Thats right. We have got an anti woke pub fast. Now, i would have that Animal Rights have thought that Animal Rights groups rather a on at groups had rather a lot on at the i mean, why dont the moment. I mean, why dont they start campaigning about halal meat, for example, other forms of you know, they do forms of meat . You know, they do quite bit about horse racing quite a bit about horse racing and of other activities, and some of other activities, but the name of a pub but changing the name of a pub in wouldnt have in stoke, i wouldnt have thought would have been top of their list of priorities. But ive been wrong before and im wrong again. Apparently and look, to a little look, i had to watch a little video so long ago, video for you. Not so long ago, and im going to make you watch it as well. Its a little tease. It involves us. Matt hancock on the there at and well, the beach there at and well, find out exactly why he is being hammered for trying to impersonate someone from a rather famous film that is out there at the moment. I personally think that that man needs an intervention. Patrick needs an intervention. Patrick christys on. Gb news get the christys on. Gb news get the emails coming in gb views gb news dot com. Like i said, a senior government source has been speaking to mark white, who i will go to at the top of this show about what the Ascension Island quotes and quotes plan as a centre. But i want a Detention Centre. But i want to know from you and that email address screens right address on your screens right there, choice , would you there, given a choice, would you process Illegal Migrants on Ascension Island . But right now its your headlines. Jase patrick. 3 02. Im ray addison in the newsroom. Our top story, buses have been arriving at the bibby stockholm to deliver migrants to their new accommodation. Now, its not yet accommodation. Now, its not yet known exactly how many Asylum Seekers are arriving today. Refugee charity care for calais saying that several migrants who were given notice to relocate to the barge did not actually board after lawyers had their transfers cancelled. And of transfers cancelled. And of course, health and safety concerns have caused further delays with the Firefighters Union warning that the barge is a potential death trap. A potential death trap. Safeguarding minister sarah dines telling us earlier that it is justified to use the barge. Despite those concerns means anything like this, where a large groups of migrants are congregated is never popular , congregated is never popular, which is why we have to stop the crisis in the channel. But we cant do that by having the pull factors of having the pull factors of having Wonderful Hotels, being used for Illegal Migrants whove travelled through several safe countries to get here. Lets not forget that. Forget that. Mark colvin well, whats labours view . Shadow International Secretary International Trade secretary Nick Thomas Simmons told us that they stop small boats they would stop the small boats from arriving all. From arriving at all. What we will be doing is driving down that asylum backlog. Well do that firstly by by using the £140 million the governments currently spent on rwanda plan, which has sent more home secretaries to rwanda than people to actually have a cross border policing unit to try and bust the model of the people smuggling gangs so that fewer people end up in the English Channel on that dangerous crossing in the first place. Well, multiple reports suggest the government is considering plans to house people who arrive in the uk by unauthorised means on a Distant Island in the Atlantic Ocean. A Ascension Island is a british overseas territory. Its located overseas territory. Its located over 4000 miles away, currently houses two military bases and has a population of around 800 non permanent residents. The non permanent residents. The proposals are a possible plan b if the governments rwanda scheme fails. Of course, a downing street officials saying that its confident it will win the Upcoming Court case business is and landlords who knowingly support Illegal Migrants will face increased fines from next year under new government plans. Bosses who employ Asylum Seekers could see penalties of up to £60,000 per breach. Thats triple the current amount. Prime minister also saying that hes increased the number of police raids by 50 to help clamp down on illegal workers. Home Office Warning that illegal working and renting are significant pull factors for those who choose to cross the channel. Connected devices such as Baby Monitors and Smart Speakers, are increasingly being used to survey , harass and control survey, harass and control victims of Domestic Abuse. Thats according to mps. Now theyre citing data from the Charity Refuge , saying that they Charity Refuge, saying that they warn its likely its going to become even more prevalent in the future. Theyre theyre urging the government to make a commitment to tackle the issue of the new of tech abuse. The new government figures themselves showing on showing that there are on average nine connected devices in every household. Scientists in every household. Scientists have started developing new vaccines as an insurer against future pandemics. The work is future pandemics. The work is being carried out at the governments high security porton down lab in wiltshire. Now theyve drawn up a list of animal viruses which are capable of infecting humans and could potentially spread around the world. Professor dame jenny harries, chief exec of the Uk Health Security Agency , saying Health Security agency, saying that theyve learned lessons from the covid pandemic. The laboratories here has 2800m2 of investors went through the Vaccine Task Force through the uk government during covid. And so what were trying to do now is capture that really excellent work from covid and make sure were using that as we go forward for any new pandemic threats. Threats. Well, the lionesses have secured a place in the quarterfinals of the womens world cup after a dramatic penalty shootout win over nigeria. The england scored four nigeria.

Chloe kelly scored the winning goal following other successful shots from beth england, rachel daley and alex greenwood, the prince and princess of wales have congratulated the team while downing street said the Prime Minister wished them the best of luck when they face either jamaica or colombia. In the quarterfinals on saturday, fans described the game as an emotional roller coaster. Emotional roller coaster. Really tough game. Obviously, really tough game. Obviously, keira walsh came back, but shifted after being injured , shifted after being injured, going down to ten players. But we were always going to win the game, always was amazing. Honestly, i cant believe it. It was hard. It was hard. It was a tough game, but we got there in the end, you know, im really happy that we managed to get through, but im like, i think they could have played better though. And finally, russia is being forced evacuate small forced to evacuate a small village in the far east of the country as it expects its first moon lander to fall later on this week. Now, its been 47 years since the country launched the luna 25 spacecraft to search for ice near the south pole of the moon. Its now coming back to earth and expected to fall in the chitinsky village on friday. There are 26 People Living currently in that area. This is currently in that area. This is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news now lets go straight back to. Patrick it is straight back to. Patrick it is a huge day for illegal immigration in this country. Now, in just a few minutes time, i will cross live to portland to speak to our reporters , as you can see on reporters, as you can see on your reporters, as you can see on your screens reporters, as you can see on your screens there, mark, why and jeff moody. I think mark in particular has got a decent breaking line for us, which i will bring you after ive will bring to you after ive just my thoughts just given my overall thoughts on some of the developments today. So channel migrants boarding the bibby stockholm is a symbolic victory, but sending them to Ascension Island would be the real win. And if any of the refugees welcome or care for calais lot think thats a disgrace. Then let me tell you, theyve only got themselves to blame for calais on boasting now about blocking Something Like 20 Asylum Seekers from going on this barge. They say that these people have disabilities , have people have disabilities, have suffered trauma at sea and persecution in their own country. Well, look , im sorry, country. Well, look, im sorry, but im going to have to take a fair bit of convincing to believe that mainly because of the of the stories emerging of solicitors cash in hand solicitors taking cash in hand to make up bogus to completely make up bogus claims game the system. Also claims to game the system. Also because groups like official et cetera in my view , want open cetera in my view, want open borders. Dont like the government would probably oppose anything they oppose migrant hotels. They oppose offshore processing. They oppose the rwanda plan. They oppose using rwanda plan. They oppose using military bases. Rwanda plan. They oppose using military bases. They oppose military bases. They oppose deportations. They oppose everything. Block, block and block. Okay, then. Well what you get is Ascension Island now , i get is Ascension Island now, i dont think that theyll be happy until the entirety of the third world moves to britain. And weve bankrupted ourselves to accommodate them. Some people might that they are might argue that they are actually helping some kind actually helping with some kind of invasion of britain. Suella braverman words , of course not braverman words, of course not mine. They get away with it mine. But they get away with it by characterising everybody who disagrees with them as far right as as racist, which is a load of rubbish. And from the evidence that was demonstrated today, we can see that that is a complete and utter load of tosh as angry local residents in portland where this barge is stationed, stood aside to let the refugees welcome brigade say hello to the Illegal Immigrants as they arrived. Well, thats not very arrived. Well, thats not very far, right, is it . Its almost like maybe just maybe, the vast majority of people just dont want their area turned into a dumping ground for troubled young middle eastern men , young middle eastern men, destroying their local security and economy. I think it really is that simple. And this brings me on to Ascension Island. We should have been using this from the start, in my view. Send Illegal Immigrants to the island. Military bases island. We have military bases there. It should not be hard to set of tents, medical set up a load of tents, medical facilities , processing centres. Facilities, processing centres. It a british territory, so no it is a british territory, so no need for foreign involvement. Its a proper deterrent , need for foreign involvement. Its a proper deterrent, but i dont think it a disadvantage that many locals would. It really . Now, i was very really . Now, i was very heartened over the weekend to learn hopefully going learn that were hopefully going to start working with the German Government the government to stop the manufacture and transport of small boats to calais. Manufacture and transport of small boats to calais. I think the solution to the channel migrant crisis actually migrant crisis has actually always been staring us right in the face. Stop the small boats getting to calais and then have a genuine deterrent for anyone who makes it across. Make that type of small boat illegal or incredibly heavily regulated and then get migrant camps built on Ascension Island right away. Ascension island right away. Look, those are my views. I mean, unfortunately for me, they dont appear to be shared by the vast majority of people in government or indeed opposition. But there may well be a reason for that. Vaiews gbnews. Com loads in inbox already. Loads in the inbox already. Ill go this go to those shortly, but this is the line i wanted to bring the line that i wanted to bring to you because a Senior Source has told gb news that plans has told gb news that any plans to send Asylum Seekers to ascension the south Ascension Island in the south atlantic for processing are pie in the sky and unachievable. In the sky and unachievable. All. The source told gb news that the plans were already considered and dismissed by bofis considered and dismissed by Boris Johnson and former home secretary patel as completely unworkable. So the Development Comes as the first group of migrants arrived on the bibby stockholm barge today. Im going stockholm barge today. Im going to go straight away now and talk to go straight away now and talk to our Home Security editor, mark white. Mark, look, thank you very much. I mean, the you very, very much. I mean, the Ascension Island plan to me sounds like it should be the plan. But youve been speaking to Senior Source who has said, to a Senior Source who has said, no, just couldnt work. No, it just couldnt work. Yeah, well, i mean, it certainly sounds like a tough and determined plan that if it ever was to happen, you would imagine could be a very significant delay. Aberrant. And significant delay. Aberrant. And its interesting , the story its interesting, the story today when people are speaking today when people are speaking to number 10, other sources at the home office, they are being told that they are not commenting at all on the Ascension Island yet. It was Ascension Island yet. It was clearly briefed out by government because not one, but two newspapers went with this story. This morning. So it was absolutely briefed out by them. But ive been speaking, as you say, to a Senior Source, someone who was intimately involved in all of the detail around the plans for the Ascension Island when they were first considered a few years back under the government of Boris Johnson. And a lot of work was done on it. They tried to assess whether it would have been feasible and they came to the conclusion that it just simply was not workable for a variety of different reasons. One, of course , being reasons. One, of course, being the vast distance , 4000 miles the vast distance, 4000 miles away to the middle of the atlantic, an island with not a great deal , to put it mildly, of great deal, to put it mildly, of infrastructure on the island. Infrastructure on the island. The cost would be so prohibitive in actually building centres to house potential thousands of Asylum Seekers there as well. I mean, the centres as well as all of the wraparound facilities as well. Were told that the well. Were told that the ministry of defence didnt want anything to do with this. The thought that they would fly, you know, potentially thousands of young men down to the Ascension Islands, young men who absolutely would not want to go on that journey, who could be potentially less than compliant. Hundreds at a time on a military aircraft. They just didnt want to know that was a non starter from a military transportation point of view. And then there was the other issue around the lawyers and the courts. They just did not think there was any conceive viable way that theyd ever get this through the courts. There has been so many challenges and some of them successful just yet on trying to put people into Hotel Accommodation or into former military bases or a barge in this country. The thought of an island 4000 miles away in the atlantic , they just didnt think atlantic, they just didnt think was feasible in any way, shape or form. Or form. You see, the thing is, i get that thats the view, obviously. But i personally just dont understand that if its a british territory, see if the facilities there are absolutely okay. If they are going to be looked after and it is a Detention Centre, i personally cannot understand why other than if honest. Some of if theyre being honest. Some of the legal battles is that they just want open borders. They hate everything the government just want open borders. They hedoing� rything the government just want open borders. They hedoing� rythitheyle government just want open borders. They hedoing� rythithey wantyernment just want open borders. They he doing � rythithey want to 1ment is doing and they want to undermine whats going on in the channel and our attempts to stop it. Personally cannot see why it. I personally cannot see why any situation any legal situation would actually but mark, actually occur there. But mark, thats the latest on Ascension Island. Appreciate island. I do really appreciate the that youve got that the fact that youve got that big line right at the top big line for us right at the top of show. Just i go to of the show. Just before i go to jeff our other reporter jeff moody, our other reporter on this, could you just fill us in on exactly happened in on exactly what has happened at stockholm barge at the bbc stockholm barge today, think behind you . Yes , just in the port of yes, just in the port of portland , right here alongside portland, right here alongside four more naval ships that are in this port, because although its no longer a naval port, it does play host to naval vessels on a regular basis. So thats on a regular basis. So thats why security around this port has to be by the nature of the fact that they are housing these military vessels tight. So we have had a number of buses that have had a number of buses that have come through today. Have had a number of buses that have come