A press conference in tel aviv. Israel says more than 200 hostages were taken when hamas attacked on october the 7th. One israeli mother begged hamas to release her kidnapped children. The whole world have to scream and to ask for human humanity. And i think and i pray and i beg him and i ask even hamas at this moment, you have the opportunity to show that you still have humanity. Opportunity to show that you still have humanity. Im asking the whole world and your voice to scream to the. Sky, to the to scream to the. Sky, to the sky is open. Bring to scream to the. Sky, to the sky is open. Bring our to scream to the. Sky, to the sky is open. Bring our children home. Asylum seekers have returned to the bibby stockholm in portland despite activists attempting to prevent it from happening. Just stop. Oil protesters obstructed a coach carrying migrants holding banners reading no prison ships and demand humanity. All 39 people were removed from the barge in august after legionella bacteria was discovered and more than 400 homes have been asked to evacuate in the scottish town of brecon in preparation for the arrival of storm babet a red weather warning has been issued, meaning there is a risk to life with flooding and with extensive flooding and strong winds stronger than 70 miles an hour forecast. But this miles an hour forecast. But this is gb news live across the uk. Is gb news live across the uk. Ill be back with more a little later. But now its over to. Nigel good evening. Well it was a scottish minister humza yousaf who kicked the debate off yesterday. I mentioned it briefly at the end of the show last night. He is arguing that we take people, maybe a we should take people, maybe a lot of people from gaza. This is what the Scottish First minister had to say. They are currently had to say. They are currently a 1 Million People display based within gaza. Within gaza. So therefore im calling today on the International Community to commit to a worldwide Refugee Program for the people of gaza. Im calling the people of gaza. Im calling on the government to to take urgent steps. Firstly they should immediately begin work on the creation of a Refugee Resettlement scheme for those in gaza who want to. And of course are able to leave. And when they do so, scotland is willing to be the first country in the uk to offer safety and sanctuary to those who are caught up in these terrible attacks. This. Well terrible attacks. This. Well there we are. Scotland is ready, but hes really saying the whole of the uk should be ready. Now, lets be clear about one thing. Since 2016, we have taken in over half a Million People, half a Million People as refugees. As weve people as refugees. As weve been told, its all because of exceptional circumstances in hong kong , in syria, in hong kong, in syria, in afghanistan, and of course , more afghanistan, and of course, more recently in ukraine. The numbers are so high because there exceptional. But hey, here comes yet another exception. And you yet another exception. And you know something, the unhcr say there are 80 Million People around the world who are living in war zones, who potentially could qualify as refugees. I could qualify as refugees. I would make the argument that if you add to that the hordes of young men crossing the English Channel young men crossing the English Channel, who we have to put up in 400 hotels in private residences and now of course, back on barges in dorset, that we simply cant cope. And in terms of numbers , we should say terms of numbers, we should say enough. Terms of numbers, we should say enough. What i find even more enough. What i find even more interesting is the reaction of people who are neighbours to gaza, for example , take what the gaza, for example, take what the egyptian president said yesterday. He said, what is happening now in gaza is an attempt to force civilian residents to take refuge and migrate to egypt, which should not be accepted. Egypt rejects not be accepted. Egypt rejects any attempt to resolve the palestinian issue by military means or through the forced displacement of palestinians from their land, which would come at the expense of other countries of the reason he went on to say that the egyptian people would go out and protest in their millions if called upon to do so. So egypt will not be taking any refugees from gaza. Taking any refugees from gaza. King abdullah ii of jordan said no refugee is in jordan, no , no no refugee is in jordan, no, no refugees in egypt. And lets remind ourselves, shall we . Lets remind ourselves that saudi arabia did not take a single refugee from syria because they were worried it would affect their culture and their safety in saudi arabia. These are words that maybe we ought to listen to. And of course, weve had over the course, weve had over the course of the last week, these marches that have taken place in london, in belfast, in birmingham, in in edinburgh, in manchester, marches at which people who live within our communities, but have a different set of values to those of the more settled population , of the more settled population, have been out in some cases openly celebrating terrorist atrocities. Now, im going to atrocities. Now, im going to give you some stats from denmark that are very shocking. In 1992, that are very shocking. In 1992, denmark gave refuge to 321 palestinians by 2019, the Government Produced results for what had happened to them. 64 what had happened to them. 64 of those that had been given refuge had obtained criminal records. 34 of their children records. 