Andrew well, its labours most important conference for many years, but its been totally overshadowed by the hamas attacks on israel. Im delighted to say joining me the studio is the me in the studio is the governments independent adviser on mann. On anti semitism, lord mann. Lord 58th anniversary of lord mann, 58th anniversary of the yom kippur war. This is the biggest Security Breach of israels borders in 50 years. First of all, how on earth did it happen . And where on earth is this going to end . Well i think how did it happen . Im sure heads will roll, but thats thats something for the future. Sure you know who was asleep on the job . Et cetera. Asleep on the job . Et cetera. But it did happen. And its the biggest single issue in this conflict in our lifetime. Thats how serious it is. And the how serious it is. And the brutality and the random brutality and the random brutality of whats happened. I think the fact that were in the mobile phone era where people have gloried with with the most horrific video shows of themselves murdering and raping people , any decent person would people, any decent person would be shocked by that, horrified. Be shocked by that, horrified. And the view i imagine, if happened to our country here, the country would have been riotous turmoil of wanting revenge. Yeah thats revenge is dangerous. But and there are included british citizens kidnapped young children. Two, three, four year olds kidnapped. This is beyond anything. And this is beyond anything. And hamas is a terrorist organisation. Officially yeah. Backed by the European Union. Britain, america in law. Britain, america in law. Yeah. As is hezbollah, whove weighed in and tried to wane from the north from lebanon. And from the north from lebanon. And this is an attack on our values in many ways , an attack on us. In many ways, an attack on us. Its an attack on democracy and it has to be resisted at every level. And. The one thing the level. And. The one thing the two things that have encouraged me in all this horror, the first is not surprising. There has is not surprising. There has been unity across the political spectrum in the uk. Sure, the whole political spectrum. Yeah. This isnt a question of argument and thats what i expected, but thats i can report to you that is the case. Yeah id be horrified. Othennise the other just a little snippet. Fascinating. The protests at the iranian football match. So significant numbers protesting when they put up the palestinian flag. Its not the first time in iran there have been workers, protests against their support for hamas in the past and big ones that that broke out as well yesterday. And i think across the world, people are saying this is beyond anything in our comprehension and whats going to be done about the hostages . Well, a massive problem for the world. This is its mediaeval savagery. We agree on that. We know iran is involved. And so america is sending warships to behind it. I mean, iran is behind it. I mean, iran is behind it. And funding it. It has the potential to become a well, its already a major flashpoint lord man. But what can britain what can the United States what can the United Nations do here . Well, they need to be working together. I think there are there are a lot of forces. I there are a lot of forces. I mean, the timing of this, i think the without question, the fact that the there was going to be a saudi israel accord , i be a saudi israel accord, i think peace deal might be overstretching what it was going to be. But an accord and a major change is a factor. And iran would have wanted to destabilise that. It does want to destabilise that. So youve got the saudis, youve gulf states, youve got the gulf states, morocco, as well, whove reached an accord with israel in recent times. So that situation is very different and the vast majority of the world and World Leaders and world powers are aghast at this. So and world powers are aghast at this. So hamas have and world powers are aghast at this. So hamas have isolated this. So hamas have isolated themselves. But i mean, hamas themselves. But i mean, hamas have to be destroyed as an organisation , as an entity. Organisation, as an entity. When you say destroyed , do when you say destroyed, do you mean militarily . Well , thats going to happen well, thats going to happen one way or other. You know , one way or other. You know, hamas do not represent anything other than war. But they are but they are in control in the gaza and these attacks from the gaza have to stop. You know, these weve kind of been a little blase with rocket attacks. Repeat rapidly at sevilla tions in israel and perhaps because the israelis have got a very effective defence system and manage to inter cept virtually every rocket , i think weve all become rocket, i think weve all become a little blase. These attacks random indiscriminate attacks on civilians by hamas have been a regular thing for many years. This simply takes it to a new and a barbarous level and the most horrific. Most horrific. Israel is one of the most sophisticated military fighting machines. Lord man. So they can machines. Lord man. So they can surely target their response on military , on on the hamas military, on on the hamas fighters rather than on innocent civilians. Correct. And thats what correct. And thats what would be appropriate. It and would be appropriate. It and that will be difficult. But the that will be difficult. But the more effective and Effective Response to this is not a random aised respe response. Its a very precise response. And its very precise response. And its not to attack the past indian people. Its to take out hamas and the hamas leaders and, you know, the arab states can assist in this. The pressure to break in this. The pressure to break hamas has to be worldwide and it has to incorporate key players in the middle east, the hostages change everything in one sense, lord man, because they are grandmas to children. We saw the terrible scenes at the massacre at the rave that is going to put enormous pressure on western governments to do deals behind the scenes to get those hostages out. Should they do deals if necessary . Well , look, weve got german, well, look, weve got german, weve got american, weve got british hostages in other countries, including Asian Countries, including Asian Countries as well , appear to countries as well, appear to have hostages. So this is a un crisis. I have hostages. So this is a un crisis. I think that have hostages. So this is a un crisis. I think that the have hostages. So this is a un crisis. I think that the big world powers will be all over this deals, not deals. Release this deals, not deals. Release the release of these children and grandmothers and the release of them unharmed. You know, this of them unharmed. You know, this is also an issue for the Palestinian Authority. I mean , Palestinian Authority. I mean, whats the point of a Palestinian Authority . Where are Palestinian Authority . Where are they if, if they are not in the middle of sorting out the hostage crisis . Youve been a veteran observer of the middle east. Whats been going on between gaza and hamas and israel . Because i can tell if im just talking even you are shocked by whats happened this time. Whats happened this time. I mean, this is bloodcurdling. These are these are people these people are families. You know, they have relatives in the uk. Some of them, you know, this is our problem as well as israels problem. And you know, when two year old children are kidnapped , you know, that is not some kind of Liberation Force , you kind of Liberation Force, you know, that is straightfonnard , know, that is straightfonnard, brutal terrorist murderers ,. No brutal terrorist murderers,. No argument , no brutal terrorist murderers,. No argument, no discussion and parading mutilated bodies for the benefit of social media. And that shows us the depravity and collapse that hamas has created. Its not a political organisation. Its a Terror Organisation. Its a Terror Organisation in the way that is Islamic Jihad and al qaeda and has to be treated as such. And the state of iran being opposed by its own people , rigging its by its own people, rigging its elections to stay in power. You know, the people of iran are protesting and protesting at the moment against this. You know, moment against this. You know, the ayatollahs are the masterminds behind that. Well, masterminds behind that. Well, irans part of the process. The irans part of the process. The world needs to turn its attention on iran. How relieved are you as you were at the labour Party Conference, you were a Labour Party Member years, party member for many years, labour mp for many years. If Jeremy Corbyn had still been the leader of the labour party, he still labour still a member of the labour party. A lot of people get confused. Hes no longer in the parliament party, but Parliament Labour party, but hes of hes still a member of the labour repeatedly labour party. Repeatedly questioned outside this Conference Centre yesterday because forgot to Conference Centre yesterday bec his 5 forgot to Conference Centre yesterday bec his accreditation forgot to Conference Centre yesterday bec his accreditation request o get his accreditation request in, refused to point blank condemn in the savagery of hamas i well, this equivocation by corbyn is not new and you know, the equivocation impacted on this country directly. When i last came to this conference in liverpool in 2018, i had to i had to have police. I remember i had to have police. I remember i had to have the police because there were specific threats from corbyn ites to me, violent threats and the police were involved. So i came here with involved. So i came here with police assistance. Thats coming to this conference. Thankfully this is a different world now. And here, i mean, i ive been repeatedly stopped by people i dont know, a young people thanking me for taking a stance against anti semitism, people ive never met before in this conference. But is young people is very encouraging. This this one of the things we can take some comfort for is the corbynites are so out on a limb of irrelevance. Theyre out of of irrelevance. Theyre out of the labour party and labour. Corbyn isnt. And im going to ask you should, should, should keir starmer. Now stop messing about. Stop dithering and expel this terrible man from the labour. Dont expect corbyn to be i dont expect corbyn to be in the party much longer in the labour party much longer. I mean, hes finished this week. Corbyn finished week. Corbyn corbyn is finished in party. Hes. Hes in the labour party. Hes. Hes yesterday hes an irrelevance in the labour party. Doesnt want corbyn and his equivocation on hamas says it all. The response of any decent person in is to want peace , is to want justice want peace, is to want justice is to want this brutality to be stopped and condemned. Where was corbyn in saying anything about these hostages . Nothing i mean, these hostages . Nothing i mean, the man, you know, be honoured beyond contempt, but. But. The man, you know, be honoured beyond contempt, but. But. But the labor party now, as with all the labor party now, as with all the main parties in this country , with the government , he stood , with the government, he stood united. That is a message from britain. Our political leaders across the spectrum are united and we stand with israel at this time and we stand with democracy at this time. Were appalled, horrified , and we want to see horrified, and we want to see hamas broken. Indeed, we do. Thats lord man.