through today. We are have come through today. We are awaiting a final count on how many people have arrived. But we many people have arrived. But we were told in advance by a sources at the home office that they were expecting around 50 people in this initial batch here today. And then over the coming weeks, more would arrive to a final total of about 500. However we have been told that care for calais and a number of other human Rights Groups and lawyers have intervened. And on lawyers have intervened. And on behalf of some of those who were served with letters telling them that they would be taken to portland and put on the baby stockholm. And a number of those interventions, according to care for calais, have been successful full. So at the last minute some of those due to arrive here have not. So lets just see what the final total is when hopefully the home office might give us an indication of what that is later indication of what that is later in the day. In the day. Mark, thank you very, very much. Mark wight there, our home insecurity editor. Im to going go now to our south west of england. Jeff moody, england. Reporterjeff moody, who portland. In who is also in portland. In a way , its day that weve all way, its a day that weve all been waiting for, jeff, isnt it . Ive lost track of the amount false starts, more amount of false starts, more false when learning false starts when i was learning to now there are to drive. But now there are actually some channel migrants on baby stockholm. And i on the baby stockholm. And i thought, well , maybe the locals thought, well, maybe the locals will come out today in force and oppose all of this and it will be a terrible look because everyone whos calling them far right will be able to say, look, youre a big bunch of racists, but they didnt do that, did they . Fact, they quite they . In fact, they did quite they . In fact, they did quite the opposite. They . In fact, they did quite the oppthats right. They . In fact, they did quite the oppthats right. They no, thats right. They actually chose to stay away. The actually chose to stay away. The note to the barge campaign have deliberately said today they want of the way. Want to stay out of the way. Ill be speaking to one of the noted campaign in a second, but i just want to pick up on what mark white just said about the number people coming and number of people coming in and how we dont know. They say theres going to ive theres going to be 50. Ive been counting. Weve now had four coming in. Theyre four busloads coming in. Theyre going to be very pushed to going to be very hard pushed to get there didnt seem to be get 50. There didnt seem to be a soul the first one, the one a soul on the first one, the one thats just gone past a couple of minutes ago. There are a couple of people on there and thats but the second one thats it. But the second one today was supposed to have nine people come people on board. This has come from that i at the from a source that i have at the hotel in bournemouth where the migrants have come from. There was supposed nine on that was supposed to be nine on that bus, eight of them refused bus, but eight of them refused to the bus. So the second to get on the bus. So the second bus today arrived with just one person. So at the moment theres nowhere near 50 on board. But yes, picking up on your point about the process, its maxine. About the process, its maxine. There havent been any protests from you guys today. Why is that . Where are the banners . Well, jeff , as you well know, no well, jeff, as you well know, no to the barge campaign is not about who these people are. Our campaign is about the fact that portland, port Langham Industries and the home office have made a secret deal to put a barge on the port and house. 500 people now , as you well know, people now, as you well know, portland is an island of 13,500 people. We are lacking in services , and thats what our services, and thats what our campaign is about. Its not about the people themselves. Its about 500 extra people on this island that we cant cope with. How do you feel today . Because weve been campaigning for so long and ive been talking to you guys for so long and here we are with the situation with with these buses arriving on the hour every hour. How do you feel today, jeff . Exhausted. We have been fighting. Been fighting fighting. Weve been fighting for weve been for answers hours. Weve been fighting some fighting just to get some some idea of why this is happening to us. We cant believe this has gone ahead. My personal is gone ahead. My personal view is that rush rishi sunak has disappeared off on holiday. Hes left a note on the fridge door and said to his government, look, im away. Get this done. Look, im away. Get this done. Hes completely and utterly ignored. And the fire unions ignored. And the fire unions advice nice. That is a is a is a grenfell on water and hes just gone get it done. I dont care. Gone get it done. I dont care. And its just the whole thing stinks. Its wrong. Stinks. Its wrong. Okay. Thank you very much. Well feelings are very high here, as youd expect, and its only going to get worse in the days and weeks to come. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Look both of you there. Thank you very, very much. Can i just say, well done the just say, well done to the people of portland who have, frankly, themselves frankly, covered themselves in glory of this. Glory throughout all of this. Okay theyve stood to it and okay theyve stood up to it and theyve completely proved those absolute numpties that we saw with theyd say with signs earlier. Theyd say no islamophobia , no to no to islamophobia, no to anti semitism. Got anti semitism. Its got absolutely nothing to do with that. Its to do with the that. Its got to do with the fact that the government wants to plonk people in the to plonk 500 people in the middle Portland Island middle of portland on an island where theres no resources for them. Removes the safety of them. It removes the safety of them. It removes the safety of the local its costing the local people. Its costing us amount of money. Its us a huge amount of money. Its going tourism. Going to damage local tourism. Thats why theyre up thats the reason why theyre up in arms about got in arms about it. Its got nothing with racism nothing to do with racism whatsoever. There we go. Whatsoever. But there we go. Look, get in touch on your views on the Ascension Island thing as well. Source telling well. A Senior Source telling our security editor that our Home Security editor that the unworkable. The way the plan is unworkable. The way i is it will work if i look at it is it will work if you want it to work. And i think Ascension Island would a Ascension Island now would be a great to illegal great place to put Illegal Migrants proper deterrent. Gb migrants a proper deterrent. Gb views. But if views. A gbnews. Com but if youre lucky enough, not to have had your account closed by natwest, the bank is now natwest, well the bank is now limiting the amount cash that limiting the amount of cash that some people can deposit and find out why the elderly are suffering most when it comes to a Cashless Society. We will fight back on this Patrick Christys gb is channel in just a few moments time , i in just a few moments time, i will look at whether the government could send migrants to Ascension Island. And theres the curious tale of this pub in stoke on trent thats been targeted by Animal Rights activists because apparently theyve got Nothing Better on but gb news is, of course, campaigning to stop the uk becoming a Cashless Society. Our campaign dont kill cash is proving hugely popular. We are now up to 246,000 people signing our petition. We are less than 4000 away from our target of a quarter of a million. The petitions on our website, look at that. Qr code now if youve got a smartphone, okay, go to it as well. Qr code is on your screen right now. Take a little hover of your phone over it. Help gb news with our campaign. Tell the authorities dont kill cash and the reason why we feel so about it is because so strongly about it is because of two stories that arent going so strongly about it is because of hit stories that arent going so strongly about it is because of hit you ries that arent going so strongly about it is because of hit you with hat arent going so strongly about it is because of hit you with rightrent going so strongly about it is because of hit you with right now. Going so strongly about it is because of hit you with right now. If ing to hit you with right now. If you needed reminding of the importance campaign, importance of our campaign, well a at a well have a look at this. A London Council has sparked widespread introducing widespread anger by introducing higher charges for higher Parking Charges for drivers who pay by cash instead of using a mobile app, who will suffer . It will be the elderly, suffer . It will be the elderly, wont it . Liberal democrat run Sutton Council in south london has been accused of discrimination by the rac. It discrimination by the rac. It increased its car park prices in june for people using those machines, but froze them for those who use an app or an automated telephone , we will automated telephone, we will cross live to carshalton shortly. But first, were going to have a little look about this other story about natwest. Well, other story about natwest. Well, its granted itself sweeping new powers to limit cash deposits and withdrawal rules. The move has fuelled warnings that banks are now forcing customers towards a Cashless Society. That is, of course, if they havent cancelled your account. First, our economics and Business Editor Liam Halligan is here now with money. Its our with on the money. Its our money. I want it. Why cant i have it . Have it . Well, natwest say theyre introducing new rules from the 11th of september. Lets have a look. Ive put them up on a graphic here for you. And these are contained in a in a leaflet thats just come to light at the moment. Natwest says theres a £750 limit on a cash machine withdrawal. That seems that withdrawal. That seems that seems sensible. And then seems pretty sensible. And then there other limits on cash there are other limits on cash withdrawals. You notify withdrawals. Unless you notify of £20,000. So if youve got the builders or something, youve builders in or something, youve got a wad of cash and got to get a big wad of cash and then theres aspects to then theres new aspects to these rules from 11th of september, natwest say theyre going to bring in new rules. But this is despite fears of course, that were going to a Cashless Society. I mean , 250,000 bar the society. I mean, 250,000 bar the shouting gb news viewers and listeners. Thats just scratching the surface. And then this is what natwest actually say about why theyre bringing in these new rules. We may apply limits to payments to and from your account, for example, to the you pay in or the amount of cash you pay in or withdraw types withdraw or to payment types where there is a high risk of fraud scams or other crimes. Look theres always been a risk of fraud scams and other crimes. So you have to wonder why natwest want to bring these new rules in. And without wishing to be overly cynical, lets just be sceptical as as good journalists should be. We have to at least consider the fact that a lot of banks , they dont like the cost banks, they dont like the cost of handling cash. A lot of big businesses and tech giants and so on. They want to follow what we do. All our transact sessions, so they want to move away from cash. Yet as we know , away from cash. Yet as we know, patrick, from our reporting and reading endless emails that were getting to gb news now, a lot of people , particularly lot of people, particularly Vulnerable People, particularly older people, they need cash. They to be messing they dont want to be messing about on a smartphone that they dont even own, to park dont even own, trying to park somewhere, some new somewhere, downloading some new app. Its absolutely crazy. And of course, a lot of older people, they end up just getting fines. So id say to gb news viewers and listeners, lets get this petition signed. Lets get this petition signed. Lets get to a quarter of a million. You can use the qr code with your smartphone, but you probably havent if you havent havent got if you havent got a smartphone just gb news smartphone, just go to gb news dot forward slash cash. A dot com forward slash cash. A couple of other things. Couple of other things. Interview both prime interview both the Prime Minister chancellor last minister and the chancellor last week chancellor seemed week and the chancellor seemed pretty about the gb news pretty upbeat about the gb News Campaign and said he understood why people wanted to stick with cash. You know, cash is still millions of transactions each day in this country. He, the Prime Minister, though, is a little bit more sceptical. The Prime Minister is resisting calls as we speak from dozens of tory mps and other mps, labour mps, to have got behind behind our campaign. Now im hearing that number 10 are pushing back a little bit because they think businesses should be able to choose they take cash or choose whether they take cash or not. I say thats where the political rub is going to be. So its really important we get this petition signed once we get to a quarter of a million, that then were going to approach the house commons authorities house of commons authorities and try get thing debated try and get this thing debated on the house of on the floor of the house of commons fantastic. Commons look fantastic. Will there. We might we will get there. We might even get there over the course of this show. Liam, thank you very Liam Halligan our very much. Liam halligan our economics and Business Editor. Lets look now lets just have a quick look now with reporter paul with our National Reporter paul hawkins what reality hawkins about what the reality is actually of situation. Is actually of this situation. An ground. A an on the ground. Its a controversial decision by certain charge people Certain Council to charge people more if use cash rather more if they use cash rather than mobile app to pay to than a mobile app to pay to park. Paul, over to you in carshalton. Yeah carshalton in the london borough of sutton, where for the past two months, if you want to pay for an hours worth of parking, ing an worth of parking, use ing an app worth of parking, use ing an app, you worth of parking, use ing an app you pay worth of parking, use ing an app, you pay £3 hour, you pay app, you pay £3 an hour, you pay £2 an hour. Sorry, but if you use cash, its an hour. So 50 more. Its £3 an hour. So 50 more. Weve been speaking to people here this morning, a lot of them very unhappy with that. And they point out, as you say, to the elderly and vulnerable groups, what they supposed to do . Elderly and vulnerable groups, whafrom they supposed to do . Elderly and vulnerable groups, whafrom the supposed to do . Elderly and vulnerable groups, whafrom the councilsd to do . Elderly and vulnerable groups, whafrom the Councils Pointo . Elderly and vulnerable groups, whafrom the Councils Point of but from the Councils Point of view the heart of this view and at the heart of this question about the Cashless Society going to pay society is who is going to pay for cost of having cash and for the cost of having cash and the council here say that, yes , the council here say that, yes, it is inconvenient for some people, but once youre up and running with the app, its good. And if you dont want to use the app and if you dont want to use the app, if you dont want to use your phone, then about using your phone, then how about using their dedicated line where their dedicated phone line where you phone up and you use your card the cost of card to pay the cost of transport in cash and of maintaining the cash machines here, they say, is £36,000 a yeah here, they say, is £36,000 a year. They either that year. They either absorb that cost then back on other cost and then cut back on other pubuc cost and then cut back on other Public Services or raise taxes or they pass on to those who or they pass it on to those who have use continue to use have to use and continue to use or maybe cant use any other form. So instead, they use cash. So the heart of this is. So at the heart of this is whos for the cost whos going to pay for the cost of using cash. But certainly the council are saying, we do understand that its an inconvenience some, we inconvenience for some, but we are mitigate those are trying to mitigate those circumstances. Theyre not going to tier to change their two tier pricing, though have, though, pricing, though we have, though, got them got assurances from them that they their signs they will change their signs here speaking here because certainly speaking to not to people here, theyre not theyre aware that theyre not even aware that theres different types of theres two different types of pricing phone line pricing here that the phone line that the council recommend to use if youre not going use use if youre not going to use the app in a really small the app thats in a really small font on the side of a park metre. Got some metre. So weve got some assurances council assurances here from the council today that they are going to change signage, but theyre change the signage, but theyre not the two tier not going to change the two tier level of pricing. Yeah absolutely. Paul, you very, look, paul, thank you very, very well go to you again very much. Well go to you again over the course of this show. Very much.