34 of their children had obtained criminal records. Had obtained criminal records. And bear in mind, many of the children hadnt yet grown up and the vast majority were living on welfare. That particular influx of refugees is that went in to denmark proved to be a mistake and a complete disaster. And thats before hamas really got into gear. Thats before hamas really got into gear. Id ask humza yousaf and anyone that thinks we should take large numbers of people from gaza , why on earth should from gaza, why on earth should we risk our National Security . Frank kelly it doesnt make sense. Weve had a record over centuries of helping people in trouble, but i say for now enoughs enough. And i say that on the very day that the integration tsar for the government, who is independent of the home office, has said that because of mass integration , we have Serious Problems with integration in our country. So integration in our country. So should we take people from gaza . My answer is no. Love to know what you think. Please farage at gbnews. Com now. Rishi sunak has beenin gbnews. Com now. Rishi sunak has been in israel today. He is tonight in saudi arabia for what i found fascinating was this clip where he was asked about the attack on the hospital. The number of people that were killed. It was very clear from american intelligence yesterday that the initial reports that had come from the bbc and others that had put the blame absolutely squarely on israel were wrong. The americans were were wrong. The americans were clear and much of the rest of the world agrees. And yet, when rishi sunak was asked about this , this is what he had to say. I said, its important that we take the time to establish the facts. Met with chair the facts. I met with the chair of our joint Intelligence Committee in the committee and they are in the process looking at all the process of looking at all the evidence, reviewing the facts available. So the british Prime Minister not backing american intelligence, not backing what israel is saying , not backing israel is saying, not backing what so many in the media and around the International Community are saying and looking, frankly in that clip, like a frightened rabbit. Why . Well, i would put it to you that what the Prime Minister does not want to do is to provoke even more unrest and protest on the streets of our country because we have so many people who will completely blind only take the palestinian side and in most cases many cases refuse to condemn the atrocities of the 7th of october that folks , is 7th of october that folks, is the country were living in. None of you ever voted for it. It was done to it, done to us by successive labour and conservative governments. Lets conservative governments. Lets go to tel aviv and join our gb News Reporter there, charlie peters. Charlie, what did rishi sunak achieve on his day in israel . Israel . Mostly congratulation and solidarity. He thanked Prime Minister netanyahu for opening that humanitarian aid access from egypt into to gaza. So far, though, no trucks have crossed. Weve heard that there are dozens gathering on the egyptian side waiting for entry, but that has been a key goal of american and british diplomacy. And he also told the israelis, we want you to win. And this afternoon weve heard from the defence minister, yoav galant, who said to troops gathering in the south that convoy on the border with the gaza strip , he said that you the gaza strip, he said that you can see gaza from afar, but soon you will see it from the inside. The order will come. There is no going back from that kind of messaging. Is the feeling in israel tonight that an invasion is now highly likely after those statements matched by a general in the south who also said that future manoeuvres in gaza were coming. And so rishi sunak delivering his message was one really of solidarity and reference to humanitarian aid because britain will not have a military role here in supporting and supplying the israelis in that likely ground invasion. In that likely ground invasion. In that likely ground invasion. In that role is more for washing tonne, but there is also concern in israel about what the end state will be is israel planning for what will happen after that invasion takes place and it completes its original mission, its primary objective to destroy hamass military capabilities. Hamass military capabilities. The feeling here, and indeed in the us, is that they havent considered what comes next. Yeah, and as weve learned ourselves, of course, from iraq and afghanistan , dan, if you and afghanistan, dan, if you havent got an exit strategy thatis havent got an exit strategy that is a very, very major Strategic Military problem and charlie, tell us what is the situation in the north on the border with lebanon is that continue to deteriorate. Continue to deteriorate. There is a relative lull in activity this morning, but come early evening , there had been 30 early evening, there had been 30 missiles launched from southern lebanon into northern israel, suddenly very quick change into a high activity situation. Some 11 missiles being claimed by hamas there, many of them landing success fully in northern israel, injuring and wounding people in those towns there. Beyond the military evacuation zone, the iron dome missile air defence system failed to intercept all of those missiles reaching in. And there are also growing concerns about the rage in ramallah in the west bank, where dozens were arrested overnight on suspicion of being unked overnight on suspicion of being linked to hamas in protest. There are in beirut, in baghdad , there are in beirut, in baghdad, in cairo. And today, Prime Minister el sisi urged the population in egypt to protest tomorrow. So its highly likely tomorrow. So its highly likely that well see further protests and rage outside american , and rage outside american, israeli and indeed british embassies across the arab region. But i think the most concerning development for the security of the region today is those reported missile and suicide drone attacks on american troops in syria and iraq. Almost certainly conducted by terror groups aligned to the iranians, who of course, have been posturing, very aggressive since this war started. If american soldiers get killed in this region during this war, it will be a major escalation. It certainly would. Charlie peters from tel aviv, thank you very much indeed. Im going now to houston in texas to be joined by kelsey norman, fellow for the middle east at rice universitys Baker Institute and director of the womens rights, human rights and refugees program. Good and refugees program. Good