I think the sticking block is in the courts and the uh European convention on human rights I think we have to get to a

    Stage where we’re actually pulling out of that I think that’s an ultimate a has to be an ultimate a not just for this for various issues there’s such a divide isn’t there Candace in the conservative party about that issue of the ECR yes yes the likes of Damen green considering

    That Beyond The Pale saying that would not be a conservative thing to do others adamant like soel bravman Robert jri to alesser ENT that that is the only way to actually be able to come up with a scheme that will work to stop the illegal immigration problem I know and

    How do you reconcile that it’s very difficult to get those two sides to come together and compromise I mean you see with the appointment of David Cameron AS foreign secretary he successfully navigated prisoners rights with the ECR so that was clearly Rishi sunak thinking okay well this is someone who’s dealt

    With it and knows how to deal with it and like he said in that interview he doesn’t think they’ll challenge it he’s sort of hoping that they will be satisfied so he’s hoping to skirt the issue entirely but I don’t know what they’re going to do with this being

    Sojor fundamentally it has to work otherwise all of that trust that’s being lost will certainly not be built back well of course the Prime Minister was only recently talking about how he’s managed some reform of these pajama injunctions these rule 39 orders there has been some International

    Collaboration to say hang on this went far too far so I wonder if he’s hoping that the echr has been defanged to some exent well maybe maybe we shall see we shall see um thank you very much former labor MP Simon danchuk always great to speak to you and journalist and

    Broadcaster Candice holsworth we’ll be returning to our panel uh later on in the next hour but we want to hear from you as well what did you make of what the Prime Minister had to say in his exclusive sit down interview with Christopher hope this very hour email in

    GB views atgb newws and we’ll be getting to some of those thoughts a little bit later in the show looks like things are heating up boxed boilers sponsors of weather on GB news Hello Alex berel here again with your latest GB News weather forecast the cold themes going to continue as we go

    Through much of this week and with that there is the risk of some heavy snow snow for some of us at the moment there is a cold Arctic air plunging down from the north across the UK as we are sandwiched in between high pressure to the west and low pressure towards the

    East on that Northerly wind we have already seen plenty of snow showers and they will continue overnight most likely across parts of Northern Scotland but also some Western areas and also Eastern Parts in areas exposed to that Northerly wind we have the risk of seeing some further winry showers further in Land

    Staying largely dry with clear skies and as a result we’re going to see temperatures dropping most places is falling a few degrees below freezing so a fairly widespread and for some of us harsh Frost first thing tomorrow morning otherwise and as we go through tomorrow watch out for a spell of more persistent

    Rain SLE and snow pushing in across parts of Northern Ireland Central Southern Scotland and into Northern England too could bring several centimeters of snow so some disruption is possible further north across Northern parts of Scotland more snow showers likely here meanwhile staying dry bright and often Sunny across the

    Rest of England and Wales but staying cold into Wednesday and we need to watch out for system towards the south of us it may avoid the UK but there’s a chance it may just Fringe Southern counties and if it does so that could bring some disruptive snow elsewhere still the

    Chance of some further snow showers for a time it’s likely to turn dry as we go towards the end of the week and temperatures will start to pick up just that little bit too bye-bye that warm feeling inside from boxed boilers sponsors of weather on GB news

    Migrants cross to the UK just this weekend new research by a think tank has shown that the public wildly underestimated how many migrants arrived in the UK last year by 10 times we’ll be speaking to The Man Behind the figures yes and child abuse failings dozens of

    Men still pose a potential risk to children in Rochdale warns a new report into the grooming gang Scandal setting out the multiple failures by the greater Manchester police and the local Authority have the right lessons been Learned this Think Tank polling that we mentioned there about how people are underestimating the level of immigration is quite interesting because it also shows that N9 in 10 constituencies want to cut immigration and there’s quite a lot of analysis kicking around that immigration is or could be the deciding

    Factor for conservative voters so rishy sunak he needs to prove he can actually cut it and that he cares about it he says he cares about it he says he wants to lower it but can he well there are all of these new measures coming in from

    This year it’s the ban on students bringing in dependence unless they’re PhD students which seems like an eminently sensible way to close what was frankly an abused loophole in the system there’s also the new higher threshold for earnings that’s coming in this year all of this together might mean that the

    Numbers that come out in the summer could be lower perhaps substantially lower than those next year would that filter through because one of the things about this polling is that people generally underestimate or people the numbers that we talk about every day the numbers that people listening to shows

    Like this will know well most people aren’t plugged into the news all the time most the question is how much will it flow through right yeah but if we’re told the real number how Gob smacked will people be up and down the country and if they want it cut from 10 times

    Smaller number down than of course from the 760 odd uh net figure and that’s the net figure they’re going to want that absolutely slash down so there you go let us know what you think could also could also mean that people aren’t very good at estimating what sort of numbers