Gb news. Well of weather on. Gb news. Well a special treat for you now. Its that time of year when members of parliament have returned to their constituencies for the summer recess and its no different for gb news very own Jacob Rees Mogg, the conservative member for north east somerset. But of course he does also have a gb news show to present. So for this week only he will be hosting his programme at 8 pm. State of the nation live from somerset , and we are live from somerset, and we are told well be seeing lots of his local area , west harptree, local area, west harptree, a small village in chew valley. Not far from bath, apparently with a population of just 380, somewhere in the region of course, of the Ascension Island population, which i will be talking to him about. Weve also been promised a private tour of his 17th century home, including an exclusive look at his home brewed somerset cider. Looks like jacob might have been holding Something Else there, but no, apparently that is cider as run through of some as well as a run through of some of his favourite household effects, such as this bust of pitt. The younger the tory Prime Minister from the early 19th century. Were also told well century. We were also told well be seeing some cricket between jacob too. That jacob and his children too. That ones not quite gone for four there, a valiant there, but it is a valiant effort. Good. A field of swooping in. Hes got his very own personal lords at the back of the garden there. But Jacob Rees Mogg, im pleased rees mogg, im very pleased to say, now say, joins me from somerset now. Fantastic. Can. Jacob, fantastic. Can i compliment you on your marvellous abode . And we be marvellous abode . And we will be seeing a more of this seeing a lot more of this tonight, wont we . Well, ill be doing my program from somerset this week and this is really important because one of the great things about gb news is were not one of those london centres, ic media outfits. We recognise that there are lots of viewers outside london and the interests of people outside london are much more varied than the metropolitan elite. So im really pleased to elite. So im really pleased to be putting this into practise by broadcasting from home. Absolutely. I look forward to it and i am hoping because were going to you back on going to have you back on whether not, you know, it whether or not, you know, it yet. Jacob, at around half past five as well. So am hoping im five as well. So i am hoping im wondering we might able to wondering if we might be able to get sneak peek of inside your get a sneak peek of inside your property then could we do a little of a and tour . Little bit of a walk and tour . Do you think at half five . Well its really up to the professional experts whether we can do a walk and tour tour. I dont know. Im not the cameraman. So youll have to ask him whether he can do it. One of the things about rural areas is that signal isnt particularly mobile , so were plugged in to mobile, so were plugged in to truespeed at the moment and that gives us a strong signal if we try and rely on mobile signal, it may be a little bit dodgy. Well give it a go. Well give it a but look, can give it a go. But look, can i can ask you a bit about what can i ask you a bit about what is in the news today . Okay. Weve had bibby stockholm weve had the bibby stockholm arrivals. Weve had this weve had the bibby stockholm arrivofy. Weve had this weve had the bibby stockholm arrivof ascension had this weve had the bibby stockholm arrivof Ascension Island this weve had the bibby stockholm arrivof Ascension Island being talk of Ascension Island being used as some kind of processing centre. Now, a Senior Source has told gb news that that is pie in the sky and it is unworkable. The sky and it is unworkable. However, it is an incredibly popular potential policy with our viewers. Would you condone our viewers. Would you condone sending Illegal Migrants for processing on Ascension Island . Processing on Ascension Island . Oh, look, the theory is great, but your Senior Source is right. I was involved in some of the discussions looking at this whilst i was a member of the government, and unfortunately we it would cost at least £1 million per person. You sent there to do it. Why is this . There to do it. Why is this . Well, the Ascension Island is used as a us military base, but because theres nobody else there, theres no fencing or anything. Itsjust there, theres no fencing or anything. Its just a base. So you would have to put up fencing, but you dont have any builders on Ascension Island. So first of all, youve got to send out portacabin residences for your builders. Then youve got to go to builders who have to live there whilst theyre doing the building. Then you have to build the premises for the migrants to live in. Then youve got to persuade people that they want to go and live on the Ascension Island for long penods Ascension Island for long periods run the centre and periods to run the centre and the cost just mount up and up and up and up. And thats why when i was involved in the discussions, it was just thought to be impossibly expensive to do. No, okay. I mean, that does make sense. Some people might say, well, you know, its a price worth paying given what were paying at the moment. If it is a deterrent and therefore it is a deterrent and therefore it stops the boats as well. But can i ask you a bit about about the labor party, jacob, because it to me as though it just seems to me as though theyre copying a lot of your policies at the moment. I mean, despite saying that theyre going to be against new oil and gas, theyd be happy if you did it. They wouldnt that. It. They wouldnt overturn that. Theyre money from just theyre taking money from just stop theyre condemning stop oil now. Theyre condemning just actions. Just stop oils actions. They said that they like the said that they didnt like the idea illegal idea of housing Illegal Immigrants but immigrants on barges, but now theyre to it theyre going to do it themselves whats themselves as well. And whats going on . Well, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. And the labour party has worked out what tony blair worked out. That is to say that the labour party is to say that the labour party is unelectable if it carries out a soft tory policies. That is to say , policies that the tory say, policies that the tory party would want to carry out, but less effectively. And if you do it as a sort of mini me version of the tories, you may be able to win elections because there is no majority in the United Kingdom for red in tooth and claw socialism and keir starmer has quite intelligently worked out. And as worked this out. And as you rightly say, hes now sympathetic oil and gas , sympathetic to oil and gas, doesnt Like Just Stop Oil and suddenly barges are latest suddenly barges are the latest rage. Rage. Yeah, they are indeed. I mean, i suppose this potential could be a concern for the conservative party though. I mean, labour also making some serious noises about actually proposing a genuine change to the nhs. That shock horror might the nhs. That shock horror might involve elements of the private sector. So is it becoming more and more difficult for you to draw a line in the sand between yourselves and the labor party . And with respect, jacob as well, some people will be saying, well, its not really been working so far with the conservatives when comes conservatives when it comes to things like illegal immigration. So why not let labour have a go . Well because the reason it hasnt been working with illegal migration is because of what labour left behind in terms of the European Convention on human rights being brought into uk law, the power thats given to judges to block what parliament passes, which is really strange way of running your democracy. Way of running your democracy. If we had the powers that we had prior to 1997, wed have got on with it ages ago. So this is still the legacy of the constitutional changes made by the labour party. Thats why you cant rely on them in government to do things properly. But lets just wait and see if labour suddenly becomes an advocate of abolishing inheritance tax and then well know theyve really decided to steal the tories clothes. Absolutely. Look, jacob, absolutely. Look, jacob, thank you very, very much for not only appearing on the show and appearing later, but also inviting us all into your beautiful home. And i look forward to seeing a little bit of that later on. Its 8 00, isnt it . 8 00 pm tonight . Yes 8 00, 8 00. Yes. Be there or be square, i think is the trendy thing to say. Jacob, i love you. See you in a bit. Jacob rees mogg, anyway. Right. Moving on from that Animal Rights group peta have asked the landlord of a pub to change its name because they say it promotes dogs with Health Issues. I it promotes dogs with Health Issues. I really think that Animal Rights groups have more on their agenda than targeting a pub in stoke. What about . Oh, i pub in stoke. What about . Oh, i dont know , maybe a halal dont know, maybe a halal slaughterhouse in stoke Patrick Christys on gb news, britains channel well, at 4 00 i will cross live to portland. Migrants have to portland. Migrants have started to be moved onto the busy stockholm barge. It looks like the labour party are now going to copy policy. Going to copy that policy. Apparently were allowed to apparently were not allowed to send Illegal Migrants send the Illegal Migrants to ascension despite that Ascension Island. Despite that potentially being a perfect solution mainly the cost solution, mainly due to the cost of but if you are happening of it. But if you are happening to watch this program right now and you look around at your workforce out there as an employer think, Good Employer and you think, good grief, load of grief, i am employing a load of illegal well, you grief, i am employing a load of illegalwant well, you grief, i am employing a load of illegalwant to well, you grief, i am employing a load of illegalwant to stopell, you grief, i am employing a load of illegalwant to stop it. , you grief, i am employing a load of illegalwant to stop it because might want to stop it because the is going to come the government is going to come after a lot of migrant news after you a lot of migrant news on the agenda today. But before that, activists that, Animal Rights activists have landlord to change have urged a landlord to change the name of his pub because they say glamorises bulldogs. The name of his pub because they say glamorises bulldogs. Can say it glamorises bulldogs. Can i just say, even if it does so what . The old bulldog pub in what . But the old bulldog pub in stoke trent and the owner is stoke on trent and the owner is resisting pressure, resisting pressure from peta on midlands. Pressure from peta on midlands. Reporter will hollis has this ridiculous story. A proper british boozer with a proper british name , the old a proper british name, the old bulldog , a a proper british name, the old bulldog, a name thats now a proper british name, the old bulldog , a name thats now been bulldog, a name thats now been splashed across the National News. And all because of this bulldog atticus , mike and his bulldog atticus, mike and his wife laurie rescued him. If you look closely into his mouth. Come on, sweetie , you can see come on, sweetie, you can see that his teeth have been ground down with an angle grinder , down with an angle grinder, which is usually a sign that he was a bait dog in the dogfighting. Dogfighting. When mike bought the sea lion, a humble corner pub in stoke on trent, he fancied a new name thought atticus has name and thought atticus has breed was perfect, but. But not breed was perfect, but. But not everyone agrees. Animal rights everyone agrees. Animal rights group peta reckons it glorifies brazier philic breeds of dog like bulldogs and pugs that develop breathing difficulties and other Health Issues because of their squashed snouts and skull shape. They sent mike skull shape. They sent mike a letter telling him to scrap the name this letter on my phone and essentially it says what we want to do is to get rid of the name the old bulldog , replace it with the old bulldog, replace it with the old bulldog, replace it with the old bulldog, replace it with the old mutt. The old mutt. Well, i was really quite cross about it because i felt that it was intrusive , it was that it was intrusive, it was patronising , and it was also an patronising, and it was also an attack on a cherished national symbol, the bulldog, which we love in this country. It was an attack on small business, peta, which stands for people for the ethical treatment of animals , ethical treatment of animals, says that promoting breeds with breathing impairments normalises their suffering and encourages others to get them. Others to get them. The name of a pub is not going to influence anyone in in in what dog they choose to buy. And that was pretty much their reasoning. Reasoning. They say theyd even pay to help rename the pub to the old mutt, which they think will go down better with locals. Down better with locals. Why should i Animal Rights get involved in it . Its not get involved in it . Its not nothing to do with them. What a name of a pub is people getting out of the dog. If they want the dog, they love the breed of the dog. It was called the sea lion before. So did that encourage people to keep sea lions . No mike, whos a conservative parliamentary candidate, says the name is staying. Well, its obviously a woke agenda globally on many fronts, isnt there . But, you know , here isnt there . But, you know, here in the midlands, then theyve met the match because were not changing name pub. Changing the name of the pub. You know, our bulldogs you know, we love our bulldogs and not backing down on this. The stoke pub was renamed once, doing it twice. A well once, doing it twice. A well that would be barking mad. That would be barking mad. Nice dog, nice pub will hollis gb news in stoke on trent i its just baffling isnt it . Absolutely baffling. Earlier today peters Senior Campaigns manager, kate werner backed up their calls to change the pubs name. Have a look at this. Were calling for the end of breeding dogs, you know,. But these bull breeds, they suffer more than than most because of the like i say, the exaggerate features that people want them to have. And so were calling to have. And so were calling for this pub to change its name to the old mutt. And we encourage everybody to adopt mutts because they are the healthiest dogs. And we have an overpopulation crisis. This with overpopulation crisis. This with animals with dogs, in animals in with dogs, in shelters, you know, thousands have given up every year, thousands of them are these thousands of them who are these flat because theyre flat faced dogs . Because theyre so to look after. So expensive to look after. Theyre never been to a pub. You know, you can just tell that, cant you . These people who would never, ever go to stoke, let alone a pub in stoke , are trying to cancel a local pub. But the old bulldog isnt the only pub thats been targeted by campaigners. There are a number of pubs in the uk that are called the black boy , that are called the black boy, but several of them have been renamed in recent years following complaints from the black lives matter movement. Black lives matter movement. Despite the fact that the vast majority of these black boy pubs relate to the old coal pit days and have nothing really to do with ethnicity at all. If anything, its just a working class reference. But of course it wont be long before that outlawed as well. And in 2021, gb news reported on a pub in linlithgow in scotland that was named after a black female dog. Named after a black female dog. Okay, the pub was called the black. Okay, the pub was called the black. The pub okay, the pub was called the black. The pub has had its name changed now to the willow tree , changed now to the willow tree, so a complete reverse ferret there. And i cant say that, can i . Gosh. Oh, no. Well, anyway, whatever it is, theyve done it. I was just bonkers, isnt it . But look, were just about got a little bit time for this now. Everyones favourite former Health Secretary is being slammed for posting a video of himself lip syncing to a song from the barbie film in the video posted on tiktok, matt hancock is walking along a beach singing and dancing to im just ken from the box office film. Ken from the box office film. Its gained more than 1. 9 million views and nearly 9000 comments. But i would argue thats mainly because , as you thats mainly because, as you know, i like people rubberneck at a car crash. Thats what this is. Lets just take a little look. I had to watch this earlier on, so im now forcing you to watch matt hancock on a beach doing something from barbie. Boy, im just here where i see the love. She sees a friend. What will she sees a friend. What will it take for her to see a man can be highlighted. Be highlighted. Ill make it stop. Just make it. Can someone have an intervention with matt hancock . Please take the phone off him. Right. And while youre there, do Britney Spears as well. Because thats got weird. But seriously, who does this guy think the total lack of think it is . The total lack of self awareness unbelievable self awareness is unbelievable anyway, right . Moving on a Senior Source has told gb news that any plans to send Asylum Seekers to Ascension Island in the south atlantic for processing is pie in the sky and unachievable .

Very shortly i am going to be talking to the lawyers for andrew malkinson, who wrongly spent 17 years of his life in jail, having been falsely sentenced for rape. This story, aside from for rape. This story, aside from the fact that thats horrendous, this story also has got another dimension to it, which is that they wanted him to pay for his bed and board whilst he was in prison. I didnt realise that people who were wrongly convicted had to do this. Ive got legal on. I think got his legal team on. I think thats to be fascinating thats going to be a fascinating discussion. Im also going to be discussing as well. While discussing this as well. While were trans mafia. Were at it. The trans mafia. Okay just say they are okay ill just say it. They are a thing.

Patrick thank you. Well the top story this afternoon if youve been following it, buses have been arriving today at the bibby stockholm home which is moored off portland in dorset to deliver migrants to their new accommodation. Its not yet known exactly how many Asylum Seekers have been arriving today. Refugee been arriving today. Refugee charity care for calais says several migrants who were given nofice several migrants who were given notice to relocate late onto the barge didnt board and after lawyers had their transfer years cancelled and health and safety concerns have caused further delays with the Firefighters Union. The fbu warning the barge is a potential death trap. Well safeguarding minister sarah dines has told gb news the move is justified, despite those concerns, anything like this, where a large groups of migrants are congregated, is never popular, which is why we have to stop the crisis in the channel but we cant do that by having the pull factors of having Wonderful Hotels being used for Illegal Migrants whove travelled through several safe countries to get here. Lets not forget that. Well, shadow forget that. Well, shadow International Trade secretary Nick Thomas Symonds told gb news that labour would stop the small boat arrivals. What we will be doing is driving down that asylum backlog. Asylum backlog. Well do that. Firstly by using the £140 million, the governments currently spent on rwanda plan, which has sent more home secretaries to rwanda than people to actually have a cross border policing unit to try and bust the model of the people smuggling gangs so that fewer people end up in the English Channel on that dangerous crossing in the first place. Meanwhile , multiple rumours meanwhile, multiple rumours have suggested the government may be considering plans to house migrants who arrive in the uk by unauthorised means on a Distant Island in the Atlantic Ocean on Ascension Island is a british overseas territory, but its located over 4000 miles away. It currently houses two military bases and has a population of around 800 non permanent residents. The non permanent residents. The proposals are a possible plan b if the governments rwanda scheme fails a downing street official says it is confident it will win the Upcoming Court case on that now, business and landlords who knowingly support Illegal Migrants will face increased fines from next year under new government plans. Bosses who employ Asylum Seekers could see penalties of up to £60,000 per breach triple the current amount the Prime Minister also says hes increased police raids by 50 to help clamp down on illegal workers. The home office warns illegal working and renting are a significant pull factor for those crossing the English Channel. For now , connected channel.