evening. Thank you forjoining evening. Thank you for joining us from texas. I read out us from texas. I read out earlier, i dont know whether you heard it, statements from the egyptian president , the egyptian president , statements from the king of jordan and both of those countries are making. And just as we had back at the time of syria, theyre both making it clear that they simply wont accept out refugees. What do you think their key motivation is . Well, just to be clear, both egypt and jordan did accept large numbers of syrian refugees. But youre correct that they are in objection to receiving palestinians from gaza and part of the largest objection that wasnt really displayed in that quote from president el sisi is the objection to being complicit in forcing palestinians to leave their territory with no guaranteed right of returning to it after this war is over. Yeah , though he did make that yeah, though he did make that point. Youre right. And all i was saying was that it was saudi arabia that didnt take refugees from syria. But what do you think, kelsey . I mean, do think, kelsey . I mean, what do you think west ought to do . You think the west ought to do . Because as you know, the calls in this country now are that we should allow people to come from gaza and weve allowed people from, you know, ukraine, afghanistan , iran, syria, hong afghanistan, iran, syria, hong kong. Afghanistan, iran, syria, hong kong. And do you think that kong. And do you think that america and the west now has a moral duty to take refugees from gaza . Gaza . I gaza . I think both the uk and the us do have moral duties to receive refugees from all over the world. I think the practical cities of individuals coming from gaza are extremely limited and i think right now the bigger question is whether egypt can be pressured to accept any palestinians at the present as you said, its saying no negotiation are ongoing and have been since the weekend. But the reality of palestinians coming to either the uk or the us is very difficult. Palestinians have a particular legal status internationally thats different from other refugee groups and they might not also want to leave the proximity to palestine because there is this continued hope that they will be able to return. Now thats a fair point. And no ones really asked people whether they want to leave. When you though, that have you say, though, that we have a moral you know, moral obligation, you know, i mean, my country, weve been taking refugees for centuries. I mean, weve got a very, very proud record on this. But there does come a point and, you know, weve taken half a million refugees over the course of the last 6 or 7 years. What do you say we have a moral obligation . Surely there has to be some upper limit in terms of number somewhere. Well, i saw this year, according to the most recent statistics from the uk, that the uk is taking about 50,000 refugees. Its taken another 150,000 individuals with temporary humanitarian status, and that is mostly ukrainians, right . So if were talking about 50,000 individuals compared to a country like turkey, for example, that hosts 4 million refugees, jordan that hosts in the millions, lebanon as well. A fourth of its population is refugees. I think the uk fourth of its population is refugees. I think the uk and fourth of its population is refugees. I think the uk and the refugees. I think the uk and the us as wealthy countries can do more to accept refugees that are going through, you know, extremely secure vetting process to ensure that theyre not posing any risk to know quite. And there is the point about democratic consent. But look , democratic consent. But look, kelsey, i take the point youre making and you make it with great passion and great knowledge. And i thank you very much for much indeed. Thank you for joining care. Well, im joining me. Take care. Well, im joined now by Lieutenant Colonel stuart crawford, defence analyst, lieutenant analyst, former Lieutenant Colonel royal tank colonel in the fourth royal tank regiment snp Defence Regiment and former snp defence spokesman, which is perfect because it is the first minister in scotland , humza yousaf, whos in scotland, humza yousaf, whos kicked off this debate. And he kicked off this debate. And he begins by saying , look, whats begins by saying, look, whats the problem . You know, were very, very happy to accept people into scotland. Well, maybe hes speaking for the snp activist base, but is he really speaking for the scottish people, in your view . Well thats a very good question, actually. And i think that we have to be aware that humza yousaf has skin in the game here. His parents in law are stuck in gaza at the moment and nor would we wouldnt wish that on anybody. And of course, he is a muslim. So i think hes a he has got that angle to what hes saying. Im also conscious of the fact that the scots have forever been saying that the highlands need to be repopulated and perhaps thats what hes thinking of. But with humour aside, it was, hang on, if you repopulate the highlands with people from a completely different culture, different language to begin with, at least different religion, is that really going to work . Well, not in the short term, no. No. And i just i just i made that suggestion tongue in cheek. I know you did. But it was alex salmond who you know well, who was forever saying scotland isnt up yet. Come scotland isnt full up yet. Come and join i think that and join us. And i think that humza yousaf has inherited that via his predecessor , nicola. And via his predecessor, nicola. And its a continuing a theme within the snp , the scottish people. The snp, the scottish people. Weve got a quite big for a very small population of 5. 5 million inches scotland. Weve got big ethnic communities up there which have integrated extremely well. One can think of east asians and those from from the indian subcontinent, a very big jewish community. So i dont think that there are any intrinsic biases in the Scottish Population against this sort of thing. But as your correspondent from your country , from america from your