    Mean what well yes it could mean that too let us know what you think are you surprised by that that people have underestimated the level of migration perhaps they couldn’t believe that it would be in the hundreds of thousands still let us know gbvs Gbs.edu I’m Sophia wler in the GB Newsroom the Prime Minister says he’ll overall European human rights judges if they try to stop the UK sending migrants to Rwanda that a dozens of conservative MPS call for the Rwanda Bill to be toughened in a bid to deter people from making the

    Dangerous journey in small boats across the channel speaking exclusively to GB news rishy sunak insists tackling illegal migration is the compassionate thing to do your heartbreaks when you hear these stories about people dying they’re being exploited by criminal gangs and that’s why we’ve got to resolve this issue there’s lots of

    Reasons why and we should talk about them but one of them is that innocent people are being exploited by criminal gangs that’s not right there’s nothing compassionate about it and in fact the compassionate thing to do is to tackle illegal migration and that’s what our Rwanda scheme will do I’ve been prime

    Minister for a year just over and in that time we’ve actually reduced the number of people coming here by over a third that hasn’t happened before no one else has managed to achieve that the prime minister’s comments come after it was revealed that more than 200 migrants crossed the English Channel in

    Small boats at the weekend that’s despite the poor weather conditions five people died on the French side of the channel yesterday after getting into difficulties just off the coast near bin two Palestinians have carried out coordinated car ramming in central Israel killing a woman and injuring 12

    Others images from the scene of one of the attacks in ranana near Tel Aviv show several damaged Vehicles as Emergency Services tend to multiple injuries police described the incident as a terrorist attack and said two two suspects are under arrest there’s not yet been any claim of responsibility the labor leader says

    That any future interventions in the Red Sea should be discussed in Parliament the government insists its decision not to consult MPS regarding British strikes on Hy Rebels was important for reasons of operational security following a series of attacks on commercial ships s Arma says he understands the urgency surrounding security situations in the

    Region the vast majority of people across the country recognize that when urgent operational uh issues arise as they did in this case uh then it’s not possible to have a vote in Parliament beforehand particularly if it’s a joint operation I think it’s fundamentally different if there’s a sustained

    Campaign with the deployment of troops and in those circumstances I do think it’s important that the prime minister of the day uh comes to Parliament with a viable case setting out the legal basis for the action the UK will send 20,000 troops across Europe in what’s been called a vital

    Reassurance against the Putin Menace it’ll include deployments from the Army the Navy and the RAF making it the largest NATO exercise since the Cold War the drill involves 31 nations with the defense secretary saying troops will be prepared for invasion of a NATO member state by any

    Aggressor girls were left at the mercy of pedophile grooming gangs due to failings by senior police and Council leaders that’s according to a comprehensive new report covering nearly 10 years of failed investigations by greater Manchester police it highlights years of widespread organized sexual abuse of children in the Rochdale area

    Despite what it described as compelling evidence reported to authorities as early as 2004 greater Manchester police chief Constable Steven Watson says the report paints a damning picture the findings evidenced within it are shocking Stark and shameful it speaks to the systemic failure of various agencies to pull

    Together and do the obvious and the right thing and above all it outlines in painful detail all of those missed opportunities where decisive action could and should have been taken commuters are in for fresh series of delays as the assf union announces more strike action drivers will take

    Part in a rolling program of one day walkouts from the end of next month including a ban on overtime the union says it’s aiming to put pressure on what it describes as a toned deaf Tory government calling for drivers to get their first pay rise in 5

    Years and we’re in for some chilly days ahead as cold air blowing in from the Arctic bring snow and ice to parts of the country National highways has issued a severe weather alert for snow affecting the Northwest with people advised to stick to the main roads the Met Office warns temperatures will be

    Around 6° or lower lower than usual for this time of year a snow and ice warning is also in place tomorrow across Northern irand Scotland and East Anglia this is GB news across the UK on TV in your car on your digital Radio and on your smart speaker by saying play GB

    News now it’s back to Tom and Emily well Rishi sunak he faces rebellions on multiple fronts this week that’s as crucial parliamentary debates take place on the Rwanda bill now Small Boat Crossings have resumed after a spell of bad weather and tragically over the weekend five migrants died in the English Channel it comes as the Prime

    Minister visits Lee on SE in Essex today earlier he sat down with our very own political editor Christopher hope and said he would overrule European judges if they were to block r rer flights well Christopher hope joins us now to discuss what he heard from the Prime Minister

    Now it’s very interesting it’s quite hard for people to know what to believe here because you have Rishi sunak saying that the bill will work deportations will go ahead and that he will if needed overall European courts however you have the likes of Robert jri the former immigration Minister an Suella bravman