Channel news. Channel look, we start this hour with the big news that a Senior Source has told gb news that any plans that were reported earlier today to send Asylum Seekers to Ascension Island in the south atlantic for processing are quote, pie in the sky and are unachievable. The source went on to tell gb news that the plans were already being considered and dismissed by Boris Johnson and dismissed by Boris Johnson and former home secretary priti patel as completely unworkable. We then had Jacob Rees Mogg on this show about half an hour ago who said he was involved with these plans initially and that they it would cost they calculated it would cost around £1 million per migrant, sent to Ascension Island. I suppose the arguments against that would be yes , its that would be yes, its a massive outlay in costs. But how much money is rwanda cost us so far . How much money are we spending on hotels, etcetera as it is, barges like the bibby it is, and barges like the bibby stockholm and would stockholm home and would ascension proper Ascension Island not be a proper deterrent , one that would deterrent, one that would actually stop the boats . But it actually stop the boats . But it comes the bibby stockholm actually stop the boats . But it comesin the bibby stockholm actually stop the boats . But it comesin portland 3y stockholm actually stop the boats . But it comesin portland 3y swelcomed barge in portland has welcomed its first group of migrants on board. Lets go to portland now and speak with our home and security editor mark white. Mark first things first. Ascension island, it was floated. Its island, it was floated. Its a very, very popular idea , very, very popular idea, certainly with a lot of gb news viewers who were saying, hey, if theres a will, theres a way. But the government apparently saying theres no will or saying theres just no will or way. Way. Yeah, theres no doubt. If you want to look tough , its you want to look tough, its a kind of policy that would chime with a lot of people that would feel that, yes, it would be the ultimate deter errant, but it was looked at by Boris Johnson and priti patel. Jacob rees mogg and priti patel. Jacob rees mogg and others, a few years ago when this idea was first mooted and a Senior Source has told me that they really did the figures on it. It was just not achievable. It. It was just not achievable. It was so cost prohibitive. And it was so cost prohibitive. And the fact that you have this island, 4000 miles away that really lacks any kind of infrastructure which you would have to build from scratch down there and then of course you would have to supply at a very again, on a very sort of expensive footing, regular fee, probably by air or by ship, because its so far , far away because its so far, far away from anything. And then there was the military, the military just didnt want to be involved because of the very thought of flying hundreds of angry young men who dont want to be sent 4000 miles away and would potentially be less than compliant on military aircraft was something they just didnt want to even contemplate. So want to even contemplate. So they were out. They were not to going participate in this particular plan. And really, quite quickly, i think Boris Johnson, priti patel and others came to the conclusion that it just was not workable at all. And that it was unachievable. So and that it was unachievable. So talk of it now is very interesting. This was clearly briefed out because it wasnt just one but two newspapers who had the same story, even though today the government is saying that its still committed to rwanda and its not talking about ascension at this stage. About ascension at this stage. But i think we stand actually the chance of being distracted a bit by this, because i think the real story here is just how precarious the governments immigration stop the boats plan is. Patrick because we have the rwanda policy , which is going rwanda policy, which is going nowhere at the moment. Its nowhere at the moment. Its still mired in this final legal challenge to the Supreme Court that could go easily one way or the other. And without a safe third country, this whole illegal immigration bill that was just passed recently in the commons is just going to crumble because it relies on on declaring those who cross in small boats as Illegal Immigrants, denying them the opportunity to claim asylum , and opportunity to claim asylum, and then returning them to their own country if it is safe to do so. We know in the majority of cases its actually not safe to return them to their own countries. So them to their own countries. So youre relying on a third safe country. And if you dont have country. And if you dont have that third country such as rwanda , you have a policy thats rwanda, you have a policy thats just going to crumble and be completely ineffectual. Yeah mark, thank you very, very much for that. Mark white is our home and security editor. I think its worth noting that with the Ascension Islands plan, if thats off the table completely and there is no way that were going to end up sending people to a third country if we cant even send them to our own territories by them to our own territories by the way, the only other way in my view, to stop the boats is to actually physically stop the boats. Over the weekend boats. And over the weekend there talks uk are there was talks that the uk are in talks now with germany. So forget the french, were giving them of money to do them a load of money to do absolutely talks absolutely naff all in talks with actually stop with germany to actually stop the and the manufacturing and transportation of these small boats through europe and ultimately to places like calais. And then of course onto us. That is something that i, for the life of me have not been able to understand why we havent been able to do so far. How can it be that thousands , if how can it be that thousands, if not tens of thousands of this specific type of boat are able to make their way the to make their way to the coastline course, coastline and then, of course, be slammed full of Illegal Migrants before they had towards england . Surely the full might of the europeans Security Services and our own can stop those boats. Maybe that is now happening and maybe that is the way get around the fact that way to get around the fact that we seem unable in this country to any of significant to offer any kind of significant deterrent crossing the deterrent to people crossing the channel. But south west channel. But our south west of england, moody is england, reporter jeff moody is in portland where, yes, another community is facing the brunt now of the fact that they are going to be used as essentially an illegal migrant dumping ground. Jeff, whats going on ground. Jeff, whats going on where are . Where you are . Thank you, patrick. Well, weve seen four buses come in today to various amounts of trumpeting from the media and from the stand up to racism demo onstration who were there handing out welcome packs and waving and showing welcome banners to them. The other side in the debate , the no to the in the debate, the no to the barge campaign , chose to stay barge campaign, chose to stay away today they and to observe from afar. Kate robson, youre from afar. Kate robson, youre from the no to the barge campaign. Why arent you guys down here protesting . This is down here protesting . This is the day that weve been building up to for weeks and months, isnt it . Well, as you know, jeff , our well, as you know, jeff, our grievance isnt actually with the Asylum Seekers. That will be on the barge. That will be on the barge. Our anger is aimed really at the home office and Portland Port who have enabled this. So we know this government are free falling straight off a cliff very soon. But Portland Port is private owned by Langham Industries. They are putting industries. They are putting profit over people so they havent consulted with the community. They are thrusting 500 men onto this barge. And what we now onto this barge. And what we now hear as well is that this will never be filled to capacity. Never be filled to capacity. This vessel is not safe for 500 men. If you look at the fire exits, they are very small and the gangways are very high and narrow. So portland has the gangways are very high and narrow. So portland has just one road on and one road off. The government are absolutely disgusting and ignoring the fire bngade disgusting and ignoring the Fire Brigade Union experts in their field of providing fire advice and safety experience internationally. And theyre calling it a political move because they are aligned to laboun because they are aligned to labour, which is why theyre calling this vessel dangerous. They need to come down here and look at this for themselves as if you imagine 500 men in an emergency situation trying to pile out of one gangway. You have one road off, essentially, if that gets blocked and portland beach road is blocked frequently, if you have a simultaneous incident in weymouth and then on the barge , weymouth and then on the barge, it could end in tragedy. And this is why its been completely ill thought through. But what we ill thought through. But what we have to remember here. Portland port is private london said no. Liverpool said no. Hull said no. Liverpool said no. Hull said no. Essex said no. Portland port said yes. And its all about profit to them without a single thought for anyone else. We have tried to speak to Portland Port and Langham Industries who wont speak to us, but you say that theyve all said no. But the Asylum Seekers themselves are saying no, arent they . We were hearing on the second bus that in today second bus that was due in today , there was supposed to be nine of them on the bus. Eight of them refused get on the bus them refused to get on the bus to come here. What do you make them refused to get on the bus to that . Here. What do you make them refused to get on the bus to that . I dont hat do you make them refused to get on the bus to that . I dont blame you make of that . I dont blame them. You know, settled in you know, theyre settled in hotels. Is, again, the hotels. This is, again, the governments complete disregard for humanity. I mean, its absolute disgraceful around theyre seekers theyre treating Asylum Seekers with contempt as well as the community. Mean, they have community. I mean, they have railroaded portland and weymouth. Portland has just 13,500 residents. As youre thrusting 500 men, potentially vulnerable men , into a community that men, into a community that actually cant support themselves. Our services are very limited. Our port of access for health care is very limited. It is just wrong on every single level. Level but we will not stop fighting this. This is fundamentally wrong and immoral. Well, okay. Kate robson, thank you very much indeed. Fundamentally wrong. And immoral. Youve heard it there. First, back to you. Be fair, jeff is not the to be fair, jeff is not the first time someones used those words jeff, words to describe me. But jeff, can i just ask you to emphasise the numbers of people that arrived on these on these coaches . Because theres a lot coaches . Because theres a lot of noise going around at the moment. Right. Weve had the Ascension Island thing, which was basically one giant smokescreen that look smokescreen that doesnt look like work. Theres like its going to work. Theres massive controversy over whether or bibby stockholm or not the bibby stockholm is actually risk. They actually a fire risk. Are they just saying that its a fire risk because the Fire Brigades Union affiliated to the union are affiliated to the labour actually labour party . Is it actually a fire then there was talk fire risk . Then there was talk about legal letters going in from groups like care for calais on behalf of these migrants, saying you cant possibly send us on this barge. Weve suffered us on this barge. Weve suffered trauma at sea , weve got trauma at sea, weve got disabilities. We were tortured in our own country. It comes hot off the back of some groups of solicitors, of course, being accused of cash in hand accused of taking cash in hand to up kind of stuff. To make up this kind of stuff. But just deal with the but lets just deal with the facts, which is how many people did you see with your own eyes getting buses and getting off these buses and getting off these buses and getting onto a barge . Jeff very difficult to say. Patrick, because the buses are blacked out windows. But the are blacked out windows. But the first bus that went past there was not a Single Person on the side of the road that i was on. So i couldnt see a Single Person in it. The second so i couldnt see a Single Person in it. The second bus we heard that there was only one person on on it, the third bus. I couldnt see a single soul. The fourth bus, i did see 2 or 3. They were filming out of the window at us. So i cant swear by this because ive not seen them. But i would say theres probably less than ten people in there today. And with regards to there today. And with regards to the fire issues , of course, the fire issues, of course, theres no fire issue with having ten people on that barge. None at all. The only issue comes in when you have 500 and the barge is not designed for 500. But at the moment you can have ten, 20, you can have 100 in there. And thats what the barge is built for. Its built for purpose. Itll be fit for purpose. Thats no problem. Its when you start doubling and when you start doubling it and tripling it quadrupling tripling it and quadrupling it, thats the fire thats when you have the fire problems. Yes , i would be problems. But yes, i would be surprised theres more than surprised if theres more than ten all right. Ten in there. All right. Look, jeff, thank you very, very moody very much. Its jeff moody there. A cracking job there. Hes doing a cracking job for us and done now for for us and has done now for a penod for us and has done now for a period of months, actually south west of england. Reporter in portland. I wonder many south west of england. Reporter in you land. I wonder many south west of england. Reporter in you lar home onder many south west of england. Reporter in you larhome nowr many south west of england. Reporter in you larhome now or many south west of england. Reporter in you larhome now or if many south west of england. Reporter in you lar home now or if youre of you at home now or if youre listening radios or what listening on your radios or what youre have ever seen so youre doing have ever seen so much fuss made about something that little that is to going make so little difference when comes to the difference when it comes to the bibby barge . Its bibby stockholm barge . Its a matter of principle, isnt it . Its point that that its its a point that that its going to make a huge difference to the people in the local area. And it make a relatively and it will make a relatively significant to significant difference to the taxpayers because were taxpayers pocket because were going to the going to continue to see the rollout barges. But in rollout of these barges. But in terms actually solving the terms of actually solving the migrant crisis , it is going to migrant crisis, it is going to do absolutely nothing. The one thing i think has served to thing i think it has served to highlight is the complete and utter lunacy of the refugees. Welcome lets stop the far right lot who are out in force all the time. The way that they justify people having their local areas completely decimated and turned into dumping grounds for Illegal Migrants is to say, if youre opposed to this , you must be a opposed to this, you must be a member of the far right. Well what happened today was the actual portland residents decided step one side so decided to step to one side so that everyone who wanted to welcome seekers could welcome the Asylum Seekers could welcome the Asylum Seekers could welcome so it wasnt welcome them. So it wasnt whats quoted often as a hostile environment. Whats quoted often as a hostile environment. But i mean, thats not very right , environment. But i mean, thats not very right, is it . Not very far right, is it . Thats very aggressive , thats not very aggressive, thats racist. And it thats not very racist. And it is almost like the vast majority of people in this country just dont want their local area to change forever because our government cant stop boats government cant stop the boats for its worth, the labour for what its worth, the labour party has now out and said party has now come out and said that they will use barges , that they will use the barges, so no new oil and gas, but we will get a bit new oil and gas under labour party. The nhs under the labour party. The nhs is a sacred but theyre is a sacred cow, but theyre not opposed the private opposed to using the private sector that. Now under the sector for that. Now under the labour party, the barges are terrible cant use them, terrible and we cant use them, but they will use them under the labour getting labour party. Its all getting a little bit its almost little bit weird. Its almost like being run by the same like were being run by the same people are all people and those people are all idiots, isnt it . But anyway , idiots, isnt it . But anyway, loads more this story on our loads more on this story on our website gbnews. Com. The website gbnews. Com. Its the Fastest Growing National News site the ive got site in the country. Ive got the big opinion the best analysis, big opinion and the latest breaking news. But , theres fans but get this, theres fans threatening boycott strictly threatening to boycott strictly come dancing because one of the celebrities criticised a drag show featuring a 12 year old boy. I am asking today, does the trans mafia really exist . Patrick christys on gb news, britains news channel in just a few minutes i will look at whether the government will actually be sending migrants to Ascension Island. And the story of harry and theres the story of harry and meghan buying film and meghan buying the film rights to a book that basically tells fictional account of tells a fictional account of their is this the latest their lives. Is this the latest desperate attempt to be relevant in hollywood . But for a couple of stories of caught my eye today and its got me asking this does the trans mafia exist 7 this does the trans mafia exist . East so firstly for ends have threatened to boycott the new series of strictly after it was confirmed that actress Amanda Abbington will appear. She was criticised after tweeting earlier this year that a 12 year old boy should not take part in a drag show, as if strictly come dancing wasnt camp enough . No no. Now its going to have to be cancelled. But this, i think, is possibly more important. A hospital cancelled a womans operation after she objected to a transgender nurse entering her pre op examination room and this is why im saying now its the trans mafia. If you did agree with the trans agenda , then they with the trans agenda, then they will try to take your career off you. They will try to cancel whatever they dont like and they will try to make sure apparently that you cant recover from a health issue. Im joined now by kelly j. Kee, whos the founder of standing for women. Kelly, thank you very, very much. Can we start with i think probably the most important one first, really , important one first, really, which woman whose which is this woman whose operation after operation was cancelled after objecting to a transgender nurse entering her pre op examination room. You now have to be okay with me wearing a wig, looking at your intimate parts. If you want to get health care in this country , we absolutely i mean , country, we absolutely i mean, that was a private hospital. And theresa is incredibly brave for coming out and talking about really personal Health Issues and very serious Health Issues and very serious Health Issues that shes had and that member of staff had no reason whatsoever to appear in that room without being invited, didnt even knock on the door. So thats sinister enough. In so thats sinister enough. In the nhs, i think its in sussex. There is a man who, for kicks, dresses up as a nurse in his spare time who is now the head nurse in a chronic award for women with chronic mental Health Issues. High trauma , female only issues. High trauma, female only ward and he is the head nurse there. And the first thing that he did was move his office to where those women sleep. So this is a huge, a massive issue in health care settings. And theresa is brave enough to speak out. But there theresa is brave enough to speak out. But there are many women that are really quite appalled and very frightened when theyre in their most vulnerable states , that they are being looked after by men who wish to impose their fetish upon them. And if they dont comply, they will have their health care withdrawn i i i think hm i think its absolutely staggering that they would go as far as to say we will not treat you for your Health Condition because you dont want a man dressed as a woman entering and being around you in your most vulnerable state. I mean, that really is absolutely sinister , really is absolutely sinister, isnt it . Yeah i mean, its i think if you tell people about this, if it wasnt actually printed in a National Newspaper, if i tried to tell somebody about this, i think it sounds so insane , only think it sounds so insane, only cruel that i think most people would have a hard time believing that that actually happened , that that actually happened, that that actually happened, that women no longer have the right, whether theyre in hospital , in right, whether theyre in hospital, in their own homes, elderly people in their own homes, whether theyve got dementia, whatever, whatever vulnerable state these people are in, these women are in, they no longer have the right to say that they want female only care and then that will be respected. We did a survey here at standing for women a few years ago on the hospital wards. A hospital trusts and out of all of those that bother to answer, which were most of them actually, but of all of those that bothered to answer, there was only four hospital trusts that actually recognised the difference between a member of staff as an actual woman and a member of staff who simply said they were one. So thats how deep rooted this insanity is. Well well, kelly, i saw i saw i saw a tweet for women. I saw a tweet over the weekend from the care quality commission, which said that we want to know your experience of giving for experience of giving birth for women and any other birthing individual, which i thought was fascinating. I mean, someone would get a shockif i mean, someone would get a shock if they decided to help me out with what i was calling laboun out with what i was calling labour, to be fair. But can i just ask you a little bit about Amanda Abbington . So shes going to be on strictly come dancing. I not be now i mean, she might not be now because didnt think that 12 because she didnt think that 12 year should be involved in year olds should be involved in a show. This year olds should be involved in a show. This ties in kelly a drag show. This ties in kelly with my overarching question, which i will ask you now. If you dont conform to the transgender agenda , they will try to cancel agenda, they will try to cancel you. And anything that you are a part of , are you. And anything that you are a part of, are they you. And anything that you are a part of , are they the trans part of, are they the trans mafia . Mafia . I 100. Ive been characterising their actions as terrorists for a long time. Are terrorists for a long time. Are they trying to intimidate women into silence . They will go after your jobs. Into silence . They will go after yourjobs. They into silence . They will go after your jobs. They will. Into silence . They will go after yourjobs. They will. They into silence . They will go after your jobs. They will. They will even go after your families like theyve theyve put pictures of my children online. Theyve gone after different family members of mine. So that is something of mine. So that is something that they will do. And i think that they will do. And i think what we have to be really, really acutely aware of in this particular instance is could Amanda Abbington have said, look, i just dont think men can be women and i want to protect female only spaces. And i dont female only spaces. And i dont think women have penises. If she said that, would we have heard a statement from strictly today . Statement from strictly today . Our state funded broadcaster, and say, actually, shes not allowed to be on because i think thatis allowed to be on because i think that is i think that is whats happening in state happening in the state broadcaster. Theyve never reported on their television , on reported on their television, on or of their comedy channels. Or any of their comedy channels. Theyve never reported anything about many things about any of the many things that have happened to me from the lunacy of removing my dictionary definition in billboard, which i thought was ripe for all their sort of radio for Polite Society comedy shows. But theyve really ignored this issue. Womens hour have never sent me an invite and i think when it comes to women, i believe im im quite a good one. Yeah im inclined to believe that as well. Actually. Kelly look, thank you very, very much. And its great to have you on the show and to hear continuing and great to hear you continuing to stick your head above the parapet, of course, keep parapet, of course, and keep speaking quinn speaking out. Is kelly quinn there the founder of standing there as the founder of standing for law and also for women . That law and also groups lot of these groups like a lot of these climate if you if climate activists, if you if they did what they did and spoke with Italian American accent with an Italian American accent , would them for , everyone would see them for what actually are, which what they actually are, which is, view, but is, in my view, the mafia. But there we those more still there we go. Those more still to come and 4 00 in come as we now and 4 00 in a moment. I will ask whether an island the atlantic, with island in the atlantic, with a population of less than 1000 could hold the key to solving the migrant crisis or indeed another island. I think we are getting very close now to channel migrant but channel migrant island, but right now its your headlines with polly middlehurst. Patrick with polly middlehurst. Patrick thank you. Well, some breaking news to bnng well, some breaking news to bring you within the last ten minutes. The bodies, we understand, of three people who were reported missing after failing return from a trip in failing to return from a trip in glencoe have been found. Police scotland says the hillwalkers were climbing annock ridge on saturday. The alarm was raised shortly after 9 00 in the evening , but Police Scotland evening, but Police Scotland also telling us there are no suspicious search circumstances. Now a third bus carrying Asylum Seekers to the bibby stockholm has arrived at the site Refugee Charity care for calais says several migrants who were given notice to relocate to the barge refused to board it out. And a Senior Source has told gb news that any plans to send Asylum Seekers to Ascension Island in the south atlantic for processing is quotes, pie in the sky and unachievable. The source saying the plans were already considered and dismissed by both bofis considered and dismissed by both Boris Johnson and the former home secretary priti patel. Home secretary priti patel.