Now, back governments plan back home, the governments plan to seekers to to deport Asylum Seekers to rwanda is set to rwanda for processing is set to be challenged supreme be challenged in the Supreme Court from they will court from today. They will argue the ruling that argue against the ruling that the deport migrants to the policy to deport migrants to rwanda as ministers rwanda is unlawful, as ministers struggle rishi sunaks struggle to achieve rishi sunaks pledge. Our pledge to stop the boats. Our reporter ray addison has all the details. Details. 14th of june 2022, an all eyes are glued to live coverage of a plane sat idling on the runway at boscombe down military base in wiltshire. The boeing 767 was scheduled to fly the first group of migrants to kigali , the capital city of kigali, the capital city of rwanda. But as the evening drew rwanda. But as the evening drew on, it became clear that the plane and the migrants were going nowhere. Legal challenges going nowhere. Legal challenges include one from the European Court of human rights, meant the small number of passengers had now been whittled down to nothing. It was an embarrassing nothing. It was an embarrassing blow for then Prime Minister bofis blow for then Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his home secretary, priti patel, who dreamt up the scheme to stop Channel Crossings the legal world is very good at picking up ways of trying to stop the government. Since then , flights have been since then, flights have been on hold as legal challenges progress through the courts. But progress through the courts. But the rwanda policy has not been shelved with first. Liz truss. Were also taking Decisive Action by strengthening our borders and beefing up our borders and beefing up our border force and expanding the rwanda scheme. Then rishi sunak rwanda scheme. Then rishi sunak giving the scheme their full support. We will pass new laws to stop small boats making sure that if you come to this country illegally, you are detained and swiftly removed. Swiftly removed. On the 19th of december last yean on the 19th of december last year, there was some good news for the government when the High Court Ruled that the plan was lawful. However, that decision was overturned six months later when appeal court judges decided there was a real risk rwanda could send migrants back to their home countries. What the court today has found is that rwanda is indeed not a safe country. People who were seeking asylum in this country would be at real risk had they been put on a plane to rwanda morning. But the government has refused to scrap the policy. Refused to scrap the policy. Priti patels replacement , priti patels replacement, Suella Braverman, introduced the illegal migration act, making it an actual duty for the government to deport Asylum Seekers who enter the uk illegally. Illegally. I would love to be having a front page of the telegraph with a fly, a plane taking off to rwanda. Thats my dream. Rwanda. Thats my dream. Now. Today marks the beginning of the end of this slow legal process. A three day slow legal process. A three day Supreme Court hearing in which the government will argue only it has the expertise to determine if rwanda is safe. If, determine if rwanda is safe. If, although a decision is not expected until the end of the yean expected until the end of the year, rishi sunak has already indicated that if they win, hell ignore any further migrant appeals and injunctions from the echr. All of which mean the next flight might actually leave the runway. And that is when the runway. And that is when the true test would begin. If the boats keep coming. The last three years will have been for nothing and the rwanda policy will have turned out to be a tory flight of fancy ray addison. Gb news. Oh, fascinating film there by charlie woods. Now, sacha lord is a is the night time economy advisor for the Greater Manchester mayor, andy burnham , manchester mayor, andy burnham, and he joins me now in the studio. Andy, sorry, sacha , you studio. Andy, sorry, sacha, you have been campaigning for a cut in vat for the hospitality and tourism sectors here at the conference. You did the same at the tory conference last week. Youre going to have more joy here. Do you think, as we have got Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, speaking in a couple of hours . Know what . I met some do you know what . I met some of the shadow cabinet ministers yesterday. Andrew and it felt quite encouraging. They are listening something listening and thats something that government that the current government havent this havent been doing at all. This is me asking for this, is not just me asking for this, its the entire industry. So this is operators and trade bodies were calling for this bodies were all calling for this one and fair play. What one thing and fair play. What the government did when they reduced to 5. Reduced vat to 5. And then during the pandemic , during pandemic, that , during the pandemic, that saved businesses and saved many, many businesses and many. Many jobs. The problem was they ramped it in such a it back up to 20 in such a short period , just six months. Short period, just six months. And when you compare the to and when you compare the uk to europe , the average is 8 to 9. Europe, the average is 8 to 9. So this one single mechanism that if labour were to form the next government, if they could introduce this at 12. 5, that would save business lives and jobs, especially those smaller family independent ones which in part of your industry would be most affected . Is it pubs and restaurants or pubs, restaurants, bars and you know, there will be people watching this to say, well, you know, its not a blank cheque. Know, its not a blank cheque. Were not asking for any money. I think this is money. And i think this is probably on whole probably on the whole self funded. My main argument self funded. My main argument is, look , 12. 5 of something is is, look, 12. 5 of something is much better than 20 of nothing, which is a shut business. And we are seeing at the moment that every single day two pubs are closing. Going to ask you how im just going to ask you how many pubs are closing and how many pubs are closing and how many would stop in many would this stop closing, in your view . Many would this stop closing, in youwell,v . Many would this stop closing, in youwell, weve lost just under well, weve lost just under 5000 licenced premises in the last decimating. Last month. Its decimating. British of life. Its a british way of life. The pub, pub. The pub, the pub. Exactly. You know, and its not just about going to have a pint. Socialising , its pint. Its socialising, its meeting your mates. It is, you know, grandad to go know, my grandad used to go after work. After work. What about old grandpa with his ale that hes his pint of brown ale that hes there two and a half, two there for two and a half, two hours and he has 2. 5 hours. Yeah. Not for the yeah. Not not great for the business, but, but the governor of the pub hes okay then. Of the pub knows hes okay then. Exactly. Thats it. Of the pub knows hes okay then. Eanne thats it. Of the pub knows hes okay then. Eanne of ats it. Of the pub knows hes okay then. Exa one of the, it. Of the pub knows hes okay then. Eanne of the, the tory one of the, the tory conference i remember you caused huge irritation to the tory leadership job of all of us is to cause irritation to all political leadership. In my view , this constant , because you have this constant running film video running above the Conference Centre. What was that saying the Conference Centre. What was tha so |ying the Conference Centre. What was tha so during that whole period , so during that whole period, as well as the night time economy adviser for Greater Manchester, two manchester, i have two businesses. Parklife businesses. I have parklife festival and i have the warehouse project. So parklife festival there are 4500 people dunng festival there are 4500 people during that weekend that work behind scenes. Vast behind the scenes. The vast majority of those are freelancers. So if you think about people that do about the people that do the staging, the sound staging, the crew, the sound engineers, were part of 3. 8 engineers, they were part of 3. 8 Million People that rebranded themselves the excluded. They got no support whatsoever from the government and theyve been paying the government and theyve been paying their taxes and those people have lost their homes, lost their marriages. Sadly, 32 people that we know of took their own lives during that period. They couldnt cope with it. They fell between stools, they fell between two stools, didnt the government didnt they . And the government was to from people was deaf to pleas from people like sort it out. So this like you to sort it out. So this was a reminder and it rang consistently through the whole thing went viral. It had 3 million views and it sent a strong message today in her speech. Her speech. Rachel reeves shes going to talk. I Rachel Reeves shes going to talk. I think it sounds like a stupid gimmick. Not the first time done time a politician has done a stupid gimmick on either side of the political divide. Shes talking to get back talking about a tsar to get back some of the money that was lost in fraud during the pandemic. Now, we know billions went missing. How azars going to do it. Was lot of fraud it. But there was a lot of fraud of some of chancellors very of some of the chancellors very generous wasnt there . Generous schemes, wasnt there . You know, its a phenomenal you know, its incredible. I dont to incredible. I dont want to mention we know of incredible. I dont want to me|woman we know of incredible. I dont want to me|woman that we know of incredible. I dont want to me|woman that got we know of incredible. I dont want to me|woman that got 220 know of incredible. I dont want to me|woman that got 220 million. 1 1 woman that got 220 million. Shes yachting around the world. How is that right . I know, i know. So do you think that by by i mean, i think its a gimmick, never its a gimmick, but never tapping into a resentment and a fury isnt it a very a fury isnt it . It was a very a lot money. Noble as it was lot of money. Noble as it was furlough and all the rest of it, so much went astray and its never come back. Never back. We its never come back. And we know vip lanes. So i know about the vip lanes. So i think it was a very smart decision. Id like to think its not a gimmicky thing. Id like to see it followed through because certainly people made tens of millions during that penod tens of millions during that period just in 30s. You worked closely with andy burnham, mayor of burnham, the great mayor of greater think burnham, the great mayor of grheer think burnham, the great mayor of grhe was think burnham, the great mayor of grhe was the think burnham, the great mayor of grhe was the labour think burnham, the great mayor of grhe was the labour leader, think if he was the labour leader, labour would much further labour would be much further ahead opinion polls .

Shadow financial secretary to the treasury james murray told gb news how labour plan to tackle the small boats crisis. Crisis. Theyve had 13 years. The problem has got worse and they havent got an actual plan that would help stop these illegal boat crossings. And what we set out is how we would do that differently and how we would use the rather than wasting it the money rather than wasting it on the rwanda we would on the rwanda scheme. We would spend a cross spend that money on a cross border force make sure Border Police force to make sure we go after the criminal we could go after the criminal gangs who were responsible for these crossings and these illegal boat crossings and stop them happening in first place.

This is gb news across the uk on tv in your car , on Digital Radio tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news now its back to. Bev back to. Bev good morning. Thanks for joining us. Now more than a thousand people are believed to have been killed on both sides of israeli hamas fighting. Of the israeli hamas fighting. Its escalation in its the largest escalation in decades israel officially decades as israel officially declares war. Israel continues to retaliate with a heavy bombardment of gaza , but hamas bombardment of gaza, but hamas has continued to fire more rockets overnight. Joining me now to discuss this is gb news Investigative Reporter Charlie Peters. Charlie good morning. So peters. Charlie good morning. So shocking to see these images on saturday, not least because of the number of civilian casualties is being attacked over the last three days. Were in day three now. Its been a very fast moving situation. What very fast moving situation. What is the very latest . Well its no doubt that the Israeli Security establishment was caught completely off guard on saturday. Both shin bet and mossad , the both shin bet and mossad, the israeli versions of m15 and m16, are very aware that i think that they were not able to track these attacks. All of the Intelligence Surveillance and the reconnaissance assets that you would expect them to use to secure that southern border clearly did not do their job. We had any explanation, charlie, not yet to why that happened. Not yet. But i think veterans of shin bet speaking to other news outlets have suggested that a full and frank discussion will happen after this conflict escalates. However, while that escalates. However, while that immediate reconnaissance pattern was a failure , we are now was a failure, we are now seeing, i think the full might and the extent of the Israeli Defence establishment stepping up their capabilities to recover what they have lost since saturday because they have lost a lot. This saturday because they have lost a lot. This morning the idf said in their morning briefing that they are still fighting in seven places israel. The places across israel. The Israeli Defence force, thats the Israeli Defence forces who are resisting the invasion of Hamas Terrorists into their southern territories. This southern territories. This morning weve seen images of israeli paratroopers patrolling in towns and villages that as of late of last night were still held by hamas fighters. Many of these towns, of course , still these towns, of course, still have kidnapped people being held by Hamas Terrorists. And so its by Hamas Terrorists. And so its an extremely delicate, precarious and violent situation, which is ongoing. But we are now seeing , i think, we are now seeing, i think, after the failure of the reconnaissance and intelligence activities, the demonstrated of israels military might as they seek to recover that position, one of the most shocking signs of the attack, of course, was was this festival that was happening, the supernova festival , a festival of peace. Festival, a festival of peace. Ironically , near the kibbutz, ironically, near the kibbutz, reem its close to the gaza strip, pretty dominantly young people there. Do we know how many people lost their lives at that festival . That festival . Al zarqaa, a humanitarian agency that recovers bodies dunng agency that recovers bodies during incidents like these. Unfortunately israel needs these agencies because of how many terror attacks and tragedies occurin terror attacks and tragedies occur in the region. Theyve recovered , they say, up to 260 recovered, they say, up to 260 bodies, at least in the last hour or two. Ive spoken to people who were eyewitnesses of the incident who fled the attack , who said that they saw inhuman an massacres. They saw unbearable acts, some of which have been reported overnight, details of which we shouldnt really discuss on air now, but the details are horrifying and included in that, of course, there is a british element. We know that one briton has been confirmed dead. His Nathaniel Young is a 20 year old. He was serving in the idf. Now, when i spoke to the idf last night, they said they cant confirm him as the army. But as a casualty of the army. But his family have said that he was the of the party and the life of the party and theyve released images of him in beret of the infantry in a brown beret of the infantry of the idf. So clearly of the idf. So clearly a soldier, other two that are missing. We have jake and dan, dan darlington. Jake was working dan darlington. Jake was working as a Security Guard at this festival. Jake marlow , and weve festival. Jake marlow, and weve not heard from him since. Footage ive seen of this party, this supernova rave on saturday morning , just 15 minutes before morning, just 15 minutes before the attack started. Does show what youve described. A community of peace, a global festival of peace and love. What happens soon after is extremely tragic. And as the stories emerge , and as the stories emerge, charlie, its just so shocking. Charlie, its just so shocking. I think daniel might have been the one that i saw reported that hed left the uk because of rising anti semitism here. And so hed gone to israel. These, so hed gone to israel. These, these these youngsters were having an amazing amount. Amazing day. And just remind people how the invasion happened. Where did hamas appear from . And by what means . Well, the ground sensors clearly did not work. And so hamas were able to breach through the border fence. Idf officials said that they werent able to actually close up some of positions. And this of those positions. And this morning, they said that they werent able confirm whether werent able to confirm whether or Access Points had or not those Access Points had still been closed over 48 hours after attack started. So after the attack started. So most of the men poured through an ordinary route just crossing the border, which which is extraordinarily baffling considering security considering the Security Apparatus down there. But weve also images of paragliding also seen images of paragliding forces arriving , and it has the forces arriving, and it has the hallmarks of a well trained asymmetric force conducting really special operations. And really special operations. And itll be very interesting to find out in the coming days just who trained them and how they pulled off this feat. Yeah, and also how they funded this, this extraordinary attack. Charlie, thank you so much. If you want to see the latest, as charlie said , he hes latest, as charlie said, he hes interviewed least at least interviewed at least at least one person from over there, charlie go the gb news charlie, go onto the gb news website and have a look. Gbnews. Com. Now questions are being raised, as we just discussed, about how the renowned Israeli Intelligence services caught services were caught so off guard. Joined now by efrat guard. Were joined now by efrat felleisen, israeli felleisen, whos an israeli independent journalist and joins us now. Efrat, so to good see you. Im so sorry about the circumstances under which we are talking. First of all, where are you , efrat, and are you safe . You, efrat, and are you safe . If yes , bev im based in tel if yes, bev im based in tel aviv. Thanks for having me. Aviv. Thanks for having me. Actually, as im preparing to go live on this broadcast, the sirens just came off and missiles are going again here in tel aviv. So you know, its im like a little bit shaky. Um, but it im fine. Im doing okay and my family is okay. Well , we really appreciate well, we really appreciate you joining us this morning. You are a citizen journalist ordinarily in israel. So tell us about saturday morning. You wake about saturday morning. You wake up, its a Public Holiday , i up, its a Public Holiday, i believe, in israel. What happened . Happened . Right. So sunday, sorry, saturday morning , right. So sunday, sorry, saturday morning, 6 am. With sunrise sirens are going off. Rockets start to go off around the centre of israel, which is not use usual at all. And then we wake up to the news of whats happening around the gaza envelope villages. We hear of multiple breaches of the border fence , which is very strange , fence, which is very strange, and ill talk about that in a minute. And then we start minute. And then we start heanng minute. And then we start hearing about people that are locked inside their shelters in the gaza envelope villages for hours and hours without any help coming. And this is very unusual. The army is not doing anything. The army is not doing anything. The police is not there. There are no defence Enforcement Powers on the ground to help the people who are stuck. Were people who are stuck. Were starting to hear about the music festival. 