    Raising concerns that actually this bill won’t stop the merry goor round as they call it of legal challenges so what’s the truth here Christopher well Emily that’s exactly right the truth is unknowable as it always is in politics and in life as you look forward into the future

    But hopes and is thinks he can get it through he thinks he’s gone as far as he can with Rwanda the African country where these illegally arrived migrants will be deported to and also with the left of his party but of course those on the right 60 Tory MPS have B backing

    Amendments to make it firmer and harder including Robert jenrich and swell braveman Miss bravman of course spoke to us on Friday about her concerns she’s been very clear that she thinks that this will not not result in in that many if at all U migrants taking off now the

    PM thinks it can all work and the first flights take off well we’ll wait and see we started with the interview here with the PM in Leon C early today asking him about the five deaths in the channel over the weekend tragic example of what this illegal trade is doing to innocent

    People and you know my you know your heartbreaks when you hear these stories about people dying they’re being exploited by criminal gangs and that’s why we’ve got to resolve this issue there’s lots of reasons why and we should talk about them but one of them is that innocent people are being

    Exploited by criminal gangs that’s not right there’s nothing compassionate about it and in fact the compassionate thing to do is to tackle illegal migrant ation and that’s what our Rwanda scheme will do I’ve been prime minister for a year just over and in that time we’ve actually reduced the number of people

    Coming here by over a third that hasn’t happened before no one else has managed to achieve that that’s because we’ve done lots of good work it’s really interesting Chris that the Prime Minister seemed open to some amendments but he attached conditions to those amendments when the Rwanda bill

    Goes to a committee of the Full House of Commons to tomorrow and on Wednesday he said they need to be within international law and keeping the rwandans on side how open did you sense he genuinely was to some of these amendments well that’s right he feels

    He’s gone as far as he can he’s talked before hasn’t he about collapsing the deal with the wander if it goes any further in terms of trying of Human Rights says in Strasburg um friends of friends of um Robert genrich have been saying to me today that his own attorney general has said

    The opposite and clearly there could be a battle being being set here um Chris really sorry but your line is uh breaking up you’ve actually Frozen on our screen classic rural Broadband in the United Kingdom you can’t get anything it’s no no 5 in Leon C and um and probably not enough

    Lines to get uh to get fiber optic brought sorry about that yeah well let’s cross now to grae Stringer the labor MP for Blackley and Bron and um gram it it is a very very big week in Parliament this week particularly with regard to that Committee of the whole house on

    Tuesday and Wednesday what’s your sense talking to colleagues on your side of the house talking to colleagues on the government benches as well just how much of a showdown will this bill present well it’s it’s very different talking to my colleagues and talking to conservatives my my colleagues are absolutely

    Convinced uh this is an ineffective bill that won’t do anything to Take Back Control of our borders and take control of immigration talking to conservatives on the right of the conservative party uh they are worried that the bill uh is again is ineffective uh and that the center of

    Their party uh will uh not compromise with them and they wor they’re worried that the conservative party will split aunder uh on this uh issue that they they think that if the prime minister concedes to uh their demands that the bill is toughened up uh that uh the

    Center of the party will vote with with my party the Labour party and bring the bill down and could destroy the conservative party and certainly not only could it bring the bill down but potentially it could bring the government down now usually when the whips know that the rebellions on and

    The government knows there are problems it gets sorted before then uh whether it will or not I I don’t know but there is certainly Jeopardy in the air for the government what’s rating um for a lot of our viewers and listeners is that the labor party will stand against the Rwanda Bill

    They’ll vote against it but yet we don’t hear a solid plan coming from the labor party an alternative we hear about smashing the criminal gangs that’s what K dama says over and over again but the conservatives would say that they’re already trying to do that and they’re already trying to cooperate with the

    French more I I think uh the labor party policy needs uh toughening up uh certainly we we can’t control Albanian gangs in different in our major cities in London in our major cities uh in this country how we can deal with International gangs some of which are based in uh countries

    A long way away or some based in in France I would need uh IET uh Shadow Home Secretary and Kia to explain to me how we can be more effective uh with these International gangs than we are with the gangs that are uh dealing drugs

    In many of our cities I think the policy makes sense on paper uh but pragmatically we haven’t uh we haven’t done very well uh against gangs in in in this country over the last 20 years so gram how much further would you like you to see your party go what What

    Specifically would you like to see perhaps in the labor Manifesto A little bit later this year a competitor scheme to Rwanda perhaps well I I I think the the the the theory behind the Rwanda scheme is if you threaten to send uh people to Rwanda they won’t try to uh

    Cross the channel I think that’s always been a nonsense if people are willing to risk uh their lives at the present time uh crossing the channel are they likely to stop because of the threat of a a plane flight to Rwanda but gra hang on

    Just for one second uh just just look at what happened to to Albanian migrants they were told that if they were to come across on a small boat we had a returns agreement they would be sent back to alonia we started to send but we only