Well, in a few moments , ill well, in a few moments, ill be talking to rebecca jane, who is, of course, the deputy leader of ukip. And this is about ascension detention, whether or not the Ascension Islands could indeed be used as a Detention Centre. It was briefed out earlier today, supposedly by some government sources. Its then been told its completely unworkable and the cost will be too high. So weve done the old reverse it just a reverse ferret. Is it just a distraction or actually could Something Like that work . Weve got to stop the boat somehow. An actual might quite actual deterrent might be quite nice. Now to the story of nice. But now to the story of a man who spent seven teen years in prison after he was wrongfully convicted of rape and drew malkinson, whose conviction was quashed by senior judges at was quashed by seniorjudges at the court of appeal last month after new dna evidence linking another man to the crime came to light. Now, just today, hes won light. Now, just today, hes won further parts of his court of appeal bid to clear his name. But this opened up a whole can of worms. I think a lot of people werent necessarily aware of some weird quirks of our legal system. Im joined now by legal system. Im joined now by emma who helped to get emma thaw, who helped to get andrew freed. Emma, look, thank you much. Its great andrew freed. Emma, look, thank yo have much. Its great andrew freed. Emma, look, thank yo have you much. Its great andrew freed. Emma, look, thank yo have you on nuch. Its great andrew freed. Emma, look, thank yo have you on the]. Its great andrew freed. Emma, look, thank yo have you on the show. Great andrew freed. Emma, look, thank yo have you on the show. Could to have you on the show. Could you just fill me in a little bit on where were up to in terms of andrew . I cant believe im saying but having to pay saying this, but having to pay for bed board during the 17 for bed and board during the 17 years wrongly spent in prison years he wrongly spent in prison for crime he didnt commit. For a crime he didnt commit. Thanks for having me. Thanks for having me. So just to update you today, we heard from the court of appeal. They released their judgement , which is their view on andys legal challenge , trying to clear legal challenge, trying to clear his name for the past 20 years. And they have today decided that on two further grounds, his conviction was unsafe, which meant in fact, that back in 2004, he did not have a fair trial and of course you raised another issue which relates to the board and lodgings is that thats part of the compensation regime. And your viewers might be aware that if someone has been wrongfully convicted , they been wrongfully convicted, they do have a right to make an application to the state for compensation for that wrongful conviction. But that doesnt conviction. But that doesnt mean to say that the government are duty bound to pay out. And under the previous regime, until recent announcements by alex chalk yesterday , they the chalk yesterday, they the government deducted border lodgings from that compensation payout. Well, what would the board and lodgings be . Because i regularly report on things like oh it costs us about 35 to 40 grand a year to house somebody at now his majestys pleasure. So whatever compensation he was going to get for what . Hopefully his life not being ruined but not far off 17 years were they looking at deducting a 40 grand a year from that for the time he spentin a year from that for the time he spent in prison . Spent in prison . Well, lets start with the amount of compensation that one can claim. So its capped at ten years and thats £1 million. So thats the most that under the current Compensation Scheme that a person is entitled to receive. Person is entitled to receive. And of that , previously under and of that, previously under the under the Compensation Scheme, the government were entitled to deduct board and lodgings. Now im not an expert in this area of law. Im a a criminal barrister and we work on getting people who are wrongfully convicted free at the court of appeal. But i understand that a sum that the government thought deemed fit would be would be deducted from a compensation claim. But we welcome the news yesterday that the government have now decided, following the coverage that andys case has received, that they will no longer , in future they will no longer, in future claims, deduct that amount from someones compensation. Someones compensation. Okay. All right. And to just clarify that, the update from today, i suppose, is that there were elements of his inner initial conviction. So not just the fact that obviously it wasnt him, but what was the process that was used in to , process that was used in to, order quote unquote, snare him in the first place . Was wrong . Was it is that right . Well, on the 26th of july, the court of appeal found that the court of appeal found that the dna evidence had been obtained by myself and my colleagues in an appeal prove that Andy Malkinson could not have been the perpetrator of this crime. But we also this crime. But we also presented to the court of appeal at that hearing further evidence which showed that the Greater Manchester police had, in fact withheld vital evidence, which could have helped andys legal team at the time defend him at trial and in the court of appeals view , if that material appeals view, if that material had been disclosed, the jurys verdicts may have been different. So this ruling today upheld upholds our view, which is that andy didnt receive a fair trial at the time and should never have been convicted in the first place. Emma, thank you very much for coming on. It is a fascinating story for all the wrong reasons, but thank you for bringing it to us. Amateur there who helped to get freed. Right . Look get andrew freed. Right . Look more on the migrant crisis now. Its a massive day for migration news. This weve got the barge, weve the fact that labour weve got the fact that labour are saying they would use barges as so they flip flopped on that. There was story dropped there was a story that dropped earlier going to earlier on about were going to send Ascension Island send people to Ascension Island and was told and that was then told immediately that this cant possibly work because it would cost around million per cost around £1 million per migrant. Cost around £1 million per migrant. There was cost around £1 million per migrant. There was talk of even migrant. There was talk of even sending to garner. Garner sending people to garner. Garner then was talk then denied it. There was talk of sending people to niger. Theres military coup going theres a military coup going on in the moment. So i in niger at the moment. So i dont how going to dont see how thats going to happen. Talk of us happen. Theres talk of us helping germans to stop helping with the germans to stop these sale manufacturing and these sale and manufacturing and transportation of the small boats. Weve given. The french, of course , a few hundred million of course, a few hundred Million Pounds and theyve done absolutely nothing it. So, absolutely nothing with it. So, yes, busy day for the yes, its a busy day for the migrant crisis, but could a british territory fall a thousand away, i. E. The thousand miles away, i. E. The Ascension Island, be the key to solving this problem . The government could send Asylum Seekers to the Ascension Island if the rwanda plan fails, the Supreme Court will rule later this year whether or not they can send them to rwanda. But it seems wont be the silver seems it wont be the Silver Silver bullet the government needs. Source has needs. As a Senior Source has told gb news that its pie in the sky and unachievable goal. So what do we do now about Ascension Island . The island, of course , is very its just course, is very small. Its just 34mi2. In 2010, the population was estimated to be 884 people. It played a key role in britain, winning the falklands war in 1982, an and its one of the most remote places on earth. Its around 1000 miles from the coast of africa. Joining me now coast of africa. Joining me now is deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane. Rebecca, thank you very much. No matter what the cost, would you use Ascension Island . Island . No, i wouldnt. Its absolutely load of nonsense. But why would that ever surprise us with the conservative party . So with the conservative party . So all they are doing is more headune all they are doing is more headline attention seeking, grabbing nonsense in their pr redemption tour because of the mess that theyve made of our country. You know, processing people offshore absolutely is correct. And ukip have been saying for goodness knows saying that for goodness knows how a decade now. How long, maybe a decade now. And if wed have actually been listened the place. Listened to in the first place. Think how much money we think about how much money we could possibly saved. But could have possibly saved. But this plan is nonsense because could have possibly saved. But this |face is nonsense because could have possibly saved. But this |face it,� |onsense because could have possibly saved. But this |face it, its;ense because could have possibly saved. But this |face it, its 34mi2. 3cause could have possibly saved. But this |face it, its 34mi2. Its se lets face it, its 34mi2. Its got 800 people. Itll take about ten minutes until its full. So what we need to do and i keep on saying this, its really actually very simple, you turn the boats back, you dont keep on giving millions of pounds to france. We erect nautical defences and we install border guards. But more importantly, we stop talking and we start doing i you know, rebecca, i think the time now for turning the boats back has never been more politically possible because the labour party have said that they will be using barges. They have also come out and been very flip floppy on new oil and gas when it comes to the nhs making reforms. Theyre involving the private sector. Labour seems to private sector. Labour seems to be warming to the idea. Good be warming to the idea. Good grief, keir starmer said. What a woman is the other day. So things changing now. All of things are changing now. All of this to me that if the this implies to me that if the tory party turn the boats tory party did turn the boats back it works, we know now back and it works, we know now that labour wouldnt reverse that labour wouldnt reverse that policy , so why just do that policy, so why not just do it . It . Listen , patrick, weve got to listen, patrick, weve got to be very careful with labour because theyre the next in line for saying whatever they think that we want to hear, whether they are actually going to do anything it is going to be anything about it is going to be anything about it is going to be an entirely different story. Theyre as corrupt theyre all as corrupt as each other know that im like a other and i know that im like a broken record, but what genuinely needs happen is all genuinely needs to happen is all splintered need to come splintered parties need to come together this. Together and truly fight this. Weve conservatives weve seen who the conservatives are, weve who labour truly are, weve seen who labour truly are, weve seen who labour truly are. Labour dont believe in are. Labour dont believe in stopping small boats. Stopping the small boats. They dont in, you know, dont believe in, you know, stopping our immigration problem when they get in power , they when they get in power, they will do another full circle on all this nonsense that theyre trying to say now. And the problem will become even worse. So if theres thing that i so if theres one thing that i beg everybody, the beg of everybody, the conservatives are terrible, but labour answer labour are not your answer ehhen fascinating stuff. No, its fascinating stuff. Look, thank you very, look, rebecca, thank you very, very great have very much. Its great to have you show. Im sorry it you on the show. Im sorry it was bit and sweet, but i was a bit short and sweet, but i always really love input always really love your input and love having you on. Its fantastic to hear from you. Its rebecca there, whos the rebecca jane there, whos the deputy yeah, rebecca jane there, whos the deput look, yeah, rebecca jane there, whos the deput look, what yeah, rebecca jane there, whos the deputlook, what do yeah, rebecca jane there, whos the deput look, what do youeah, rebecca jane there, whos the deputlook, what do you make of well, look, what do you make of this island plan then . This Ascension Island plan then . I it was front page news i mean, it was front page news pretty much earlier on today, and already been and then its already been kiboshed tried to kiboshed by people who tried to bnng in kiboshed by people who tried to bring in years ago and were bring it in years ago and were told that was unworkable. So told that it was unworkable. So i answer to lie i think the answer has to lie now, doesnt it, with us working with the germans stop these with the germans to stop these small boats actually being manufactured and made, that would boats, would be stopping the boats, wouldnt literally wouldnt it . Quite literally stopping harry stopping them. But anyway, harry and meghan bought the film and meghan have bought the film rights about couple rights to a book about a couple who in their 30s. Who fall in love in their 30s. One of the characters loses a parent in a car crash. Theres also of and drug also plenty of alcohol and drug use. Does this sound familiar at all . Yeah is it their desperate attempt to woo hollywood attempt now to woo hollywood again . Christys on gb again . Patrick christys on gb news news. Channel at 5 00, we will have the very latest from portland where, well, supposedly anyway, migrants have finally started to board the bibby stockholm barge for coach. Loads have arrived. For coach. Loads have arrived. Apart from at least two of those coaches. According to our reporter, appeared to be empty anyway. So how on earth can anyway. So how on earth can these channel migrants be launching last ditch legal bids to not go on this barge because of having suffered trauma at sea . So i will be bringing you bang up to date from what on earth is going on in portland at the moment. Earth is going on in portland at the moment. But this story made me chuckle a month after harry and meghans ludicrous deal. Me chuckle a month after harry and meghans ludicrous deal. And and meghans ludicrous deal. And to actually making films. So theyre said to have bought the movie rights for their romantic novel. Meet me at the lake by carly fortune. And can i just carly fortune. And can i just say that that surname, i think, is very , very appropriate is very, very appropriate because the book is about a couple who find love in their 30s. Its a bit like harry and meghan, isnt it . The parents are one of the people in the novel was killed in a in a car crash. Thats like, oh my gosh, this is like harrys mum. He covers topics like, like alcohol and drug use, which. Hang on a minute. Harry wrote in his minute. Harry wrote about in his autobiography. I mean, does the rest of this book happen to contain a bang . Average hollywood actress who married really, really well and then wasnt accepted by the individuals family and then had to flee . If it does , then surely to flee . If it does, then surely this is just all about their lives. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Im joined now by showbiz journalist rebekah twomey. Rebekah, thank you very much. Great to have you on. I mean, this is surely harry and meghan have been taken for a ride here by a chancellor who just thinks if i write a book about them, but dont name them, then they might this into a then they might turn this into a film, is whats happened. Film, which is whats happened. Is some ego, i i mean, there is some ego, i think, at play here, but there is a bestselling novel. And what i would say is that meghan does have a lot of experience, you know, in front of the camera. Know, in front of the camera. And she was married to Film Producer before producer Trevor Engelson before she harry. So i think she she met harry. So i think she does know a thing or two about production, how many skills at this are a bit more questionable. But you know, if theyre going to, you know, make a move into into production, they really should go with something does some something that does echo some of their experiences. Their own experiences. Might have something they might have something more they might have something mo but i mean, a producer role but i mean, a producer role is really about the money and anything that meghan anything that harry and meghan do, people Pay Attention to . Want watch it. So people want to watch it. So whether its a complete flop or is a huge success, yes. I think really well all be talking about im sure ill come back and well be discussing it once its released. No, absolutely. But so apparently paid around apparently theyve paid around £3 million for the film rights to this romance novel, which is a lot of money. But a heck of a lot of money. But that means that they will presumably have to actually produce a film about this at some point, which involves some work, doesnt it . Work, doesnt it . Yes. Yeah. Thought you were yes. Yeah. Thought you were going to ask that because they might actually have to get their hands a little bit mucky because obviously theyve been quite criticised from and criticised from spotify and their with their their involvement with their Netflix Documentary as well. And Netflix Documentary as well. And theyre very little, i think, left say about own left to say about their own lives and sort of, you know, any, more information to any, any more information to give royal family. So give about the royal family. So i think this is going to have to be, you know, a job where they actually take of the script. You know, get involved the you know, get involved in the casting, involved in, you casting, get involved in, you know, of but know, all the rest of it. But i think at the moment, theres a big strike going on in hollywood, so theres not going to anyone turn you to be anyone to turn this, you know, as into a full know, as yet into a full screenplay. Its going to take quite a while, and i think theyll be frustrated because now this. Theyll now theyve done this. Theyll want to make impact to want to make a big impact to show theyre just show that theyre not just freeloaders. Two freeloaders. And i think the two of them are learning. They are listening to what the public are saying and saying about them. And i appreciate that. Most people arent of them. If arent huge fans of them. If they particularly they ever were, but particularly not i think theyll make not now. So i think theyll make sure got a very sure that theyve got a very active but really its active role. But really its about and think about financing and i think theyve still quite a lot of theyve still got quite a lot of cash some of deals. Cash on some of those deals. Well, theyve got a huge amount cash, theres no doubt amount of cash, theres no doubt about that. How long that cash amount of cash, theres no doubt about after. How long that cash amount of cash, theres no doubt about after the w long that cash amount of cash, theres no doubt about after the w lonof hat cash lasts after the likes of spotify. Cetera. Essentially spotify. Et cetera. Essentially called grifters another called them grifters is another thing. You reckon thing. But what do you reckon the of meghan somehow the chances of meghan somehow playing in the playing a starring role in the film are . I think meghans very good at pivoting spotlight wherever i think meghans very good at pi needs spotlight wherever i think meghans very good at pi needs to spotlight wherever i think meghans very good at pi needs to be. Otlight wherever i think meghans very good at pi needs to be. So ght wherever i think meghans very good at pi needs to be. So ifil wherever i think meghans very good at pi needs to be. So if itnherever i think meghans very good at pi needs to be. So if it needser it needs to be. So if it needs to be, you know, if she needs to get involved, maybe some people wont want to touch this project. Im sure theres some people who theyve foul people who theyve fallen foul of who wont want of in hollywood who wont want to go near it. Im sure meghan might just, you know, use it as an opportunity to show some of her but what i would say her skills. But what i would say about that about meghan, though, is that i really recent really do believe in recent times she been listening to times she has been listening to the public outcry. She been the public outcry. She has been stepping a bit, i think, stepping back a bit, i think, and the and letting harry be at the centre of things, particularly when he was promoting that autobiography smiling autobiography spare im smiling because whenever i of that because whenever i think of that book, do of some of the book, i do think of some of the revelations frostbite. But revelations about frostbite. But with meghan, i think she with with meghan, i think she does actually. Shes very clever lady. Think she will know that lady. I think she will know that people wont really want to see her in this film. I think itll probably be on hand to give some tips. Well, i await with bated breath to see whether or not this particular hollywood venture succeeds. But rebecca twomey, showbiz twomey, thank you, showbiz journalist. It will be fascinating see what bit was fascinating to see what bit was done by, you know, lets say they like Martin Scorsese or they get like Martin Scorsese or someone like that, Quentin Tarantino do a bit of it tarantino to in do a bit of it and then sacks it off after and then he sacks it off after the first of and the the first half of it. And the rest of them is just prince harry markle using harry and Meghan Markle using sock moving on, sock puppets, but moving on, a Senior Source has told news Senior Source has told gb news that any plans to send Asylum Seekers ascension seekers to Ascension Island in the south atlantic for processing are pie in the sky and okay but and are unachievable. Okay but what else is going to be happening right now then . Could we start working the we really start working with the germans boats germans to stop the boats actually getting to calais . And of course well be having a big debate as well on the latest revelations from the bibby stockholm barge. Apparently, stockholm barge.