5000 people in this music festival. The sightings from there are horrifying. Yeah young adults are being ambushed and slaughtered. Were starting to see a lot of videos coming out and people are sharing footage from the ground, which is very gory and many of them were captured , tortured. We know were captured, tortured. We know of some young women that were raped even. And later taken hostage. Many of these young adults are still missing and their families are going crazy. Their families are going crazy. People were stuck in their shelters. Terrorists, the hamas shelters. Terrorists, the Hamas Terrorists were burning down houses in order to get those people to come out. And then capture them. So and we know that the forces did not arrive sometimes 8 to 9 hours later and in some cases even 12 to 24 hours later. So people were really blocked in their houses, which is crazy. Now, i just want which is crazy. Now, i just want to say im always on the side of the citizens of the humans, the side of truth and facts. And its very unpleasant to me to ask all these questions. But i served in the Intelligence Forces 25 years ago as a soldier , and i know the security drills. I know the layers of defence that we have. Worse, defence that we have. Worse, i know the spreading of the forces that were supposed to have on the ground and nothing has worked according to what i know, to what everyone that serves in the army knows. And its most of the army knows. And its most of the people in israel. So you really dont have to be an expert on that. You just have to serve in the army to see how things work. And this was 25 years ago today we have the most high tech army in the world. We have all notch have all the top notch technology. We have the most advanced weaponry systems. We have sensors all around this gate. If a cat moves by this gate. If a cat moves by this gate , forces are being alerted gate, forces are being alerted in order to go there and check what happened. Do you feel not only sorry , but can i just ask only sorry, but can i just ask you, do you feel now, as of as of today, of monday, that those Israeli Forces have stepped up . There has been significant bombardment from israel over overnight. Do you feel now that overnight. Do you feel now that the israeli people are being taken care of . Taken care of . Well, they are , but we know well, they are, but we know of many terrorists still wandering around israel, not just the gaza envelope area , but just the gaza envelope area, but now there are reports of terrorist. Its wandering around terrorist. Its wandering around the centre of israel and we also hear of hezbollah signs from up north. So, you know, its hard to feel safe these days. And to feel safe these days. And its hard for me to answer that. We know its being taken care of. A lot of reserves have been called back for duty. And there is a lot of Movement Towards the places that needs to be secured. However, is itjust interesting to know, is it easy to get out of israel . Are there many people fleeing to leave the country . To leave the country . Well, people are taking flights to get out, but and its still possible. Yes. The airport is still open and its possible to leave the country. But i to leave the country. But i dont think many people are doing it right now. People are more busy with taking care of their family and friends that many of them are missing and they have to be here to support they have to be here to support the situation and also to support the people in need. People dont have a lot of food and shelter and a lot of people are evacuated from their homes. And we need to take care of each other. I just want to say that yesterday a hamas soldier, a terrorist that was caught out by the Israeli Forces , he was the Israeli Forces, he was quoted saying in his investigation, we prepared for over a year. Thats what he over a year. Thats what he said. The demonstrations in israel encouraged us. I dont know how true that is. Its been five hours till israel started shooting at us. We were set up with 1000 soldiers. We created 15 breaches in the border fence. We were surprised and shocked that the idf is not waiting for us and this is crazy that the idf was not prepared for this and we also know that hamas has released video footage about three weeks ago of their exact plan on how theyre going to penetrate and attack israel. And we need to ask ourselves, how come this is able to happen . Huge surprise attack is happening even bigger than the yom kippur war. I would say. Okay, efrat, thank you so much for bringing us that contribution this morning. Efrat, phoenix and theyre an israeli independent journalist. Israeli independent journalist. You can find efrat on twitter as well , where she does regular well, where she does regular broadcast posts about the situation. Now get let us know situation. Now get let us know your thoughts this morning on all of our talking points. Vaiews gbnews. Com. But lets go back to the Labor Party Conference in liverpool where Andrew Pierce is holding the fort for us this morning. Andrew certainly, thanks , bev. Certainly, thanks, bev. Well, all eyes will be on sir keir starmer, whos doing his keynote speech tomorrow afternoon , even though the afternoon, even though the conference runs till wednesday, so does he have what it takes to be the pm . Delighted. Say here in the conference with me is luke trowel, who is the director of more in common. Now youve done a lot of focus groups, but before we talk about them, what is more in common, more in common was set up in 2016 following the very tragic murder of jo cox , and our mission is to of jo cox, and our mission is to try and tackle that was the labour mp. Labour mp murdered by a right wing fanatic extremist in 2016. And we were set up basically to try and look at how do you tackle polarisation in society, find common ground. And one of the main ways that we do that is to try and shine a light on what the public really think about issues, to try and bridge that gap between what you might call elite thinking. Those in positions and what the positions of power and what the pubuc positions of power and what the public try and public think and try and identify you move fonnard on identify how you move fonnard on some of the big issues of our day. Now, you do a lot of polling, you do a lot of focus groups, just so people know a focus group, you talk to groups of floating voters not attached to any political party, whether its workington swindon, its in workington or swindon, wherever. Quite wherever. Theres quite a quite a encouragement for sir keir starmer in one way, but not so much in another. Explain. Luke so what we find from our research in both the polling, which is the quant and the focus groups, where you talk to people in those groups, is that people think its time for change. Yeah, in fact, we had a poll a couple of weeks ago when 75 of the public said it needed to be a change of government. The interesting thing, though, is if you ask them, would labour do a better job than margin narrows significantly. In fact, the significantly. In fact, the pubuc significantly. In fact, the public are only about five points more likely to say that labour would actually do a better job. Well, that means a lot more work to be done keir starmer work to be done by keir starmer and troops here this week and his troops here this week and his troops here this week and the election. Absolutely. Like the public have doubt think have no doubt that they think the country is broken. They think things cant carry on as they but theres a bit of they are, but theres a bit of frustration theyre frustration that theyre not heanng frustration that theyre not hearing starmer what hearing from keir starmer what his labour party would do differently. There isnt the equivalent of that. You remember the pledge card . Oh, yeah, the blair pledge card . Oh, yeah, fine. I pledge people just want to hear. It doesnt have to be a grand vision, but its got to be 2 tangible things that 2 or 3 tangible things that labour would better. Labour would do better. He has got five pledges and he has got five pledges and cant remember in and i cant remember the life in what are. And if you stop, what they are. And if you stop, most people in this conference, luke, they struggle to, luke, they would struggle to, including mps absolutely. Including labour mps absolutely. Keiras are, i think keiras missions are, theyre interesting set of theyre an interesting set of statements, you contrast statements, but you contrast them actually to rishis pledges , which are much more boom boom, but do this and but well do this, this and this. Whereas the missions are much more intangible for people, something growth i yes, exactly. Some of you that we will growth in that we will be the growth in the g7. And rishi, of course, the g7. And rishi, of course, has pledges, which he might has his pledges, which he might not the boats not reach the small boats inflation, but go back into keir starmer people think hes ahead of rishi sunak, but they think hes a grey man and they dont know what he stands for. Yeah, i think one of the challenges that keir has is there is a big anti polish mood at the moment, so people are willing to give him a chance at the moment to be Prime Minister. They certainly dont find rishi sunak very relatable his sunak very relatable and his wealth lot as a big wealth comes up a lot as a big issue. It is a big issue and particularly some of the sort of wealth gaffes. You know, you remember when he borrowed that prius or he went to the building site in £100 shoes that cuts through not because people are anti wealth, because they say you dont go to a building site in shoes like that, you know, so thats a big change. And the challenge though, is challenge for keir, though, is whether they think hes that different. And whats really interesting is lots of people assume from assume he comes from a background of wealth. His title, background of wealth. His title, sir keir lots of people think thats a hereditary thing, that he was born into money. And what they often say is, look, hes really good at pointing out whats wrong, but very rarely offers positive vision. And offers a positive vision. And i think classics elicitor exactly whats come up in focus groups and Boris Johnson, whatever his strengths and flaws, was very good at coining a nickname. And good at coining a nickname. And whats interesting is that captain, hindsight, whats interesting is that captain, hindsight , that captain, hindsight, that nickname that boris used really cut through with the public like political slogans rarely do that did. And ive had it played back to me in focus group after focus group. Thats true. Hes with that very fine organisation set up after the death of jo cox. More in common. Stay with us. Were going to be taking a tour of the conference a few conference floor in just a few moments see what the moments to see what the activists really think about whats labour whats happening here at labour and beyond. Were gb news, britains news channel its Aidan Mcgivern hi there. Its Aidan Mcgivern here the met office with here from the met office with the forecast dry for the gb news forecast dry for many today. Warm in the many of us today. Warm in the south, but still some in south, but still some rain in the as near as the north. Nowhere as near as much saw across scotland much as we saw across scotland through the weekend. More than 100mm of 100mm widely across parts of central and western scotland, leading widespread flooding. Leading to widespread flooding. Severe flood warnings still in force, but any rain today will be mostly light showers affecting the Western Isles into the west of the central belt. Othennise, some brightness coming scotland coming through for scotland and more especially across the rest of the uk. There will be some sunny spells, some mist lingering around irish sea coasts as well as southwest england. And there will be some england. And there will be some high cloud about as well. But still with the sunshine low to mid 20s in the south and feeling warmer further north compared with weekend as well. Now with the weekend as well. Now the mist and low cloud that we see around the coast through the afternoon will push inland somewhat so some somewhat overnight. So some dense patches forming across dense fog patches forming across the south and west of the uk. The south and west of the uk. Meanwhile, thicker cloud returns to scotland with some outbreaks of rain pushing in by dawn. Its a mild night but a cloudy start to the day on tuesday and a wet start for western scotland. Unfortunately that rain coming on top of the very wet ground could cause further issues. A could cause further issues. A yellow rain warning in force, 50mm in places not as much as we saw through the weekend, but we dont need any more rain. Obviously now the rain will push into parts of Northern Ireland and england the end and Northern England by the end of the afternoon, drier further south gb news. And 28. Gb news. And 28. Gb news. And 28. This is britains newsroom on gb news with Andrew Pierce in liverpool and bev turner here in london. Now our deputy Political Editor tom hannood is out and about at the labour Party Conference once in liverpool. I bet they give you a really warm welcome there. Dont they, tom, is delighted see is everybody . Delighted to see you you with a big hug . I . I havent yet had a big hug from anyone, but you know what . It is actually quite a happy atmosphere here at the labour Party Conference. Lets see if we can take a little walk around the conference hall. Now, the exhibition zone of the conference floor here, and this is live tv. So anything can happen. But well see if we can grab any Labour Party Members as we go. Excuse me, sir, are you a Labour Party Member . Ive got a question. No, youre not. Not question. No, youre not. Not keen. Okay no worries. Well, theres could happen. Theres anything could happen. Excuse the phone. Excuse me. Youre on the phone. This well this is going super, super well. Hello, sir. Are you a Labour Party Member . Yes, indeed. I want to ask you a question about Jeremy Corbyn because hes been speaking around fringe at speaking around at the fringe at the moment. Should he be a Labour Party Member . The moment. Should he be a laqur party member . The moment. Should he be a labi dontty member . The moment. Should he be a labi dont think mber . The moment. Should he be a labi dont think heer . The moment. Should he be a labi dont think he should be i dont think he should be because he has shown anti semitism. Um, dont anti semitism. Um, and we dont like that in our party. So so keir starmer should boot him out. Him out. I think the policies of the party should be followed and Jeremy Corbyn should not be a member. Thats my opinion. Well, thanks very much for speaking to us. Enjoy listing stuff there. Course. Jeremy stuff there. Of course. Jeremy corbyn has been speaking the corbyn has been speaking at the fringe official fringe, not at any official events. So at this labour events. So far at this labour Party Conference, but as you can see, lots of buzz and busyness here in liverpool, although i have to say the general feeling ihave have to say the general feeling i have from this conference is it feels more tory than any of the previous labour conferences. Ive been to more people in suits, more flags, more union flags i should say fewer palestinian flags and indeed more corporate sponsors and exhibitors here as well too. Perhaps this is a changed labour party, perhaps this conference is one that is looking towards government more than anything else. I think perhaps well just end here by having a little look at the Labour Party Shop because it is a delightful thing. You can get a sock that says sock it to the tories, you can get an nhs branded tote bag or even a little , i dont know, a bandana little, i dont know, a bandana for your dog. Im not quite sure why youd want to do that. And here we go. Perhaps this speaks to it all. A quote from tony blair for sale here at the labour shop. A new dawn has broken. Has it not . Thank you, tom. Well done. Why would you want a labour themed bandana for your dog . Well it is all very strange. Ill tell you what i learned at the conservative Party Conference last week in manchester is how much money actually the conferences generate for parties. Generate for the parties.