    Sent back a few thousand and then what happened they stopped coming because they knew if they got to the UK they would be deported Now isn’t the same logic going to work with other nationalities if we have a third country a safe Third Country to send these people

    To I think the issue there was that was with the support of the Albanian government and these were Albanian citizens uh who were coming across so I I mean you make a good point but I don’t think it’s an over helming Point uh when you’re talking about people who are

    Coming from much further a field uh than Albania they’re they’re not in Europe and they’re wanting to come to this country and their own governments aren’t party uh to this so I don’t think uh that is the case I mean there there are a whole variety of people coming across

    The channel on uh boats the the prime minister in the piece you did before was talking about them as though they were all uh genuine Asylum Seekers and many of will have valid cases uh to get Refugee status is probably the best way to to put it but some of them themselves

    Are criminals I’ve got an area uh in my constituency where the police have been trying to crack down on the sale of fact simile goods and other things it’s the area is being run by gangs and the police are doing a a good job but they

    Say that from time to time uh they have uh cleared out warehouses full of these uh counterfeit goods and within days people who’ve come over the channel on the boats are in those warehouses trying to distribute them again so it to to assume that there is one answer to to

    The boats sending them to Rwanda is wrong I think we have to take control of our borders and we have to make the decisions ourselves however we do it I think the interference from uh foreign courts has has been a real problem and how that is done uh is a question the

    Labor party has to answer and I agree with the point that was made before that we have to answer that question yes absolutely because otherwise a vote for labor is essentially a vote for going back to the drawing board when it comes to this issue we need to have a a strong

    Plan for people to actually assess so they know what they’re voting for but thank you very much Gr just quickly I was just going to say in one sense going back to the drawing board is better uh than trying to pursue a scheme that is almost bound to fail well there

    We are Graham Stringer thank you very much for talking us through those big two days coming up in Parliament gram Stringer there of course the labor Member of Parliament yes indeed Now new research by the think tank onward has shown that the public wildly underestimated just how many migrants

    Arrived in the UK last year by 10 times so shall we speak to onward Project Director Gavin rice Gavin thank you very much very interesting research I must admit I’ve only looked at the top lines I’ve seen this that the general public underestimate the number of migrants

    Last year by a factor of 10 which is on its own is quite remarkable then you’ve also coupled this with polling that shows nine in 10 constituencies want immigration to be cut is the general gist here that uh immigrant is going to be an absolutely huge issue when it comes to the

    Election well good afternoon to both of you thanks for having me on I I think it is going to be a very big issue at the next election I think there’s no denying that the economy and the cost of living will remain um the most prominent and

    The most Salient issue but that doesn’t mean that it is um the only one uh what the poll that onward has published today reveals is that actually a very large majority of Voters 76% believe that legal immigration so this is legal economic migration rather than the illegal kind uh should be

    Reduced and as you say that’s a a majority we also found in nine out of 10 parliamentary constituencies so that’s a very very very clear margin we also found that there was that was the majority view amongst different age groups as well um and across historic voting patterns as well so conservative

    Voters and labor voters so there’s a very clear gap between what current migration policy under the current rules is delivering and what voters are telling us that they would actually like to see Gavin I’m really interested in this idea that people underestimate the amount of migration coming to the UK is

    That because potentially a lot of migration goes to big cities and so a lot of people haven’t really felt a huge influx uh in many parts of the country it’s very concentrated perhaps in some in some areas or frankly is it just that asking this question isn’t particularly

    Useful because people are very very bad at judging big numbers when you talk about hundreds of thousands millions or billions or trillions it all sounds the same well I think it’s right that sometimes the scale of these very large numbers can be hard to get our heads

    Around I think what we wanted to do was get a sense of what people’s actual perception of the current status quo is there are a lot of polls that show consistently that people want immigration to uh to go down uh um there might be a small minority who are okay

    With it or even think that it should go up that’s not a very common view but um we were Keen to dig into what people actually believe it to be and what we found is that the average response was 70,000 so that that’s 10 times less than

    What it actually is we had net migration last year of around 675,000 and but the interesting thing is that even though people think it’s so much lower than it actually is they still think that it’s too high and think that it should be somewhat less than

    Than it currently is so there really is a big gap here between current policy and where the electorate is absolutely and wishi sunak might want us to focus on illegal migration on his stopping the boats pledge but it is legal migration uh that people are extremely concerned

    About the high levels thank you very much Gavin uh thank you sorry short but sweet but great to get you on onward project project director there well coming up we’ll be joined by our security editor as reports come in that a commercial vessel has been hit by a missile

    Want to hear from you GB news Britain’s News Channel good afternoon Britain it’s 26 minutes past 2 and we’re joined Now by our security editor as reports come in that a commercial vessel has has been a vessel has been uh hit by a missile in the Gulf of Aiden uh Mark white white