Te the high teens, but warmer|ly in the high teens, but warmer weather gb news is 5 pm. Its Patrick Christys. Its gb news. Heck of a lot to get through this hour. We are, of course, starting with the very latest on the migrant crisis. The first arrivals have rocked up now on the bibby stockholm barge. However our care calais and other human care for calais and other human Rights Groups are saying that they managed they have successfully managed to block several people from getting on that barge. How is this being allowed to happen . But in other news, this could be good stuff because supposedly there are going to be huge fines. Now for companies that employ Illegal Migrants to the point where it might put them out of business. There goes your local car wash. Were also going to be talking, of course, about this story as well, detention on ascension. Really ascension. Could it really be the the government is the case that the government is actually considering, again on putting migrants on putting Illegal Migrants on ascension now they bendy Ascension Island . Now they bendy off time around a off the first time around a couple years ago because they couple of years ago because they said too expensive. But said it was too expensive. But if look at how much money if we look at how much money weve for french weve given the for french absolutely much absolutely no result, how much money costing every single money is costing us every single day , how much money day in hotels, how much money barges has the barges are costing us, has the appetite to actually appetite re emerged to actually build centre on the build a Detention Centre on the Ascension Island . I will also , Ascension Island . I will also, of course be discussing this as well. Me my money. So well. Give me my money. So apparently natwest now are putting big limits on what you can withdraw cash wise. Were also hearing as well that Parking Zones are going to cost you more money if you are paying in cash as opposed to on your app. Do in cash as opposed to on your app. Do you really want elderly men and women standing around in car parks, potentially late at night trying to download an app on their mobile phone . It is an inevitability that they will be mugged and hurt as mugged and possibly hurt as well. So thats all still to come. And theres a little clip come. And theres a little clip of something to show you now of matt hancock, who is fast becoming the tony blair level of unflushable, isnt he . I think this guy. But he is copping it now from everybody with eyes is fans of barbie and people with any sense of decency. I will be playing this toe curling matt hancock clip for you very, very shortly. Patrick christys on. Gb shortly. Patrick christys on. Gb news loads to get out. Keep your views coming in. Gb views gbnews. Com. But right now its your headlines polly. Patrick. Thanks very much indeed. Good evening to you. Well, our top story in the news this evening is, in fact, a breaking news story. Were hearing that consultants in england will go on strike during the month of september if they dont reach an agreement with the government. Were hearing from the British Medical Association, the bma , medical association, the bma, that staff will walk out on the 19th and the 20th of september. Thats going to be disrupt live for patients who are expecting surgery on those dates or have appointments. We dont have any further clearer detail at this moment. We will bring you more on as we get it. Now, on that as we get it. Now, bosses have been arriving at the bibby stockholm to deliver migrants to their new accommodate ocean moored off portland in dorset today. Its portland in dorset today. Its not known exactly how many Asylum Seekers are arriving , but Asylum Seekers are arriving, but care for calais says several migrants who were given notice to relocate late onto the barge didnt board after their lawyers had transfers cancelled health and safety concerns have caused further delays , with the further delays, with the Firefighters Union warning the barge could be a potential death trap. Safeguarding minister sarah dines told gb news, though the move is justified despite the move is justified despite the concerns. Anything like this the concerns. Anything like this where a large groups of migrants are congregated is never popular, which is why we have to stop the crisis in the channel. But we cant do that by having the pull factors of having Wonderful Hotels being used for Illegal Migrants whove travelled through several safe countries to get here. Lets not forget that. Well, the shadow forget that. Well, the shadow International Trade secretary, Nick Thomas Symonds , told gb Nick Thomas Symonds, told gb news labour would stop the small boat arrivals is what we will be doing is driving down that asylum backlog. Well do that firstly by using using the £140 million the is currently spent on rwanda plan, which has sent more home secretaries to rwanda than people to actually have a cross border policing unit to try and bust the model of the people smuggling gangs so that fewer people end up in the English Channel on that dangerous crossing in the first place. Well local campaigner kate robson from no to the barge says the vessel is a safety risk. The vessel is a safety risk. And if you look at the gangway going up the side of that vessel, it is very narrow and it is high. You have 500 men. If theres an incident in the middle of the night, they all speak different languages. It could be chaos trying to get off there. And im very concerned. And also for our fire concerned. And also for our Fire Fighters as well. But our issue fighters as well. But our issue is not with the Asylum Seekers at all. Meanwhile, a Senior Source has told gb news any plans to send Asylum Seekers to ascension, an island in the south atlantic for processing. Png is pie in the sky and unachievable, the source told us the plans were already considered and dismissed by both bofis considered and dismissed by both Boris Johnson and the former home secretary priti patel, as completely unworkable. While the completely unworkable. While the island is a british overseas territory, located 4000 miles away and businesses and landlords who knowingly support Illegal Migrants will face increased fines from next year under new government plans. Bosses who employ Asylum Seekers could see penalties of up to £60,000 per breach , and thats £60,000 per breach, and thats triple the current amount. The triple the current amount. The Prime Minister also says hes increased police raids by 50 to help clamp down on illegal workers. And the home office warns illegal working and renting are still six significant pull factors for those deciding to make that dangerous journey across the engush dangerous journey across the English Channel. Well in other news today, scientists have started developing new vaccines as an insurance against future pandemics. The works being pandemics. The works being carried out at the governments high security porton down laboratory in wiltshire. Theyve drawn up a list of animal viruses which are capable of infecting humans and may spread around the world as well. Some around the world as well. Some breaking news we received within the last hour the bodies of three people who were reported missing after failing to return from a trip in glencoe have been found. Police scotland say the hillwalkers were climbing anna sewell eagle ridge on saturday. The alarm was raised shortly after 9 00 in the evening. The after 9 00 in the evening. The force says there are no suspicious circumstances. Suspicious circumstances. However sport and the lionesses have secured a place in the quarterfinals of the womens world cup after a dramatic penalty shootout win over nigeria. England scored four nigeria.

Thats happening on saturday. Fans watching todays game against nigeria described it as an emotional roller coaster. A tough game. Obviously, a tough game. Obviously, keira walsh came back, but shifted after being injured , shifted after being injured, going down to ten players. But we were always going to win the game, always was amazing. Honestly, i cant believe it. It was hard. Its a tough game, but we got there in the end, you know, im really happy that we managed to get through, but im like, think they could but im like, i think they could have better though. Have played better though. This is gb news across the uk on your tv, in your car, on Digital Radio and on your smart speaken Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker. Now by saying, play gb news. This is britains news. Channel we well look. Channel migrants boarding the bibby stockholm is a symbolic victory , but sending them to victory, but sending them to Ascension Island would be the real deal. And if any of the refugees welcome or care for calais lot think that its a disgrace and they only have themselves to blame. Care for calais are boasting about blocking 20 Asylum Seekers also from going on this barge. They say that these people have disabilities , have suffered disabilities, have suffered trauma at sea and persecution in their own country. Well, im their own country. Well, im sorry, but im to going have to take a fair bit of convincing to believe that, mainly because of the stories emerging of solicitors taking cash in hand to completely make up bogus claims to game the system. All so because groups like this clearly want open borders, hate the government and would oppose anything they oppose migrant hotels, they oppose offshore processing, they oppose the rwanda plan. They oppose using military bases. They oppose deportation. They oppose deportation. They oppose everything. Block block. Block. Well, okay, then what you get is Ascension Island. I dont think Ascension Island. I dont think that theyll be happy until the entirety of the third world moves to britain. And weve moves to britain. And weve bankrupted ourselves to accommodate them. Some people might argue that they are actually helping with the invasion of britain, that of invasion of britain, but that of course be Suella Braverman course would be Suella Braverman view not necessarily view and not necessarily mine, but they away with it by but they get away with it by characterise using everybody who disagrees with them as a far right racist which is a total load of rubbish. And given the evidence that was demonstrated today , it proves that is rubbish today, it proves that is rubbish. Angry local residents in portland who dont want the barge there stood aside to let the refugees welcome brigade say hello to the Illegal Immigrants as they arrived. Well, thats not very far right, is it . Its almost almost like maybe the vast majority of people just dont want their area turned into a dumping ground for troubled young middle eastern men, destroying their local security and their economy. It really is that simple. And this bnngs really is that simple. And this brings me on to Ascension Island. Look we should have been using stuff like this from the start. Send Illegal Immigrants to that island or maybe others like it. We have military bases there. It will not be hard to set up a load of tents, medical facilities, processing centres. Its a british territory, so no need for foreign involvement. This is a proper deterrent. There are rumblings about it costing £1 million per migrant. Costing £1 million per migrant. Im not quite sure i believe that. But also how much is it costing us every single day at the moment, just relentlessly ploughing a system that ploughing on with a system that doesnt. I was doesnt work. I was very heartened over the weekend to learn that were hopefully going to work with the German Authorities to stop the manufacture and transportation of small boats to calais. The solution to the channel migrant crisis has always been staring us right in the face. Stop the small boats getting to calais and have a genuine deterrent for anyone who makes it across. Make anyone who makes it across. Make that type of small boat illegal or incredibly heavily regulated, and then get migrant camps built on Ascension Island right away. On Ascension Island right away. Yeah, well, thats what i think. But i want to hear from you, gb views at cbnnews. Com. Well, look, sending the migrants to Ascension Island is looking even more sending them more unlikely than sending them to. Apparently, a senior to rwanda. Apparently, a Senior Source has told that any source has told gb news that any plans to send Asylum Seekers to Ascension Island in the south atlantic for processing are quote sky and quote, pie in the sky and unachievable. The source said unachievable. The source said the plans were already considered and dismissed by bofis considered and dismissed by boris priti patel as Boris Johnson and priti patel as unworkable and it comes as the bibby stockholm barge in portland welcoming portland has been welcoming the first migrants today. First group of migrants today. Lets go to portland now and speak to our home and security editor mark, thank editor mark white. Mark, thank you very much. The bit you very, very much. The bit that im interested in is if we are not able to send them to the Ascension Island or Something Like that, there were some noises the weekend about us noises over the weekend about us potentially german potentially working with German Authorities actually stop the authorities to actually stop the manufacturer and the transportation of small boats to calais. Maybe thats more workable. Workable. Well , to be fair, the well, to be fair, the National Crime agency has for a number of years been working with Law Enforcement colleagues around the world with a view to trying to track where these small boats are manufactured and to try to disrupt them at source. And they have had a number of successes over the years. In successes over the years. In fact, weve been able to track a definite sort of reduction in the number of small boats that come across the English Channel every time they have one of these proactive policing operations that disrupt that one of these people smuggling gangs. The trouble is these are operations and these successes are few and far between , and are few and far between, and they need to be vastly increased against the people smugglers who are very sophisticated. And now, are very sophisticated. And now, patrick, they have very well sourced out lines of supply. And sourced out lines of supply. And those boats are made to manufacture in china. In turkey, manufacture in china. In turkey, theyre transported and just by normal vehicle on Road Networks to the likes of germany. And many of them actually go to germany, which is why germany has been mentioned in the sort of the greater cooperation that the National Crime agency is hoping that it will be able to do with its Law Enforcement colleagues in germany, because so many of the boats do head to that country. But there have that country. But there have been transported in normal vehicles. So how do you know that that any particular vehicle is actually carrying a boat . Is actually carrying a boat . Because theyre not carrying theyre not its not a boat on a trailer. It theyre not its not a boat on a trailer. It is a rubber dinghy that has been deflated and folded up to no more than the size of a big box or two in the back of a van or wherever they might be. So unless you actually have intelligence on who is manufacturing these boats, the actual rubber boats providing the outboard motors, the life jackets and all of that , then jackets and all of that, then you go after those particular gangs that are doing that. You put them under surveillance and you stop them. That way. And there are efforts to be fair, as i say, there are underway, but its such a difficult job given the large nature of this operation and the sophisticated nature of this illegal operation. Im not 100 sure why any of us bother working for a living, because it does appear that you can manufacture completely undetected the very lucrative sale of these small boats. But when it comes to working for a living, mark, apparently tougher rules and regs when it comes to people who are employing Illegal Immigrants. I did make little quip earlier did make a little quip earlier on about, well, goes your on about, well, there goes your local car wash, but you actually did investigation into to did do an investigation into to this kind of stuff. And whats going to happen then if people are employing Illegal Immigrants now. Now. Well, the potentially will face the prospect of Immigration Enforcement coming banging down their door in these raids that they are seeing that there are going to be doing increasingly over the months ahead. But although the fines are increased ing, the number of raids that have taken place and some of it, to be fair, is due to the covid pandemic over recent years. But the number of raids has reduced in the last few months. The number of raids are shooting up again. So i think there is a determination there by Immigration Enforcement to go after the car washes and the delivery drivers and the restaurant workers and those in the construction industry. There are many. The government doesnt are many. The government doesnt give an official estimate of how many people they believe are working illegally in the black economy. But some other groups economy. But some other groups that monitor these things have put that number at a million, a million and a half at least. Million and a half at least. Yeah i yeah i mean, it does appear that thatis i mean, it does appear that that is going to put a lot of people out of business, of course. But, mark, thank you very, very much. Youve been doing a stellar job while ive doing a stellarjob while ive got you, actually, of course, behind behind you is, of course, the stockholm we the bibby stockholm barge. We did arrivals did see the first arrivals today. That does seem to be a little bit of a discrepancy as to how many people have managed to how many people have managed to get on that barge because groups like care for calais have got supposedly got involved and supposedly submitted issues for submitted legal issues for people suffered deep submitted legal issues for people at suffered deep submitted legal issues for people at and uffered deep submitted legal issues for people at and theyed deep submitted legal issues for people at and they couldnt trauma at sea and they couldnt possibly be on that barge. Mark, is that right . Is that right . Mean, its all to yeah. I mean, its all to predicting , well, you could predicting, well, you could write well in advance every write this well in advance every time the government tries to move forward with with whatever it is putting them in hotels or bases or this particular barge , bases or this particular barge, you get interventions by the human Rights Groups, by lawyers and others representing those channel migrants. And what weve got, we understand , is quite got, we understand, is quite a number of interventions , us and number of interventions, us and a few that have been, at least in the interim , successful that in the interim, successful that have managed to stop those people being put on the buses to come here to the bibby stockholm. It will be really interesting. Im told that soon ish we will get a figure from the home office as to how many they put on the barge today. It they put on the barge today. It