And author and journalist emma here talk about emma wolf are here to talk about some other big stories of some of the other big stories of the right, mike . David the day. Right, mike . David lammy, foreign secretary, lammy, shadow foreign secretary, has been making murmurs about the relationship that labour might cultivate with the eu were they to become the government. Yeah, i think its more than murmurs, isnt it . I mean, david lammy, as you say, shadow foreign secretary, arch remainer, you know, and has never any secret of that. Never made any secret of that. And when he says, oh, well start dating the eu, hes really just extending what Keir Starmers position was revealed as being when he went to the conference in canada that , you conference in canada that, you know, well start following our guidance along eu lines. What i simply dont understand is dont they realise that the british people are not stupid and that if you look at the situation in europe, we, the uk are doing better than germany , which used better than germany, which used to be the powerhouse of europe. To be the powerhouse of europe. Poland is doing better than germany because they dont follow the eu lines that david lammy is talking about. Italy and britain are talking together to try and do something about the migrants crossing europe. So the migrants crossing europe. So thats european cooperation, which is very positive. But we all know what labours hidden agenda is. We think , is that agenda is. We think, is that more people will be welcomed to come to this country if labour get in than less so i think he speaks with forked tongue. Im not accusing him of being dishonest, but im saying that im sure weve weve got it im not sure weve weve got it straight. He recently, by the way, im sorry to interrupt, but he went on a trip to brazil to Research Green issues in the amazon forest. Four nights, £25,000, £6,000 a night for a trip to the amazon. And it was sponsored, apparently , by sponsored, apparently, by harrison ford. Yeah. No no. Outrageous. Well. Well, he was talking at a fringe event at the liverpool at the labour Party Conference in liverpool and it was organised by the tony blair institute. Emma hes never very far away from these issues, is he . Lets be honest, he isnt. And he did tell the audience that not take that labour would not take britain into the eu, the britain back into the eu, the Single Market the customs Single Market or the customs union. He started union. And then he started adding list of things that they would do. And then he started running away starts away with himself. He starts talking very, very talking about this very, very bitter with eu. Yeah bitter divorce with the eu. Yeah he hes an he is. Hes well, hes an embarrassment. Its embarrassment. Hes. Its alarming that a shadow alarming that hes a shadow foreign he could be foreign secretary. He could be the was like when diane the it was like when diane abbott shouting, you just abbott was shouting, you just think they could be foreign think they could be our foreign secretary. Year. Think they could be our foreign secreis ry. Year. Think they could be our foreign secreis an year. Think they could be our foreign secreis an embarrassment. Ear. Think they could be our foreign secreis an embarrassment. Hes that is an embarrassment. Hes allowed to share political allowed to share his political views. Utterly views. Total utterly undemocratic, totally disrespectful to the british people. Politically. Hes all people. Politically. Hes all over the hes talking to over the shop. Hes talking to these fringe events and on radio constantly. But in a way, i like to hear this stuff because do you know what . Then are getting some then you are getting some clear water, some clarity. Youre getting some clarity on the differences between parties. Been he shilly shally hasnt been he shilly shally around. Least david is around. At least david lammy is nailing colours. Around. At least david lammy is naili|totally olours. Around. At least david lammy is naili|totally agree. I would call i totally agree. I would call it more than clarity. I would call the start of suicide call it the start of a suicide list its clearly not list because its clearly not what british want. What the british people want. Whenever anybody who was whenever i hear anybody who was a remainer talking about it, why cant they be gracious and say, actually the benefits are there . We had the orchestra with australia, weve got a deal on pacific trade. We were the first to get the vaccines rolled out. We helped ukraine and the rest of the world followed. There have trimmed positives from have been trimmed positives from brexit, they totally brexit, which they totally ignore and most of those. But even if you dont accept those, the benefits of those International Trade deals that we are signing all over the world, india, you even if you world, india, if you even if you still have to be a dribbling ramona , please just respect the ramona, please just respect the vote was democratic. Exactly thatis vote was democratic. Exactly that is so disrespectful to the british people. I think. Exactly. People like david lammy need to wind their neck in and in a way all all really all labour have needed to do as youve seen in the polls, is just to not cause any major ructions. Right. And they could sweep the board, they seem to be the board, but they seem to be just walking into these. Just walking into these. Well, when you have controversial yeah. Talking about misogyny at making that a hate crime , making it a hate hate crime, making it a hate crime but the venom she was talking about private schools, the venom, the hatred she the venom, the hatred that she feels towards is just frightening when you have people like and david like Angela Rayner and David Lammy Corbyn around the lammy and corbyn around the fringes, you know, its going to be a tricky conference. I totally endorse emmas point there the real there about seeing the real colours of labour because this there about seeing the real co mes of labour because this there about seeing the real co me isyf labour because this there about seeing the real co me is the bour because this there about seeing the real co me is the very because this there about seeing the real co me is the very worstse this there about seeing the real co me is the very worstse tiof to me is the very worst sort of labour politics person is labour politics person who is dnven labour politics person who is driven ideology but not driven by ideology but not dnven driven by ideology but not driven practise reality or driven by practise reality or the facts. And nothing is going to change the political brain that thinks like that. Keir starmer is going to try and get them in line because he needs to, because theyve been out control, of power for out of control, out of power for so long, 13 years that they can do this, they can talk about this stuff, but actually he needs to them, guys, we needs to say to them, guys, we needs to say to them, guys, we need steady the ship. We need need to steady the ship. We need to the ship. Just dont to steady the ship. Just dont do anything theres do anything wrong. But theres this. Havent good this. I havent had a Good Conference theres conference thus far. Theres this this fascinating this theres this fascinating question lingers all question that lingers over all of who would be of this, which is, who would be the labour voter with these proposals if what they would traditionally appeal to . Would, you know, people who might want a little less immigration, perhaps that i dont know who they appeal to any more brexit voters . No. See, i still believe in the small c conservative voter in this country who i dont think ever reveals themselves until they get into the ballot box. I still think youre under pressure in this country to follow the herd. And i still think you are going to be wary of expressing certain views because of social media, youll get badly attacked. And so a lot get badly attacked. And so a lot of people just stay quiet. Itll be fascinating to see at the end of this week whether the british populace, the voting population , think that labour do have any alternatives because at the moment it doesnt look like they have. And that moment when the israeli flag finally too late, but finally went up on on ten downing, youre not going to comment but that i comment but when that did, i thought do you know what the conservatives have a chance. Most thinking most people are not thinking about are 99 about politics like we are 99 of time. Weve got a year. Of the time. Weve got a year. I think sunak could pull this back. Think that labour as you back. I think that labour as you say, bev, theyre all over the place theyre when place because theyre not. When they i dont they talk about, i dont know, funding undergraduates by funding poorer undergraduates by taxing the rich, by by raising a levy on the rich. Yeah. Okay. Whos to be whos that . Theres going to be thats upset a lot of thats going to upset a lot of people. They about their people. They talk about their grandiose for social grandiose plans for social housing. Put housing. They dont put any figures it. Theyre figures on it. Theyre just going more social going to build loads more social housing where they are all over the theyre alienating the place. Theyre alienating a lot with this kind of brexit. B rexit. Brexit. They cant. And the other point write on about them point you write on about them being all over the place, how on the the same conference the same at the same conference you reeves coming you have Rachel Reeves coming fonnard saying, im the friend of business, to grow of business, im going to grow the and then angela the economy. And then Angela Rayner saying shes going to introduce so much red in introduce so much red tape in the you cant the workplace that you cant possibly grow the economy if youre giving people four day weeks, 36 hours and three months off, weeks, 36 hours and three months off to weeks, 36 hours and three months off, to be talking off, were going to be talking to mp steve mccabe to labour mp steve mccabe actually in the show with before midday. So we will hear what he has to say and it will be really interesting to just ask him simply is your voter . Yes. Simply who is your voter . Yes. Who your . Simply who is your voter . Yes. Thlabours . Simply who is your voter . Yes. Thlabours policies are all labours policies are all over the shop and then you have, you starmer talking about you know, starmer talking about rwanda, come rwanda, which will probably come to, on yeah, know, whatever, to, on yeah, you know, whatever, whatever Supreme Court whatever the Supreme Court decides, hes not going to decides, oh, hes not going to take notice that. Take any notice of that. Talking of which emma wolf, thank you for that fabulous segway. About that. Segway. Lets talk about that. Its Supreme Court today its in the Supreme Court today to find whether will ever to find out whether we will ever be allowed to activate the rwanda potential rwanda plan and get potential refugees , immigrants, refugees, immigrants, Asylum Seekers. Know , whichever seekers. You know, whichever banner particular banner those particular individuals on the individuals fall under on the planes to rwanda and therefore have have this plan act as a deterrent. Mike and sir keir starmer is saying, well , either starmer is saying, well, either way, if it gets the green light, its still going to its still going to scrap it. Yeah he just said that. He insists he would scrap the rwanda scheme without without even works or not. Even knowing if it works or not. So as youre quite say, so as youre quite rightly say, the court have started the Supreme Court have started sitting today to come up with a result is it 3 result in about, is it 3 or 4 weeks, november, mid november, and about four and theyll decide about four weeks or five weeks or Something Like that. He says hes too expensive, doesnt he . Well well, yeah, but know