    Joins us now Mark uh what are the details that we’ve heard well busy old news day today I have to say um this latest news uh coming through from the area just south of Yemen uh suggesting that a missile fired from Yemen has struck as you see that commercial ship

    Now this has come from the UK maritime operations uh trade operations center uh which is a royal naval Reserve Center that was set up really to give security advice to commercial shipping out in that part of the world given all the threats that they face uh they are

    Monitoring activities they say that a vessel was struck from above by a missile uh that that vessel has sustained damage to the port side obviously we don’t know at this stage How uh much damage that ship has uh sustained and whether uh it may be in some real difficulties in terms of the

    Damage it’s sustained but nonetheless being struck by a missile clearly a serious escalation uh we’re also getting reports uh through that it may have been a us-owned bulk carrier this is coming from Ambry uh who’s a maritime uh trade operations uh Center as well and reporting that a US flagged bulk carrier

    Has been struck so we are assuming that that is the same incident but of course this is coming after we have had These Warnings uh just again today from the Prime Minister Rishi sunak from the defense secretary Grant shaps from their counterparts in the US that although

    They do not want to strike Yemen again that the attacks that were launched by the US and the UK were limited and proportionate if the yemenis continue and I say the yemenis I mean the hooti rebels of course uh if the hooti rebels within Yemen continue and persist with

    Their attacks on commercial shipping and Naval vessels then further strikes May well be inevitable yes so it’s likely that this will prompt a military response well this specific incident might or might not we don’t we don’t know at this stage but it does come after just yesterday uh there are

    Reports that um the USS laboon which is a destroyer out there as part of the US Naval task force was targeted by a missile it was taken out by that ship’s uh defense systems also just on Friday another vessel an oil tanker uh was uh came under Fire from a missile that was

    Fired again just south of a in the Gulf of Eden which is the uh the the area of sea that leads up to the Red Sea itself um that uh oil tanker luckily uh the missile missed it landed about 4 to 500 M uh away from that particular

    Tanker but this one this commercial ship uh a freight carrier we believe was struck damaged on the port side and we await more details well Mark White thank you so much for bringing us those details as we get them of course we’re expecting a statement from the prime

    Minister in just under an hour now in the House of Commons that was going to refer to last week’s strikes on the hotti rebels I would now be shocked if it didn’t also talk about this latest incident and perhaps further action that the RAF might get involved in absolutely

    And we’ve be told it’s going to be quite a detailed statement of course with this most recent update now it may well be a long statement perhaps could have been hoping that the whole conflict there would have been caramelized would have been frozen but no it seems to be

    Hotting up if anything well yes well coming up a red card for liner Gary liner comes as the presenter retweets calls for Israel to be banned from football but first the headlines Mr Fair thanks Emily it’s 2:32 I’m Sophia wler in the GB Newsroom we start with some breaking news the UK’s Maritime organization is warning vessels to sail with caution after reports of another attack on a ship southeast of Yemen’s port of Aiden this latest report is the second incident

    Since the US and UK joint strikes on hthy Rebels it’s understood this latest vessel is US owned in the UK the Prime Minister says Britain needs to send a strong signal that attacks in the Red Sea won’t be tolerated prime minister says he’ll overrule European human rights judges if

    They try to stop the UK sending migrants to Rwanda that’s as dozens of conservative MPS call for the Rwanda Bill to be toughened in a bid to deter people from making the dangerous journey in small boats across the channel speaking exclusively to GB news rishy sunak insists tackling illegal migration

    Is the compassionate thing to do your heartbreaks when you hear these stories about people dying they’re being exploited by criminal gangs and that’s why we’ve got to resolve this issue there’s lots of reasons why and we should talk about them but one of them is that innocent people are being

    Exploited by criminal gangs that’s not right there’s nothing compassionate about it and in fact the compassionate thing to do is to tackle illegal migration and that’s what our Rwanda scheme will do I’ve been prime minister for a year just over and in that time we’ve actually reduced the number of

    People coming here by over a third that hasn’t happened before no one else has managed to achieve that the prime minister’s comments come after it was revealed that more than 250 migrants crossed the English Channel in small boats at the weekend that’s despite the poor weather conditions five people died

    On the French side of the channel yesterday after getting into difficulties just off the coast near bin two Palestinians have carried out coordinated car ramming in central Israel killing a woman and injuring 12 others images from the scene of one of the attacks in ranana near Tel Aviv shows several damaged Vehicles as

    Actually know what they’re talking about this Saturday night Showdown is your front row ticket to the clown show every Saturday only on GB news the people’s Channel Britain’s news Channel welcome back it is 2:37 in the afternoon and we’ve been asking for your views all show and finally we’re getting to some of them Glenda’s written in given starmer’s track record on rotheram gangs and the sub postmasters why would anyone trust him on immigration and borders philli says rishy said he will