was supposed to be 50 for this first group coming today , but first group coming today, but those whove been watching the buses arriving with very few people on board think that that number was not much more than a dozen, 15, maybe 20 at most. Well there we go. Look, mark, thank you very much. Mark wight there at home as security editor. Im going to whizz us over now to speak to a researcher at migrationwatch uk, jeremy you jeremy hutton. Jeremy thank you very, is a jam very, very much. It is a jam packed when it comes to packed day when it comes to migration stories. Weve had a few there. The arrivals few of them there. The arrivals on the bibby stockholm barge potentially the potentially working with the germans stop germans to actually help stop the manufacture and the transportations boats transportations of small boats which time. The which is not before time. The use lack of Ascension Island use or lack of Ascension Island as Detention Centre for the as a Detention Centre for the Asylum Seekers and people clamping down now on companies who employ Illegal Migrants. Its all go. The sad bit is that none of it seems to be working. None of it seems to be working. No, its a tale as old as time. It seems really doesnt it . Was that was the first id heard of it. Your report on that said the lawyers had prevented people getting on the bibby stockholm and its utterly ridiculous that people are saying, oh, well, theyre traumatised sea. Traumatised by going to sea. Well, was it that decided to well, who was it that decided to go get to england in a go to sea to get to england in a very small, unsafe dinghy . Very small, very unsafe dinghy . Its hard to believe, and i its very hard to believe, and i dont really imagine those those, those those interventions will hold up in court because its utterly ridiculous. As as its utterly ridiculous. As as for everything else. Well, if its worrying in a way that government is going after the business of hiring Illegal Migrants because thats kind of a sign that maybe they think that they just cant stop the flow. Ultimately, yes, businesses shouldnt be hiring people where people if they dont know where theyre should theyre from. You know, should ask for the passport, ask for the driving whatever. The driving licence whatever. Maybe thats the sign of a government defeat. Well see. As for island, well , government defeat. Well see. As for island, well, in for Ascension Island, well, in principle, problem with that. Principle, no problem with that. But it would certainly be a little bit impractical , perhaps. Little bit impractical, perhaps. No , indeed. And i think no, indeed. And i think people have had enough. Now, thatis people have had enough. Now, that is why the idea of Ascension Island seems so appealing, doesnt it, really . Which is it would be a property terante the, you know, £1 million cost per migrant that Jacob Rees Mogg revealed was initially quoted out on this show is maybe getting to a point where people might think, well, hang on a minute. Is that worth it . How much does rwanda cost . Not happening at the moment. How much we giving the french . Much are we giving the french . How paying in hotel how much are we paying in hotel fees day . Many fees every single day . How many barges going to need to barges are we going to need to use . Actually, all it is really saying something when we might use . Actually, all it is really sayable;omething when we might use . Actually, all it is really sayable torething when we might use . Actually, all it is really sayable to haveig when we might use . Actually, all it is really sayable to have a when we might use . Actually, all it is really sayable to have a seriouse might be able to have a serious conversation whether £1 conversation about whether £1 million Ascension Island million per Ascension Island migrant is actually good migrant is actually quite good value the grand value for money in the grand scheme things . Scheme of things . Well, i mean, ultimately, if you put all those well, its over 50,000. I cant remember the number of head, all the tens of top of my head, all the tens of top of my head, all the tens of thousands migrant who are of thousands of migrant who are stuck the asylum backlog. I stuck in the asylum backlog. I think its 100,000 putting think its about 100,000 putting them all on ascension. That would be, course, an would be, of course, an incredible however maybe incredible cost. However maybe it could be made to work through some sort of, you know, lottery system, perhaps. So each boatload that over, 1 2 boatload that comes over, 1 or 2 of them threatened to go to of them are threatened to go to ascension. Then create ascension. Maybe then you create a sort of deterrent effect. But nevertheless, its not nevertheless, its probably not something do at something that you can do at scale to actually resolve the problem and create the sort of deterrence we need. Deterrence effect that we need. Thats really, key thats why really, rwanda is key , because even though a lot of people opposition do say people on the opposition do say that rwanda would only take a few migrants at time, few hundred migrants at a time, the government quite the government has been quite insistent that the rwandans are happy to take several thousands, which make which would of course make a Significant Impact on inflow Significant Impact on the inflow of people coming to britain. Indeed jeremy, thank you very much. Jeremy hudson there, who is, of course, researcher at course, the researcher at migration whizzing us migration watch uk whizzing us through a of through a heck of a lot of different immigration stories, all in one go. Loads more on those stories website. Those stories on our website. Gbnews. Com the Fastest Growing national in the National News website in the country. Got all the country. Its got all the best analysis , big opinion the analysis, big opinion and the latest breaking news. And now if you are lucky enough not to have had your bank account closed by natwest , the bank is now natwest, the bank is now limiting the amount of cash that people deposit and withdraw people can deposit and withdraw supposedly. Were going to supposedly. Well, were going to get stuck right into that very, very short because this feels like doesnt it . Like an affront, doesnt it . Its your money. Youve saved it. Youve earned it. You should have the right to be able to withdraw as much of that as possible. We possible. Whenever you want. We do not to kill cash here on do not want to kill cash here on gb Patrick Christys on gb gb news Patrick Christys on gb news, news channel right. Well, in just a few moments time, well be having a big debate on the old Ascension Island stuff and whether or not we should be sending Illegal Migrants there. And there is the cunous migrants there. And there is the curious tale of the pub in stoke on thats targeted on trent thats being targeted by activists for by Animal Rights activists for a completely bonkers reason. But gb is, of course, gb news is, of course, campaigned to the uk campaigned to stop the uk becoming Cashless Society. The becoming a Cashless Society. The campaign is called dont kill cash. Its very popular. We are already over 247,000 signatures on our petition , which means on our petition, which means that we are now 2500 away from our target of a quarter of a million. The petition is on our website , gbnews. Com forward website, gb news. Com forward slash website, gbnews. Com forward slash cash. If youve got a smartphone , use it. Click on the smartphone, use it. Click on the qr code right now on your screen and frankly, your phone basically does the rest. Gb news wants to tell our authorities dont kill cash, but if you need reminding of the importance of our campaign, here are two stories today that do just that. A London Council has sparked widespread anger by introducing higher Parking Charges for drivers who use cash instead of a mobile app. Shock horror. The lib dem run Sutton Council in south london has been accused of discriminate nation by the rac its increased Parking Charges for people who want to use cash. I wont be going live to the scene of that disgraceful car park very soon, but natwest. Yes, thats right. The park very soon, but natwest. Yes, thats right. The banking saga. Its granted itself. Natwest sweeping new powers to limit cash deposits and withdrawals. This move has withdrawals. This move has fuelled warnings that banks are forcing customers towards a Cashless Society and frankly , it Cashless Society and frankly, it feels that way, doesnt it . Im feels that way, doesnt it . Im joined now by our economics and Business Editor Liam Halligan with on the money. When you look with on the money. When you look at this story at face value, you think ive earned this money. Ive put it in the bank. I should have total say over whether or not i can go in and take all of that out whenever i want to. Now, banks have often had limits on the amount you can withdraw in one day, and you have to give notice about if you want to get like a big chunk of change out. If youre paying some builders or whatever it is you want to get hold of your cash quick. And i think thats reasonable all because you know , anti fraud people. You , its anti fraud people. You know, i think there should be some kind of check if youre if youre taking out 50 or 100 grand in cash. And theres also the practical limitations. But the practical limitations. But the that bat natwest are the rules that bat natwest are gradually rolling out, theyre gradually rolling out, theyre gradually rolling out this leaflet across their customers, some of whom have contacted us here at gb news. Thats how we know about this story. And now the telegraphs reported it as well. Its all off the back, really, of Nigel Farages campaign related not just to natwest but the major high natwest, but all the major high street banks sense theres street banks sense that theres been some de banking going on for political reasons. In natwest case, thats proven, of course, because of the legal documents which nigels lawyers managed to get out of natwest. But what we know now is that natwest is introducing some new rules and here they are, some of them up on a graphic. Patrick at them up on a graphic. Patrick at the moment, natwest have got £750 cash machine withdrawal limit. You may think thats fair enough. And theres a £20,000 withdrawal limit per day. If youre lucky enough to have that kind of money in your bank account unless you notify them in beforehand. But what we know now from this leaflet and emails that natwest have been sending their customers is that from september the 11th this year, there are going to be new rules. And thats despite fears about going cashless and opinion polls that are coming out. Now, theres one just at the weekend saying that the majority of saying that the vast majority of people want to be able to people still want to be able to be to pay cash. Want be able to pay cash. They want the of able to pay the choice of being able to pay cash they go into shops or cash when they go into shops or supermarkets cafes or supermarkets or cafes or whatever, particularly for older and Vulnerable People dont and Vulnerable People who dont have theres almost have smartphones. Theres almost 2 million people, in 2 million people, patrick, in this without bank this country without a bank account. Can they have account. So how can they have a debit card . Because theyve got a account or natwest a bank account or what natwest are now, and ive put are saying now, and ive put their statement up here. We may these about these are the new rules about these are the new rules about the new rules. We dont know the extent yet. We may apply the new rules. We dont know the extent very yet. We may apply the new rules. We dont know the extent very vague. We may apply the new rules. We dont know the extent very vague to ie may apply the new rules. We dont know the extent very vague to payments ly limits. Very vague to payments to and from your account, for example, to the amount of cash you withdraw or to you pay in or withdraw or to payment types or to payment types. That goes further than limits, right . That goes further than numerical limits where theres a high risk of fraud scams or other crimes. And of course, that risk will be determined by the bank rather than the customer. So there you have it in a rather elliptical language. George natwest are saying, we may exercise our discretion in terms of payment type as well as the amount. Type as well as the amount. Exactly. And also, if youre really putting it all in trust, if youre saying, right, look, we promise you we will we will always act responsibly. Im sorry, but that trust has been absolutely shattered the absolutely shattered by the recent Nigel Farages recent events of Nigel Farages bank account cetera. Trusting the necessarily act the banks to necessarily act ethically in your best interests and to not act and behave in a relatively sinister way. Its not going to happen necessarily i so why is hum so why is this happening . Patrick weve talked about it in the past, we should just the past, but we should just reiterate for viewers and listeners our listeners who havent signed our petition , though , almost petition yet, though, almost a quarter of a million of them have. Its this is happening because banks dont the because the banks dont like the costs of handling cash, because companies dont like the costs of handling cash and because very Big Tech Company 80s and maybe even the state, maybe even the taxman, they want to monitor absolutely everything that they do. Thats the suspicion. Thats do. Thats the suspicion. Thats the thats the suspicion. So and the thats the suspicion. So and just think of the cultural things. How about, you know, the tenorin things. How about, you know, the tenor in the Christmas Card . Right. How about how about tipping a waiter or a waitress and to make sure they and you want to make sure they get money slip them get that money so you slip them a fiver when youve had a really, really good service. How about those sort of cultural about all those sort of cultural norms busking . You know, all the all these reasons we need cash. So lets get this campaign. Absolutely up to the next level. Lets get above a quarter of a million signatures and then we can really hassle the government and parliament for a debate. Well, look, thats thats obviously one angle to this. Another of this, of another angle of this, of course, is the issue when it comes payments. Actually comes to payments. Actually physically yourself at places like car parks. Our National Reporter paul hawkins is at one of these car parks for us and who has actually been bringing us this story now about the fact that apparently they are going to be making you pay more or if you want to pay in cash, who are the big losers here is obviously the big losers here is obviously the elderly, isnt it . I would argue, anyway, walking out and about having to pay in cash and having to do a few bits and bobs there, fumbling with an on there, fumbling with an app on their mean. Yeah, their phone. I mean. Paul yeah, i think is a big example of i think this is a big example of the kind of stuff that weve been talking about. The kind of stuff that weve beeyeah,. Ing about. The kind of stuff that weve beeyeah, those out. The kind of stuff that weve beeyeah, those that have yeah, those that have sympathy with having pay , sympathy with having to pay, using an app and having to pay more that people that weve been asking here today, thats the first group that they cite is the elderly. Now in the the elderly. Now here in the london borough of sutton, were in since june. It in carshalton since june. It costs just to give you an example of the pricing for an hour using the app, hour, if you pay using the app, its going to cost you £2 an houn its going to cost you £2 an hour. If you pay cash , its £3 hour. If you pay cash, its £3 an hour. Now weve been talking to people here today and a lot of people have been saying thats thats disgraceful. A lot of people didnt even know about it of the signage. But it because of the signage. But well in just a well come to that in just a moment. But definitely one of the are cited are the groups that are cited are vulnerable groups, the elderly. And a lot of people saying that its indeed, its seemingly unfair. Indeed, the you mentioned, are the rac as you mentioned, are calling discriminatory. The calling it discriminatory. The reason it, reason the council are doing it, though, it costs too though, is because it costs too process and collect the change and theyve got recoup those and theyve got to recoup those costs. Weve been costs somewhere. Weve been speaking to the cabinet member for the borough of for the london borough of sutton, this is what told sutton, and this is what he told us and we collect cash from our car parks. We have send two people we have to send two people around to pick the money. Around to pick up the money. Weve to maintain, continue weve got to maintain, continue to maintain the car parking machines and sutton is machines and Sutton Council is actually the moment actually spending at the moment £36,000 maintaining £36,000 a year on maintaining our car parking machines. Yeah. So it does say here, but thats immediately but thats not immediately obvious. Other thing is obvious. And the other thing is the number that you can the phone number that you can use to pay by card is only down here in very small writing. And i thats really, really i think thats really, really reasonable. And someone else has pointed that out to me. And i think were going take that think were going to take that back going to make back and were going to make sure prominent so sure that its more prominent so that admission there from barry at the london borough of sutton basically saying , yeah, okay, we basically saying, yeah, okay, we admit that the signage is pretty poon admit that the signage is pretty poor. The its difficult to find the phone number to pay by card. So you can still get the discounted rate, but the phone number isnt very obvious. And also pricing here, also the pricing here, the little bit brackets beneath little bit in brackets beneath it discounted for it says discounted prices for those that use the app. Theyre also going to change that, but theyre moving on the two theyre not moving on the two tier pricing. They do say that they need to recoup this money somehow. And frankly, its a question Cashless Society question for a Cashless Society because transition towards because as we transition towards that going to be a that way, there is going to be a cost using cash and who is cost to using cash and who is going pay for that . Going to pay for that . Absolutely. Paul, thank you very, paul hawkins very, very much. Paul hawkins there. Reports just there. Our National Reports just emphasising kill cash emphasising why dont kill Cash Campaign is really important. Campaign is really so important. Well, few well, look, in just a few moments to ask whether moments i want to ask whether the government should press ahead to the government should press ahe. An to the government should press ahe. An island to the government should press ahe. An island in to the government should press ahe. An island in the to the government should press ahe.