what well, yeah, but we all know what he really means is that i think its wrong. He really means is that i think its its ng. He really means is that i think its its hugely expensive. Its its hugely expensive. Its a tiny it doesnt tiny number and it doesnt address the real problem at source because got master plan. Yeah. What is the what is his plan instead . But i read some research which said what the government are banking on is getting 2 to 3000 people returned to rwanda. So if they get the decision from the Supreme Court at that point, they believe it will have a positive effect on stopping people getting into boats across the channel. Thats what they need. 2 the channel. Thats what they need. 2 or 3000 people. And he is terrified , of course, of it is terrified, of course, of it working because it is totally against his instincts, his instincts have been leftish all along to keep the borders open and let people keep coming and thats what he thinks will appease his hard left while hes trying to go for these moderate policy. What i find amazing from making this statement now is, as you say, mike, its about the ideology the ideology and not about the practical. If said, practical. So even if he said, well, if we get the green light, lets give it six months, lets see if it works deterrent. See if it works as a deterrent. But hes not even saying that. So therefore, does suggest so therefore, he does suggest its ideology, not its about the ideology, not about practicalities. About the practicalities. Lawyer. This is this is a lawyer. This is a former dpp saying as the Supreme Court begin their hearings, that whatever its whatever they rule, even if its legal, even if its successful, but its legal, he will but even if its legal, he will overturn and he says overturn that plan. And he says hes got this plan smash hes got this plan to smash the criminal the criminal gangs behind the illegal Channel Crossings we havent that is. Havent heard what that is. He was asked about it yesterday. He was asked about it yesterday. How this plan yesterday. How will this plan going where do you going to work . Where do you start . Know, with start . You know, with the criminal the criminal criminal gangs. The criminal gangs the biggest gangs form one of the Biggest Industries world. Its £1 industries in the world. Its £1 billion industry and keir starmer sort it out, starmer is going to sort it out, is not just talking about is he not just talking about people in europe and africa . Were about people in were talking about people in south going south america going to the United States. Massive United States. Its a massive industry. He and he thinks he can smash it by. Used to be can smash it by. I used to be the you know. The dpp, you know. Well, he sort of when he talks it, makes talks about it, it makes it sound like its almostjust sound like its almost just going him the ground, going to be him on the ground, like some sort of Indiana Jones character doesnt he doesnt have a for does it . Will. I will break the criminal gangs and criminal gangs. I will be on the beaches. Thats be there on the beaches. Thats what it like. Would like that. We we all would like that. We would love that. Plan a bit is a bit rwanda plan is a bit is a bit dodgy. Its expensive dodgy. I mean, its expensive per person. All of that look, its not idea. Its its not the best idea. Its clearly now at all clearly being pursued now at all costs because they have get costs because they have to get it. Theyve got nothing else. Well theres nothing else. There must than must be Something Better than this. Politician. This. Im not a politician. I dont what. Rwanda, to me dont know what. Rwanda, to me does crazy that does sound a bit crazy that people here and you put people come here and you put them on a plane and you send them on a plane and you send them 3000 miles away. But but its better keir starmer its better than keir starmer saying, totally agree. Saying, i totally agree. I. Prefer instead of and i. I prefer instead of calling starmer the calling sir keir starmer the former prefer to call him former dpp, i prefer to call him a qualified human lawyer a qualified human rights lawyer because been because thats what hes been since he became a since he became a lawyer. A human and human human rights lawyer and human rights have a job in rights lawyers have a job in life and that is to try and use human rights to allow a lot of people to come into this country. They do. Oh , we i think were going to oh, we i think were going to take some live footage from the Supreme Court. I dont know if were going to listen to this gentleman speaking at the moment. But no, were not. Were just we are going to be watching this situation closely. Obviously emma, this this has been a long time. You kind of remember it was priti patel that when she was priti patel that when she was the home secretary originally announced this plan. And i remember at the time wed been on such a journey with this story, because story, havent we . Because i remember thinking is remember at the time thinking is that spoof . It was like theyd that a spoof . It was like theyd sat come up with the sat down and come up with the weirdest plan, the strangest plan, most complicated , the plan, the most complicated, the most expensive. When people were you remember when people were saying plane on a saying theres a plane on a runway and theres about three people to get on people theyre going to get on it. Its going to cost them thousands per person. But i think that rwanda issue is think that the rwanda issue is just ludicrous when you think about what what kind of how its been pushed and pushed and pushed, how theyre just determined to get it through. But the thing is, the issue with the rwanda plan is this. We had Suella Braverman out there saying what a wonderful country this is. And it has a very young population because of the massacres and the genocide that from. Theyve that they suffered from. Theyve got very population. Got a very young population. Its digital hub. Its a big digital hub. Its actually a very up and coming country. And she was there. There a cricket it there was a cricket pitch. It was looking very was it was looking very appealing. But course, it is appealing. But of course, it is meant to be a deterrent. You cant be both, can you . Right. Well , yes, because if the well, yes, because if the eventual target is get to the uk and if you get here, you send somewhere else, it doesnt matter where that anywhere else is. You see what i mean . Is. Do you see what i mean . Yeah. And because we are one of the countries in the the fairest countries in the world, wont people to world, we wont send people to somewhere theyre going somewhere where theyre going to be we will be ostracised and hurt. We will send somewhere where send them to somewhere where theyll civilly. Just theyll be treated civilly. Just on on the supreme on this today on the Supreme Court , the outcome of this is court, the outcome of this is also going to define our future relationship with the echr, isnt it . Relationship with the echr, isnt it . Because should no isnt it . Because we should no longer have to bow to the wishes of echr , either the commission of echr, either the commission or the court . Should we cricketers are confident theyre going to get this through this time because its a lot more right wing. Think this makes i dont think this makes starmer look very Prime Ministerial that whatever ministerial to say that whatever they rule hearing opens , they rule as the hearing opens, i agree. Whatever they rule, hes to it. Hes not going to follow it. Agree. Hes not going to follow it. Andree. Hes not going to follow it. And as. Hes not going to follow it. And as you say, hes a lawyer. Well, i guess. Matt. Go no no. Sorry, matt. Go on. No no. Sorry, matt. Go on. No no. Its only going to say its exactly the the brexit exactly the same as the brexit result, isnt it . Oh, we dont care what the result was, but nothing to do with that. Were just going it. And just going to ignore it. And yet the might come out and say the court might come out and say its okay, we can go and all that kind stuff. No, im that kind of stuff. No, im sorry. Im keir starmer. Im overruling highest overruling even the highest court decision. Court in the land decision. You like him say, would you like him to say, emma, what would we what do you think labour voter would want think a labour voter would want to keir starmer to hear from keir starmer i think its really simple. Whatever the, you know, the supreme today, whatever the, you know, the s|very ne today, whatever the, you know, the s|very important today, whatever the, you know, the s|very important decision. Y, whatever the, you know, the s|very important decision. We a very important decision. We have real with have a real problem with immigration. La la la la la. Whatever they rule, we will look at and we will at those findings and we will respect the decision of the supreme than, as Supreme Court rather than, as you say, the echr, because it repeats what british repeatedly. Immigration out in the immigration comes out in the top of the priorities for the british people. For british people. Yes, for government. Yet he must government. And yet he must believe there is a that believe there is a base that vote labour that dont want i i i think thats why theyre so misguided and thats why i talk about the small c conservative voter, because remember the 80 seat majority came from the red wall. Northern people who are small c conservatives who like standing on their own two feet, earning money to put food on the table for their family, all that kind of stuff, right . Mike and emma, thank you so much for now. Right. Let us know your thoughts this morning. Vaiews gbnews. Com your thoughts this morning. Vainemailsnnews. Com your thoughts this morning.

Thats near gaza for now. Rear admiral daniel hagar from the Israeli Defence force says Israeli Defence force says israel will restore security to its people while hamas was more barbaric and more brutal than isis. Isis. Let me be crystal clear. Israel will respond with determined action and force to their unprovoked war crimes. The days ahead will be long and difficult. We have paid a heavy difficult. We have paid a heavy price, but we will restore security to the people of israel i war journalist yara eid says israel should have expected the attack. This attack of hamas was not an unprovoked attack. It did not just come suddenly. You know, this has been systematically israel is running an apartheid state. Lets ignore whats happening in gaza for one second. What about the west bank . How can we justify whats happening in jerusalem . How can we justify killing of worshippers while theyre just in the aqsa theyre just praying in the aqsa mosque . Can justify the mosque . How can we justify the imprisonment of thousands of children . You know, how can we children . You know, how can we justify the killing of 10,000 palestinians since 2000 .

Challenge should be thrown out. Shadow financial secretary to the treasury james murray told gb news how labour planned to tackle the small boats crisis. Theyve had 13 years. The problem has got worse and they havent got an actual plan that would help stop these illegal boat crossings. And what we set boat crossings. And what we set out is how we would do that differently, how we would use the money rather than wasting it on rwanda scheme. We would on the rwanda scheme. We would spend money on a cross spend that money on a cross border force make sure Border Police force to make sure we could after the criminal we could go after the criminal gangs who were responsible for these crossings these illegal boat crossings and stop first stop them happening in the first place. We more than 400 criminals have been jailed for a total of more than 3700 years after an operation by the met police, operation eternal investigated organised crime groups over a three and a half year period by targeting an encrypted messaging platform.