    Overall the European courts if they block the Rwanda Bill why then hasn’t he overruled them before I think that’s a rather good point although he would probably say go on that there has been reform to these pajama injunction orders that the ECR uh delivers since if we

    Remember that flight was ready to go off to Rwanda so many months ago now those last minute orders stopped them but the way in which the ECR does those orders has now changed perhaps that would be his answer well we shall see mik Mike has written in to say the problem is

    That Britain is no longer being run by the government it’s actually being run by a bunch of HR lawyers judges and the courts yes it is quite sometimes seems impossible to uh even Deport foreign criminals which is bizarre because in our system Parliament is famously Sovereign if Parliament wants to ignore

    Something judges say they can pass a law it’s quite interesting whether it is a problem with the law or a problem with the Judiciary when it comes to our lack of deputations of criminals I want to know um Jeremy says funny how sunak is trying to cut immigration now and trying

    To cut taxes now could it be that there is a general election soon tor’s just suddenly react to disasters when it hits the UK yes it does always seem a little reactive rather than proactive well let’s get more on all these stories now joining us is the former labor MP Simon

    Danuk and the journalist and broadcaster kendice holsworth uh Simon uh we’re going to first zero in on uh on that big issue that people have been writing into us about on on whether or not these planes will actually fly on whether or not this bill will actually work well I

    Think he has to make it work it’s his it’s his only chance isn’t it if he’s serious about winning the next general election if he doesn’t get flights going to Rwanda with uh illegal immigrants on them then there’s going to be a major problem we’ve seen the opinion polling

    For the conservatives he has to make this work I think it’s the only show in town and I listened to the interview that you did with grahe Stringer uh and I’m a great admirer of gr Stringer I think he’s a a great Member of Parliament uh he says it won’t work

    But what I would say to parliamentarians is try it we’ve never tried this the nearest we’ve come as you pointed out is in relation to Albania where we’ve returned people to the point where albanians no longer come uh across the channel to Britain and that seems to

    Have worked let’s try this I say to Stormer as well let’s try this see if it is a a deterrent and then we will know candise the issue of toughening up this bill which some conservative MPS are calling for is quite an interesting one because on the one hand people are very

    Concerned about individual Asylum Seekers migrants losing their individual right to appeal their deportation they claim that this is unconservative that it would undermine our standing in the world on the global stage how do you feel about that well look I mean those sorts of things are very important to me

    But I think that what happens what undermines the credibility of the system is that you know when like you say governments lose the power to make laws that are effective because they’re constantly undermined by loopholes and people and lawyers who understand how to challenge the system and it gets to a

    Point where you know you’ve got someone who’s committed multiple crimes and there was one case of someone who he was provided with um you know depression for medication for his depression because he wouldn’t be able to get it if he went back to his his home country and a lot

    Of people think well is that really very valid and I don’t think it is I mean when you’re talking about like habius Corpus for instance I mean I think that you know that has a very proud tradition but I think when it gets to things where it seems almost trivial and they just

    You can tell they’re just trying to avoid deportation then I have an issue with it it’s a fine line I mean we were reporting on I think we were together for this uh the Isis fanatic yes who won his appeal the judges ruled in his favor despite the fact that he’d been

    Traveling between the UK and his home country uh frequently also an Albanian Crime Boss smuggling huge sums of money also allowed to stay in this country I suppose one of the problems here Simon is that after the second world war we signed up to a lot of international uh

    Agreements that were very good-hearted but we’re expecting a few thousand of people to to to use them each year y those agreements if we take them as they’re written uh in the liberal interpretation that courts do could mean that hundreds of millions of people have

    A right to move to the UK If anyone comes from a country that has a despotic government under these agreements they could say well I’m going to go to the UK and you’ll have to accept me as a refugee um now obviously hundreds of millions of people wouldn’t choose to do

    That but the fact that they could perhaps means this system needs reform oh there’s no doubt that we need reform these International conventions uh were fit for purpose then but they’re they’re very much outdated now and it’s not just about people coming to Britain who uh

    Might have a you know a legitimate care to come here because they’re in a country that where where there is significant problems it’s people coming here and then making up excuses and using our legal system and for the British taxpayer paying uh to support their legal case for them to be able to

    Stay here billion Chinese people live under a form of despotic authoritarian government I think if if someone was to come from China and claim I’m being mistreated by my government I don’t believe in communism under these rules we’d probably have to say yes I mean maybe maybe hundreds of millions of

    People was underplaying it potentially billions of people have the right to come to the UK it’s so much easier to move around the world now than it was all those years ago when the conven conventions were written and signed up to it’s much easier to move around the

    World so Candice why are people so squeamish about updating these conventions that were that were made in a in a completely different time yes yes I would like people have such a wall don’t they a mental block I know I know well it’s so true I mean things like the