Its that time of year when members of parliament have returned to their constituencies for the summer recess. Its no different for gb news very own Jacob Rees Mogg, the conservative member of parliament for north east somerset. Of he does somerset. But of course he does also have a gb show to also have a gb news show to present. So for this week only well hosting his programme. Well be hosting his programme. 8 00 pm state of the nation live from somerset. Now were told well be seeing lots of his local area, west harptree, a small village in the chew valley, not far from bath , with valley, not far from bath, with a population of just 380. I had anticipated to be honest that my career would have lasted a little bit longer before i started travel logs. But started doing travel logs. But there go. Weve also been there we go. Weve also been promised a private tour of his 17th century home. Includes a look, exclusive look at his look, an exclusive look at his home brewed somerset cider. Now were talking as well as a run through of some of his favourite household effects. Course , household effects. Of course, theres famous bust of pitt theres the famous bust of pitt , younger the tory prime , the younger the tory Prime Minister from early 19th minister from the early 19th century. Also told well century. Were also told well be seeing some cricket between jacob and his children, too, which is actually blooming lovely. Jacob rees mogg joins me lovely. Jacob rees mogg joins me now from somerset. Jacob, youre geanng now from somerset. Jacob, youre gearing up to do the show from 8 00 pm from your wonderful, wonderful setup there. Talk us through what we can expect. Well absolutely. And here i am in somerset and as i say, almost every evening the sun shines in somerset and its shining beautifully today. Its a perfect early evening here in gods own county. And ill be talking about the subject of the day today, and thatis subject of the day today, and that is migration and how you deal with it. The rwanda scheme. And the truth is that rwanda is by far and away the best opfion is by far and away the best option and needs to be pushed forward with. You see this forward with. And you see this today with the news report that even are getting even now lawyers are getting involved simply to stop people going on a barge and weve got to get a grip on this. So that decisions can be made and administrative choices implemented without the lefty lawyers obstructing them the whole time. Yeah, just on those lawyers, jacob, weve seen recently lawyers overtly on camera taking cash in hand to completely make up asylum claims as were seeing things like Asylum Seekers now who are in hotels allegedly claiming that theyve suffered previous trauma trauma at sea. Theyve got some form of disability, so they cant go on the barge. I mean, this smacks to me of the Legal Profession getting involved and potentially even making things up in order to stop this is it time for a full scale investigation of elements of our immigration legal system . Well i think legal system . Well i think thats a very good point. I thought the daily mails expose of the lawyers who were sajid testing how to fill out the forms were giving sort of template arguments for how you manage to get asylum in this country was really, really serious. And when we talk about lawyers abusing the system and mock them by calling them lefty lawyers , this isnt just lawyers, this isnt just political back and forth. This political back and forth. This is part of a real problem that has stopped this government and indeed previous governments getting to grips with the asylum problem. And we have to get to gnps problem. And we have to get to grips with it because tens of thousands of people every year are taking threatening are taking life threatening journeys over channel journeys over the channel supporting illegal people smugglers is something that we need to stop. Well indeed. And you know, every single thing thats being tried at the moment is unfortunately being blocked. And i think it is more blocked. And i think it is more a case of being blocked than not working. A lot of these things, working. A lot of these things, i think if theyd have been implemented straight away, as indeed intended to, indeed they were intended to, may had some benefit indeed they were intended to, manow. Had some benefit indeed they were intended to, manow. Of had some benefit indeed they were intended to, ma now. Of coursed some benefit indeed they were intended to, ma now. Of course , some benefit indeed they were intended to, ma now. Of course , the|e benefit indeed they were intended to, ma now. Of course , the labourfit by now. Of course, the labour party saying that they will continue use barges or continue to use barges or theyll be theyll be literally if do , would literally if they do, they would literally be policy , be opposing their own policy, wouldnt which is wouldnt they . Which is remarkable. Jacob, look remarkable. But jacob, i look forward look forward forward to your i look forward to your show at 8 00pm this evening, as indeed does the nafion evening, as indeed does the nation. And i will be there with nation. And i will be there with my popcorn for a tour of my popcorn for a guided tour of your wonderful, wonderful abode there as Jacob Rees Mogg with state of the nation at 8 pm. It might need to spread that tour of his massive 17th century gaff over entire week, because over the entire week, because i think you could do six rooms a day, couldnt you . But there we are. Good him. Now a senior are. Good for him. Now a Senior Source has told us that plans to send migrants to the Ascension Island the sky. But island are pie in the sky. But is it time for the government to do can make it do all they can to make it happen . I do all they can to make it happen . I would ask the question if proposals being if the proposals are being turned down because of cost, how can i be even more expensive than what is happening right now given that what is happening right going to stop right now isnt going to stop anytime Patrick Christys anytime soon . Patrick christys on news britains channel okay , so could a british okay, so could a british territory 4000 miles away hold the key to solving our migrant problem . The government could send Asylum Seekers to Ascension Island if the rwanda plan falls through. Apparently supreme through. Apparently Supreme Court will rule later this year on whether migrants can be sent to rwanda. But a Senior Source has told gb news that any plans to use ascension for processing are in the and are pie in the sky and unachievable because they looked at but costed it up. At it before but costed it up. And apparently it isnt going to work. But joining me now is Border Control expert henry bolton rights lawyer bolton and human rights lawyer shoaib ill start shoaib khan. Henry ill start with ascension is actually with you, ascension is actually a deterrent, isnt it . A deterrent, isnt it . By patrick yes, it would be. Itend by patrick yes, it would be. I tend to agree that logistically and financially , logistically and financially, its probably incredibly expensive in resources and in treasure, if you like. But i treasure, if you like. But i think these sort of places have a role. Its more not so much the location it is whether or where it fits into the entire process. There are really three things that need to happen here. One, we need to reduce the flow , ideally stop it. Secondly we need to be able to sort of we need to be able to sort of we need to be able to sort of we need to resource and properly organise the process of assessment and returns. And then thirdly , we need to be able to thirdly, we need to be able to accommodate the people who are being processed in an appropriate manner. Now this is probably going to start a bit of a discussion now with with our colleague whos joined us. But the United Nations Refugee Convention does allow for the secure detention of people who have claimed asylum, having entered or crossed a border unlawfully. Border unlawfully. And that gives some authority here to put people in in in camps that are built for the purpose. Now, the problem weve got at the moment is all of our accommodation is being dealt with ad hoc hotels, barges , with ad hoc hotels, barges, islands around the place. There islands around the place. There is no strategic , coherent plan is no strategic, coherent plan here which puts these these things in part of the process. And thats a problem. And thats a problem. All right, shoaib, ill let you come back to that. Now, shoaib khan is a human rights lawyer. Yeah yeah. Yeah. So, i mean, obviously , i so, i mean, obviously, i mean, you know, the people who actually rejected Ascension Island were priti patel and bofis island were priti patel and Boris Johnson. So now for Suella Braverman and rishi sunak and others to be suggesting it might be workable, i think its quite ridiculous. I mean, usual, its just mean, as usual, its just gimmick is just sloganeering. Itsjust, gimmick is just sloganeering. Its just, you know, pretty adding that they have some idea of what to do and they have some idea of the scale of the problem. Of course they dont. I mean, its complete rubbish. I think its a very nonsensical idea. Obviously i mean, you know, terms finances, in know, in terms of finances, in terms of the resources and obviously, you know, thats leaving humanitarian leaving aside the humanitarian point of view, think its point of view, i think its completely unworkable. And like i always say and like people say, main is these say, the main thing is these people are our responsibility. So, instance, like, know so, for instance, like, you know , obviously we just last , obviously we had just last year , you know, the past 18 year, you know, in the past 18 months, hundreds of thousands of ukrainians , you know, around the ukrainians, you know, around the world who were settled and integrated societies. So integrated into societies. So would we be happy to send ukrainians to the Ascension Island . Then why not . Island . If not, then why not . What is the difference . And obviously, i can i can obviously, can i can i can i just hit asylum a little bit . Im just going to come back a little bit on that show. So because i would say that the difference is, is that there is actually a war on in ukraine. These people are genuine refugees invited refugees and we invited them in. And a of them happen to and also a lot of them happen to be women and children. So, i mean, are there there mean, there are there are there are quite of differences. Are quite a lot of differences. I henry, what ive said i mean, henry, what ive said there is that are our there is that they are our responsibility, these people. I would that it yeah, but i would say that it is absolutely for not lawyers to decide opinion in decide or have an opinion in terms of their profession and decide or have an opinion in termzrole their profession and decide or have an opinion in termzrole in ir profession and decide or have an opinion in termzrole in thisofession and decide or have an opinion in termzrole in this asssion and decide or have an opinion in termzrole in this as to on and decide or have an opinion in termzrole in this as to whether their role in this as to whether or this is workable. It is or not this is workable. It is not for them anybody else to not for them or anybody else to say whether workable or say whether it is workable or not. We all have opinions not. Yes, we all have opinions about but role as about that, but in their role as lawyers is not their job. The job of the government is to make things to develop things workable, to develop policy, to laws and to policy, to pass laws and to implement them. Now thats thats an interesting point, though, because showing to be to be fair. All right, shoaib, i mean, to be fair , its all very well and be fair, its all very well and good, henry saying you know, its its your job to its not its not your job to decide somethings workable. Decide if somethings workable. I it is your job to i suppose it is yourjob to decide somethings legal. Decide if somethings legal. Well, and yes, exactly. Well, yes and yes, exactly. And thats the thing. I mean, obviously, if something isnt like with rwanda, why was it found unlawful . Because its not workable because they dont have the infrastructure there, because people have been abused there in the past, because there is a chance, because of the situation in rwanda, that people will be abused. Mean, will be abused. I mean, obviously, you know, theres nothing says you nothing in law that says you cant them what it cant take them there. What it says is whatever arrangements cant take them there. What it says is make ver arrangements cant take them there. What it says is make haverrangements cant take them there. What it says is make have to 1gements cant take them there. What it says is make have to be ments cant take them there. What it says is make have to be fair, ts you do make have to be fair, have just have to be have to be just have to be humane, have to workable. So humane, have to be workable. So that is, in fact, part the that is, in fact, part of the law. I that. Law. I get that. But but the thing is that but but but the thing is that ive ive got to pick you up because thats not why it was found. Yeah, not why the found. Yeah, thats not why the rwanda was delayed, rwanda scheme was delayed, though. Because we though. It was because we couldnt absolutely couldnt 100 absolutely guarantee that if somebody was sent there that they would sent over there that they would be granted asylum and not returned to a country where they faced persecution. But we cant faced persecution. But we cant guarantee that anyway. We cant guarantee that anyway. We cant guarantee that anyway. We cant guarantee that anywhere other than if its just our own judges in our own country doing it. But we can lay some provisions to stop that happening. But look, guys, thank you very, very much. We are bit bit short on time. We are a bit bit short on time. Were to going have knock were to going have to knock it on head. Thats henry on the head. But thats henry bolton there. Border control expert and human rights lawyer, shoaib khan. Yeah, look interesting to end this show interesting way to end this show and started the show it and we first started the show it looked though essentially looked as though essentially islands then we got looked as though essentially issenior then we got looked as though essentially is Senior Source then we got looked as though essentially isSenior Source gettingan we got looked as though essentially isSenior Source getting in we got looked as though essentially isSenior Source getting in toucht a Senior Source getting in touch with home and security with our home and security editor actually, editor saying, actually, we did try a years ago, which try this a few years ago, which we knew. But the outline, we all knew. But the outline, the exact cost of it. And so apparently its a of apparently its just a load of hot dare i say, to distract hot air. Dare i say, to distract from the omnishambles that is our Border Control system at the moment. Michelle dewberry joins me omni me now with dewbs co omni shambles, it . Shambles, isnt it .

You just well, why dont you just involve the armed forces now . Surely youve surely you can protect, you know, if this was an actual war, you would be able to territory. So to defend your territory. So its beyond the wit man its not beyond the wit of man to be able to stop people doing this journey, surely, gosh, its so as well we to so much as well that we need to get into tonight that story, of course. Is time . Richard course. But is it time . Richard branson, that i love, is branson, a man that i love, is fabulous. Basically fabulous. He says basically millions people use drugs. Millions of people use drugs. The politicians arent got the chops able to admit that. Chops to be able to admit that. And time now radical and is it time now for radical reform . You want reform . Let people, if you want to drugs, just crack on. To take drugs, just crack on. Im about that. Well, yeah. Do you see what i did there . Yeah, exactly. There may be meth.

Those drugs in the first place . Thats to ask thats what i want to ask tonight. Religion is the tonight. And religion is the fact were not religious. This is that kind of one of the roots of of societal ills. I actually think it could well be religious. I i am religious. I dont force it on others. You know, i dont go door knocking. But do you go to church and stuff . I go, i pray every day. Do you and yeah, i do. I dont really mind admitting that thats be thats not something to be ashamed, but would ashamed, but no, but why would you mind . Ashamed, but no, but why would youwhyd . Ashamed, but no, but why would youwhy would. Why would anyone why would. Why would anyone be ashamed of their religion . Yeah know. Yeah i know, i know. I think are not as but i think we are not as pushy about it as possibly pushy about it as we possibly could be this country. And could be in this country. And i think it undermines the moral fabnc think it undermines the moral fabric society. Fabric of society.

Boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on it is not escape my notice that actually all of this talk is about what do we do with people once they are here . Has our government given up on the actual task of stopping people trying to reach this country in the first place . And i also want to talk to you a deep and meaningful religion. Fewer of us than ever before now follow a religion , particularly when it religion, particularly when it comes things like christian comes to things like christian unity. I cant help but notice, as country does as well that this country does seem be in of a mess. Seem to be in a bit of a mess. Is there a link the two . Is there a link between the two . If you dont have that central religious focus . Does it lead to religious focus . Does it lead to potential carnage elsewhere . And richard branson, a man i massively admire. He says