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 its back to. Bev back to. Bev thank you for joining back to. Bev thank you forjoining us. Thank you for joining us. Its 1106. So israels defence minister has ordered a total blockade on gaza, cutting off food , fuel and electricity. More food, fuel and electricity. More than 1000 people are now believed to have been killed on both sides of the israel hamas war. Its the largest escalation in decades. Israel continues to in decades. Israel continues to retaliate with a heavy bombardment of gaza. But hamas bombardment of gaza. But hamas has also continued to fire more rockets overnight. Well, joining rockets overnight. Well, joining me now to discuss this in more detail, political commentator piers pottinger pierce, you often come in and we talk about some light hearted topics, some political seem political issues which seem relevant day like today. Relevant on a day like today. Those sort of disappear into the background. This is horrific what is happening out there. Mean, its absolutely i mean, its absolutely horrific, obviously, and hamas are terrorists. Theyre branch of the muslim brotherhood. Of the muslim brotherhood. Whats more worrying is the wider repercussions of this. The wider repercussions of this. The head of hamas, ismail haniya, was watching all the horror from his office in qatar , and he is his office in qatar, and he is supported by qatar , as well as supported by qatar, as well as iran. And syria. And of course , iran. And syria. And of course, a lot of this has got to do with saudi arabia because saudi arabia has a sort of pact with israel, which was signed very recently. And the saudi is no recently. And the saudi is no friend of iran, obviously , and friend of iran, obviously, and qatar and saudi have a very uneasy relationship. So the uneasy relationship. So the whole middle east is going to be its a tinderbox , bits of which its a tinderbox, bits of which have already exploded , added the have already exploded, added the us is sending in carriers and britain has promised support. It it is horrific. I mean, the loss it is horrific. I mean, the loss of life and the innocent people being butchered in the way they were by these terrorists is unforgivable and should be condemned by everyone in particularly people in the labour party who of course, have a history of supporting hamas and something they should be quick and do more to distance themselves from. Jeremy corbyn, for example, is at the labour Party Conference. Hes still a member of the labour party. Why member of the labour party. Why these people are terrorists and nobody should be endorsing them at all. The breaking news is that america has sent the biggest warship in the to world israel. Right . And to what extent do you think. Pierce were going to see think. Pierce were going to see america and also the British Government get involved in this conflict. What are the parameters that you would be comfortable with . Well, im not comfortable with any of it because, i mean , with any of it because, i mean, were you know, this can escalate so quickly. And we have some very trigger happy people around. But america is very committed to supporting israel. Committed to supporting israel. And im not at all surprised. Theyve sent the biggest warship. They want to send a big message. And i mean, the only message. And i mean, the only hopeis message. And i mean, the only hope is that this is to going stop quickly. I mean, israel stop quickly. I mean, israel were bound to retaliate after the horrific attack by hamas. The horrific attack by hamas. And also it was a very unusual lapse of intelligence by israel. Normally, theyre very good at spotting whats coming, but they werent in this case. And thats also worrying the fact that hamas were able to outsmart israel, who are normally the smartest on the intelligence. We had. We had a journalist from israel, efrat fenigstein, who was on earlier, and she was saying that ordinarily and she used to work for the Intelligence Services in israel, a cat crossing that border would set off an alarm. And she said, how is it possible that they were caught napping . It was a pubuc were caught napping . It was a Public Holiday , but that that Public Holiday, but that that shouldnt have any bearing on how those defences were. How weak those defences were. They hamas were very i mean, they hamas were very clever. Theres no question about it. Paragliders arriving by paraglider. They they used all kinds of different techniques , but they different techniques, but they outsmarted the israelis and but the retribution by israel has already started. And i think that isnt going to be very pleasant to read about either or to witness. I mean, the fact of the matter is, were talking about thousands of civilian lives. At risk here, many of lives. At risk here, many of whom whove been lost already. Its a horrifying situation. And its a horrifying situation. And unfortunately , im not unfortunately, im not particularly confident in joe bidens ability to pull this together because this is a situation that requires a strong us president. I think weve got a relatively strong rishi sunak in our camp because whatever you say about rishi, hes very sound on Foreign Policy and i have no doubt hell do the right thing. But with biden its very worrying. And again , americans worrying. And again, americans have a tendency to overreact. Thank goodness trump isnt president. I hate to think what would have happened because he , would have happened because he, of course, is a huge supporter of course, is a huge supporter of israel. The republicans get more money from israel than than any other part of the political sphere in america. The israelis are their biggest donors. One of the surprising things about trumps reign as president , though, was how peaceful that penod , though, was how peaceful that period of time was. Perhaps because he he was known to be a little unpredictable. Nobody wanted to poke the bear in that situation, whereas biden looks incredibly weak. Incredibly weak. Well, thats the point. I mean, trump was unequivocal in his support for israel. Joe his support for israel. Joe biden is going to be more cautious. Yes. And also, i mean, cautious. Yes. And also, i mean, if you watch bidens performances , i mean, goodness performances, i mean, goodness only knows what hes actually thinking. Yeah, i just hope hes got the right advisers around him, because what happens with israel and i mean, its america is going to now be the key factor in the future of this conflict and whether it gets resolved quickly or not. And my fear is this is going to drag on for a long time. Um, the of course the implications as well with this being the middle east are related to oil and gas. Yes. And that the fuel we have, as we know , our bills in this country know, our bills in this country are huge. This is not going to help. Pierce no, no. Well the price of oil this morning has soared. And i mean, that was predicted oil. And of course, it will have an effect on everyone. Yes the implications just go wider and wider the more you look at this conflict and some of the horrific possibilities of dragging more and more people into the into this conflict. Can ijust into the into this conflict. Can i just ask you about the fact that the bbc still dont describe hamas as a terrorist organisation . Organisation . Why . Why . Well, its ridiculous. I mean , they did the similar thing with the ira at one point when they were killing our civilians and soldiers. They were killing our civilians and soldiers. But no , of they were killing our civilians and soldiers. But no , of course, and soldiers. But no, of course, its preposterous. I mean , the its preposterous. I mean, the bbcs own riddick lawless agenda is absolutely outrageous. I is absolutely outrageous. I mean, tonight theyre doing an absurd four hour documentary on jimmy savile, who they celebrated , nurtured, employed , celebrated, nurtured, employed, and they admit they call it a factual drama, even though its got huge fictitious moments in it. Like jimmy savile confessing to a priest about his horrible crimes , which he never did. And crimes, which he never did. And they admit is fictitious. Yeah. Why a licence payers paying the bbc . How much did steve coogan get paid for four hours of this so called drama . And who wants so called drama . And who wants to see four hours about the probably one of the most horrible celebrity in british history . Thats right. Thats right. I mean, its nonsense. The bbc have lost the plot. We know that. Well, youd be much wiser. And thats why more and more people are watching the peoples channel and to watch gb news at 9 00 tonight rather than that rubbish. Right . Weve got this big event Supreme Court at event in the Supreme Court at the rwanda policy. This has been rumbling long rumbling on piers for so long now. And keir starmer has come out today and said, well, even if it is given the green light and we can put people on those aeroplanes, hes going to scrap it prime it anyway. If he becomes Prime Minister thing minister extraordinaire thing to say. Well, of course. I mean this labour is absurd. Labour conference is absurd. I call the con in call it. They put the con in conference. I mean, first of all, he says hes going to scrap that because populist that because it sounds populist thing to say, but equally hes talking about a deal with the eu to immigrants, legal to take more immigrants, Legal Immigration rights, more share. So hes actually going to increase immigration in its rather like the financial policies theyre talking about, but that just dont add up. But he must think, i mean, look, all these politicians do focus group after focus group. Now, he must believe there is a contingent of voters out there who would agree with him on that. Im sure he does, because thats everything about this this ridiculous conference theyve incidentally, theyve got, which incidentally, shouldnt time. The shouldnt be at this time. The conservatives made mistake conservatives made a big mistake letting come last. The letting them come last. The conservatives traditionally would have been last. And for would have been last. And for some reason they let labour come last. So they had a really Good Opportunity to jump on everything that the conservative conference, which wasnt difficult to do, by the way, but i do feel that , you know what i do feel that, you know what hes saying is, is nonsense. And hes saying is, is nonsense. And we should be able to determine our own immigration laws. Nobody else us as a country. And thats what this argument is about. Sunak sorry, starmer loves to flow , go with the flow. I mean, flow, go with the flow. I mean, thats why at i was hoping andrew up at the conservative conference was buying me a pair of keir starmer flip flops. There were 1699 pairs, but i think thats quite expensive for a pair of thats too much. Too thats much. Too thats much. Youre worth it. And i should have brought you a pair back. Im sure you can buy them online. Piers, great to see you. Thank so much. Okay let us thank you so much. Okay let us know this morning. Know your thoughts this morning. Email gbviews gbnews. Uk. Know your thoughts this morning. Email gbvievthere news. Uk. Know your thoughts this morning. Email gbvievthere atws. Uk. Know your thoughts this morning. Email gbvievthere at the k. Andrew, you are there at the labour Party Conference. Hows it all going this morning . Its going pretty well, really, and not least because ive got with me our fabulous deputy Political Editor, tom pearce, and bev having a pearce, andrew and bev having a proper discussion there. Quite right we talk about right before we talk about whats its whats happening here, its outrageous are not outrageous that the bbc are not calling whove just calling hamas whove just carried out one of the most mediaeval assaults in our lifetime. Theyre not calling lifetime. Theyre not calling them a terrorist organisation. Them a terrorist organisation. Theyre terrorists. Well, the United Kingdom government designates them as terrorists. The american terrorists. The American Government designates them as terrorists. Even the European Union designates them as terrorists. And clearly an assault on unarmed civilians at assault on unarmed civilians at a music festival. Hundreds dead, a music festival. Hundreds dead, a thousand dead, i think is the last death toll that is published. No doubt that will rise. I mean, this is a terrorist atrocity. It is. However, the bbcs official style guide to avoid using the word terrorist wherever possible. So theyre using the word military. Possible. So theyre using the word military. But it possible. So theyre using the word military. But it does seem word military. But it does seem to me that this style guide seems a pretty, pretty crass be out of place and pretty out of date. Yeah. Now tom and in about mid day, the highlight of the day i bet you can barely wait the excitement is building here. Rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor, she makes the keynote speech today. If the labour win the election and it feels to me and you the mood here like they will, should be britains first woman chancellor exchequer. Shes facing some exchequer. But shes facing some rather comparisons exchequer. But shes facing some rataer comparisons exchequer. But shes facing some raia certain comparisons exchequer. But shes facing some raia certain woman omparisons exchequer. But shes facing some raia certain woman , mparisons exchequer. But shes facing some raia certain woman , an arisons exchequer. But shes facing some raia certain woman , an toryns to a certain woman, an tory politician. Tell me more. She is this morning. The buzz she is this morning. The buzz on everyones lips is Rachel Reeves the new liz truss , which reeves the new liz truss, which perhaps is not the accolade that she wants to be compared to. But but it is interesting because this is precisely what Rachel Reeves will be talking about today. She probably wont use today. She probably wont use the words supply side reform, but thats exactly what shell be talking about, about boosting the supply side growth, the economy growth , growth, growth. Economy growth, growth, growth. By economy growth, growth, growth. By dereck regulation. Yeah. Now, this is incredibly truesight. Right. So what shes talking aboutis right. So what shes talking about is particularly with regard to Energy Infrastructure sweeping away some of the red tape , some of the green red tape, some of the green red tape, some of the green red tape, what are known as Environmental Impact assessments. Its likely that those are going to be massively reformed in her announcement and remove aid for green projects. Remove aid for green projects. So if you want to build a wind farm or put up some interconnecting pylons or whatever, they wont need the same level of green green papennork that currently projects do now , can you imagine projects do now, can you imagine if the tory government were to propose this . If theyre if theyre stripping away protections for the environment , if theyre ripping up red tape and bureaucracy about dismantling the regulatory state . But this is precisely what Rachel Reeves is talking about, and particularly this is why are interested in why businesses are interested in what is saying. Theyre what labour is saying. Theyre talking the talking about getting the government way. It government out of the way. It sounds free market. And sounds pretty free market. And yet you just a few weeks ago yet if you just a few weeks ago the labour party opposed in the house of lords and defeated stone Michael Goves stone dead Michael Goves attempts far attempts to enable building far more rid of more houses by getting rid of a regulation, environmental regulation, an environmental regulation. Problem regulation. This is the problem , right . Its very easy for the laboun , right . Its very easy for the labour, the labour party, the labour, the