    UN Refugee convention I mean they were made in a very specific set of circumstances where you had genuine refugees who were being returned to countries where they were being murdered absolutely but like you say it’s now being stretched beyond that definition a refugee can be all kinds of things now

    Not someone who’s facing certain death I think the squeamishness comes from it’s it’s very ideological I think we live in very partisan times I don’t think people are willing to sort of look at these things pragmatically it’s just different political fact opposing each other put the other point forward there will be

    Lots of people who say look at the numbers of refugees the UK takes in each year it’s a lot less than France it’s a lot less than Germany shouldn’t we be stepping up and doing more that would be what they would say I think people you

    Know I think people when they feel they have control over the situation so I mean you look at um people from Hong Kong for instance people are very very welcoming because they were like you know what we can understand the situation they’re in they must come over

    They were like that with a lot of the Ukrainian refugees I think it’s when people feel they have no control over the situation you know almost when it’s being led by you know uh lawyers and judges and the overruling democracy and the sovereignty of parliament that’s

    When people have the issue and let’s be blond also France and Germany are doing everything they can to try and limit um the numbers too at least they’re trying to yeah absolutely but it is about fairness you know it’s not for illegal people Smugglers to determine who can

    Come into the United Kingdom and I was the MP for Rochdale uh we took a disproportionately high number of Asylum Seekers into Rochdale uh the second highest town and city in the UK to take to take Asylum Seekers wow and I so in my constituency surgery I met lots of

    People who would claim to be uh seeking Asylum the reality is Big proportions are economic migrants well Simon that’s a great segue to another story that we want to discuss and this is the Rochdale grooming gang Scandal this new report has come out with many shocking findings

    Some of which we knew some more additional details that are truly um shocking horrific horrifying actually um what do you make of of of this review the greater Manchester police accused of of of massive failings yeah absolutely uh and and just for your viewers and listeners uh perspective on this I was

    The MP from 2010 uh to 2017 and the story of The Grooming Scandal broke in 2012 so I’ve been there two just two years and it was a new new to me you know as the story broke at that time uh but I was very clear in calling this out

    As being an issue that was related to ethnicity to religion uh the perpetrators of these awful crimes and I met many of the victims uh of these crimes I met G spent a lot of time with her and her family uh examining this issue I met Sara roboam who was The

    Whistleblower in this and is mentioned extensively in the report and I made sure that she could come before Parliament before the home Affairs select committee and give uh uh U evidence around this issue so I did a lot of work around it but I was clear and saying that ethnicity and religion

    Was a key factor in this issue and I was told by some senior labor figures not to mention that well that’s what I was going to ask what was the response to raising the issue of of of these grooming gangs being predominantly don’t mention their ethnicity don’t mentioned

    That the Pakistani will lose votes on it it’s un helpful in terms of multiculturalism and sir Peter F here who was the uh Chief Constable of Greater Manchester police at the time as soon as the grooming Scandal broke in 2012 he came to Rochdale and the one of

    The first things he said at a public meeting is I’ve come here to celebrate multiculturalism he couldn’t have been more insensitive because it was multiculturalism that had got us into this situation where poor white working class girls were being abused by predominantly Pakistani taxi drivers in an around rck it’s an appalling

    Situation and Candace isn’t one of the biggest issues here that there were lots of white workingclass girls and their families who were just not believed yes and then the people that were believed or tiptoed around were another group in society and it’s almost how institutions respond to these different groups in

    Different ways yes yes and it wasn’t just in Rochdale I mean you saw it in various other places it was the same issues coming up coming up again the the young girls they were not taken seriously they were discredited in many ways they were treated as criminals there was absolutely zero understanding

    Of of the coercive power that the grooming gangs had over these young women many of them on the at risk register it was a total failure from top to bottom institutional failure like you say it seems like there was a lot of politics involved and and this report um

    Claims that there could potentially be dozens of men still out there yeah uh not being apprehended continued risk for children in the area yeah and and it plays back to this point about deportation I campaigned after 2012 continually to try and get those who were found guilty of having committed

    Some of these crimes to be deported back to Pakistan uh because they had dual nationality uh and the difficulty in making that happen almost impossible and yet you have the British taxpayer uh paying for their legal case they’re in British prisons uh uh fighting to keep them in Britain instead of returning

    Them to Pakistan almost impossible to get them deported uh absolutely outrageous but you right as well I mean politics playing a big part in this the similar grooming scandal in rotheram and Professor Jay who who carried out a review there quite clearly said that labor politicians locally played a

    Significant part in covering up this abuse over a number of years do you think candise that we will the the system will have leared the right lessons well I hope so learned any lessons I hope so because if it doesn’t it’s going to be repeated again and

    Again and again but I think that there’s so much willful blindness around this issue you know people it’s very hard to talk properly about this and to have straight talking about it especially when the people who are involved I mean they want to admit any culpability so I

