So later today , the home so later today, the home secretary will make a speech in washington calling on the Un Refugee Convention to be ripped up and rewritten. Ian, for up and rewritten. Ian, for todays modern times. Todays modern times. Well, last year, Suella Braverman called for the uk to leave the European Convention on human rights, and today shell state her views on the sustainability of the current refugee policies. Her view is refugee policies. Her view is that were living in a different time and that a Major Overhaul now is due. Well, in the speech that we have seen , the home secretary have seen, the home secretary will say we cant sustain the Current System that allows refuge based on just fears of discrimination. Ian, shes going discrimination. Ian, shes going to say the status quo, where people are able to travel through multiple safe countries and even reside in safe countries for years while they pick their preferred destination in is absurd. And unsustainable i well, joining us this morning is the deputy Political Editor tom harwood. Good morning to tom harwood. Good morning to you. Tom this is a speech that will be given to a right wing think tank in washington. So shes likely to get probably a warm reception there. How controversial , though, in an controversial, though, in an international light, i suppose, are some of these comments, do you think. 7 it certainly a bold you think . It certainly a bold move. Move. Of course, this convention has been signed up to by the vast majority of countries for more than 70 years, since 1951, of course, was the date after the Second World War when countries came together to put this Refugee Convention together , either to help those who are stuck in countries where they are physically unsafe. And the are physically unsafe. And the home secretary will today be saying that it was a noble aim, that original convention. However, the way that the Global Oil Situation has changed has meant that this is now unsustainable will, in her view , too. Shell cite some Research Done by the centre for policy studies that points to over 700 million, almost 780 Million People now qualify to be able to move countries under this convention, saying that that wasnt in the scope of what was imagined back when this was drafted. Thats the home secretarys view. But certainly this will be a controversial speech to many because the United Kingdom was one of the founding signatures to this treaty. And indeed it has governed the way that people can move about international me for a long time. Its yet to be seen a long time. Its yet to be seen whether an International Consensus can be built around reforming this treaty, around updating this treaty. We havent yet heard from other countries in terms of what they make of what the home secretary is expected to say , because after expected to say, because after all, this isnt something that the United Kingdom can do unilaterally to change this treaty. The home secretary will need to make many friends overseas, and i suppose there will be claims probably from the labour party this morning that this is trying to distract from the fact that actually her own problems at home are not working so far, still havent got anybody on the bibby stockholm barge still havent sent anybody to rwanda and continuing to see huge numbers of illegal crossings across the channel thats right. The labour party line ahead of the speech is that the home secretary is failing to control the asylum system as it currently stands and should be looking to fix things here in this country before going off to washington dc and trying to change a 70 year old convention. However, of course, the home secretary points to the fact that this convention has meant that this convention has meant that there is an oppressive, tented movement of people and the right of people to move from an original country where they feel persecuted to another country, perhaps another one after that, and shop around many years after theyve left that original unsafe country to find the safe country of the destination that they want to end up in. Shell say that that is not how this should work and that this is almost a shopping around for a huge number for many hundreds of millions of people , potentially. The home people, potentially. The home secretary will say that no asylum system could cope under that sort of strain. Thanks tom. That sort of strain. Thanks tom. Thank you very much indeed. Your views, of course, are always welcome on this. A big controversial issue. A keynote controversial issue. A keynote speech from the home secretary today, gb a gbnews. Com.

The comedian posted a forward. The comedian posted a video onto his rumble feed last night, claiming there is a conspiracy against him. Obviously its been an extraordinary and distressing week and i thank you very much for your support and for questioning the information that youve been presented with by now. Youre probably aware that the British Government have asked big tech platforms to censor our online content and that some Online Platforms have complied with that request. Complied with that request. Well, you may not know. Is that this happens in the context of the Online Safety bill, which is a piece of uk legislation that grants sweeping surveillance and censorship powers. And its a law that has already been passed i well, joining us this morning is the gb news london reporter lisa hartle. And look, hes trying to get on the front foot, isnt he, at the moment, there have been no charges brought, but the metropolitan police now having officially launched an investigation. Investigation. Yeah, the met say that theyre investigating a number of Sexual Assault claims in london and other parts of the uk, describing them all as non recent. And this , of course, non recent. And this, of course, comes after that joint investigation by the times , the investigation by the times, the sunday times and channel fours Dispatches Programme, which found which had included four women that made claims of Sexual Assault and rape. And police say assault and rape. And police say there have, as you said, been no arrests made and enquiries continue. Now that video that Russell Brand post on social media criticised the nMps Committee for asking other social media platforms to demonetise him. That comes after platforms such as youtube stopped him from being able to make money through advertising, and he has millions and millions of views on social media. He called it a bypassing of judicial process and suggested there was a concerted agassi to silence him. Now detective superintendent andy furphy from the mets central Specialist Crime command said we continue to encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of sexual offence no matter how long ago it was to contact us. We understand it can feel like a difficult step to take, and i want to reassure that we have a team of specialist officers available all to advise and support. And of course, russell support.