labour party, the labour opposition. I almost said the government. Not the Labour Government. Were not quite soon, perhaps quite there yet. Soon, perhaps likely. Likely soon. A 20 point lead in the polls that has been borne by elections. But borne out by by elections. But it is clear that its much easier to Say Something at a podium than it is to vote for something in parliament to something in parliament or to encourage your mps to for encourage your mps to vote for that thing in parliament. Its very for the labour very easy for the Labour Government when its elected. If government when its elected. If its elected to say were going to deliver planning, reform , to deliver planning, reform, its easy to say because thats what Boris Johnson did and he tried to it and he was tried to do it and he was defeated in the house of commons. He withdrew the white papen commons. He withdrew the white paper. Cameron tried to do paper. David cameron tried to do it. Ballss planning reform it. Nick ballss planning reform that watered down and that was then watered down and withdrawn. Liz truss even tried to do it with her enterprise zones that included planning reform them and of course reform within them and of course that was all defeated and blown up the of her reform up with the rest of her reform agenda. Time again in agenda. Time and time again in the last 13 years, governments have tried to do similar things to what Rachel Reeves will be announcing middaytoday. To what Rachel Reeves will be announcing midday today. And announcing at midday today. And when it comes the crunch, when it comes to the crunch, when it comes to the crunch, when to interest when it comes to interest groups, whether its the rspb saying we need to protect the birds the wildlife or just birds and the wildlife or just local community saying, i dont want my spoilt , it tends want my views spoilt, it tends to be much, much harder in the actuality deliver this stuff. Actuality to deliver this stuff. A government majority of a government with a majority of 80 do it. 80 couldnt do it. Johnsons i mean, we Boris Johnsons i mean, we dont what majority labour dont know what majority labour get. Get one, its going get. If they get one, its going to difficult, isnt it . To be very difficult, isnt it . Difficult and incredibly difficult and especially our representative especially in our representative system. First, past the post mps represent areas. No doubt represent local areas. No doubt within these local areas we will hear groups say we dont want that here, we dont want this sort of liberalisation. Its going to be very, very tough. Were going fights , i were going to see fights, i think, a labour think, between a Labour Government and its labour backbenchers over precisely these issues. Its the same these issues. Its the same fights that weve seen the last few tory Prime Ministers having over similar issues, but it is interest and it is clear that the labour party views this as the labour party views this as the way theyre going to get growth by getting rid of red tape, by dismantle rolling some of that regulation that in some cases has been with us since clement attlee, the town and Country Planning act of 1948 still governs a lot of construction in this country. Its the its one of the big nationalisations that attlee did, but even thatcher didnt touch. So its pretty stark to see the labour party here saying to some extent therell be more radical than thatcher when it comes to deregulating building things country. Things in this country. All right. Thats tom hannood. She speaks to this conference around midday. Still to come , around midday. Still to come, im going to be talking to the labour mp steve mccabe in here in the conference about his partys plans to revive the economy. Youre britains economy. Youre with britains newsroom gb news radio. Good morning. Andrew pierce here at the labour Party Conference at times 1126. With me here is steve mccabe, the mp for Birmingham Selly oak. Steve wants to talk to you about whats coming out of this conference. I have to talk to you the horrific you first about the horrific scenes in the middle scenes unfolding in the middle east. Its almost east. Well, its almost indescribable , andrew. Indescribable, andrew. If anyone ever had any doubt about hamas, they shouldnt have it now. They are ugly, vicious terrorist beasts. They are indiscriminate in the things they do. And theyve unleashed they do. And theyve unleashed they do. And theyve unleashed the most horrendous series of events in the middle east. You say if anyones got any doubts, i will just ask you one question about this before we moved to on the conference. Your former leader, Jeremy Corbyn, seems to have doubts because he pointedly condemn pointedly would not condemn hamas the unprovoked assault hamas for the unprovoked assault on massacred on israel. Children massacred the rave. You saw 250, possibly gunned down by hamas and corbyn. Is it time to kick him out the party altogether . Well, of course hes not a member of the parliamentary, but hes a member of the labour party. Yes. Yes. And i think events there will take its course. Look, as far as im concerned, keir starmer and david lammy speak for me and they speak for labour and theyve been unequivocal in their condemnation. This highlights one of the fundamental problems with Jeremy Corbyn. Hes never been able to determine whos right and whos wrong. Wrong. Pretty. Now the labour conference Rachel Reeves speaks today. Keir starmer tomorrow. How does it feel to you . Veteran of conferences. You havent won of conferences. You havent won a general election since 2005. Ive been coming to these conferences probably as long as you have. There is a sense of expectation in the air, isnt there . Yeah, i think this isnt like 96. This is not the euphoria and the this is the one before blair won his landslide. Yes. I think its more there is a quiet determination here. I think its quite a series , this conference. Quite a series, this conference. Theres a lot of hope after events like the by election in rutherglen, lot of hope. But i think its actually quite a serious conference. I believe it is a conference about preparing for government. And i think paul coyte are being disciplined. Theyre being thoughtful and they are really trying to put on show to the public. This is what labour offers. Is there a danger, steve, of labour being overcautious . So speaking earlier to a guy whos done extensive focus groups, the group set up after the death of jo cox and every focus group shows labour way ahead, but says the same thing about keir starmer. Who is he . Is he stampfer . Hes that lawyer bloke , isnt he . Lawyers are very good at saying whats wrong . Not very how fix very good at saying how to fix it. Problem . It. Is that a problem . Well, i dont think i would entirely accept that analysis, but obviously i think well but of obviously i think well see more of keir tomorrow see a lot more of keir tomorrow. So i would say that we are in the phase where we have to do more about enthusing people and showing that things will change and cant change under labour. But i think thats the phase we are in now because what more in common with the guy i was speaking to, luke tryl from more in common, he said the focus groups show yes , the labour groups show yes, the labour party ahead, but not because of this great passion and conviction that blair, conviction that like blair, there great zeal for blair. He was the young radical people really wanted him to win. Its just a sense that the tories have screwed it up the tories have screwed it up in the countrys not working well. Are in a very different we are in a very different position is much position to the country is much more now than i think it more despawn now than i think it was in 1997. But i think the needis was in 1997. But i think the need is to demonstrate to people that it doesnt have to be like this. We can change things and this. We can change things and its not all about money. Its about values and its about attitudes and its aboutjust attitudes and its about just the small steps to show that things politics doesnt need to be so down in the dumps. It doesnt need to be so corrupt and unwelcoming. I think thats the things we can change and that mood change, i think will enthuse the public. You know, i noticed a long time just finally, steve, is there a sense for you, as there was in the dying months of Gordon Browns regime, like rishi sunak, he never won a general election, never had a mandate. Was leadership mandate. There was no leadership election amongst labour mps. It was coronation, effectively was a coronation, effectively a coronation for it didnt coronation for rishi. It didnt matter what gordon brown in matter what gordon brown did. In the country decided the end, the country decided time was theyd been in you time was up. Theyd been in you had been in power for what, 13 years . This been power years . This lot been in power nearly 14 years. Are in nearly 14 years. Are we in the same period . Same period . I think theres a lot of similarities. Keir i think theres a lot of similarities. Keir said at an event last night that hed been at three. This is his third Party Conference and hes faced three different Prime Ministers already. Dodi i think theres already. Dodi i think theres a sense the tories have run out of roads and i felt i saw that in manchester last week. All right. Manchester last week. All right. Thats steve mccabe. He is the labour mp for Birmingham Selly oak. Thanks for joining us. Be keeping you here at us. Well be keeping you here at the labour Party Conference.

So sir keir starmer is going to scrap the rwanda no surprises the rwanda plan. No surprises there. To be following there. He seems to be following there. He seems to be following the blair the same footsteps as blair brown miliband. They seem to brown and miliband. They seem to want to swamp britain with immigrants just to increase their votes and craig is saying, why do we still have vat . It was invented for europe. Were not invented for europe. Were not in that anymore. And that was because sacha lord for the Night Time Industries was talking liverpool talking to andrew in liverpool about impact on hospitality about the impact on hospitality of years. Is of the last few years. Alan is looking labour party looking at the labour Party Conference saying all small conference and saying all small time gimmicks , no substantive time gimmicks, no substantive policies. And alan has said, and policies. And alan has said, and this is because the rwanda project is in the Supreme Court today and alan has said the last attempted flight to rwanda tried to fly the grand total of nine immigrants out of the country. How ridiculous it to use 100 how ridiculous is it to use 100 plus seats for that . Youre right, alan. It didnt even right, alan. And it didnt even get off ground. Might do get off the ground. It might do in the next days, but at in the next few days, but at least will get the green least we will get the green light as to whether it can be possible or not.

Very good morning. Its 1139 very good morning. Its1139 with britains newsroom on gb news with andrew pearson, liverpool and bev turner here in london. So israels defence minister has ordered a total blockade of gaza now cutting off food and fuel and electricity. Food and fuel and electricity. This is the breaking news, obviously this story is evolving all the time. Mike parry and emma wolf are with me. Mike, just your thoughts on this tragedy. Were only day three of tragedy. Were only day three of this war. This is not going to get any better anytime soon. No, its not. I went to bed in stockbroker belt surrey last night, and its the calmest, most peaceful sort of place you can live. And i thought to myself, life weve got myself, what a life weve got here. Rockets smashing into your house in middle of the house in the middle of the night. Coming down the road night. Men coming down the road , machine smashing into , machine guns smashing into your kidnapped your your house and kidnapped your family. Mean, you cant family. I mean, you cant imagine horror and imagine the sheer horror and terror thats going on there. Terror thats going on there. And israel is the only democracy in the whole of the middle east. And yet theyve got enemies on all sides. So whoever opens their mouth and says israel are being a bit hard hit on these people who are attacking them. No, theyre fighting for their lives. The whole plot here is to try and start a movement to obliterate israel and literally wipe it off the face of the earth. Thats irans plan. And iran almost certainly have funded this and planned it over a number of months. Its a determined effort to try and get rid of israel. What do we do with the information about the fact that biden has given iran 6 billion in humanitarian and humanitarian aid only recently . Yeah, this is a very sort of contentious issue. Its not just that money. What he did was he handed over 6 billion and got five Political Prisoners back in return. The money was not allowed to be paid directly to the iranian government. But once , you know, theres an inflow of 6 billion into your National Economy , wherever it is, you can economy, wherever it is, you can get money elsewhere. But the get money elsewhere. But the real issue was afghanistan can once the world saw that biden was so disinterested in america, the world policeman exercising its right to try and keep countries stable , they thought, countries stable, they thought, were going to have a go here. This wouldnt have happened, in my view , under donald trump. My view, under donald trump. This morning, President Biden has announced sending an Aircraft Carrier and six support ships to get into the middle to east rattle the sabre. Too late because donald trump would have sent an Aircraft Carrier weeks ago because theyd have found out this was happening. Theyd have known. You see, thats interesting because piers pottinger was in here earlier, political and political commentator emma, and he under trump, he was saying that under trump, we be in a more we would be in a more potentially dangerous situation because know trump could because we know that trump could because we know that trump could be and perhaps be unpredictable and perhaps a little trigger happy. Had an amazing period but we had an amazing period of peace leadership in america. We did. And i think this is going to be a real test, not only of the international communitys response, but of President Biden theres been communitys response, but of pre sortst biden theres been communitys response, but of pre sorts ofiden theres been communitys response, but of pre sorts of concern theres been all sorts of concern about whether compos whether hes actually compos mentis, is mentis, whether hes who is making decisions, but he making the decisions, but he cant way through cant bumble his way through this one. And as say, mike, this one. And as you say, mike, hes announced today, this morning hes sending morning that hes sending warships morning that hes sending warshiinto the middle east and right. Into the middle east and this is im not even talking about what sides youre on. It simply imagine the individuals involved, the young babies, the children , all the all the images children, all the all the images weve seen all weekend of young party goers. First of all, you know, theres an outdoor raves. The young german tattoo artists, young woman , beautiful young young woman, beautiful young girl body was paraded through the streets of gaza and spat upon. I mean, these are all and theyre hostages. The imagined now. And its unimaginable calls for western support. For western support. Yeah, it does call for western support. It took us a while to get that flag even onto the Prime Ministers house. I totally agree. And i was quite right about the biden situation. This is a time in the world when you need a president of the United States whos thinking straightfonnardly, whos