    Mean they really want to avoid that and they’ll be trying to put it on to other people so I don’t know I mean I think you know unless you’re willing to talk very openly about this the lessons will not be learned well there is so much

    More we could say on this topic but we do have time for just one more story today which involves a certain Gary liner now Gary liner has found himself in a bit of hot water after retweeting a tweet calling on all regional and International Sports bodies to take an

    Urgent stance on Israel’s what they say violations of human rights uh basically calling for Israel to be suspended from sporting bodies over its attacks on herass or what they describe as attacks on Palestinian life um this is a fairly political thing for the BBC’s number one sports broadcaster

    To be getting involved with Simon yeah absolutely I don’t know why the BBC put up with him to be quite honest I think it brings the whole uh institution into disrepute I I think it’s unbelievable that they haven’t held him to account on this and previous issues that he’s got

    Involved in he he gets a considerable amount of money from license fee payers who can’t avoid paying this by the way they have to P to be able to watch TV and uh and I think it’s about time action was taken also that ask calling to ban Israel from International football

    Matches I mean what about other countries why Israel yeah well the other point will be made is that it’s not that long ago he was paid a considerable amount of money to go to Qatar a regime that isn’t the you know the most Progressive country in the world uh and

    And the contrast between that and where he hasn’t called for people not to be able to play football and yet the contrast between this and that yes exactly Candace is he just trying to be fired at this point he’s got a lucrative podcast not affiliated to the BBC

    Frankly he’s got a very high spell at the BBC but he might be thinking maybe he can make more money elsewhere now well he’s got that option I mean I don’t know if he’s purposefully trying to do it although some people have said maybe he is maybe he knows he can just act

    With impunity that no one’s going to do anything he just enjoys having this controversial opinion although when you go through his Twitter feed it’s very jarring because there’ll be like football football football and then some radical tweet about Israel and football football football there’s no balance

    There at all fine he’s allowed to have his opinion but like you say plenty of people resent having to pay the license fee for that and is isn’t The crucial thing here he was almost given a free pass by the BBC saying you’re a sports BR broadcas that’s fine you can app

    About the level of tax or immigration or whatever because that’s not your beat this is a sporting beat this is a tweet about Sport and a political tweet about sports does that mean we have to take it slightly differently from these tweets about Liz truss or whatever it is Simon

    I’m not sure I think the BBC just have to get rid of him I think that’s the solution I think that’s the honest solution he clearly loves the sort of I don’t know he’s leaning into it yeah he obviously loves it in some way you can imagine him sort of gleefully rubbing

    His hands clicking the Tweet button and just waiting the explosions very bizarre well that’s it for the show today thank you very much indeed Simon danchuk and of course Candace holworth uh we’re going to be back tomorrow at 12:00 and tomorrow will be a big big day of course

    Of Rwanda debates don’t go anywhere for that but also up next it’s Martin Dorney and he’ll be covering something very important in the House of Commons in around half an hour’s time the Prime Minister will stand up and at the dispatch box and deliver his assessment on those British strikes joint operation

    With America but British strikes on Yemen what more might be said that’s all coming up in the next half an hour or so on GB news don’t go anywhere a brighter Outlook with box solar sponsors of weather on GB news Hello Alex berel here again with your latest GB News weather forecast the

    Cold themes going to continue as we go through much of this week and with that there is the risk of some heavy snow for some of us at the moment there is a cold Arctic air plunging down from the north across the UK as we are sandwiched in

    Between high pressure to the west and low pressure towards the east on that Northerly wind we have already seen plenty of snow showers and they will continue overnight most likely across parts of Northern Scotland but also some Western areas and also Eastern Parts in it areas exposed to that Northerly wind

    We have the risk of seeing some further wintry showers further in Land staying largely dry with clear skies and as a result we’re going to see temperatures dropping most places falling a few degrees below freezing so a fairly widespread and for some of us harsh Frost first thing tomorrow morning

    Otherwise and as we go through tomorrow watch out for a spell of more persistent rain sleet and snow pushing in across parts of Northern Ireland Central Southern Scotland and into Northern England too could bring several centimeters of snow so some disruption is possible further north across Northern parts of Scotland more snow

    Showers likely here meanwhile staying dry bright and often Sunny across the rest of England and Wales but staying cold into Wednesday and we need to watch out for a system towards the south of us it may avoid the UK but there’s a chance it may just Fringe Southern counties and

    If it does so that could bring some disruptive snow elsewhere still the chance of some further snow showers for a time it’s likely to turn dry as we go towards the end of the week and temperatures will start to pick up just that little bit too bye-bye looks like things are heating up

    Bo spoilers sponsors of weather on GB News join us every night on GB news at 11:00 p.m. for Headliners which is three top comedians going through