thinking straightfor now y, whos thinking straightfor now its all very positively. Now its all very well for your correspondent earlier to have said it could have more dangerous under have been more dangerous under donald but if memory donald trump. But if memory serves me right, donald trump negated the threat of north korea in the world. He was always threatening the little man who runs north korea to press the Nuclear Button sooner trump got in and said, you got a button . Ive got a bigger button than you. Forget it. And we didnt hear from him again. So in my view, if you stand up to these brutal dictators like trump did, i think youve got a better chance of getting a result because they only respect force. But was President Biden asleep on his watch . I mean, asleep on his watch . I mean, where was the intelligence . Where was the intelligence . Okay, for the civilians on the ground . This came out of a Clear Blue Sky on saturday morning in the most shocking way. Totally agree. Why was this not seen . Why did biden about why did biden not know about this questions, but why this so many questions, but why did idf to know about. Why did mossad not know about it . You know, mossad have got the tentacles around the for world terrorism. Shouldnt world terrorism. They shouldnt just world terrorism. They shouldnt jusiyeah, its extraordinary. Yeah, its extraordinary. I mean, questions to be mean, there are questions to be answered. The answered. I guess in the fullness time. Those are the fullness of time. Those are the questions investigations questions and the investigations that will be done, i suppose. Emma, there emma, in the short term, there will be, course, leaders all will be, of course, leaders all around world, particularly will be, of course, leaders all ar the| world, particularly will be, of course, leaders all ar the middle rld, particularly will be, of course, leaders all ar the middle east,articularly will be, of course, leaders all ar the middle east, inicularly will be, of course, leaders all ar the middle east, in thearly will be, of course, leaders all ar the middle east, in the gulf in the middle east, in the gulf states, but also here and in america. We do now and america. What do we do now and how do we stop this bleeding out into the rest of the world . I have a very bad feeling about this. I have a very, very bad feeling about this. And, you know, yeah, its going to be a ground invasion. And weve already whats happening already seen whats happening in gaza in retaliation. No one gaza now in retaliation. No one can just can blame. And also, just given the value and gas right now. Yes, mike. Yes, mike. Well, listen, whenever we have trouble in the middle east, people dont they . People go for gold, dont they . And oil price starts rising. And the oil price starts rising. The whole objective of this was to stop a new deal happening between israel and saudi arabia. They were very close to coming together. Israel have deals with jordan and with egypt and that part of the world. If they could have sealed it with saudi arabia, but saudi arabia and iran are big enemies as well. So iran are big enemies as well. So iran didnt want that because of the Saudi Arabian wealth. But i totally agree with you about where does go here and do you where does it go here and do you know what plan their know what their plan is . Their plan well, west plan is that, well, the west will israel for a while, will support israel for a while, but they might get war but then they might get war weary, which is exactly the same plan putin undertake plan that putin is undertake making ukraine, hoping making in the ukraine, hoping that the west will that eventually the west will just get weary about defending a country a long way away. You know what i mean . Absolutely. Well, you know, arms will be arms manufacturers will be selling rating today. Thats absolutely the tragedy is in war, somebody is always profiting somewhere. Right thanks for your contributions on that, guys. Its so important. Right. We talk about right. Should we talk about repeat . No, i want to talk about repeat . No, i want to talk about the free speech tsar emma. Yeah. So free speech is something that we absolutely uphold here at gb news. It is in our dna. And im delighted to say that the university is organisation, what are called . The office are they called . The office for students students. Students office for students. Thank have appointed a free thank you. Have appointed a free speech. Air yeah. Feels about time. But is he political . So no. He says hes politically neutral. This is professor arif ahmed. He comes from cambridge. He professor arif ahmed. He comes from cambridge. He says hes from cambridge. He says hes politically neutral. He doesnt want to get involved in the culture hes launching his culture wars. Hes launching his Mission Today at Kings College with a speech all about how being offended jokes, satire, being offended jokes, satire, being challenged and having views that you dont agree with. Shock, horror are part of the educational experience. He wants to defend the rights of academic students, visiting speakers to speak. Weve seen lots of no platforming. Weve seen loads of kind of issues around people. The trans issue, for example, on University Campuses and professor ahmed is saying hes politically neutral and hes saying he wants says we are saying he wants he says we are we equally vigorous in we will be equally vigorous in defending speech rights of defending free speech rights of students, and speakers students, academics and speakers , and that he has no interest in the culture wars. This is good news. Mike well, its really good news and its come out of the blue. I didnt know this guy was going to be this guy thinking, wow, were pushing back against those culture. Best those cancel culture. The best line he says, understand line is he says, i understand the Chilling Effect of groupthink. So hes really groupthink. So hes really getting into the idea that 14 people sending out twitter messages could close down, you know, a speaker at a university because they personally feel offended. And whats great, whats really interesting in this article in the times is that we have britain has fallen significantly down the rankings. There are rankings, Academic Freedom. We are dropping way freedom. We are dropping way down because of this terrified cancel culture. This no platforming culture. Yes. And he wants to reverse that. Thats right. I read another piece. You know, a couple of weeks ago, which i could barely believe. Says kids believe. But it says that kids growing up now in teenage years, a of them a certain percentage of them have never been told how to assess an argument from somebody else, which is directly opposed to their views. Some kids in teenagers dont think its right for anybody to have a view which is contrary to it was it was the boss of channel 4. I cant remember her name, but she was talking at a Television Conference only a couple of weeks ago and she said the problem with young the problem with the young people that shes trying to employ 4 is they employ at channel 4 is that they believe they cant work believe that they cant work with whose opinions believe that they cant work with the whose opinions believe that they cant work with the sameyse opinions believe that they cant work with the same as opinions believe that they cant work with the same as theirs. 1s arent the same as theirs. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Now, why is that happened . Thats because of a thats happened because of a perpetually offended generation. Exactly think they have exactly who think they have a right to say that . You cant say that. And ill tell you whats really alarming. My three year old told me the other day when i told him to put his socks on, he said, i have rights. And he started listening. This started listening. And this is no, this song. Welcome to no, this is a song. Welcome to the world of education. They have taught at nursery. We have taught him at nursery. We have taught him at nursery. We have i dont know how it have rights. I dont know how it goes. Then lists your have rights. I dont know how it goes. And then lists your have rights. I dont know how it goes. And alln lists your have rights. I dont know how it goes. And all of lists your have rights. I dont know how it goes. And all of them. our have rights. I dont know how it goes. And all of them. Inur have rights. I dont know how it goes. And all of them. I accept rights and all of them. I accept that he has those rights too. Something about a warm home and a food and a this a that and a food and a this and a that and education and da da da. Education and da da da da da. But i just found it really odd. Three year olds are being told, you rights. Can say no. You have rights. You can say no. Well, my childrens yes. Well, my childrens primary also had this Primary School also had this thing on wall saying things thing on the wall saying things like, you have right to be like, you have a right to be heard. And was to my heard. And i was saying to my kids, exactly. Kids, not always. Exactly. Always actually. Sometimes a child is in charge. You dont have a right to be heard. Thats one of the points about being an adult is when youre an adult, you have your heard. You can have your voice heard. But a sometimes you but as a child, sometimes you have to just shut up and do it. Do what youre told. Director of free our new director of free speech says freedom of speech and freedom are and Academic Freedom are fundamental and Academic Freedom are fund. That|tal of the basic isnt that one of the basic rights that we all grew up with . Why that have to be why does that have to be explained by education if its not opposing views and not to hear opposing views and to up mind based on to make up your mind based on opinions facts and hearing opinions and facts and hearing other people . Opinions and facts and hearing oth well,yple . Opinions and facts and hearing oth well, im . Opinions and facts and hearing oth well, im glad a good well, im glad theres a good news story on free speech anyway. Right . Is this anyway. Right . What is this about shoplifting about shoplifters . Shoplifting is this is a hideous issue in this country at moment. People country at the moment. People are going into stores. Are just going into stores. Theyre themselves. Theyre helping themselves. Theyre helping themselves. Theyre walking out and not being or being never mind arrested or charged or anything. Whats charged or anything. So whats happened, emma . Talking happened, emma . Theyre talking about changing jury process. About changing the jury process. If youre a convicted so now if youre a convicted repeat offender and its not very likely that anyone is because the police are not convicting anyone for shoplifting. But crime has shoplifting. But the crime has gone the scale. Costing gone off the scale. Its costing 8 million offences. 8 million, 8 million offences. Its around £1 billion its costing around £1 billion a year retailers from now on. Year to retailers from now on. Convicted offenders under these plans, under these proposals will have the right will not have the right to have their case heard in the crown court. So theres a huge backlog at the crown court of serious, really serious crimes like rape, violence, things like that of cases. Violence, things like that of cases. And its not as cases. And now its not as though shoplifters wont get their will heard by their say. They will be heard by a magistrate which a magistrate court, which i think absolutely right. Why think is absolutely right. Why should they be clogging the should they be clogging up the crown with a crime that crown court with a crime that they committed themselves . They have committed themselves . Right. Think people need is right. I think people need it is a idea. A great idea. Billion is the bill now £1 billion is the bill now that retailers in this country have suffered over the last 12 months . I was going to say months . Yeah, i was going to say from violence, from abuse. Yeah, from violence, from abuse. Yeah, from violence, from abuse. Yeah, from shoplifting. From from shoplifting. The idea that some scallywag you know whos a repeat shoplifting offender can simply push the consequences of it away by saying to the police or by saying to the police or by saying to the police or by saying to a magistrates and magistrates, i want to go before a jury is so ludicrous as to be unthinkable that it could happen even for a first time shoplifter. Why would you jam up the courts with this when the courts need to get on with doing things that keep our country safe . What do you think is behind this shoplifting epidemic . Emma i had more surveillance in i never had more surveillance in these shops. These shops. Very odd. Will. The surveillance is not being followed on just from whatever. Yeah, but. Yeah, but. But even if they have footage, the police dont look, we dont have enough police. Are people but why are people shoplifting . Because is itjust shoplifting . Because is it just poverty . Have always been. Its not its not people going in. Its not people going in and taking laboratory paper and food. Is gangs in and taking laboratory paper and in food. Is gangs in and taking laboratory paper and in and d. Is gangs in and taking laboratory paper and in and stealing; gangs in and taking laboratory paper and in and stealing to angs in and taking laboratory paper and in and stealing to order, going in and stealing to order, stealing the expensive things, the blades, the huge the razor blades, the huge amounts of champagne, pouring it into leaving the into their bags and leaving the store with utter impunity. This store with utter impunity. This is not a result of the cost of living crisis. This is you know, of course, that shoplifting is still happening. But i think we still happening. But i think we have to be clear, this is a culture of, you know, the police arent going to follow a culture of saying, i just i mobile phones. I can just take it. If its not the state looking after me, then ill just go and nick something dont think it is. Something i dont think it is. A culture of i i think its a culture of i know i can get away with this, so going do it. Exactly. So im going to do it. Exactly. Thats what i think it is. Because, you know, when i was a kid, if you walked out of a shop with mars you were with a mars bar, you were worried you might walk into a policeman if you got 12 yards down you might hear down the street, you might hear the whistle. You shoplifter, your parents out and your parents might find out and tell exactly. But the tell you off exactly. But the reason these people do reason a lot of these people do this is they think know this is they think i know somebody who goes shoplifting. They caught. Come somebody who goes shoplifting. They loads caught. Come somebody who goes shoplifting. They loads of caught. Come somebody who goes shoplifting. They loads of free jght. Come somebody who goes shoplifting. They loads of free goods. Come somebody who goes shoplifting. They loads of free goods. I come with loads of free goods. I dont do it myself, but i also wonder a parent like wonder if it is a parent like a parenting failure of the last sort of 10 to 15 years as well, of not breakdowns as well. Know, my son, when he was you know, my son, when he was about ten years old, had a mate, and went into a shop and they went into a shop in near a beach and his mate nicked a bits and pieces like and a few bits and pieces like and i saw in the pocket and saw it in the pocket and i marched them both back into the shop. And i made them apologise to and it to the shopkeeper and put it back on. Theyd never stole anything but people dont anything again. But people dont do right. Do that so much, do they . Right. Its to see you. Its been lovely to see you. Thank you for keeping me company while im away. Mike emma while im away. Mike perry. Emma wolf. And wolf.
